Chapter 176: They are friends with their sister
When Shangguan still said this, she was a little embarrassed. No one thought that she would be gone for more than half a year. Now it's been half a year since I'm back. When I got married, I couldn't even say goodbye to them.
"Xing'er is there, in the study?" After Shangguan still sat down, a maid took the kettle and put it down and left in a hurry.
"Right now, he's in a private school, and he's coming back in the middle of the afternoon. "Butler, respectfully replied.
"Well, I see, I'm coming back this time on purpose, to stay for a few days. β
"Uncle Mu is still in his eyes, you are an elder, you don't need to be so restrained in front of me. Sit down and talk. When she saw the butler standing and talking to her, she felt very awkward, so she spoke. She seemed to think of something and continued to ask.
"By the way, is the silver sent to you enough?" Every two months, she would also ask Xue'er to send some silver back as scheduled so that they could use it as living expenses. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, a banquet, a life-saving grace.
Since then, I can't help myself, and I have traveled thousands of miles to make peace.
She's not there, but how can I say that she has lived here for a while, so she can't ignore anything?
The butler sat down on a wooden chair beside him, and replied with an amiable face, "Enough, enoughβthe rest of the old slaves will store it in the storeroom." Every time a sum is saved, the old slave records it once. "Shangguan still pays them every month, and they are twice as much as the outside. He's lived a long time, and he'd never seen a woman as capable as she was?
not only for Xing'er to go to the private school, but also instructed the girl in the house to take care of his elderly grandmother. In this way, things are commanded only in order. Although he is not in the house all the year round, the affairs of the house have not been neglected at all.
All he had seen before were pampered young ladies. is not only arrogant, but never treats them as people, let alone gives them a good face.
The butler said excitedly, with a warm smile on his face. It's very cute to be honest and honest like that. Shangguan still couldn't hold back a "poof" smile.
She nodded, but the smile on her face never faded. "Enough is enough. β
"Ning Xin Pavilion has been cleaning every day, I hope that Miss will be able to live comfortably when she comes back one day, Miss, you go to rest first and wait for the aftermath of the evening, I am informing you. β
"Then there is Uncle Lao Mu, you have to go and get busy in advance, don't worry about me. After the butler left, a maidservant girl came. Shangguan still asked her about the address of Xing'er's private school, so he walked alone to pick up Xing'er on the way to the private school.
The lively avenue is full of people, and hawkers are hawking along the streets. All kinds of groceries are lined with bustling people, passing carriages, and donkeys carrying goods. The sun gradually withdrew its blinding light. The afterglow shines on this antique building, and the hazy color adds a bit of poetry to this avenue.
"Sister Ran!" I heard a childish voice coming from not far away. Shangguan still folded his arms with his hands folded, leaning his back against a stone rock at the gate of the private school. I looked down as if I was thinking about something.
Her eyes lit up with a childish voice, and then she looked up to see the boy she hadn't seen for a long time running towards her, and the smile on his cheek was all he thought of a woman.
It only felt as if something had broken into her arms, Shangguan still did not hide her emotions, she leaned over and bowed, and pinched this elastic little cheek.
"Next time, you can't run so fast, if you fall, my sister will be distressed. Shangguan still admonished with a little seriousness, and her eyes showed her love and concern for this child.
γ Dressed in a straight solid brocade robe, his black hair was set on a crown and held in place by a fine hairpin.
Xing'er's eyes flashed a few times, as if he was thinking about something, the clear spring-like eyes were as bright and transparent as jewels, he pouted, and said righteously: "Xing'er has grown up, she is an adult, and she can already protect Sister Haoran from being bullied by bad people." β
Shangguan still touched his little head. I didn't control my emotions, and I laughed with a "poof".
"Yes, yes, I grew up. It's a man! So little man, let's go home quickly, today my sister asked someone to prepare a lot of delicious food, and brought a gift back to Xing'er. β
Xing'er has indeed grown a lot, and her skin was originally yellow and thin, but now it feels a little round, and it seems that nutrition is really important. Shangguan still got up, took Xing'er's hand, and walked back to the road.
"Something delicious?" Xing'er's eyes couldn't hide her anticipation and excitement when she heard the deliciousness. Then he frowned slightly, puzzled and asked, "Sister, what is a gift?"
"Gifts, that is. Giving something to someone else is called a gift. Shangguan still patiently explained.
Xing'er shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand. Shangguan still smiled. Another serious explanation: "To use a small analogy, Xing'er gives her sister a book, or an object, which can be called a gift. Xing'er made a little clay figure by herself, and it is also called a gift for her sister. β
"Isn't it, as long as Xing'er gives something to her sister, it can be called a gift? Now Xing'er wants to give her sister a gift. Xing'er said innocently.
"Give me a gift?" Shangguan still stopped and swept the handsome boy underneath him. She asked with a slight frown in confusion.
