Chapter 208 Wrestling Second Entry
Little Nuobao concentrated her attention and planned to take a quick look.
But soon, her eyebrows were twisted into a pair of twists, which looked tangled and funny.
"How could it be like this~ this, this, this!" Little Nuobao's eyes were round and round!
Her lips were not smooth.
When she looked at Xiao Lanyi again, Nuobao's expression had become three points more strange and seven points more embarrassed. It
was the first time that Xiao Lanyi saw Nuobao's expression, and she hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, did I guess right, what did grandma and the others hide from me, Nuobao, tell Brother Xiao quickly."
Little Nuobao raised her chubby hands and pinched her small hair.
The scenes flashed through her mind just now, which really troubled the little girl. She was only two years old, and seeing these family secrets for no reason made her brain hurt.
Her hair was almost bald, and she couldn't open her mouth, so she could only mutter hesitantly: "Xiao Guoguo, this matter is not convenient to tell you, or, wait for your family to tell you in person later~"
Although the little girl is immature, she still has a good sense of what to say and what not to say when it comes to the privacy of the Xiao family.
Xiao Lanyi covered her chest.
"Nuobao, you are too suspenseful, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight!"
Fearing that he would ask more questions, little Nuobao pretended to yawn, made a fake cry, and then fell on the quilt, deliberately snoring and pretending to sleep.
Xiao Lanyi managed to stay up all night.
When she woke up the next morning, she had dark circles under her eyes, obviously she didn't sleep well the night before, which made Jiang Fengze laugh while eating.
In the morning, Xiao Lanyi was restless, so she simply rode into the city and bought two bags of pork buns, pork floss strips, and braised pork cakes from Su Ji's shop in the east of the city, and also brought a basket of glass marbles, hoping to bribe Xiao Nuobao when she came back.
But Xiao Nuobao had already slept enough and had nothing to do, so he went to Xianquanju to see old lady Xiao.
Then he went to play with the little kid yesterday, the child named Yuan Jie'er.
Thinking that Mrs. Xiao and her friends would leave Daliu Village soon, in order to coax them not to take Brother Xiao away, Xiao Nuobao was naturally very well-behaved.
She tried her best to be cute right from the start, imitating the adults, holding her fat paws together, and wanted to say good morning to Mrs. Xiao and her daughter-in-law.
However, the fat girl's waist was full of flesh, soft like a ball of cotton. As soon as she bent down, her lower body could not bear the force, and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xiao was quick-witted and stretched out her arms to hug the little darling in time.
"Hoo~" Xiao Nuobao was startled, blinking his eyes, and leaned on the old lady's shoulders and kicked his legs.
Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao both smiled and thought the little baby was very cute.
"The little girl knows how to behave, and is a well-behaved girl." Mrs. Xiao said softly.
"It's just that her waist is not very strong, hahaha, this little fat girl." Mrs. Xiao pinched her fat hands, and her laughter could be heard from two miles away.
Today, Xiao Nuobao wore a flowered silk shirt, the material was cream-yellow, and the stitches were dense. There were also a few little fat birds sewn on the cuffs, which looked very attractive.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Mrs. Xiao pointed to the box and said, "Wanjun, I remember we bought a few pieces of fine floral silk on the way. Take them out and let Nuobao choose. She looks good in silk. If she likes all the colors, let her take them home to make clothes."
After that, Mrs. Xiao waved her round fan again and fanned herself and Nuobao's faces.
Little Yuanjie, who was standing by, looked at this, and her chubby arms and legs kicked out of the swaddling clothes and waving happily in the air.
"Aiya!"
Little Nuobao liked this milk bun very much.
Compared with her brothers and nephews at home, she hoped to have a sweet and soft little sister to play with her.
It's a pity that both sisters-in-law are not destined to give birth to a daughter...
Xiao Nuobao walked over happily and touched Yuan Jie'er's hand. Although the two children were two years apart, they were very cute when they babbled together. Old
Mrs. Xiao listened to the children's laughter and her eyes narrowed into slits.
She and Mrs. Xiao chatted with each other for a few words.
"I've been out for a long time. I wonder if the old man in the mansion is worried about me. Mother, how about I go and ask the owner today where the posthouse is in the city, and write a letter to Beijing to say hello." Mrs. Xiao spoke in a soft voice, and there was always a hint of humility between her eyebrows.
Old Mrs. Xiao raised her hand and snorted.
