Chapter 18 Helpless
In the evening, Xiao Wanyao accompanied Xiao Shuxian to dinner, and saw that her uncle had also been busy for a day before coming back, so she returned to the house with licorice.
"Second Miss, the slave maid heard from other maids in the afternoon that the marriage between the eldest lady and Xue Gongzi has a word, and now Xue Xiang has left Xue Gongzi in the house for a few days, in order to let them be closer and closer!" Licorice said.
Hearing this, Xiao Wanyao's heart was still tight, Xue Tianao actually lived in her house, so wouldn't this be in danger?
Thinking of this, Xiao Wanyao knew that she must not let such a thing happen, she always felt that it was not safe for her to hide in the house during the day, with her understanding of Xiao Wan's flexible personality, it was rare for her to have such a proud marriage, she must bring Xue Tianao to show off in front of her.
Isn't this show-off going to meet Xue Tianao again?
Xiao Wanyao shook her head and said, "Since Ming'er, I have to go to the old mansion every day to accompany Shuxian and accompany him to read and write, my uncle has been too busy recently to take care of him." ”
Licorice looked at Xiao Wanyao with a sad look on her face, and said, "Second Miss, the slave will go and talk about it tomorrow, but to be honest, is Second Miss hiding from Xue Gongzi?" ”
Xiao Wanyao frowned: "It's impossible to talk about hiding, but it's better not to meet, it's only a few days since the days stopped?" I don't want to see Xiao Wanrou and her mother again. ”
Xiao Wanyao hurriedly went to the old house early the next morning, Xiao Ze hadn't gone out yet, and he felt strange to see Xiao Wanyao come so early, and couldn't help asking: "It's not a big deal, what are you doing so early?" ”
Xiao Wanyao said with a smile: "Naturally, I have to come over earlier, don't hide it from my uncle, Wanyao is here to take refuge, Xiao Wanrou may be proud for a while recently." ”
Xiao Ze also smiled when he heard this, and said: "I have also heard about Xue Xiangti's marriage, you are right to do this, and you have avoided a lot of right and wrong." It just so happened that he helped me watch Shuxian these days, and I was relieved. ”
After sending Xiao Ze away, Xiao Wanyao sat on a chair and read the medical books she brought for a while, and waited until Xiao Shuxian woke up before teaching him to read.
And Xiao Wanrou prepared a hearty breakfast in the morning, and personally went to the guest room to call Xue Tianao for breakfast.
"Xue Gongzi, I'm Wanrou, and I want to invite Gongzi to have breakfast together." Xiao Wanrou changed her arrogant and domineering temper in the past, and her voice sounded sweet and soft.
"I'm not hungry." Xue Tianao came out of the house and said expressionlessly.
Xiao Wanrou reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "The meal is ready, Xue Gongzi is not polite, go eat with me!" ”
Xue Tianao's expression could not hide his melancholy, and when he looked at Xiao Wanrou, his eyes did not show half a point of warmth, and finally nodded: "Then please lead the way!" ”
Xiao Wanrou felt a burst of joy in her heart, she had heard of this Xue Gongzi's "glorious deeds", and knew that he was a demon king of the mixed world, killing people was just for fun, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling were not lost to others......
At that time, she had some scruples about him, but when she saw Xue Tianao for the first time, she had to admit that she had fallen into Xue Tianao's cold eyes, no matter what he did, she already liked Xue Tianao.
Besides, now it seems that those rumors are all untrue, the Xue Tianao she saw was a gentle and quiet person, how could such an introverted person have those bad habits?
Maybe it's because someone is jealous of Xue Tianao and makes up rumors to slander him!?
"Xue Gongzi here, please, breakfast has already been prepared......" Xiao Wanrou said softly, and Xue Tianao didn't pay attention to her at all, walked straight to the chair and sat down, and then buried himself in eating.
Xiao Wanrou sat opposite him awkwardly, comforting herself in her heart.
It must be because of unfamiliarity...... It must be for this reason.
Here, Xiao Wanrou and Xue Tianao were silently having breakfast, and Xiao Wanyao had already met Xiao Shuxian over there.
"Shuxian, write a 'big' word for my sister." Xiao Wanyao watched Xiao Shuxian holding the pen and writing immature words on the paper, and felt a little comforted in her heart.
In her previous life, she didn't give birth to the little prince safely until she was in her thirties, and before she had time to experience the warmth of family affection, the child died early, and so many expectations in her heart were shattered.
Now looking at Xiao Shuxian, the regrets in my heart have gradually made up for it.
"Sister, look." Xiao Shuxian pointed to his crooked "big" character, and then he was not very satisfied, and wrote it again next to him.
"Write 'people' again." Xiao Wanyao nodded approvingly and said.
"Good!" Xiao Shuxian didn't feel bored either, and wrote seriously.
The next few words are all written correctly, except that they are not very pretty.
