Chapter 85
Chapter 85
On the day of the full moon, Zhao Chen took a leave and had no need to get up early. He slept until dawn before he woke up. He turned over in a daze and was about to hug his wife and pinch him. Suddenly, he heard his daughter's soft cry coming from behind his wife. Zhao Chen stood up and looked over, and unexpectedly found that his daughter was awake and was playing with her own eyes. Her big eyes were like the washed black grapes, black and bright, and clear and moist.
"Cancan." Zhao Chen called softly, and after shouting several times, the little girl turned her head slightly and leaned towards him, looking at each other for a moment and grinned.
Zhao Chen was happy and carried Cancan's small mattress, small pillow, and quilt to him, and played with her side.
Aji was awakened by the movements made by the father and daughter, but she didn't get up. She just lay on her side and watched them play.
Zhao Chen was not interested enough for his daughter, but Cancan was tired of playing with him, so he turned to look for his mother. Aji knew that his daughter was hungry, so she carried the person to the inside of the kang. She turned to feed the child, and only half of her clothes were untied.
"Cancan grows so fast." Zhao Chen put his chin on her shoulder, looking openly, and didn't know where he was looking.
In broad daylight, Aji's face was hot by him, but he had no choice but to pretend that there was no such person by his side. However, Cancan looked up at Zhao Chen from time to time, and his vigilant little eyes seemed to be afraid that someone would rob her, and he would become more and more excited as he ate.
Zhao Chen was also thirsty, but he didn't have the courage to compete with his daughter.
He looked at it for a while and got up to put on his clothes.
I endured it for another half a month and waited until my wife was fully raised and he ate it.
He came in after washing up. Aji had already finished feeding him. She gave Cancan to him. She got up to clean up. When she was dressing up, she looked at her face in the mirror. She was thinner than when she was pregnant, and it seemed to be much fatter than before when she was pregnant. It was too long. Aji didn't remember it very clearly. When asked Madam Jiang Luyun and the others, they all praised her for her good recovery after giving birth, which was almost the same as before.
Aji didn't take it seriously. Looking back on Zhao Chen's muttering words in the bed at night, it was impossible that there were only two places where the flesh grew.
After cleaning up, Aji asked the wet nurse who had already prepared to carry her daughter and the family of three to Rongshou Hall. Although she fed her daughter herself, the wet nurse still had to invite her. In the future, someone would feed her daughter when she went out. When her daughter got older, she had to move to her yard. The wet nurse was the one who took care of her daily life. This is the rule of a wealthy family. Aji could not be abandoned, so she could only raise her daughter for a while.
Zhao Yunting did not go to the yamen today.
As soon as he saw them coming, he stood up from the chair, strode to the wet nurse despite the eyes of others, and carefully carried his granddaughter into his arms. Aji was a little nervous, Zhao Chen was even more nervous than her, and stood beside him and stared at him with good eyes. Zhao Yunting hugged Cancan and found that his son looked like he was facing a great enemy. He was not happy and said angrily: "I hugged you a lot when you were a child, why are you worried about!"
Zhao Chen snorted coldly.
Zhao Yunting ignored him and returned to his seat like a treasure, looking down at his granddaughter. Cancan just came in from outside and had a tight swaddle. Zhao Yunting held her head with one hand and untied the swaddle. When he met the girl inside, she looked white, tender, and watery and big eyes. He couldn't help but smile, "Cancan looks better and better..."
Opposite him, Zhao Qing's face did not change much, and a bitterness flashed in Zhao Hanfeng's eyes. Only when his father spoke with his elder brother, he would speak in a tone that seemed dissatisfied but was actually intimate. He had never seen him even more gentle in coaxing his little niece. Zhao Yi usually had Zhao Yunting smiled more and was more courageous. After calling Aji, he came to Zhao Yunting and watched the child with him.
The lady glanced at her son and her eyes fell on Aji: "Xuerou went to Wangzhuxuan twice these days. I heard that you can talk about it?" After saying that, she smiled meaningfully at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen had no expression on his face, Aji lowered his eyes, showing a bit of unspeakable loss, and the smile on his lips looked a little reluctant, "My cousin is bright and generous, I like to talk to my cousin very much."
