PFC Chapter 288 Brother, she is very happy
Chapter 288 Brother, she is very happy
After all, my parents are both extremely good looking, so my younger brother's appearance must not be too bad.
But his silly brother didn't know, and he couldn't let his father say that to his little brother Manman.
Little Jiang Mingxiao wasn't actually hurt that much by the beating, after all, Jiang Mingzhao, as the eldest brother, knew his limits. But that didn't stop him from pouting and pretending to be pitiful in front of his mother.
"Mother, my brother hit Xiao'er!"
"Humph! Who told you to talk nonsense?!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the two children bickering, helplessly held her forehead, and quickly asked someone to bring Manman over.
As expected, the two children were instantly attracted by Manman, especially Jiang Mingxiao, who had no memory of the slap on the back of his head that didn't hurt at all. His mind and eyes were full of his little brother Manman who was sleeping soundly and licking his lips.
It is particularly evident that although the two children dislike Manman for being ugly, they actually like him very much.
Mu Jiaojiao was not lucky enough to have the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. She ate the light and nutritious food carefully prepared by Chang Le and He Zhouyun. The taste was actually quite good, but Mu Jiaojiao felt that the meal was so bland that her mouth was dry.
Hey!
Who understands the sadness of not being able to eat spicy food? ! !
After the reunion dinner, He Zhouyun gave each of the two older children a red purse, and also took one out for Manman, who only knew how to sleep and breastfeed, and placed it lovingly on his little bed.
After patting the butts of many children, he took Jiang Mingzhao and Jiang Mingxiao to their exclusive "Children's Playground" to set off firecrackers.
The old man and two children had a lot of fun, laughing non-stop, and there were fireworks set off afterwards, which brought the lively atmosphere to a climax. All the maids and servants in the mansion gathered together with smiles on their faces.
Lingyunxuan where Mu Jiaojiao was seemed a lot quieter. Fortunately, Jiang Jin still had a conscience. He was afraid that Mu Jiaojiao would be lonely, so he went to find a storybook, sat next to Mu Jiaojiao, and read the storybook to her.
After Mu Jiaojiao gave birth, she was under strict supervision. She was not allowed to read the storybook for too long. It would be taken away in half an hour at most. Everyone was guarding against her like a thief, and she was helpless.
Everyone in the mansion was delighted this year because Prince Jin had just given birth to a young prince. They waved their hands in joy and received a reward of silver before the New Year. On New Year's Eve, Mu Jiaojiao ordered Li Huan to give out another portion of lucky money.
So, this year, except for Mu Jiaojiao who was ordered to stay in bed and recuperate, everyone was happy and cheerful.
The new year had arrived, and it was already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. The thick snow in Yudu had almost melted away, and the dusty Ye Zijin and Zhao Xiangyi escorted Jiang Che to Yudu.
The royal family had many rituals, including New Year ancestor worship and various sacrificial activities, so the court would not open until the 16th day of the first lunar month. Jiang Che was then imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and Ye Zijin also returned to the Ye family to reunite with her family.
Zhao Xiangyi was taken away by Zhao Jianjia to the golden brocade dress. The brother and sister were reunited after a long separation and were naturally very happy.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Xiangyi had a private gathering with his friends and brothers whom he met in Lihua Village. Then, in the pavilion in the small courtyard behind Jinluoyi, he looked at the stars that had finally appeared, drank the liquor that had just been warmed, and had a slightly sad look in his eyes.
When Zhao Jianjia came over with a lantern, she saw Zhao Xiangyi leaning on the railing of the pavilion, alone.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Zhao Jianjiajiang's lantern was inserted beside the pavilion. He and Zhao Xiangyi stood side by side, looking up at the sky together. The stars dotted the sky, bright and dazzling.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiangyi took another sip from the wine jug in his hand. The warm liquor burned his throat all the way into his heart, bringing with it waves of unspeakable sourness.
After a moment's silence, he asked his sister, who depended on him for everything, "Jianjia, do you think she is happy?"
After hearing what Zhao Xiangyi said, Zhao Jianjia felt a pang of heartache. Zhao Jianjia naturally understood who this "she" was talking about.
She looked up at the man who was a head taller than her and much darker. Under the dim candlelight, his face looked more resolute yet revealed a bit of confusion and fragility. She remained silent for a long time.
"Brother, she is living a happy life. Prince Jin treats her like a treasure."
Zhao Jianjia didn't know what to say to her elder brother at this moment. After a moment's silence, she cruelly told the truth that everyone knew.
In fact, she knew that Zhao Xiangyi saw these things clearly, but she just wanted to get a word of affirmation from her.
Zhao Xiangyi paused drinking when he heard this. He turned around and leaned against the railing, his eyes lowered, casting a shadow in the candlelight.
"Yes! She's doing well!"
I should let it go!
but
I tried, but I just can’t let it go!
Zhao Jianjia wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know where to start. She wanted to say that her brother would eventually meet a better woman and live in harmony with him, but is there any woman in the world who could compare to Mu Jiaojiao?
In the end, she could only sigh in her heart, reached out and held Zhao Xiangyi's hand like when she was a child, and spoke with eyes full of worry, but also full of hope.
"Brother, Jianjia hopes that you can live well and be happy too!"
Zhao Xiangyi looked at his sister who was becoming more and more graceful, and could clearly see the worry in her heart. He reached out and touched Zhao Jianjia's head, put away the unrequited feelings in his heart, and said in a doting tone.
"Brother knows, our Jianjia has grown up and is becoming more and more worried about others. She might not be able to get married!"
When Zhao Jianjia heard Zhao Xiangyi's teasing and frivolous words, she thought of Wushuang and her face flushed involuntarily. She glanced at her brother and spoke in a coquettish tone.
"elder brother!"
"Hahaha...I'm not teasing you anymore!"
Zhao Xiangyi looked at his sister's shy face and laughed out loud, then returned to his serious state.
"Don't worry, little girl, I can save you some trouble!"
Zhao Jianjia felt relieved after hearing this. He was afraid that his brother was getting too obsessed with something. There was only one such outstanding woman like Mu Jiaojiao in the world, and Prince Jin and her were deeply in love.
Zhao Jianjia knew that it was impossible for her and her brother to be together, whether in Lihua Village or in Yudu, it was absolutely impossible!
The brother and sister then talked about some intimate matters. Zhao Jianjia told Zhao Xiangyi the cause of her mother's death and everything about Zhang Shu. Zhao Xiangyi was furious after hearing it, but he was also very rational and knew the seriousness of the matter.
After calming Zhao Jianjia down, he waited patiently as Mu Jiaojiao had said, waiting to deal a fatal blow to those who had harmed his mother.
Blood debt must be repaid with blood, and that trace of father-son affection cannot stop it in the slightest!
[It’s the last day of 2024!
My dears, in the new year, I wish you peace and good health, happiness and prosperity~]
