Chapter 238: How old is it?
Cai Xiaoxiao understood, it turned out that she had just asked Zhao Kangcheng to ask her subordinates to help him when she was outside, and a trace of emotion in her heart gradually spread, and she said to Zhao Kangcheng with a smile on her face: "Obey!" Messire! β
Zhao Kangcheng also smiled, reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
Cai Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose and expressed dissatisfaction with his small action of always pinching her face.
Waiting for Zhao Kangcheng to withdraw his hand, she said, "It just so happens that I have something for them to do." β
"You say." Zhao Kangcheng said.
Cai Xiaoxiao turned his head to Zhang Guangzhong and said, "Master Zhang......"
Zhang Guangzhong hurriedly said: "Madame can call her subordinates by name directly!" "He's just a small officer and soldier, not an adult.
Name? Cai Xiaoxiao thought about it and shouted with some uncertainty: "Guangzhong? β
As a result, Zhao Kangcheng was not happy, and said coldly on the side: "Just call the full name of the lady." β
Cai Xiaoxiao was helpless: "Zhang Guangzhong? β
Zhang Guangzhong immediately shouted: "The subordinates are here!" β
Zhao Kangcheng also hooked his lips with satisfaction, and Cai Xiaoxiao saw it and felt that he was naΓ―ve like a child.
Figuring out the name, Cai Xiaoxiao said to Zhang Guangzhong: "Zhang Guangzhong, please go to the ready-to-wear store and buy a few clothes for them." Remember to buy a few more. As he spoke, he took twenty taels of silver out of his money bag and gave it to him.
Zhang Guangzhong took the silver, answered yes and left.
Cai Xiaoxiao turned to look at the six people, thought about it, walked to the kitchen, and asked Cai Yan, who was busy in the kitchen: "Xiaoyan'er, can the kitchen boil hot water now?" She was afraid that both pots would be used.
"Not yet." Sure enough, Cai Yan shook her head. There are two pots, one for steaming and one for cooking, so naturally there is no extra to boil hot water for Cai Xiaoxiao.
"Okay." Then we can only wait for the afternoon, "Then let's cook six bowls of noodles...... Are you hungry? Cai Xiaoxiao leaned out of the kitchen door and asked the six people standing in the courtyard.
The six of them glanced at each other, and then at Cai Xiaoxiao, a little unsure who she was asking.
Cai Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand, pointed at them, and said, "Don't look at it, just ask the six of you, are you hungry?" If you're hungry, I'll have someone cook noodles for you to eat. β
The six of them widened their eyes, as if they were a little stunned, and then nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Cai Xiaoxiao understands that they are afraid and unaccustomed, take their time, and are not in a hurry. Let Cai Yan cook six bowls of noodles, Cai Xiaoxiao returned to the courtyard, Zhao Kangcheng was sitting at the stone table, still holding a book in his hand and flipping through it, and there was a cup of hot tea on the table.
Cai Xiaoxiao sat down opposite him, poured himself a cup of tea first, and then looked at the six people standing not far away, staring at them without blinking, nor talking, and didn't know what they were thinking.
In fact, Cai Xiaoxiao didn't think about anything, just thinking about what names to name these six people. Originally, I wanted to boil some hot water to bathe these six people, but since I can't take a bath now, let's take the name first.
Zhao Kangcheng glanced at her, knew what she was worried about, and said kindly: "Do you want me to help?" β
Cai Xiaoxiao shook his head: "Before, Xiaoyan, they were the names you took, and now these six belong to me." β
It's not sugar, it's so clearly divided. Listening to her childlike words, Zhao Kangcheng smiled at the corner of his lips, and then went with her, looking down and concentrating on reading his book.
Cai Xiaoxiao beckoned the six of them to take a few steps closer in front of her.
The six of them cautiously approached her, and Cai Xiaoxiao asked them, "How old are you?" β
The six of them were silent for a while, and then the tallest of them, and a girl, was also the one standing on the far left, and said, "Mrs. Hui, slave ......."
"Wait!" As soon as she spoke, Cai Xiaoxiao interrupted her words, so frightened that the girl thought that she had said something wrong, and her big eyes flashed with anxiety and panic, looking at Cai Xiaoxiao timidly.
Cai Xiaoxiao was helpless, held her forehead with one hand, and whispered to the girl: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say, I forgot to tell you, you don't have to call yourself a 'slave' or a 'slave' or anything like that in front of me, I don't feel comfortable listening to it, you can just call yourself 'me'." β
Hearing her words, the six of them opened their mouths in surprise, but she was now the master who bought them, so naturally they would do whatever she said, so they obediently responded: "Got it, madam." β
Cai Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction, and then the other party said to the girl, "You go on." β
"Yes, ma'am." The girl said, "I'm twelve. β
After she finished speaking, a boy standing to her right said, "Mrs. Hui, I am fourteen years old this year. β
Fourteen is a little shorter than twelve? Cai Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised, but didn't say anything, and raised her chin slightly to signal them to continue.
After the six of them finished talking about their ages, Cai Xiaoxiao could be regarded as having a little understanding of them. The oldest is the tallest of the boys, who is sixteen this year; The youngest is one of the girls, who is exactly ten years old this year, and the others are eleven or twelve or thirteen or fourteen years old.
After figuring out their ages, Cai Xiaoxiao began to name them, and the boys followed Zhao Kangcheng with the surname Zhao, and the girls followed Cai Xiaoxiao's surname Cai.
There are four boys and only two girls.
Cai Xiaoxiao thought for a long time, then pointed at them and began to name them in turn-
First of all, the boy who was going to assist Cai Yun in managing the chestnut tree in the future, and the eldest of the six: "You, your name is Zhao Li!" β
Although his eyes were focused on reading, his ears were still distracted by Zhao Kangcheng, who was listening to what Cai Xiaoxiao was going to name these six children, and when he heard the name Cai Xiaoxiao took, the hand that was about to hold the teacup paused, and looked back at her: "Which li?" "It can't be the li character he thought, right?
Cai Xiaoxiao also looked back at him: "Chestnut chestnut!" β
"Poof!" Zhao Kangcheng couldn't help laughing. It's really the chestnut character he thought!
Cai Xiaoxiao felt that he was laughing at the name she had chosen, so she couldn't help but glare at him: "What are you laughing at?" Don't you think I've got a bad name? β
Zhao Kangcheng didn't want to annoy Cai Xiaoxiao because of a name, so he restrained his smile, nodded, and said, "It's a good name." There was only a residual smile between his eyebrows.
"Humph!" Cai Xiaoxiao snorted, turned his head, and ignored him. In fact, she also knew what he was laughing at, and as soon as she heard the word "chestnut", she knew that it was based on chestnuts, and this was indeed the case.
