Chapter 331 Tiger was bullied
After the cousins exchanged greetings, Xu's mother took the two siblings to visit the old lady.
It was rare for the in-laws to come, so the old lady was naturally very happy.
Especially seeing that Song Yicong and Song Baotong were also very handsome, one was full of bookish air, gentle temperament, and clear eyes. Although the other looked coquettish, whose daughter is not a treasure? So the old lady still liked the two siblings very much, holding one hand and asking about the in-laws, and let go of them for a long time.
Xu Muhua noticed that this cousin was well-behaved in front of the old lady and did not do anything out of the ordinary, and probably had a guess in her heart.
The rolling of eyes just now was either looking down on her background, or... this is a naughty child!
Xu's mother originally wanted Song Baotong to live in the same courtyard with her. After all, she was the only one living in the main courtyard, and since General Xu was not around, there was no need to avoid him. But Song Baotong refused.
"Aunt, I want to live with my eldest cousin! I heard that my eldest cousin raised a tiger, and I want to play with the tiger!"
"This..."
Xu Muhua said with a smile: "Mom, you also know that Tiger cub is grown up now, and my cousin is a stranger. If he lives in my yard, I am afraid Tiger cub will be stressed. If I am not careful and let Tiger cub hurt my cousin, I will be guilty." When
Xu's mother heard this, she made a decision without waiting for Song Baotong to speak, "Forget it! Baotong, you either live with your aunt first, or..."
"Then I will live with my second cousin!"
After that, she ran to Xu Jinyu, held her hand affectionately, and looked at her coquettishly: "Second cousin, can I live with you?"
Xu Jinyu's temperament was soft, and she was her cousin. It was a rare opportunity for her to come, so of course she would not refuse. Besides, she and her elder sister had already discussed this matter.
"Okay, you can live with me. My place is big and has everything. It will definitely not be worse than your home. You can live there with peace of mind."
Since her younger daughter was willing, Xu's mother didn't say much.
After riding the carriage for several days in a row, everyone was very tired. Xu's mother asked them to go back to their own yards to clean up early. She also told the two siblings that when they came to Chengguo Mansion, they should treat it as their own home. If there was anything, just say it and don't hold it in.
"Cousin, when can I see the tiger you raised?"
Song Baotong asked.
Xu Muhua thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow!"
This cousin wanted to see the tiger cub, and she would not stop her from seeing it.
It was still the same sentence, as long as she behaved herself and didn't make trouble, everything would be fine.
Hearing this, Song Baotong immediately smiled. Her little face was chubby, and she had two simple pigtails on her head, tied with two brightly colored ribbons. She looked cute and innocent. The Song family members were all good-looking, otherwise General Xu would not have fallen in love with Xu's mother at first sight. All love at first sight is based on beauty.
So Song Baotong also had a pleasing face, combining the advantages of the Song family. Her eyebrows and eyes were still immature, but they already had a hint of refinement and future elegance. In addition, she was still young and had a childlike innocence. This made her even more likable.
"Cousin, you are so nice. I'll come play with you tomorrow!"
After saying that, she pulled Xu Jinyu back to the yard. Her lively personality made people hear her chattering from a distance.
"Cousin?"
Xu Muhua called out in surprise when she saw Song Yicong still standing there.
Song Yicong hesitated for a moment before walking over, with an expression of wanting to
say something but stopping himself. Xu Muhua tilted her head and looked at him, puzzled, "Cousin, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Ahem!"
Song Yicong put his fist to his lips and cleared his throat, and whispered, "Well, cousin, it's like this, Baotong... well, she was spoiled by being spoiled at home. If she does anything excessive during this time in Beijing, you, you have to bear with it. Or you can come to me, and I will discipline her."
Xu Muhua raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
Oh, it seems that this cousin is very likely to be a naughty child!
She smiled generously, "Don't worry, cousin. We are cousins. If my cousin did something wrong, I, as her, will certainly not hold it against her."
Song Yicong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, ignoring the trap in her words.
"That's good, that's good. Thank you, cousin."
"You're too polite. If you find it difficult to get used to living here, please tell us at any time. Don't be too reserved."
The two of them exchanged some polite words before leaving in different directions.
Of course, the Chengguo Mansion would not change because of the two more guests. Song Baotong didn't know if it was because she had just arrived, so her personality had not been exposed yet. She looked like a well-behaved child.
But after seeing Huzai at Fenghua Garden the next day, she seemed to like him. She came every day and stuck to Fenghua Garden!
That day, Xu Muhua was practicing calligraphy in the room, and Shi Liu walked in with a pouty face.
"What's wrong? Did I provoke you?"
Xu Muhua just stopped writing and looked up when she saw the surprised question.
Shi Liu bit her lip, hesitated for a while, and then asked boldly: "Miss, can you please not let cousin come over to play with Hu Zai?"
"Why?"
Shi Liu said angrily: "Miss, you didn't see how cousin bullied Hu Zai! Cousin pulled out a lot of Hu Zai's hair, and she even pulled out two of Hu Zai's whiskers!"
How could she play with Hu Zai? She was clearly bullying Hu Zai on purpose!
Hu Zai was too honest. Because she was the young lady's cousin, she didn't get angry even though she was bullied.
Hearing this, Xu Muhua's face darkened, "Is that so? Let Huzai in."
The master and Huzai have been raised in Fenghuayuan for quite some time. Everyone who serves in the yard knows about it and is used to it. The two are free in the yard. She rarely stares at their every move, and she doesn't check every day to see if they are injured, because she knows it's impossible.
These days, Song Baotong comes to play with Huzai every day. At first, she also secretly observes, and when she sees that she doesn't do anything, she feels relieved.
Unexpectedly, she actually pulled out Huzai's hair and pulled out his whiskers!
Shi Liu called Huzai in, and Huzai was still happy and nothing happened to him.
Xu Muhua pulled open the tiger's neck under Shi Liu's instruction, and indeed saw a bald patch! Looking at the tiger's whiskers, it was indeed missing two, and they were not symmetrical!
The tiger seemed to understand something at this moment, and rolled over at Xu Muhua's feet, with a pair of aggrieved tiger eyes.
