Chapter 102: Teaching
Seeing that the rescuers were coming, several children hiding in various places appeared one after another.
General Xiao grabbed Xiao Yuan with one hand, hugged Xiao Yao with the other, looked at the two granddaughters with a pair of eyes, and asked in his mouth, "Did your fourth uncle bully you?" With your grandfather here, you don't have to be afraid of him. ”
"Dad, there must be a limit to eccentricity." Xiao Jingyan protested.
Xiao Rui approached a few brothers, whispered to them, and gave a general description of the cause of the incident. Not to mention Xiao Lang and Xiao Yi, even the corners of Xiao Yang's mouth, who usually doesn't smile, curled up slightly.
It turned out that Ping An was naughty again, no wonder he wanted to hide, several brothers wanted to know such a strange idea, how did his sister come up with it? Her ideas are never different from others, and what she does is often unexpected, what she does is really incomprehensible!
"Fourth brother, how about I exchange a message for my son, daughter and nephew and niece." Xiao Jingkang knew that he didn't ask, it must be his daughter who did something good, looking at the aggrieved look of the fourth brother, he was indifferent on the surface, and he was already secretly happy in his heart.
"Speak up and let me hear it." One news, I want to exchange a group of bear children, and I am too much of a loss.
"Miss Yu will get married soon, and she will marry far away, so she probably won't return to Kyoto in the future." Xiao Jingkang revealed the freshly baked news to his family.
Everyone who heard the news was surprised, Xiao Jingyan and Xiao Yao thought at the same time, the days of fear were finally over!
Xiao Jingyan secretly regretted that if this news had come out earlier, he might not have to follow King Jing to the northwest.
Now that the trip is imminent, it is impossible for me to regret it, hey! This may be fate!
"I don't know where Miss Yu will marry? If you go to the northwest, maybe you can go with the fourth uncle! Xiao Rui guessed with his chin in his hand.
Xiao Jingkang called the children except Xiao Rui to his side, as for the one who he had to send to the door to find someone to be beaten, he couldn't care about it, he just hoped that the fourth brother would be light and not cripple people.
Xiao Yao covered her eyes with her hands and said in her heart: Fourth brother, are you not beaten twice a day, and you can't sleep at night? Seeing the figures running out one after the other, the same howling sound as the pigs outside, Xiao Yao couldn't sympathize with the fourth brother at all.
After a long while, Xiao Jingyan carried Xiao Rui back into everyone's sight, one was still personable, the other bared his teeth and frowned, rubbing his buttocks.
"Well deserved!" Xiao Yuan leaned on Xiao Yao's ear and said softly.
Xiao Yao said in her heart: Anyway, that's your own brother, even if you pretend, you should pretend to be distressed, and say a few words of comfort, this is what a sister should look like. But it's good that you were the first to stand up and gloat, no wonder the relationship between the two of you is not like brother and sister, but like enemies.
After everyone quieted down, General Xiao asked about the preparation of his youngest son's trip, he was distressed and helpless to his old wife, and after thinking about it, he said: "Bring some change of clothes for Xiaosi, daily things, when he leaves, only one person, one car, and a few entourage, you look at it, and wait until the day he goes out, if there are still several cars, I can only accompany him to King Jing to ask for sin." ”
"Why is that?" Qin asked.
"Your son is just a small entourage official, but you give him a trip like the prince, in addition to making people say that he has no rules, do you think the prince will be happy in his heart?" General Xiao held back his anger and explained.
"Well, that's all I'll listen to." If you don't let you bring something, don't bring it, and prepare more silver tickets for your son, which is affordable and doesn't take up space, now it depends on what you are against.
After solving Xiao Jingyan's problem, the birthday of the county lord of King Jingfu is approaching, and new clothes and new jewelry are also placed in front of everyone. The sisters each made three sets of clothes, and filled a box full of various beads.
"Second aunt, this is too exaggerated, we are going to a banquet, not for beauty, where do we need so many clothes and jewelry." Going to a beauty pageant? But the two of them are too young! Xiao Yao looked at the things in front of her and asked.
"Woman...... How can a girl dislike a lot of clothes, go and try it, while there is still time now, where it is not suitable to change it quickly. Li Jiaoying urged.
"Go and get new clothes, grandmother wants to see it too." The Qin family also likes to dress up their granddaughter like a flower, and there are just two girls in the family, and they have always worn the best clothes.
Xiao Yao chose a relatively ordinary one from her own clothes, went to the inner room to change it, Xiaohui wanted to comb her hair again, and then put on a new pearl flower, but Xiao Yao refused.
"Just change your clothes, and wait until you go to the banquet."
"Yes." Xiaohui noticed that Miss didn't seem to have any interest in the upcoming party at all, so she didn't dare to talk much, don't look at Miss usually has a good temper, but she always tries to refuse what she doesn't want to do.
Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan, who had changed their clothes, stood in front of their grandmother and second aunt Li Jiaoying again.
Xiao Yao was lazy and lazy, obviously perfunctory, Xiao Yuan thought that the sleeves were long for a while, and the skirt was in the way for a while, Qin and Li Jiaoying couldn't help but sigh, how rare it was to be able to go to the palace to participate in the county lord's birthday banquet! I'm afraid that others can't ask for it, but their two children don't care at all, as if it doesn't matter if they go or not.
"When you go to the palace, you have to abide by the rules and get along well with the county lord, if only Mama Ruan could agree to accompany you." The Qin family was not worried about the two children going to the banquet alone, and after seeing their attitude today, they were even more uneasy. It's a pity that the adults in the family were not invited and couldn't accompany their granddaughter, and if Mama Ruan could go, she wouldn't have to worry.
In a casual conversation with Xiao Yao later, Mama Ruan mentioned that if the sisters were afraid, she could accompany them.
"Don't bother you, I will definitely be able to handle it, the princess said that she would not invite too many people, and the cousins of the Yuan family will also go, so you don't have to worry." How can there be a reason for the master to accompany the disciple around, and the master has to teach himself, and he also has to prepare medicinal diet, medicinal bath, acupuncture, and he must not be idle every day, and when he goes to the palace garden, the master can take the opportunity to rest.
Oops, it turns out that he is such a filial and sensible child, it is so touching, Xiao Yao shook her head intoxicated.
"What do you think, you kid!" Mama Ruan smiled and glanced at Xiao Yao, this disciple of her own is thinking endlessly, you don't know when she will be naughty and naughty.
If it was in the past, Mama Ruan would never let the people she taught be so nonsense, but now maybe she is old and doesn't have so much competitiveness; Perhaps the Xiao family's expectations for their children are completely different from those of most officials, allowing them to relax their requirements and lower their standards; Maybe it was because I subconsciously also expected to live a free and wanton life like Xiao Yao, but it couldn't be realized for various reasons, so I deliberately indulged ......
Mama Ruan's standards, requirements, and pickiness have been changed and lowered by Xiao Yao, and she is afraid that one day she will not talk about any principles at all. But now she likes life very much, she is busy and worried about this child every day, watching the little girl smile like a flower, reading and studying, and even messing around and naughty, she is very willing to live like this.
However, there is one thing that even Mama Ruan herself has to admit that Xiao Yao is definitely an obedient and serious student when she is studying, except for occasionally bargaining with herself on study tasks, there is really nothing to find fault with, and for this reason, Mama Ruan is also willing to indulge her.
"You can see this, our master and apprentice are becoming more and more intelligent."
"Let's talk about it." The sycophants are getting smoother and smoother, and this kid is like two people in front of his own people and in front of others.
"I think I only use cow's milk to bathe, the smell of milk on my body is too big, can I add some flower petals, preferably flower juice or something." Master, I want to use perfume, and I've been thinking about it for a long time. It's best to cooperate with you to develop it, if it's successful, then I won't be a "milk doll" in the future, and people want to be a fragrant girl in the future.
"Originally, the master thought that he would not use it until you were ten years old, but since you mentioned it today, then plan ahead."
"What a plan."
"You know what? Medicated baths are not only used to cure diseases, it can strengthen a man's physique, and it can also make a woman more beautiful and fragrant. ”
What the master said should mean that the medicated bath can improve the skin texture and remove the odor on the body, but I didn't expect that there was really a way to change the smell on my body. The wisdom of the ancients is truly admirable!
"Which scent do you like?"
"The smell of jasmine is good, as long as it's light and not too strong." It would be nice if there was lavender, but so far, I haven't heard about it.
"Master understands, you can get your wish in a few days."
"Thank you, master, can I learn from you to make some spices and make some medicinal food in the future!"
"Why do you want to learn this?" Since she is willing to let her call her a master, that is to accept her as a disciple, as long as she wants to learn, of course she will not be stingy, Mama Ruan just wants to hear her reasons.
"If you learn to make spices, you can make your own things according to your own preferences, and you can also give them to your family and friends; After learning how to make medicinal food, I will make it for my grandfather, grandmother, father, master, and all my relatives. The most important thing is that if I did, you wouldn't have to work so hard. ”
"Sounds good." Mama Ruan smiled, she believed Xiao Yao's words, because the child in front of her had clear eyes and did not dodge.
"The master can let you learn to see, if you are suitable for this, the master will naturally not object. But let's say it first, there are some things that belong to the exclusive secret recipe that you can only learn by yourself, and must not be passed on to others. ”
"I promise you, can I make something for others to use?"
"Of course you can."
"Master, thank you." Xiao Yao thanked Mama Ruan from the bottom of her heart.
