Chapter 634: Naive
Naive, isn't it?
Chu Jinzhou glanced at Banqing and blinked.
If it were in the past, he would dare to say that Chu Jinnian would definitely come back to see him first after returning.
But now...
He still has self-awareness.
But Ban Qing overlooked this, so Chu Jinzhou did not elaborate on it, and just said, "I also want to see Big Brother sooner."
Ban Qing nodded in agreement.
As for Chu Jinzhou, in the whole family, only Chu Jinnian treated him the best, and he naturally treated Chu Jinnian as his only relative.
It has been several months since Chu Jinnian left the capital, so it is natural for Chu Jinzhou to miss him.
Ban Qing stopped trying to persuade him and just waited here with Chu Jinzhou.
Wait and wait, from morning till noon.
When both of them felt hungry as if they were beating drums, they could vaguely hear the sound of horse hooves coming from afar.
Then I saw two tall horses approaching from afar, and gradually I could make out the appearance of the people coming.
It was not someone else but Chu Jinnian and Jing Zhao.
"It's Big Brother." Chu Jinzhou stood on the carriage and waved excitedly at Chu Jinnian, "Big Brother, I'm here..."
Almost as soon as the words fell, a horse neighed and Jing Zhao's horse stopped in front of Chu Jinzhou. At the same time, Chu Jinnian's horse did not slow down at all, but instead went even faster, galloping past Chu Jinzhou like a gust of wind.
And left behind a residual image.
Chu Jinzhou closed his mouth and watched Chu Jinnian and his horse disappear from his sight. He sighed helplessly and then looked at Ban Qing beside him.
Look, what did he say?
I have said it before, his eldest brother has always been stubborn. In the past, he was the stubborn one, but now someone else has changed.
Ban Qing touched his nose, not looking at Chu Jinzhou, but only at Jing Zhao, trying to break the awkward situation, "Brother Jing Zhao is back..."
"Yeah." Jing Zhao was a little embarrassed at this time, and smiled, "Third Young Master, the eldest young master said that he had something important to do, so he asked me to send the third young master back first."
"That's fine." Chu Jinzhou nodded, "I hope big brother comes back safely."
Now that Chu Jinnian is back, there will be more interactions between Qingzhuyuan and Zhuang Qingning in the future. At least I can get more food, right?
Chu Jinzhou thought of this and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "Let's go back to Qingzhu Garden."
"Yes." Jing Zhao and Ban Qing looked at each other, scratched their ears, and escorted Chu Jinzhou to Qingzhu Garden.
On Chu Jinnian's side, he rode at full speed to Zhuang Qingning's doorstep.
Chu Jinnian got off the horse and walked quickly to the door, but his raised hand paused.
At this time, it was probably just after lunch, and I didn't know if Zhuang Qingning would take a nap at this time, or if she was not at home. Just as Chu Jinnian was hesitating, the door was opened with a "clatter", revealing Zhuang Qingning's very pretty face.
When Zhuang Qingning opened the door and found Chu Jinnian standing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "I knew it was you."
"What do you mean?" Chu Jinnian smiled.
"I felt a little sleepy after lunch, so I went to bed for a nap. I don't know if I was dreaming or just half asleep. I vaguely heard the sound of horses neighing, and I thought it might be you who came back, so I came out to take a look." Zhuang Qingning replied.
The smile on Chu Jinnian's face became even more intense, and his gaze moved from Zhuang Qingning's smiling face, all the way down, and finally landed on the ground.
Zhuang Qingning was not wearing any shoes and was barefoot.
The tender white little feet were stepping on the green bricks on the ground. Because of the cold weather in late autumn, the feet were blown a little red by the cold wind.
Needless to say, she must have thought that it might be him who came back, so she rushed out to check and even forgot to put on her shoes.
But the neighing of the horse was not only heard when he came back.
Because Zhuang Qingning's workshops are doing a booming business, there are countless people coming to the workshops to transport goods every day. There are also many ox carts and horse carriages coming and going every day. This kind of sound is probably the most common sound.
Zhuang Qingning would probably go out with such joy every time, rush to the door barefoot, open it and take a look, but would always return disappointed.
Chu Jinnian suddenly felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife, and it hurt so much.
He reached out and pulled Zhuang Qingning's arm, holding him in his arms, then picked him up sideways and walked into the house.
"Hey, what are you doing..." Zhuang Qingning was shocked himself.
"Don't move."
Chu Jinnian's voice was low and very magnetic. Zhuang Qingning felt a little strange in her heart, so she just hugged Chu Jinnian's neck with peace of mind and was carried into the house by him.
After putting Zhuang Qingning on the bed and letting her sit down, Chu Jinnian found shoes and socks from the side and put them on for Zhuang Qingning.
The movements are gentle and the clothes are dressed neatly.
Seeing this, Zhuang Qingning smiled and reached out to gather the two strands of hair that were scattered on Chu Jinnian's forehead. "Your eyes look a little blue. Have you been traveling day and night without rest?"
"I'm not sleepy at all." Chu Jinnian stood up with a smile, poured two cups of tea from the table beside him, drank one cup for himself, and gave the other to Zhuang Qingning.
"Things in the capital have been almost settled, and everything that needed to be settled has been basically settled, so I hurried back as fast as I could."
Chu Jinnian said it lightly, as if he was mentioning that the weather was good today.
But the struggle for power is inherently fraught with dangers, and nothing is easy. During Chu Jinnian's time in the capital, he must have exhausted all his energy and thought.
But Chu Jinnian always reported good news but not bad news. Even in the letters he wrote to her, he only said what problems had been solved but never mentioned how they were solved.
Obviously, it was also to prevent her from worrying too much.
Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips and smiled, "You haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll go make you a bowl of noodles?"
After being reminded by Zhuang Qingning, Chu Jinnian also felt empty in his stomach and nodded, "Okay."
Then he stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
I finally came back, and I will be able to spend a long time with Zhuang Qingning in the future, so I naturally cannot let her be busy alone.
Zhuang Qingning nodded and went to the kitchen with Chu Jinnian.
The noodles are ready, add two slices of chopped green onions and two eggs, and a bowl of fragrant clear soup noodles is served on the table.
The eggs were tender yellow, the chopped green onions were emerald green, the noodles were snow-white, and the aroma was so fragrant that it penetrated into Chu Jinnian's nostrils. His appetite was aroused, and he finished the bowl of noodles in almost an instant.
There wasn't even a drop of soup left.
