Since the princess likes it, it must be delicious.
Wen Ye said seriously, "Try it, my dear, and you will know whether I am lying or not."
It just so happened that she didn't really want to continue eating.
Compared to these exquisite little snacks, Wen Ye still felt that the table full of delicacies pleased her more.
Wen Ye stopped Xu Yuxuan who was still eager to eat and said, "You have already eaten one box, so leave the remaining box for your father."
Xu Yuxuan then looked eagerly at Xu Yuejia opposite him.
Xu Yuejia ignored her son's gaze, lowered her head and took a sip. After a moment, she said, "Maybe the servant bought the wrong one."
Wen Ye pretended to be surprised: "My dear, you are absolutely right."
Then he quickly changed the subject and called out to Nanny Ji, asking her to come in and serve Xu Yuxuan his meal.
Xu Yuejia also took this opportunity to quietly push the snack box away.
The snack box with two snacks missing was placed lonely on the corner of the table. The family of three had a harmonious dinner.
After the meal, Xu Yuejia returned to the study in the front yard, and Xu Yuxuan also asked Wen Ye to ask Nanny Ji to carry the baby back to the main yard.
It was still early, and Wen Ye, who had eaten and drunk enough, walked slowly around the hall to help digest his food.
Taozhi stood in the center of the circle holding a storybook and began to read clearly word by word.
Wen Ye listened happily and thought, who said there was no aloud reading in ancient times? This is it.
After the audio reading was finished, Wen Ye took a comfortable bath and fell asleep at 11 p.m.
If you go to bed early at night, you naturally won’t be able to sleep very late the next day.
Wen Ye woke up in the middle of the Mao hour.
There was nothing to do all day today, so Wen Ye had a leisurely breakfast.
I continued reading the story I didn’t finish last night.
After a while, Liu Ya came in and announced that the young master had come to the west courtyard. Wen Ye put down the storybook and told Yun Zhi to spread a thick blanket on the empty space next to the couch and pour a lot of rare things bought from the West Market on it.
As soon as Xu Yuxuan arrived at the west courtyard, he was attracted by the strange things all over the floor and naturally rushed over.
The study also had a floor heating system and was covered with a soft, thick plush carpet, so he wouldn't get cold or bump into anything.
Now the west study is no longer what it was when Wen Ye first came in. The original desk and chairs have been squeezed to the edge, and the large open space in the middle has become Xu Yuxuan's playground.
Xu Yuxuan had never played so recklessly before. When he entered the study, he just called out "Mom", and then his mind was filled with the toys on the floor in front of him.
Wen Ye responded calmly, then continued to lie on the couch beside her, concentrating on reading the storybook.
This kid Xu Yuxuan really lived up to the saying 'Children grow up with the wind'. In the blink of an eye, it became difficult to hold him.
Wen Ye will not make things difficult for himself. If one toy doesn't attract him, then he'll get a box.
The mother and son were separated by a short distance, without interfering with each other, and were in harmony.
However, sometimes when Xu Yuxuan was having fun, he would call Wen Ye "Mother", and Wen Ye would respond.
After reading the ending of the story in his hand, Wen Ye moved and glanced to the side, only to see that the two maids, He Xiang and Ren Dong, were accompanying Xu Yuxuan.
Where is Nanny Ji?
Wen Ye was puzzled and asked: "Ren Dong, is Nanny Ji out?"
When Xu Yuxuan came to the West Courtyard, she was at a critical moment and didn't pay much attention to how many people came with Xu Yuxuan.
Ren Dong said respectfully, "Madam, Nanny Ji is not feeling well and is unable to serve the young master in person for the next two days."
Wen Ye heard this, sat up and said, "Weren't you fine yesterday?"
Honeysuckle explained, "Yesterday, when you were not in the west courtyard, the young master wanted to watch shuttlecock kicking, so Nanny Ji learned how to kick it for him. It was nothing special at first, but after a night, Nanny Ji suddenly found that her legs had become sore and stiff when she woke up in the morning. Now she has difficulty walking."
When Wen Ye heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked again: "Have you asked a doctor to see him?"
Honeysuckle nodded: "Yes, the doctor said that I have injured some of my bones and muscles and need to rest for a few days."
Wen Ye: "Let Madam Ji have a good rest. You and He Xiang will have to work hard recently."
Ren Dong hurriedly said, "It is my duty to take care of the young master."
Wen Ye curled the corners of his lips and said nothing more. He just looked at Xu Yuxuan a few more times and thought to himself, he is also a tormentor.
In fact, if you count carefully, Nanny Ji is only 39 this year. It's just that if someone who has neglected jumping sports for many years suddenly plays shuttlecock for a long time, it would be strange if her legs are not "wasted" the next day.
After the end of the first month of the year, the weather began to warm up. Wen Ye also learned from Xu Yuejia that Princess Changle's study partner had been chosen, and Wen Ran was not surprisingly eliminated.
The princess had two study companions, one was the youngest daughter of the fourth wife of the Minister of Honglu Temple, and the other was the daughter of the eldest wife of the Hanlin Academician.
Xu Yuejia put down the book and said, "This matter has been settled. The two companions will enter the palace soon. You can rest assured."
Wen Ye: "Thank you very much for this, my lord."
Xu Yuejia: “I didn’t do anything about it.”
Wen Ye knew that he had only told her the reasons and conditions for the emperor to choose a study partner.
"However," Xu Yuejia said as if she had thought of something, "your fifth sister is the one who got the most excellent grades in several small tests in this election."
After hearing this, Wen Ye said proudly, "My little sister is very smart, it is normal for her to get first place."
