171. Postscript 05

Gillian said to Zhao Yanping not long ago that his daughter would not like Lu Jun, and Lu Jun would not like her daughter. On this day, she found out that she had read Lu Jun wrongly. Before she completely figured out the situation, Gillian kept it from Zhao Yanping so that he would not laugh at her for being inaccurate.

The next day, Zhao Yanping went to Dali Temple. Shortly after he left, Mei came to Jixiang Hutong.

Chu Jin didn't know what she was coming, so she smiled and greeted her, and then went to the front private school to study.

A girl who is only fourteen years old has a lot of homework to learn.

Mei sat on the chair, smiling at her favorite daughter-in-law.

When Gillian waited for her daughter to walk away, she immediately asked Mei: "Brother Jun didn't want to pay attention to Chu Jin when he was a child, why did he fall in love with her?"

Mei turned her head and looked at her and said, "Can you make it clear if you like this? You just came to the capital and your aunt introduced you so many good men, why don't you like it? Also, when your officials were promoted, many ladies from the officials wanted to marry him, but he had to tell me, what's the reason?"

Gillian suddenly had nothing to say.

What reason does it mean? She had Zhao Yanping first in her heart. He took root and sprouted there. No matter how good other people are, she couldn't see them at all.

Mei continued, "You have also said that Brother Jun was not enlightened in the past. Now he and Chu Jin have grown up. Chu Jin is your daughter. Can you not know if she is good or not. She is beautiful and well-behaved, and she is so likable. Brother Jun will be moved to show that he is not stupid. If he doesn't even look down on Chu Jin, I will cry, so why did he give birth to a blind son!"

As he said this, Gillian subconsciously said modestly: "Chu Jin is not as good as you praise..."

Mei Shi snorted: "Since you don't care, then give me your daughter. I will marry her home as my daughter-in-law and I will take care of you."

Gillian:...

Seeing her stupid, Mei smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about those, just say some serious things. Brother Jun likes Chu Jin, and his father and I are happy to see him. They are definitely willing to do it without asking their father and mother. But they don't know if you couple like our brother Jun. One thing is, Brother Jun was naughty when he was a child, and he was quite sensible when he grew up. He interfered with him, but he never got drunk or missed women. You can rest assured."

Gillian and Mei have been friends for so many years, but they have not taken a turn. They said, "Of course I am willing, but I don't know what Chu Jin thinks. Please wait for me to ask her. If she likes Brother Jun, our two families will marry each other. If Chu Jin doesn't want to, then we will be parents and it's not easy to force her."

Mei smiled and said, "It should be, but don't worry about it. In a few days, Chu Jin's birthday, you will give us Jun Ge'er a chance to please Chu Jin, just once. If Chu Jin really doesn't like Jun Ge'er's gifts and doesn't like Jun Ge'er's people, then our two families will continue to be friends and not force the children."

Gillian said, "What gift did Brother Jun prepare?"

Mei Shi glared at her: "How can I know this? Although I like Chu Jin, feelings are the affairs of two children. I just remind Brother Jun to prepare gifts. What he can think of depends on his own ability. I will never interfere."

Jiao thought, this is good. If Mei helps cheat, her daughter will be sad when she finds out.

Mei also reminded her: "Don't tell your official first, otherwise I'm afraid that he won't allow Brother Jun to come that day."

The opinions of son-in-law, father-in-law and mother-in-law have never been the same.

Gillian smiled and said, "You're thinking too much. It's not Xiu Mu that day, and he's not at home."

Mei said, "You are not allowed to say that he is a minister of Dali Temple. If he really wants to stop Jun Ge'er from approaching Chu Jin, he can come up with a hundred ways."

Gillian had no choice but to continue hiding it from Zhao Yanping.

With her permission, Mei called his son who had been in the government school in the evening and reminded him that Chu Jin was about to have his birthday and asked his son to find a way to please Chu Jin.

Lu Jun wanted Chu Jin's favor, but he didn't know how to ask for it: "What gifts did she like?"

Mei asked back, "Do you marry a wife or I marry a wife? If you ask me to help you with everything, you can't use your brain?"

Lu Jun scratched his head and returned to his yard with great worries.

At night, Lu Jun had insomnia again. He covered Chu Jin's embroidered handkerchief in his hand, constantly recalling what Chu Jin would like when he was a child, trying to analyze what Chu Jin would like. However, after thinking about it, all he could remember was that he disliked Chu Jin. When he was fishing with Meng Zhao, Xiao Chu Jin chattered and wanted to take Meng Zhao to catch a bull. Xiao Chu Jin cried and held Meng Zhao's hand to prevent his brother from playing with black bugs, and disliked him for inviting Meng Zhao to play on the ice. Xiao Chu Jin who followed him always fell, causing Meng Zhao to accompany her to always be with her, and could not play with him...

Lu Jun couldn't sleep even more. He remembered so clearly. Will Chu Jin remember it too?

With his hands scratching his head, Lu Jun sat up regretfully. If time could be returned, he really wanted to give himself two big fists when he was a child!

Lu Jun felt deeply that there was no hope of pleasing Chu Jin by himself, and his mother refused to help. He was embarrassed to ask his father. The next evening, Lu Jun went to find his great-grandfather.

"Great-grandfather, what birthday gift do you think a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old will like?"

When playing chess with Mrs. Lu, Lu Jun said with a gambler.

Mr. Lu didn't even raise his head, and while observing his great-grandson's layout, he asked, "Are you talking about Chu Jin?"

Lu Jun shook his hand and messed up the chessboard!

