The little dumpling and the ball spent the whole night learning the acupoints on the upper body.
The next morning, while Mu Ting was holding the little dumpling and eating breakfast, the little one was still dozing off.
Seeing the little one looking sleepy, the old marquis asked with concern:
"Didn't the little dumpling sleep well last night?"
The little dumpling rubbed its eyes and mumbled, "I was studying last night. I want to try my best to cure my grandmother's illness."
Hearing that the little dumpling was still thinking about getting treatment for her grandmother, the old Marquis and Mu Ting smiled with relief, their eyes filled with even deeper affection.
They simply took the little girl's innocent words as childish naiveté and did not really expect her to cure her grandmother.
Mu Yanxiu pouted, feeling that the little dumpling was playing by herself without her!
Mu Yanxiu had intended to hand the little dumpling a red bean bun, but she took it back.
Bai Mengyun rolled her eyes at the little dumpling, thinking that she was scheming and knew how to please everyone.
Now even her daughter plays with her, and no matter what Bai Mengyun says, she won't listen.
Bai Mengyun gripped her chopsticks tightly, looking at the little dumpling with disgust.
This little one is just like her mother; they both want to steal everyone around her away.
The little girl was still sleepy, but she felt someone's eyes were like knives directed at her.
The little dumpling turned her head and saw Bai Mengyun looking at her with a displeased expression.
My sister-in-law is a bit fierce.
The little dumpling immediately lost its sleepiness and picked up the eight-treasure porridge to drink.
His eyes would occasionally dart towards Bai Mengyun.
Soon, the little dumpling noticed a small yellow dot on Bai Mengyun's forehead, which was flashing.
The little dumpling remembered that it was the Yintang acupoint.
Does my sister-in-law have symptoms of headache and dizziness?
Just as the little dumpling was about to take a closer look, Bai Mengyun glared at her and scared her back.
Forget it, my sister-in-law is too fierce, I'll see about it later.
"Father, grandfather, great-grandfather, I'm back."
A cheerful voice suddenly rang out from outside.
The little boy looked up curiously and saw an older boy walk in.
Mu Yan Hong strode into the door, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth.
"Why haven't you finished eating yet, sisters? There's a winter market on the street today, and lots of people are out and about. It's so lively!"
Mu Yanhong put down his bag and continued:
"Hurry up and eat, then you can go out and play."
Upon hearing that she could go out to play, Mu Yanxiu immediately shoveled the porridge in her bowl and finished it in a few bites.
Mu Yanming continued eating at a leisurely pace, seemingly uninterested in going out.
Mu Yanhong's eyes darted around and caught sight of the little figure in his grandfather Mu Ting's arms.
"Huh?" Mu Yanhong leaned closer to the little dumpling and suddenly smiled.
He tapped the tip of the little dumpling's nose.
"You must be my aunt."
The little dumpling held two steamed buns in its hands, curiously examining the new face in front of it.
Mu Tingzheng said, "Hong'er, this is Mu Jintuan, your little aunt."
Looking at the adorable little girl in front of him, Mu Yanhong thought she looked exactly like his grandmother.
Mu Yanhong patted the little dumpling's head and introduced:
“Aunt, I am Mu Yanhong, your eldest brother’s son, and also your nephew.”
The little dumpling handed the steamed bun in his hand to Mu Yanhong, "Nephew, have a steamed bun."
Mu Yanhong took the steamed bun and chuckled. Despite being four years younger than him, the man acted like an adult.
He likes this little aunt!
Of the four sons of the Mu family, only the eldest son, Mu Jinchen, got married and had three children with Bai Mengyun—the eldest daughter, Mu Yanming; the second son, Mu Yanhong; and the third daughter, Mu Yanxiu.
If Mu Yanhong returns from his studies, the younger generation of the Mu family will be complete.
After breakfast, the Mu family children dressed up and prepared to go to the winter market together.
Besides Mu Jinchen, who had military duties, the other three sons of the Mu family also went along.
Before leaving, the old Marquis repeatedly instructed everyone to keep a close eye on Xiao Tuanzi and Mu Yanxiu.
The little dumpling has just arrived in the capital and is not yet familiar with anything; Mu Yanxiu, on the other hand, is too mischievous.
The old marquis was so afraid that the two children would get lost or hurt that he not only sent more than a dozen servants to follow them, but also sent a team of guards from the shogunate.
Mu Jinyi frowned as he looked at Wu Yangyang and his group.
If you bring all of these to the winter market, they'll attract too much attention.
Finally, after repeated assurances from the three sons of the Mu family, the old Marquis agreed not to let too many people follow.
The little girl was wearing a red mink coat and her hair was styled into two buns. Her round, pink face made her look as cute as a doll in a New Year's painting.
The little dumpling was carried by Mu Jinnian to the winter market. Seeing the stalls and vendors all over the street, he chuckled excitedly.
The appearance of the seven members of the Mu family made the already lively winter market even more restless.
Three tall, handsome men with four adorable and beautiful children became the most eye-catching sight at the winter market.
"My God, those three men are really good-looking."
"Yes, I wish I could marry one of them."
"I like the one in the purple robe, but why is he holding a child? Is he already married?"
"Sigh, such a young marriage."
"It seems that all the good men have already been snatched up."
The young women at the winter market watched the three sons of the Mu family gossip endlessly.
"Brother, candied hawthorns," the little boy said, pointing to an old man by the roadside.
Mu Jinxuan quickly stepped forward, bought four skewers of candied hawthorn, and handed them to the four children.
Little Tuanzi and Mu Yanxiu happily accepted it.
Mu Yanming and Mu Yanhong both turned their heads and said in unison:
“This is for children, I don’t eat it.”
Mu Jinxuan: ? ? ? Aren't you all children?
Mu Jinxuan had no choice but to give the remaining two candied hawthorns to Xiao Tuanzi and Mu Yanxiu.
The little dumpling held a string of candied hawthorns in each hand, taking a bite from the left and then a bite from the right, quickly covering his little mouth with syrup.
"Wow, there's a jewelry stall over there!" Mu Yanxiu, always the most vain, spotted the colorful stalls in the distance at a glance, shouted, and ran out.
Upon hearing this, the little dumpling slid off Mu Jinnian and ran after Mu Yanxiu.
The two little ones, being small in stature, held hands and squeezed through the crowd of people in Xirang, leaving Mu Jinnian and the others far behind.
The two little ones came to the jewelry stall and looked at it with great interest.
Ordinary people's jewelry is not very expensive, but it is novel.
The little dumpling immediately took a liking to a lotus hairpin. The lotus, made of mother-of-pearl, had tassels hanging from it, which suited the little dumpling's taste perfectly.
The little dumpling stuffed the remaining two candied hawthorns in its left hand into its mouth, and its cheeks immediately turned into a hamster-like shape.
After freeing her left hand, the little dumpling reached out and picked up the lotus hairpin.
But as soon as she picked it up, a small hand grabbed the other end of the lotus hairpin.
The little dumpling looked up and saw a familiar face.
Jiang Yuanyuan was angry that someone had snatched the thing she wanted when she happened to meet Xiao Tuanzi's gaze.
Jiang Yuanyuan was slightly taken aback, and her already furrowed brows furrowed even more tightly.
It's that country bumpkin girl again!
Jiang Yuanyuan snatched the hairpin away with a forceful movement.
