Chapter 346 Zhou Ge'er Complains About His Father
Early the next morning, at the gate of the capital city
Wen Zongji was genuinely surprised to see the sharp-eyed, alert imperial guards standing before him.
The eldest princess lifted the carriage curtain and said, "When His Majesty learned that we were going out for a trip, he sent the Imperial Guards to protect us. With the Imperial Guards around, we can be more at ease on our journey."
Wen Zongji nodded: "It is indeed safe and secure."
It's just too flashy.
With fully armed soldiers guarding them on both sides, anyone could tell that this team was no ordinary group.
Since it was Emperor Shun'an who made the arrangement, Wen Zongji naturally couldn't say anything.
Yu Yu directly handed over the management of the team; the other party was the commander of the Imperial Guards, so he was definitely more professional than him.
Sitting in the carriage, Wen Zongqi and his family looked at the imperial guards on both sides of the convoy and said smugly, "I was smart, wasn't I? It's so safe to travel with Third Brother."
Chen Xiu Nian, who came from the Wuxin Marquis's family, was well aware of the weight and capabilities of the Imperial Guards, and had a new understanding of the relationship between Emperor Shun'an and the Eldest Princess.
Zhou Ge'er excitedly peeked out the car window: "Wow, so many people!"
The poor child has hardly ever left the mansion.
Last time, he finally managed to leave the mansion with Wen Zongqi, but because Wen Zongqi was unreliable, he bumped his head and got hurt. Chen Xiu Nian then refused to let him leave the mansion again.
Zhou Ge'er is the most excited about this two-month trip.
On the other side, in Wen Zongji's carriage
Rui Ge'er and Ling Jie'er were taken away by the Eldest Princess, and only Wen Zongji and Pei Rujing were in the carriage.
The two looked at each other and laughed: "Since we had two little ones, we've had less and less time to spend alone with each other."
When Rui was born, things were fine; the two of them could still take the child out to play from time to time. But after Ling was born, their time together as a couple was completely gone.
Wen Zongji put his arm around Pei Rujing and said, "With your mother-in-law here, the two little ones shouldn't have a chance to bother us. I'll accompany you for a walk around."
Pei Rujing raised an eyebrow at him: "I persuaded Mother to come along because I genuinely wanted her to enjoy the trip. How did it come out of your mouth, husband, as if she's just here to look after our child?"
"It's all the same. My mother-in-law likes Rui-ge and Ling-jie. If you don't let her take care of them, she'll probably be unhappy."
After all, the reason they persuaded the princess to come along was that the two little ones were too difficult to manage and needed the princess's help to take care of them.
To put it bluntly, the eldest princess is here to help take care of the children.
Pei Rujing leaned against Wen Zongji's chest: "That's not how it works."
"Alright, alright... Jiangnan is a water town, even within the city there are rivers. We can rent a boat and row around to enjoy the scenery. It will definitely be a unique experience."
Pei Rujing was tempted by his words: "Okay."
……
With a clear destination in mind, they did not linger along the way except for necessary accommodations and rest, and within a few days they boarded a ship bound for Jiangnan.
They chartered two boats, one to carry people and the other to carry a convoy.
They had had their fill of fun in Jiangnan, and they wanted to go to other places, so they couldn't just abandon their carriage.
Moreover, their team was too large, making the boat too crowded.
As soon as they boarded the boat, Zhou Ge'er ran over to Rui Ge'er to play: "Third Brother, is this a boat? This is my first time on a boat. Have you ever been on a boat before, Third Brother?"
Rui Ge'er nodded: "My parents took us on that ride before."
"That's great," Zhou Ge'er said enviously. "My father never takes me with him when he goes out of the manor, and my mother has too many things to do, so she doesn't take me out of the manor either."
I don't know if it's because he's been cooped up at home, but Zhou Ge'er has a great talent for language. He's only two years old and he can express himself very well. He's also very talkative.
For example, right now.
"Third brother, my father listens to mother in everything. If mother doesn't let him take me out of the manor, he doesn't dare to, he doesn't even dare to sneak around. He has no backbone at all."
Rui Ge'er's lips twitched: "Zhou Ge'er, don't talk nonsense. Your uncle loves your aunt, he's not spineless."
Zhou Ge'er tilted his head, puzzled, and said, "But that's what I heard others say."
"They're talking nonsense!" Rui Ge'er said. "My father said that a man who loves and respects his wife is a true man. Those men who have no ability and only know how to throw tantrums and act tough on their wives when they get home are spineless and weak."
"Oh, my father never tries to show off in front of my mother, he wouldn't dare."
Zhou Ge'er is dedicated to complaining about his own father.
"That uncle is a truly upright and honorable man!"
Rui Ge'er affirmed.
Zhou Ge'er exclaimed in surprise, "Is my father really that amazing?"
Wen Zongqi, who had been eavesdropping for a while, slapped Zhou Ge'er on the back of the head with a dark face: "I've always been awesome!"
Zhou Ge'er let out a cry of "Ouch!" and muttered a few words, which were probably not pleasant.
Wen Zongqi glared at him, then turned to look at Rui Ge'er, his expression immediately softening: "The first time I met Rui Ge'er, I felt that we uncle and nephew were destined to be together. Sure enough, you understand your uncle best."
puff-
Pei Rujing couldn't help but laugh: "Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother is quite interesting."
Her impression of Wen Zongqi had always been that he was irresponsible and unreliable, but looking back now, it's quite amusing.
Chen Xiu Nian sighed, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Third Sister-in-law."
Yes, Pei Rujing did smile.
Wen Zongji walked over and pulled Wen Zongqi away: "How old are you? Don't argue with a child. Come on, come on, don't get in my way."
"Rui and I hit it off immediately, Third Brother, please don't interfere with our brotherly bonding."
Wen Zongji's brow twitched: "Who are you calling brothers?! Don't you have any manners as an elder?"
"Hahaha--"
Pei Rujing laughed even harder.
Chen Xiu Nian turned her head away, pretending not to know Wen Zong Qi, her teeth itching with rage, thinking she would teach him a lesson when no one was around.
Zhou Ge'er looked at Wen Zongji's back and said, "Third Brother, I like Third Uncle. He understands me the best."
He had just felt that his own father was an eyesore.
Rui-ge understood what Zhou-ge meant, but being gentle and considerate, he didn't want to expose Wen Zongqi and make him lose face, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "There are usually fish in the water, we might see some fish in a little while."
"Goldfish?"
The Marquis's residence has a pond with many goldfish, which he has even fed himself.
Rui shook his head: "No, it's the kind of fish that you can eat."
Zhou Ge'er's eyes lit up immediately: "Food? Live fish? I want to see!"
Zhou Ge'er deliberately widened his eyes and stared intently at the water's surface, trying to catch the sight of the fish jumping out.
After staring at it for a while, my eyes hurt, but I still couldn't see it.
"Third Brother, when will the fish come out?"
Rui Ge'er wasn't sure either: "It might take a while."
"But my eyes hurt."
"Close your eyes, and open them when the pain stops."
"But what if we miss it?"
"I'm watching. If a fish appears, I'll let you know."
"Third brother, you're so kind."
Zhou Ge'er silently moved Rui Ge'er to the top of his heart.
Wen Zongqi has dropped one place again!
