Shuyao was sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, embroidering, and felt very comfortable with the warm sunshine shining on her body. Xiaoguai and Huohuo were also lying at her feet, basking in the sun, too lazy to move.

Two people came in from outside the courtyard gate. The one walking in front was a woman with a simple round bun, wearing a clear cotton-padded robe with a chinchilla fur collar, and holding a post in her hand. Followed by

Behind the mother-in-law is a little maid in Tsing Yi, about fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a flat wooden box in her hand.

The mother-in-law saw Shuyao under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and thought she must be the cousin she was looking for. Just as she was about to step forward, Huohuo suddenly made a "squeak" sound, and the little boy who was sleeping with his eyes closed immediately raised his head.

, looked at the two strangers warily. The mother-in-law hurriedly stopped, but fortunately she did not scream in fright.

They had already been warned not to scream or speak loudly in the Xia family's yard, especially when facing their cousins ​​and the two young masters. It would not be fun if they offended the extremely protective White Tiger.

The little maid in green clothes whispered in a trembling voice: "Aren't you talking about the little tiger cub? This is obviously a big tiger."

Erniu, who came over with a bowl of red date soup, smiled and said, "You will grow taller, and our little boy will naturally grow up too, right? How can we always be tiger cubs? Who are you two looking for?"

The old lady stood there and looked at Shuyao, not daring to go forward: "Cousin, this old slave is Mrs. Deng from the Zhen Mansion in Daming Prefecture. She is serving at the old lady's side. I have met my cousin before."

Mrs. Deng is the first person around Mrs. Zhen. Zhen Dafu and Zhen Dagui respectfully call her "Mama Deng", let alone the young master and girl of her grandchildren. She really hasn't called herself "Old Slave" for many years. It's really true that she speaks like this.

hard to pronounce.

Mrs. Deng was cursing in her heart, but it didn't stop her face from being respectful and modest, with a just right smile.

Shuyao lowered her eyes, looking like she was concentrating on embroidery, but she was actually hiding the hatred and anger in her eyes.

In the previous life, Shu Wen's brain was burned out and then drowned. This Mrs. Deng was the direct culprit. Although in the previous life, Li Muhai had avenged this revenge for her in order to please Shu Yao. Mrs. Deng's grandson was also burned.

Damn my mind. At this moment, Shuyao couldn't help but trembled with hatred when she saw Mrs. Deng. Xiaoguai and Huohuo quickly sensed Shuyao's emotions, and they all stared at Mrs. Deng angrily, as if they only wanted Shuyao to give an order.

They will rush over and tear apart the woman's formation.

Mrs. Deng and the little maid were so stared at that they started to tremble. Her voice was not loud and her attitude was very gentle. Why did the white tiger look so angry?

Shuyao secretly took a few deep breaths. When she raised her eyes, her eyes had returned to clarity and innocence: "Since you are waiting in front of my grandmother, you don't have to be so formal. Erniu, bring a chair for Mother Deng to sit on."

"Thank you so much, cousin!" Mrs. Deng was secretly shocked. Her cousin was not yet seven years old. Her words and gestures revealed an aura that made people dare not underestimate her, but she couldn't fault her.

Mrs. Deng bowed and said, "I am here to convey the message to the old lady and the uncle. The eighth day of the first lunar month is the old lady's birthday. The old lady has not seen Miss Yao and Master Wen for many years. She wants to take you to Damingfu City to celebrate the New Year.

, I just happened to attend the old lady’s birthday party before sending you back. The old lady feels sorry for you two at such a young age... I can’t help crying every time I think about it.”

This is to put aside the eldest brother so that he can coax her and Shuwen? Shuyao is funny, how many years has it been? She and Shuwen have never seen that grandmother since they were born, right? No one in the Zhen family has seen it until her mother closed her eyes.

On that day, the old lady will feel sorry for them? Maybe it’s because she feels sorry for Qianzi, and she wants to strangle her to death.

"We go to my grandma's house to celebrate the New Year. What will happen to my eldest brother? What will happen to my parents? Our surname is Xia, we are descendants of the Xia family, and our eldest brother is like our father. Naturally, where my eldest brother is, we will be there. How can we run away to others?

Are you celebrating the Chinese New Year in the house?" Shuwen ran over with a look like a grown-up. He became angry when he thought that the Zhen family wanted to sell him and his sister. When he heard that another person from the Zhen family was coming, he hurriedly left the study room.

I ran out because I was afraid that my sister would be bullied.

Shuwen's words were a bit harsh, but he was right. He was a 6-year-old kid, and it was hard for others to accuse him. Shuyao didn't say anything to stop her. After Shuwen finished speaking, she smiled and said: "Wen'er

Don’t be anxious. Let Mother Liu see it and say that you are impatient. We have a big brother in charge of the family. No matter who has any ideas, they must discuss it with him. Mother Deng is a maternal grandmother, so she naturally understands this principle. The two of us

What can a child decide? Just tell us whatever you want."

Whether intentionally or not, when Shuyao said "grandmother", she emphasized the word "foreign" very hard.

Shuwen and Shuyao were both strong and soft, one was a bad person and the other was a red person, which made Mrs. Deng, who thought she was a sophisticated woman, a little confused. The little maid behind Mrs. Deng also widened her eyes: This cousin and the young master are only six years old.

