Chapter 516: Hug from Uncle!
Mrs. Zhou was standing next to them, and although she didn't show it on her face, she felt a little disappointed. Nanbao had praised her before, but when they first met, she started to call her a wicked mother-in-law.
Everyone laughed at how cute Nanbao was. Jiang Lianzhu couldn't bear it anymore and tried to get her back, but she failed.
Little Tuanzi ran to Madam Zhou again, holding the gold ingot, and bowed to her. "Nanbao also pays his respects to you. Are you feeling better? My eldest brother told me to pay my respects to you."
Mrs. Zhou was a little surprised, and her feeling of loss inexplicably increased.
"Much better. Thank you, Nanbao, and thank you, your brother, Prince Xiaoxiang."
"That's good! I wish you good health and a long life, Grandma."
Her little mouth was as white as if covered with honey. Mrs. Zhou couldn't resist it and rewarded her daughter with a box of gold leaves!
Nanbao accepted it happily.
The atmosphere was originally a bit stiff, but after Nanbao mixed it up, it became much lighter and more harmonious.
Liao Jiu formally introduced Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, you've met Jiang several times before, so I won't introduce you. All the previous misunderstandings are over. We're here today to sincerely welcome you."
Everyone looked at Mrs. Zhou.
In particular, Duke Zhou even stopped to drink tea, which was the first step towards reconciliation between the two sides.
It is also a crucial step.
The long-standing feud has made the relationship too strained.
Liao Jiulai took the first step, which was a courtesy for a junior, and Duke Zhou was very satisfied.
This child had previously gone so far as to stab him in the back, severing his mother-son relationship with Madam Zhou. At that time, Duke Zhou was somewhat disappointed in Liao Jiu. Regardless, the mother-son bond was thicker than blood, so how could he sever the bond? He couldn't do this for any reason! Where would this leave the Zhou family?
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Liao Jiu is willing to bow his head first. Filial piety still exists.
As long as no one objects to him being with Jiang, he will still be an impeccable grandson and son, and he respects Mrs. Zhou and the Zhou family.
In fact, before Liao Jiu arrived, Duke Zhou had already made an agreement with Madam Zhou. As long as the children came, giving her this face was a gesture of goodwill. If the children were too shy to back down, then Duke Zhou would come forward and take the lead in negotiating a peace agreement, asking Madam Zhou to cooperate with him, giving Liao Jiu a way out, and showing Jiang Lianzhu a good face...
Mrs. Zhou agreed to everything.
Now that Liao Jiu has taken the initiative to make peace, things will be much easier. They, as elders, won't have to worry about it, and it also gives them enough face.
Mrs. Zhou looked awkward, but she felt relieved in her heart. She maintained her composure and nodded.
It means that he agrees with what Liao Jiu said.
Jiang Lianzhu then picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea, and respectfully handed it to Mrs. Zhou, "I, your daughter-in-law, offer you another cup of tea. I wish you good health and continuous blessings."
The atmosphere in the room was solemn and no one dared to speak.
At this time, no one else can interrupt and can only see how Mrs. Zhou performs.
After all, it had been like that before...
Anyway, Duke Zhou was more satisfied with Jiang Lianzhu, and this Jiang had done what a younger generation should do.
They are all generous and open-minded people, and it is easy to get along with them.
How could a young wife who holds a grudge be so easy to talk to?
Mrs. Zhou pondered for a moment, but not for too long, and took the cup of tea.
"Since you're already married, I won't say much. So many people are waiting for you today..."
Just then, Duke Zhou coughed, and Madam Zhou stopped talking. "Anyway, you guys take care of yourselves."
He took a sip of tea and put it down.
The wet nurse next to her came forward with a tray that had been prepared long ago and covered with red satin, without any signal from Mrs. Zhou.
"Young Madam, this is a welcome gift prepared by our Madam. Please accept it."
The wet nurse lifted the red satin, revealing an old jade bracelet inside.
It is blue-green in color, simple and ancient, and looks very old.
The color looked very dark, but the gloss was excellent, with a sparkling light like broken diamonds. Jiang Lianzhu looked at it and it seemed to be flowing faintly.
Everyone looked surprised when they saw this ancient jade bracelet.
Even Liao Jiu seemed a little surprised.
Jiang Lianzhu was puzzled and thought, could it be that it is particularly valuable?
Madam Zhou said slowly, "This was left by the elders of the Qingning Marquisate. It was passed down to me by the old marquis' wife, and now I'm passing it down to you. I only have one son, Liao Jiu. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Everyone's here, and it's getting late. Let's eat."
Jiang Lianzhu understood instantly.
It turned out to be an heirloom-level item.
With a slightly flattered look on his face, he said, "Thank you for your kindness, mother."
Received it.
Hehe, you can never have too many good treasures, especially heirlooms.
This ancient jade bracelet looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
What Madam Zhou said was not very pleasant to the ears, but she gave her the heirloom of the Qingning Marquisate. She was a typical person who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Zhou Gong laughed heartily, "Alright, today we're a family, no need to be polite. Let's go, let's go eat."
Whoosh, stand up and go.
The young man who had been standing next to Zhou Gong quickly supported him and said, "Grandfather, slow down."
This young man was handsome and well-mannered. Although he never had a chance to speak, he always had a smile on his face. He was very friendly and had gentle manners.
This is Liao Jiu’s cousin, Zhou Yuan.
Liao Jiu introduced Zhou Yuan to Jiang Lianzhu again. Just now he was meeting an elder, but now he was meeting a peer, so there was no need to be so particular.
Jiang Lianzhu nodded and greeted, "Hello, Zhou Yuan."
The refined young man smiled and said, "Hello, cousin. I've heard a lot about your name."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled knowingly.
Nanbao was more interested in the handsome little brother. She looked at Zhou Yuan curiously from Liao Jiu, "Dad, what should I call him?"
Liao Jiu teased her, "Think about it yourself. No one taught you just now. You called it correctly, didn't you?"
"Uncle! A learned uncle!" Nan Baoyuan tilted her head.
Liao Jiu immediately praised, "Yes, little Nanbao is really smart."
Zhou Yuan blushed and said hurriedly, "Uncle is my cousin, but I can't call him an educated uncle. You're too kind, Nanbao."
Nanbao stretched out her hands towards him, "Uncle, give me a hug!"
Zhou Yuan was surprised and flattered. He clumsily took the baby girl from Liao Jiu's arms, and the baby girl giggled.
Butler Liao beside him joked, "I guess this old servant wants to hold her, but you won't let him. Only the learned young master can hold her!"
Nanbao was not embarrassed at all, "Of course, my educated cousin is good-looking!"
Everyone laughed.
As they were talking, the group went to the dining room.
Walking in the hallway, Zhou Gong was beside Liao Jiu and his wife, feeling happy and saying, "Oh, the weather is really nice today. By the way, Jiang, you opened a clinic, how is business?"
Jiang Lianzhu replied, "It's okay. I only check twenty numbers a day. I have to consider my health and family situation. My three children are still young, and my husband needs to take care of his health. I don't have that much energy. I just need to be able to support the family."
