Chapter 572 Going out for breakfast
Fubao rubbed his eyes, looked outside, and found that the sky outside was still pitch black.
"Sister Qingmei, when will the sun rise? I feel like I was almost full in my dream, but it's not even dawn yet and I'm starving."
Qingmei was touched by Fubao's cute appearance. Her long, black and smooth hair was draped behind her. Her palm-sized face looked even whiter. She pouted her lips slightly, looked aggrieved, and her little hands kept rubbing her belly.
However, Qingmei didn't notice that Fubao's belly was flat. Instead, it was plump and very cute.
"Miss Fubao, how about I go to the kitchen and see if there is anything to eat and bring some to you first?"
Fubao immediately shook his head.
"No, no, I need to save some space for delicious food. I want to buy all the delicious cakes that Sister Qingmei told me about before, taste them one by one, and bring some back for my mother, grandmother, and Sister Guihua. They will definitely like them too."
Fubao never eats alone. If she finds something delicious, even if she likes it very much, she will share it with her family.
Wan Yirou took the clothes Qingmei handed over and put them on Fubao.
"Sister Fubao, put on your clothes quickly and don't catch a cold, otherwise you won't be able to eat delicious food."
Fubao nodded obediently.
"Sister Rou, shall we sleep a little longer?"
As Fubao spoke, he slid into the bed like a loach, leaving only his two big, bright eyes exposed.
Wan Yirou looked at Fubao with a gentle smile and gently tapped Fubao's forehead. "Naughty boy, why don't you sleep for a while? But I can't sleep. If you can't sleep, you can tell me about the interesting things you have experienced at the border in the past two years."
Wan Yirou gently tucked the corner of the quilt for Fubao and lay down again.
"Qingmei, put down the tent. I want to talk to Sister Fubao for a while. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see her in the future. Maybe we will never see each other again."
As Wan Yirou spoke, she felt an inexplicable sadness of parting in her heart. She had heard from her second brother that her sister Fubao would be leaving the capital tomorrow. Even if she came to the capital again in the future, they would not be able to sleep in the same bed and talk about their shared memories at the border like they did now.
She will get married after she reaches the age of 15, and will no longer be a lady of the Duke's Mansion.
"Sister Rou, we won't miss each other. Don't worry, I will definitely come to visit you. Although the capital is far from the border, it's only two months away. If you miss me, just write to me. I will learn to ride a horse when I go back. When you get married, I will definitely come to see you off. At that time, I will ride a horse. My teacher said that horses run faster."
Fubao spoke his thoughts happily, without any sadness at all, giving people a sense of longing.
"Then let's make a deal. When I get married, you must come to see me off."
"It's a deal. Let's make a promise. If we make a promise, we won't regret it. And I'll be there not only when you get married, but also when you give birth. I'll study medicine when I go back, and when you give birth, I'll deliver the baby for you."
“Puff.”
As soon as Fubao finished speaking, Qingmei's low laughter was heard outside. She really couldn't help it.
Wan Yirou shyly used her hand to tickle Fubao's armpits.
"You are so young, how do you know so much? You dare to say anything. You are still a little girl. Just talking about giving birth, don't say anything nonsense in the future."
Fubao was tickled by Wan Yirou, and he gasped with giggles, "Sister Rou - help me, Fubao won't say anything -"
Wan Yirou then let her go, and the two little sisters laughed at the same time.
Wan Yirou felt that being with Fubao was not like being with a little girl at all, but more like being with a close friend. Fubao knew a lot of things, and her thoughts were completely different from those of the girls from aristocratic families. Despite her young age, the opinions she expressed often made Wan Yirou feel incredible, but she agreed with Fubao's words from the bottom of her heart.
This complex and contradictory mentality has always confused Wan Yirou. She doesn't know whether this era is sick or she herself is sick. She has been having wild thoughts recently, but has no one to talk to.
As the two were chatting, they heard the sound of birds singing outside.
"Wow, it's time to get up. The birds are up. We can't be lazier than them."
Fubao immediately threw back the quilt and stood up.
Wan Yirou was startled.
"Sister Fubao, I just told you not to catch a cold, what are you doing?"
Although there was a charcoal fire in the room, Fubao was only wearing a middle-length shirt and was still a little cold.
Fubao immediately stuck out his tongue playfully and quickly covered himself with the quilt again.
Qingmei and Lumei also came in from outside and helped the two of them get up.
During this period, Zhao made a lot of clothes for Fubao, from inner to outer.
