Zhou Jia pulled Yangyang and kowtowed. “Your Majesty, I’ll take my leave.”
Chu Yuhao looked at the father and son and said with a smile, “Minister Zhou, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Sit down and talk.”
The young eunuch brought two round stools over for the father and son. The father and son thanked him and sat down.
“My dear minister, you’ve raised the child well,” Chu Yuhao said as he looked at
Yangyang with a smile. “Zhou Chenxi, is your Xiao Bai a white dog with white
“Your Majesty, it’s not white. It has black hair all over its body.” Yangyang gestured on his eyebrows. “There are two small tufts of white fur on its eyes like two eyes. Uncle Shi said that it’s a four-eyed puppy. It’s also the puppy of a hunting dog. It’s very obedient. I’ll bring it to you the next time I come to see you.”
“Alright, bring it to me next time.” Chu Yuhao looked at the strong-looking and smart Yangyang and thought to himself that his son had just turned two weeks old. When he got to four or five years old, he would send him to Madam Li’s manor and ask Madam Li to help temper him so that he won’t look weak.
Chu Yuhao smiled and said to Zhou Jia, “Minister Zhou, Chu Si Hai came to the palace and said that you handed him a new prescription. He also demonstrated it to me. Minister Zhou, tell me what you want. I’ll reward you!”
Zhou Jia thought of the twins Li Yu was pregnant with. He thought of Mr. Wen saying that the medical woman in the palace would deliver the babies and nourish her body. He stood up and bowed. “Your Majesty, my wife is pregnant with two babies. I want to ask Your Majesty to send a medical woman to my house to help me take care of Madam. I’ll send her back when the child is full term.”
When Chu Yuhao heard this, he was even more satisfied with Zhou Jia and his wife. He smiled and said, “Congratulations, Minister Zhou. I’m also very gratified that you and your wife have such deep feelings for each other. It’s a small matter to ask a medical woman to serve Madam Li. There are also medical women who are leaving the palace in the palace. When Shen Zhong returns, I’ll send him to bring the medical woman to your house.”
Zhou Jia stood up to thank him. Chu Yuhao rewarded Yangyang with some trinkets. The father and son bade farewell to Chu Yuhao and carried the bags out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, Ji Xiang drove the carriage over and reported to Zhou
Jia, “Master, I returned that old woman to the Jianning family. I saw that Earl Jianning was dejected. Did His Majesty punish them?”
Zhou Jia smiled and repeated Chu Yuhao’s words. Ji Xiang smiled happily and said, “That’s great. That vicious old lady can only eat vegetarian food and pray in the Buddhist hall in the future.’
Yangyang pointed at the gift box that Zhou Jia had placed in the car and boasted happily, “Uncle Xiang, His Majesty even gave me many trinkets!”
Ji Xiang gave him a thumbs up, his eyes smiling into thin slits. “Oh! As expected! Our young master has also met His Majesty. Your name was given by His Majesty!”
“Oh! So my name was given by His Majesty! I didn’t even thank His Majesty just now. ”
Zhou Jia looked at him and thought of the little fatty from Earl Jianning’s family. Remembering that his face was red and he couldn’t even speak when he saw His Majesty, he patted Yangyang’s little butt proudly. “Little imp, get in the carriage and leave.”
When the father and son returned home, Zhou Jia felt that Yang Yang’s performance in the palace was good and felt that he should be praised. He smiled and said to him, “Yang’er, you did well today. Daddy will bring you to find Uncle. Let’s go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to eat glutinous abalone conchs, snacks, and shaved ice fruit bowl. How about that?”
Children loved to eat cold food. When it was cold, they would even put an icicle in their mouth and chew it a few times, let alone on such a hot day.
Yangyang’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Alright! I want to eat two bowls. I also want to bring some home for Brother Maizi and Brother Maodou. Uncle Xiang and the others, oh! And Grandpa from the old residence.”
