What a Funny Family She Has - C58

Jiang Huagang had long since noticed Jiang Hua An’s gesture towards He Yuan, and the two of them had slipped away to the side. He couldn’t help but rejoice. It seemed that his future sister-in-law was already in his big brother’s pockets. His big brother’s attack was indeed fast, accurate, and ruthless. It hit instantly.

After everyone drank the fruit wine, they were much more relaxed compared to before. After a while, they stood up and began to talk, and it was Chen Zhu’s first time drinking fruit wine, and also her first time today. In a moment of happiness, she drank a few more mouthfuls, but then she heard Jiang Hualiang say from across the table, “Sister Zhu, this is wine, not water, why is your child drinking so much?”

Chen Zhu raised his wine cup and took another sip, staring at Jiang Huagang, “What part of me do I look like a child to you?” As he said this, he stood up to take a look because he had lost He Yuan. Jiang Hualiang suddenly called out, “Sister Zhu’er, come over here!”

Chen Zhu didn’t dare to refuse. However, he secretly muttered in his heart, saying that it’s my birthday, and I don’t have any presents. He then just used his mouth to pray, and then he just ate and drank for free.

Seeing that Chen Zhu was hesitating for a moment before he dragged his feet and approached, Jiang Hua Kuan felt upset in his heart, asking, “Miss Zhu, am I very scary?”

Not scary, not scary!” How could Chen Zhu dare to say in front of everyone that Jiang Hua Kuan was scary? With just a glance, he could tell that Jiang Hua was a tough guy with a tough build and a tough face.

She had an expression of being afraid of me, yet she still insisted that she wasn’t afraid. Jiang Hualiang thought for a moment, then decided to speak more gently to the child, scaring her so much that she didn’t know what to say. While thinking, her face softened. She lowered her voice and said, “I just want to tell you, Sister Yuan went over there. Don’t go over there.”

Hearing Jiang Hua Kuan’s voice soften a little, Chen Zhu couldn’t help but glance at his face, which was no longer fierce, and looked much more pleasing to the eyes than usual under the moonlight. Feeling a little more relaxed, he nodded and said, “Got it!” As he spoke, he felt an itch on his neck, even on his back. He scratched his neck.

“Don’t grab!” Noticing Chen Zhu’s strange expression, Jiang Hua Kuan leaned closer to take a look, and his face changed: “Have you ever drunk fruit wine before?”

“We’re not allowed to drink at home. This is the first time we’ve had a drink. ” Chen Zhu scratched his arm again, feeling itchy all over, and said with a sad face, “I’m going back!” Wu, to suddenly itch like this, I have to rush back to the cabin to ask the mama to bring hot water to wash up.

“Wait!” Jiang Huagang shook his head, “Some people get a red lump when they drink alcohol. Last time, there was one who got a red lump too, and it was bloody. It’s not good to look at.” He looked at Chen Zhu and saw that her face was red, and she did not dare to grab onto her arms anymore. However, she was pressing her hands against the wall, and was obviously itching for action, stamping her feet as she rushed towards the cabin. She thought for a moment and then went to catch up, “Don’t scratch it, drink more water, you’ll have a cold bath later, and can’t take hot water. I’ll go to the captain and see if there’s any prickly heat powder. If there’s anything I can get you to throw on your body, it’ll stop the itching. ” He ran to the captain’s cabin.

Since the sailors were blowing the river and sometimes had red patches on their bodies, they could actually stop the itching with prickly heat powder. There were several boxes of chili powder on the boat, and Jiang Huagang took a box from the captain and hurriedly ran over to Chen Zhu’s cabin and knocked on the door. Chen Zhu was still stamping her feet to resist the itch, but seeing that Jiang Huagang had arrived, she immediately let him in.

