Listening to the Water Residence.
The noble ladies of the capital city showed no displeasure at Juanjuan's arrival.
Putting aside the fact that this child is the son of the owner of Sihua Jiayao Restaurant, just the fact that this child is quiet and lovable, without making a fuss, means that even if some people dislike the child, they wouldn't openly express their dislike.
As Juanjuan ate her pastries in small bites, she watched the ladies with intertwined interests chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but lower her head to catch her breath.
Sometimes these twists and turns can really be quite a brain drain.
But we had to pull ourselves together, since it was homework!
Who knows how her teacher will test her when she goes out in a little while?
"I'm late."
A figure in light pink rushed in through the door, her voice bright and clear.
People around her made fun of the late girl.
"This person is Xiao Qian'er, the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
While pouring tea for Juanjuan, Mu Zhaoyao quietly told her who the visitor was.
Juanjuan held the teacup, nodded, and indicated that she understood.
Fortunately, she's a bit smarter than most kids, otherwise her mind would be a complete mess by now.
As Juanjuan was mentally processing the relationships between these people and guessing what Mu Zhaoyao would ask her later, she suddenly heard something that surprised her.
"It's because someone from my family came to visit. My cousin, whom I've never met before, came back from Yunjiang."
"Didn't my aunt marry far away to Yunjiang? Now that something happened at home, only my cousin is left. She just arrived home, and my mother really likes her. She doesn't care about me at all!"
"Even the new jewelry that Liuyun Pavilion sent today, my mother gave to that cousin. It makes me so angry!"
Yunjiang!
It curled up quickly and perked up, looking energetic.
If I remember correctly, my mother came from Yunjiang.
Juanjuan had never been to Yunjiang, but because Yunjiang was related to her mother, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she first heard about it.
Mu Zhaoyao glanced down at the child who had suddenly perked up, then looked at Xiao Qian'er who was speaking.
The gathering ended, and we were on our way back home in the carriage.
As usual, Mu Zhaoyao asked Juanjuan a few questions, and the child, being prepared, answered fluently.
Juanjuan breathed a sigh of relief as she listened to Mu Zhaoyao praising her.
"I noticed that after Xiao Qian'er arrived today, you seemed to perk up and become interested."
Juanjuan: ...
How did you know?
Was she being too obvious? Or did the teacher know her too well?
Seeing the child's expression after being caught, Mu Zhaoyao chuckled: "Xiao Qian'er is acceptable. She's straightforward, doesn't have any bad intentions, and isn't stupid."
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"yes!"
Juanjuan replied with a smile.
Hehe, she knew it; the teacher wouldn't pry.
The carriage stopped, and Juanjuan skillfully jumped down on her own.
Mu Zhaoyao did not rush to get up, but looked at the young child with a slightly somber gaze.
The method of forging steel has been informed to His Majesty, as well as the methods for making sweet potatoes, restaurants, storybooks, and some recent irrigation methods.
The Bai family has many secrets, but thankfully, they are friends, not enemies.
...
I returned home in the evening.
As soon as Juanjuan entered the door, she was ready to share with her mother what she had heard about "Yunjiang" that day, but before she could find her mother, she smelled a very fragrant aroma.
Juanjuan: ?
