Chapter 537 Come Back Sooner
"The rest."
Chu Jinnian pointed out the lanterns one by one for Chu Jinzhou to see, and said according to the exquisiteness of the lanterns, from low to high, "This one is for Mingli, this one is for Qingsui, and this big one is for your sister Ning."
There really is someone more important than his younger brother!
Mistake, Mistake...
Chu Jinzhou felt disappointed that Chu Jinnian wanted to give the better-looking lantern to someone else and not give it to him. But after hearing Chu Jinnian's explanation, he felt relieved all of a sudden.
There is nothing wrong with giving the most beautiful lantern to Zhuang Qingning, and it is also reasonable that the other two were given to Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli respectively.
After all, he is the oldest among the three of them. How can it be reasonable for an older brother to snatch things from his younger siblings?
Not to mention that it was Chu Jinnian who divided it this way, even if he was the one who divided it, it would be the same.
Chu Jinzhou immediately nodded with great interest, "So, big brother, are you going to deliver the lanterns now? I'll go with you?"
"It just so happens that I delivered the lantern today. I'm waiting for tomorrow. Let's go to the temple fair together with this lantern and enjoy the lanterns."
Although, the lantern he held was a little ugly...
But it was made by Chu Jinnian himself, and he likes it!
"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to enjoy the lanterns tomorrow. I received a letter from the capital last night saying that the Fourth Prince has some matters to deal with. I have to return to the capital as soon as possible to deal with them. I will leave in the afternoon."
Chu Jinnian explained, "That's why I made these lanterns and sent them to your sister Ning and the others as an apology."
"So..." Chu Jinzhou was suddenly a little disappointed.
But over the years, Chu Jinzhou had already gotten used to Chu Jinnian not being around him all the time, and he also understood that Chu Jinnian was busy all day and was really tired, so he touched his nose and said, "It's okay, it's not just this year's Lantern Festival, we can spend it together again when we have the chance in the future."
"Let's hurry up and give lanterns to Sister Ning and the others."
Chu Jinzhou pulled Chu Jinnian and walked out.
Chu Jinnian frowned.
Who said I was going to take you with me? You really have to stick with me all day long, and there is no time to rest...
Chu Jinnian was full of disgust, but seeing the attitude, he knew that he couldn't get rid of the sticky candy, so he had to take him with him. After a simple breakfast, he went to Zhuang Qingning's house.
Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli were waiting for Chu Jinzhou at home. When they saw Chu Jinnian brought them lanterns, they happily took them, thanked him, and went out to play together.
"I made this myself and give it to Miss Zhuang." Chu Jinnian gave the last big round lantern to Zhuang Qingning.
"Thank you, Lord Chu." Zhuang Qingning thanked him, took the lantern and looked at it carefully.
It must be said that Chu Jinnian's lantern was made quite well, except for the corners where the bamboo strips had stretched out unwillingly, overall, it really looked like a lantern!
"We had originally agreed to go to the county town together to enjoy the lanterns and visit the temple fair on the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately, I received a letter from the capital saying that I had to go back to deal with some matters, and I had to leave in the afternoon. Therefore, I cannot enjoy the lanterns with Miss Zhuang. I came here specially to apologize to Miss Zhuang and to say goodbye to her." Chu Jinnian said softly.
"It happened suddenly, and Lord Chu couldn't have predicted it. It's certainly not Lord Chu's fault." Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Lord Chu will probably be in the capital for several months."
During this period of time, Zhuang Qingning had become accustomed to Chu Jinnian coming to help her with housework every day. If he suddenly returned to Beijing, she would not be able to help her sweep the floor, do housework, and cut vegetables often, and she suddenly felt quite uncomfortable.
"Yes." Chu Jinnian nodded, "Two to three months at the fastest, half a year at the slowest."
If Chu Yunzhao could avoid the banditry in Lu, it would be great. But if he really couldn't avoid it and had to go, then for Chu Yunzhao's safety, he had to go with him.
No matter what, we must not make the same mistake again.
Fortunately, it didn’t take very long.
Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly, "Then Master Chu should come back soon."
Come back earlier, help her cut vegetables and sweep the yard earlier, and see this handsome face earlier. I feel comfortable just thinking about it.
Come back earlier?
Chu Jinnian was stunned at first, and then he felt a hint of warmth rising in his heart. The warmth surged to his forehead and exploded in his brain.
Even for a moment, a quiet and beautiful scene of a woman waiting for her lover to return emerged in his mind.
In this case, this kind of situation, I feel like it should only happen between husband and wife.
But now it came out from Zhuang Qingning's mouth...
A smile spread across Chu Jinnian's mouth, quickly covering his entire face. He nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will."
Seeing the handsome man's dazzling smile, Zhuang Qingning couldn't help but smile and added some hot tea to the cup next to Chu Jinnian.
When the sun was high in the sky, Chu Jinnian and Chu Jinzhou had lunch together at Zhuang Qingning's home.
Fried rice with egg, twice-cooked pork, cabbage with sesame sauce, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, roasted bean curd, and a bowl of boiled white radish soup are home-cooked dishes that are comfortable to eat and full of flavor.
Jing Zhao had already packed his things and was waiting outside. Chu Jinnian didn't stay for long and just said goodbye and left.
Chu Jinzhou stayed here until the sun set before going home. Before leaving, he made an appointment with Zhuang Qingning and others to go to the county town to play on the Lantern Festival and see the lanterns at night.
Since Chu Jinnian is not at home, he is the man of Qingzhuyuan, and he has to take care of many things.
The Lantern Festival has arrived, and there are many things that need to be done. Moreover, after a whole year, many daily necessities and food are running out at home. Zhuang Qingning also wants to go to the county town to purchase some things.
The date for the entrance examination of the Girls' College has been announced, and it will be on February 26th. During this period of time, Zhuang Qingsui will have to study hard. I am afraid that she will not have much time to play until the entrance examination.
Taking advantage of this time, she can also have some fun and relax.
Considering these things, Zhuang Qingning agreed to go to the county town for a stroll during the Lantern Festival.
When Chu Jinzhou saw that Zhuang Qingning agreed, he went home happily.
The next morning, before Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui had even finished their breakfast, Chu Jinzhou had already arrived, and Fan Wenxuan was with him.
The smile on Fan Wenxuan's face was so bright that his beard couldn't help but curl up.
He had been stuck in Qingzhu Garden all day long during this period of time. He finally waited for Chu Jinnian to leave and could go out for some fresh air. Naturally, he was happy.
Except for visiting Fan Wenxuan on New Year's Day, Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli had not seen him for more than ten days. They were quite excited to go to the county town with Fan Wenxuan.
A carriage, full of laughter and joy, was heading towards the county town.
