Chapter 579: So Many Uncles
Smiling, she scolded Jiang Ning playfully, “Since you brought her, why not hold her down earlier? She’s gotten so much bigger and still naughty.”
As for Wenzan, he’d already gone to Jiang Ruobai’s arms.
“My grandson is so strong and sturdy!” He said with a face of pride.
Jiang Yi laughed, “Come on, call me uncle.”
Wenzan immediately spoke, “Uncle.”
“Ama, is this child a genius or what?”
“Our Jiang family’s genes, how could they be bad?” Jiang Fourth Son also leaned over, “Little Highness, call me Fourth Uncle.”
“Fourth Uncle,” said Wenzan in his milk voice.
“Me too, me too!” Jiang Eighth Son squeezed over, “Call me Little Uncle!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Wenzan called him, “Little Uncle.”
After he finished, the child looked at Jiang Ning with a confused face, asking, “Mommy, there are so many uncles.”
“Hahaha!”
This adorable appearance instantly won the love of the entire family.
It was as if they had gained a treasure.
“Let’s all go inside, the snow is so heavy, and the child’s little face and hands are freezing.” The eldest Madam Jiang smiled affectionately, “Seventh Sister, today is your mother’s birthday, and she has been thinking about you all day. You must accompany her well when you come back this time.”
“Yes, I will not only accompany my mother but also my Aunt.” Jiang Ning handed Lingzi to Xiaoman, and hand in hand with Lin Zizi and the Eldest Madam Jiang, they all walked towards the backyard together.
Jiang Eldest Son and Jiang Yi went to greet Mu Jian and the imperial guards, inviting them to the front yard to avoid the snow and have a cup of tea to warm up.
Mu Jian himself didn’t care, but as the leader, he wouldn’t treat his subordinates poorly, making them suffer.
Jiang Qi and Jiang Yi, the two brothers, pulled Mu Jian to their table and sat among the other young masters of Chang’an City.
Mu Jian couldn’t refuse, so he reluctantly sat down.
Jiang Yi poured wine for him himself, but Mu Jian hurriedly declined, “The Crown Prince has ordered me to escort the Princess Consort and the young Highnesses, it’s my duty, I can’t drink.”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Jiang Yi laughed, “The Princess Consort won’t be going back until this evening, and with General Mu’s extraordinary martial skills, this little bit of wine won’t affect you.”
“That’s right, General Mu, in the future when you rise in ranks, don’t forget about us brothers.”
Seated at the table were all the prodigal sons of the noble families, and although they didn’t have many skills, they were good at finding fun and persuading people to drink. They were stronger than anyone else at this.
Jiang Yi found two stunningly beautiful Qing girls to sit behind the curtain, playing the zither and singing songs. In the excitement of the drinking, Mu Jian eventually drank quite a bit of wine.
The backyard.
Jiang Ning properly bowed to Lin Zizi.
“Daughter wishes Mother a happy birthday, good health, and forever young and beautiful!”
Everyone around them laughed.
What a strange thing to say.
Which person, wishing their elder a happy birthday, would directly say they wish them to be forever young and beautiful? It’s too frivolous.
However, because it was Jiang Ning who said it, it didn’t seem all that strange.
She took a large box from Huang Ying’s hands and presented it, “This is the gift from your daughter.”
Such a large box, it inevitably aroused people’s curiosity about the gift from the Princess Consort herself.
After all, the other girls of the Jiang family had given gifts that were not very precious, simply their own handmade clothes, shoes, and the like.
“Seventh Sister, why not show us your gift?” Jiang Yuan spoke.
Before Jiang Ning appeared, in the entire second branch of the Jiang family, it was Jiang Yuan who was the most spoiled daughter. But after Jiang Ning returned, she became a chick that nobody cared about.
However, her attitude towards Jiang Ning softened a lot after those incidents.
Although she was still arrogant, she didn’t harbor any real malice.
Jiang Ning wasn’t pretentious, and directly opened the box, “You all know me. My hands are so clumsy and I can’t do needlework like my sisters. I could only spend money to buy gifts.”
