Chapter 470 His heart felt as if it had been stabbed hard with a knife.
Tang Si paused, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.
Wu Youcai, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "By the way, Gu Xi asked me to bring you a letter!"
This time, Wu Youcai didn't hesitate at all and handed over the letter directly.
Tang Si was taken aback, but then took the yellow envelope.
It was addressed to Xiao Si (the fourth child).
Tang Si opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper.
There was not a single word on it, only a portrait of Tang Si, and a peach tree beside it.
Behind the peach tree, there was half a figure.
It appeared to be a young girl wearing a skirt.
Tang Si's heart tightened instantly, as if he had been stabbed hard with a knife.
He's almost fifteen years old this year!
The two met when Tang Si was ten years old!
The two even got into a fight when they first met!
Later, Tang Si became her deskmate, and their relationship went from being irreconcilable at the beginning to being good buddies later!
But one day, Gu Xi and he both got drunk, and it was during that time that Gu Xi confessed her feelings to him!
Tang Si was stunned. He felt that there was no way he could like a boy!
No matter how handsome Gu Xi is, he's still a man!
"Big brother... don't be sad!" Little Su Bao reached out and gently tugged at Tang Si's clothes.
Tang Si was slightly taken aback, but then shook his head.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Little Su Bao's little hand accidentally touched the letter.
Suddenly, an older sister she had never seen before appeared before her.
She didn't know what was going on, but she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
That woman was very beautiful, but she was frighteningly thin.
She wrote the letter while tears streamed down her face...
The peach blossoms on that tree were covered in her tears.
Little Su Bao even saw the older woman spit out a mouthful of blood...
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Su Bao saw that the older sister was being carried away in a big red sedan chair.
When she got into the bridal sedan chair, the older sister cried and vomited blood.
She sat in the bridal sedan chair, and died...
The next moment, Xiao Su Bao saw her fourth brother.
The fourth brother was heartbroken and sat idly for three days, holding his sister in his arms.
Finally, the fourth brother actually shaved his head and became a monk...
"Su Bao, what's wrong!"
Just then, she was suddenly woken up by someone—it was Fu Manduo.
Fu Manduo looked at the dazed Xiao Su Bao with worry in his eyes.
Tang Si, who was standing to the side, also came to his senses and looked at the little girl with concern.
"It's okay, I'm okay!" In the last scene, Xiao Su Bao saw Qian Shi crying.
Qian's hair turned half white overnight.
"Fourth brother, please don't become a monk, okay?"
Xiao Su Bao suddenly looked up at Tang Si, her eyes filled with pleading.
Tang Si was taken aback, and reached out to pat Xiao Su Bao's head.
"How could I become a monk!"
Tang Si shook his head. He had worldly attachments he couldn't let go of; how could he possibly become a monk?
Wu Youcai glanced at Xiao Subao, then looked at Tang Si.
"Tang Si, I was immature before, but I really hope you can help me this time. Consider it a debt I owe you, and I'll do anything you ask from now on!"
Wu Youcai said earnestly.
While he was in jail, he happened to meet a madman.
When the madman saw that he had said a lot of crazy things, Wu Youcai didn't care at first, but later Wu Youcai found that the madman actually had some ability.
Everything he said eventually came true.
It was at that time that Wu Youcai vowed to change himself.
He didn't want to become like the madman said, nor did he want to die without knowing why.
The madman said that turning back is the shore, and he turned back, but who knows if there is a shore left!
"I will do my best to do what I said I would!"
Tang Si glanced at Wu Youcai, then continued, "Where is Gu Xi now?"
"Her father went to the capital and became an official there, so she naturally went with him. I don't know the specifics, but I've heard that she seems to be engaged now!"
Tang Si pursed his lips, clenched his fists slightly, took a deep breath, and then nodded.
Outside, the Qian family exchanged glances, feeling a little nervous.
Little Su Bao looked at Tang Si and suddenly said, "Fourth Brother, let's go to the capital now!"
Little Su Bao remembers that the older sister got married in the spring, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
In that scene, as the older sister was getting into the bridal sedan chair, a peach tree was in full bloom.
