During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Madam Lu followed Qingtian's instructions and took the jewel ring back to Queen Beatrice.
Queen Beatrice was very puzzled as to why the gift she had sent was returned. She also asked Madam Lu whether she did not understand the rules of Da Qi or whether Qingtian did not like the gift?
So Madam Lu explained to Queen Beatrice the meaning of sunny days.
Queen Beatrice praised Qingtian repeatedly upon hearing this, and finally called her maid to get a small basket of Western candies that they had brought across the ocean, and asked Madam Lu to pass it to Qingtian.
Queen Beatrice also said that these were just ordinary candies and hoped that they would be accepted on sunny days.
Madam Lu came back with a small basket of candies and conveyed Queen Beatrice's intention to Qingtian.
Qingtian did not refuse when he heard it, but he did not accept it immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Mr. Wei.
Seeing Mr. Wei nod with a smile, Qingtian politely thanked Madam Lu and asked her to convey his gratitude to Queen Beatrice before taking the basket.
After taking the basket, Qingtian immediately reached out and grabbed a few candies.
Mrs. Lu couldn't help but smile when she saw this.
The packaging of Western candies is very beautiful, and any child would probably be unable to resist the temptation.
If it were another child doing this, Madam Lu might even think it was a little rude.
But now she likes everything about Qingtian, so she not only doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, she even thinks it is very cute.
But Qingtian grabbed the candy and didn't rush to eat it himself. Instead, he distributed it to everyone present.
Not only Qin Hexuan, Ye Changhan and Ye Changkun were there, but even several adults were present.
Qingtian held the candies in front of Mr. Jiao with both hands and asked him to choose.
Mr. Jiao shook his head and said, "You guys eat, I'm not a child anymore."
He just said it casually, but Qingtian listened and said, "No matter how old you are, you can eat candy.
"Besides, these are Western candies. Mr. Jiao can also try them to see how they differ from our Da Qi candies."
"You are such a good talker, aren't you?" Mr. Jiao finally smiled when he heard that. He took a candy from Qingtian's hand, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into his mouth.
After seeing that Mr. Jiao had finished eating, Ye Changhan peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy into his mouth.
In the past, he wouldn't care whether Mr. Jiao ate it or not. He would just peel it and eat it if he wanted to.
But today, when I saw how Sister Qingtian treated people, I suddenly began to reflect on myself.
Ye Changkun didn't have so many thoughts. He was simply seeking profit and avoiding harm as a small animal would, and he was afraid that he would be punished if he provoked Mr. Jiao.
So when he saw Mr. Jiao and his brother had eaten it, he quickly peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy into his mouth.
“That was a great time…”
Ye Changkun had some candy in his mouth and some saliva accumulated in it, so he spoke in a mumbling voice and his words were a little slurred.
This time, without waiting for Mr. Jiao to say anything, Ye Changhan said, "Don't talk with something in your mouth. Wait until you finish eating..."
He hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly remembered that he also had candy in his mouth, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't continue.
Mr. Jiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he saw this.
In fact, through the contact over the past few days, Mr. Jiao has long discovered that although Ye Changhan and Ye Changkun are a little naughty, they are not bad people at heart.
It’s just because Ye Qingshan has been at the border for many years, and the two children are used to being loose and have no one to teach them, so they are particularly naughty.
After this period of instruction, both children have gradually shown signs of change.
Ye Changhan, in particular, has obviously begun to reflect on his own behavior when he sees others being polite and knowing when to stop.
Thinking of this, Mr. Jiao's previous jealousy towards Mr. Wei disappeared.
Rather than teaching a well-behaved and smart child like Qingtian, he still enjoys the process of slowly polishing a stubborn stone into a beautiful jade.
Thinking of this, Mr. Jiao looked down at the brothers Ye Changhan and Ye Changkun who were concentrating on eating candies.
He decided not to tell them his thoughts for the time being.
Don't start to get cocky just when things start to get better.
After everyone had finished their candies, Madam Lu said, "Mr. Wei, Qingtian, I have something I want to discuss with you two. Can we talk for a moment?"
Wei Yan knew what Madam Lu said first, so he naturally nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Mr. Wei had agreed, Qingtian had no reason to refuse. However, he did not nod immediately. Instead, he looked up at Qin Hexuan, who had been standing beside him, and asked quietly, "So, are we going to talk about things and leave Brother Qin alone outside? Do we have to do this without Brother Qin's knowledge?"
Qin Hexuan spoke first: "It's okay, you guys go, I'll wait for you outside."
Madam Lu didn't want to avoid Qin Hexuan, but she felt that this matter had nothing to do with him.
When she heard Qingtian ask that, she wanted to say that it would be okay to bring Qin Hexuan along.
But Qin Hexuan spoke first, so she could only change her words and said, "Young Master Qin can of course come in and listen. If you don't want to come in, I can ask someone to accompany you to the garden.
"This time, in order to welcome the distinguished guests coming from the West, the gardens have been decorated in a Western style in advance. You can't even imagine seeing this anywhere else."
On the surface, Madam Lu's words were asking Qin Hexuan to make a choice, but in reality, she still didn't want him to get involved.
Qin Hexuan couldn't help but understand the meaning behind her words, so he pretended to be very interested and said, "I came here with you, sir, to broaden my horizons and gain some knowledge.