The lady nodded with satisfaction: "After the meal, she will come to my place to pay my respects. Wait a minute, let her go to Zhuxuan with you. Today, there are so many people who are busy with you, so she can help you..."
"Okay, let's have someone to prepare a meal." Zhao Yunting raised his head with an ugly expression and said unhappy.
The grandma knew that her son loved the house and the Wuwu, and even the daughter-in-law chosen by Ning himself wanted to protect her. Her good mood just now suddenly flew away most of her. She scolded her son in her heart a thousand times, and couldn't help but stab him: "It's about to be the twelfth lunar month. Cheng'an's mother has lived in the village for so long. I think she knows that she is wrong. When are you planning to let Cheng'an pick her up?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Han looked at his father expectantly and nervously.
Zhao Chen held his newly received daughter and made a fuss as if he was not concerned about his own affairs. Aji sat obediently on one side and quietly watched their father and daughter.
Zhao Yunting put down the teacup and replied lightly: "I'll go to Zhuangzi to see this matter after the court has been relieved. Don't worry, my mother. As long as Qin sincerely regrets it, my son will take her back to fulfill his filial piety in front of you."
His cold and indifferent appearance is completely different from the man who used to coax his granddaughter with a smile on his face.
Zhao Yunting really couldn't understand why the once gentle and considerate mother became like this today. The mother and son seemed to have become enemies. The mother he liked didn't like, and the mother he disliked repeatedly mentioned, can't the family live a peaceful life?
He was unhappy, and the lady didn't feel much better. She felt regretful when she said it. Unfortunately, she couldn't take back what she said, so she had to change the topic.
After the meal, Zhao Yunting left coldly, and Zhao Chen stayed to talk to his wife with the wife.
"Madam, cousin, cousin, young master, are here to pay your respects." After replying, the little maid turned around and opened the curtain and invited people outside to come in.
Zeng Wenye took the lead in crossing the door, and Zeng Xuerou fell one step behind.
The lady smiled and waved to the two, but her eyes were secretly concerned about the Changsun couple.
When the door curtain was lifted, Zhao Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the door. Aji bit his lip and looked at him. He then withdrew his gaze and laughed quietly to his wife. After Zeng Xuerou came in, he did not take a look at him again. The lady saw it in her eyes, both complaining that Lin was jealous and happy, and she felt that Changsun was just around the corner. As a man, once he was moved, it would be useless no matter how strict the woman looked at her.
"Is your grandmother so good?" The lady asked Zeng Xuerou to sit on the embroidery stool in front of the kang and asked lovingly.
"She is so good. She has eaten more meals these two days than when she was at home. She is happy to see her grandmother." Zeng Xuerou smiled sweetly, peeked at Zhao Chen's eyes while talking, and then smiled at Aji. It's arrogance and sincerity that falls into the eyes of different people, which means different things.
The lady nodded and asked about Zeng Wenye’s daily life again.
Zeng Wenye answered humbly and politely, his eyes swept across Aji's face twice intentionally or unintentionally.
Aji lowered his eyes and didn't notice it, but Zhao Chen clenched his fists. Before Zeng Wenye finished speaking, he stood up and said: "Grandma, chat slowly, today's business is busy, let's go back first."
After saying that, he hugged his daughter from the wet nurse's arms and strode away. Aji hurriedly followed. The lady didn't care about blaming the two of them for being rude, so she quickly winked at Zeng Xuerou and asked her to follow her. Zeng Xuerou was reluctant to leave, so she followed her out pretending to be happy, leaving Zeng Wenye, who was a little guilty, continued to accompany the lady.
"Cousin-law, why does my cousin suddenly get angry?" After arriving at Wangzhuxuan, Zeng Xuerou asked intimately, holding Aji's arm, because Zhao Chen was not far away in front, and her voice was very low. Cousin-law was approachable, and that cousin really scared her.
Aji knew that she was afraid of Zhao Chen, so she shook her head in confusion.
At this time, the sun was already a little taller, and the morning light was scattered, and her increasingly delicate and tender face was covered with a light golden light.
