Chapter 335 You should carry a few more red envelopes with you!
Lu Jinchuan raised the corner of his lips and was about to step forward, but Mrs. Xiao rushed forward hurriedly, pulling her son.
Yun Che's brows knitted together suddenly, and he was about to yell, "Who let these strangers in here..."?
Madam Xiao hurriedly held up her husband's badge and bowed hastily to Yun Che: "Your Highness, the Regent Prince, is greeted by your Majesty!"
"No need to be polite!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Madam Xiao's eager gaze fell on Xiao Tangbao, as if she was completely unaware of the Regent's displeasure.
"This lovely little fairy child must be Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, right?!"
She had a smile on her face, but she secretly used her teeth to pull out Xiao Qingye who was hiding behind her.
Tang Bao blinked and recognized him: "Brother Qingye?"
"Tang, Tangbao sister..." Xiao Qingye scratched his head in embarrassment. Seeing that there was mud under his nails, he quickly hid his hands behind his back.
Seeing her son stuttering and being hesitant, Mrs. Xiao laughed dryly and pinched Xiao Qingye hard!
"Hehe... this child just rolled around on the ground and felt his clothes were dirty. He was afraid that Her Royal Highness would see him and dislike him, so he was too embarrassed to face anyone..."
"Actually, he's been talking about wanting to visit the little prince for a long time, and he's been thinking about how the little prince is recovering every day..."
Before, she didn’t understand why her youngest son suddenly liked playing with girls?
Now that she saw this little prince, not only did she think he was her son, but she herself also liked him very much!
Wow, look at this delicate little thing... So white, tender and soft like a glutinous rice dumpling, so adorable!
Girl dolls are better!
Why is her belly so disappointing? She only gives birth to sons and not daughters?!
Xiao Qingye felt pain and subconsciously raised his head with a grin on his face. Only then did he see that Xiao Tangbao, who had grown one year older, had become so thin that his chin pointed.
His mood suddenly turned bad.
"Sister Tangbao! Come home with me! My dad hunted a lot of game, and he's hiding it all away, not wanting to give it to us! Come here, I'll have the chef prepare it all and pack it up for you to take away!"
"My eldest brother is getting married, and he can give you a big red envelope! My second brother has hidden a box of rare treasures. Go there, take a look and take whatever you like!"
"And don't you like shiny things? My grandmother has so many in her dressing table..."
Haha! Haha...
Mrs. Xiao's mouth twitched when she heard this.
Without waiting for little Tangbao to respond, Lu Jinchuan stepped forward and politely greeted Yun Che and the other adults, then smiled at Tangbao.
Even though Tang Bao was still young, and the person opposite was just a child... Yun Che still involuntarily stepped back an inch, and tightened his arms around little Tang Bao.
Xiao Tangbao frowned slightly, thinking that his father might be tired...
She looked at Lu Jinchuan, who had grown much taller, and opened her arms towards him.
Lu Jinchuan was secretly delighted. He ignored Yun Che's glare that threatened to kill him and reached out to pick up Tang Bao.
Xiao Qingye lowered his eyes to look at his dirty self, and lowered his head in disappointment... He also wanted to hug Tang Bao.
It seems that she can't come home for dinner today...
The next time I see her will probably be when school starts in spring, right?
Xiao's mother saw all of her son's little emotions...
Her beautiful fox eyes turned slightly, and before Lu Jinchuan's hand was about to touch Tang Bao, she was quick to grab his little hand.
"Oh my god! This must be the lucky young master from Lord Lu's family. He's so handsome!"
"Jinchuan meets Madam Xiao!"
"Oh my! This kid is not only handsome, but also very polite!"
"I heard you're a very good student and a calm child, unlike my naughty boy who climbs up the roof and tears down the tiles all day long, making me worry all the time!"
As she spoke, she took out a red envelope from her bosom and stuffed it into Lu Jinchuan's hand without saying anything. "It's the New Year. This is the New Year's money from your aunt. Keep it well!"
Just as Lu Jinchuan was about to decline, Madam Xiao became even more enthusiastic: "Good boy, come to your aunt's house more often when you have time! Set a good example for my Qingye!"
"Besides, don't you kids all love soft, sticky, and sweet meals? My aunt has a cook who's an expert in southern cuisine. Her cooking skills are top-notch, and she'll definitely let you taste all the flavors of Jiangnan!"
As she said this, Madam Xiao secretly glanced at Xiao Tangbao's expression, and felt a wave of insecurity in her heart... Where was the southern cook in her house?!
If the little princess could honor us by visiting her house, she does have a mother from Jiangnan, just two streets away!
She held Lu Jinchuan's hand tightly and insisted that he accept the red envelope.
After all, they were all from official families, and there were many officials present... Lu Jinchuan was at a loss and could only look to his grandfather for help.
Seeing this, Mr. Lu hurried forward and was about to speak when he heard the seemingly gentle Madam Xiao say, "This is New Year's money for the children. It has nothing to do with you!"
"No, old man..."
"Why? Could it be that, with Lord Lu as an example, the civil officials in the court still look down on our military family and refuse to let the child accept even a red envelope?"
These words left Mr. Lu speechless for a moment. He could only awkwardly take out the red envelope originally prepared for the Crown Princess and hand it to Xiao Qingye next to him.
Seeing that the Xiao family's child did not refuse, his heart suddenly ached!
That was all his pocket money that he had saved by living frugally!
That’s a full two hundred taels of silver!
He couldn't open it on the spot and exchange it for some change... If he had known this, he should have carried a few more red envelopes with him!
Seeing that Xiao Qingye accepted the red envelope from his grandfather, Lu Jinchuan had no choice but to accept Mrs. Xiao's kindness and thank her.
He was just about to invite Tang Bao to go to the Lu Mansion to play, but Madam Xiao had already swiftly taken off a heavy gold bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it directly into Tang Bao's hand.
Tang Bao felt that the golden bracelet was too valuable, and she pulled her hand back.
Yun Che also felt that it was inappropriate, and his brows were twisted into knots. How could you give a child a big gold bracelet when you first meet him?
Mrs. Xiao saw this and said hurriedly: "I have no other intentions, it's just that the red envelopes I brought with me today just happened to have been delivered..."
She thought for a moment, afraid that the other party would misunderstand the bracelet for some special meaning, so she quickly exerted force with her hands and actually crushed the gold bracelet into a golden lump. "This is indeed the New Year's money for His Highness!"
Yun Che was secretly frightened… The bracelet had nearly fallen to the ground just now. He casually lifted it up with his hand and estimated that it weighed at least two or three taels. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to break it with his bare hands!
This Madam Xiao is indeed a hidden talent!
Taking advantage of Yun Che's distraction, she actually reached out and hugged little Tangbao over to him, "The Regent is busy with official duties, Your Highness, please come to my house for lunch at noon! I will definitely send Your Highness back to the palace safely in the evening!"