Tang Si was taken aback and turned to look at Xiao Su Bao.
Outside, the Qian family and their group were also stunned.
Are you going to Beijing?
Their whole family definitely can't all go to the capital!
After all, there are still so many villagers here; they can't just abandon them.
“I…” Tang Si looked at Xiao Su Bao, his heart stirring slightly.
He had originally planned to go to the capital with his uncle.
However, because he was worried about things at home, he ultimately did not leave with his uncle.
Tang Si looked at Xiao Su Bao and also saw Qian Shi standing at the door.
Madam Qian took a deep breath and said to her son, "You're all grown up now, it's time for you to go out and see the world. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles!"
Mrs. Qian was reluctant to part with her son, but she understood even more clearly what was better for him.
In fact, Yunqi had told Qian Shi before that Tang Si had learned almost everything he needed to learn, and what he lacked was only some experience.
“Mother…” Tang Si looked at his mother and his heart softened slightly.
Ms. Qian walked up to her son and looked at him, who was half a head taller than her, and her heart softened.
"Su Bao wants to go with you this time. You must take good care of your little sister on the way, okay?"
It wasn't that Qian didn't want to go, but the village couldn't do without her.
And isn't there Tang Bugui too?
She also hoped that Tang Bugui could accompany Xiao Su Bao to travel around and see scenery she had never seen before.
The little girl shouldn't have been confined to the courtyard.
Tang Bugui heard Qian Shi's words when he came in, and he was slightly taken aback.
Actually, Tang Bugui originally wanted to take Xiao Su Bao back to the capital.
However, for some reason, Xiao Su Bao has been unwilling to go back.
"Mother!" Little Su Bao looked at Madam Qian, reluctant to leave.
Madam Qian patted Xiao Su Bao's head and said, "Mother is fine."
Although they haven't spent much time together, Qian's feelings for Xiao Su Bao are genuine.
When Fu Manduo and the others heard about this, they couldn't help but feel sad.
But Xiao Su Bao wanted to accompany Tang Si to the capital, and no one could stop her.
The weather was going to get cold soon, and Qian was worried that Xiao Su Bao would be cold on the road, so she told them to set off earlier.
However, before that, Madam Qian still decided to give Xiao Su Bao a proper birthday celebration.
Little Su Bao had no idea about this. She had been even busier these past few days, either drawing talismans with her master and the others or going up the mountain to take care of the little ones.
The white tiger has grown up quite a bit now, and looks both cute and fierce.
Three little buns can also go hunting for the family.
The Tang family's life got better and better, and the villagers of Tangjia Village also felt that their lives had improved a lot.
Early that morning, the Qian family had a lot of food and drink prepared.
Little Su Bao was woken up early by several little girls from Fu Man Duo.
They all really did their best, and when Xiao Su Bao came out of the house, she looked like a fairy who was floating on air.
The little dumpling stood somewhat shyly in front of the Qian family.
When Qian saw Xiao Su Bao looking like this, her heart melted completely.
Wang Xiuer, standing to the side, exaggeratedly clutched her chest.
"Oh my, my baby, you're so beautiful!" If Wang Xiuer weren't so pregnant that she didn't dare to hold the little dumpling, she would have loved to pick it up and spin it around.
Little Su Bao's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were blinking, making her look exceptionally cute.
Sun Cuihua's eyes lit up; she had wanted a daughter when she was pregnant with her second child.
Who knew that after being born again and again, it would still be a boy!
Looking at my little Su Bao now, I feel that everything about her is wonderful.
"Are you all hungry? The feast won't start for a while. Here, this is the braised pork we made today. Come on, everyone, have a little!" Sun Cuihua sliced meat for each of the children.
The little ones immediately took it and started eating.
Sun Cuihua then sprinkled some sesame seeds and sugar on the fried pork cracklings.
"You should all share these too. The children are growing, so don't let them go hungry!"
Sun Cuihua looked at the children with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness.
Especially when it came to Princess Chang'an and Fumanduo, Sun Cuihua gave the two little girls the most food, second only to Xiaosubao.
After all, these two are his future daughters-in-law!
