Chapter 544 Fubao Misses Home
Fubao followed Wan Yirou to her courtyard. Since Wan Yirou was the only legitimate daughter in the Duke's Mansion, her courtyard was of course the best in the whole mansion.
Fubao saw from afar a two-story building hidden among plum blossoms.
"Sister Rou, is that small building your yard?"
"Well, that's my yard. Standing on the attic, you can see the scenery of all the mansions in the country." Wan Yirou smiled and looked down at Fubao's bright eyes and the pair of pigtails that made people want to laugh.
Fubao could obviously be dressed up better, but Uncle Wan insisted on dressing Fubao like a country girl. It was true that one could not expect a man to raise a child. She remembered the time when she went hunting with her father when she was a child. Her father fed her half-cooked barbecue and she had diarrhea all night. When she came back, her mother punished her father by making him sleep in the study.
So Wan Yirou could understand Fubao's current situation very well, but Fubao didn't seem to care much.
"Sister Rou, can I go up to your attic and take a look? I know the Duke's Mansion is big, but I don't know how big it is. It would be great if I could see the entire view."
"Of course, we'll sleep in the attic tonight."
"Wow, that's great. Fubao has never slept in a loft, but he has stayed in an inn."
Fubao chattered on and on about the various inns she had stayed in along the way from the border to the capital, and some interesting things she had encountered occasionally.
Fubao's ability to express himself in words is excellent, and what he says is very vivid, which even fascinated Wan Yirou for a moment.
"Sister Rou, these plum blossoms are so fragrant. Do so many plum blossoms cost a lot of money?"
The two of them had unknowingly stepped into the plum blossom forest.
Wan Yirou loved plum blossoms very much, so her father and brother had a plum orchard built in front of her yard.
There are winding paths among the plum trees, where people can walk and appreciate the plum blossoms.
Wan Yirou was brought back to her senses by Fubao's sudden exclamation, only to find that the two had already walked into Merlin.
Wan Yirou's expression also changed from obsession to a gentle smile. Merlin was a place where she would spend an hour every day.
"Miss Fubao, our lady spent a lot of effort on this plum forest. It used to be a viewing pond. Because my lady loves plum blossoms, Madam ordered people to fill in the original viewing pond and spent a lot of money to move so many varieties of plum blossoms from other places. The plum blossoms you see now are taken care of by someone every day. The plum blossoms in our Duke's Mansion are famous throughout the capital."
Wan Yiru's maid Qingmei explained to Fubao with a smile.
Fubao looked at the plum trees with starry eyes. No one knew that in her eyes, these had turned into a pile of gold ingots.
These are all money. Although these flowers are beautiful, they are not as good as money. The flowers bloom for a while and then disappear. Money can buy a lot of food.
But since it wasn't her money that was spent, she didn't feel bad about it.
"Since the plum blossoms in the Duke's Mansion are so famous, why not hold the plum blossom viewing banquet in the Duke's Mansion? Why go to the Prince's Mansion?"
Fubao thought that since it was a plum blossom viewing banquet, there must be many beautiful plum blossoms, otherwise what was there to view?
Wan Yirou gently touched Fubao's little head and said with a smile, "Our Duke's Mansion had already held a plum blossom banquet when the plum blossoms just bloomed. The princess's plum blossom banquet this time is just an excuse, not necessarily a real plum blossom viewing. However, the plum blossoms in the Prince's Mansion are also very beautiful, not inferior to ours. After all, it is a prince's mansion, how can it be short of these?"
"Oh, so the sisters in the capital have to find an excuse to play together? It's really boring. It's not as free as Shizi Village. If I want to play with someone, I can just go to their house, or shout in the threshing ground, and everyone will come out. There are not so many rules. We can run and play as we please. When we are tired, we can lie on the haystack to rest. We can bask in the sun during the day and look at the stars at night."
The more Fubao talked, the more she missed Shizi Village. She felt like she had been away for a long time. She missed her mother, her grandmother, the big white goose, osmanthus, and her friends in the village.
Wan Yirou saw that Fubao was talking excitedly, but suddenly looked lonely. She turned her eyes and knew that sister Fubao must be missing home.
"Sister Fubao, are you homesick?"
Fubao lowered his head, one hand was held by Wan Yirou, the other hand was behind his back, his little feet kicked the stones on the ground, and he nodded sullenly.
"Sister Fubao, what are you doing in the capital this time? Why did you suddenly come to the capital? I haven't asked you yet."
Wan Yirou has been in great joy since she met Fubao and did not have time to ask many questions.
"I don't know either. My father said he wanted to visit the capital, so he brought me here."
Fubao didn't dare tell Wan Yirou the truth for fear of scaring her.
"Since you are here, have fun. When you go back, bring some gifts back for Aunt Wan Er, Grandma Wan, Guihua, and your friends, okay?"
Fubao thought Wan Yirou's suggestion was very good. She would bring back a carriage full of gifts and ensure that those guys who usually ignored her would fall at her feet and make them envious. She would then take the gifts to every household. As for those who usually bullied her or whom she hated, she would deliberately pass by their doors to show off, but would not give them any gifts, so that they would regret it.
Fubao had already imagined what he would do when he returned home. The haze in his heart was swept away and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Sister Rou, can you accompany me to buy gifts this afternoon? I must buy things that are not available in our border areas. I heard that there are many interesting things in the capital, and I want to bring them back. My father has built a new carriage, which is very big and can hold many things."
Wan Laoer: Our carriage is almost full and there is no place to put things.
"Well, okay, we'll bring Qingmei along. She knows where the fun things are, better than I do."
Qingmei nodded immediately, "Yes, Miss Fubao, I know where to buy small toys. I have bought some for you before."
The three of them happily decided on their afternoon schedule.
"Sister Rou, can I take a walk in this plum blossom forest?"
Fubao wanted to memorize all the rare things he had seen in the capital so that he could brag about them to his friends when he got home and make them envy him.
Fubao likes the feeling of being admired. Just thinking about how they would all look at her without blinking, with eyes full of admiration and envy, she would be so happy.
Wan Yirou took Fubao for a walk among the plum trees.
