Chapter 78: Sensible (3rd update)
"This matter was originally a small matter and should not have bothered you, sir. However, in order not to arouse suspicion, Chunlan took out silver as a reward, but the girl who did not look wealthy did not accept it. I felt a little strange..."
There are people in the world who are not greedy for money, but it is surprising to see those who do not accept legitimate rewards.
This person is either so noble in character that he regards money as dirt, or he knows that the money cannot be accepted.
If it's the latter...
Since this matter concerns Chu Jinzhou, Ning Feng dared not be careless and asked, "Should I check this person?"
"Check it out and take a look at the other party's background." Chu Jinnian frowned and said, "If there is anything wrong, you can deal with it."
When Chu Jinnian thought that there were people around who were ready to take action against Chu Jinzhou, he became filled with murderous intent.
"Yes, I obey your command." Ning Feng bowed and said, "Young Master, you have traveled all night, and you must be tired now. Why don't you rest early? I have asked someone to prepare hot water, and you can rest after taking a bath."
"Yeah." Chu Jinnian nodded, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.
The whole person looks a little tired.
Ning Feng felt heartbroken when he saw this.
I think that only when my young master is here can he relax for a moment and dare to show his tiredness.
Ning Feng sighed inwardly and hurriedly asked people to prepare.
The next day, the morning light was dim.
“Brother!” Chu Jinzhou ran towards Chu Jinnian like a happy little bird, but stopped two or three steps away from him: “Brother, you still remember to come back? I thought you had long forgotten that you had a younger brother here.”
Her lips were pouted high, but her eyes were filled with joy that could not be concealed. It was obvious that she was happy in her heart but pretended to be angry.
"What a joke." Chu Jinnian walked forward and scratched his nose with his hand. "It's just that I remembered that you like to eat lotus cakes, so I went to the capital and bought lotus cakes from Hanfeng Tower, just to please you."
"Alas, who knew that some people would not appreciate it and are still complaining. It seems that my trip to the capital was really in vain."
"Really?" Chu Jinzhou squinted his eyes.
"When has my brother ever lied to you?" Chu Jinnian touched his nose.
I feel a little guilty saying this.
"I knew that big brother is the best!" Chu Jinzhou jumped happily and took Chu Jinnian's hand: "Come on, big brother, let's have breakfast together. Uncle Feng said that there is tofu meatball soup in the morning."
"Tofu meatball soup?" Chu Jinnian laughed: "Is it a new dish in the kitchen recently?"
Never heard of it since.
"This is a delicacy I discovered recently. I specially asked the kitchen to make it. I have to drink it every few days. It's so delicious. Big brother said he must try it." Chu Jinzhou said excitedly.
Discover?
Where has Chu Jinzhou been recently? Chu Jinnian looked at Ning Feng.
Ning Feng understood and whispered, "To answer your question, Mr. Zhou's mother celebrated her birthday some time ago, and the third young master came to celebrate. I have already informed you of this matter. However, when celebrating the birthday, Mr. Zhou said that according to family custom, the person who celebrates the birthday must drink a bowl of tofu meatball soup, so he brought a bowl back for the third young master."
"After drinking it, the Third Young Master thought it was delicious, so he asked the kitchen to make it the same way. However, the taste was still not as good as that at Mr. Zhou's home. Finally, I asked Mr. Zhou for some advice on how to make it, and then I followed Mr. Zhou's instructions and asked someone to buy tofu from a tofu stall in town, and then I made this soup."
"This soup is indeed delicious. It is said that the tofu stall is often hard to buy because of its delicious tofu. So this tofu soup is really not available every day. You can really try it, young master."
I see.
Chu Jinnian nodded slightly and smiled at Chu Jinzhou, "Then I want to taste it and see how the soup tastes."
"I'm sure big brother will like it very much." Chu Jinzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The two of them sat down in the flower hall, and the servants had already prepared breakfast.
Lotus cakes, tofu meatball soup, some delicious side dishes, and a variety of cakes and pastries.
"Brother." Chu Jinzhou personally scooped a bowl of soup for Chu Jinnian.
"You've become more sensible." Chu Jinnian took it with a smile and scooped a sip of the soup.
Chu Jinzhou then picked up the spoon and started eating breakfast.
The tofu meatball soup was sour with a hint of pepper, which was quite appetizing. The tofu meatballs were chewy on the outside and soft on the inside, and had a subtle fragrance that made Chu Jinnian nod slightly in appreciation: "Not bad."
"I said, big brother must think it tastes good." Chu Jinzhou's eyes smiled into crescents: "By the way, big brother, how many days can you stay here this time?"
"I have to listen to the teacher's lecture today. If I want to rest, I'm afraid it will be the day after tomorrow. Will my elder brother still be in the garden the day after tomorrow? Can you take me out to play?"
"Since you said so, it's possible even if I can't." Chu Jinnian put down the spoon in his hand and patted Chu Jinzhou's head. "It just so happens that I have some things to deal with in the next two days. Since you also want to study, let's each do our own things first. I'll take you to the lake to fish the day after tomorrow. How about that?"
"It's a deal." Chu Jinzhou nodded vigorously.
"It's a deal." Chu Jinnian also nodded, and then smiled.
"Brother, what are you laughing at?" Chu Jinzhou tilted his little head.
"I heard Ning Feng talking about you wanting to go hunting last night. Just now I heard you say you wanted to go out and play. I was thinking about how to persuade you to change hunting to fishing, but I never thought you would agree so readily."
“It’s really uncomfortable.”
Chu Jinnian said: "I'm not used to it."
"Hmph." Chu Jinzhou picked up the bowl, covering half of his face, and said unhappily, "Didn't you expect that big brother would never take me hunting? I thought that instead of having big brother persuade me to go fishing, it would be better to just agree, which would also make me look well-behaved and sensible."
"Jinzhou has become smarter." Chu Jinnian rubbed his little head again.
But, more importantly, I am sensible.
Because I knew he was busy, and I also knew that my body could not withstand such stress.
My younger brother will never be able to become a reckless person who can do whatever he wants without considering others. The reason is simply that he has lived in such a family since he was a child. Being in such a family, he knows how to learn to be sensible.
Chu Jinnian felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. —— "It seems that Aunt Liu is not coming today." Zhuang Qingsui looked at the empty space beside him and frowned: "I don't know if she is sick."
"You didn't look very energetic yesterday. I guess you are very tired. You should rest at home today." Zhuang Qingning said, "Don't worry too much. Maybe you will be better tomorrow."