Qi Meng also came over. She was wearing a bright red dress, and her complexion was noticeably rosier than before.
She handed a box to Xiao Su Bao, saying, "Su Bao, this is a birthday gift from your third sister-in-law!"
This was the first time Xiao Su Bao had received a birthday gift, and her eyes lit up immediately, making her quite happy.
The Qian family exchanged a glance; they hadn't even had a chance to give their gifts yet, but the third son's wife had already gotten there first.
Wang Xiuer immediately stopped hiding her feelings: "Su Bao, this is a gift from your second sister-in-law. These are cotton shoes. I heard it's cold in the capital. Wear them when you go!"
"This cotton-padded coat was also made by my second sister-in-law, and there's more..."
Xiuer immediately took out a lot of things.
Little Su Bao watched from the side, her eyes sparkling.
What a beautiful dress! The embroidered flowers on it are gorgeous too!
“Your second sister-in-law’s embroidery skills are quite good!” Madam Qian said to Xiao Su Bao from the side.
The little dumpling nodded quickly, its eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.
Wang Xiuer's smile immediately became even brighter.
She hadn't told Xiao Su Bao yet that she had hidden a lot of silver notes and some gold leaves inside the clothes.
She got it all by asking the second son to go out and exchange it.
Xiao Su's baby is about to go on a long trip, and she is worried that they might encounter some danger.
Sun Cuihua glanced at Qian Shi and, seeing that her mother-in-law didn't move, took out the gifts that she and Tang Cheng had prepared.
It was a jade bracelet and a pair of jade earrings.
In addition to these, Sun Cuihua also prepared a small bag specifically for the little girl to put her food in.
This small bag is specially designed so that the oil from the food inside won't seep out when you wear it.
She also prepared silver notes for Xiao Su Bao.
In the past few months, those families have actually made quite a bit of money.
Sun Cuihua took out almost half of it.
Seeing that her daughters-in-law had all given gifts, Madam Qian also gave Xiao Su Bao the birthday gift she had prepared.
The gift from the Qian family wasn't very big; it was just a box.
The Qian family only glanced at it, but none of them said anything.
As they were talking, a commotion arose outside.
"Little Su Bao, Grandpa has also prepared a birthday gift for you. Come out and see if you like it!" At this moment, Qian Wangwang's voice came from outside.
Madam Qian was taken aback, not expecting her father to come.
After the third son got married, the father and his family went back home, saying they still had some things to take care of.
"Father, eldest brother, little brother, Manman, what brings you all here?"
Qian came out and quickly looked at the group of people.
Qian Wangwang looked at his daughter and said angrily, "How dare you say that? It's Xiaosubao's birthday, why didn't you tell me?"
"If I hadn't run into Master Fu in the county town, I probably would have missed him!" Qian Wangwang glared at his daughter, but his gaze fell on Xiao Su Bao.
"Hello, Grandpa Qian!"
Little Su Bao greeted Grandpa Qian with a sweet, chubby voice.
She blinked, looked at Grandpa Qian's forehead, and immediately breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Grandpa Qian's bad luck seems to have disappeared!
Little Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile broadened.
"Good child, your grandfather just got a fine steed a few days ago. Do you like it?"
Grandpa Qian led a white horse over.
This horse bears some resemblance to Tang Bugui's Dilu, but it possesses an added touch of spirit.
When the horse saw Little Su Bao, it snorted and then stretched its head to get close to Little Su Bao.
Little Su Bao arrived with a slight hint of nervousness.
Qian Manman was slightly taken aback, and for a moment she didn't know what to say when she saw this scene.
After all, this horse was quite arrogant before!
But now...
It actually knelt down in front of Xiao Su Bao and rubbed its head against Xiao Su Bao's clothes.
"This horse seems to really like the little sister!"
Qian Manman said with a hint of excitement.
Qian Wangwang's smile widened; this horse had cost him a fortune.
"Little Su Bao, do you like this horse?" Qian Wangwang looked at Little Su Bao expectantly.
The little dumpling nodded decisively; when she stroked the horse, she could feel the horse's happiness.