“Hurry up and sprinkle it on top. Drink some more water. After a night, you won’t feel itchy anymore.” Jiang Hua Kuan passed the powder to Chen Zhu, and seeing that the others have not returned to their cabins yet, he nodded, “Tonight the moon is bright, and they won’t be coming back from the deck.” She then stood up and said, “I’ll go out and call a mama to help you sprinkle the heat shock powder.”

“Thank you, Big Brother Kuan!” Although big brother Kuan was usually fierce, he was quite attentive at times. I decided not to speak ill of him behind his back next time. Chen Zhu raised her eyes to look at Jiang Hua Kuan, thanked him and stood up to see him out.

“Enough, this red piece can’t be blown by the wind even if it has grown. A single blow will only make it even more itchy.” You should quickly go in! ” Jiang Hua An saw that Chen Zhu was trying to resist the itch, so he felt quite pitiful. He shook his head and said, “I already told you not to drink too much wine, but you wouldn’t listen.” As he spoke, he stood at the door to let Chen Zhu in. Then, he opened the cabin door and closed it before leaving.

“Hua Kuan, I have something to tell you.” Jiang Hua An, who was standing on the deck, stopped when he saw Jiang Hua Kuan approaching. He smiled and said, “Why aren’t you drinking with them from the front?” Just now, this bro came over and said that he’s missing you. ”

“Sister Zhu’er drank some wine and felt itchy all over, so I asked the captain for a box of heat shock powder to send to her.” Jiang Huagang answered casually as he laughed, “Where’s sister-in-law in the future? How come she’s gone?”

“She’s moving her head forward!” “Sister Yuan, don’t call her sister-in-law. Once I’m ashamed and walk away, I won’t have a sweat towel anymore.”

Jiang Huagang looked at the scented bag on Jiang Hualian’s body, clicked his tongue, and said, “With my future sister-in-law around, I’ll be different. I’ll be wearing a scented bag, and I’ll smell good whenever I walk.”

“If you’re envious, you can find a girl to embroider for you.” Seeing that Jiang Hua was about to speak, Jiang Hua An pressed his hand down, not allowing him to speak. He looked up towards the heavens and said, “Don’t even mention asking your future sister-in-law to embroider for you. I can’t bear to tire her out too much.”

“What?” Embroidery one more spice bag and you’ll be tired? ” Jiang Hua Kuan spread out his hands and said, “Call mother to help me embroider when we return home, what’s so rare about it?”

Jiang Hua An laughed heartily and said, “The ten embroidery ladies all know how to embroider. However, you don’t have the ability to get a little girl to embroider one for you. There’s nothing you can do about it.”

In front of this big brother, Jiang Huagang no longer pretended to be mature and steady. He rolled his eyes and said: “I heard that you only had a sachet to wear this year, what are you so proud of? Besides, I really want a sachet. I’ve already collected countless of them. It doesn’t matter if you take a sachet, you just have to be afraid of getting into trouble. ”

“Once I get engaged, Mother will go all out to talk about you. You won’t be able to avoid it for long.” Jiang Hua An stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Hua Kuan and smiled, “I see. Why don’t you make a decision, Miss Zhu?” Firstly, Miss Zhu and Miss Yuan are close. Since the two of them have companions at home, the little girls will not bother us even if they were to talk about the little girl. Secondly, they are still young and don’t know much. We don’t need to be annoyed, we can just practice our martial arts as usual. “After you’ve finished your thoughts, you won’t see the sky nagging at us, so listen quietly.” Jiang Hua An patted Jiang Hua’s shoulder and said, “Sister Zhu seems to be doing pretty well. If you don’t decide on her, then I will make a decision for you that I don’t know of, and I will regret it.” Although it is the night that the men of our Jiang family get married, there is no one who doesn’t marry. You can’t run away. “Think about my words.”

