Xie Yuancheng agreed completely. I even brought up several outrageous things with him, and he still agreed. Since he was in a good mood, I continued to make demands of him.
"Ying'er~ I also have conditions. If you keep bringing it up, I'll have to come up with some conditions too." Xie Yuancheng, that scheming man, knew that she wouldn't agree so easily.
"Okay, tell me what you think. If I can accept it, I'll agree to everything you ask." I'm quite generous. I don't even need to guess what Xie Yuancheng, this little man, is all about.
"Look at you, your eyes are saying you already know, so I won't say anything more." I nodded with my eyes closed, reaching out for him to carry me. I knew it, but I still wanted to tease him a little.
"Ying'er, you've lost weight again recently. Are you not eating properly?" How have I lost weight? He's always making excuses. Nothing I eat, wear, or use every day is my decision.
"It's all Chengcheng's fault. I don't eat properly. You've spoiled me."
Xie Yuancheng had nothing to say this time. He went to get a dry towel, and I just lay there and enjoyed it, letting Xie Yuancheng serve me. Soon it would be my turn to serve him. He always indulged me when he was thinking of bad ideas, almost kneeling on the ground praising me to the heavens.
I woke up after a while. It was the first time I had done something important with Xie Yuancheng, and I couldn't fall back asleep after only a short while. I turned to look at him, and Xie Yuancheng was sleeping soundly, with a smile on his lips.
I poked his forehead, thinking he wasn't awake. Before I could even pull my hand back, he opened his eyes. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm so excited, I can't sleep." I hugged the embroidered soft cloth on the bed and snuggled against it. "It's rare for me and Xiao Chengcheng to do something so important, I'm so happy."
“You just said you were sleepy, otherwise it wouldn’t be that simple.” Xie Yuancheng threw the soft bag in my hand to the ground and put the clothes on me. “You can sleep for three more hours. If you don’t sleep, we’ll do something fun.”
I quickly closed my eyes and held onto his hand tightly. If I were awake and there was a mirror opposite me, I could feel my ears moving. Xie Yuancheng definitely saw my ears move, because he pinched my earlobe and shook it.
“Xiao Ying’er’s ears can move, and so can Yu’er’s. It’s true that if the mother is disobedient, the children will become naughty too. Yesterday, Yu’er took Xi Zhi and ran all over the mansion. We couldn’t catch up with him.”
"Really?" I really want to go see them. When Yu'er was little, he ran around wearing a red cloak and he was very fast. "Can I go see the children tomorrow?"
"Of course, come closer." I saw his eyes were sparkling, so I squeezed my hand and leaned closer. I got sleepy in no time. I won't get up in the middle of the night next time.
I heard a commotion, touched the blanket beside me—it was cold—and remembered I had errands to run today, so I quickly got up. The noise came from outside the courtyard; Xie Yuancheng was talking to some people. It was already daylight outside, and there was even a bit of sun.
I called Bizhu in to serve me, and just as I finished dressing, Xie Yuancheng came in. As soon as he arrived, he made me change into a more luxurious outfit and even put floral decorations on me. I really wanted to see it, and when the mirror was brought over, it was indeed quite magnificent.
"Marrying a man with skillful hands is true happiness. He's a real artist; his paintings are so beautiful." I praised Xie Yuancheng to the skies. But when I went out, I suffered a bit. The skirt was really thick, and I found it difficult to walk.
"Ying'er, let me carry you. This is made of warm thread. Now you know you're weak since you didn't practice martial arts properly." What does clothing have to do with martial arts? But I really can't walk, so I need him to carry me.
"Is it heavy? Your face is all red." I looked at his face and saw that it was covered in a fine layer of sweat. "Let me get down and walk. You worked hard last night and got up so early this morning."
"Are you being sarcastic?" Xie Yuancheng looked down at me. "Ying'er, you've been talking to kingfishers too much; your brain is getting sharper and sharper."
"It's good to begin with, it's just that you don't let me show my abilities that's why it's become rusty. But Xiao Chengcheng can handle things all by himself, so I'll be your strong support from behind and be your backer in the future."
"That's a good girl. Don't move around. The clothes are still heavy. Let's go out first to see what the mansion will use for the New Year, then we'll check on the red envelopes, and finally we'll come back to discuss what Gu Nian should put away that day."
"I think you've already prepared everything. The manor has everything you need. You're just taking me to broaden my horizons." If you're busy, you won't be so idle. In the past, the Ji family was always busy preparing for the New Year. Mother even changed two pairs of new shoes.
"You actually knew? Who told you?" Xie Yuancheng carried me onto the carriage. Even though I told the truth, he was still unhappy.
I whispered in his ear, "These things are easy to learn if you pay attention to the details. You don't need anyone to teach you." Xie Yuancheng seemed a little happier, and I took the opportunity to praise him. Laughter filled the carriage.
"Ying'er, tell me more, I love listening to you." Xie Yuancheng wasn't satisfied with just hearing it once; he would only be happy if he was praised to an unprecedented degree.
I love praising him; I've shared all the good vocabulary I've learned with him. I'm willing to do anything to make him happy. However, even though he was prepared, there's still quite a lot to do afterwards.
We looked at hundreds of items, and they were all repetitive. Just checking the quantities and accounts made me dizzy. I was half asleep when Xie Yuancheng dragged me away. I thought he was amazing; he could look at things all morning and still be so energetic, even with bloodshot eyes, he was still focused.
"Ying'er, let's go for a walk in the city." Xie Yuancheng corrected a few mistakes, left these words, and then took me away. Before I could even look at the document carefully, we got into the carriage.
"Yuancheng, come lean on my lap, I'll give you a massage." The kingfisher loves to eat pollen, and it uses some of the leftover pollen to make a fragrance with medicinal herbs, which is even more effective than essential oils.
Xie Yuancheng obediently leaned against my lap, and I put a little bit of cream on my fingertip and started massaging around his temples. I had shown Xie Yuancheng the recipe before; he said it could refresh him and even asked me for the formula. It's made by a kingfisher, and it said that humans shouldn't make it, otherwise it would be abused. I didn't tell him the recipe.
"Ying'er, what did you say to it again? There are so many more magical treasures now, I can't live without you anymore." Xie Yuancheng had his eyes closed, but he was much more energetic, otherwise he wouldn't be so domineering.
"That's because I was lucky. The shopkeeper said you can't take it away, so I need to build a better relationship with the kingfisher so it can help me make some little trinkets for you to use."
"Oh~ I was just a little bird you used to switch places with, you're so heartless." The kingfisher suddenly appeared, flapping its little wings and complaining to me.
