004 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Sitting on Brother’s Lap

On this day, the eldest son Zhao Xingyuan had just returned home, and before he could sit down for half a cup of tea, he went to Hanyuxuan to visit Zhao Shuyu.

He knew that this young girl was naturally restless and could not bear her temper.

It was okay for her to read and write, but Nv Hong, a female worker, was a mess. She wanted to run out with the third child all day long, and often encouraged the second child to take her out too.

If you don’t look carefully, you might be harmed by some slut from outside.

In fact, although Zhao Xingyuan was not at home often, he kept strict supervision over this little girl.

She didn’t like female celebrities but liked poetry, so she invited her husband to teach in the house.

The same gentleman who was invited was also personally visited by Zhao Xingyuan. He was Mr. Bai, a highly respected and knowledgeable man in Jinzhou City.

A separate courtyard was built next to the Zhao Mansion and a medium-sized study was built.

And because Zhao Shuyu wanted to study, the interior was built extremely luxuriously, with floor dragons, warm couches, screens, and low tables, all of which were made of the most precious materials.

Also considering that Mr. Bai was old and had to spend a lot of time teaching a group of half-grown young masters and ladies, he specially prepared a private room for people to rest, not only for the old gentleman, but also for the young masters and ladies who were studying.

The name of this study is also wonderful, Pinyu Zhai.

Outsiders think that a gentleman is as virtuous as jade, but only Miss Zhao Si knows the secret.

It is said that just after school today, Zhao Xingyuan came to Hanyuxuan to visit Zhao Shuyu. He was also thinking of checking the ward to see if the young girl had returned to the house obediently.

Unexpectedly, before he could sit down, the petite person rushed into his arms.

“Brother Xingyuan, Yu’er misses you so much. You haven’t come to see Yu’er for a long time.” Zhao Shu’s jade-white arms wrapped around Zhao Xingyuan’s neck and said coquettishly, “Brother Xingyuan doesn’t even miss Yu’er anymore.”

Zhao Xingyuan took advantage of the situation and hugged Jiao Jiao’er in his arms, looking at the bright red and tender little mouth pouting, the sparkling grape eyes blinking, the long eyelashes, the fair face was pink and watery from the trot just now, the twelve-year-old girl was still a little childish, but the smiles and gestures in her hands and feet were unconsciously charming.

“Nonsense, how could I not miss Xiao Yu’er? It’s just that because of the many things, I was delayed for a few days in Xuzhou. When I come back, I will come to see Xiao Yu’er first.”

Zhao Xingyuan kissed Zhao Shuyu’s forehead, his always cold and sharp eyebrows now overflowing with affection.

“Is Yu’er studying well?”

Zhao Shuyu was hugged by her brother, and she was very squeamish. “Yu’er is good at studying, but she is not good at people. In the past few days of spring, the second brother and the third brother have all gone out for an outing. There are polo and poetry parties one after another, but I don’t take Yu’er to play.”

As he spoke, his little mouth pouted again, “They all bully Yu’er.”

Zhao Xingjian saw this but smiled and said nothing, “Yu’er is too young. What if she is kidnapped and kidnapped when she goes out to show her face? Big brother promises you that in two years, when Yu’er reaches fourteen, you can go out and play happily again, okay?”

Zhao Shuyu knew that it was not easy to make Zhao Xingyuan relent. The Zhao family was headed by her eldest brother. As long as he didn’t nod, she would not be able to fly out of the Zhao family even if she had wings.

“But Yu’er is in this house every day, looking at the high-walled courtyard, and brother Xingyuan is often not at home. Yu’er is so lonely.”

Zhao Shuyu pouted and looked at Zhao Xingyuan expectantly and sadly, “When brother Xingyuan goes out to do errands, please take Yu’er with you, okay?”

Facing this delicate and soft pleading voice, Zhao Xingyuan looked at the little girl he had pampered since childhood. The frail and boneless body was twisting and turning in his arms. It was so fragrant and soft that even a saint could not sit still in his arms.
