Chapter 117: The Villa (3)
No one expected that it would rain that night, and it would be three whole days at once.
General Xiao didn't know what other people's mood was, but he was very happy anyway. You don't have to teach those bastards to practice martial arts, you can stay and chat and play with your old wife and granddaughter, he hopes that this rain will be better for a few more days!
Qin's family, Yu's mother and two maids sat around playing cards together, Xiao Yuan was an idle character, she ran to the door for a while, lifted the curtain and probed her brain outside, and ran to General Xiao's side to comb his old man's beard.
"Where did your sister and Mama Ruan go again?" General Xiao asked dissatisfiedly, he finally had free time, his granddaughter was busy again, and she spent more time with that Ruan Mama in a day than with her grandfather.
"General, this is the winter melon and duck soup that the eldest lady asked the slave to send, saying that it is the most suitable time to drink at this time, which can dispel heat and heat, strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness." Xiaofu put down the soup bowl, and Xiaohui, who followed closely behind, carefully brought a cup to each of the masters.
"Is this what your eldest lady did?" General Xiao asked.
"The materials are all selected by the eldest lady herself, the ducks are handled by the cooks, the stewed soup is our young lady's own hands, and the slaves are just beating the hands." Xiao Fu hurriedly replied.
"What's the use of you people, how can I let my granddaughter do such a thing!" General Xiao said complaining words in his mouth, but the proud and smug look on his face became more and more unable to hide it.
I thought I was abandoned by my granddaughter just now! It turned out that she ran to stew soup, what a caring child. Winter melon and duck soup is suitable for this season and this kind of weather, and I must not disappoint my granddaughter's heart, no matter what the taste is, I have to drink it up.
After two sips, General Xiao was in a more beautiful mood, don't look at his granddaughter's young age, the level of this cooking skill is really good, so General Xiao drank three cups of soup in a row.
"You can't finish drinking even the best things!" The Qin clan, who couldn't stand it, said something to stop.
"This is not just a bowl of soup, but it contains a piece of filial piety for my granddaughter."
"Knowing that your granddaughter is filial, you don't need to send someone to the gate of the villa to preach and publicize it." Qin thought to himself, the family said every day that they were partial to their youngest son, and asked her to say that the most eccentric person was obviously the master, but no one dared to say it.
"You see that my granddaughter is sensible, jealous, and envious to say that, right?"
"Yes, the concubine is very jealous and envious."
The conversation between the two drew a burst of laughter, and the general and his wife were sometimes really like two vindictive children.
"Where have you gone now?"
"I went to develop the fragrance, and the eldest lady said that she knew that the old lady liked the light fragrance of lotus flowers, and wanted to see if she could make that fragrance, if nothing else, there would be results today. The eldest lady also said that she will accompany you and the second lady tomorrow to have a day of fun. ”
Now the old couple can't say anything critical.
The next day, the rain finally stopped, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and by the afternoon, the sun had been revealed for a long time.
The air after the rain has an exceptionally fresh smell, and the smell of flowers, herbs and grass is mixed together to make people feel refreshed and refreshed.
Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan both came to the yard, and when they saw their sister as cheerful as a bird out of the cage, Xiao Yao also played happily and happily.
"Grandfather, are you going out?" Xiao Yao saw that his grandfather had changed into clothes to go out and walked out, and asked.
"Tomorrow the Nine Emperor Princes and the Cloud Boy are going back to Kyoto, so Grandfather is going to go over and have a look now." The arranged martial arts training plan was delayed by a heavy rain, the Nine Emperor Princes couldn't stay outside for too long, and Yun Yichen was worried about Princess Jing and the county lord, so they decided to return to Kyoto tomorrow after discussion, and as for the missing lessons, they would only have to wait for General Xiao to return and make up for it.
"After they leave, can you take me and Ruyi to the outside of the Royal Annex, I want to see what the Daddy built the Villa looks like."
"Yes, grandfather promises you." When the time comes, you can be accommodating with the people who guard the royal palace, and maybe you can go around the garden, General Xiao secretly thought.
After hearing the news that several nobles were leaving, the Qin family sighed, it was a pity that such a chance to get the moon first near the water, it seems that his granddaughter and these royal relatives really have no fate.
If she knew that her husband and son had openly refused the request of the Nine Emperor Princes and his party to come to visit, she didn't know how depressed she would be!
"You can go out of Zhuangzi tomorrow, right?" Xiao Yuan was anxious to confirm the reliability of this news.
"Tomorrow afternoon! You should be able to go out. Xiao Yao also wanted to go out for a walk.
Getting the exact answer, Xiao Yuan looked forward to getting dark early, eating dinner and going to bed quickly, and recuperating his spirit before he could swim in the lake tomorrow.
When the sun rose again, Xiao Yuan was already a little impatient, and after a morning of restlessness, the sisters hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food, changed into the clothes they wore for the first time, and walked out hand in hand, it can be seen that Xiao Yuan really can't wait for a moment.