Fubao was dressed up like a little fairy by Qingmei every day, and all the servants in the mansion liked Fubao very much.
Qingmei and Lumei quickly finished dressing up Fubao and Wan Yirou.
Fubao took Wan Yirou's hand and was about to go out.
"Sister Rou, let's go find Brother Chen, my father, and Mr. Master. We're not going to have breakfast at home, are we? I want to go to the teahouse Mr. Master mentioned for breakfast. I heard that the steamed buns in that teahouse are especially delicious, and they also have barbecued pork buns, which I've never seen before."
Wan Yirou felt a little embarrassed. She had never eaten in a restaurant outside, let alone in the morning.
"Sister Rou, what's wrong with you?" Fubao held Wan Yirou's hand and asked immediately when he saw that she was a little embarrassed.
"Sister Fubao, shall we go and pay our respects to my mother first?"
"Well, okay, I have to tell my aunt first. I was too careless. Fortunately, Sister Rou reminded me."
Fubao has become accustomed to Wan Yirou's daily visits to pay her respects to Zhao. It is said that all wealthy families do the same.
Fubao and Wan Yirou came to Zhao's yard, and Zhao was already handling affairs.
In the side hall outside the warm room, there were a room full of housekeepers, but no one dared to speak. Everyone held their breath and stood with their heads bowed.
It was the first time for Fubao to get up so early, and also the first time for her to come with Wan Yirou to pay respects to Zhao. She looked at so many people curiously and quietly pulled Wan Yirou's hand.
"Sister Rou, what are these people doing here? Why are they up so early?"
"Sister Fubao, they are all the stewards in the Duke's Mansion. Every day, mother has to listen to their reports, and then assign tasks and take the right cards to receive money. Mother is handling affairs now, shall we go in later?"
Of course Fubao didn’t understand all this, but when she heard that Zhao was busy, she just stood beside Wan Yirou and waited obediently.
"Are Rou'er and Fubao here?"
Zhao heard the murmuring outside and asked loudly.
"Mom, my sister Fubao and I are here to pay our respects to you."
"Come in."
Fubao was led in by Wan Yirou.
Fubao saw that Zhao was wearing a headband on her head and a royal blue coat with a collar and cuffs inlaid with white fox fur. She looked less bright than usual, but more easy-going.
"Greetings to mother." Wan Yirou bowed.
When Fubao saw this, he also imitated Wan Yirou and bowed to Zhao, "Greetings to Auntie."
But Fubao's learning was weird, which made everyone in the room laugh secretly with their hands covering their mouths.
When Zhao glanced at them, everyone's faces immediately tightened and they dared not laugh anymore.
"Come here, both of you, and sit next to me."
Zhao took Fubao's hand and sat him next to her. She asked with concern, "Fubao, why did you get up so early today? Why don't you stay in bed?"
"Aunt, I have to go out for breakfast. I can't stay in bed. If I eat breakfast late, I won't have room for lunch, so I have to eat breakfast early."
"Go out for breakfast?" Zhao looked at Wan Yirou in confusion.
"Mom, this is what happened. Fubao heard that there were barbecued pork buns being sold in the teahouse outside, so he wanted to go and try some."
Zhao laughed when she heard this, "You are indeed a foodie. You never miss out on any delicious food. Okay, then you guys can go out and eat."
"Rou'er, take your sister Fubao for a good shopping. She can buy whatever she wants and send it to the mansion. Let the accountant settle the bill. Don't let your uncle Wan Er pay for it."
"Yes, mother."
The two men came out of Zhao's house and got on the carriage from the back door. The carriage went around to the front door. There were several people standing next to the carriage at the front door. One was Wan Laoer, one was Wan Xingchen, and the other was Jia Yanbing.
"Daddy, Brother Chen, sir, I'm here."
Fubao stuck his head out of the carriage and waved to a few people.
When the carriage approached, Fubao was about to jump off, but was grabbed by Qingmei.
"Miss Fubao, be careful!"
Wan Laoer also hurried over and took Fubao down from the carriage.
Wan Laoer carried Fubao in front of Jia Yanbing, but Fubao's eyes were fixed on Jia Yanbing's face.
I saw a wisp of black air lingering on Jia Yanbing's face.
"Sir, shall we go have breakfast?"
"Girl, the master won't go with you today, you guys just have a good time."
"No, sir, you can't leave Fubao at all today."
Jia Yanbing thought that Fubao knew that they would be temporarily parting ways tomorrow, so he was reluctant to let them go, which was why he said this.
In fact, Fubao had no idea that they were going to separate.
