As the two families, each with their own thoughts, coexisted in a strange peaceful manner, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month arrived.
The prosperous Kyoto is decorated with colorful lanterns of various kinds. The Xiao family also has a corridor. There are many lanterns hanging on the treetops, including jade rabbit lanterns, butterfly lanterns... Against the backdrop of candlelight, the lanterns are in different postures and are beautiful beyond words.
The three brothers, unable to return home, didn't forget their younger siblings. Everyone received a gift: Xiao Rui, Xiao Jun, and Xiao Qi each received a revolving lantern. Xiao Yao also received three exquisite little lanterns. Everyone also remembered Yiyuan's youngest sister, who also received three lanterns. Xiao Rui shook his head, saying, "That's too much favoritism, too much. Boys' status in the family is far inferior to girls."
"You can go out and play at night, but your sisters have to stay at home. Why don't you stay and I'll buy you some lanterns." Xiao Jingtai slapped his nephew's butt with his big hand, looking unsatisfied.
"Ajun and Aqi can't get out either!" Uncle, who are you kidding?
"That's because they're young. They can go out during the Lantern Festival next year. But Ping An and my little sister have to wait until they're six or seven years old, or even older, to see the lantern festival, okay?"
"Why?"
"Of course girls are different. It doesn't matter if you get bumped or bruised, but it's different for them. Especially since Ping An is so pretty, how can she just go out like that?"
You mean, it doesn't matter if we brothers get hurt or something happens, as long as Ping'an and my little sister are okay, right? Second uncle, are you trying to persuade me or to discourage me? Is there anyone who comforts people like you?
"Can you speak? Arei must be so sad." Li Jiaoying was very angry.
"I'm telling the truth!"
"You can't tell the truth. It will make people sad. Do you understand?"
Judging from the way you persuade people, if you two say you are not a family, I guess no one will believe you.
Looking at Xiao Rui's increasingly aggrieved face, Xiao Jingkang really... wanted to laugh.
"Ari, when you go out tonight, ask your second uncle for anything you like. If he dares not buy it for you, come back and tell me." Since my nephew has made me so happy, it's time for you to pay.
"Why me? I have to play with him and pay for it. This is not fair, brother." Xiao Jingtai grumbled dissatisfiedly.
"If you want fairness, go talk to father, or you can talk to my third brother."
After thinking about it, they decided to give up. The uncle and nephew, who were both in a bad mood, went out feeling aggrieved.
Xiao Jingkang wrapped his daughter like a rice dumpling and held her in his arms. The young masters were carried by the guards and walked around the mansion. As for the Fang family? They were packing their bags and preparing to move out tomorrow.
After the Lantern Festival, the Fang family moved out, and the name of Yiyuan's second daughter was finally decided. Ruyi was the nickname General Xiao had given his granddaughter in a letter from thousands of miles away; Xiaoyuan was the maiden name given to his daughter by Third Master Xiao.
Xiao Yao longed to ask her grandfather, "If you had another granddaughter, would you name her Jixiang?" She'd guessed right. Given the painful experience of choosing a name last time, General Xiao had opted for a nickname for his granddaughter. "Ruyi" and "Jixiang" were both options, but he felt "Ruyi" sounded better, so on a first-come, first-served basis, it went to Xiao Yuan. "Jixiang" would be reserved for the next granddaughter. See, what foresight! He'd already chosen a granddaughter's name.
Xiao Yuan's figure was just like her sixth brother, Xiao Qi, with a round, chubby figure. Yuan Yutong wanted her to eat less, thinking that since the eldest daughter was pretty and slim, the second daughter couldn't be much worse! Unexpectedly, she was a little girl with a big voice, and she would cry loudly if she ate less. Yuan Yutong, who was usually a decisive person, was forced to compromise again and again under the pressure of his daughter. He let her eat, and she even hummed and hummed comfortably after eating, which made people laugh and cry.
Xiao Yao, holding onto the edge of the bed, was able to walk for a while. She came to her sister and reached out to touch the little person on the bed. She felt smooth and soft. She patted her gently and said, "Be good, be obedient. From now on, your sister will love you." It felt so good to be a sister. I have a younger brother, and now I have a younger sister. I have several brothers in front to protect me, and my younger brothers and sisters behind me. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Yuan Yutong looked at Xiao Yao, then at her daughter, hoping that the two sisters could take care of each other and love each other. Xiao Yao was a reassuring and sensible child, so it all depended on her daughter's personality.
