He Chengyu didn't give Jiang Huaiqing a chance to refuse and quickly made a decision. By the time Jiang Huaiqing reacted, the matter had already been settled.
"You're going back to see your family. It's not good for me to go, right?" Jiang Huaiqing tried to make a final struggle.
"What's not good about it? Huaiqing, you said before that you wanted to be my younger brother. Since you and I are brothers, my family is naturally your family. Do you want me to be a person who breaks my promise?" He Chengyu said.
Jiang Huaiqing wanted to say that he really didn't mind being alone. He had been alone for so many years, but this year, he had some expectations and felt that he didn't need to be alone. Now that he had returned to his original state, it was nothing.
But when he looked into He Chengyu's eyes, they were filled with anticipation and the master was trying to hide his nervousness. Jiang Huaiqing's heart suddenly softened.
Brother Chengyu was afraid that he would refuse …
In a daze, Jiang Huaiqing agreed.
He Chengyu's eyes flashed. He quickly ordered the servants to pack up. If they wanted to go back, they had to leave as soon as possible.
Jiang Huaiqing didn't need to do anything. He Chengyu took care of everything very well. He even packed the luggage and took the carriage to Jiangnan.
The He Family of Jiangnan had already received the news in advance that He Chengyu was bringing someone back. In order to make Jiang Huaiqing feel at ease in the He Family, He Chengyu nagged a lot.
He Chengyu's father was now the head of the He Family. When he received his son's letter, the head of the He Family was speechless.
"Look at your good son's letter. Most of it is telling us not to make his friend feel uncomfortable. He's been away from home for so long, but he doesn't know how to care about us."
Madame He snatched the letter and said disapprovingly, "It's not easy for Chengyu to come back. You can't be like before, pulling a long face all the time. It's not easy for him to make friends. Look at all these years, when has he ever cared so much about anyone?"
"That's true." Family Head He rubbed his chin. "His letter was full of praises. I want to see if his friend is as good as he says."
"Cheng Yu has always had a good eye for people. He wouldn't be deceived. He said that he met this friend when he was rushing to the capital for the imperial examinations. He was young and came third in the imperial examinations. He looked like a good child." Madame He trusted her eldest son's judgment.
Family Head He had a headache and held his forehead. His wife was good in every way, but she liked good-looking children. All these years, Family Head He had been jealous a lot because of this.
"Cheng Yu said to arrange for the child to stay in his own courtyard. Should we arrange a separate place for the child or do we follow the instructions in the letter?"
"Let's arrange for him to stay in Cheng Yu's courtyard. His courtyard is big enough. Moreover, the child is unfamiliar with this place. It will be easier to take care of him if he stays with Cheng Yu."
Family Head He felt that Madame He's words were reasonable. "Then let's do it this way. They will arrive in a few days. Tell the servants to be more efficient."
The distance between the capital and the He Family in Jiangnan wasn't too far. Other than the carriage, they still had to take a boat. It was Jiang Huaiqing's first time on a boat. It was very refreshing.
After getting off the carriage, the group of people arrived at the ferry. Jiang Huaiqing saw the big boat docked by the river. His eyes were filled with amazement.
"Huaiqing, do you like it?" He Chengyu asked when he felt the change in his son's mood.
"It's my first time seeing such a big boat." Jiang Huaiqing had always lived in the mountains with his teacher, but he had never seen such a big boat before.
"Jiangnan has a lot of water. When we arrive at the He Family, I will take you on a boat tour. The kind of boat that is specially used for sightseeing is quite different from this kind of transport boat."
Jiang Huaiqing was indeed curious, so he gladly agreed.
The group of people boarded the boat. The boat swayed, and Jiang Huaiqing's excitement faded. His face became paler and paler.
It was Jiang Huaiqing's first time on a boat. As expected, he became seasick.
Jiang Huaiqing leaned on the table. He never knew that seasickness could be so unbearable.
He Chengyu touched his forehead. His heart ached.
The man's hand was cold. Jiang Huaiqing sighed and rubbed his hand against the man's palm.
"How much longer do we have to sit for?" Jiang Huaiqing propped himself up and asked.
"There are still two and a half days. I have already sent the servants to find medicine. Bear with it." He Chengyu sat down beside Jiang Huaiqing. He picked him up and placed him on his shoulder.
Jiang Huaiqing leaned weakly on He Chengyu's shoulder. "You said before that I might get seasick, but I didn't take it seriously."
He didn't expect seasickness to be so unbearable.
The servants came back with medicine, but it could only alleviate some of the symptoms. Jiang Huaiqing still felt uncomfortable. He had no appetite for food. He vomited after eating, so he could only eat porridge.
He Chengyu had been by his side the whole time, taking care of him in every detail, making Jiang Huaiqing very embarrassed.
"Raise your head a little." He Chengyu wiped Jiang Huaiqing's face with a soaked handkerchief.
Jiang Huaiqing obediently raised his head. His face was red. Half of it was because of seasickness, and the other half was because of embarrassment.
"We will arrive in half a day. I didn't think it through and made Huaiqing feel uncomfortable." Even though he was so close to the person he liked, seeing Jiang Huaiqing's uncomfortable appearance, He Chengyu didn't have the slightest bit of beautiful thoughts. He only wished that he could be in his place.
"It has nothing to do with Brother Chengyu." Jiang Huaiqing shook his head. "Thank you for taking care of me these two days."