Isn't it years old? Look at what they say! No wonder the people who came here with the eldest brother and his wife a few times said that the cousins ​​were not easy to mess with. The eldest brother and the madam couldn't please each other, and they went back miserable.

Not only were these two people in a mess, Xia Shuqing, who had just stepped into the courtyard, also sighed secretly: The Zhen family has no face in front of Shuyao and the other three, and it is also difficult for their Xia family to get close to these three brothers and sisters.

But in order to have more connections and dependence in the future, and for the advice of her aunt Xia Ruoxue, Shu Qing had to put down her body and run to this small courtyard in the market place. Although their Xia Mansion was empty, it was still concentrated in Yulin County where wealthy people lived.

Living in the area, where did you come to a lowly area like Xitang Street before?

Seeing Shuqing come in with Mother Lu and her personal maid Adai, Shuyao strangely wanted to look up at the sky: What kind of good day is today? A day for "expensive" guest appearances?

"Sister Qing'er is here? Erniu, bring another chair. I'm sorry, Sister Qing'er, and Mother Deng. Our family all has this kind of chair, so you can just sit down." Shuyao said politely.

He said, but there was no hint of discomfort or embarrassment in his tone.

After regaining her composure, Mother Deng saw Xia Shuqing, who was luxuriously dressed and had an outstanding temperament. She thought it must be the third girl from the Xu family who had a good relationship with her cousin, and smiled flatteringly: "My cousin, do you have a distinguished guest?"

"She is a clan sister. Mother Liu said that all the distinguished guests come to her door." After Shuyao answered, she took a spoonful of red date soup and swallowed it. Her movements were graceful, making people happy just to see her. "Sister Qing'er, are you okay?

Would you like a bowl of red date soup?"

Although it was expected, Shuqing's crisp introduction to Shuyao as "a clan sister" was still very depressing, "No, thank you sister Yao'er. Auntie cares about you very much and asks me to come over often to see you and your family."

If we have less contact with our close relatives, it will be bad if we are separated from each other."

Shuwen saw that there were only two girls, an older one and a younger one. He knew that they couldn't please Shuyao, and they were protected by his little boy, so he didn't bother to watch them acting coyly here: "Sister, you entertain the guests, I'll go back to the study."

Come on. Little darling, Huohuo, please stay with your sister obediently and don’t rush into the guests."

Xiaoguai shook his head to express receipt.

Huohuo gave a disdainful "squeak" and rolled his eyes at Shuwen, as if to say "nonsense!"

Shuyao patted Huohuo's head in a funny way and nodded to Shuwen: "Go ahead and drink the red date soup first, don't let it cool down."

Shu Qing secretly squeezed her fist when she saw that Shu Yao didn't respond at all to her "family talk" and that brat Shu Wen was still a "guest". Seeing that Xiao Guai and Huo Huo were so spiritual, she was really envious.

.How come Shuyao has such good things happen to her? God gave her a new life, isn’t that because he loves her so much? Should he compensate her? Why not give her some unique good luck?

Seeing the disappointment and jealousy on her girl's face, Mother Lu quietly patted the back of her hand. The girl was still not calm enough.

Mrs. Deng also murmured secretly: It seems that the Xia family is also trying to please the three children of the aunt, but the cousin and the young master are really in trouble.

Fortunately, she was mentally prepared before she came. The uncle told her that these three people were evil, and because the Murong Mansion wanted to "recognize" Shuyao, she was still worried about it and had a grudge against the Zhen family.

, I’m afraid I won’t agree to go to Zhen’s Mansion to celebrate the New Year.

Mrs. Deng originally thought that it would not be difficult for her to coax her two children, but... the two younger ones were so difficult to deal with, not to mention the older one. Alas, having a backer means you are confident!

Forget it, now I have to settle for the next best thing and complete the mission of this trip: "Cousin, what the old lady means is that you want to pay homage to my aunt and uncle on New Year's Eve. You can just arrive at the house before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

I will stay in the mansion for a few more days to accompany her. The old slave couldn't bear to see the old lady thinking about my cousin and young master all day long, and wanted to give the old lady a surprise, so I took it upon myself to let you go to Damingfu City to celebrate the New Year."

Shuyao just "concentrated" on tasting the red date soup. This is Liu's mother's unique skill, so delicious!

After Mrs. Deng finished talking to herself, "taking out her heart and lungs", Shuyao said: "Er Niu, take the post from Deng's mother and hand it over to the elder brother when he comes back. He will naturally make arrangements."

How can a six-year-old girl like her have the patience to "understand" Mrs. Deng's wordy words? Let's focus on the key points and follow up the post with the following: Mrs. Deng's willingness to waste her words on being sentimental is her own business, haha.

"..." Mrs. Deng was at a loss for words. She had been talking about her feelings for a long time. Was she playing the piano to a cow? Alas, she was overthinking it. Although her cousin seemed smart, wasn't she just a little baby? How could she understand this? That's all. Anyway, the post was delivered.

"Cousin, the old slave is going back first."

"Well," Shuyao took the hot cotton towel handed over by Erniu and printed her lips, "please ask Mother Deng to say hello to our grandmother and uncles and aunts on behalf of our brothers and sisters." Mother Liu said, saying good things to express her gratitude.

There is no need to spend money on false gifts, even though they are generous. Gifts? No! If they brought something, they would just give back something of similar value. If they didn’t bring something, of course they wouldn’t have to return the gift! (To be continued. If you like this work
