"Have you heard that the altar in Annan Marquis's mansion was hit by a huge rock last night?"
"Really? Did they do something to anger the gods? They won't even let them worship..."
Some people couldn't help but speculate.
"Wasn't General Rong framed for treason some time ago? At that time, Lord Rong severed ties with General Rong in front of the Emperor and all the civil and military officials to protect himself. Could it be..."
"Abandoning his wife and children, cutting off his hand to save his life...tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Someone showed a contemptuous expression.
"I think it's probably true. Have you ever felt that the Annan Marquisate has been acting strange since General Rong moved out..."
"Yes, yes, I've noticed it a long time ago..." The man selling mung bean cakes who had been setting up a stall next to the Annan Marquis Mansion seemed to have found a soulmate. Finally, someone shared the same feeling as him.
"I'm planning to set up a stall on Yong'an Street tomorrow. This whole street feels eerie right now..."
"Then I'll go too..."
"I'm going too..."
…
The General's Mansion.
"General..." A servant came to the study.
"General, the stone you bought from the quarry years ago is gone."
"Gone?" Rong Baichuan put down his brush and asked, "Where did you move to?"
"We didn't move. It was there last night, but suddenly disappeared this morning." The servant was also confused.
The stone was used to carve the little lady. The painter had just finished painting the portraits of the little lady and Big Bear the day before yesterday. This morning, when the carving master came to the house, the stone was gone.
"If it's missing, go find it."
"I've searched the entire mansion, but I can't find it."
"How could such a large rock disappear out of thin air?"
"Tsk... find some time to buy a new one. Let the carving master go home and practice during this time. He must carve our Chaoxi beautifully." Rong Baichuan said.
"yes."
"Who would come to me and steal a stone with nothing better to do? Is he bored?!" Rong Baichuan touched his chin and muttered to himself.
…
At this moment, Wutong Courtyard.
The one who was full and bored was really full.
"Hic~..."
"Sanhuo, good job..."
Rong Chaoxi burped loudly and gave Hai Yan a thumbs up.
"Chao Xi..." Seeing the little guy happy, Hai Yan immediately showed a flattering smile.
"Do you want to eat roast duck every day?"
"I want to!" Rong Chaoxi's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.
Of course she thought about it, every day.
My mother doesn’t allow me to eat too much meat every day.
Seeing that her desire to eat meat was about to materialize, Hai Yan thought there was a chance and continued to discuss it.
"If you give me those two mermaid eggs and let me take them back to the sea, I will send someone to secretly deliver you a portion of roast duck every day."
After the Lantern Festival, Hai Yan and the envoys of the Houchao tribe had to go back.
He stayed in Dongwu for a month just to get the two mermaid eggs that Rong Chaoxi had asked for from the Queen Mother of Dongwu, send them back to the sea, and find a chance to send them back to the spirit world to save the lives of the two little mermaids.
This is his mission as a descendant of the sea god to protect marine creatures.
During the time Hai Yan lived in the general's mansion, he tried to please the little girl almost every day in order to leave a very good impression on her.
Then the little guy will willingly give him the mermaid eggs.
Because he really didn't want to use his divine power to "steal" the mermaid eggs away from Rong Chaoxi.
This method is not only dishonorable, but will also make the little one unhappy.
"Qiuqiu?" Rong Chaoxi seemed not to understand very well and asked with his head tilted.
"Yeah." Hai Yan stared at Rong Chaoxi with burning eyes and nodded vigorously.
"That's your big ball and your small ball. Can we switch?"
Rong Chaoxi tilted his head and thought: Which is more important, the meat or the ball?
After thinking for a second, Rong Chaoxi nodded his head twice.
"Mm, Rourou, change the ball... I need Rourou every day..."
"Really." When Hai Yan heard this, a big smile immediately appeared on his face.
He immediately put away his smile because he saw Rong Chaoxi looking at him as if he was thinking about something, his black eyes moving around smartly.
Having spent almost a month with Rong day and night and observing her for more than half a month, Hai Yan certainly knew what bad ideas this little girl was planning at the moment.
Although Hai Yan was overjoyed in his heart, he remained calm on the surface, without showing too much joy.
I can't let the little guy see that I care about those two mermaid eggs.
The little guy is probably wondering whether he should ask for more benefits.
"Then...Chaoxi, give me the ball." Hai Yan said carefully.
"Yeah." Rong Chaoxi turned around without saying a word, staggered to the inner room, and took out two round balls emitting soft light from the cradle where he used to sleep.
The little guy ran out holding them, very generously, and handed them to Hai Yan without hesitation.
"Here, Sanhuo likes it..."
If Sanhuo likes it, give it to him.
She is very generous, and it is definitely not because of anything else.
The little guy couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.
【Hehe...good times.】
…
After the Lantern Festival, the New Year is completely over.
Qin Nanjing arranged for the New Year's items to be removed from the house and began to prepare for the next big day.
Chaoxi’s first birthday party.
Actually, it’s still early, there’s still about a month left.
But this is Rong Chaoxi's first year in this world, and I want to give her a grand and magnificent birthday party.
People come and go in the mansion every day, and all aspects of food and clothing have to be rearranged, as well as various items needed for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.
Although everyone was busy, their faces were filled with joy.
Only Rong Chaoxi folded his arms, puffed up his cheeks and glared at the ungrateful tree in front of him!
【Why are you throwing away the hair I gave you?】
The little guy asked angrily.
She climbed up and down, worked hard, and sweated profusely as she directed her brothers and sisters to do it for an hour.
The big wood was taken down in just one night! !
Rong Chaoxi was very angry.
When the Phoenix Tree heard this, its branches began to sway wildly without wind, as if it was accusing something!
The messy, all kinds of red, orange, green, blue, and purple ribbons you put on my branches are the hair you promised me!!!
Trusting you is no good! !
It’s a pity that the phoenix tree can’t speak, otherwise Rong Chaoxi would have covered his ears.
"You're such a jerk." Rong Chaoxi patted the black and white (crossed out) flowered gown beside him, "Don't do that. Learn from... Big Wood. You're so bad."
Phoenix Tree: You are bad, you are bad, you are bad! ! ! !
Big Bear pulled at his tight flowered gown with both hands, looked at Rong Chaoxi's angry face, then looked at the Phoenix Tree that was having a seizure, grumbled twice and said nothing.
I'm used to it. I've been doing this for thousands of years...
Besides, I was the one who came to find her.
It's okay, it's okay...