"You don't have to be so polite with me."
Finally, it was time to disembark. With He Chengyu's help, Jiang Huaiqing got off the boat weakly.
The He Family had already sent servants to wait for them. When they saw He Chengyu, they came to greet him.
He Chengyu rested with Jiang Huaiqing for a while before continuing on their journey.
After leaving the boat, Jiang Huaiqing regained his energy. Along the way, he couldn't help but look out.
The scenery in Jiangnan was very different from that in the capital. This place was as prosperous as the capital, but there was a sense of gentleness everywhere.
The He Family Mansion was located in a bustling area and occupied a large area. When they arrived, the other members of the He Family had already been waiting for a long time.
He Chengyu and his group were travel-worn. After a simple greeting with the He Family, they returned to their courtyard to wash up and rest.
Their life in the He Family was very pleasant. The problem that Jiang Huaiqing had been worried about didn't happen. The He Family was very kind and easy to get along with, especially Madame He. She was very fond of Jiang Huaiqing.
The He Family wasn't surprised at all. Jiang Huaiqing's appearance was outstanding. He was well-behaved and had a good personality. Even if He Chengyu hadn't told them in advance, the He Family felt that they would still like to get along with such a person.
Jiang Huaiqing saw He Chengyu's little nephew. The little guy was three months old. He was very cute and had a good personality. He rarely cried.
With Madame He's help, Jiang Huaiqing carefully picked up the little guy. The child was soft and had a milky fragrance. Jiang Huaiqing didn't dare to move too much for fear of hurting him.
The child wasn't shy with strangers. He smiled at Jiang Huaiqing.
"He likes you too." Madame He said from the side.
"He's so small." Jiang Huaiqing carried the baby. "He looks a little like Brother Chengyu."
"The nephew looks like his uncle. He's so cute." Madame He took out a small toy to play with the baby in Jiang Huaiqing's arms. The baby giggled.
Jiang Huaiqing brought the toy. He didn't know what to give to He Chengyu's family, so he prepared a few things. They weren't very expensive, but they showed the effort of the person who prepared them.
The He Family was rich and didn't care about money. Jiang Huaiqing's gift hit the nail on the head. The more they interacted with each other, the more they liked it.
"Was Brother Chengyu like this when he was young?" Jiang Huaiqing asked as he played with the baby in his arms.
It was hard to imagine He Chengyu when he was young.
"Chengyu is different." Madame He said.
"Chengyu didn't like to smile when he was young. After he was appointed as the heir, he didn't have many expressions on his face. He also didn't like to interact with people. As his mother, I was very worried. Now that he's close to you, his father and I are relieved. It means that he didn't like the people he met before. He didn't have many friends since he was young. If he didn't do well, I hope you can forgive him. If he bullies you in the future, you can write a letter to his father and ask him to teach him a lesson.
He didn't bully you. "She looked as if she would teach him a lesson if he bullied you.
Jiang Huaiqing's ears turned red when he heard Madame He's protective words. He quickly said, "No, Brother Chengyu is very good. He knows how to take care of people. I was seasick when I came here. Thank you for taking care of me …"
"It's good that you can get along well." Madame He was relieved when she heard that her eldest son knew how to take care of people.
He Chengyu came back from outside. When he saw Jiang Huaiqing holding his little nephew and talking to Madame He, he had the illusion that his mother was teaching her how to take care of a child.
He Chengyu shook his head to get rid of the unrealistic thought in his mind. He sneered in his heart and thought that he must have been possessed.
Jiang Huaiqing looked up and saw He Chengyu walking in. "Brother Chengyu, you're back."
He Chengyu strode in. Jiang Huaiqing wanted to show the baby to him. "Brother Chengyu, look. The baby is looking for you."
The little guy's eyes were round. As soon as He Chengyu came close, the little guy turned around.
Jiang Huaiqing was shocked. "He really knows Brother Chengyu!"
He Chengyu had just come back from outside. His body was cold, so he couldn't hold the baby. Jiang Huaiqing could only hold the baby and play with him from a distance.
After holding him for a while, the baby got tired and fell asleep in Jiang Huaiqing's arms. Jiang Huaiqing handed the baby to the wet nurse. After bidding farewell to Madame He, he left with He Chengyu.
"Huaiqing likes children?" He Chengyu asked when they returned to the courtyard.
His heart sank. If Jiang Huaiqing really liked children and wanted a child that was related to him by blood, what should he do? Was he willing to let go just like that?
He Chengyu asked himself in his heart, and the answer he received was that he was unwilling. He couldn't imagine the scene of Jiang Huaiqing marrying and having children in the future. If such a day really came, in order to not do something irrational and harm Jiang Huaiqing, he could only take the initiative to leave and stay far away.
"Huaiqing, have you thought about when to get married? There are many officials in the imperial court who want to marry Huaiqing. Their daughters are all very outstanding. If Huaiqing has any plans, you have to tell me in advance. "
The jealousy in his heart spread like wild grass, but he didn't show it on his face. Even his tone was normal. He only silently planned in his heart. If that day really came, what should he do? No, he wouldn't allow that day to come.
"I haven't thought about it." Jiang Huaiqing didn't know what dangerous thoughts were in his heart. He lowered his head and felt his face heat up. "It's not that I like children. I just feel that he looks like Brother Chengyu. If Brother Chengyu has a child in the future, I think I'll like it very much too …"
Do you like it because it looks like me …
