Chapter 31: Awkwardness

"What's wrong? My little girl, why are you crying? ”

Old Madam Xiao heard the cry and walked out of the room.

Xiao Ling ran over crying slightly: "Grandmother hug." ”

Old Madam Xiao picked her up and said distressedly: "Ouch, look at this crying like a little flower cat, wronged?" ”

Old Madam Xiao looked at the three brothers lined up in the courtyard with their heads bowed and didn't dare to speak, and asked sharply, "Are you bullying Weiwei?" ”

The three of them hurriedly waved their hands: "No, no." ”

How dare they bully this little ancestor.

"Why did you cry slightly?"

The three of them were speechless, not daring to say anything about their persuasion to go to see their mother.

Xiao Ling tugged at Old Madam Xiao's sleeve slightly: "Grandmother, let's go in." ”

Old Madam Xiao glanced at them lightly and carried Xiao Lingwei into the house.

Xiao Lingfeng slapped Xiao Linghui's head violently: "It's all you, can't you say it later?" The pastries made by my mother didn't eat a few pieces.

"If my mother knew, how sad would she be?"

Xiao Linghui honestly admitted his mistake: "Yes, it's all my fault, next time you say it." ”

Xiao Lingfeng choked and slapped him again: "Don't you leave yet, wait for the old lady to come and catch up?" ”

Xiao Linghui touched his nose and walked out dejectedly.

……

Xiao Lingwei saw the old lady go out, so she shouted: "Lanhai, Lanhai." ”

Lan Hai ran in: "What does Miss Six command?" ”

Xiao Ling twisted and pinched for a long time before asking, "What about those pastries just now?" ”

Lan Hai: "Throw it away." ”

"Thrown." Xiao Lingwei jumped up from the chair: "How can you throw it?" I haven't eaten yet. ”

Lan Hai said innocently: "It was Miss Sixth that you said you wouldn't eat it, so the slave and maid threw it away." ”

"I... I just said that I didn't eat it at the time, and I didn't say that I wouldn't eat it later.

"Also, I told you to take it away, but I didn't tell you to throw it away.

"You... How can you make your own claims. ”

"Hmph."

Xiao Ling slapped the table in a slight anger, but she didn't expect that it was the injured right hand that stretched out, and the next moment, she screamed again.

"Miss Six, are you alright?" Lan Hai immediately stepped forward to inspect her hand.

"You go away... Whining. ”

I don't know if it hurts to clap my hands or I feel aggrieved, Xiao Lingwei's tears flowed out like spring water.

Lan Hai saw her crying sadly and beckoned to the door.

Mrs. Shen walked in with a plate and put the pastries on the table one by one.

Xiao Lingwei's tears stopped at once, and she stared straight at those pastries.

"This is the pastry brought by the eighth young master, the slave is afraid of the cold, and the sixth lady will have a stomach upset if she eats it, so she will take it to the kitchen to warm it."

Lan Hai deliberately said that it was the Eighth Young Master, but did not say that the Sixth Lady did it herself, because he was afraid that Xiao Lingwei would make another awkward move.

In order to take care of her face, Lan Hai and Shen Niangzi said: "The slave and maid will retire first." ”

Xiao Lingwei deliberately didn't look at the pastry, and said "um" lightly.

When they went out of the door, she grabbed the pastry and ate it.

Lan Hai and Shen Niangzi quietly looked in through the door curtain.

"Miss Six blames Mrs. Six on her lips, but in fact, she still remembers Mrs. Six in her heart."

"Yes, it's a child of this age, and his temperament is awkward.

"Obviously, I miss the sixth lady very much, and I still call my mother when I sleep at night, but I don't recognize it when I wake up, so I have to say that my mother is bad."

"Let's go, don't look at it, or it's time to make trouble again."

……

Zhong Mu hurriedly ran in with a wooden box in his hand: "Sixteenth young master, it's done, the sun hasn't set yet." ”

"What's done?"

