Nanny Ji hurriedly said, "Don't worry, young master. Nanny has left a piece."
Xu Yuxuan's eyes were filled with tears, and he was a little nervous: "Really?"
Nanny Ji nodded affirmatively and smiled at Xu Yuxuan, comforting him: "Mammy will not lie."
She had not reminded the young master, not only because she saw that he enjoyed the meal, but also because she saw her husband bought two boxes.
That should mean that the young master and the second lady each get one box.
The reason why the young master was asked to leave half for the second lady was that the young master was worried that the young master would eat it all and would not be able to eat dinner.
After all, the young master still loves the young master, Nanny Ji thought in her heart, it’s just that the young master appears cold on the outside but is actually warm on the inside, and it’s not obvious on the surface.
With Nanny Ji's assurance, Xu Yuxuan gradually relaxed.
Rendong wiped his hands with a wet towel, and Hexiang went to pour a cup of warm water. Xu Yuxuan wanted to drink it himself. He held the teacup with his two little hands and drank it in two gulps.
Nanny Ji then asked him if he wanted to go to the yard to play for a while.
Xu Yuxuan's attention was diverted, and he said, "I want to play hide and seek!"
Nanny Ji agreed immediately, and then told He Xiang: "Go and call a few of the maids in the young master's courtyard, and have them come over to play hide-and-seek with him."
The lotus fragrance responded, and she bowed and left.
At this time Xu Yuxuan suddenly went to pull Madam Ji and said, "Madam, come play too~"
Madam Ji: "...Okay, Madam, play!"
If you can kick a shuttlecock, then playing hide-and-seek is no problem.
According to the customs of the Dajin Dynasty, if a man and a woman are getting engaged and are planning to hold an engagement banquet, both the man and the woman's families must arrange one.
The Duke's Mansion is only related to the Lu family, so they only attended the Lu family's party.
The Wen family's engagement party was held ten days ago. As the Wen family's relative, Aunt Xu took her daughter-in-law to the party.
Therefore, among them, apart from Mrs. Wen, only Aunt Xu had seen the second grandson of the Wen family who was engaged to Lu Xinyan up close.
When there were outsiders around, Aunt Xu didn't talk much. She was the type who would nod and smile twice and then reply after someone said three sentences. She only spoke more frequently in front of her own people.
It just so happened that at the engagement banquet, the whole table was filled with family members.
After the engagement banquet, Aunt Xu still felt a little unsatisfied. Wen Ye listened to it but was not satisfied either.
She and Aunt Xu looked at each other, feeling quite reluctant to leave.
Since there were outsiders present, Wen hurried forward and openly and secretly asked Aunt Xu to get on the sedan chair. After giving birth to the child, she became much braver.
At the instruction of her eldest aunt, Yao stepped forward and quietly reminded Wen Ye.
Wen Ye turned around with regret and walked towards the carriage of the Duke's Mansion with Yao.
Before getting into the sedan chair, the eldest aunt came over and said, "Even I can't stand her whispering sometimes, but you seem to be still enjoying it."
Wen Ye said in a high-sounding manner: "Aunt is just helping me better understand the relationship between the noble families in Shengjing."
When she was at the Wen family, she had few opportunities to hear these gossips.
Mrs. Lu, who had already gotten into the sedan chair, opened the side curtain and said with a gentle look in her eyes, "Aunt, please get into the sedan chair quickly. It's getting late."
The eldest aunt smiled and went to the sedan chair at the back. Yao nodded slightly to Wen Ye, and then followed the eldest aunt.
Yunzhi also came over to help Wenye.
Wen Ye bent down and stepped into the sedan chair, thinking in her heart that the Duke's Mansion was truly a place built with her conscience for her retirement for the rest of her life.
She loved the personalities of both of her aunts; one was someone she could eat and play with, and the other was someone she could gossip with.
And Lu.
Mrs. Lu was even more versatile. She pushed her directly into the waste pit. Wen Ye enjoyed lying in the waste pit.
Afraid that this little piece of trash would starve to death, Lu would occasionally throw banknotes and gems into the bottom of the pit.