Xu Yuejia raised her lips slightly and said, "I remember that you are from the same mother."
Wen Ye sensed something was wrong. She looked up at Xu Yuejia and immediately counterattacked: "At least I can solve some problems as soon as I learn them, unlike my husband who only knows one way over and over again."
The counterattack is over, go to sleep.
Wen Ye put down the book, pulled up the quilt, and said with her back to him, "My dear, remember to turn off the lights."
This is a question of a man's dignity, and even Xu Yuejia would not admit it.
So after turning off the lights, Xu Yuejia said, "The process is not important."
It sounds a bit arrogant, Wen Ye: "......"
How dare you mention the process?
The piece of brocade given by Shen was more than enough to make two sets of spring clothes for the children. Seeing that there was quite a bit left, Aunt Chang made another set for Wen Ye. She temporarily put away the remaining scraps, intending to use them to sew some small items.
When the three sets of clothes were finished, Wen Ran failed to be selected as the princess's companion. Aunt Chang was afraid that her daughter would be sad, so she didn't bother to send the clothes to the main courtyard.
She asked the kitchen to prepare some of her little daughter's favourite meals.
In fact, Wen Ran was not sad at all. She could accept either result, whether she was chosen or not. She originally wanted to tell the truth to her aunt, but when she saw her favorite dishes being served on the table, she temporarily swallowed her true feelings back.
Forget it, I'll talk to my aunt after we finish this meal.
Candied sweet potato, sweet braised pork, milk tea with double the sugar, and soft and glutinous red bean cake.
Wen Ran is in the process of changing her teeth recently, so she rarely eats so many sweets at once.
Aunt Chang wanted to comfort her daughter, so she asked the kitchen to add a few desserts.
Wen Ran drank the sweet milk tea in small sips. She was always precocious, and her expression was more expressive than usual.
After eating almost everything, Wen Ran rinsed her mouth and told Aunt Chang the truth: "Aunt, I'm not sad at all."
Aunt Chang, who was about to offer her final consolation, said: "?"
Wen Ran said honestly, "Not being selected has its advantages. The Emperor gave the top three candidates many good things."
She was ranked first, and she had more than the second and third place combined. Wen Ran felt that the emperor was even more generous than her father.
If the princess could choose a reading partner every year, she would get more good things.
Because Wen Ran discovered that the emperor did not seem to choose a study partner for the princess based on who scored the highest in the exam.
Wen Ran didn't have much confidence as she was the last one in the exam, but she was still quite confident as she was the first one.
Aunt Chang glanced at the maids serving her little daughter and asked, "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Wen Ran said, "I told them not to tell Auntie first."
She had wanted to give her aunt a surprise before dinner, but who knew that her aunt would come to comfort her first.
Aunt Chang glanced at the table full of sweet dishes and was confused at the moment.
Wen Ran smiled and said, "I just looked through it and found some nice jades. I want to give them to my fourth sister to make jewelry."
Aunt Chang thought for a moment and said, "Pick one piece and keep the rest for yourself. After all, it is a gift."
Wen Ran nodded, not quite understanding.
The jade and three sets of clothes were delivered to the Duke's Mansion three days later.
Of course, there weren't just these two things. Shen also added some things. After all, it was sent in her name.
Although she didn't like Wen Ye, she couldn't let the Duke's Mansion think that the Wen family was too shabby.
When Wen Ye received these, she was staying in the main courtyard, having her body measured by a nanny.
Therefore, the things sent by the Wen family were sent to the main courtyard.
The spring clothes for the people in the mansion must be made before the beginning of spring. It is not too late to start measuring the sizes now.
Let's start from the main courtyard first, but Wen Ye happened to be there today, so after Lu finished measuring, she asked the nanny to measure Wen Ye as well.
Looking at Wen Ye who was spinning around in front of her, Lu began to think about dressing her up.
She said, "I'll make you a few more spring clothes this year."
"You have a fair complexion and fair skin, so you look good in any kind of clothes."
Wen Ye said shamelessly: "I think so too, sister-in-law has a good eye."
Lu: “…”
The masters of the Duke's Mansion have four sets of clothes for each season.
This was just a rule in the mansion. Mrs. Lu would often give extra cloth and ask the embroiderer to make a few more pieces.
Wen Ye got married in the early winter, and the clothes in her suitcase were the dowry prepared for her by the Wen family. They were probably last year's styles, so they were somewhat outdated. They were fine for wearing at home, but not suitable for going out.
There are many banquets in spring, so it’s just right to make a few extra ones in advance.
Mrs. Lu asked the nanny to measure it carefully.
I heard that there was a set of clothes for Xuan Ge'er in the box sent by the Wen family. Lu took out the clothes and took a quick look at them. The stitches were fine, the size was right, and the style was also good.
Now Xuan Ge'er also has clothes made by his grandmother.
As for which grandmother it was, Lu didn't want to delve into it.
In addition to the items for Xuan'er, there were also two sets of women's clothing. It was obvious who they were for. As for the jade and letter pressed on the clothes, Lu did not touch them.
After the embroidery nanny finished measuring Wen Ye, Lu took a look at the spring robe that the Wen family had made for Xuan'er, as well as the two other clothes in the box that were also made of Yunjin.
Wen's aunt definitely couldn't provide such good material, so it could only have been provided by Shen.
Lu paused, raised her eyes and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have a few Shujin horses, and there is one whose color suits you very well. I will ask Qingxue to send it to you later."
Wen Ye glanced at the child's robe in Lu's hand: "......"
Why did she sense a hint of competition in his voice?