Xiao Lingfeng snatched the wooden box from Zhong Mu's hand and opened it: "What is this, strange?" ”

Xiao Lingyun also took one and observed it in his hand.

Seeing that they didn't know each other, Xiao Linghui looked a little proud, and he swaggered: "This is a toothbrush, which is used to brush teeth." ”

He pointed to his head: "This is the brush head, made of horsetail, pour green salt on it, and you can brush your teeth." ”

Xiao Lingyun asked coldly, "You came up with this idea?" ”

Xiao Linghui's hand paused, and he said with a stiff neck: "This is what I asked the craftsman to make." ”

Zhong Mu nodded his head to show loyalty: "Yes, yes." ”

Xiao Lingyun glanced at Zhong Mu lightly: "That is, he didn't come up with this thing." ”

The display in Xiao Linghui's eyes suddenly disappeared: "It's... It was Li Xuan's kid who gave Xiao Zhu a toothbrush and asked Xiao Zhu to give it to the sixth sister, and I intercepted it.

"You don't know, how can that kid use a toothbrush made of willow branches, such an ordinary thing, for the sixth sister?

"Right?"

Xiao Lingfeng and Xiao Lingyun nodded in agreement.

"So, I asked Zhong Mu to find a craftsman and remade two of them as usual.

"Wait, I'll try it first."

Xiao Linghui asked Zhong Mu to bring green salt and a glass of water, he picked up the toothbrush and began to brush his teeth as Xiao Zhu said.

The other three watched curiously.

After brushing his teeth, Xiao Linghui said in surprise: "Don't say it, this thing is very convenient for brushing your teeth." ”

Usually, people brush their teeth just with their fingers or willow branches dipped in some green salt, like Xiao Mansion, using a better wood, the sixth lady has a rich dowry, and they are prepared with nanmu.

Xiao Lingfeng picked up another toothbrush: "I'll try it too." ”

"Don't use it."

Xiao Linghui rushed over like a wind and snatched the toothbrush: "This is for Weiwei, if you want it, I'll ask Zhong Mu to do it again." ”

After speaking, he instructed Zhong Mu: "Go, according to this pattern, make four more handfuls."

"No, I'm going to make ten more, I'm going to give them to my grandfather and grandmother."

Xiao Lingfeng felt bored, sat on the chair, caught a glimpse of something on Luohan's bed, and immediately walked over.

"Oops..."

It was too late for Xiao Linghui to stop him.

Xiao Lingfeng picked up a crumpled piece of paper with mud marks and looked at it, there were two black dots on it.

Xiao Lingyun picked up another gadget, which was a rabbit folded out of paper.

He looked at the other origami, and there were mice, snakes, dogs, flowers, stars, and two strange shapes that he didn't recognize.

He opened his mouth and said, "This is what Li Xuan gave to the sixth sister that day. ”

Remembering the scene that day, he remembered, these origami papers were kicked away by them, how could they be here?

Puzzled, he asked, "Sixteen, how can these things be with you?" ”

Xiao Linghui's expression was a little sneering: "I later asked someone to find these things back..."

"So, you've been tinkering with all this stuff for the past two nights?"

Xiao Linghui nodded: "Well, I thought that since Weiwei likes these things, then I'll find them back and study them to see how they are folded."

"When I learned it, I folded a new one and sent it to the sixth sister.

"As soon as she is happy, maybe she will go to see her mother, and her mother will not be sad."

Xiao Lingyun asked, "Have you learned?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Linghui hung his head in frustration: "I dismantled a toad, but it never returned to its original appearance, so I didn't dare to dismantle the others." ”

Xiao Lingfeng took the dirty paper with two black dots and looked left and right: "So difficult? ”

He threw the paper out: "It's just some origami, what's so funny." ”

After complaining, after a while, I picked up the paper again and studied it silently.

Xiao Lingyun looked at the other origami, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll try..."