Zeng Xuerou was stunned, looked at Aji's beautiful side face as beautiful as the Begonia of the New Year, and then recalled the scene in the room, and suddenly guessed a few points.
Zeng Wenye must be his eyes are not honest again.
As the grandson of Zeng’s family, Zeng Wenye did not disappoint the old lady’s attention. He was indeed very talented in studying. He was handsome and was also very popular among outsiders. Unfortunately, this person is lustful by nature. He has touched the maid who is slightly more beautiful in the second room. Unexpectedly, he dared to blaspheme his cousin’s wife today, but in front of Zhao Chen!
Some of them are despised, but more often they are gloating. The third uncle had no intention of career, and the second wife offended Zhao Chen. In the future, the relatives of Zhao and Zeng families could only be maintained by their siblings. As long as the younger brother worked hard enough, she would not touch Zhao Chen's rebellious scales, they would sooner or later have a chance to make a comeback.

After a heavy snow in the middle of the moon, it was always sunny, and today was no exception. Liu got off the carriage and couldn't help but say to his second daughter: "Look, we Cancan is lucky. Look at the sky blue, it makes people feel happy."
Lin Zhu looked up at the sky, and the sky was high and clear blue, which was indeed a good day.
Thinking of his little niece who had not seen him for many days, Lin Zhu smiled and urged, "Mom, let's go in quickly, I don't know how much Cancan has grown up again."
Liu thought tightly, followed Lin Xian and his son and quickened their pace. When they arrived in front of Wangzhuxuan, they could hear the conversations of the guests from afar. After all, the Zhao family was held this full moon gift, so they must have invited many guests. After Liu came to Beijing, he encountered such a grand scene for the first time. He couldn't help but feel nervous. He looked down at his body while walking, always worried that something was wrong to attract jokes.
"Don't be nervous, you look pretty in this outfit, no worse than those ladies at all." As he walked along the corridor to the backyard, Lin Zhu whispered to comfort his mother, but couldn't help looking at the main courtyard. Unfortunately, the rockery landscape covered her sight.
Mrs. Guo Baozhu has arrived. Guo Baozhu has been paying attention to the outside. When she saw the good sister coming, she immediately went up to meet her. After saluting Liu, she immediately blamed Lin Zhu: "Why are you here so late? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lin Zhu stared at the girl in front of her, and saw Guo Baozhu's expression as usual, and smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come so early, Cancan, let's go in and find her." She felt relieved.
The last time I met King Rui, Guo Zijing must have seen that she admired King Rui, so when I sent her home, she tactfully reminded her that King Rui already had a princess. It would be enough for her to embarrass Guo Zijing once. If Guo Zijing told Guo Baozhu about this, even if Guo Baozhu would not look down on her, Lin Zhu would not be able to get along with her as freely as before. Even now, she was afraid that Guo Zijing would say to her sister one day...
"Azhu is here, come and see Cancan." Seeing her sister, Aju walked over with her daughter in her arms.
Lin Zhu's eyes felt sore.
In front of her mother, she pretended to be nothing happened. Seeing the elder sister's gentle eyebrows, Lin Zhu felt aggrieved and ashamed. The elder sister kept reminding her to watch the courtesy when she went out and not to look at her husband too much. She always acted like a man in front of her. So when she came to the capital, she was moved by a prince who had only met him and didn't understand him at all. Then she lost the person and the elder sister's face.
She lowered her head guiltily, teased her cute niece who was grinning at her, and quickly held back her tears.
Today is the big day for my niece, and she can’t cause trouble for her elder sister.
Lin Zhu smiled and used the monkey picking peach wood carving she prepared to tease Cancan. Cancan didn't understand that monkeys were not monkeys, but she liked the big red peaches on the peach branches. She stared at the peaches and turned her hands, clenched them secretly. Aju kept staring at her daughter, but didn't notice that her sister was strange for the moment. She was about to put her daughter on the couch and let her coax her sister, but the maid in front suddenly said loudly.
Princess An is here.
Aji paused, frowned and looked over, and saw Princess An walking towards them in a dress and smiling.
However, when Zhao Chen discussed the list of treats with her, he never mentioned that he would post a post to Prince An's Mansion.hf();
