Chapter 54: Three Years

In the early autumn of the seventeenth year of Tianyu, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Kyoto was more prosperous than in the past.

In the courtyard in front of Xiao Jingkang's study, the ginkgo tree is handsome and straight, and the purple nan is elegant and fragrant...... Under the steps, the pots of purple and red famous products bloom enchantingly.

A little girl about five or six years old in a bright yellow gauze skirt tastes and selects in front of the rows of flower pots, which one is better?

Xiaofu and Xiaohui accompanied the left and right, they never opened their mouths to persuade before the young lady started, the master and servant have been together for four years, and they are already very familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding.

"Miss...... You...... Not again. The florist, who was in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants, stammered and said hello, and the most troublesome of all the masters in the family were the old general and the eldest lady. The former one is moody and casual, you don't know when he will explode, and the momentum of his body makes people dare not approach; The latter is the darling of the whole family, she can do what others can't do, and she can move what others dare not touch. Fortunately, these two never make it difficult for them, but every now and then there is a problem that makes people unbearable!

Didn't you just want a pot of green peonies two days ago? I didn't succeed again, no, I didn't get it, thinking about the pain on my father's face at that time, Xiao Yao had been secretly happy more than once.

"If you don't give me a pot of green peonies, then you can always pick one."

That's the best, Miss Best, do you understand, Uncle just finished paying tribute to the pot of dead orchids the day before yesterday, and you come again.

"Miss, don't pick it off, it's a pity." Xiaohui explained. If Miss picks the flowers now, Uncle probably won't be able to sleep again tonight.

Xiao Yao reached out and tugged at her bag, which has become her habitual action now, whenever she hesitates or thinks about a problem, she will do such an action. It is also strange to say, Xiao Yao thinks that he is not a stupid person, he can write and memorize as soon as he learns, but he has no talent in raising flowers, and he almost raises a pot and dies.

For this reason, Xiao Jingkang sighed more than once, why didn't his daughter inherit her own advantages! Imagine a little beauty taking care of a superb, how beautiful that picture should be, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see it!

"Ping'an, I'm here to destroy your father's flowers and plants again, which pot do you like this time, and the fourth uncle will help you send it back." It was Xiao Jingyan, who was still suave and handsome, and was twenty-four years old, but still a bachelor.

The gardener almost didn't sit on the ground, it seemed that the two masters were not ready to leave a way for themselves to live, so he chose to turn around and leave silently, out of sight, since he couldn't stop it, then let it be fate.

Seeing the gardener walking away with a resigned face, Xiao Yao wanted to stop him, it's a big deal that he doesn't want to spend it, as for being sad like this?

"Look at you scared people away!" Xiao Jingyan gloated.

"Fourth uncle, you said the opposite." It's obvious that your words scared people away, so why do you rely on me.

"Grandmother, her old man is still talking to you in the morning, or I will accompany you to greet grandmother."

"I'm not going to go today, I'll come back and get some things and leave, don't tell your grandmother that you saw me, did you hear me?" Xiao Jingyan looked around as he spoke, lest he be seen by a third person.

"Why?" Xiao Yao blinked her big eyes, put on an expression of serious explanation, and at the same time smiled secretly in her heart, the person that the fourth uncle is most afraid of seeing now is his grandmother, and he has a deep understanding of the taste of being urged to marry in his previous life, so he is extremely sympathetic to the fourth uncle who has a similar experience, and will always try his best to help cover up, but this does not prevent him from occasionally using this matter to hit the fourth uncle, who let him always bully people!

"Peace, you're getting worse and worse." Xiao Jingyan took advantage of the little niece's inattention, raised his hand and rubbed her hair vigorously, admired the little niece's new hairstyle, and turned his head away while laughing.

"We still have to go to see Mrs., how can you do this, find a place to freshen up, otherwise there will be no hurry." Xiaofu picked up the young lady and left.

"Here it is." Xiao Yao grabbed the frizzy Xiaofu and sat in the small pavilion on the side of the road, and Xiaohui took out a small comb from the purse she was wearing, and carefully and gently arranged her hair.

