I drank a lot of milk to calm down the shock. The whole family was waiting for me to rescue them.

Su Jinze stood alone in front of her house with a small bundle on her back, looking back at her mother holding Jiu Jiu, frowning slightly: "Am I really not allowed to take Jiu Jiu out?"

Thirteen showed a sarcastic smile, what a beautiful thought. Now Madam will not let anyone take Jiujiu out privately.

Yun Jinglan gave him a look to let him understand. The last time Jiujiu went out, he came back like a little beggar. If he was taken out again, he would become a little tramp.

"Hurry up and leave without any further delay." Yun Jinglan pointed at Thirteen, "You two come together."

"Me?!" Thirteen pointed at his nose and looked at Jiu Jiu in shock, "Master..."

[I feel relieved if Thirteen follows you, to protect my elder brother. 】

Thirteen:"……"

Su Jinze wants to kill the whole world with a red tassel gun. Who is protecting whom?

Fortunately, Thirteen is obedient, and even if a hundred people are unwilling, they can only follow.

Jiujiu somehow found her mother's handkerchief and waved it symbolically, wiping the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief, "Ooooooo!"

[Ouch, my big brother! Have a good journey! 】

Su Jinze: "..."

She cried in a measured tone, much more professionally than the old lady at the entrance of the village.

Thirteen had a headache: "Ancestor, stop howling, I will definitely protect your brother!"

Tweeting and sniffing, she waved her handkerchief: [Bye bye~]

Su Jinze and Thirteen rode away quickly, fearing that Jiujiu would burst into tears and send them away directly.

Until no one could be seen, Jiujiu calmly looked at her mother, who had been silent for a long time, and said, "Why don't you take me home?" 】

[Oh, my eldest brother is just a boy and wants to go out for a while. A loving mother often fails, and I must train my mother to accept it calmly in the future. 】

Yun Jinglan: Thank you, my acceptance level is already very high now.

There has been a lot of instability in the capital recently. The Manchu Dynasty has been conducting a rigorous investigation into witchcraft and Gu arts, and many people related to the remnants of the previous dynasty have been uncovered. Once he is found out and jailed, the whole capital will be filled with the smell of blood.

A heavy rain washed away the bustling capital city.

Su Junyao stood in front of the window and looked at the rain curtain outside, "It rains a lot this year."

The blood outside the Meridian Gate was clotted, and I don't know how much rain it would take to wash it away.

Chen He stood behind him politely and said, "Master Marquis, someone delivers a post to the lady."

Su Junyao found that it was no longer unusual for anything to happen in the family since Jiujiu was born. After all, there was now a 70-year-old Quanfu lady who invited Jiujiu alone for her birthday.

"Old Madam Gongye?"

"Exactly, the invitation was sent personally by the housekeeper of the Gongye family this morning. One for the family and one for the young lady alone."

Gongye was a reclusive family. When Taizu of Zhou raised an army, the Gongye family sent people out to follow Taizu. After Taizu established the Zhou Dynasty, Master Gongye retreated bravely and voluntarily resigned and went into seclusion. Taizu was grateful for the efforts of the Gongye family and granted him the title of Marquis.

With the succession of each patriarch, the influence of the Gongye family in the entire Zhou Dynasty cannot be underestimated.

Mrs. Gongye is the grandmother of this clan leader, and her seniority and status are extremely high. I just don’t understand why her old man suddenly invited Jiujiu.

"What did the madam say?"

Yun Jinglan is usually responsible for this kind of thing. Now that she has told him, she can't make up her mind. Su Junyao didn't know if his wife wanted to go with Jiujiu, so he naturally had to ask clearly.

"Madam, I have concerns. You also know that the title of the Gongye family has been vacant for nearly ten years since the sudden death of the previous patriarch. This time, the person who came out is just a stupid young boy. Our young lady is also the favored one of the emperor and the queen. people."

It is human nature to avoid some taboos in troubled times.

It's just that the second son, Qiu Wei, became an official, and it was beneficial to have the help of the Gongye family.

Chen He didn't dare to say anything more. The masters in the house were more careful about matters involving the young lady. Su Junyao hesitated for a long time and decided to let Jiujiu make his own choice.

Su Junyao wrote two notes to Chen He and asked him to hand them over to Jiujiu. Whatever he chose was God's will.

When Chen He found Jiujiu, she was guarding Su Yunyi's study like a little doorkeeper. She now knows some simple pronunciation, which is not standard, but she can say goodbye to her mute life. From time to time, he can hold on to the wall, take two shaky steps, and then perform a flat fall for everyone.

Anyway, she is strong enough!

Seeing Chen He walking towards the study, Jiujiu's first reaction was to open her arms to stop him from disturbing his second brother's hard study.

Her second brother is about to take the first prize, and no one can disturb her!

Learning is the sky, learning is the earth, and the second brother’s learning is the only one who doesn’t need to study!

[Fourth brother said, it’s enough if one person in the family is promising. The second brother won the first prize in the examination, but he has no future! 】

But she completely forgot that her balance did not allow her to sit on the threshold and perform such a "difficult" action, so she fluttered her arms and fell backward.

Chen He's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He stepped in front of Jiujiu in three or two steps and lifted up Jiujiu by his collar, who had fallen backwards like a big fluttering moth.

"What are you playing at today?"

"Whoo~"

It was so dangerous that I almost died young.

Jiu Jiu looked at Chen He as if he were a fool, [Hee hee, Uncle Chen He is a bit stupid today and decided not to betroth Aunt Dongxiao to him! 】

Jiujiu was now solid. Chen He changed it to a hug. After weighing it twice, he felt that it felt a little heavier.

"Brother~uh!"

"Yeah, I know." The news about Jiujiu's concentration on supervising the second young master has spread throughout the Hou Mansion. Although Chen He can't understand it, he can guess, "I'm not here to see the second young master, I'm here to find you."

Jiujiu was curious and pointed at herself with her little hand, "Huh?"

"Yes, yes, that's you."

Chen He put down the tweet and placed the two folded notes in front of her as instructed by the Marquis. "The Marquis told me to let you pick one."

Jiujiu is illiterate, so choosing one at random is destiny.

But she is not stupid, who knows if she is just trying to fool children.

He held the two pieces of paper in front of him and stepped on them with his two little feet. The chubby tiger-toe shoes couldn't take up half of the place, so he started to chase people away like a grown-up.

[I accepted the note and asked my second brother to read it to me later. 】

[I'm not stupid, just in case it's a contract to sell myself. 】

Chen He: "Don't you choose one?"

Jiujiu shook her head, she didn't want it, she was afraid that adults would bully children.

Chen He had a loving smile on his face and was very patient: "Then you choose, and I will get it later. I know you can understand, so don't lose it, you know?"

It wasn't until Jiujiu nodded that Chen He left with peace of mind.

It's really hard for the second young master to see Jiujiu's serious attitude.

He just looked through the crack of the window and saw that the second young master was pitifully asleep.

Tsk, their young lady, she loses because she is too short to reach the crack of the window! Bu Rao must know that the supervisor is going to sit in the room!

When Jiujiu saw Chen He walking away, he lowered his head and pinched the two pieces of paper, held them between his fingers with difficulty, and opened the door a little with his head, "Ah!"

[Second brother, I’m in! 】

Tweet: Let me see who is not studying!
