Chapter 88 They Just Look Alike
Feeling the weight of the milk jug, Xu Yaoyao's eyes lit up again.
There's milk in it!
I don't know what kind of milk it is?
Try it?
Xu Yaoyao couldn't wait to put the milk bottle into her mouth and started sucking hard.
After gulping down the milk, the little guy's eyes became brighter.
【It’s milk! 】
[It’s been a long time since I tasted milk! ]
[This delicate taste, this silky touch, this rich milky aroma, is so delicious! ]
[Mother, I love you so much! ]
[You are absolutely my real mother, absolutely true! ]
Princess Chaoyang: Guaranteed authenticity?
Yuan Xiang looked at Xu Yaoyao holding the small milk bottle and drinking with a satisfied look on her face, and couldn't help but joked: "It seems that the little princess likes this small milk bottle very much."
Princess Chaoyang looked at Xu Yaoyao with a smile, "Yes, I won't have to feed him myself in the future. The little guy won't be hungry anywhere."
While the two were talking, Xu Yaoyao had already finished the pot of milk.
The two little hands held the milk jug and shook it. After finding that there was indeed no milk in it, the little hands holding the milk jug reached out to Yuan Xiang again.
Yuan Xiang looked over the milk jug and found Xu Yaoyao looking at her eagerly, as if saying: Give me another jug.
Yuan Xiang couldn't resist her cute little appearance. She took the milk jug and wanted to fill it with milk for her, but Princess Chaoyang shook her head to stop her.
Princess Chaoyang looked at Xu Yaoyao's bulging belly and said helplessly, "You can't drink any more now, or you'll vomit milk again."
Xu Yaoyao's bright eyes dimmed in an instant.
[The baby is not allowed to eat chicken legs or drink milk. It is really hard for him! 】
[Woo~]
Princess Chaoyang: Be good, mother is doing this for your own good.
Princess Chaoyang took another look at Xu Yaoyao's round belly and handed her to Yuan Xiang.
"Let her digest the food first, and then coax her to sleep when her belly is smaller."
Yuan Xiang nodded, carried Yaoyao to the crib, and played with her.
Thinking of my second brother’s crisis.
The thought of drinking milk is no longer enjoyable.
Xu Yaoyao became more and more sad and did not sleep well the whole night.
The next day.
The whole imperial capital was spreading the news.
A fire broke out in Mr. Peng's house last night, causing countless casualties, and even Mr. Peng himself was burned to death.
The scene was truly horrific.
Xu Jinhuai, who had just come out of court, listened to the discussions of passers-by and a hint of cruelty flashed across his lips.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage and told the driver outside, "Don't go back home yet, go to Zhuyan Hall."
"Yes, Prince Consort." The driver immediately changed direction and drove towards another road.
When Xu Jinhuai arrived at Zhuyan Hall, it was just three quarters past noon and the hall had not yet opened.
He waited in the carriage for a long time, until two quarters past nine, when the door of Zhuyan Hall was opened.
Seeing someone coming out, Xu Jinhuai got off the carriage immediately.
He walked towards the woman who was hanging the sign and asked, "Excuse me, are you from Zhuyan Hall?"
The woman turned around and saw Xu Jinhuai in his official uniform. She quickly greeted him and said, "Yes, I am Lian Niang, the shopkeeper of Zhuyan Hall. May I ask what you may do for me, sir?"
Xu Jinhuai was a little surprised.
Seeing that Lian Niang was only seventeen or eighteen years old, she had already become the shopkeeper of Zhuyan Hall. After being stunned for a moment, he said politely, "It's not an order, but I just want to meet the owner of your Zhuyan Hall."
Lian Niang unconsciously looked at Xu Jinhuai's official uniform and asked, "What does the Lord want to talk to our boss about?"
Xu Jinhuai smiled and said, "My wife heard that your boss is very knowledgeable about rouge and powder, so she wants him to personally recommend a few boxes of rouge. I wonder if that would be convenient for you?"
He is still not sure that the owner of Zhuyan Hall is his son Xu Size, so he wants to find a reasonable reason to meet him.
After all, he still didn't know who was behind the owner of Zhuyan Hall, and he was afraid that it was a big shot whom he couldn't afford to offend.
"Of course it is convenient, please come in, sir." After hearing this, Lian Niang hurriedly welcomed Xu Jinhuai into the store.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and invite our host to come down."
Seeing Lian Niang going upstairs, Xu Jinhuai began to look around the entire Zhuyan Hall.
He discovered that although Zhuyan Tang was a rouge shop, it was very large, and the decoration and layout inside were extremely exquisite and luxurious, and the merchandise was so dazzling that it was overwhelming.
If you want to open a shop like this, the capital required must be huge.
If the owner of Zhuyan Hall is really Xu Size, where did he get the money?
Could it be related to the background that Mr. Peng mentioned?
His son was sent to the Jade Noodle House by him and Yu Yue'er since he was a child. How could he have such a strong background?
Could it be that the owner of Zhuyan Hall is really not Xu Size?
Just when Xu Jinhuai was full of doubts, a young man in a light blue robe slowly walked down from upstairs, followed by Lian Niang who had just come upstairs.
He looked carefully and found that the young man's profile really looked like his son Xu Size.
Xu Jinhuai's eyes lit up.
Could he really be his son? !
When the young man saw Xu Jinhuai in official uniform, he hurriedly took a few quick steps forward.
He bowed and saluted, "Sir, I am the owner of Zhuyan Hall. What instructions do you have for me?"
Xu Jinhuai wanted to take another closer look at the boy's face.
He smiled and said, "No need to be polite, I just came to buy some rouge and powder for my wife at home."
After the young man raised his head, Xu Jinhuai quickly fixed his gaze on his face.
After just a few glances, deep disappointment flashed across Xu Jinhuai's eyes.
Although this young man and Xu Size's profile are extremely similar, when viewed from the front, the two men do not look the same, at most they are only slightly similar.
In addition, his voice, manner and temperament were completely different from his son.
He was sure that the person in front of him was not his son Xu Size.
It seems that Yu Yue'er had indeed seen it wrong.
I guess Yu Yue'er only saw his profile at that time.
Thinking about how Yu Yue'er had caused so much trouble because of her blindness and how she had also injured Xu Ruyu's heart, Xu Size felt a surge of anger in his chest.
"Why are you looking at me like that, sir?" Seeing that Xu Jinhuai's gaze was still on his face, the young man asked in confusion.
Xu Jinhuai quickly looked away and said awkwardly, "I just thought you looked a bit like an old friend of mine."
“It’s such an honor,” the boy said with a smile.
"I wonder what your Excellency would like to buy for your wife?" the young man asked.
"Rouge." Xu Jinhuai blurted out.
The young man led Xu Jinhuai to the innermost row of cabinets and introduced them with a smile: "These are all new products in our shop. Each one is very useful. You may want to take a look."
Xu Jinhuai had not come here to buy anything, but now that he was in a dilemma, he had no choice but to randomly pick a box of rouge, pay and leave.
Lian Niang sent Xu Huai to the door and watched Xu Jinhuai get on the carriage before turning back to the shop.
"Boss, why do you look so different today than before?" Lian Niang looked at Xu Size again, guessing that he didn't want to be recognized by the person just now.
Xu Size glanced at Lian Niang calmly, "Haven't you already guessed it?"
Lian Niang asked worriedly, "But what if that gentleman comes again in the future?"