Looking at the granddaughters who walked out side by side, the Qin family secretly regretted to themselves, how good it would have been if you had been so active earlier, now that the nobles have left, no matter how good you look at dressing up, what's the use of going out for a long time.
Outside Zhuangzi, the road is still a little muddy, and after a short walk, you will come to the edge of the woods, and you should be able to see the lake through this forest.
A group of people were arguing and shouting in front, Xiao Yao thought that the people from the royal palace opposite had not left, so she turned her head and planned to go back, Xiao Yuan finally got the opportunity to go out, and she absolutely refused to go back.
"Steward Zhao, the group of people in front ......" Seeing the oncoming Zhao Mian, Xiao Yao stopped.
"The villain has seen the eldest lady and the second lady, in front of us is the car on our Zhuangzi has fallen into the mud, and the villain is about to go to the Zhuangzi and is calling a few people to come over and help push the cart."
"What's in the car?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Because we were going to Kyoto to buy some things, the old lady asked me to send some fruits and vegetables to the house, but I didn't expect that the wheels would get stuck as soon as we walked out of the house."
It must be that Steward Zhao wanted to buy wedding supplies, and after his grandmother found out, he asked them to bring some fresh vegetables and fruits back to Xiao's house, thinking of this, Xiao Yao smiled and asked, "How many people are there next to the car?" ”
"Plus I have four people,"
"You don't have to go back, let's go to the front and have a look." Xiao Yao said to Zhao Mian.
Zhao Mian hesitated for a moment, and finally obeyed Xiao Yao's order, he really wanted to know how the eldest lady could solve the things that several big men couldn't do.
When they reached the side of the carriage, the few big men gathered there stopped all movements, they didn't understand how Steward Zhao, who had gone to find someone to help, came back with the two children.
Xiao Yao walked around the carriage, the wheel on the left was relatively deep, before they came, some people had already tried with stones, wooden sticks and other methods, and some people wanted to remove a wheel, or change a car.
"Have you tried to push this car?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Back to Miss, it's useless to push a few times." Someone answered.
"Now I have a way to think of how you can try it."
"Miss, please speak."
"That's right, you come to push the cart, I shout slogans, and when I shout one, two, three pushes, you can work hard together."
This is a novel method, it doesn't work, since the eldest lady has spoken, let's try it!
Several big men stood up, Xiao Yao put his hands in a trumpet shape to his mouth and said, "Are you ready?" ”
"Alright, alright." A few people agreed with a playful mind, if this method doesn't work, it's a big deal to change cars!
"I'm going to shout, prepare one, two, three, push, one
2. 3 push ......"
Xiao Yuan watched it for a while, and also learned from his sister's appearance, and the two of them shouted slogans together.
"Whose child is this? It's so much fun! "At a distance of a dozen trees, the three teenagers on horses looked lively, they were the Nine Emperor Princes who were supposed to return to Kyoto in the morning.
It is also the bad luck of a few people, and it rained heavily just two days after arriving at the Imperial Garden, so I want to go back to Kyoto! Yun Can of the Wang family of Qi County was sick, and he had a fever all night, and now he finally walked out of the other garden, and was stopped by the carriage of the Xiao family.
"They are ......" Yun Yifan looked ahead, he could already guess the identities of the two girls.
"It's out, the carriage is out, the two young ladies are so smart." After the carriage was pushed out, several big men didn't care about the muddy water all over their bodies, and first praised the clever little master, and a large group of men racked their brains to come up with a solution that didn't work as well as the simple ideas of the two children. It can be seen that in many cases, in many occasions, the simpler the method, the more effective it is, and the more you think about it, the easier it is to get people into it.
"Let's all go change your clothes." Xiao Yao turned sideways to get out of the way.
"Sister, this game is so fun, and the carriage that hasn't got stuck in the mud, I want to give it a try." Before Xiao Yuan had any fun, the carriage was pushed out, and she looked unfinished at the moment, pulling Xiao Yao to discuss.
"Poof, little girl, how about pushing that carriage into the mud puddle again." Mu Fengwu rode over and laughed.
Xiao Yuan fixed his eyes and immediately recognized Mu Fengwu who was riding on a horse, what was this villain doing in front of the house.
"Get out of here, don't come to my door." Xiao Yuan said to Mu Fengwu menacingly, and the kitten fluttered with her movements, making people feel that the little girl in front of her was not angry, but cute and cute.
Xiao Yao naturally saw three people, her gaze inadvertently collided with Yun Yichen, one hurriedly dodged, and the other looked unkindly.
Yun Yichen was originally reluctant to come to the Royal Palace, but now the way back is blocked, how can there be any reason not to be angry, he has always been expressionless, and now with his cold eyes, people with eyes can see that he is very unhappy.
After hiding for several days, he could finally meet him, Xiao Yao felt that he and this prince were really enemies!