Jiang Hua Kuan opened his mouth to speak, but when he thought about it carefully, he stopped. His brother was right. If he couldn’t avoid getting married, he might as well choose one himself. At this time, he thought of Chen Zhu’s little face, nodding as he said, “Sister Zhu Zhu’er, your pretty face is also lively, but it suits my taste. It’s just that she looked scared when she saw me, and she was afraid she wouldn’t want to. ”

“I’ve already asked Sister Yuan to investigate. I know that once you know who your opponent is, you’ll be able to win a hundred battles.” Jiang Hua An waved his hand and said, “You’ll have to do it on your own. If the little girl doesn’t object, you can go to her mansion and propose a marriage.”

On the other hand, when He Yuan returned to his cabin, he saw only Chen Zhu there. Upon seeing her blushing face, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What’s going on?”

“I drank too much alcohol and my body grew red lumps. It’s so itchy!” When Chen Zhu saw He Yuan had arrived, she said, “Just now, mama came in and helped me to apply some prickly heat powder on my face. It’s much better now, but it’s still itchy.”

When He Yuan heard that the powder was brought by Jiang Hua Kuan, he couldn’t help but secretly smile. He then sprinkled some of the powder on her back and said, “Sister Zhu’er, Brother Kuan seems to be good to you. He’s very attentive.”

“I used to be afraid of him when I saw his fierce face. This time I think he’s not so scary. ” Chen Zhu nodded and said, “Luckily he brought over some prickly heat powder. Otherwise, I don’t know what to do!”

“Sister Zhu’er, let’s be good this way. We’ll be together in the future, alright?” He Yuan looked at Chen Zhu’s expression and saw that her tone of voice was much gentler than before when she mentioned Jiang Hua Kuan. Seeing that there was no one in the cabin, he bent over and whispered, “You will be thirteen years old after the new year. If you want me to say, why don’t you let Big Brother Kuan go to your family and propose marriage? We’ll have another marriage in the future, so we’re not afraid of being bullied. Old Madame Jiang and the general’s wife are straightforward and easy to talk about, but it’s better than giving it to other residences. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhu’s face reddened, but she remained silent. After all, if she really married Jiang Hualiang, they would all be familiar with each other. Furthermore, Madame Jiang and Madam General were also familiar with each other, making her feel really at ease.

“Sister Yuan, when my sister got married, I thought that there was no one I knew in her family, so I secretly worried for a long time! If we can still be together in the future, naturally, we can be at ease. ” Chen Zhu did not hesitate and whispered to He Yuan, “I heard that there are many ladies in the mansion who wanted to marry their daughters to the General’s Estate. It was only because Brother An and Brother Kuan never agreed to marry each other that the marriage dragged on to this day.” “Tell me, since Brother Kuan has never agreed to the marriage, would he have agreed to come to our manor and propose marriage?”

He Yuan closed the lid of the powder and pulled on Chen Zhu’s clothes. He quietly said: “I only want to ask you, if Big Brother Kuan came to your house to propose marriage, would you be willing?”

“If he dares to bring this up with my family, I dare to agree!” With a flushed face, Chen Zhu replied, “I was just thinking about being able to laugh and tease with you in the future, and I’m willing to do so.”

Hearing that, He Yuan couldn’t help but cover his mouth and laugh as he said, “Sister Zhu’er, if I didn’t know, I would have thought that you were marrying me.”

“Cough, that’s true. After getting married, they are all very miserable. I feel scared when I listen to them. With you around, I’m not afraid. We’re in the same boat when difficulties arise! ” Chen Zhu said quietly, “My mother always whispers that she has nothing to talk about. She grew up playing with her best friends, and once she marries someone, we will never see each other again. I was afraid when I thought that we would grow up and get married separately, and that we might not even see each other. “That’s good, if Big Brother Kuan really wants to propose, then we’ll still be at the same place.”

“Miss Zhu!” He Yuan was a little touched. He patted her hand and said, “I’m really happy to be able to be with you again in the future!”

