After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

On the fourth day of the New Year, Jinchu and Su Chengan prepared gifts and went to their adoptive father Gao's house. Naturally, they were warmly welcomed by the Gao family with everyone welcoming them.

Because Gao Cheng rose to become the third in command of the Northern Salt Administration in just a few months, the Gao family was happy and excited. Although their son did have some abilities, the invisible support of the Crown Princess was definitely indispensable behind the scenes.

The Crown Prince's adopted daughter, the Consort, was intelligent and kind-hearted. She said that she would promote talented people without reservation, and she really did so. As a result, her adopted brother Gao Cheng became the first beneficiary of this statement.

Gao Cheng is the eldest son of the Gao family and the only son of Tian.

Now that her son has received help from his adopted daughter, he has become the most promising younger generation in the family, which means that he has secured his position as the leader of the next generation. Tian's joy is evident.

A son who is independent and promising is the strong pillar of the family and the greatest support for his mother.

When Mrs. Gao Tian saw Jin Chu, her heart and eyes were filled with gratitude. She wanted to give her all her best things to express her gratitude to her adopted daughter.

The luncheon banquet was sumptuous. Mrs. Tian personally brought a group of female relatives to accompany Jin Chu at one table, while Gao Zhen brought his brothers and nephews to accompany Su Cheng'an at another table.

Because Gao Cheng had dealt with Su Cheng'an several times before, he knew that the prince only looked cold but was very good to his people, so he personally stayed by his side, and took advantage of their sworn brother-in-law relationship to toast Su Cheng'an with several glasses of wine.

Seeing that the prince was not as arrogant as he looked, the other young men also plucked up their courage and followed his example, calling him "Prince's brother-in-law" and coming over with wine glasses to toast him.

Su Cheng'an was overjoyed by being called "brother-in-law" again and again. He accepted all the drinks and drank them all. After a while, he felt a little intoxicated. The cold and stern look on his face disappeared, and he soon turned into a smiling, cheerful and tipsy young man.

In order to show his courtesy as a brother-in-law, Su Cheng'an took out a handful of small golden cakes with auspicious patterns from his arms and gave one to each of the brothers who had come to toast him.

Although these gold cakes are not big, they are solid. Each one weighs about three or five taels. Giving away so many at once is quite generous.

Seeing this, Gao Zhen hurriedly signaled his disciples to refuse, but Su Cheng'an waved his hand nonchalantly: "Since you call me brother-in-law, we are all family. Consider these cakes as my New Year's gift to you brothers!"

When the gold cake was handed to Gao Cheng, the prince frowned slightly and then took it back: "Brother is my elder brother, so don't be partial to my gold cake!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, Gao Cheng laughed even harder: "Okay, I won't be partial to the prince's brother-in-law's gold cake, I will give you a gold cake later."

Su Chengan nodded seriously: "I'm waiting for my uncle's gold cake."

This caused another round of laughter.

Gao Zhen, who was standing by, looked at the prince carefully. He saw that although he was not completely drunk, he was a little tipsy. He also saw that his eyes were bright, the corners of his lips were raised, and he looked very happy. He thought that this holiday gift was also given with sincerity.

Just calling him "Crown Prince's brother-in-law" made him give her gold cakes so generously. It seems that it is really as the rumors say, the Crown Prince is deeply in love with the Crown Princess and can only want her!

Because they love the prince so much, these children took advantage of him this time.

Thinking of this, his regard for the Crown Prince's adopted daughter increased a lot.

Gao Zhen smiled and let the younger generations accept the gold cakes sent by the prince's brother-in-law, but he did not allow the prince to drink any more wine.

After all, this gentleman is of noble status, and drinking to this point is enough. If he really gets drunk and hurts his body, or loses his dignity in public, it will be difficult to explain to the adopted daughter of the Crown Prince.

Therefore, the slightly tipsy prince was taken to the guest room by the Gao Cheng brothers to rest for a while.

After washing up, the maid brought the sobering soup, but the prince, who had his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened them and refused: "I don't want you to feed me, go get Ah Jin for me!"

The maidservant didn't dare to make the decision and could only nod and retreat. Fortunately, Gao Cheng was by his side and knew that the prince and the princess's sister were very affectionate and deeply in love.

So he coaxed her twice himself, and when Su Cheng'an still insisted, he sent someone to the backyard to call the Crown Prince's sister-in-law over.

Jin Chu, who was socializing with a group of female relatives, immediately showed concern when he heard this. His adoptive mother Tian, ​​who understood the emperor's intentions from the music, helped him out with a smile and urged Jin Chu to go to the guest room to check on the prince.

Jin Chu stood up and apologized to the female relatives, then followed the visitor to the guest room where Su Cheng'an was.

Seeing her coming, Gao Cheng greeted her and left tactfully, making room for the couple.

When Jin Chu saw that Su Cheng'an was indeed a little drunk, he hurriedly brought him some sobering soup and fed it to him, while blaming him for drinking so recklessly.

"Don't worry, Jin. The young men of the Gao family are all quite nice. They are so enthusiastic about calling me the prince's brother-in-law. Just based on this word, I would drink the wine too."

The young man's eyes lit up with pride, a smile on his lips. "If I hadn't pretended to be drunk and came here to rest, how could I have quickly rescued you from the encirclement of those women? In that case, wouldn't I have helped Ah Jin a lot?"

"Yes, yes, the prince is the most clever and brave. Thank you for saving my daughter from the predicament." Jin Chu coaxed him with a perfunctory look on her face.

Who said that? Men remain young until they die.

He was really like this in front of her.

The couple leaned against each other affectionately for about half an hour. When Su Cheng'an was almost drunk, they got up and said goodbye to their adoptive father and mother.

As expected, he brought a large cart of return gifts carefully prepared by his adoptive mother, Tian, ​​and returned to the palace happily.

On the fifth day of the New Year, Jinchu and Su Chengan brought Zhaoer back to Ye's house. Huanyan and Ye Jinxuan also prepared a large table of dishes in advance to entertain Su Chengan and Jinchu.

During the meal, Jinchu discovered that Huanyan would place the dishes that Ye Jinxuan liked near him, and Ye Jinxuan would subconsciously take care of Huanyan's eating habits and give Huanyan a few chopsticks of those lighter dishes.

The two would look at each other from time to time, and it was obvious that their relationship was getting better and better.

Jin Chu pursed her lips and smiled. If Huanyan and Ye Jinxuan could get married, she would be very happy to see it happen.

My future sister-in-law is close to me and takes good care of Zhao'er. This result is as rare as an ideal coming true.

Jin Chu was secretly delighted when someone gently touched her arm. She turned around and saw Su Cheng'an giving her a subtle wink, indicating that she should go look at Huanyan and Ye Jinxuan.

As expected, feelings cannot be hidden. Even Su Chengan, who has never cared about these trivial matters, has noticed the abnormality between the two. It seems that the good news for the third brother is really getting closer!

She looked at the two people opposite her, nodded with a smile, and whispered to Su Chengan: "As you think, I may have a sister-in-law soon!"

"Sister becomes sister-in-law?" Su Cheng'an raised his eyebrows and asked a question that Jin Chu had never cared about.

"Isn't it possible?" Jin Chu asked back.

"Okay, okay, as long as you think it's good!" Su Cheng'an suppressed the slight surprise in his heart and responded with a smile.