"Haha, I'm glad you like it! I knew I had good taste; my eldest granddaughter would definitely love it!"
Qian Wangwang stroked his beard, his smile incredibly bright.
Qian Chaoduo also appeared, holding a box and handing it to Xiao Subao: "My dear niece, this is a box of pearls that your uncle gave you. Take a look and see if you like it!"
Before Qian could react, Fu Manduo and the others stared wide-eyed.
Pearls!
Even a single one is priceless, let alone a whole box of them.
"Our Qian family may not have much else, but we have plenty of money!" Qian Manman chuckled and moved closer to Xiao Su Bao.
"Manman is right!" Qian Lailai chuckled and came closer, also holding a rather large box in his arms.
This time, he brought two more pieces of jadeite rough for Xiao Su Bao.
I bought these stones myself at a high price.
Qian saw the stone while standing to the side, and her eyelids twitched wildly.
Last time, just one stone transformed Xiao Su Bao like a completely different person; this time, there are so many…
Little Su Bao also glanced curiously at the boxes, feeling as if a stream of energy was constantly flowing towards her.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao suddenly looked at her maternal grandfather.
Just a moment ago, Xiao Su Bao seemed to have seen a glimmer of blood!
My grandfather's only good eye also seemed to have turned grayish-white.
"Grandpa..." Xiao Su Bao looked at Qian Wangwang nervously.
While talking to his daughter, Qian Wangwang subconsciously looked at Xiao Su Bao.
The little dumpling took a deep breath and walked up to Qian Wangwang.
The children in the family were actually all afraid of Qian Wangwang, but Xiao Su Bao wasn't afraid at all; instead, she reached out and grabbed Qian Wangwang's hand.
Qian Wangwang was taken aback and looked at the little dumpling in surprise.
"Grandpa, please don't go out these next few days, just stay home, okay?" Little Su Bao's eyes were so bright that Qian Wangwang's heart softened.
Madam Qian immediately realized something. She looked at Qian Wangwang and said, "Dad, Xiao Su Bao is right. You should stay home for now and not go out."
Qian Wangwang smiled, reached out and picked up Xiao Su Bao, but worried that his face might scare the little girl, so he subconsciously turned to the side.
But Xiao Su Bao stretched out her little hand and cupped Qian Wang Wang's face.
Qian Wangwang was taken aback by the little dumpling staring at him so closely, and his old face turned a little red.
"Grandpa, be good, okay?" The little dumpling looked at Qian Wangwang, his eyes showing no fear, only concern and nervousness.
Qian Wangwang's heart melted at the sight of the little dumpling! How could the little dumpling be so adorable!
It's like sneaking home...
Watching this scene unfold, Madam Qian finally took a deep breath and said, "Father, let's listen to Su Bao!"
"I'm afraid that won't work. I have to go on a long trip in a few days; I still have a lot of business to do there!"
Qian Wangwang, holding Xiao Su Bao, turned to Qian Shi and said.
Ms. Qian frowned, her eyes filled with deep worry.
She knew her daughter's abilities very well.
Qian Wangwang must be in great danger this time, otherwise the little dumpling wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
Ms. Qian pondered how to dissuade Qian Wangwang from his idea.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao spoke up again: "Grandpa, can we not take the waterway?"
Little Su Bao looked at Qian Wangwang pitifully.
Madam Qian's heart trembled slightly, and she immediately pulled her father, saying, "Father, you mustn't take the waterway. Even if it wastes some time, safety comes first. What will I do if something happens to you..."
Qian was on the verge of tears, and Qian Wangwang felt a pang of heartache seeing this, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Qian Manman's expression changed slightly, because he knew that his grandfather planned to leave by water this time.
Moreover, walking on water reduces the distance by half!
If Xiao Su Bao can say that, it proves that there must be a problem on the water.
Qian Manman was different from the rest of her family; she had personally witnessed those strange occurrences.
He had taken Xiao Su Bao's words to heart.
He didn't rush to talk to his grandfather and the others, but secretly called his father out.
Fu Lin, Su Liang, and even the Wu family sent gifts.
