Xiao Yao, who returned to the Tong family, couldn't wait to go to the northwest to see with her own eyes how her grandfather and uncles were doing, but what could a seven-year-old child do! She could only silently pray in her heart that her grandfather was well.

Qian told Mrs. Tong about today's itinerary in detail, and the restaurant part was particularly detailed, and finally she didn't forget to express her feelings in her heart: "The third son of the Tang family has too many eyes, and he will only pretend to be a good person in front of his cousin, so he must be more careful in the future." ”

"It won't be long before Ping An will return to Kyoto, can he still chase him to Kyoto, I'm more worried that Ping An will go home in a hurry, hey! Even if General Xiao didn't hurt her in vain, it is normal for her to be worried, and if we ignore the news when we hear it, we should be even more worried. ”

Who doesn't want her children and grandchildren to be affectionate and righteous, Mrs. Tong no longer cares about laughing with her granddaughter-in-law, and hurriedly walks to her granddaughter's residence, thinking about how to comfort her granddaughter as she walks.

With a calm face, it is the granddaughter who is telling the story to his three little great-grandchildren! Mrs. Tong watched quietly for a while, didn't say a word, turned around and left again.

This child's temperament is really incomprehensible, and when you think she is sensible and well-behaved, she will do something unexpected; But when there are some things that children usually choose to cry and cry about, she looks like nothing happened, so that you can't figure out her true thoughts at all.

No wonder her daughter complains of headaches every day, Mrs. Tong now feels the same way, Ping An is too unusual, and the performance of other people's children of the same age is completely different.

One day in early April, two men on horseback came from outside the gate of Tong's house.

"Excuse me, just say that the people from the Xiao family in Kyoto are here." The people who came were Xiao Jingmin and Xiao Lang, in fact, Xiao Jingkang wanted to pick up his daughter in person, but his wife Tong Mingyu's words dispelled his thoughts.

"Do you think it's right for you to go? Are you sure my father will let Ping An go with you? ”

It was not appropriate to go by himself, and his son couldn't leave, so Xiao Jingmin became the most suitable candidate, and Xiao Lang was appointed to protect a few people.

"Let me see who the family sends to pick us both up." Xiao Yao ran towards the gate regardless of her image.

"Run slowly, be careful not to fall." Mrs. Tong held Xiao Yuan, who had not yet reacted to what had happened, and shouted to her granddaughter who had run away.

She has always been worried that Xiao Yuan will lose weight in her own house for the New Year, so she asks the kitchen to change the tricks to cook food for her every day, probably when she reaches her age, Xiao Yuan no longer grows meat even if she drinks water like when she was a child, but she is not thin.

After the door opened, Xiao Yao saw her third uncle and eldest brother, although it was not her father and second brother who made her feel a little lost, but as long as someone came to pick her up, she was very happy.

"Third uncle, eldest brother, hard work, please inside." Xiao Yao bowed down and made a gesture to invite in.

"Little naughty, you're seven years old for the New Year, why don't you see the big girl, you are the eldest lady of the Xiao family, you must always remember to maintain the image of a lady." Xiao Jingmin has read more books than the eldest brother and the second brother, and knows that a steady and elegant girl will have a better reputation, and the children have gradually grown up, and it is time to pay attention to manners.

"Huh." Xiao Yao smiled and said nothing, the third uncle will see who is the most ladyless in a while.

"It turned out that the third uncle and Brother Lang were here, and they worked hard all the way, please inside." Tong Jinsheng happened to be at home today, so he came out to greet the guests as a representative.

"Are these two children naughty and causing trouble, especially my little daughter, who must have caused you a lot of trouble." Other people's families know Mo Ruomu, but in Xiao Jingmin's family, it is the opposite, the mother is a careless person, and many things need to be done by him, the father.

"Third uncle, you don't know, thanks to the two cousins here, our year has been a lot more interesting, Ruyi's cousin is delicate and obedient, and several children in our family especially like to play with her." Tong Jinsheng said with a smile.

"I'm afraid there will be no less trouble, Ah Yi has told us when he goes back, these two children are not the masters of peace."

"We're very well-behaved, aren't we, cousin." Xiao Yao smiled and asked her cousin for help.

"It's strange to be well-behaved, it's okay to deceive others, if you want to deceive the third uncle, you have to cultivate for a few more years."

"Sister, you secretly learn martial arts, this speed is really like using light skills, and I'm tired to death." Xiao Yuan stood there panting, fanning back and forth with his hands without any image, just like a little boy.

"Xiao Yuan." Xiao Jingmin gritted his teeth and said, if Ping An lost the image of a lady just now, then Xiao Yuan simply has no image at all, and he looks like a gangster in the market.

"Dad, why are you here, second brother?" Is his royal servant on strike?

"What do you mean by that, don't you want to see Daddy?" I had only heard of a stepfather before, but now Xiao Jingmin feels that his daughter must be a stepfather.

"It's all right, it's all right." Seeing that his father's face was getting more and more gloomy, Xiao Yuan hurriedly began to remedy.

