Chapter 236: I want to be a carefree girl in the boudoir
I thought that when I returned home, I could live my own small life every day.
Unexpectedly, there was the 'attention' of the Queen Mother Rouran on the outside, and the chatter of her mother inside, so that Xiao Mingyue was hiding in Tibet for half the day.
He escaped the messenger who came to the door to deliver gifts, but it was difficult to escape his mother's worries about his life's events.
Xiao Mingyue sat on the swing under the grape trellis, dragging the grapevines in her hands, and sighed with emotion: "I just stayed at home for a few more days, my mother is so nagging, and outsiders are so attentive, I think if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't even be able to live at home!"
Amber quietly came over with the chestnut cake and said to Xiao Mingyue: "Miss, the kitchen just made it, eat it while it's hot!"
Xiao Mingyue hurriedly looked around and asked Amber, "When you came, were you seen?" In a few moments, Mother will call for someone to come here again!"
Amber smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss! The slave and maid came over secretly, and this chestnut cake was also taken by Caiyue in the kitchen, and no one has seen it!"
Xiao Mingyue sighed lightly, swinged on the swing and said, "It's so good, I don't want to be disturbed by others!"
After speaking, he grabbed the chestnut cake in the amber plate and said in admiration: "This pastry tastes good, give me another piece!"
Amber smiled and handed Xiao Mingyue another piece, and said, "Miss eat more, I haven't eaten anything at the banquet in the past two days!"
Xiao Mingyue swallowed the pastry in her mouth, and then complained busily: "It's all mothers, every time I am still eating, I mention some marriage matters at the dinner table!" It's callousing!"
Amber listened to it, nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly said, "But Madame is doing this, after all, for the sake of Miss!"
"Hey! But it's terrible for my mother to do this! I'm afraid I'll go crazy sooner or later if I continue to live like this at home!" Xiao Mingyue said with a grumble.
"So, what can we do?" Amber asked.
Xiao Mingyue thought for a moment, looked at Amber and said, "We have to distract our mother's attention and tell her not to focus on me all day long!"
Amber asked, "Huh? So what are we going to do?!"
"What does my mother care about besides me?!" Xiao Mingyue asked.
"Madame cares about Miss in addition to being a general! Miss! You don't want to take a concubine for the general, do you?! Amber said nervously.
"Phew! What nonsense are you talking about! How could I do something like that! Aside from my father, my mother cares most about her precious grandson!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Oh! The slave gets it! So Miss wants to take the little masters over?!" Amber asked.
"Count you smart this time!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Then, which little young master does the young master want to take over?!Is it the eldest young master's son or the second young master's son?!" Amber asked.
Xiao Mingyue shook her head and said, "No, those two little ghosts are all clever!" has always only pretended to be well-behaved and sensible in front of his father and mother, begging for pocket money and fruits to eat. If I really take them over, I'm afraid I will bring a helper to my mother! So they are not suitable, the most suitable one is the third brother's family!"
"Huh? Miss, the third young master's son has just turned one year old! Crying all day long, very noisy. This...... I'm afraid it's not quite appropriate, right?!" Amber said with a frown.
"What's wrong with that! The third brother's little doll is the most suitable, and when I think of taking him to the house, ask my mother to take it, so that her old man will not have time to talk about me, how about it?!" Xiao Mingyue said with a smile looking at Amber.
Amber clapped her hands and praised it as a clever plan.
"Miss, when are we going to pick up the little master?" Amber asked.
"Without further ado, let's go back and get ready, and we'll go in a moment!" Xiao Mingyue said.
Then, Xiao Mingyue went back to the room and dressed up a little, changed into a white and blue brocade skirt, combed her hair in a flying bun, and had a faint coupling color rouge.
Xiao Mingyue said to Amber: "In this way, the little nephew will look at me amiably when he sees me, and I won't cry or make trouble when I bring him back!"
Later, he and Amber went to the street to buy some fine rouge gouache and folding fans to bring to his sister-in-law.
When they arrived at the third brother's house, the gatekeeper saw Xiao Mingyue and Amber, and hurriedly invited the two of them in, and repeatedly asked people to hurry in and spread the word.
It was Xiao Beize's wife, Zhong, who came out to greet the two, and when she saw Xiao Mingyue's sister-in-law coming, she was very enthusiastic, and asked someone to prepare refreshments and lunch on the other.
