"What's going on?"
Cheng Yue walked over and asked the little girl who was already as tall as her shoulders.
"Sister Yue, did you make all the things in Sister Hanyu's room?"
Cheng Minhong asked.
"No." Seeing Cheng Minhong's face about to fall, Cheng Yue smiled and said, "I drew the picture and asked someone else to do it."
"Really? That's great! Sister Yue, Daddy said he wants you to tailor a set of clothes for me! When will you make it for me?"
Cheng Minhong pulled Cheng Yue's arm and jumped a few times, then asked.
"Well, you have to go find your sister-in-law to measure you. I can only draw, not make clothes. Otherwise, why don't you go find your sister-in-law first?"
Cheng Yue said.
"Great, great! Sister Yue, I have something to tell you. Can you come out and tell me quietly?"
Cheng Minhong nodded, then whispered.
"Ayue, go ahead and listen to the youngest one's whispers!"
Jiang asked Cheng Yue to go with her.
When people get older, they like to see a large family. Jiang was envious of her eldest brother's children, but when she thought that so many children were born by three women, she was no longer envious.
After all, these children belong to the Cheng family, and she is happy to see that they treat her children as if they are not strangers.
Cheng Yue followed Cheng Minhong out the door.
"Sister Yue, well, you can just give me a tailor-made dress. Daddy said we shouldn't ask others for things casually, so I want to buy the rest from you. I was born in the twelfth lunar month, so this year is my ninth birthday. I want those dolls in Sister Hanyu's room. Can you make them for me before my birthday and then sell them to me?"
Cheng Minhong looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she spoke in a low voice.
"No need, I'll just give it to you. We are sisters."
Cheng Yue thought this little girl was quite interesting and said with a smile.
"No, no, no, you have to buy it. If you give it to me, my sisters at home will ask you to give it to them, and that will be a bother to you, right? They don't have as much money as I do. Let me tell you in secret, my father secretly gave me a lot of silver. I don't use rouge or powder, so my sisters don't have as much money as I do."
Cheng Minhong looked very proud.
"Alright. Then you have to tell me what day of the twelfth lunar month your birthday is. I'll have someone send it to you in the capital on time."
Cheng Yue was amused by the little girl and asked with a smile.
"The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day after Laba. I'm going to invite a lot of young ladies. I'm going to envy them to death! I want to fill the shop with dolls like Sister Hanyu did. It's so fun! I also want..."
Cheng Minhong chattered a lot.
Cheng Yue patted her little head and told her to go play. She would definitely do this for her when the time comes.
Cheng Minhong was satisfied, but she didn't go out to play. She said, "Sister Yue, as Sister Hanyu said, cooks delicious food. I want to see it."
So she ran to the stove door and sat there. No one could do anything about it since she wouldn't leave.
Fortunately, it is already mid-September and it is not hot anymore, otherwise, the little girl would not be able to sit for long.
Cheng Wen and Cheng Yue did not disappoint everyone. They had eaten the ingredients used in their dishes before, but this time they combined them together and cooked them in different ways. Even though these brothers and sisters came from Beijing, it was the first time they had eaten it.
This was also the first time in their lives that they had eaten too much. In the past, under the guidance of the mistress Gu, especially the girls of the Cheng family, they dared not eat too much.
