The Lotus Pavilion is quite large, with a large table, a small table, and a soft couch where guests can lie down and rest.
It's fair to say there's a reason why the Lu family's business is number one in town. They know that customers who book such luxurious private rooms are not short of money and enjoy life.
Therefore, the three large, luxurious private rooms on the second floor are all very comfortably furnished.
Therefore, these three private rooms are always booked every day.
Zhuzhu and Zhao were sitting at a small table when they saw the group of people enter, and they quickly stood up.
After another round of pleasantries and introductions, everyone exchanged pleasantries and introduced themselves to each other.
Yun Chang also formally paid his respects to Madam Zhao as Li Mai's elder brother, saying that he had brought her a gift from the capital and that he hadn't expected to meet her today. He would present it to her formally tomorrow.
Chu Yan and Zhong Hui also paid their respects to the Zhao family as Li Mai's apprentices. Here, no one mentioned or would mention their identities.
After the three men paid their respects to Zhao, they sat down next to Zhuzhu and greeted her.
They knew that Li Mai and Zhou Quan had a daughter, but that she wasn't their biological child; she was adopted.
The three people spoke to Zhuzhu, asking her if she knew what to call them.
Zhuzhu knew them naturally. Her parents had told her when they came back that she had an uncle and two senior brothers.
"Zhuzhu, do you know who I am?" Yun Chang asked with a smile as she sat on the soft couch, holding Zhuzhu in her arms.
Zhuzhu smiled, "I know, you're my eldest uncle. My mother told me about you, Uncle. Is your leg better? Does it still hurt?"
Yun Chang looked at Zhuzhu and was stunned for a moment. How many years has it been?
It seems that after my grandparents passed away, I no longer have any relatives in this world. Although the people around me care about me, it is ultimately different from the care that relatives have given me.
When he was injured and unable to move, the people who took care of him were the guards around him.
No one in his family has ever felt sad for him, shed tears for him, or worried about him anymore.
He never expected that this niece, whom he had only met for the first time and who was not related to him by blood, would suddenly make him feel the care of a relative.
This child is only four years old, right?
He knew that it was his younger sister, Limai, who had told Zhuzhu about his situation, and that the child was sensible and thoughtful.
This child is truly kind-hearted; she even asked herself if she was still in pain!
"Uncle's pain is gone, thank you for your concern, Zhuzhu." Yun Chang patted Zhuzhu's head and responded softly.
"That's good!" Zhuzhu replied happily, then looked at Chu Yan and Zhong Hui.
The two of them also wanted to test Zhuzhu, "Zhuzhu, look at us, who is your senior brother and who is your second senior brother?"
Zhuzhu glanced at the two of them and giggled, "Mother said that the eldest brother's name is Zhong Hui, and that he has smaller eyes than the second brother, but is taller than the second brother."
"So, you're the second senior brother, and you're the eldest senior brother!" Zhuzhu said, then looked at Limai and asked, "Mother, am I right?"
Li Mai smiled as she watched the little girl win over the three people with just a few words, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, my Zhuzhu is so smart!"
Zhuzhu chuckled and slid off Yun Chang's lap. "Uncle's leg is just healed, so I won't press down on him anymore. Daddy said Zhuzhu has gained weight after the New Year."
Zhu Zhu's words immediately made everyone in the room laugh.
Zhou Quan gave an awkward smile, patted her head, and said, "Go sit with Grandma and eat your snacks!"
When Li Mai came in, she had already bought some snacks for Zhu Zhu outside, so that she and her grandmother could sit down and eat them.
After all, Yun Wang and his group are drinking at this table, so it's better for the three women to eat at a smaller table.
In situations where elders are present and there are also men from outside the family, it is best for men and women to sit separately.
Li Mai first helped them pour tea, and then had the three of them sit at the table with Zhou Quan to drink tea and wait for the food.
At this moment, Lu Qian came in carrying a wooden tray with two plates of snacks and placed them on the two tables.
"Thank you, Uncle Lu." Zhuzhu said her thanks to Lu Qian in a well-behaved manner.
"You're welcome. If Zhuzhu wants anything else to eat, just tell your uncle and he'll go buy it for you." Lu Qian smiled indulgently at Zhuzhu.
He had quite a few children in his household, but none of them gave him the feeling that they were still cute.
But after meeting Zhuzhu, he finally realized how adorable and endearing cute children are.
Perhaps it's because the others in the mansion are younger brothers and sisters, while Zhuzhu is a junior and calls him uncle?
Anyway, Zhuzhu is the first child he has ever truly loved and cherished in his heart.
In his eyes, Zhuzhu was not only smart, but also very cute, with big, bright eyes that darted around, clearly indicating that she was a child with many ideas.
Moreover, Lu Qian felt that Zhuzhu was a lucky charm, and that being with Zhuzhu seemed to bring him good fortune.
Yesterday, Li Mai and the others were busy hanging up clothes, and he couldn't help, so he took Zhu Zhu out shopping.
As a result, they came across an old man selling secondhand items on the street.
He usually doesn't look at these things, but when Zhuzhu passed by, she suddenly grabbed him and said, "Let's see if there's anything your mother likes."
Lu Qian then squatted down with her in front of the stall, looking at the old things.
As a result, after rummaging through those things, he found a jade bracelet that was mostly covered in silver, and it didn't look valuable at first glance.
But the Lu family had been in the jewelry business for generations, so Lu Qian naturally grew up surrounded by jewelry and knew a lot about fine things. He recognized it at a glance. Wasn't this the priceless Silver Moon bracelet that he had read about in a book?
However, due to the passage of time, the silver parts have changed color, causing the Silver Moon to lose its famous original color.
Lu Qian was stunned and couldn't believe it. He looked at it carefully several more times, even examining the exposed jade parts one by one.
Meanwhile, the old man was helping Zhuzhu find the things she wanted to find for her mother, and he didn't notice Lu Qian's gaze.
As a result, Zhuzhu couldn't find anything suitable to give to her mother. Lu Qian took a fancy to this bracelet and asked the old man how much it cost.
The old man said two taels of silver.
Lu Qian couldn't believe it. "Old man, are you sure? Where did you get this bracelet?"
"A poor scholar sold this to me for two taels of silver a few years ago. I don't want to make money off you. If you can give me two taels, you can take it. Before, no one would even give me one tael, so it has never been sold," the old man said with a sigh.
Lu Qian silently took another look at the bracelet. It's terrifying how people don't know its value!
Therefore, he directly took out a five-tael silver note and gave it to the old man, saying, "Old man, I don't have any change either, so here's five taels for you, and the rest is for your trouble."
This was also the first time he had done something like this; when bargaining for something, he always tried to negotiate a higher price.