Lu Taigong blew his beard: "Look at your promising prospect!"

Lu Jun blushed and stuttered: "How did you see it?"

Mr. Lu snorted: "If I can't see it, wouldn't I be confused? But it's useless to ask me about this. Anyone you like you have to pursue it yourself. You can plan other things, but the little girl's heart cannot be calculated, so she can only exchange her sincerity."

Lu Jun was stunned.

Lu Taigong silently arranged the broken chessboard again, and then called back the soul of his great-grandson flying away, asking his great-grandson to continue playing chess with him.

March 26th, the first birthday.

Before Zhao Yanping set off in the morning, he agreed to his daughter that if nothing big happened in the afternoon, he would come back early to celebrate his daughter's birthday.

Chu Jin said sensiblely: "The case is important. What's so strange about the birthday? I'll spend it every year."

Zhao Yanping touched his daughter's head and left the house.

Meng Zhao is going to participate in the college entrance examination in April. Recently, the official school is concentrating on teaching questions to this group of students who are taking the exam, so Meng Zhao is not able to take leave.

Chu Jin smiled and asked his brother to prepare for the exam with peace of mind: "Brother passed the exam to the scholar is the best gift you gave me this year. When you finish the exam, you will accompany us to play."

Meng Zhao smiled and said yes.

Zhao Yanping and Meng Zhao actually wanted to celebrate Chu Jin's birthday, but they couldn't take leave casually. The seven-year-old Zhao Fang held his sister's arm and leaned over to his mother and said, "Mom, today's sister's birthday, I want to stay at home with her. Can you ask your elder brother to take leave for me for a day?"

A Jiao looked at her face and said, "No need, your grandmother, cousin, second aunt, eldest aunt, and aunt Mei will all come here. Our house is very lively and there is no shortage of you. Go and study well. You can cook delicious food at home tonight."

Zhao Fang's chubby little face immediately pouted.

Gillian gave Meng Zhao a wink.

Meng Zhao smiled and took his younger brother away and went to the official school together.

Gillian didn't fool her younger son. The family is really lively today. The older her daughter is, the less she is. Every birthday that can be celebrated at her parents' home is worth celebrating. Aunt Chen Ying and others are also here to celebrate their daughter's birthday, including Mei. Even if they don't want to get married, Mei will come.

Shortly after the three of you set out, the guests came to the door one after another.

The first ones to visit were Gillian's aunt Meng, cousin Xue Yan's wife Tang, and the couple's children. The brother is four or five years old and the younger sister is only two years old.

Following Chen Ying and her daughter, Xie Ziheng also went to the official school. Her sister Xie Mianmian was smaller than Chu Jin and she had a good time playing.

Princess Duan Xue Ning also came very quickly, with the lively and cute little princess, and she was pregnant with one in her belly. Not only did she bring her daughter, she also brought Princess Yongjia in the palace.

At this moment, there are all older and younger children, so why is Zhao Fang missing?

Mei’s family came the latest, and the family she brought was the most special, one was Lu Taigong with a long hair and a young face, and the other was Lu Jun, who should have been in the official school.

Jiao knew what was going on, but Chen Ying was surprised and asked Lu Jun: "Why didn't Brother Jun go to the official school?"

These are all Chu Jin's elders, Lu Jun's face turned red.

Lu Tai publicly relieved his great-grandson, leaning on a crutch in one hand and touching his beard with the other, saying, "I asked him to come. I'll go shopping in the garden later. He is very strong and I can't walk anymore and let him help me."

Mei helped to smooth things over, "I didn't want to call Jun Ge'er, but he wanted to skip school and was caught by the old lady, so he called the person over so that he wouldn't go out and make trouble by himself."

When everyone heard this, they understood that Lu Jun blushed like that because of shame.

The scenery of Nanyuan in spring is just right, and the guests are all here, and everyone has moved to the garden.

Gillian and other elders sat in the pavilion and chatted, while the children went to play around.

Grand Duke Lu asked Lu Jun to support him, and the great-grandson and grandson walked slowly along the edge of the pond, looking like they were really enjoying the scenery. In fact, both of them were paying attention to Chu Jin. Chu Jin was rare to meet Princess Yongjia, and Xie Mianmian, the three little girls were so inseparable that they never left alone for a moment.

A layer of fine sweat appeared on Lu Jun's forehead. It was the same thing that he did not dare to talk to Chu Jin alone, and it was the same thing that he had no chance to speak.

Mr. Lu was anxious for his great-grandson, and had no choice but to call a little maid and send her to invite Chu Jin over, and emphasized that he had something to say to Chu Jin alone.

The little maid ran to the front of the three little girls.

"Old lady called me?" Chu Jin looked opposite Chizi and could vaguely see Mr. Lu sitting next to a green bamboo, with Lu Jun standing beside him, and his face was blocked by bamboo leaves.

Princess Yongjia wore a crabapple on her head, her beautiful eyes were as beautiful as water, and she asked the little maid with a smile: "What should I tell Chu Jin alone? The old lady is always known as a detective, so I want to get close to him."

Xie Mianmian nodded.

The little maid is the little maid of the Zhao family. She didn't know what Mr. Lu was thinking and looked at her girl in embarrassment.

Chu Jin said to Princess Yongjia and thanked Mianmian: "I'll go over and take a look first. When the old lady finishes her bus, if he doesn't bother us, I'll wave to you to come over."

Princess Yongjia agreed first, sat on the swing with Xie Mianmian, swaying gently while looking at Chu Jin's back, and her heart was filled with curiosity.
