Chapter 146: Gift-giving
Regardless of his younger brother's repeated retention, Xiao Jingkang decided to take his daughter home after staying for one night, Mu Fengwu asked very eagerly to go along, and the seventh young master had nothing to do. Xiao Yuan firmly said that he wanted to be with his sister, and no one could separate them, and Yuan Yutong did not show the slightest reluctance, but Xiao Jingmin nagged and told him endlessly.
After learning the true intention of the eldest brother, Xiao Jingmin expressed his sincerest apologies for only caring about his own happiness and completely ignoring the feelings of everyone in Kyoto, and in order to make the eldest brother believe that his apology was the most sincere, Xiao Jingmin took great pains to prepare a spacious and luxurious carriage for his niece and daughter.
"Ruyi, when will you come back to visit Daddy!"
Do the men of the Xiao family have a resentful complex? The corners of Mu Fengwu's mouth twitched and he thought.
"I'm going to study, I'm busy learning etiquette, but you can go see me!" Xiao Yuan answered Xiao Jingmin's question with a bright smile.
"Daddy still has to do things, even if you can't come back every month, it's always okay to come back every three months and stay for a few days!" If you have no conscience, are you busier than your father?
"Hmm......" Xiao Yuan gave Xiao Yao a look when he scratched his head, and quickly helped.
Xiao Yao didn't go to see her sister at first, in fact, the third uncle's request was not too much at all, and her sister didn't like to go back to live with her father and mother for some reason.
"You save it, even if this little conscienceless person comes back, his heart will stay in Kyoto, I haven't seen such an infatuated father like you again, it's unbearable." In the last sentence, Yuan Yutong deliberately lowered his voice and said, who this "you" contains, everyone understands very well.
"Ahem." was named by his younger brother and daughter-in-law, Xiao Jingkang felt very faceless, it was because the third brother was not angry, so he would be affected, and he had to leave here quickly, otherwise, the third brother would keep nagging.
He didn't want to think about how much better he was than his brother! The same daughter controls, the same love daughter is obsessed.
They set out in the morning and arrived at the gate of the city in the afternoon.
"Sister, is my sister back?" Xiao Jun opened his throat and asked loudly.
"You should have seen my father first, and then ask my sister!" Xiao Jingkang jumped out of the carriage and took the reins from the entourage's hand, and his daughter got tired of all the way, and now he will temporarily give up his position to his youngest son, how much Ah Jun wants to be safe and the family is obvious to all, and he has seen him secretly wipe his tears!
"Fifth brother, it was me and Ruyi who came back." Xiao Yao stood at the wheel of the car and waited for someone to pick him up and get out of the car.
"It's already a big girl, take your own time." Xiao Yi held one of his sister's arms and let her get out of the car conveniently, Xiao Yi is now the time when the spring breeze is proud, Chun Yi has entered the second class, and now he is a jinshi, and under the operation of his father and uncle, he has entered the military department, although the position is not high, but fortunately, his love and familiarity with weapons is not less than that of those elders, so he was assigned to the arsenal clearance department, where he is in charge of weapons and soldiers.
"You're finally back, and I'll follow you next time you go out." Xiao Jun can't care how old his sister is, whether he has reached the age of male and female nuisance, in his heart, Xiao Yao is just his little sister. The Mu brothers were stunned, and their own brothers "expected this" in their eyes and gave Xiao Yao a big hug.
"Fifth brother, hurry up and let go of your hand, I'm going to be out of breath." You attempted murder when you were a child, is this going to continue today?
"Stinky boy, let go." Xiao Jingkang was shocked when he heard his daughter's words, Ping'an's small body is no better than that of his thick-skinned sons, not to mention that she is already weak.
"Jun, let go." Xiao Yi's words fell, and he tore his younger brother away, Ping'an's injury is not completely healed, don't be injured twice by this brother who doesn't know the severity.
"How do I feel that only the girls in the Xiao family are biological, and the boys are not taken seriously!" Is this a delusion? Mu Fengwu was anxious to get confirmation from his younger brother.
"I've only figured out one thing along the way, that is, it's best not to mess with the girls of the Xiao family, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." Mu Fengyang has never seen a big family that spoils girls like the Xiao family, other people's families value boys, but the Xiao family is the opposite.
"Shouldn't we take our leave?" Mu Fengyang didn't plan to continue watching, these people were talking about parting as if no one was around, and they couldn't see anyone else in their eyes anymore.
"The little junior sister hasn't gotten in the car yet, how can I be embarrassed to leave first as a senior brother!"
You haven't seen enough of the excitement and are reluctant to leave! Mu Fengyang immediately stepped forward to say goodbye to Xiao Jingkang, Xiao Jingkang had long hoped that the two of them would leave, so after Mu Fengyang explained his intentions, Xiao Jingkang's face was calm, and his heart was actually happy.
"Let's go home too, my mother and second aunt are still waiting for you at home!" Xiao Yi reminded everyone in one sentence.
"I'm going to ride with my sister." Xiao Jun didn't wait for others to agree, and climbed into the carriage in two clicks.
