The little girl is about four years old, round and cute, but her personality is timid, and she has been hiding behind the nurse and refusing to come forward, even if the nurse and Chun'er have been encouraging her to talk to her mother quickly, yes, the mother refers to her, and the little girl still doesn't move.

Zhang Ruoxi was very puzzled, what kind of family is this, the husband and wife are not harmonious, and even the mother and daughter seem very unfamiliar, is this the real situation of the big family in ancient times?

It is indeed possible, it is said that in ancient times, people had three wives and four concubines, and a group of children, and some ladies lived a pampered life all day long, and the children were left to the nurses and maids to take care of, so naturally they could not cultivate any deep family affection with their children.

But in her opinion, this is very abnormal.

In the modern world, which child does not stick to his parents, even she, a woman who can't jump out of half a child, is eager to be a mother to the point of being a little crazy, often seeing patients bring their children to see a doctor, she will play with the child first before starting to see a doctor.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruoxi wanted to be close to her "daughter", she got out of bed, only to find that the clothes she was wearing were almost mopping the floor, she didn't pay attention, stepped on the skirt, and almost fell forward.

In Chun'er's exclamation, she barely stood still, and then slowly walked to the little girl, bent over and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" Just now, she only heard the nurse and Chun'er call the little girl, and she didn't know the name of the little girl.

Hearing this, the nurse and Chun'er looked at each other in shock, but they didn't dare to ask more.

The young lady used to be very indifferent to people, so for her husband and daughter, and also for her subordinates, the only thing to be thankful for is that she will not abuse her subordinates like the second aunt.

Of course, they won't chew their tongues everywhere like other people in the big mansion, because everyone in this house knows that Huo Qiyou and Liu Qiaoruo are not in a good relationship, Liu Qiaoruo is cold to Huo Qiyou, and Huo Qiyou also turns one eye open and one eye off the bullying of his wife in the side room, so everyone thinks that Liu Qiaoruo will be snubbed if he is not pleased with the young master.

The young lady is not favored, and the status of these subordinates who serve the young lady is the lowest in the whole house, so the less others know about the young lady's affairs, the better, and they will not be stupid enough to ask for trouble.

However, there is one thing that is very strange, in the past, the young lady's attitude towards the little lady has always been very cold, but this time, the young lady smiled gently at the little lady.

Although the little girl has been rejecting people thousands of miles away, Zhang Ruoxi did not give up on narrowing the distance with the little girl, she thinks she is a very popular doctor with children, and there is no reason to be hated by the little girl.

"I have fruit on my table, do you want to eat it?"

Huo Xiangning glanced at the table in the room, and shook his head after a long time.

She wasn't much interested in the fruit, but her eyes were unconsciously on the plate of sweet pastries that looked delicious and attracted her.

Zhang Ruoxi studied psychology, she observed the little girl's eyes, and immediately guessed what the little girl was thinking, she straightened up, walked to the table, walked back to the little girl with the plate of sweet pastries, and then bent down and asked, "Do you want to eat pastries?" ”

Huo Xiangning blinked, but still didn't speak.

Zhang Ruoxi was not reluctant, she picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to the little girl. "Eat, just tell me your name when you want to tell me your name later."

Although Huo Xiangning is young, she can also see that the mother in front of her is different, she used to be afraid of her mother because her mother didn't smile at her, but now it's different, her mother actually smiled at her, and she smiled so gently.

The smile like a spring breeze disintegrated Huo Xiangning's fear, she stretched out her little hand, took the sweet pastry, and ate it happily.

Seeing the little girl so happy, Zhang Ruoxi's heart also warmed, at this moment, she suddenly felt that it was good to be alive, as long as she was alive, something good would definitely happen, at least at this moment, she was really grateful to God for giving her the opportunity to experience the feeling of being a mother.

Even if it's a dream, even if it's short-lived, she wants to seize this moment.

Keeping a distance doesn't mean you don't care, and not meeting doesn't mean ignoring her, since Liu Qiaoruo woke up, Huo Qiyou has paid more attention to her.

He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so in addition to ordering Chun'er to always pay attention to her emotional ups and downs and safety, he also asked Shi Ding to stare in the dark at any time and report to him.

But when he heard Shi Ding's return, he was stunned or stunned.

Shi Ding told him that Xinyuan laughed all day long, the young lady taught the little lady to learn to read and read, played with the little lady, the two also had a snowball fight, the young lady would sing to put the little lady to sleep, and the young lady's singing voice was very beautiful, and he had never even heard the songs he sang.

Are you dreaming?"

Seeing Shi Ding shaking his head, Huo Qiyou also knew that he was asking too quickly, but this situation was too unbelievable, those things that Shi Ding said, Liu Qiaoruo would never do it, her expression had always been as cold as ice, she had no emotion for her daughter except for indifference, to be more precise, everything in Huo Zhai did not enter her eyes and her heart.

In order to see Liu Qiaoruo's changes with his own eyes, Huo Qiyou got up and stepped out of the study.

Xinyuan is at the back of the east wing where he lives, and it needs to cross three corridors to reach it, and it is some distance from the east wing, just like the distance between him and Liu Qiaoruo, which is a little far away.

He took the trouble to go around one long corridor after another, and under the falling snowflakes, he passed a small pond and came to Xinyuan.

Before Huo Qiyou even walked in, he heard an unfamiliar laughter, as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell, which made him take a few more steps forward, and then a burst of singing floated into his ears, and his heart seemed to be hooked, throbbing.

As Shi Ding said, it was a piece of music that I had never heard before, but it was fresh and good, like a warm spring breeze, injecting a wave of warmth into the cold winter.

If the relationship between him and Liu Qiaoruo is not so stiff, if he can get along with her and his daughter so happily, what a beautiful and pleasant thing, unconsciously, he had a reverie, and wanted to walk in, but suddenly remembered that she had said that if he disturbed, he would repay him with death, and his steps were instantaneous.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to listen to the conversation inside through the wall—

"Mother, what's this thing called?"

"The noodle pincher."

"How do you play?"

"Just pinch whatever you want." In order to shorten the distance with Huo Xiangning, Zhang Ruoxi spent a lot of thought, in addition to teaching Huo Xiangning to read, she also came up with the things she played when she was a child, but she was afraid that it was too novel to arouse suspicion, so she deliberately found some games that have been circulated since ancient times, such as kicking shuttlecocks, or making bamboo dragonflies.

Just now she asked Chun'er to go to the kitchen to ask for some flour, and then use some edible flowers to make dyes, although there are not many colors, but you can still make several colors.

She is not good at kneading noodles, but when she plays with children, she doesn't need to be too serious, just pinch a leaf and petal, Huo Xiangning can watch it with relish, and she is also very interested in doing it herself.