The weather was getting warmer day by day, and Tong Mingyu no longer restricted her daughter. Xiao Yao dressed up beautifully every day, and was led by her maid to walk and play to visit her sister in Yiyuan. The Xiao family was wealthy, and Tong Mingyu was also not short of money, so Xiao Yao's clothes were all made of the best materials and the latest styles, and they were always new. She had two boxes full of jewelry, novel, exquisite, and all the new styles suitable for little girls in the jewelry store. Yuan Yutong admired the little beauty like a flower bud every day, and complained in his heart, "My sister-in-law has a daughter, is it really okay for you to stimulate me like this every day?"
Xiao Yao always goes to look for her sister after taking a nap. At that time, Xiao Yuan is mostly awake, and she never cries when she is well fed and well-drinking. In order for the two sisters to have a better relationship, Yuan Yutong always moves her daughter to the big bed. Xiao Yao kicks off her shoes and lets someone carry her to her sister. She acts like a big sister, patting and coaxing her with ease. Sometimes she secretly pokes her sister's belly with her fingers, and it feels so good! Xiao Yuan not only does not resist, but stretches out and lets him do whatever he wants. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Yuan Yutong just pretends that she saw nothing. A mother cannot deprive others of the right to enjoy, right?
Most of the family was delighted with Xiao Yuan's birth, but the only one who wasn't happy was her older brother, Xiao Rui. He'd always wanted a sister like Ping An! Why hadn't his wish come true? What went wrong? This little girl, whose figure was increasingly resembling A Qi, looked nothing like his sister. Could he discuss a swap with A Jun?
So one day, in Yiyuan, the two girls were playing on the bed, and Xiao Rui whispered to Xiao Jun about wanting to change his sister. When he mentioned it for the nth time, Xiao Jun finally got angry, shook off his hand, and shouted: "No, not only that, it's bad." He stumbled to the bed, pulled up his sister and gestured outside.
"Ajun, what's wrong with you? Did your brother bully you?" Yuan Yutong glared at her son. He was jumping around and playing mischief all day long, and now he has learned to bully his younger brother. He must be itching for trouble.
"Ari, tell me, what did you do to your brother?"
Xiao Rui didn't dare to tell Xiao Jun about his plan. He chuckled foolishly, trying to get away with it. He put his arm around Xiao Jun's shoulders ingratiatingly, winking at him. "Don't tell me, or you'll get a beating today." "My mother is a general's daughter, and even my father is no match for her. With my small body, I'm afraid I'll be unable to get out of bed for days. It's very likely."
Seeing Third Auntie seemed angry, Xiao Jun remained silent, holding his sister's hand tightly without letting go. Ping'an belongs to me, my parents, and my brother. He can't be exchanged. With his first birthday approaching, Xiao Jun could already distinguish between the closest relatives and those who were merely relatives. Yayuan was home to him and his sister, while Yiyuan was home to his fourth brother and his youngest sister.
In order to hide his guilty conscience, Xiao Rui came to the bedside in a flattering manner and said, "Ruyi has become more beautiful, white and... tender, isn't it, mother?" She is obviously white and fat, so he dare not say it. It would be great if he could praise Ping'an, saying that she is beautiful, smart, has big eyes and fair skin... He couldn't say it from the heart, and he didn't dare to be sincere!
If her son hadn't suddenly started praising her daughter, Yuan Yutong would have probably guessed. Now, after a moment's reflection, she understood: her poor daughter was being disdained again. He managed to piss off Xiao Jun, yet he also praised his sister against his will. Haha, this kid still hadn't given up on this and was still thinking about abducting Ping An to Yiyuan.
"snort"
Hearing Yuan Yutong's cold snort, Xiao Rui realized that he was about to be punished.
"Ari, how about letting your mother take your sister to find your father tomorrow and leave Yiyuan to you alone?" The voice was cold and indifferent.
"Mom, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please don't take my sister away." After saying this, she bowed deeply.
"Hehe, hehe" Xiao Yuan laughed, his eyes narrowed into slits, he punched and kicked, and the tender flesh on his belly, arms and legs shook together.
"Puchi" Yuan Yutong couldn't help laughing. His daughter could laugh out loud, and at this moment. "Son, you despised others, but you didn't expect to be laughed at instead. It can be seen that it's not that you don't want to take revenge, but because the time has not come yet."
