Chapter 543: Playing too hard
Fubao heard the servant report.
"Madam, Master Wan has already agreed to let Miss Fubao stay at the Duke's Mansion, and he will also move in, so Miss Fubao can rest assured."
"Got it. Tell the second young master to treat his uncle well. Also, ask the butler to help move the things back from the inn and have someone clean up a yard."
"Madam, the second young master has already given instructions, saying that Master Wan should live next door to his courtyard, and he has ordered people to clean up." The servant stood outside the warm room and replied through the screen.
"Okay, I understand. You can go down."
After the servant bowed and left.
Wan Yirou stood up and took Fubao's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Fubao, do you want to go to my yard first? I have a lot of fun toys there. If you like them, feel free to take them and play with them."
Zhao felt that Fubao was naturally active, and if someone was detained in front of her, Fubao would inevitably feel a little restrained, so she followed Wan Yirou's suggestion and said, "Fubao, do you want to go with Sister Rou?"
Fubao nodded happily. She thought the room was nice, warm and beautiful. Many things in it were things she had never seen before, and she couldn't remember their names. But the room was too stuffy, and she wanted to go out and play.
"Rou'er, take good care of your sister and don't let her get hurt."
"Got it, mother, don't worry, sister Fubao is very well-behaved."
Wan Yirou took Fubao's hand and prepared to go out. Fubao suddenly remembered that she seemed to have to go out for a while. She also had to prepare beauty cream for people, but she had not bought the herbs she needed yet.
Fubao immediately turned to look at Zhao and called out sweetly, "Aunt, this is my first time in Beijing. Can Sister Rou accompany me to stroll around the streets? I want to bring some things from Beijing back to my mother and grandmother. They have never been to such a wonderful place in their lives."
Of course, Zhao had no reason to refuse, and taking Fubao out for a walk was the family's duty as a host. Even if Fubao didn't say anything, she would let her daughter bring it up.
"Of course, but you have to eat lunch and take a nap before going out."
Fubao almost jumped up with joy, her big eyes full of excitement, and she immediately said to Zhao: "Aunt is so nice, thank you aunt."
"Rou'er, bring more people with you when you go out. It's almost the end of the year and there are a lot of people outside. Don't let them bump into you."
"Yes, mother."
After Wan Yirou agreed, she took Fubao out of the warm room.
A maid immediately came from outside and fetched a cloak for Wan Yirou to put on, and also helped her put on the hood.
Fubao looked at the maids curiously, and then glanced at the clothes on Wan Yirou.
"Wow, Sister Rou, you are so beautiful."
Wan Yirou was wearing a bright red cloak with a hat decorated with fox fur. The cloak was embroidered with colorful flying flowers and gilded cloud patterns. The bright red cloak made Wan Yirou look like a painting, and her every frown and smile was lovable.
"You have such a sweet mouth. You coaxed me when you just learned to speak at the border. Now you are in the capital and you still coax me. I want to see if your little mouth is smeared with honey?"
As Wan Yirou said this, she was about to touch Fubao's little mouth, but Fubao dodged nimbly and ran out towards the door.
Wan Yirou was chasing after him. This little monkey-like girl was still so naughty.
Fubao ran very fast, and while running he shouted to the back: "Sister Rou, if you can catch up with me, I will let you lick my little mouth smeared with honey, and you will be sweet for the rest of your life."
Wan Yirou laughed when she heard this, "Then wait, I'm coming."
"Come on, come on, I can run really fast. I'm famous in the village for being a fast runner."
Fubao's words also made the maids and old women standing in the yard laugh. They all looked at Fubao and Wan Yirou with smiles on their faces.
"Miss hasn't been this happy for a long time."
"Yes, I seldom see the young lady smile so happily."
"This Miss Fubao is so cute, no wonder she can amuse the young lady."
The maids and old women stood in the corridor, looking up at the sisters playing.
Zhao heard the noise outside and came out.
"Why do I hear Rou'er and Fubao's voices? Are they still here?"
"Madam, the young lady and her cousin are playing together. Look, the young lady hasn't been so happy in a long time."
Zhao followed the maid's hand and saw two people playing among the rockery.
The smile on Wan Yirou's face was like the warm sun in winter, which made Zhao feel happy. She didn't want to scold her daughter for not knowing the rules and spoil their fun. After all, her daughter wouldn't be able to stay for a few more years. Once she got married, she would be like her, trapped in this world for the rest of her life, taking care of her husband and children and abiding by the rules. But only she knew that this was really tiring.
Maybe Fubao's words are a little shocking, but if you think about it carefully, isn't it true that the world has used rules to trap women?
"Don't disturb them, let's go to the kitchen and add two more dishes for lunch."
After Zhao came back from the border, she rarely went into the kitchen. After all, cooking at the border became her lifelong nightmare. She admitted that she really had no talent for cooking.
Zhao quietly left through another door, and neither Fubao nor Wan Yirou noticed Zhao's actions.
At this time, Fubao and Wan Yirou were both tired from running. Fubao was slippery and relied on her small body to run around in the rockery. Wan Yirou couldn't catch her at all.
But before Fubao could feel proud, he got stuck.
The reason was that she was forced into a dead corner by Wan Yirou, but there was a gap in that corner.
Fubao thought she should be able to get through, but her protruding belly held her back.
"Sister Rou, help me, I seem to be stuck and can't get out."
Fubao got himself into the fun of it now. He stretched out his two short arms and shook them vigorously, just like a little turtle with its shell turned over.
Wan Yirou was shocked. How could she continue playing?
She immediately called the maids and old women, one pushed from the rockery side, and the other pulled from this side. After some effort, they finally got Fubao out.
"Sister Fubao, don't be so naughty next time. This time it was a close call. If you really encounter danger, it will not be a joke."
Wan Yirou's heart was still pounding with fear. It seemed that her mother's instructions were correct. She still had to keep a close eye on Fubao. This girl was different from other children. She was used to being free at home. Now she was a little worried about going to the banquet at the palace tomorrow.
Fubao was led by Wan Yirou to the outside of the yard. Fubao saw that the smile on Wan Yirou's face was gone, but her face was still red. She thought Wan Yirou was angry.
"Sister Rou, don't be angry, I won't run around anymore."
Fubao said in a low voice embarrassedly.
"I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about tomorrow's banquet. Sister Fubao, don't blame yourself, and don't care about these things. Just treat the Duke's Mansion as your own home."
Wan Yirou discovered that Fubao had misunderstood, so she quickly lowered her head and explained with a smile.
