Of course, Tong Mingyu could not be concealed from this matter. What surprised Xiao Jingkang and Xiao Yao was that she was not as angry as before.
And it wasn't just Tong Mingyu who was acting abnormally. Li Jiaoying and Qin were both more loving and kind to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao speculated that her statement that each household could only have one mistress had touched the three men. It seemed that, whether ancient or modern, even if women didn't say it, they didn't really want to share a husband. Perhaps she could have a little hope for the future!
I don't ask the other person to be a prominent figure, as long as he doesn't give me a bunch of sisters and friends. Although this wish may not come true, it's okay to think about it, right?
After two more days of classes, the painting was finally completed. After asking Zhihua to keep it, Xiao Yao lay down on the bed with a relaxed mood, ready to take a nap.
It seems like Zhihua is really getting married soon. I can tell from her shy and smiling face these past two days. What should I give her when she gets married? Why is it that other people's marriages are successful, but when it comes to Fourth Uncle, everything goes wrong...
While thinking about this and that, Xiao Yao fell asleep in a daze.
At 3 p.m., a carriage stopped in front of the Xiao family's door. After the carriage stopped, a heroic woman and a little girl with a round face and body got out.
"Oh, it's the Third Madam and the Second Miss who are back. Why didn't you notify us in advance so that we could go out to welcome them?" The doorman greeted the two masters enthusiastically.
"Why bother your family so much?" Yuan Yutong waved his hand and said indifferently.
I just didn't want to trouble everyone too much, so I came back suddenly. It's annoying to think about the whole family going through these empty formalities all day long.
Xiao Yuan stretched the hem of the dress herself, but it felt tight again! Wasn't this dress newly made? The material must be shrinking badly. Yes, that's the reason.
"Is my sister here?" The most obvious advantage of the second young lady of the Xiao family is her sweet voice. When she opens her mouth, her voice is as melodious and beautiful as the first cry of an oriole.
"Yes, yes, the young lady rarely goes out," the concierge said attentively. The young lady, who was as pretty as a fairy, rarely went out. If other families had such a beautiful young lady, wouldn't they take her out often? The concierge shook his head in confusion. The master's thoughts were hard to guess.
"Mom, let's go in quietly. I want to give my sister a surprise." Xiao Yuan discussed with his mother excitedly.
"Are you sure it's a surprise and not a shock? Let me tell you, your sister Ping'an can't stand being frightened." Yuan Yutong warned.
"I know, I know. Am I that kind of person?" Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes at his mother.
"You are a lady from a wealthy family, not a wild girl. How could you have such bad habits?" This child doesn't look dignified at all. It's really worrying.
After arriving at Ninghe Hall, Xiao Yuan greeted everyone from his grandmother to his aunt, and gave them countless surprises and shocks. Then he strongly requested to see his sister and refused to wait even a moment longer.
"Your sister hasn't woken up from her nap yet!" Tong Mingyu also wanted to wake up her daughter. She had slept too much and would have difficulty falling asleep at night. Looking at her little niece, Tong Mingyu thought that even if her daughter wanted to go to bed early today, it would probably be difficult.
"Can't I go and see?" Xiao Yuan also imitated her sister and tried to blink and act pitiful, but she looked very funny. After her actions, she didn't look pitiful, but was obviously funny.
"Please stop looking like that." Both his son and daughter like to imitate Ping An, but when Ping An does the same action, it looks charming and lovely, while his son looks weird and funny, and his daughter looks ridiculous. But they are both unaware of it and feel very good about themselves.
"Xiying, accompany the second young lady." Go, go, otherwise you will have a stomachache tonight if you laugh for too long. Compared with Ruyi, Ping'an looks much more ladylike, of course, only in appearance.
Because Xiao Yao's health hadn't recovered yet, she still lived in the same courtyard with Xiao Jingkang and his wife. General Xiao was quite critical of this, saying that he doted on his granddaughter, and his son and daughter-in-law were even more excessive. If it weren't for the obstruction of the couple, perhaps the granddaughter would have moved to Ninghe Hall to accompany her grandparents. They were really allowed to light the lamp, but I was not allowed to set a fire. What an unfilial son.
