Chapter 28 (1/2)

After returning to the house, Chu Yan specially called Chu Zhi for questioning.

”What did you have with your son before?”

”No.” Chu Zhi asked, ”why does brother ask?”

Chu Yan pondered and said, ”you are very warm to Han Xiaohou and have great respect for Fu Xiaohou, but you are cold to Gu Shizi. It happens that Gu Shizi has also been to the Begonia spring banquet. I guess you have any misunderstanding.”

”There is no misunderstanding.” Chu Zhi said faintly, ”some people are born to close their eyes, some people are born not to get along, that's all.”

Chu Yan was even more surprised. He still didn't believe Chu Zhi's words: ”Gu Shizi is the most gentle and polite. There is no one in the capital who doesn't like her. How can you...”

”Gu Shizi is really good, but others like it differently, which means I like it. In our rural words, radishes and vegetables have their own love.” Chu Zhi paused. ”If you really want to say anything, it's probably because of Princess Pingyang and Miss Zheng!”

So Chu Zhi truthfully told Chu Yan the two things that happened at the Begonia spring banquet.

”In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, I can only keep a distance from Gu Shizi.”

Chu Yan didn't expect such a thing to happen at the Begonia spring banquet, so he said, ”it's good for you to do this. It should be so.”

……

Two days later, the Begonia spring banquet dispersed, and all the women in the Chu house returned to the house.

On the day Chu Xi returned to the house, Chu Zhi was making contact with Chu Qing in the yard.

From a distance, Chu Xi came from the Jiuqu corridor with many servant girls.

Chu Zhi's sharp eyes saw a palace maid behind Chu Xi.

The sidewalk: ”why is there another palace man behind the sixth sister?”

Chu Qingshun looked at Chu Zhi's line of sight, but it was not. He said, ”this palace man...”

”Don't worry, sister. It must be a good thing.” Chu Zhi comforted.

”How do you know it's a good thing?”

”Look at the look of the sixth sister.”

Chu Qing looked again and saw Chu Xi laughing wantonly.

Chu Qing calmed down a little and sent a servant girl over: ”go and find out what happened to Miss Liu and what the situation of the palace man is.”

Chu Qing looked at Chu Zhi: ”since Xi'er has come back, the mother has naturally come back. Are you going to greet her?”

”Mother, wait until later.” Chu Zhi said, ”I'll go and say hello to my grandmother first.”

”That's just right. I'm going to grandma's too.” Chu Qing said. She put her complexion in the flower weaving basket and stretched out her hand. ”Five sisters, let's go!”

Chu Zhi put her hand in Chu Qing's hand, pursed her lips and said with a smile, ”let's go, elder sister.”

When they went, the old lady happened to go back to the house.

Seeing that the two people came in hand in hand, the old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile: ”I thought Qing'er would come back. I didn't expect you to play together long ago. You're still so good. It's the first time I've seen Qing'er take the initiative to hold the hand of my sister at home.”