"Why waste your time? My own son knows him best. Even if my mother and I lived outside for half a year, he would not bother to worry about it. He even hoped that we were not at home, so that no one would nag him to take a concubine!"
Mrs. Xiao was distressed and lowered her head to tie the corner of her clothes.
However, the worries in her heart made it difficult for her to breathe freely.
"Mother, you said that those people would not really go to our house... Tell the old man about the previous incident..." She couldn't help but talk about this matter in a timid voice.
Old lady Xiao paused, patted her daughter-in-law on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Those people are only after money. If the matter is really exposed, they will have no handle to ask for money. So they won't be stupid enough to really expose their cards to our house."
After that, she straightened her chest and said domineeringly: "Mother took you out of Beijing to avoid the limelight. You don't have to be afraid. Even if something really happens, I will cover for you. No one dares to do anything to you!"
Mrs. Xiao's eyes were filled with tears and she bit her lip with emotion: "Thank you, mother."
Apart from the personal maid and the two children in the room, Old lady Xiao obviously did not avoid Nuobao. After all, no one thought that a little baby could understand these words.
Little Nuobao, who was standing by, was secretly listening to her. He already knew what was going on and was stroking his chin to think about it.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "I've been out of Beijing for so long. Everything else is fine, but I want to eat apricots."
Mrs. Xiao's stomach was not very good, and sometimes she would have food reflux. When she felt nauseous, she would eat two of her favorite apricots to relieve the nausea and feel better.
Mrs. Xiao said, "My daughter-in-law went to ask the steward here this morning. The steward said that there are no apricots in the fruits that Xianquanju always has. How about I send someone to the city to buy them for you?"
Little Nuobao's eyes widened.
Why wait for someone to buy them?
She has plenty here!
Without caring about teasing Sister Yuan, Little Nuobao went to look through the offerings. After digging in the offerings, she finally saw a bucket of golden apricots!
The little girl happily put her hands on her hips, and couldn't wait to give the fruits to Old Lady Xiao as if they were treasures.
But she couldn't just transform out of thin air, otherwise she would be treated as a little monster who could change her shape.
So Nuobao threw the offerings to the sidewalk outside the house.
She ran out with her short legs, and soon, she held the bucket of apricots and pretended to bring it in from outside.
But the bucket was too big, and half of it was filled with apricots, which was a bit heavy for a two-year-old baby.
Little Nuobao was carrying the apricot bucket, his feet were so tired that he was staggering. Just as he reached the door, his hands were so sore that he could not hold on any longer, and he fell down with the bucket.
"Ouch! Apricots!"
The apricots in the bucket rolled all over the floor, rolled into the house, and stopped at the feet of Mrs. Xiao.
Little Nuobao fell flat on his face, and by chance, he fell directly into the bucket, struggling to get out with his feet up in the air!
Mrs. Xiao opened her eyes wide, and was stunned when she picked up the apricots.
"Where did these come from? Just when I said I wanted to eat them, they came to my door. You are trying to fool me!"
Mrs. Xiao hurried to the bucket, looked at the fluttering feet, and laughed until her face turned red: "Mom, those apricots didn't come out of nowhere. They were sent to us by a little snail girl here."
Seeing that the "snail girl" was already trapped in the bucket, she was whimpering and asking for help.
Old Mrs. Xiao didn't care about eating apricots. She laughed and patted her thighs, and ran to rescue her!
I didn't expect that even such a coincidence as falling into the bucket could make Little Nuobao "enter the palace for the second time".
The Jiang family members who rushed over after hearing the noise all held their stomachs and laughed loudly.
After "pulling" Little Nuobao out, Mrs. Xiao saw that the little guy's face was red, and she hurriedly held him in the crook of her arm to comfort him.
Then she took off a gold hairpin and gave it to her as a small gift of consolation.
Little Nuobao touched her crooked hair and was about to pout in grievance.
Now that she suddenly got the gold hairpin, she couldn't help giggling again, and happily held it in her arms, so happy that she couldn't see.
Old lady Xiao was in a good mood and was about to ask Feng if she could leave Nuobao in Xianquanju to sleep with her tonight.
Who knew, at this moment, a servant came to the door in a hurry and asked urgently.
"Old lady, when I went to the village entrance to feed the horses just now, I saw a few men, looking around stealthily. They were coming for us!"
"Do you know who they are?" Old lady Xiao asked in a calm voice.
"It seems like they were the same rascals who surrounded Madam and asked her for money in Jiangjiabao a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's expression suddenly became gloomy, and Madam Xiao also trembled slightly and fell back into the chair.