Just as the two of them were speaking in hushed tones, they saw Qiao Xin and Shi Yue enter the room. “We said that you two are gone, and we were looking for you. Just now, mama went out to say that Miss Zhu’s body was covered with red buns from drinking wine. Are you feeling better?”

“Wu, I don’t dare to drink it next time!” As Chen Zhu spoke, she noticed that everyone else had entered, and she couldn’t help but laugh, “Why are you all here? Are you not enjoying the moon anymore?”

“We came in to embroider the Hundred Blossom Painting, we must have you cover it before midnight.” With a smile, He Yi took the needle and thread and said, “There is only one beginning to the embroidery process today. All of you work together to prepare for the end of the embroidery process.”

I’ll do it too. Think about it, how rare it is for the ten of us girls who participated in the North and South Embroidery Meeting to work together to make a cloth. I’ve covered this entire night, and I’m not willing to cover it either, so I’ll definitely put it away properly. “” “As she spoke, Chen Zhu felt the itch on her body lessen as she hurriedly jumped down to retrieve her needle and thread.

For a time, everyone started to work on embroidery while chatting and laughing.

After travelling for half a month, the news of who was the champion of the North and South Embroidery Meeting had already been spread back to Nanchang. At this time, everyone had already gone to the Residence of He and Shi to congratulate them.

Madam Anping hurried to the Mansion of Elders to take a breather. She was about to propose marriage for Song Shaoyang. Madam Shang frequently went to the He manor, only saying that she would propose marriage on behalf of her grandson, Tao Lingjie. Madam Anping wanted to bring up He Yuan, but when Madam Shang Shu thought back, she brought up a congratulatory message. While the two families were secretly discussing this matter, a message came from the palace. However, it was said that congratulatory messages would be sent to the palace to be given to the embroidery lady. Because he had won the title of chief this time, he was the perfect candidate for a female embroidery officer. Madam Shang had first received the news, and could only turn her thoughts to He Yuan, and busied herself with breathing in the Grand Princess Mansion. As the two of them were leaving, Shang Jie went to the Grand Princess’s residence and told her husband, “My brother is protecting the girls as they go to Northern Cheng State. He wanted them to take the top three spots at the embroidery event with no merit and no suffering. “Madam Anping and Lady Shang Shu’s bros couldn’t muster up any strength at all, so they decided to settle on Sister Yuan. However, I am not going to agree to that.”

“Yo, it’s not up to me to decide whether I agree or not.” “Sister Yuan, you’re just my goddaughter, not my real daughter. Her parents are still in charge of this matter.” The Grand Princess comforted Shang Jie, “How many madams want to marry your General’s Mansion? What are you worried about? With the promise of Sister Yuan, Mother will definitely agree to your family’s marriage. “It’s just that all three of you have left already, so it’s not good for her to show her favoritism.”

Shang Jie stomped her feet and said, “If not for the fact that the palace lost a grand concubine, we would not be discussing marriage this month. I would have already gone to the He Mansion to propose marriage. He could only bear with his temper until next month. They should be expecting that by then, Wa An and the others would arrive as well. ” He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “As soon as the matter of the Embroidery Assembly was over, Hua An returned with a letter. He said that Zhou Kuangzheng of the State of Northern Chengdu had mentioned the marriage alliance between the North and the South. I’m afraid Empress Zhou is going to choose one of the three embroidery ladies to be the concubine of the Third Prince. I’m worried that Empress Zhou might set her eyes on Sister Yuan! “I’m just afraid that there will be too many troubles at night, it’s best to make up my mind early.”

“You can rest assured that the He Mansion will not allow our daughter to marry into a distant family.” The Grand Princess muttered to herself, “Tomorrow, I will send someone to invite Young Mistress He over to the residence to discuss the matter. They agreed on it first. “Wait until next month, then you can send someone to the He Mansion to formally propose. This matter will be settled.”

“That’s exactly what I meant!” Only when Shang Jie saw that the Grand Princess was supporting her did she heave a sigh of relief.