The Zhong family was only three or four years older than Xiao Mingyue, and the two got along very closely. It's just that Pei Shi thinks that Zhong is younger in the end, and he is not as thorough as the other two daughters-in-law in terms of etiquette.
However, Xiao Mingyue felt that her sister-in-law was also very gentle and submissive, approachable, but she was gentle and shy, and no sister-in-law and second sister-in-law would make people happy.
Zhong smiled and took Xiao Mingyue's hand and said, "The fourth sister is here!" Long time no see, I'm missing you! It's just that Xiaobao has been frightened and has a rash recently, so I didn't go to see you!"
Then the nurse on the side came over with Xiaobao in her arms and said, "My brother is hot again, and this rash is not good!"
Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to hug the child, coaxed it in his arms, and said distressedly: "Let's go and ask the doctor to come over again!" This child is really unlucky, how can he be born with many illnesses and disasters!"
Xiao Mingyue also stepped forward to look at her little nephew, with a tiger's head and a pair of big round eyes, and then took out a small golden lock from her arms, put it on Xiaobao, and said: "This is for my little nephew, look at his tiger head, how cute!" How can you be an unblessed person! If you want me to see, you will definitely be rich and talented in the future! It's like the third brother!"
Zhong Shi looked at it and said with a smile: "I want to thank you for Xiaobao, with your blessing today, Xiaobao will definitely have no three disasters and eight tribulations in the future, and he will be a long-lived and hundred-year-old person!"
Xiao Mingyue teased Xiaobao with a smile and said: "Sister-in-law is serious, children are like this when they are young, they are easy to be frightened and easy to get sick, and the third brother and I were like this when we were young!" Sister-in-law, don't worry too much!"
"It's best if that's the case, the day before yesterday I took Xiaobao back to my parents' house, and when I came back, it was late, and Xiaobao was scared!" Zhong said.
"In that case, maybe it's something that has collided, but we have to find out the cause and burn something!" Xiao Mingyue said to Zhong.
"So what should I do? It is said that children have not closed their eyes, and it is easy to bump into bad things, but now Xiaobao is like this, I am afraid that he is really scared!" Zhong said.
Xiao Mingyue saw that her sister-in-law was so worried, and she recognized that she was frightened by some god and demon, so she took the opportunity to say: "Is there a "Jade Gate Record" at home, you have to check it carefully!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll tell someone to get it!" After Zhong finished speaking, he ordered the little girl to go to the wing room to pick up the book.
The little girl took the book, Xiao Mingyue looked at it, and said: "On the 21st day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, I met the night wandering god in the northeast, and I had to burn incense and worship in the northeast!"
When Zhong heard this, he hurriedly asked the little girl to do the same, and then asked, "So Xiaobao will be fine, right?" He's got a good rash, right? "
Xiao Mingyue said deliberately: "I want to come here because of the wandering spirit that night, why don't I take Xiaobao back and live by my father's side for a few days, my father is a general!" The gods also had to be a little jealous of him, and maybe Xiaobao would get better when he got there. I'll send him back then!"
When Zhong heard this, he still said with some worry: "However, Xiaobao is used to sleeping with me at night, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate for him to leave me!"
When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she hurriedly asked Amber to take Xiaobao, and whispered to Zhong: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, sister-in-law guards Xiaobao every day, I'm afraid I will also snub my brother." I'll take Xiaobao away for a few days, and my sister-in-law and my brother can relive the newlywed Yan'er!"
When Zhong heard this, he blushed and said angrily: "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Mingyue smiled and said, "In this way, even if my sister-in-law agrees, I will take Xiaobao away!" When my brother comes back, my sister-in-law will tell him that I took Xiaobao away, so he can rest assured!"
So, Xiao Mingyue and Amber hurriedly took Xiaobao back to the General's Mansion.
On the carriage, Amber hugged the child and said with a smile: "Miss really has a way, in a few words, she will bring our little treasure back!"
"That's natural, when I go back, my mother will revolve around him, and what about me! And then you will be free!" Xiao Mingyue looked at Xiaobao with a smile and said.
And since Xiaobao was hugged out by Xiao Mingyue, he no longer cried, just looked at Xiao Mingyue and laughed.
Xiao Mingyue gently pinched Xiaobao's bulging little face and said, "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, you are really my good nephew!"
