It was the middle of winter, and Jiang Sui was making arrangements in her mansion, because this year all the members of the Xiao family would come from Jeju to reunite with them in Kyoto for the New Year.
So, she had to prepare the bedroom where they would live in advance.
The main reason is that there are too many children. The adults are fine. The winter in Kyoto is extremely cold and snowy. Children have poor resistance, so we cannot be careless about their food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Little Mingxi was reading in his own small study, completing the tasks assigned by his father. Now, he and the young master were being enlightened together, and Xiao Hechuan was their tutor.
Perhaps it was because he had managed the Ministry of Revenue too well, and the Emperor thought he was too idle, so he appointed him as the Grand Tutor. Now, all the children in the royal family who needed enlightenment were assigned to him to teach.
This includes his own son Xiao Mingxi, Helian Jing's two children, and even Helian Yun's three sons, all of whom he has to take care of.
He will be busy starting from the beginning of the new year.
Helian Yun was completely honest. He didn't want to be exiled to a remote place like Jieyang like the second brother. It would be better for him to do his job honestly and not think about things that he shouldn't think about.
As soon as Xiao Hechuan came back, he looked everywhere for Jiang Sui. At that time, Jiang Sui had just finished his work and wanted to go back to his room for a short nap.
Just after sitting down and drinking a cup of hot tea, Xiao Hechuan came back.
Qiu Shui and Yi Ren were sent away by him, and he closed the door as soon as he entered.
"Are you back? Why did you close the door in broad daylight?" Jiang Sui looked at him in confusion while drinking tea.
Xiao Hechuan said nothing, but walked forward, picked her up without saying a word, and walked towards the couch.
"What are you doing? Xiao Hechuan, can you please stop messing around in broad daylight?"
Jiang Sui grabbed his collar and his face turned red.
"You are my wife, how can a husband be considered as messing around? Hmm?"
His voice had become a little hoarse. Today he was really stimulated by Helian Jing. He really wanted to have a daughter and had been thinking about it for several years.
But considering Suisui's health, it would be bad for her to have consecutive children. Also, Mingxi was still young, so he wanted to wait until he grew up before giving him a sister. But now he doesn't want to wait any longer.
I have to give birth to a daughter, and then I'll see how that guy Helian Jing can still annoy me!
"What's wrong with you today?"
Xiao Hechuan carried her to the couch and began to take off her shoes. He pulled the belt around her waist, interlocked her hands, and held her there. Then he said seriously:
"Sui Sui, can we have a daughter?"
So he wanted a daughter. Jiang Sui couldn't help laughing. He didn't need to think about it. He must have been annoyed by the prince again today. This was the nth time.
Actually, think about it, life is so stable now and Mingxi is already three years old, it’s time to have a second child.
"Okay, but if it's another son, I won't give birth to a third one."
Childbirth is extremely damaging to a woman. If she gives birth to another child, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, she will never have any more children in the future.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. If it's another son, it means I'm not destined to have a daughter in this life. I can only try harder in the next life."
After saying that, he buried his head in her neck.
On a cold winter day, the room is filled with tenderness.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Mingxi heard that his father had returned. He was holding his completed homework and was ready to hand it in to his father. When he reached the dean's door, he was stopped by Qiushui and Yiren:
"Young Master, the Master and Madam are busy, how about we come back later?"
"What are father and mother doing? Can I help?"
The two maids laughed when they heard the voice, and pulled his hand back:
"Young Master, you can't help me with this matter. How about I take you to eat some cheese?"
Speaking of yogurt, little Mingxi likes it the most. He nodded vigorously, then forgot about handing in homework and skipped to eat the yogurt.
…
Because the Xiao family was preparing to go to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year, the Su family, who had originally planned to come to Kyoto after the New Year, decided to come along.
They planned to open a Jishantang in Kyoto and then develop in Kyoto from then on.
On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the group arrived in Kyoto safely. Xiao Hechuan went to the city gate to meet them. Due to heavy snow, the road was not easy to travel on, so they were delayed for a few days.
Jiang Sui was waiting at home. She hadn't seen her family for a long time. She was so excited that she didn't sleep well for several nights. In fact, she hadn't seen her sister-in-law and others for several years.
Especially Lanlan. I haven't seen her since I arrived in Kyoto. She is now a mother of two children.
Fortunately, the Xiao Mansion is big enough to accommodate everyone. When little Mingxi heard that many brothers and sisters would come to play with him, he got excited and kept asking when they would arrive.
After Xiao Hechuan picked them up, he took them directly back home. Jiang Sui had already prepared food for them.
One table might not be enough to accommodate everyone, so two tables were prepared.
Because by then, the Cheng family will also come over for dinner.
After not seeing each other for many years, things are completely different now and everyone is no longer the same as they were at the beginning.
They have all become wealthy people, wearing silk and satin and gold and silver jewelry. They are no longer the poor and backward Xianhe Village.
As people’s quality of life improves, even their personality, taste, and outlook on life will change.
The reason why they are where they are today is inseparable from Jiang Sui. It was her appearance that changed the fate of the family, and the Xiao family will always remember it in their hearts.
When Xiao Lanlan saw Jiang Sui, she was the first one to run up and hug Jiang Sui.
After not seeing her for many years, she really missed her fourth sister-in-law.
She is not only his sister-in-law, but also his good sister.
"Fourth sister-in-law, long time no see, I really missed you, finally see you again."
As she spoke, her tone was filled with tears.
"Lanlan, I miss you too. Let me see how you are doing as Madam Su."
She held her hand and looked her up and down. Now they had both shed their youthfulness and become mature and more feminine because they had become mothers.
Everyone has changed to some extent, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the relationship between them.
"Where's my little Mingxi? Come and show grandma!"
Xiao's mother had been thinking about her grandson all the way. She watched him being born, and he was only a few months old when he passed away.
Jiang Sui pulled Mingxi and asked him to come out and call his grandparents, uncles and aunts.
In the morning he was still shouting that he wanted to see his grandma and brothers and sisters. Now they were all here. There were so many people, he seemed scared and became nervous and shy.
The handsome little guy looks similar to his father when he was a child, but he is much more delicate than his father when he was a child.
"Grandpa, Grandma~"
He shouted and his little face turned red. Xiao's mother couldn't bear it anymore, so she went forward to hug him and kissed him on the face twice.
"Oh, my dear!"
