The child walked up to the bamboo couch where Qiao Chu was lying, and bowed: "This must be Mrs. Chen. My name is Zhao Jiu, and I am Zhao Xiang's ninth brother. It was my brother who asked me to come to you.
"
"Is something wrong?" Qiao Chu could tell at a glance that although this child was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was not an ordinary person. He spoke and acted in a measured manner, with a natural nobility. Although he was modest, he was very confident.
"I came to see my brother, but my brother has been too busy recently and has no time to talk to me. My brother said, let me live in the Chen family. Don't worry, Mrs. Chen, we will pay for the room and food." Zhao Jiu explained, behind him
The guard handed over a banknote with both hands.
A small hand stretched out from the side, took the banknote, and then exclaimed: "One hundred taels? How long do you want to stay? Are there any special requirements for food?"
It was Qiao Xiaofu who had just closed the shop and gone home to prepare for dinner.
Zhao Jiu turned to look over and met Qiao Xiaofu's shining eyes. He was stunned for a moment before replying: "No, as long as you can live there. Can we just treat it as a month's food and accommodation expenses for the time being? If it's not enough, we'll pay for it."
This little girl’s eyes are so bright! Is she attracted by this prince’s noble temperament?!
"Enough is enough! The usual food and accommodation should be enough."
Qiao Xiaofu looked at Zhao Jiu with a silvery look: "Since you are Zhao Xiang's younger brother, then you should live in the house next door to Zhao Xiang!"
After finishing speaking, Qiao Xiaofu suddenly remembered that Qiao Chu was next to him, and then he realized: he was so excited when he saw the money that he went so far as to agree to keep the person!
Qiao Xiaofu blushed and looked at Qiao Chu: "Auntie, do you think it's okay?"
Qiao Chu couldn't help laughing: "Okay."
It seems that Miss Qiao's habit of getting excited when she sees money can never be changed in this life!
After being led into the room, Zhao Jiu came out in disbelief and pointed to the room next to the stable: "You mean, this is my fifth brother's room?"
"Yeah!" Qiao Xiaofu didn't understand where Zhao Jiu's disbelief came from.
"He...he lives next to the stable?" Zhao Jiu pointed to the shed where Black Horse Liuliang stayed.
Qiao Xiaofu nodded again: "Yes! He likes Liuliang, so he is willing to live next door to Liuliang."
"This horse's name is Liuliang?" Zhao Jiu looked at the stern and cold black horse and was successfully diverted.
"Yes! He likes Liuliang, but Liuliang won't let strangers touch him and even kicks him, so he wants to have a good relationship with Liuliang, so he becomes a neighbor first..." Qiao Xiaofu said, reaching out to touch Liuliang.
Two horse faces.
Qiao Xiaofu was too short, so Liu Liang lowered his head considerately so that Qiao Xiaofu could rub his face.
"..." Zhao Jiu: Since you are so cold, why are you so mean to you?!
But this horse looks really good, its fur is smooth and smooth, tall and handsome...it looks a little familiar?!
Zhao Jiu reached out to touch Liuliang, and Liuliang changed his face in a second. Not only did he turn his face away, he also turned around and gave Zhao Jiu a slap in the face!
Zhao Jiu: "!!!"
Qiao Xiaofu felt that Liu Liang had given him a face, so he happily shouted: "Liu Liang!"
The unruly horse turned back in a second, acted coquettishly at Qiao Xiaofu again, and sent the horse's face over to beg for masturbation.
"I said, my horses are not allowed to be touched by strangers." Qiao Xiaofu raised his chin proudly.
Zhao Jiu was really envious now. After thinking about it, he said generously: "Okay, then I'll live next door to my fifth brother!" If we get closer, as time goes by, maybe we can touch that duplicitous horse like this?!
The guard next to him resisted the urge to slap his forehead: His Royal Highness is so damn eager to win...
So Zhao Jiu settled in Chen's house, right next to the stables.
Zhao Jiu met Mr. Dongfang the next day.
The moment their eyes met, Mr. Dongfang thought he had seen it wrong, and rubbed his eyes: When he wanted Mr. Dongfang to be the Crown Prince, Mr. Dongfang had actually met His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhao Jiu, however, had already bowed very respectfully: "I've met you sir. Long time no see. I wonder how you are doing, sir? How is your wife's health now?"
Now Mr. Dongfang confirmed that he was right, but when he looked at the three little ones who behaved casually, he was still confused: "Why are you here?"
"My father heard that your husband has adopted a adopted son and will hold a family recognition banquet in the near future, so he asked the students to come over to congratulate the husband. He also asked the students to come over and study with him." Zhao Jiu's answer was still respectful.
Qiao Xiaofu listened on the sidelines, curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Liar!"
She said she was looking for her brother, but it turned out she was looking for her grandfather!
Zhao Jiu heard it, but in front of his husband, Zhao Jiu did not dare to argue with Qiao Xiaofu because his tutor did not allow it.
So His Highness the Crown Prince could only endure it and planned to talk to Qiao Xiaofu about this matter after school was over.
Chen Qingshan was free today and came over soon. The first and fourth grade students studied together with Mr. Dongfang until lunch time.
The three younger students really felt the difference between them and classmate Zhao Jiu: Zhao Jiu was very knowledgeable, and the questions he asked were also very high-level and in-depth, and he obviously thought carefully.
Qiao Xiaofu's thinking jumped and he asked questions one by one. Although Qiao Erlu was rigorous in thinking, his knowledge was limited and he couldn't open up the situation on some things.
Baby Qiao Sanshou is only interested in eating and playing, and is not interested in learning.
Zhao Jiu is different. He has been trained as a prince since he was a child. What he wants is to have an overall view of the world. So after one morning, not only the three young ones, but also Chen Qingshan's eyes were opened!
Mr. Dongfang secretly sighed in his heart: His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a good seedling, mature and stable, and has been trained quite well... Well... not counting the fact that he and Qiao Xiaofu murmured and quarreled down below from time to time.
After class, Qiao Xiaofu stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Jiu's back collar: "Follow me!"
The guard was startled and subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Mr. Dongfang's look.
It was the first time in Zhao Jiu's life that he was pinched like this, and his whole body turned upside down: "Alas, alas... let go! Let go! Let go!"
"You liar! You said it was your fifth brother who asked you to come to our house, but it turned out that you fell in love with your grandfather!"
"What am I? If you tell me nicely, I can bring you to see your grandfather, okay? But you didn't tell me that you were my grandfather's student, and you lied to me that you were here to visit my grandfather today..." Qiao Xiaofu continued to output,
His tone was full of anger and grievance.
"I just..." His Royal Highness is too weak to protect himself...
"Just what? My aunt didn't even want you to live there, or I thought you were pitiful, so I softened my heart and let you live in our house, but you turned out to be a liar!" Qiao Xiaofu became angrier as he spoke, with an angry look on his round face.
, there were still faint tears in his eyes.
"I was wrong..." His Royal Highness was defeated by Qiao Xiaofu's tears and gave up his defense.
"If you know you were wrong, you should correct it! You should apologize!"
"Okay, how do you want to apologize?" His Royal Highness became more and more defeated and surrendered.
"From today on, I will study with my grandfather in the morning and go to the shop with me to entertain guests in the afternoon!" Qiao Xiaofu said immediately.
"Shop? Entertain guests? But I don't know how..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only entertained civil servants and generals with the emperor in the past.
"You don't want to apologize?" Qiao Xiaofu's eyes widened again.
"I'm going! I'm going, I'm going...don't hold back..." His Royal Highness was defeated again.
