Chapter 424 Something is wrong
After Chu Jingqi arrived, she washed herself in Xia Zihan's room without hesitation and changed into the clothes given by Ma Bao.
He actually smelled good, but Xia Zihan felt sticky and uncomfortable.
"Okay, stop making trouble, you haven't gone to pay your respects to my grandmother, aunt, and the others." Xia Zihan pushed him away and stood up, "After riding in the carriage for so many days, and another busy day, I feel sticky and uncomfortable. , you go to the side room and wait, I will also wash and change clothes, and then I will accompany you to meet your grandmother and aunt.”
Then he called the maid outside to come in, ordered some hot water to come in, and pushed Chu Jingqi out.
When Xia Zihan finished washing and went to Zeng's house with Chu Jingqi, Zeng, Zhuo, Zeng Jing, Zeng Ning, and the twins were all there.
Chu Jingqi came in, first greeted Mrs. Zeng, and then said hello to Mrs. Zhuo.
Zhuo's eyes were red, and she was obviously very excited, but she stared at him and said inhumanly, "You brat, I came to see your wife as soon as I came. I didn't know that I came to pay my respects to my grandmother and mother first. My grandmother and I were waiting. My hair is almost turning white." He sighed, "Hey. , When the son grows up, he forgets his mother after marrying a wife. Oh, no, this wife has not even entered the house yet, and she forgets her mother. Oh, my life is miserable. From now on, Ayu, don’t follow this stinky boy. "Xue, your father-in-law and I are just waiting for you to be filial."
I haven’t forgotten to make fun of Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan's pink face flushed with embarrassment. After giving Chu Jingqi a fierce look, she said coyly, "You are my aunt, of course I must honor you."
Pretending not to hear Zhuo's joke.
Mrs. Zhuo covered her mouth and smiled, looking at the two young men with admiration.
Chu Jingqi was thick-skinned and had a nonchalant expression. Xia Zihan was a girl after all, and her face was thinner than him. Her cheeks turned red when Zhuo looked at her, and she was almost ashamed of herself.
Zeng Jing stood up and wanted to salute Chu Jingqi and say hello, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Zeng Ning had not moved, so she turned around and saw Zeng Ning's pretty face as red as the sunset, staring at Chu Jingqi with burning eyes.
Zeng Jing was startled and hurriedly pulled her.
Zeng Ning came back to her senses. Thinking of her gaffe, her face turned red with embarrassment. She hurriedly lowered her head and presented gifts to Chu Jingqi with Zeng Jing.
But when it came to the title, Zeng Jing hesitated. Should she call her cousin-in-law? Or call him the eldest young master of the Chu family?
Zeng Ning had already called Young Master Chu, so Zeng Jing had no choice but to follow.
Mrs. Zeng glanced at Zeng Ning, who had a strange look on her face. Her brows darkened for a moment, and she introduced to Chu Jingqi, "These are the two little cousins of the Zeng family. They are now living in Chu House. Your cousin of the Zeng family passed the Jinshi exam last year. Went to work in Huaicheng.”
Chu Jingqi only responded with a cold expression, indifferent and distant, and did not even look at the Zeng family cousins.
He had felt a burning gaze staring at him before, and this kind of gaze was not unfamiliar to him at all, because whenever a woman saw his face, she would emit the kind of disgusting look that made him sick. look.
It's like a hungry wolf seeing bones.
Makes him sick.
Mrs. Zeng seemed to be very satisfied with his attitude, and her voice rose a little. However, the eyes she looked at Zeng Ning were no longer as kind as before, "You two have been tired for a long day. Go down and rest early. Tomorrow morning, There is no need to come and say hello.”
Zeng Jing was blessed and resigned.
Zeng Ning glanced at Chu Jingqi reluctantly, and saw that his expression was cold. He didn't even look at her, and was pulled out by Zeng Jing with a sad and dejected look on his face.
Not even polite.
As soon as they walked out, Mrs. Zeng snorted in displeasure. Mrs. Zhuo's eyes flashed and she wanted to speak, but when she saw her three sons and Xia Zihan were there, she choked back her words.
The twins ran towards Chu Jingqi, each holding one of his thighs, looking at him with bright eyes, and asked in unison, "Are you my eldest brother?"
Two identical faces looked at him excitedly with the same little eyes, both with a look of fawning on their faces. In just that moment, a strange feeling hit Chu Jingqi's heart.
That feeling is not annoying.
It was the first time that Chu Jingqi enjoyed the feeling of being called a brother's blood dissolving in water.
Chu Jingqi's cold expression softened and said, "Well, I'm your eldest brother." Then he glanced at the paws of the two brats, "You can let go of my thigh and ask questions again."
It was rare that the second child, who had always been cold and indifferent, liked Chu Jingqi. He rarely showed a childish expression on his face and asked curiously, "Brother, why don't you look like us, but you are so imposing?" , a bit like me.”
"What does it look like to you? You are obviously like my elder brother."
The third child bulged his eyes, curled his lips and said, hugging Chu Jingqi's thigh tightly, "Brother, I am the third child. Has my sister-in-law told you about us? We miss you and dad very much. By the way, where is dad, what's wrong? I haven’t seen dad. Won’t dad come to see us?”
The crisp child's voice was very loud, tinkling like jade beads falling into a jade basin. Chu Jingqi's expression softened a little, "Dad is accompanying the envoys of other countries in the palace. He will not come back until the dinner in the palace is over." .”
In the evening, the palace had to hold a banquet for the envoys. He was a young general and had a good relationship with the emperor, so he found an excuse to come back. However, his father was a marshal and had to stay in the palace to accompany the distinguished guests. His father will not come back until the dinner is over.
"When will you be back tonight? Can I wait for dad to come back?" Lao San asked excitedly.
Since he and his second child turned three years old, he and his second child have to go to bed on time at nine o'clock every night. They have to practice martial arts and read Chinese characters early in the morning. If they go to bed late, they will not be able to get up in the morning.
My mother said that my eldest brother also started practicing Kung Fu at the age of three.
If they want to be a general like their elder brother, then they have to start practicing kung fu at the age of three like their elder brother.
Master Qi said that lazy children are worthless children, and they don’t want to be worthless when they grow up.
Chu Jingqi shook his head, "It depends on when the palace banquet ends."
Knowing that the twins had not seen their father since they were born and were very anxious to see him, he rubbed the twins' heads, pulled them, and said with a smile, "You can see each other tomorrow morning at most."
< br>
"It has to be tomorrow morning. I thought I would be able to see dad today." The third child looked disappointed. The second child looked at him with contempt and said in a cold voice, "I have been waiting for so many years and there is still so little to do. One day.”
"But, I just feel like I can see my father. Second brother, don't you want to?"
The second child's ears were slightly red, and he looked away uncomfortably.
He wouldn't say he misses his father. He is a man, and he is not a baby who can't live without his parents. Only the idiot, the third child, would complain loudly about missing his father.
Mrs. Zhuo felt sorry for her two little sons, and waved them over, saying, "When your father comes back in the evening, I will ask the maid to wake you up."