"Third Uncle Ping'an will take you in." Xiao Jingmin, who was perfunctory by his own daughter, planned to give his daughter a dismissal, and also made her understand that this kind of girl is unlikable.

How could Xiao Yao fall into the trap of the third uncle? She took the hand of her eldest brother Xiao Lang early, and the brother and sister walked to the yard with a smile.

"Daddy, I know you're too excited to come, and it won't be like this next time, don't be angry, okay?" Xiao Yuan reorganized her appearance and tried her best to show the style of a little lady, she didn't dare not change it, and if she wanted to go out to play in the future, she had to bow her head.

Xiao Jingmin didn't care about how much water would be in his daughter's words, so he held the fleshy little hand and went to see Old Man Tong and Mrs. Tong.

Xiao Jingmin, who has seen the two old men, finally understands why the eldest brother did not come forward in person, but sent himself here, because since he entered the living room, the old man kept chattering, why are there many places in the south that have not brought children to play! Why is it that I am old, and I don't know how many years and months I have to wait to see my granddaughter again......

In the end, it was Mrs. Tong who grabbed the conversation, and Xiao Yao comforted, comforted and promised that he would come as soon as he had time, so that the old man stopped nagging.

"Her third uncle, don't take it to heart if my old man says it, we like two children, but we also know that they should go home after going out for a few months." Although Mrs. Tong said so, she was indeed reluctant to give up her granddaughter, and when she thought of not knowing when she would be able to meet again, she was inevitably melancholy and reluctant.

"It's a blessing for them to have your second elder love them like this, and I will have time to let the two children come over to say hello to the second elder in the future."

How can it be so easy, my granddaughter is a year older, and I am afraid that she will not even be able to go out in a few years, let alone come all the way to Suzhou. Mrs. Tong looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, although there are many grandchildren, but this granddaughter has always been unique in her heart, and now she is really reluctant to leave.

When Xiao Jingmin came, he brought a lot of gifts to the second elder and the Tong family, and he was going back, Mrs. Tong prepared several times more things for her in-laws, daughter, and grandson, from food to clothing, plus what Xiao Yao and the sisters bought, Xiao Jingmin had to ask Tong Guangyu to help him rent a big boat alone, because the boat couldn't carry so many things when he came.

The departure date was set for five days later, Xiao Jingmin and Xiao Lang used their leisure time to take their children to play around Suzhou, and this time they also came with Ruan Mama and the old Tong family, probably they wanted to spend more time with their granddaughter.

"Young master, the slave found out that there are several strangers in the Tong family in the past few days, could it be that they are from Kyoto." In this way, is Miss Xiao, who the young master is thinking about, about to leave? Yan Bo couldn't bear to look at his master's face, he didn't choose so many people and young ladies in Suzhou who liked the young master, but he fell in love with a little girl from afar. But I have to say that the young master's vision is really good, and the young lady of the Xiao family is much more pleasing to the eye than the young ladies I have seen before.

"Go down." Tang Hao was holding a book in his hand, but his eyes didn't stay on the page, he was also anxious, but what could he do! Miss Xiao's home is in Kyoto, and people will have to go back sooner or later.

There are only two ways in front of him, either give up, or study hard, enter the academy in Kyoto in a few years, and come back with a champion in the future to be eligible to go to Xiao's house to see her, or to propose marriage, now I can't do anything, I can only watch her silently, pay attention to her, and the rest can only be resigned to fate.

One morning a few days later, the housekeeper of the Tong family came to visit, saying that Miss Biao had a gift for the ancestor of the Tang family.

"Show me." The ancestor of the Tang family was also very curious, what would the little girl who had always missed her great-grandson give herself?

The housekeeper of the Tong family presented a long box with both hands, and after opening it, everyone found that it was a scroll, and when the maid carefully unfolded the scroll, they saw that the Tang family had a surprised expression.

I was also stunned by Miss Biao's hand-drawn skills in the morning, and I don't know what method she used, and the characters she drew were both vivid and expressive.

Xiao Yao prefers to paint portraits, without charcoal, she experimented with many kinds of charcoal, and then had people cut them into the shape of pencils, and she had already painted the portrait of the old lady of the Tang family.

Thinking that her grandfather's family would definitely ask for it when they saw it, they should give a parting gift, Xiao Yao quietly painted a picture for each master of the Tong family, and after painting so many portraits, her level has obviously improved by a grade, and now it can be regarded as living up to Mama Ruan's expectations, I believe everyone will be satisfied.

As for Xiao Yuan and his family, who were shouting about unfairness, they could paint it again when they went back, they could do as much as they wanted.

"In the future, when my grandfather celebrates his birthday, Ping An will help me draw a portrait, and my grandfather will not want anything else."

"My grandmother wants it too."

"And uncle, aunt."

"We want it too."

…… ……

Xiao Yao didn't dare to perform too well in order to match the level of a seven-year-old child, but he didn't expect that even so, he was still sought after. Xiao Yao promised everyone with a smile, and at the same time promised in her heart that the future portrait would definitely get better and better year by year.
