Chapter 116 You Can Be a Little Bolder
Jia Zheng genuinely had no thoughts on the matter. Having learned so much over this period of time, his thinking had become much more open, his horizons had broadened, and his entire demeanor had changed.
Grandmother Jia was satisfied.
"That's very true. It's no exaggeration to say that Hu'er is our family's savior and will achieve great things in the future."
After they finished speaking, everyone dispersed. Jia Daishan wanted to see his grandson, so he came over directly.
Jia Hu also received the news and was somewhat disappointed to hear that the female elders were not coming. He owned three estates and could have arranged for his grandmothers to visit one of them, which would have made everyone happy. It seemed that he would have to wait for another opportunity.
The Crown Prince was incredibly efficient. As soon as he left the Imperial Study, he sent someone to deliver gifts, including not only an estate but also many other rewards, including three sets of fine writing implements, clearly intended for the Jia family's children.
Jia Hu thought that tomorrow was the men's gathering, so it was fine.
As soon as Jia Hu turned his head, he saw Jia Zhu's bright eyes. Goodness, his adorable little brother was still awake, lying stiffly.
Jia Hu found it amusing, and reached out to pinch it.
"Have you been acupunctured? You're so obedient."
Jiazhu was soft and fluffy, like a little milk cake.
"Brother, let me sleep, don't move."
"Fine, you're the one who's accusing me first, aren't you? I never said you'd stay still."
After Jia Hu finished speaking, he started tickling Jia Zhu.
Jia Zhu couldn't help but burst into laughter, calling out to his brother, and went to tickle Jia Hu as well.
The two of them were making a ruckus, and it was only because the room was warm that they were doing this; otherwise, they would definitely have gotten sick tomorrow.
As soon as Jia Daishan reached the door, he heard the laughter of his two grandsons and smiled.
When Dongyun saw Jia Daishan approaching, she quickly bowed. Jia Daishan raised his hand to stop her, quietly entered the room, looked at his grandson who was making a fuss on the bed, coughed sternly, and said:
"Still asleep."
Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were startled and reflexively lay down. Jia Hu saw his grandfather's smiling face and knew that his grandfather was teasing them.
"Grandfather, Grandfather, what brings you here?"
Jia Hu and Jia Zhu stood up and asked.
Jia Daishan stepped forward, pressing one down with each hand and covering them with blankets.
"Cover yourself up, what if you catch a cold?"
Jia Hu touched his face somewhat embarrassedly.
"Grandfather, it's so warm inside."
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"It can't be warm either, since it's winter after all."
Jia Hu and Jia Zhu obediently listened to him. Jia Daishan looked at his little grandson lying there, looking at him with bright, adoring eyes, and his heart was full of joy.
He said in a low voice:
"I just came to see you guys, who knew you were still awake? But you're so excited about going out to play tomorrow?"
After Jia Daishan visited Jia Hu, he knew that his grandson was truly willing and had not been forced, so he was relieved.
Jia Hu laughed and said:
"Yes, yes, Grandfather, tomorrow is our men's gathering."
Upon hearing this, Jia Daishan burst out laughing.
"Little brat, stop being a man!"
Seeing their grandfather's undisguised smile and hearing his words, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were unwilling; no matter how young they were, they were still men.
Seeing that the two were so talkative, Jia Daishan decided to try and appease them.
"Alright, alright, you're a man, aren't you, young man?"
Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were satisfied. Jia Daishan didn't want to run away anymore, so he sent someone to prepare things, and after washing up, he prepared to sleep in Pear Fragrance Courtyard.
After washing up, Jia Daishan didn't go to any other bedroom, but slept in the same bed with Jia Hu and the others.
Jia Daishan slept on the side, and Jia Hu slept in the middle. It was the first time that Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were sleeping in the same bed with their grandfather. Jia Hu, in particular, thought that he would definitely not be used to it and would not be able to sleep. Who knew that his grandfather's words, "Go to sleep," seemed to have a magical power, and he actually fell asleep.
Jia Hu slept soundly through the night. When he woke up, he saw that his grandfather was already up and reading a book. Upon seeing Jia Hu, he smiled and said:
"woke up."
Jia Hu had just woken up and was still a little dazed, so he greeted her in a soft and cute way.
Jia Daishan smiled and put down the book, remaining silent until Jia Hu came to his senses.
Jia Hu was drowsy for a while, and when he came to, he lazily stretched. At this moment, Jia Zhu also woke up, snuggled up to him, and greeted his brother with his eyes half open.
Even the usually cold and hard Jia Daishan felt his heart soften at this moment.
Jia Hu regained consciousness, touched his younger brother's face, and said:
"You should say hello to your grandfather."
Jia Zhu then realized that her grandfather had also slept here last night. She raised her little face and greeted Jia Daishan sweetly.
Jia Daishan smiled and nodded, "You're awake, so get up quickly. We're going out to play today."
As soon as they heard about going out to play, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu immediately woke up. Jia Zhu stuck out his little bottom and got up. Dong Yun had already been waiting with people. When she saw her master get up, she came in to help him start washing up.
After Jia Hu finished washing up, Jia Daishan handed him a box.
“Your grandmother gave this to you. Open it and take a look.”
Jia Hu looked at the exquisite box, carefully opened it, and found several sheets of paper inside. He picked them up, glanced at them, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Grandfather, this is from Grandmother."
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"Yes, your grandmother gave it to you herself."
Jia Hu felt a warm glow in his heart, a sense of satisfaction. His family knew what he had done, and they were worried that he would feel wronged. The Crown Prince had given him two estates, his grandmother had given him two as well, and they had even given him two more shops. Jia Hu was speechless for a moment.
Jia Hu tried hard to suppress the emotions welling up inside him, and put on a big smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. This is a two-way journey!"
Looking at his little grandson, whose eyes were red, Jia Daishan hugged Jia Hu and said:
"Hu'er, you can try to trust that we are all behind you. You can be bolder."
Jia Hu couldn't hold back his tears. Knowing all the secrets by one person was indeed tiring.
Jia Zhu had just gone to the latrine. When he returned, he saw his grandfather holding his older brother, and then he saw that his brother was crying. He immediately panicked.
"Brother, brother, why are you crying? Who bullied you!"
Jia Zhu clenched her little fists, angry.
Jia Hu quickly wiped away his tears and said:
"Who's crying? My brother isn't crying!"
Jia Hu felt somewhat helpless. Why did his younger brother always seem to bully him, even though he was clearly a very strong fighter?
Jia Zhu circled around Jia Hu, trying to look into Jia Hu's eyes.
"I saw it all! Brother, I'll avenge you!"
Jia Hu also circled around to prevent him from seeing.
"I told you, I didn't cry. You're mistaken. If you keep doing this, I won't take you anymore!"
Jia Zhu:
“I’m not afraid. If my brother won’t take care of me, my grandfather will.”
As he said this, Jia Zhu didn't look again. He decided to give his brother face and pretend he hadn't seen anything.
Jia Daishan watched his two grandsons playing around and said with a smile, "Alright, let's get ready to have breakfast."
"Big brother, little brother, I've missed you both so much!"
Before we even saw anyone, we heard shouts.
