Chapter 476 - 254 Jinjin_2
Eunuch Li, who was over forty years old, was an elderly servant by Princess Ning’s side. He had come especially to visit Qian Yeejin and Qian Yixiu, conveying Princess Ning’s wishes for their happy birthdays and for everything to go their way. The boy’s studies were getting better and the girl was becoming prettier...
Eunuch Li was very excited, his voice high-pitched and somewhat trembling as he spoke, his eyes eagerly fixed on Qian Yeejin. Even when he blessed Qian Yixiu, his gaze would drift towards Qian Yeejin.
After all, Yixiu wasn’t really a little girl and knew that Qian Yeejin wasn’t a child of the Qian family. Seeing Eunuch Li’s expression and thinking about Princess Ning’s enthusiasm for her own family, even if father had been a close confidant of Prince Ning, would that warrant such concern for both of their children?
Her heart skipped a beat, and looking again at Qian Yeejin, she thought, could it be that he was Prince Ning’s son? If that were the case, the little boy would be a prince, and he would at least become a prince of the blood in the future. Her own family would indeed have climbed a great tree...
Thinking deeper, if the little boy was Prince Ning’s son, wouldn’t that make him her cousin? Although the relationship was distant, she did indeed share a cousinly connection...
The Qian family was very enthusiastic towards these guests, with Qian Sangui and Wan Dazhong accompanying them to drink and keeping them to stay in the front yard for two days.
On the second day of April, Wan Dazhong’s family invited the Qian family, the Zhang family, and Mr. Yu for a meal, and the three people who had brought birthday gifts were also included.
Before the meal, Mr. Yu had Qian Yeejin write a piece in large characters. Qian Yeejin’s calligraphy, having been inherited from Mr. Yu, was elegant and spirited, naturally earning great admiration from everyone present.
Afterward, Wan Dazhong put him to the test in martial arts. Qian Yeejin had been practicing boxing and martial arts under Qian Sangui’s guidance since he was young and later under Wan Dazhong’s instruction as well. His martial arts were not bad, earning applause from the crowd.
After training, he was drenched in sweat and changed into fresh clothes.
What Qian Yeejin didn’t know was that the next morning, Eunuch Li took the calligraphy he had written and the set of clothes soaked with sweat back to Capital City.
On the evening of April fifth, just before dinner, Monkey Brother returned with the House of Animals. They also brought two pitch-black little birds back with them as gifts for Qian Yeejin and Qian Yixiu, one for each. The little birds flapped their wings and cooed.