"Let's go." Xiao Yi also likes his sister, although Xiao Yang, who didn't come today, is not good at expressing his feelings, but his love for his sister is no less than others, but among the three brothers, only Ah Jun is the most sticky and peaceful, it seems that the relationship between the twins is really deeper than that of ordinary brothers and sisters.
When they returned home, the sisters changed their clothes and then went to Ninghe Hall to meet their grandmother and other elders.
"Let Grandmother see if Ping'an's new teeth have grown." Thinking of his grandson's words, Qin said with a smile.
The second brother really betrayed himself, and Xiao Yao pouted in the direction of Xiao Yi to express his dissatisfaction.
"Back to my grandmother's words have grown." Xiao Yao opened her pink lips so that her grandmother could observe that Xiao Yao's front teeth had been replaced and were growing well.
"Good." The newly grown teeth were white and straight, and the hearts of the Qin family and Tong Mingyu who had been burdened for many months could finally let go, and they also knew that they were wasting their minds in vain, and there was no need for others to worry about these things at all.
"You two are here, we haven't had a good year, and there are only a few stinky boys left without you, it's really boring." Li Jiaoying told the little sisters her heartfelt feelings.
All the boys on board can do is listen quietly, or what else can they do!
"Second aunt, didn't you say that before Ping An and Ruyi came back, you said that we are the hope of the Xiao family, we must study hard, learn skills, and contribute to the family in the future." The style of painting changes so quickly, have you ever considered the feelings of those of us who have been discarded? Xiao Rui protested.
"Did I say anything like that? It must be Ah Rui, you heard it wrong, who is the most valued person in the Xiao family, and even the aunt in charge of buying vegetables at home knows. Li Jiaoying has a new love, where do you care what her nephews think.
"Did I pick it up?" Xiao Qi asked slowly, all the boys in the family had thought about this question, and Xiao Rui had asked it more than once.
"Let my mother have a good memory, it seems that in addition to peace and accidents, all six of you were picked up at the city gate." Li Jiaoying didn't want to comfort her son at all, she left all the tenderness and sweetness to the two girls, as for her son and nephew, weren't they born to experience falling and beating?
"My little liver has been damaged, come and have a ginseng and deer antler supplement, otherwise I won't be able to go to the academy tomorrow." Xiao Rui asked with his hand on his chest.
"There is no ginseng and deer antler, but there is a whip dipped in cold water, do you want it?" Xiao Jingkang saw that his nephew was playing treasure again, shook his head and asked, this Ah Rui is already twelve years old, this is not a decent look, and he is more and more like his fourth uncle.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, Ah Jun and Ah Qi, let's run away from home, I guess even if we get lost, no one in the family will look for it except for my grandmother." With such treatment, Xiao Rui couldn't even lose his temper.
"Don't say that we don't show affection, whoever wants to leave can take their belongings with them, and the family will give an extra ten taels of silver, and the rest of the treatment will be gone." Xiao Jingkang spoke again.
"Ten taels of silver, it's not enough to go to Wangxian Ju for a meal, you send it to ask for food!" Xiao Rui said very dissatisfied.
"You're right, anyway, you have to become a beggar in the end, and the ten taels of silver will be free!"
"Ahh Xiao Rui exclaimed loudly, this ...... That's too much, isn't it?
There was a burst of laughter in Ninghetang, and the maids and ladies were also in a good mood, they all clearly felt that the young ladies were not at home, and the master's mood had never been so good, and now that the young ladies were back, the atmosphere at home immediately became different.
After a good night's sleep, Mama Ruan told the sisters that they could take a day off today and start classes tomorrow.
Xiao Yao hurriedly sorted out the gifts she brought back, and asked the maids to send them to each family, when she thought of Yun Ruonan, she was a little entangled, and she didn't know whether to give a gift, so she was ready to consult her mother.
"The princess has given you and Ruyi gifts more than once, you can choose some small things with southern characteristics and give them to the county lord, no matter what, this is a part of your sister's heart, I believe the princess will understand." After thinking about it carefully, Tong Mingyu replied to her daughter, things are not expensive or cheap, but the mind is the most important, and she hopes that her daughter can understand some truths from human relations.
What should I choose as a gift for the lord of the county? Ruan Mama and her mother have already put on an attitude of watching and never interfering, Ruyi is a hopeless one, Xiao Yao can only think about it by herself, and finally she chose a set of Suzhou flower fans, some gadgets made of shells, and a picture album about the customs and customs of Suzhou that she painted herself to prepare to give to Yun Ruonan, and the princess will send a Suzhou embroidered table screen.
Tong Mingyu and Mama Ruan nodded in agreement with Xiao Yao's eyes, and then went their separate ways.
"These two little girls are finally willing to come back." Yin Qianhua looked at the table screen and asked Qiaoyue, who was in charge of giving gifts.
"Our young lady just arrived home yesterday, and today she ordered the slave maid to send some gadgets to the county lord, and the eldest lady said that if she could make the county lord smile, her gifts would not be in vain." Qiao Yue said with a smile on her face.
"I like it very much, thank you for your young lady." Yun Ruonan looked at this, touched that and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
Yun Yichen looked left and right and didn't find anything close to him, although it was normal to not have a gift for himself, but why was his heart sullen and uncomfortable!
