Chapter 191 Each has its own arrangements
If the princess's previous words were considered as polite remarks to show her magnanimity and kindness.
Now these two sentences were spoken seriously to King Dingbei, so they could no longer be regarded as casual compliments.
It turns out that Princess Du's love for Zhao'er is real.
This thought of envy and jealousy came to everyone's mind at the same time.
Jin Chu hurriedly stood up and thanked him: "My sister and I all know how well the princess treats Zhao'er, but we are insignificant after all, so we really don't dare to have any improper thoughts."
Prince Dingbei's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment he laughed out loud, "It's hard to believe that the princess likes this child. If Jin-ya-chan doesn't mind, then we can adopt Zhao-er as our adopted son."
He actually agreed!
Jinchu hurriedly declined again: "Your Highness and Princess have shown such kindness and grace. My sister and I are deeply honored. However, my sister and I are new to this precious land. In addition, Zhao'er is still young and has an unstable mind. If he does not become a talented person in the future, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the palace.
"After all, time is long. The prince and princess have plenty of time to slowly get to know Zhao'er. If they still like him by then, it won't be too late to recognize him then. For now, let's put this matter aside!"
The future is too far away. If Zhao'er really becomes the princess's adopted son, there will naturally be many benefits.
But Jin Chu felt that with his own abilities, he could still protect Zhao'er and let her grow up safely. Although the Dingbei Palace seemed to be full of flowers and splendor, there was no lack of intrigue inside.
Zhao'er is still young and inexperienced, and can't resist the intrigues behind the palace.
She and her third brother had to join the game and attach themselves to King Dingbei in order to avenge their family. How could she let her younger brother get involved in it?
Although it was an excuse, Jin Chu's words were sincere and heartfelt.
If other families encountered such a good thing, they would definitely be grateful and agree immediately. However, Jin girl did not hesitate to completely reject this great blessing in the eyes of the world. Although she was young, she had a clear mind.
Prince Dingbei was pleased, and his gaze towards Jinchu softened slightly. "Although we have good intentions, what Jin-chan says is not without reason. Zhao'er is still young, and he's new here. If you truly adopt him as your adopted son, given our family's status, we'll naturally have to socialize. He's at school age now, so a simpler life is better."
Princess Du lowered her eyes and smiled to herself, "Your Highness, now that you mention it, I've indeed been inconsiderate."
"Arui, if you like Zhao'er, you can ask him to come to Hanzhang Court to accompany you more often in the future. After all, we live in the same mansion, so it will be cheaper to take care of him. When the child is a few years older, if you still have this intention, we can officially adopt him."
"Your Highness is right. So, let's do as you say!"
Princess Du turned to Zhao'er and coaxed her, "Zhao'er, you must come and accompany your aunt more often in the future. Your aunt will prepare delicious food for you."
Zhao'er hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Su Cheng'an went to the military camp outside the city and would not be back today. After Jinchu and her two siblings accompanied the prince and princess to have a welcoming banquet, they had a clear path to meet the two masters of the palace.
During the meal, the topic of Zhao'er's studies was also discussed. The prince waved his hand and arranged for him to be enrolled in the best private school in Youyun City, and agreed to arrange for Zhao'er to become a disciple and enroll in school three days later.
After dinner, Jin Chu returned to Mancuixuan with satisfaction. A smart maid had already prepared a high bed with soft pillows for them. After the three of them washed up, they went to bed.
The next morning, Jinchu had just gotten up when Huanyan and Zhaoer came to her room.
"Sister, can I study again?" Although he knew that the prince had arranged a private school for him last night, the little guy couldn't help but ask again excitedly.
Zhao'er was quite talented in studying. On the one hand, it was due to his innate ability to recite what he heard and remember everything he saw. On the other hand, it was closely related to his good study habits of being down-to-earth and focused.
In addition, every time he achieved good results, he would receive praise from his teacher and sister, which made the little guy gradually become a good child who could and loved to learn.
Jinchu originally thought that it would take some time for Zhaoer to be able to successfully enroll in school, but she never expected that she would have a school to attend as soon as she arrived. She was very happy.
She repeated to Zhao'er what King Dingbei had promised last night, and the little guy sat down at the food table with peace of mind.
After breakfast, Jinchu sent Zhao'er back to her room to review her lessons, and asked the maids to go to the outer room, leaving only Huanyan to talk to her.
When they were the only two left in the room, Jin Chu looked at Huan Yan, who had already prepared a lot to say, and said with a smile, "Is there anything you want to say?"
"Sister, when can our balsam shop open?"
Thinking of the thriving cosmetics shop in the capital when she went north, Huanyan couldn't help but speak faster. "Sister, Madam Qin's cosmetics shop in the capital is doing very well, making a lot of money. When I came here, they were already planning to open two more shops!"
Jin Chu's eyebrows curved, and she smiled easily: "It's a good thing that Madam Qin's business is doing well. Don't forget that our family still enjoys her dividends!"
Seeing her sister's puzzled expression, Huanyan shook her head helplessly: "Sister, you clearly know that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Seeing Huanyan's anxious look, Jinchu asked seriously.
"Sister, what I mean is that it's time for us to make some money! You can't let others make a fortune with your recipes while we ourselves are left with nothing!"
"Oh! It turns out that my Huanyan is a little money-grubber!" Jin Chu couldn't help laughing.
"Sister, be serious!" Huanyan stamped her feet in anger. "I just don't want to be idle and do nothing every day. So, sister, when will we start developing our balm?"
Seeing Huanyan's face showing a hint of anger, Jinchu also put away his joking thoughts and comforted her: "You are new here, and I originally wanted to let you rest for ten days or half a month so that you can get familiar with Youyun City. I didn't expect you to be so anxious."
"Why does someone so young need to rest for so long? Zhao'er is so young, and he only rests for three days before going to school. Am I any more delicate than him? As for getting familiar with the environment, there will be plenty of opportunities to do so in the future. There's no need to rush."
"Okay, since you said so, don't blame me for bullying you!"
"Huanyan doesn't blame me for ordering her around. Huanyan enjoys making incense. It's too boring to have free time!"
Jin Chu couldn't help but laugh secretly. She really couldn't tell that this seemingly delicate and gentle girl was actually such a fierce and career-oriented woman at heart.
She then explained in detail her plan to entrust her current important tasks and cosmetics business to Huanyan.
Finally, he reminded Huanyan again: "Right now, I need to focus more on the tasks assigned by the prince. Wuxia has helped you too much. If you still insist on making incense, you may have to shoulder the responsibility alone. It will definitely be very busy and hard. In this case, do you still insist on making incense and opening a shop?"
Huanyan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Jinchu and nodded affirmatively: "Sister, I am not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or busyness. If you are willing, Huanyan also wants to try to see if I can successfully open our cosmetics shop without your help!"
Jin Chu clapped her hands, admiring Huan Yan's fearless courage and bravery. She immediately assured him, "Then just go for it! I believe in your abilities. Don't be afraid of anything. Just follow your ideas. If you don't understand something, feel free to ask me. I'll be there to back you up!"
