Chapter 27 Grandparents' House
The Zhou family heard early on that Xia Qingqing would be back, and began preparing early in the morning.
Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were both standing at the door waiting, and when they saw a carriage approaching in the distance, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Grandpa, Grandma, here I come!"
When Xia Qingqing lifted the carriage curtain, she saw the Zhou family waiting for her. She was so excited that she wanted to jump out of the carriage, which scared them to death.
"Oh my goodness, you can't do this."
Xia Qingqing looked at the high altitude and was really afraid, so she waited to be carried down.
The first thing I did after bringing the baby down was to greet each member of the Zhou family one by one. Although I had never met them before, I felt a sense of closeness to them for no reason.
Old Master Zhou picked up Xia Qingqing and laughed so hard that his beard flew up.
"Come in quickly, don't stand at the door. Grandpa has prepared a room for you, you will definitely like it!"
Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up, "Really? Then Nannan wants to see it!!"
Xia Qingqing's reaction pleased Grandpa Zhou. He had spent several days carefully preparing this. If his little grandson liked it, his efforts would not be in vain.
"Brother Xiao, hurry up and catch up."
Before Xia Qingqing entered the mansion, she did not forget to turn around and shout. She stopped and everyone turned around to see who Brother Xiao was. Didn't they say that only Xia Qingqing would come?
This is amazing. Isn’t this the proton? How come it came out too?
Mr. Zhou and Zhou Tao looked at each other, and finally spoke in a deep voice.
"Mr. Xiao, we didn't know you were coming with us. We apologize for not welcoming you in person. Please come in quickly."
Zhou Tao stepped forward and said, Xiao Yihan was watching from inside the carriage and saw that they all liked Xia Qingqing so much that they had forgotten his existence.
I felt a little unhappy. I asked him to accompany me in the palace just now, but now that I was out, I started to forget about him.
Seeing that everyone in the Zhou family had been invited, Xiao Yihan walked in and followed behind without saying a word.
Xia Qingqing was brought to the hall, where lunch had already been prepared. The food was different from that in the palace, but for a little foodie like Xia Qingqing, as long as it tasted good, it was fine.
"Wow! There are so many delicious foods!" Xia Qingqing's eyes widened as she looked at the table full of delicious food, seeming a little confused about which one to eat.
"You are ignorant. Is this too much?"
A childish voice came from the side. Xia Qingqing turned around and saw a little baby, but much bigger than her.
"Yueyue, what are you talking about!" Old Madam Zhou scolded.
Zhou Muyue was very favored at home, and Old Madam Zhou had never said harsh words to her. But this time she was so mean to her just for a child. How could she bear this?
She burst into tears immediately, "Grandma is bad!" Old Madam Zhou regretted it as soon as she said it, but this is a princess, and she is doted on by the emperor.
Zhou Muyue felt that her family members no longer cared about her. Usually, they would coax her at this time, but she cried even louder out of grievance.
Seeing that Xia Qingqing was still crying, the people around her felt distressed but did not dare to go up to her. Wasn't it because of her?
He ran to Zhou Muyue's side and coaxed her in a low voice.
"Good girl, don't cry. You are my cousin, right? My name is Xia Qingqing, but everyone in my family calls me Nannan. Why are you crying?"
When Zhou Muyue heard her calling her cousin, she forgot to cry. Has she become a sister?
She glanced at the short person next to her. Is this person her sister?
It looks so soft, as if the little face is easy to pinch.
Suddenly it occurred to me that my grandma said my cousin was coming home and I had to take good care of her. It turned out to be her.
He reached out his hand to wipe away his tears, very heroically, and smiled at Xia Qingqing with his teeth bared.
"You are my cousin. I thought you were someone else. My name is Zhou Muyue."
If I had told her earlier that it was a younger sister, she wouldn't have cried. It was all my parents' fault for not explaining it clearly to her.
Is this good?
Xia Qingqing looked at Zhou Muyue and smiled happily, then pulled her to the table and sat down, speaking a little embarrassedly.
"Cousin, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have cried."
"Mother said that you are a princess. What is a princess?" Zhou Muyue looked at Xia Qingqing with bright eyes, full of curiosity.
Xia Qingqing thought Zhou Muyue was quite cute, showing her toothless mouth, "I don't know, they all call me that, just call me Nannan."
"Okay, okay, Nannan!" When I heard that she was a family member, I would call her Nannan, and then they would be family members.
The people from the Zhou family were watching the two little girls talking to themselves. Qian Xue was afraid that Zhou Muyue's shouting was against the rules, but the two old Zhou brothers did not stop them, and it was impossible for her to step forward to correct them.
Since they are still young, just let them be.
"Okay, okay, your cousin must be hungry, come and eat. After dinner, grandpa will show you your room and then take you out to play, okay?"
Old Master Zhou has now retired from the court and is unemployed at home. He usually just plays with birds and takes care of children. Now he has two children to play with, so he is very happy.
Xia Qingqing was very much looking forward to going out and playing, so she sat down at the dining table immediately. When Zhou Muyue saw this, he also sat up straight, and when he was told that he could eat, he stuffed food into his mouth frantically.
This scared Xia Qingqing who had just arrived. She didn't expect that Zhou Muyue, who looked so small, could eat so amazingly!
Xia Qingqing turned around and slowly ate the food in her bowl. It wasn't that she didn't want to eat quickly, but she had few teeth, so she naturally ate slowly.
From time to time, she would pick up some food for Xiao Yihan on the dinner table. Xiao Yihan would only be gentle when Xia Qingqing interacted with him. In other situations, he always had an aura that kept strangers away.
After finishing the meal quickly, Mr. Zhou took Xia Qingqing to see her room. When Zhou Muyue heard that she was going to live in their house, she happily went with them.
Xia Qingqing was holding Zhou Muyue on her right hand and Grandpa Zhou on her left hand. Zhou Muyue was holding Grandma Zhou on her right hand. The scene with two adults and two children looked very harmonious from behind.
Qian Xue whispered to Zhou Tao behind him, "Dad hasn't been this happy in a long time."
Zhou Tao nodded and smiled with relief as he looked at the scene.
They quickly arrived at Xia Qingqing's room. As soon as they entered, they saw a brocade screen fan with a hundred birds on it. Behind it was a custom-made pearwood bed. The patterns on it were lifelike, showing the exquisite craftsmanship.
The curtains above are made of pink tulle, and even the sheets and quilts are pink, which looks very harmonious.
There is also a desk next to it, on which are placed pens and inks used by children. I heard that they were all custom-made.
Xia Qingqing stared with eyes wide open. Isn’t this a perfect princess suite?
