Chapter 735 - 356 Relatives_2
The two little ones smiled so brightly their eyes curved, and they stood in a row to look at their cousin.
After the adults gathered around the crib to see the child, Lady Wu and Pan Yue finally sat down by the edge of the kang bed, while the Little Monk took a seat on the chair.
The conversation initially revolved around the children, with Pan Yue even personally making a set of clothes for the two little ones. The golden "fortune" character embroidery on the red garments, crafted with the Peach Needle technique, was beautiful and had a three-dimensional effect, perfect for wearing at the birthday banquet.
Qian Yixiu liked it very much and couldn’t help but say, "Mother, such needlework is very laborious, you’ve worked hard."
Pan Yue smiled and said, "They are my grandchildren, I’m happy to make it for them, I don’t feel it’s hard work at all."
The Little Monk also gifted the pair of little nephews two small Pixiu carved from rosewood as a meeting present.
Latter, the conversation turned to Princess Jiaqian, her daughters, and Zhu Sujin. Lady Wu and Pan Yue began to wipe away tears with their hankies, and the Little Monk sighed as well.
As dusk fell and thinking that Zhu Sujin would soon be there, they had the crib moved back into the bedroom and asked the two little siblings to go to the bedroom to see their little cousin.
When it was completely dark, Liang Jinzhao led Zhu Sujin to the house.
Zhu Sujin was dressed in a black brocade robe patterned with clouds; on his head, he wore a simple white jade hairpin, his face melancholic, his lips pressed into a thin line, and a faint black circle visible around his mouth. The high school student looked thinned, even his shoulders seemed to droop.
Ancients matured early, and Zhu Sujin, having grown tall, had also married a few wives. Qian Yixiu often mistook him for an adult. But today, seeing him, she realized he was still a teenager, a high school student. Her heart ached for him even more, her eyes reddened without her realizing.
Zhu Sujin had only been told that Hongji would be invited, and had not expected Lady Wu and Pan Yue to be there, which left him momentarily stunned.