When Zhou Jia heard that he had sent a long list, he smiled and said, “It’s all up to you. You can only consume two bowls of cold drinks. Your stomach will hurt if you eat too much.” Zhou Jia touched his stomach.
Yangyang raised his hand and said, “I promise I’ll only eat two bowls.”
The father and son walked out happily. When they arrived at Li Qing’s house, Li Qing had just returned from his mother-in-law’s house to wash up. When he saw the father and son, he happily picked up Yangyang. “Brother-in-law, didn’t you say that you and Yang’er won’t be back until tomorrow?”
Yangyang wrapped her arms around Li Qing’s neck. “Uncle, we fought with someone. I even went to the palace to see His Majesty!”
“Oh! Yang’er actually saw His Majesty!” Li Qing turned to look at Zhou Jia with a puzzled expression. “Brother-in-law, who did you fight with?”
Zhou Jia felt that Yangyang was a little too excited. He did not answer Li Qing’s question immediately. Instead, he looked at Yangyang seriously and said, “Yang’er, Uncle was asking Father just now. If you interrupt like this, others will say that you have no upbringing. You should wait for Father and Uncle to finish before you can say anything.”
Yang Yang lowered his head and said, “Yang’er knows his mistake. Yang’er will remember.”
Li Qing patted Yangyang. “You’re a good child if you know your mistakes.”
Only then did Zhou Jia tell Li Qing what had happened. Li Qing said angrily, “It’s his house again. Brother-in-law, make things difficult for him when he apologizes.”
“His Majesty has already spoken. I think Earl Jianning is a soft-hearted fool. There’s no point in making things difficult for such a person.” Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing and teased, “Your sister originally wanted to ask you to go to the Wang Family Village to play. What delicious food did your mother-in-law treat you to?”
Li Qing smiled in embarrassment and said, “You know that’s what I eat. She even made me a few sets of clothes and a few pairs of shoes and socks. She also made a big bag for Sister and Yang’er.”
Zhou Jia saw Li Qing’s flushed face and patted him with a smile. “Yes! Not bad. Treat her well after you get married. Husband and wife have to understand each other so that our days can be beautiful.”
Li Qing replied seriously, “Got it, Brother-in-law.”
When the three of them arrived at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, the shopkeeper welcomed them to a private room upstairs with a polite smile. He asked with a smile, “Lord Zhou, Li Hanlin, and Young Master, what would you like to eat?”
“Two servings of abalone snails, and some juice and snacks. Also, have you made the novel food that your head shopkeeper mentioned?”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, “I tried to make two or three. They’re selling well. There’s red bean cow milk ice, watermelon ice, and fruit ice. I’ll serve you a portion of each. Do you want to try them?”
“Alright, one of each.” Zhou Jia nodded and smiled.
After a while, the waiter brought over snacks and fruit juice. He smiled and said, “Lord Zhou, the shaved ice fruit bowl will be sent over in a moment.’
Yangyang took a sip of watermelon juice and said with a smile, “Father, Uncle, drink well too!”
Seeing that he was eating non-stop, Zhou Jia smiled and said, “Save your stomach for shaved ice later.”
Yangyang nodded as his small mouth moved non-stop. Soon, the shaved ice fruit bowl was served. Zhou Jia placed the Red Bean Cow Milk Ice in front of Yangyang. “Yang’er, you’ve already drunk two glasses of iced drinks. Eat the
Red Bean Cow Milk Ice.”
Yangyang looked at the watermelon ice and fruit ice in front of the two of them. “I want to try those two. Are they the same as Granny Liu’s?”
Zhou Jia and Li Qing laughed when they heard that. “Alright, try one spoonful each.”
Yangyang also tasted a spoonful before returning to eat his Red Bean Cow Milk Ice. After taking a few bites, he said in satisfaction, “Mm! It’s delicious. Father, please ask Uncle Shopkeeper to send a portion back to Uncle Xiang and the others. ”
“Alright, Daddy will get someone to send it to Uncle Xiang and the others now,”
Zhou Jia said with a smile..