Fulin gifted Xiaosubao a set of writing implements and a book written by a great writer.
Su Liang then gave the little dumpling a very sharp... axe...
Su Liang originally didn't want to send this, but his eldest niece insisted that he do it.
When the Qian family saw the axe, they were speechless.
The Wu family was quite kind; they sent a set of fashionable jewelry and a piece of clothing.
Little Su Bao has been laughing non-stop all day.
Little Su Bao was very happy to see so many gifts.
The girls also chimed in, each gift varying in value, but all expressing their heartfelt sentiments.
Madam Sima also sent some things. She is currently staying in An County. She fell ill some time ago, and Fulin did not dare to let the old lady go back.
"Little sister Su Bao..." Just then, a voice came.
Zhao Ziyun was dressed in a blue robe, and his hair was tied up with a jade crown.
Standing there, he looked like a little fairy.
Especially those eyes, they are very pleasing to the eye.
"Brother Zhao Yun!" Little Su Bao smiled brightly when she saw Zhao Ziyun.
Zhao Ziyun smiled and walked up to Xiao Su Bao with his gift.
"This is a gift for your fifth birthday. See if you like it!" Zhao Ziyun's eyes were extremely gentle, but anyone looking at him felt that something was off...
Qian Wangwang and his daughter exchanged a glance.
Ms. Qian pursed her lips, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
However, after a moment, the expressions in everyone's eyes changed slightly.
The gift Zhao Ziyun gave to Xiao Su Bao was quite surprising.
While others gave him gold and silver jewelry, he gave him a fledgling eagle the size of his palm!
The fledgling eagle seemed to be extremely exhausted.
"This is a peregrine falcon. If you have any messages in the future, you can have it relay them for you!" Zhao Ziyun looked at Xiao Su Bao with doting eyes.
He remembered that the little girl in his dream had a peregrine falcon, but she said that it would have been better if she had a peregrine falcon sooner.
The little girl must be happy!
Little Su Bao's eyes did indeed light up.
The little peregrine falcon saw Little Crispy Baby and suddenly cried out excitedly.
"Careful..." Zhao Ziyun was startled when he saw Xiao Su Bao reach in and quickly called out to the little dumpling.
Little Su Bao raised her head in confusion, her eyes filled with a hint of bewilderment!
"What's wrong with Brother Zhao Yun?" Little Su Bao looked up, puzzled, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Zhao Ziyun was stunned when he saw the little peregrine falcon obediently let Xiao Su Bao hold it in her arms.
What's going on?
He swallowed hard, unsure of what to say next.
"I'm fine, I'm just worried that this little thing might hurt you!"
Zhao Ziyun finally said something.
But seeing the little peregrine falcon acting cute and affectionate in Xiao Su Bao's arms, Zhao Ziyun realized that he might have been overthinking things.
When this little thing sees Xiao Su Bao, its soft and adorable appearance is completely different from when it's with itself.
At this moment, Xiao Mobao walked in from the doorway.
He glanced at Zhao Ziyun, then took a box and walked towards Xiao Su Bao.
"Here you go!" Little Mo Bao was wearing a black robe today, and her eyes carried a faint air of aloofness.
At such a young age, he already exudes a sense of detachment.
If Zhao Ziyun is a little fairy, then Xiao Mobao looks like a little devil.
Little Su Bao stood between the two, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful.
Everyone's hearts softened for a moment.
"How can this child be so adorable!" Wang Xiuer blinked, looking at Xiao Su Bao, then at the two boys, a love triangle already playing out in her mind.
Qian's lips twitched, and she glared at Wang Xiuer with annoyance before walking up to Xiao Su Bao.
"Don't you want to see what gift Xiao Mo Bao gave you?"
Mrs. Qian smiled as she looked at the little dumpling.
Little Su Bao immediately smiled, a sweet expression appearing on her little face.
"Hmm, I'll take a look!"
After saying that, Xiao Su Bao opened the box.
Everyone was stunned, because the box also contained a peregrine falcon, and it looked even stronger.
Zhao Ziyun raised an eyebrow...
This time, I finally beat Xiao Mobao.