The side rooms of Yayuan were silent. Xiaofu, standing guard outside the door, yawned boredly, while Xiaohui concentrated on knitting. Seeing the two of them rise and try to greet him, Xiao Yuan quickly made a hushed gesture, raising a chubby finger to his lips. He'd learned this from his sister. Would he be as playful and adorable as hers? Xiao Yuan didn't let his imagination run wild and hurried to the bed.
Xiying hurriedly chased after him, determined not to let this little ancestor scare the eldest lady, otherwise all her journey would be in vain.
A corner of the bed curtain was lifted, and Xiao Yuan put her head in first. Her sister was sleeping so soundly, should she wake her up? Or should she sleep in the same bed together for once? Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment and chose the latter. Although the two sisters often slept in the same bed, her sister disliked her for not sleeping well, so she always slept in her own quilt. But she really liked her sister's scent of milk mixed with flowers. Today, she could finally... have a kiss with her. This was what Xiao Yuan overheard her father say to her mother.
Xiao Yuan swiftly kicked off his shoes and quickly climbed onto the bed from his sister's feet. He tiptoed to lift a corner of the quilt and snuck in happily. It was so warm and fragrant! Xiao Yuan hummed softly in enjoyment and quickly covered his mouth with both hands, making sure not to wake his sister up, otherwise his sweet dream would be ruined.
Xiao Yao, who had been sleeping for half the afternoon, clearly felt some movement around her. She thought it was a maid calling her.
When Xiao Yao opened her eyes sleepily and saw the face in front of her, she blinked twice and closed them again, muttering, "I dreamed of Ruyi again."
"Hehe, hehe, sister, do you miss me?" Xiao Yuan touched his cheek narcissistically. It turned out that not only his sister had the potential to bring disaster to the country and the people, but he himself was also loved by everyone and flowers bloomed wherever he went.
When Xiao Yao heard the voice, she opened her eyes wide instantly and reached out to touch it. It was warm and smooth. It turned out that it was not a dream. Ruyi really came back.
"Surprise no."
Xiao Yao nodded quickly in response and was about to stand up.
"Lie down for a while, just a little while." Xiao Yuan gestured with his hands to show that it really was just a little while, and leaned the chubby body towards his sister's arms. Xiao Yuan thought to himself if he persuaded his sister to take another nap now, would she agree?
"Ladies, do you two want to get up?" Xiying asked as she lifted the bed curtain.
"No." Xiao Yuan objected quickly.
"Shall we get up and play?" Xiao Yao didn't have the habit of staying in bed, so she would get up as soon as she woke up.
"Didn't we agree to lie down for a while?" Xiao Yuanfang said, and threw Xiao Yao, who had just sat up, down. The two sisters played around on the bed for a while, tickling each other. When they got up again, the maids couldn't help but laugh.
The eldest daughter's hair was disheveled, her face flushed, and she looked exhausted. The second daughter's clothes were wide open, and she was sprawled on the bed, panting and sprawled.
"The old general has returned home and wants to see the two young ladies. Oh, what's going on?" Nanny Zhang, who had just entered the room, asked in surprise.
The second young lady is full of surprises when she returns! I have never seen the eldest young lady like this before.
Nanny Zhang and Xiying worked together to change the clothes and groom the two young ladies. After everything was ready, they were carried by two maids and the group headed towards Ninghe Hall.
"I can walk by myself." Xiao Yuan wanted to refuse. The smell of that old woman was not pleasant at all, and was far worse than that of her sister.
You can walk by yourself, but our lady is tired, so you two can only be treated the same.
"Ruyi, I'm tired and can't walk anymore. Can we go to Ninghe Hall and come down first?" It's been more than five years, and I thought I had almost recovered. Alas! This small body is really worrying!