Xiao Wanyao hugged Xiao Shuxian in her arms and said: "I learned ten words in one morning, our family Shuxian is too smart!" ”
Xiao Shuxian smiled happily: "Doesn't that sister give Shuxian some rewards?" ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded: "Should I give some rewards, what does Shuxian want?" ”
Xiao Shuxian waved his white fat little hand and said, "I want a kite!" Sister, I want a kite! ”
Xiao Wanyao looked at him: "It's autumn now, what do you want to kite for?" The kite is flown at the beginning of spring!? ”
Xiao Shuxian pouted: "Of course I know, but my father didn't play with me in the spring, and now Shuxian has such a wish." ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded: "Then sister will make it for you now, make a swallow!" Speaking of this, Xiao Wanyao called licorice: "Go to the bamboo strips in the yard and come in, fold a swallow's kite bamboo bones, and I want to make a kite for Shuxian." ”
Licorice saw that the second lady was in good spirits, so she happily agreed, and trotted to the yard to get bamboo strips. And Xiao Wanyao took out rice paper to draw swallows, and asked Xiao Shuxian to draw swallows' eyes.
The kite was ready in a blink of an eye, Xiao Shuxian listened to Xiao Wanyao's words, and after eating lunch obediently, Xiao Wanyao gave him the kite.
Xiao Shuxian ran back and forth in the house with the kite, feeling dissatisfied, so he said pitifully: "Sister, this is not fun, Shuxian wants to go outside and let the kite fly high!" ”
Xiao Wanyao also wanted to go out with him, but thinking that she might meet Xue Tianao, she was unwilling to take this risk, so she said to Xiao Shuxian: "It's not impossible to go out to play, it's just that my sister is inconvenient to go out these days, let Licorice take you there, she will play with you, and my sister will accompany you in a few days." ”
Xiao Shuxian hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "There must be a reason why my sister doesn't want to go out, Shuxian is a good child, so let Sister Licorice go out with me!" ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded, and Licorice took the kite and took Xiao Shuxian out.
Xiao Wanrou was trying her best to please Xue Tianao for the whole morning, but Xue Tianao had a cold face and was silent, and as soon as noon passed, she said that it was too boring to stay in the house and wanted to go to the garden for a walk, but Xiao Wanrou tried her best to respond and said that she wanted to walk with him.
Xue Tianao frowned, but he didn't feel good about refusing, so he had to walk forward by himself, in his opinion, Xiao Wanrou was a piece of dog skin plaster, no matter how he shook it, he couldn't get rid of it.
The autumn weather is slightly hot, and the heat has receded a lot, Xue Tianao stood on the stone bridge and looked at the sky from afar, but his ears were always filled with Xiao Wan's soft and sweet voice.
Xue Tianao felt a little suffocated, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found that the new continent was generally walking on the other side, Xiao Wanrou didn't know why, but she also quickly followed Xue Tianao over.
When she looked up, there was just a kite in the sky, and it wasn't unusual!?
Xue Tianao walked in and found that it was a little boy flying a kite, so he stepped forward and said, "Can you let me see your kite?" ”
The little boy was confused, Xiao Wanrou had already arrived at this time, and only then did she realize that the boy in front of her was the son of her uncle.
She couldn't help but feel a little irritated in her heart, this child was really fateful, she didn't burn him to death the last time she asked someone to set fire, but it affected herself......
Xiao Wanrou lowered her head and quietly looked at her "healed" right hand, although the injury had healed, it had caused irreversible damage......
"Why don't you stay in the old mansion and run out?" Xiao Wanrou scolded Xiao Shuxian.
Xiao Shuxian was already afraid of her, and when she scolded her like this, he was even more frightened, and he almost cried.
At this time, Xue Tianao glanced at it indifferently: "No matter why, it's too much for you to say this about a child." ”
Xiao Wanrou forcibly suppressed her anger and stopped speaking for the sake of her image, but Xue Tianao still did not hide her interest in this kite, and said, "Let me see, is it okay?" ”
Xiao Shuxian saw Xue Tianao's "life-saving grace", obediently ripped off the kite and handed it over to Xue Tianao.
Xue Tianao held the kite and was delighted to see it, with a rare happy look in his eyes.
"Isn't it just a broken kite, why is Xue Gongzi interested in this?" Xiao Wanrou asked disdainfully.
"It's rare for me to see such a good painting with calligraphy and painting skills, you see how skillful this method is!" Xue Tianao said.
"It's ugly, this swallow's eyes are of different sizes!" Xiao Wanrou is still quite insistent on this.
"Uh...... Eldest sister...... The eyes were painted by me, and the other parts were painted by the second sister......" Although Xiao Shuxian was afraid of Xiao Wanrou, he couldn't help but stand up and say a fair word for Xiao Wanyao.
Xiao Wanrou was even more angry after hearing this, and couldn't help but snatch the kite and tear it in half.
"What are you doing here!?" Xue Tianao didn't react for a while.
And Xiao Shuxian cried aggrievedly, and there was chaos here for a while.
The cry attracted licorice, and Xue Tianao was stunned when he saw licorice.
Licorice hugged Xiao Shuxian to comfort him, and she was also stunned when she saw Xue Tianao.
Then I saw Xue Tianao raise the corners of his mouth and show a weird smile.
Only licorice knew the truth, and quickly ran to the old mansion with Xiao Shuxian in his arms, Xue Tianao naturally would not give up lightly, and caught up with licorice in three steps and two steps.
"You are on an errand in this mansion, then your young lady is ......" A strange look jumped in Xue Tianao's eyes, he couldn't think of it, he couldn't think of it at all......
I can see her again!! I1483
