Chapter 96
At the gate of Zou Mansion, Fu Baiwan got off the carriage and asked the concierge to report.

The concierge took a look at their clothes and went to the upper level to report without saying anything.

When the housekeeper made the report, Zou Guangquan was playing chess with his wife Jiang Shuangyue. Regarding the strawberry matter, the prefect praised him for his neat handling and even praised him in front of other county magistrates.

He was in a happy mood, and his wife happened to be a person who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Madam, after all these years, I am still no match for you. If you were a man, you would be a hero." Zou Guangquan held up the chess piece and didn't know where it would land. The win or loss was already decided.

"Sir, madam, there is someone outside asking to see you."

"Who is it?" Qin Shuangyue asked calmly: "Didn't I tell you that when it comes to the Yamen, go to the Yamen to see the master, and don't come to the house."

"I know, these two people came to see the master for a private matter."

"Private matters?" Zou Guangquan shook his head, "Private matters are even more missing."

He doesn't want his reputation to be affected by a little profit.

"Then I replied to them."

"Wait a minute." Zou Guangquan suddenly thought of something, "Why do they say they have no hands?"

"The people below didn't say anything, but they said their surname was Fu."

"It's them, please come in."

Jiang Shuangyue put down the chess piece with an unhappy look on his face, "It came so fast."

"Madam, believe me, you will also like that child when you see him."

"What if you don't like it?" Jiang Shuangyue asked.

"This……"

"Forget it, let's go meet her. Since I recognize this goddaughter, I will be her godmother."

Zou Guangquan was really afraid that she would lose her temper, but his wife had always been sensible. "My wife is still sensible."

Jiang Shuangyue smiled and said nothing. She had already made up her mind to deal with it.

Fu Baiwan led his little girl and followed the housekeeper carefully, but he still couldn't help but take a peek at the scenery of the yard.

Before he came here, he thought his blue brick house was already very good, but after he came here, he realized that it was far from the best.

There were servants everywhere, even Tang Qi's mansion couldn't compare to them.

The butler watched carefully, and since the master let them in, he couldn't wait for these two.

What surprised him was that the father was not as calm as a little girl.

"Brother Fu, watch your step."

Fu Baiwan was looking around, and he only saw the steps at his feet when he reminded him, "Thank you for reminding me."

"You're welcome."

Fu Jiujiu had visited many historical sites in her previous life, even the royal palace, so a house like this wouldn't surprise her.

The two followed the housekeeper through the door. Jiang Shuangyue was impatient to wait and picked up a book to read. In the moonlight, he caught a glimpse of a red shadow entering the door.

She put down the book. No matter how reluctant she was, it was her first time and she couldn't help but look good.

But in the end, the pink and jade-like little baby was in front of him, white and clean, with neat clothes, looking at him with a smile, and his big black grape-like eyes were blinking with a smile.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this little girl is so beautiful.

Fu Baiwan was about to kowtow. He was the county magistrate after all, but he was stopped by Zou Guangquan, "Brother Fu, from my family, you don't have to be polite. We are not in court, so you don't need to pay this kind of courtesy."

Fu Jiujiu didn't need to remind him, Fu Jiujiu was blessed, and Jiang Shuangyue was slightly surprised by such a standard posture.Her eyes are straight, her head is not lowered, her shoulders are balanced, and her waist is not bent at all. Even if a young lady from an aristocratic family has been taught etiquette by a nun, she may not be able to behave like this.

How could a country girl use this way of greeting?
Jiang Shuangyue immediately glanced at Fu Jiujiu.

Fu Jiujiu's greeting method was of course standard. She knew it was useless to ask her mother and sisters-in-law, so she asked Aunt Cui for advice.

"Your name is Jiujiu, right?"

"Madam, my name is Jiujiu." Fu Jiujiu felt the woman's alienation when he walked in, so he didn't call her godmother directly.

Jiang Shuangyue is very satisfied with her rules and sense of propriety. She is not the kind of person who tries to get close to relatives as soon as they get along, which makes her annoyed just thinking about it.

"There is no need to call me madam. Since my master has recognized you as his goddaughter, then I will be your godmother. You can call me godmother." Jiang Shuangyue said.

"Yes, godmother."

Jiang Shuangyue looked at the little breast dumplings with her eyes. Although she didn't like bright colors, she had to say that this red suited the little girl very well. If the little baby was dressed too plainly, it would lose its liveliness.

Especially the jade pendant she wore around her waist, Jiang Shuangyue also recognized that it was not ordinary, which showed that the family had good taste and was not the kind of tacky family that would wear gold and silver all over their bodies when they were rich.

The little girl was neatly dressed, with only a jade pendant adorning her body, and no gold or silver to weigh her down.

Jiang Shuangyue's impression of the Fu family has also become much better.

Zou Guangquan knew that no one could dislike such a cute and sensible little girl.

Jiang Shuangyue ordered his servants to bring some snacks and tea. Of course, this was also the second test, "You must be hungry on the way. Let's eat some snacks."

Generally, little kids will reveal their true nature when they see delicious food.

However, Fu Jiujiu looked gentle and good-looking when eating. He only ate one piece and then stopped.

Jiang Shuangyue curled up her lower lip, not that greedy kid.

"Jiujiu, have you read the book?" Jiang Shuangyue asked softly.

"Madam, Jiujiu is only a little over two years old, and it's too early for enlightenment." Zou Guangquan reminded, but he was happy in his heart. The fact that Madam could ask this meant that she also valued this goddaughter.

Fu Baiwan said with a smile: "She is too young. Her brother will teach her a few words when he comes back."

"By the way, madam, Brother Fu's sixth son is still a boy."

There are scholars in the family, Jiang Shuangyue nodded slightly, "Brother Fu, it's a good thing to be able to read Jiujiu. Although you can't take the exam like men, you can understand things through reading."

Fu Jiujiu was slightly surprised. She could feel that this godmother was a cold person, but she didn't expect that she would have such avant-garde ideas.

If she can say this, then her previous aloofness can be explained.

She must have disdain for many men in this world.

Fu Baiwan had never thought about letting his little girl study before, but the county magistrate's wife said so, so the matter had to be put on the agenda.

"What the madam said is that I will ask her brothers to teach her more."

Jiang Shuangyue nodded, "Since you want to study, my godmother will give you a pen. You come with me."

Jiang Shuangyue stood up slowly and nodded slightly to Fu Wanwan, "Brother Fu, sit down slowly while I take Jiujiu to choose a writing brush."

"This...why are you so embarrassed?" Fu Baiwan was embarrassed. He had previously thought of giving gold and silver jewelry but couldn't ask for it.

But it’s not worth the money, should I take it?

Zou Guangquan said happily: "Brother Fu, my wife doesn't give away her pens casually. She likes to tweet."