She also has children of different ages for her to tease and play with, and a legal husband who is handsome, good-tempered, and always reports his itinerary to her when he is too busy at work to come home. He is self-disciplined and does not have any affairs.
Thinking of this, Wen Ye got into the carriage and smiled at Lu.
In my heart, I sighed and said, sister-in-law, thank you for being so blind to choose me.
Lu was confused by her smile, and couldn't help wondering what Wen was up to next.
Just when Lu was about to ask, Wen Ye came closer and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind."
Lu: “…”
Something is wrong.
When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was almost 3 p.m. Wen Ye and Lu quickly separated after entering the mansion, one heading west and the other going straight ahead.
After being out all day, I still feel a little tired.
On the way back to the West Courtyard, Wen Ye met Ren Dong.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and after the other party finished the greeting, she asked, "Young Master is in the West Courtyard?"
Honeysuckle replied respectfully, "Yes."
Wen Ye said nothing more and continued to move forward.
Honeysuckle followed behind with a tray on which were neatly arranged a set of winter clothes, shoes and socks for the children.
As soon as Wen Ye entered the west courtyard, he saw Xu Yuxuan under the corridor, his little feet moving constantly as if the ground was burning his feet.
Spring hasn't even arrived yet.
Later, Wen Ye found out that the boy was playing hide-and-seek with Nanny Ji and a few others. He was walking in a hurry and accidentally stepped on his right foot with his left foot, and sat down on the muddy ground.
Fortunately, it was a mud floor. If it was a bluestone floor, his little butt would have turned into a bruise even if it didn't break.
The clothes were stained with mud and could not be worn, so Nanny Ji quickly asked Rendong to go back and get a new set of clothes to change into.
By the time Xu Yuxuan changed into clean clothes, Wen Ye had already drunk two cups of tea.
For some reason, Wen Ye felt as if he could see guilt on Xu Yuxuan's face?
Or to her?
Xu Yuxuan stopped after walking out of the inner room and looked at Wen Ye for a long time.
Just when Wen Ye was about to avert his gaze, Xu Yuxuan moved with small steps. He walked over and climbed onto the stool with the help of Nanny Ji. He used his hands to lift the teapot and found that it couldn't be lifted. He quickly looked at Nanny Ji.
Nanny Ji guessed what he meant and tentatively poured him a cup of tea.
Xu Yuxuan held up the teacup with both hands and slowly moved towards Wen Ye: "Mother, have some tea~"
Wen Ye, who was about to drink her third cup of tea, hesitated for a moment before accepting the tea from Xu Yuxuan. But before drinking it, she wanted to ask, "Did you do anything to let me down?"
Xu Yuxuan shook his head and played dumb.
Wen Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Nanny Ji behind him: "Nanny, you can't be afraid that I will tell my sister-in-law about Xuan'er's fall today, so you let him bribe me with this cup of tea?"
Then this bribe is too little.
Nanny Ji's mouth twitched, and she said, "Second Madam, you are thinking in the wrong direction. Even if you didn't mention what happened today, I would still apologize to the Duke's wife. As for the young master's behavior, is it a sign of filial piety?"
"Really?" Wen Ye's tone was somewhat regretful.
She looked at Xu Yuxuan again, observed him carefully, and asked Madam Ji again: "Are you sure he didn't do anything to let me down?"
Aunt Ji: “…No.”
Nanny Ji subconsciously ignored the snack issue.
Wen Ye was skeptical. After drinking her tea, she stood up and walked towards the inner room. She had to put a few hairpins on her hair before going out to a banquet.
Wen Ye asked Yunzhi to help him take them all off.
Xu Yuxuan has been following her closely, and it doesn't look like nothing happened.
Wen Ye washed off the rouge on her face, wiped off her lip balm, and reached for a corner of the dressing table. Someone got there before her. Xu Yuxuan knelt on a stool, leaned over to take the perfume and handed it to Wen Ye, saying softly, "Mother, apply perfume~"
Wen Ye: “…”
And said it was okay.