"You crouch down. Xing'er waved at her. Meaning to make her squat.
Shangguan still didn't know what medicine was sold in Xing'er's gourd, but he still paused very cooperatively, but Xing'er kissed her cheek with his soft and lovely lips without paying attention.
"This is Xing'er's gift to Sister Ran. Xing'er finished speaking, with a little shyness.
What a smart little ghost, Shangguan still secretly admires Xing'er's cleverness. She pinched Xing'er's immature cheek helplessly, then got up and took his little hand and strode back.
"Still," the voice behind her stopped her, and she looked back to find the source of the voice, only to see a handsome man in a fine costume approaching, his eyes full of surprise and emotions that she could not speak.
Next to the man is a beautiful woman, the woman's facial features are small and delicate, and her posture is elegant and generous. It's just that the hostile eyes towards her make her particularly annoying, it was none other than Zhao Xin'er, who had not been seen for a long time, and her previous ex-husband Xuanyuan Junhao.
Shangguan was still stunned for a moment, she obviously didn't expect to meet him here under such circumstances, and she couldn't imagine that she would meet him back today.
Xuanyuan Junhao retracted his emotions and swept his eyes to the boy next to Shangguan Yi, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Lord Xuan, Princess Xuan, long time no see. Shangguan still greeted the two of them very politely, but he didn't notice that Zhao Xin'er's face became a little stiff, or ugly.
"Who is this?" Xuanyuan Junhao was a little excluded from what he said to her, and even he wanted to explain that the position of the princess had always been reserved for her, but he didn't.
"Oh...... This is Xing'er, half of my son. Xing'er, these two are my sister's friends, call me uncle and aunt. Shangguan still taught Xing'er very patiently.
"Hello uncle, good aunt. Xing'er didn't understand what an uncle or aunt was, but Shangguan still obeyed him.
Xuanyuan Junhao's face sank, slightly embarrassed. For Shangguan still has a unique style of acting that does not follow common sense, he has become accustomed to it. It's just that he was thinking of letting a child call him Uncle Wang, which made him a little overwhelmed? Xuanyuan Junhao obviously smiled at Xing'er very politely. It's just that Zhao Xin'er has a disgusted expression.
Shangguan still glanced at Zhao Xin'er, but saw that she still looked high. "Princess Xuan is so blessed, it is really annoying to let King Xuan cut things like this to accompany you to relieve your boredom, and I am still relieved to see you so loving. β
"Why didn't the king of Chu see him with you? "Zhao Xin'er, obviously deliberately targeted. In the past year, for her, the time has been a torment. Xuanyuan Junhao not only did not support her to ascend to the position of princess, but he also became more and more indifferent to her. Now that she is here in front of her again, how can she not hate?
Seeing that Chu Chen was not with her, he became sarcastic out of nothing.
"How can Princess Xuan think about my Xinfu so much, isn't it looking forward to it every day? I was swept out of the house that day? Princess Xuan is still like this, as usual like to make something out of nothing?" Shangguan still said Princess Xuan, and Zhao Xinxiang's face turned green with anger, she really felt in her heart that after Xuanyuan Junhao took a leave of absence from her, she would live a good life with Zhao Xin'er and help her as a concubine. It's just to say hello to people but it's so unpopular, so it's not up to them to say more.
"I'm sorry two, it's not early, don't disturb the two Yaxing, farewell. β
"Xing'er, say goodbye to your uncle and aunt. β
"Goodbye," Xing'er waved her little hand at the two of them brightly, and when her eyes turned to Zhao Xin'er, she stuck out her tongue at her. said that he especially didn't like Zhao Xin'er.
"Wait~"
Shangguan still stopped, turned his gaze and swept his gaze at Xuanyuan Junhao, she didn't understand what this man was thinking, or what he wanted to do.
"Lord Xuan, but is there something?"
"I ......" Xuanyuan Junhao took two steps, but was stopped by Zhao Xinxiang next to him by grabbing his wrist, "Don't let people wait for a long time, prince." β
Zhao Xin'er's words happened to be listened to by Shangguan. Xuanyuan Junhao was full of complicated emotions, but he only said half of his words and did not follow. Seeing Zhao Xin'er's eyes full of hatred sweeping towards her, she paused for a moment and said with a smile on her face: "Farewell." β
"Still, in a few days, it will be the birthday of the imperial grandmother. If you take the time to go into the palace to visit her old man, she will surely be jubilant. Xuanyuan Junhao didn't know how to keep the woman he pushed away, and now he felt that it was a luxury to say two words to her.
Shangguan still glanced at him lightly, he didn't have the arrogance and pride he had when they met. The straight body, the eyes that carry the seem to see through everything, his clean and smooth face, and the vicissitudes of a mature man are undoubtedly revealed on his body.
