Chapter 635 Are You Afraid?
It turns out that my wife’s cooking skills are the best.
When he was in the capital, although he was dressed in fine clothes and ate delicious food every day and the food was different every day, to Chu Jinnian, it was tasteless and he often couldn't swallow it.
Eating a bowl of clear soup noodles here is so delicious that it is hard to describe.
"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Zhuang Qingning asked, holding his chin.
"It will take at least a year." Chu Jinnian said with a smile, and put the bowl and chopsticks he had just eaten in the basin. He washed them himself, wiped the water on them with a dish towel, and placed them on the bowl and plate rack next to him.
"So long?" Zhuang Qingning was a little surprised.
"Do you think the time is too long? I think the time is a bit short. I'm thinking of asking the emperor to give me more time off after the wedding." Chu Jinnian said with a smile.
"I don't think it's too long, I just think you've been busy in the capital, and the Ministry of Justice has a lot of things to do. It's really rare that the emperor is willing to give you such a long vacation."
"Because I asked the Queen Mother and the Emperor to grant me a marriage, and I also asked for a year's leave to prepare for the wedding."
Chu Jinnian replied, "Earlier, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were both worried that I would never marry. Now that I am willing to get married, they are overjoyed and don't care about anything else."
"The decree granting the marriage is on the way. It should arrive in a while. The wedding date will be in August next year, when the sweet osmanthus will be fragrant. You will definitely like it."
Zhuang Qingning really likes osmanthus very much.
The fragrance of osmanthus is subtle but rich, and it does not compete with other flowers for beauty. The most important thing is that it can be made into many kinds of food, especially the osmanthus cake that Zhuang Qingning himself likes very much.
It is indeed a great time to get married.
Zhuang Qingning looked at Chu Jinnian and smiled, "I'll be back for a long time this time. Someone will really do the work in this yard from now on."
"Of course." Chu Jinnian straightened his body, "Just follow Miss Zhuang's orders."
He can do everything from sweeping the yard to cooking and washing clothes.
The smile on Zhuang Qingning's face deepened a little, and she poured Chu Jinnian another glass of the freshly brewed pear water.
Everyone in Qingzhu Garden was very happy when Chu Jinnian came back.
After all, as a servant, if you can't even see your master for a long time, you will feel very insignificant.
However, everyone soon discovered that Chu Jinnian had come back, but it seemed like he had not come back again.
He left in a hurry before dawn and didn't even have breakfast in Qingzhu Garden. In the evening, when it was completely dark, he had dinner at Zhuang Qingning's house before going back.
Because of this, recently in Qingzhu Garden, the greetings between servants have become words like "Have you met the eldest young master today?"
This is the case between the servants, and even between Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou, it has been the same recently.
At first, the two of them felt a little annoyed, thinking that Chu Jinnian was too obsessed with beauty and forgot about his brother. But later, when they woke up in the morning from time to time, they could see the various snacks that Chu Jinnian brought back from Zhuang Qingning, and their annoyance was immediately swept away.
If I had never come back, I would not have been able to eat these cakes. The cakes I can eat now are much better than before.
What's more, the terms "brother and younger brother" are all empty words. Sooner or later, they will separate because of beauty. The pastries in front of you are more practical.
However, Fan Wenxuan still frowned, especially when he looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand today, his brows were knitted even tighter, and he tilted his head to Chu Jinzhou and said, "Hey, do you think that the eldest master couldn't eat this sweet-scented osmanthus cake anymore, so he brought it back to us?"
"Why do I feel that if the young master can finish this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he will definitely not leave any for us?"
"Sir." Chu Jinzhou ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand and picked up another piece. "Sir, you once taught me that you can't investigate too clearly about many things. Otherwise, you will be unhappy."
"So I think you shouldn't ask too much about this matter, otherwise you might not be happy."
Look at him, he's so open-minded that he doesn't care about this at all.
"Well, that makes some sense." Fan Wenxuan nodded.
Anyway, as long as there is something to eat, it’s good. As for where it comes from, that is not within his consideration.
As for Chu Jinnian, he got up early and went to bed late, following Zhuang Qingning to various workshops and shops every day to do what he could.
For example, running errands, passing messages, helping with moving things, etc.
Everyone was extremely curious when they saw that Zhuang Qingning, who usually kept to himself, suddenly had a young talent like Chu Jinnian by his side.
The timid ones were whispering below, secretly discussing who this person was to Zhuang Qingning.
The brave ones directly asked Zhuang Qingning who Chu Jinnian was.
"My fiancé, we are going to get married next year. Since you see how busy and hard-working I am every day, you come over to help me." Zhuang Qingning did not hide anything and introduced Chu Jinnian's identity openly.
When everyone heard this reply, they all congratulated him.
"Don't mention it, this young man looks really good, and he is a perfect match for Miss Ning. It makes me feel comfortable just looking at him."
"Of course, they say that good-looking people can make a living. When I look at the two of them, I feel like I don't need to eat. I feel so happy just looking at them."
"This young man is so handsome, but I don't know what his family background is. Is he worthy of Miss Ning? Our Miss Ning is a county lady, who was personally conferred by the emperor. She is so noble."
"Her aunt, don't worry. I heard that this is Lord Chu. Not only is he a high-ranking official in the capital, he is also the emperor's nephew and the prince's son. He will inherit the prince's throne in the future."
"My Lord, that's more like it. He is worthy of Miss Ning and it doesn't disgrace Miss Ning's abilities."
"Yes, I also heard that this Lord Chu usually does all kinds of work when he comes to Miss Ning's house. Yesterday, I saw him helping to chop firewood. He doesn't act like an adult at all."
"He is a caring person, that's good enough, we can rest assured..."
People said things like this almost every day, so naturally they reached Chu Jinnian's ears.
Chu Jinnian laughed when he heard this, "It looks like I've passed this test?"
"Just barely." Zhuang Qingning smiled, "But you can see that although my parents passed away long ago, these people in the village are all my maternal family. If you come and bully me in the future, I'm afraid no one will let it go."
"How about it, are you scared?"
The smile on Chu Jinnian's face deepened.
Why would he be afraid? I feel like a chicken bone got stuck in my throat by accident. Now I feel a foreign body in my throat. I am going to the emergency room. ┭┮﹏┭┮
