After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 10 Rong Lingkuan

Nine-year-old Rong Lingkuan was at an age where he could not sit still. Soon, his butt seemed to have thorns on it, and he swayed from side to side to the carriage window to look at something curious.

It was not too late yet, the evening glow was reflected on the horizon. The summer heat of the day was gone, and there were more people on the streets.

Looking at the little brat twisting and turning, Ji Yunzhang stretched out two fingers, pinched the small bun on Rong Lingkuan's head, and pulled him back from the window.

"Want to go out and play?"

Rong Lingkuan's eyes were sparkling and his little head looked like a chick pecking at rice.

"Let's go! Brother-in-law will take you to travel around Yanjing City!"

After stopping the carriage, Ji Yunzhang stretched out his arm and held the child under his arm, but the child was too small, and Prince Ji held Rong Lingkuan like a pocket.

Rong Lingkuan, screaming, was held under the arm of his brother-in-law, whom he met for the first time today, and dragged out of the carriage.

Ji Yunzhang held Rong Lingkuan in his arms and knew him like the back of his hand. This was the place where he had played since he was a child, and he had almost worn away the ground.

This is the most prosperous and lively East Market Street in Yanjing City, with all kinds of snacks, acrobatics and gadgets.

Rong Peilan had only seen such scenes when her parents were still alive.

The few of them only left two servants to follow them, while Liuyan and the remaining maids followed the carriage back to the mansion first.

Rong Peilan followed the two slowly.

If she was free as a child, then Rong Lingkuan was exactly the opposite.

My father died when my mother was pregnant with my younger brother. After giving birth to Kuan Ge'er, she only managed to raise him until he was three years old before she died of depression.

After three-year-old Kuang'er entered the Xie family's gate, it was difficult for him to go out again. He spent his childhood in that small courtyard.

"elder sister!"

The chubby little child in her memory who held her tightly and refused to let go and the child who is now a teenager gradually overlapped with each other.

He ran towards her with a candied haws in his hand.

"My brother-in-law said that this is the most delicious candied haws in all of Yanjing!" The young boy stuffed the candied haws into her hand.

Rong Peilan took the candied haws from his hand and took a bite, smiling, "It's delicious."

After getting her response, Rong Lingkuan happily jumped to find Ji Yunzhang in front of him.

The two people in front, one is a child and the other is a child who never grows up.

Ji Yunzhang had something in his hand, and when Rong Lingkuan approached, he suddenly took it out from behind to scare him.

A mask with a scary painted face.

Rong Lingkuan's little face was speechless as he looked at Ji Yunzhang who was full of interest. He suddenly bent down and picked up a leaf from the side of the small stall. On the leaf was a big fleshy green caterpillar.

When a large green caterpillar was suddenly handed in front of him, Ji Yunzhang was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, which in turn caused Rong Lingkuan to burst into laughter.

It really proves the saying that one loses the rice while trying to steal the chicken.

Rong Peilan's round fan blocked the smile on her lips, but it couldn't hide her smiling eyebrows.

Ji Yunzhang patted the back of Rong Lingkuan's head with a dark face, and then he put the leaf with the caterpillar on it back to its place.

There were a lot of people on the street, and Rong Peilan followed them closely.

Rong Lingkuan also fed his sister who followed behind him from time to time, and they both ate until their stomachs were full.

He was also covered with small items such as lanterns, windmills, sachets, etc.

From candied haws to sugar figurines, to sugar paintings, as well as donkey rolls, pancakes, roast chicken and roast duck, the two of them almost bought everything on this street.

I also watched a lot of juggling, shadow puppetry, magic tricks, and monkey shows.

If it wasn’t getting late, Rong Lingkuan, who was not satisfied, would have wanted to play one more round.

There were so many things they bought that the two servants behind them could hardly carry them. Prince Ji and Rong Lingkuan finally had enough fun.

The sky finally darkened, and lanterns were hung on the street. Rong Lingkuan's face was red from playing, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were surprisingly bright.

Rong Peilan took out a handkerchief and wiped away the sweat on his face. "Brother Kuan, are you happy?"

"Sister, I'm so happy today!" Rong Lingkuan smiled with curved eyebrows.

She could see that Kuan Ge'er was really happy today.

"Sister, are you happy?" Rong Lingkuan asked back.

Rong Peilan didn't expect him to ask her back, and then she smiled and said, "Of course I am happy."

Ji Yunzhang folded his arms and looked at the siblings, and said with a sigh, "Even though I'm happy, I don't even know you're thanking me."

Rong Lingkuan looked up at Ji Yunzhang who had a playful look on his face, and suddenly smiled shyly. Before Prince Ji could understand what was going on, a pair of small hands suddenly hugged his waist.

"Thank you, brother-in-law." The voice was as soft as a mosquito.

Looking at the little head in his arms, Ji Yunzhang was suddenly at a loss, and a blush crept up his earlobe.

He originally wanted to tease his somewhat shy brother-in-law, but he never expected the little brat to be so sincere.

When they returned to the Xinling Marquis' Mansion, Zhong was already waiting at the Chuihua Gate.

"Junior Rong Lingkuan greets Madam."

Although Rong Lingkuan was only nine years old, his serious look like a little adult still made Mrs. Zhong laugh.

Her heart melted when she saw how cute he was.

What did Ji Yunzhang do when he was nine years old? He would climb trees to rob bird nests, and then she would chase him and beat him with a stick.

"No need to be so polite, just call me aunt, brother Kuan." Zhong smiled so hard that her eyes almost disappeared.

"Hello, aunt." Rong Lingkuan followed the advice readily.

Rong Peilan actually knew that bringing her younger brother to her husband's house was a very mysterious matter, and it all depended on the attitude of her husband's family.

"Mother, Kuan Ge'er..."

She wanted to explain a few more words but was interrupted by Mrs. Zhong.

"Don't mention anything else. I liked Kuan Ge'er the first time I saw him. I guess it's just a matter of eye contact."

Rong Lingkuan winked at his sister quietly, then smiled shyly at Zhong, "Aunt, this is a compliment to the younger generation, right?"

Rong Peilan burst out laughing. This boy is really smart.

Mrs. Zhong was amused. "Yes, I compliment you. You are much more likable than your brother-in-law when he was a child."

Ji Yunzhang, who was idling on the side, said, "???"

"Since you are here, stay for a while longer. It has been many years since we have heard the laughter of children in the mansion."

Mrs. Zhong touched the top of Rong Lingkuan's head lovingly, "You look so cute, and your aunt really likes you very much."

Zhong had only one son, Ji Yunzhang. If she had not been ill when giving birth to Ji Yunzhang, she would have given birth to four or five more of him, so as to avoid having to face this rebellious son and being angered to death sooner or later.

Ji Yunzhang yawned out of boredom, then pushed Rong Lingkuan to Zhong's side.

"Mom, this little thing is so fun. You play with it first. Perrin and I will go back first."

Rong Lingkuan, “???” Who is the little thing.

Without waiting for Mrs. Zhong to speak, or giving Rong Peilan and Rong Lingkuan a chance to explain, he pulled Rong Peilan through the hanging flower gate and walked quickly towards Yuhui Garden.

Just kidding, today he not only spent money and effort to please his brother-in-law, but also accompanied him for meals and play.

Why don't I settle this account with my sister right away? What's the point of wasting time standing by the gate?
