Chapter 93 Visiting Grandfather's House for New Year's Greetings
Even the skilled healer exclaimed that this girl's future destiny was exceptionally noble!
The servants in the Wang family's courtyard were even happier.
Their daughter knows how to pick auspicious days; she's destined for greatness!
Zhou Rui's wife, who was Lady Wang's maid, never stopped flattering Lady Wang.
When Grandmother Jia arrived, she looked at the tiny baby and felt a mix of emotions.
But she liked it more than anything. When she first heard about the future, Grandmother Jia was greatly shocked.
But knowing so much, she could understand why she did it back then. She had no other choice but to put all her eggs in one basket with her granddaughter.
But at this moment, her affection for this granddaughter was not mixed with any self-interest.
After hearing about my granddaughter's experience last night, I felt more sorry for the child.
As a woman herself, she knew the hardships women faced.
After regaining his composure, he gave Wang a few words of advice.
Grandmother Jia brought many precious tonics and gifts, for which Wang was deeply grateful.
Jia Daishan had gone to take care of something, but Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were getting restless. Why hadn't they been called over yet? It had been quite a while.
Jia Hu decided to take his younger brother over first to take a look, and if they didn't allow it, they would deal with it.
The two, accompanied by a large group of servants, ran to the Wang family's courtyard.
Upon reaching the door, those around Grandmother Jia also saw her and said:
"The two young masters have arrived. Things are a bit chaotic here," Jia Hu said.
"We've come to see our little sister."
The old woman laughed and said:
"The two young masters know how to care for their sisters."
After hearing the report, Grandmother Jia let them in.
After entering, Yuan Chun was now lying in her wet nurse's arms.
The two girls crowded around, eager to take a look, but Jia Zhu immediately showed her disdain after just one glance.
"Why is it different from what you said? My sister is so ugly."
It was also the first time Jia Hu had seen a newborn baby. The baby's skin was wrinkled, and he really couldn't imagine how elegant and noble Yuan Chun would become in the future.
Grandmother Jia and Madam Zhang laughed upon hearing this.
Grandmother Jia smiled and said:
"They all look like this when they first go out. You two looked like this when you were little too. As you grow up, you'll become more beautiful."
Seeing the two men's suspicious looks, Zhang smiled and said:
"When you two were born, you weren't as pretty as your little sister."
The wet nurse also smiled and said:
"That's right, all babies are like this when they are first born. I can tell from your eyes that Miss is definitely going to be a beauty."
Jia Hu looked her over and over again, but couldn't find anything about her that suggested she was a beauty in the making. However, he concluded that she would definitely grow up to be a great beauty.
Jia Zhu also lost hope in his younger sister and felt that his older brother was the most handsome.
He simply said to Xiao Yuanchun:
"Little sister must become beautiful. Look how handsome your brother is."
After saying that, he quickly added, "It doesn't matter if you're not pretty, your brother won't mind."
Little Jia Zhu's innocent words made everyone in the room laugh. Yuan Chun felt disturbed, and after a soft hum, she moved and went back to sleep.
Jia Zhu was still young. After glancing at the baby and losing interest, he pestered Jia Hu to leave.
Jia Hu felt he had seen it all, so he took Jia Zhu back with him.
Jia Zhu was still upset that his younger sister wasn't pretty the whole way.
Jia Hu was helpless. He didn't understand why Jia Zhu was so fixated on his sister's lack of beauty. He tapped Jia Zhu on the head and said:
“This is our little sister. No matter what, you can’t say that. She’s still young, and Grandma said she’ll be beautiful when she grows up.”
Jia Zhu completely trusted his elder brother's words.
"Brother, I just think my sister is a little ugly now. I don't dislike her. Whether she's ugly or beautiful, I will treat her well in the future."
Jia Hu nodded in satisfaction.
"As an older brother, you have a responsibility to protect your older and younger sisters. If you act like this, your younger sister will be sad if she hears it."
Furthermore, as a man, you shouldn't casually comment on a girl's appearance. Besides, your sister is still young; how can you know whether she'll be beautiful or ugly in the future?
Jia Hu knew that Jia Zhu was still young and had no concept of these things, but it was good to inform him in advance.
Little did they know that Jia Zhu had heard last night that his younger sister could become a concubine!
He didn't understand anything about the imperial court or anything like that, but he kept thinking that his younger sister must be very, very beautiful. But when he suddenly saw her today, he was a little disappointed.
The birth of Yuan-chun made those who knew about it grit their teeth with envy and resentment towards the Jia family.
What's wrong with the Jia family? They have such a capable grandson that even their maids are so good at picking the right day to marry.
The next day, Jia Hu was very happy after getting up because his father had told him the day before that he would be taken to his maternal grandfather's house today.
Married girls usually return to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
After getting up early in the morning, he was dressed up again. Jia Hu was already used to it. Since the beginning of the New Year, he had been dressed extra formally every day.
After packing everything up, he took a car full of gifts and went with his parents to his maternal grandparents' house.
When they arrived at the door, his eldest uncle was already waiting. Upon seeing Jia Hu, he immediately lifted him out of the car.
When asked if he missed his maternal uncle, his aunt caught Zhang, and the two of them went off hand in hand, chatting intimately.
Jia She touched his nose without saying a word, and then ordered someone to take the gifts inside.
Jia Hu called out "Father," and only then did his eldest uncle seem to notice him, laughing:
"My brother-in-law is here."
Jia She could only answer happily, not daring to show his anger, and smiled as he faced his brother-in-law.
However, there is still my understanding nephew.
Zhang Shiyan was also somewhat helpless. His father had instructed him beforehand not to talk to his uncle right away. What childish adults!
Zhang Shiyan stepped forward to greet them, easing the tension, and then everyone went into the courtyard.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Jia Hu's maternal grandfather, Zhang Heming, was already waiting there. He was delighted to see Jia Hu and came up to him.
He pinched Jia Hu's little face and said, "Hu'er, you're here. Did you miss your grandfather?"
Then, looking at Zhang with loving eyes, he said:
"Zhilan, come, come, don't stand, sit down first."
Zhang looked at her father and smiled, "I'm not tired. We're in a car, and the distance isn't far."
Sun pulled Zhang down to sit, saying, "If you're not tired, we'll feel so sorry for you."
Zhang sat down and smiled:
"Thank you very much, sister-in-law."
Zhang Heming held onto Jia Hu tightly, asking about his recent situation and then about his studies. After hearing Jia Hu's answer, he nodded in satisfaction and then instructed him not to overdo his studies, as he was still young.
Zhang Zhiyuan, the eldest uncle, watched his father's two different expressions from the side. His father had never told him this when he was a child.
