My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 37 The Hardest Mouth, the Most Cowardly Words

"Brother, shall we go home to eat today, or take sister-in-law out to eat? I've picked a restaurant. The lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake there is delicious! Shall we go?"

Zhu Gaoyu came out of the martial arts arena and was walking towards the carriage, rubbing his hands in anticipation, as if he had already determined that Zhu Gaochi would agree.

All he needed was one word, and then Zhu Gaoyu could hurriedly urge Xiao Jixiang and the coachman to take everyone to the restaurant.

What Zhu Gaoyu didn't expect was that his elder brother, who had always obeyed him in everything, shook his head when it came to eating.

"We're not going out to eat today. Let's go to my eldest sister's house."

Zhu Gaoyu, who was originally somewhat resistant to the rejection, immediately became stiff again after hearing the word "big sister":
"Really? Really? Can we really see Big Sister? Big Brother, can you let Yuan Rong eat at her own table, and we can eat with Big Sister?"

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he felt the blue veins in his temples throbbing.

What a bastard!

He slapped her again, "How many times have I told you not to call me Yuan Rong! You have such a smart head, how come you can't understand this!"

It was rare for Zhu Gaoyu to be unhappy with his elder brother.

He howled angrily:
"I just don't like him! When my mother was not around, it was my eldest sister who coaxed me to sleep. When my mother cried, it was my eldest sister who cheered her up. When I eavesdropped on you reading and got scolded by the teacher, I secretly cried in my bed, and it was my eldest sister who first noticed it and comforted me together with my mother!"

"Don't think I'm young, I know a lot. Yuan Rong is Yuan Hong's son, and he behaves recklessly, and I have to clean up his mess. You only know how to call him brother-in-law, but have you ever thought about how much grievances I have suffered for him?"

Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a moment, and there was something complicated in his heart that he couldn't express.

Xiao Si doesn't look very old, but precisely because of his young age, he is particularly sensitive.

However, at this moment, the second and third brothers who were following behind, after hearing what Zhu Gaoyu said, not to mention the murderous embryo on the horse's back of the second brother, even the third brother had a murderous look on his face.

They ran up to Zhu Gaochi and said coldly:
"Brother, tell me the truth, is what the fourth brother said true?!"

It's over.

How come such a big deal happened when we were just having a nice meal?
Zhu Gaochi rubbed his brows, and finally couldn't help but scolded angrily:
"You two think that having Old Four around isn't enough chaos? People who know you know that you are going to the mansion for dinner, but those who don't know would think that Yuan Rong has done something unscrupulous and wants you to seek justice!"

The second one stiffened his neck and said angrily:
"He dares not treat big sister well and cause trouble for her. He is totally heartless! As a younger brother, am I wrong to support my sister? Big brother, you are a coward, but I am not!"

have to.

He was also labeled a coward by the second brother.

Zhu Gaoyu sniffed his nose, looked at his elder brother who was isolated and helpless, and said something to help him:
"Big brother is just a bit soft-hearted. Second brother, don't make big brother cry. We still have to go to dinner later."

Zhu Gaochi: ...These annoying guys.

This class of younger brothers is more difficult to lead than I thought!
……

Although the brothers encountered some bumps along the way, they finally arrived at their destination.

The Yuan family's residence.

When Zhu Gaochi and others arrived at the banquet, they found an unexpected guest - Li Jinglong.

Zhu Gaochi and the second and third brothers looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

How could Li Jinglong appear here at this time and place?

Their relationship is not good!
Especially after what happened in the past few days, Li Jinglong became friends with Zhu Yunwen again, and the relationship between them became even more subtle.

When Zhu Gaoyu saw the elder sister, he smiled heartlessly, showing his little white teeth, and called out from a distance:
"Big sister! You miss me so much!" Zhu Yuying's cheeks were flushed, and she was very happy to see this little brother.

Zhu Gaoyu was seen tumbling his short legs and throwing himself into the arms of his eldest sister like a young swallow returning to its nest.

They are young, not even seven years old, and they are siblings, so there is no need to be so taboo.

Yuan Rong stared at the side.

Zhu Gaoyu seemed to have noticed something, and while his sister wasn't paying attention, he smiled at Yuan Rong.

sweet.

Yuan Rong took a breath of cold air.

This boy looks cute, but he is so scheming!

He showed this provocative smile. Did he think that Yuan Rong would be fooled and succumb to his provocation?
Yuan Rong didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly smiled. He walked over to Zhu Yuying, picked up the fat boy, and then laughed:

"This must be Gao Yu. I've heard your sister talk about you a lot. If we really want to talk about our relationship, you should call me brother-in-law."

roll roll roll.

Who wants to call him brother-in-law?

It's not enough for him to harm his elder sister, he also wants to take advantage of Zhu Gaoyu!
Zhu Gaoyu turned his face away and almost spat in his face.

It was at this time that Li Jinglong seemed a little impatient:
"Are you ready to eat? I came back from Huguang after a long day's journey and haven't had a hot meal in several days. Is there anything you have to say now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan, who was beside Li Jinglong, poked him with her elbow.

Li Jinglong felt pain and frowned as he looked at his wife beside him.

The wife he married was Yuan Rong's sister. He came to attend the banquet today. In addition to being the cousin of the four brothers of the Zhu family, he was also Yuan Rong's brother-in-law.

At this moment, after hearing Li Jinglong's words, Yuan Rong suddenly understood why Zhu Gaoyu hated his brother-in-law so much.

If it were him... he would hate his brother-in-law too!
Coincidentally, at this moment, Yuan Rong and Zhu Gaoyu's eyes met in mid-air.

Zhu Gaoyu spread his hands and raised his thick eyebrows in a humorous manner.

What he meant was that he was almost telling Yuan Rong - See, wouldn't you be disgusted too when you saw your brother-in-law looking like this?

Yuan Rong gritted his teeth and felt that what Zhu Gaoyu said was indeed correct.

If Li Jinglong wasn't of a slightly higher status than him, how could he endure such humiliation!

It turns out that with old people above him and young children below him, Yuan Rong is the one caught in the middle and suffering the bullying!
It was at this time that Xiao Yuan saw this and felt a little embarrassed:
"I told you not to come..."

When Li Jinglong heard this, he showed a trace of displeasure on his face, and immediately lowered his voice to refute:
"If you ask me not to come, then why won't I come? I will go back to the Yuan family more often next time and bring you with me every time to annoy you to death!"

Although the voice was small, everyone was silent and even Zhu Gaoyu could clearly hear Li Jinglong's voice.

But when he heard this, his thick eyebrows frowned again, and he seemed to be in deep thought, as if something was wrong...

The next moment, Xiao Yuan spoke again:
"My hands hurt from peeling this crab roe, so you should be careful too."

In history, there was indeed an example of Yuan Rong being arrogant and criticized by Judy. I am using her character as an example here.