Wen Ye is now certain that Xu Yuxuan must have done something to let her down, which is why he is being so attentive to her now.
She was not in a hurry. This boy couldn't hide things, and she would know sooner or later.
In the evening, at the hour of You, meal was served in the west courtyard.
Xu Yuxuan seldom had dinner in the West Courtyard, but today he stayed for the first time. He used to sit between Wen Ye and Xu Yuejia, but tonight he had to sit next to Wen Ye.
After the meal was served, Xu Yuejia also appeared in the west courtyard on time.
I heard from Liu Ya that Xu Yuejia has not gone out since she came back from the palace.
After Wen Ye called out "My dear", she discovered that he was holding a box that looked like a snack.
Then he put the box on the dining table and pushed it towards her.
Wen Ye took a look at the box and asked, "What is this?"
Xu Yuejia glanced at the little figure hiding behind Wen Ye and said, "On the way back, I came across a newly opened snack shop."
Wen Ye's eyes became more suspicious. What happened to this father and son today?
It's abrupt, stiff and hard to understand.
Meeting her gaze, Xu Yuejia paused for a moment and added, "The shop has just opened, and there is a promotion, buy one get one free."
Wen Ye said, "Oh!", "I didn't expect you to be so frugal and diligent in managing the household."
Xu Yuejia, who had nothing to say, said: "......Yeah."
Wen Ye was speechless for a moment. She just said it casually. You really dare to admit it.
Wait, Wen Ye raised her eyes again and asked, "Didn't they say buy one get one free? Where's the free gift?"
Under Wen Ye's gaze, Xu Yuejia's eyes shifted an inch. Wen Ye followed his line of sight and turned behind him, revealing the guilty look of the child in front of everyone.
The corner of Wen Ye's mouth twitched, and he finally understood the boy's series of "incomprehensible" behaviors before the evening.
Xu Yuxuan said in a panic: "Mammy, I left one piece!"
After saying this, he looked at Nanny Ji, hoping that she could help him.
Aunt Ji: “…”
I'm sorry, young master, I was just trying to coax you.
From Nanny Ji's expression, Wen Ye roughly understood that the so-called "staying" was probably to coax Xu Yuxuan.
Xu Yuejia added: "I originally told him to leave half for you."
Xu Yuxuan was shocked and looked at Xu Yuejia as if he was a traitor.
Wen Ye couldn't help but laughed.
She pinched Xu Yuxuan's small hair bag and said, "Fortunately, your father knew to hide a box first."
Seeing that she didn't seem angry, Xu Yuxuan boldly moved closer. Now he was not in a hurry and could explain it more clearly: "Father bought too little and left none."
The explanation is not very clear, but his ability to blame others is first-rate.
Wen Ye opened the snack box and found that there was an even smaller box inside, about the size of a palm. When she opened it again, she found several small and exquisite snacks.
Under the gaze of the father and son, Wen Ye tasted a piece.
Xu Yuxuan tilted his head, as if he was eating it himself, and said excitedly: "Delicious!"
“It’s OK.”
For Wen Ye, who has tried most of the delicacies in the world, the snacks tasted good, but not the best.
Xu Yuxuan thought it was delicious, but it seemed that he didn't have much experience in eating it.
After eating a piece, Wen Ye asked, "Which snack shop did you buy it from, my dear?"
It turns out that you can't trust men's judgment. As long as it doesn't taste bad, they think it's good.
Xu Yuejia: "Nan'an Street, Caiyunzhai."
"Caiyunzhai?" I've never heard of it. It looks like a newly opened shop.
However, Wen Ye asked again: "Why did you suddenly think of buying snacks for Xuan'er?"
Xu Yuejia glanced at Nanny Ji, who understood and quietly left.
Xu Yuejia said: "The emperor ordered someone to buy a box for Princess Changle today."
After hearing this, Wen Ye immediately changed his tone and said, "This snack is really delicious."
Why did the adults change their expressions? Xu Yuxuan asked in confusion, "Mother?"
Xu Yuejia: "......"