"Ping'an, it's so that you're here, it's easy for me to find it, but the second aunt came to report to you, have you made your mother angry recently, she has been talking to you in front of me several times this morning, you can think of a way to deal with it."

Li Jiaoying is as bright as ever, and her face is getting better and better, since she has been stained with her little niece's light and washed her face with fresh milk, and occasionally takes a bath, her skin is much smoother, and the two have developed many beauty items together, such as using honey and egg whites to compress her face, such as adding some medicinal herbs that are beneficial to skin maintenance when taking a bath...... So the relationship between them is getting closer and closer.

Xiao Yao thought about it seriously and carefully, she hadn't done anything unexpected recently, right? Maybe she forgot what she had done, she looked at Xiaohui in confusion, this girl may remember it carefully.

"Endorsement, "The Female Commandment." Xiaohui reminded in a low voice.

"Oh no, today is the day when the young lady goes to the wife's room to endorse the book, you haven't gone yet, it's over, it's over." Xiaofu rubbed her hands and shouted, regretting how she had forgotten such an important matter.

was reminded by two maids with very different personalities, Xiao Yao finally remembered that she still had a task to complete today. But what does this "over, over" mean, do you wish yourself to die before you get out of school? A frizzy girl, she doesn't curse her master like this.

"Endorsement, are you ready for peace? Do you want the second aunt to help? ”

Li Jiaoying squeezed her eyes at her little niece, with an expression that you understand, her so-called help is to mention the prompter, or let the maid cover up or something.

Xiao Yao still has this bit of confidence, but she wasted the method that the second aunt racked her brains to think of, and she felt quite sorry.

"Do you want the second aunt to accompany you?"

After recalling it for a while, Xiao Yao sorted out the content that should be recited, and said to the second aunt with confidence: "Second aunt, don't worry, I remember." ”

"Peace is so smart."

The two walked along the road to the backyard, chatting as they walked. The second uncle and the second aunt are now living happily, the eldest son has already had an errand and has become a guard guarding the palace gate, and the younger son has also begun to enlighten. If there is anything to worry about, it is only the son's marriage that worries the couple, and the problem is not the son himself, but because the little uncle who stands in front of him and refuses to marry is too worrying.

The elders are not married, and the younger generations can only wait, no matter how anxious Li Jiaoying is, she doesn't dare to show anything on her face.

How to comfort the second aunt? I can't tell who is right and who is wrong in this matter, I can't let the fourth uncle marry someone casually, and I am worried that the eldest brother and the second brother will be delayed in marriage, after all, the two elder brothers are already sixteen years old, and in some families, boys of the same age as them have already married wives and had children. Don't say that the second aunt is in a hurry, it is estimated that the mother sighed behind her back.

"In a few days, the second aunt will take you to the banquet, okay?"

Ping An doesn't go out often, except for a few close relatives who have banquets, under normal circumstances, she stays at home. Part of the reason is that noisy places with a lot of people and smells make her feel uncomfortable, and the other reason is probably because of her personality, she doesn't like noisy occasions in her heart.

When I was young, it was just that, and when I grew up, it was absolutely impossible to marry someone and run a family without interacting with others, so Tong Mingyu and Li Jiaoying discussed it, and in the future, whenever I participated in wedding banquets and birthday banquets, I must bring Xiao Yao.

If you don't go, Xiao Yao looked at the second aunt pleadingly.

"No, the ladies of the family are going to go, and when the time comes, let your cousin Yan accompany you, don't be afraid of anything, you know?"

Cousin Yan, who is the maiden niece of the second aunt, is also the daughter-in-law of the eldest brother, and is a good story of a pair of cousins and cousins! In ancient times, this combination was really common, but fortunately, my cousins were much older than myself, so I didn't have to worry about this, as for my shy cousin, it seemed that my mother didn't think it was appropriate, and my father didn't have such thoughts at all, so I didn't have to worry about this.
