Chapter 587 The family is happy.
The flowers are still the same flowers, and the courtyard is still the same courtyard, but Chuchu felt as if years had passed as she walked in.
Obviously, there are no pink peach blossoms and green willows like in the south of the Yangtze River, and no gurgling streams, but because there is the scent of beloved relatives here, I feel inexplicably comfortable, and even the dead branches and fallen leaves have a sense of familiarity.
That feeling was even more amazing than the first time she went to Jiangnan. It turned out that home is where the family is.
After getting off the sedan chair and helping her grandmother into Fushou Garden, Chuchu kowtowed to her grandmother and parents according to the rules. The family sat together and were fed with bird's nests, abalone and shark's fins which were served one after another.
I was hugged by my grandmother and we chatted for another half an hour. We talked about trivial matters, but she still felt unsatisfied.
But I can't bear to see the mistress continue to hold on. She is old, and it would be better for her to have a normal schedule.
After serving her a few sips of scented tea mixed with spiritual spring water, she forced Aunt Biyu to force her to go in and rest, and then she took her mother back to Chu Garden.
"Why didn't I see my sister?" Chuchu insisted on pulling her mother along to go with her. The mother-daughter bond was the most inseparable.
Knowing that the mother and daughter must have a lot of sweet things to say, the twin brothers, after receiving their father's signal, tactfully did not follow them and went aside first.
How could Bao Bao sit there for so long? He had disappeared long ago. He must have followed Zishu to join in the fun in Chu Garden. Everything over there needed to be unloaded and put away, and the servants had a lot of things to do. Could he have been making things worse?
"Why is my sister not here?" It was not until she entered her own yard that Chu Chu noticed that she had not seen Juanjuan on the way back.
"She is still the same. After you left, Hongying came back to the palace. Seeing that everyone had lost interest, mother took the opportunity to disband the female school. Only the female teacher continued to teach Juanjuan some music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sometimes Wenya would come along.
Juanjuan comes over every day to study and pay her respects, and Yaya likes to stick with her, but she has been spending a long time at grandma's place. Knowing that you were coming back today, she refused to sleep here one night waiting for you.
Instead, she said: The house will be lively when my younger sister comes back, so let my younger sister stay with my parents for a few days, and she will come to see my younger sister later.
I'm afraid she'll make us uncomfortable around us. This child is good in every way, except that she's too worried and cares too much about other people's feelings.
The more she behaves like this, the more her mother worries that she will have a hard time after getting married, and that she might be too cautious and put herself in a difficult position. "
When her mother said this, she looked a little depressed. Chuchu didn't know how to answer. Since she met Juanjuan, her personality was not much different from now. It was just that she was still young when they first met, but she didn't seem to be more lively than she is now.
But she remembered the first time Juanjuan went to their home, Chu Pavilion in the east of the city, she acted like a spoiled child to her mother after getting off the horse, and was a bit willful, but she never acted like that again afterwards. Because of Chuchu's return, there was still some estrangement between her and her mother who raised her since she was a child. The family affection was still there, but there was a difference in closeness.
Experiences can really change a person's personality, but maturity and stability are not necessarily bad things. After all, she was only a few years old at the time, and her status suddenly fell from heaven to earth. The blow she suffered was too great. Fortunately, she still had a calm personality and did not sink or become bad because of this.
Although everyone can be tolerant of her, there will always be some knots in their hearts, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Li Yan stayed in Chuchu's room and didn't want to leave. Chuchu didn't let her go either. She asked her mother to help her take a hot bath and wash her messy hair.
After getting dressed, she sat on the edge of the bed and asked her mother to help her wring out her hair. She felt that giving her mother something to do would make her feel more at ease.
Li Yan couldn't help but have tears in her eyes again. She had been worried these past few days, fearing that her daughter would come back and be distracted from her again. Unexpectedly, Chuchu was still the same as before after coming back. Now, in addition to being intimate with her, she was even more coquettish and dependent on her. At least the little cotton-padded jacket had not leaked after being thrown away for several years.
"A daughter is better?" Duke Shun's teasing voice came from the door.
"Daddy can't wait any longer. He said he'd better come in and see if sister is ready. Then we can go over to have dinner together later."
The younger brother rushed in first, followed by the older brother with a smile. Yan Yuge also explained, "We specially asked Mr. Lanchuan for leave today. We have to go to school tomorrow, so we have to take a few more glances at our sister."
It looked as if Chuchu didn't want him to see it, and in the end, Chuchu glared at him with disgust.
Yan Yuge couldn't help but complain in his heart: Yes, she is still my biological sister, even the look of disdain has not changed.
Chuchu said to them again: "That's good. Fourth uncle and fourth aunt have given quite a few gifts to my grandparents. You can send them over tomorrow. By the way, tell Mr. Lanchuan and my grandmother that I will take a two-day break before visiting them."
Although Yan Yuge was very happy, he still muttered: "This will save you a lot of trouble. I don't know how many times the teacher has nagged you. He said he would test you when he goes there!"
Qiuli and Bayue saw them come in and quickly moved a few stools. Then they tactfully went out and closed the door, leaving the space for the family. From time to time, the sound of little Baobao playing could be heard outside the yard. It must be Zishu who was serving him and playing with him.
"I brought gifts for my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and sister and grandmother. I'll pack them up and send them over later."
When I just came back, the place was in a mess. I didn’t know where my things were before they were cleaned up. I also didn’t know if the servants had cleaned up yet.
Without waiting for her brothers to speak, Chuchu said coquettishly to her father who had already approached her, "Daddy is so cruel. I don't believe that the emperor will keep you under arrest every day, and he won't find a chance to visit me in Xiangzhou County. You are obviously not that busy. My two brothers love me better than my mother. If I sneak out with my bag to play and come back, it should make Daddy anxious."
"You kid, you're right to rebel. You're naughty but now you blame us."
When her father tapped her forehead, Chuchu pretended to cry, "Ouch! It hurts!"
Li Yan slapped Duke Shun's hand hard and said, "Be gentle."
Duke Shun was cheerful and not angry, and wanted to grab the job directly: "Chu Chu, Daddy is here."
She wanted to snatch the cloth from Li Yan's hand, but Li Yan slapped her again: "What can you do? You don't even help me to twist it. Go away."
Duke Shun was very thick-skinned, and continued to pull the cloth shamelessly: "I'll wipe it, you go help Chuchu choose jewelry, and help Chuchu dress up beautifully today."
Then she turned to Chuchu and complained: "Chuchu, you don't know, your mother has made a lot of jewelry for you in the past few years. Apart from the ones sent to Xiangzhou County, I'm afraid they are all full of boxes. These days, she has also made more than a dozen sets of clothes, just waiting for you to come back and wear them!"
