Xue nodded again, but after taking it, he put it in the bag in front of his chest, along with the sprouts he had picked. This, this, this...
Wei Zhao was speechless.
Since Wei Zhao Niang wanted to make lunch herself, she wasn't willing to wait in the living room. "Let me help my cousin."
The locust flowers had been washed early in the morning and put on the sieve to be hung. The leek had also been washed clean and the noodles had also been sent early. Wei Zhao Niang explained to Lady Xue.
In the winter, he sliced a plate of cured meat and cooked it in the pot. Then, he scooped out a piece of tender lotus root and made a plate of stir-fried lotus root.
Not long after that, the Sophora Flower Rice, Leek Egg Cake, Sophora Flower Pancake, Toona Egg Fried Chicken were all prepared. There was also a pot of millet congee that had been cooked for more than an hour; the rich fragrance of the rice filled the air and Wei Zhao was hungry.
Xue Xianyun tried a pair of chopsticks and scrambled eggs with Chinese toons. Unexpectedly, he had a strong interest in the Sophora Flower Rice, and ate two bowls in succession. Luckily, the Du Family's bowl was not big, so it exceeded his daily appetite.
Wei Zhao Niang explained, "The Sophora Flower Rice looks like a lot, but it's actually not much. I think it won't be long before I get hungry again."
Lady Xue smiled and said, "You're so weak, you can't even have as good an appetite as Miss Zhao. No wonder they're the same age, you're almost half the same age."
The dark side of Xue Buyun! He hated people who talked about things with their height the most.
"All the children in the manor are raised by free people, but we are still spoiled by Sister Zhao. She has never gone down the ground with us before, but she does look sturdy and eats a lot from snacks."
Lady Xue nodded. "When we get closer, we'll have to talk more. I'm still pointing at big sister Zhao and her little brother who are running and jumping around. Right now, I hope that our body will be stronger …"
Du Weizhao's face turned black! She doesn't want to take a child!
Other than his cousin and his younger brother, the guests were all happy.
Before he left, Wei Zhao took out a small basket filled with locust flowers. Xue Chao Yun looked at Wei Zhao and felt an inexplicable sense of goodwill towards this Du Family's elder cousin.
Wei Zhao Niang laughed. "There's nothing good at home, so don't mind it." In addition, he also sent him a basket of eggs and a basket of Chinese toon. In the farmhouse, this was considered a great gift.
"I'm not going to stand on ceremony with Cousin Zhao. Once we've found a place to stay, I'll take Cousin Zhao with me to play."
As if sensing his gaze, she gave him a friendly smile, and her eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. Unlike the gazes of those who thought that he looked like a girl, he was also like a pastry soaked in icing sugar, falling on his heart, which was very sweet.
After a moment's hesitation, he walked up to her, took out a string of obsidian beads from his pouch, and handed them to her.
Wei Zhao was surprised. He looked at him with his mouth wide open, then looked at his mother.
"Aiyo, brother, I thank you on behalf of your sister. These pearls are very precious, you should keep them well."
Seeing her son, who was usually tongue-tied, actually give away things of his own volition, Lady Xue began to ponder in her heart.
His mother had asked the High Monk to tell him the same thing, saying, "Be close to the Emperor, get hurt by red, and the yin energy is weak. If he can get away with this, he will definitely have good fortune." The monk had said that Yin Qi was weak, and the grandmother had said that it would be better to be a girl and make up for it. She had only stumbled until she was three years old, but she had not said a word, which had upset Lady Xue.
It was not easy to coax them into learning to speak, but they still refused to speak. One word was enough, and after that there would be no more. If he was even able to speak in such a manner, then there was no need to talk to others, much less to interact with others. If he was able to remain silent, then Lady Xue would occasionally hear someone say 'mute' or 'stutter', and she would misunderstand that the person who said that was her youngest son.
In the first month of this year, he was able to see the tall monk that was giving Ji Yin eight words, and asked the tall monk to point to Ji Xin and say, "Young master's yin energy is strong, you can no longer be a woman, but can go to the northeast of the imperial capital and live with the yang energy in your home." For those with Yang Qi, the essence will recuperate, and for those with gentleness, the tendons will be recuperated. " She could only go this far now. If she went too far, she would not be able to take care of things in time, and her eldest son would only enter when she was young. There were many relatives in the clan, so she was not worried about anything else, she was just worried that her daughter-in-law would be bullied at such a young age …
First, she came because of her youngest son. When she heard that Honored Scholar Qian was teaching here, she was overjoyed, because Honored Scholar Qian was the teacher of His Majesty. If her son succeeded in taking on a teacher, she could not say that he was His Majesty's junior brother.
Unexpectedly, her son had only gone to school for a day and she had already met her cousin from the Su family when she came to pick him up.
And now, Big Shuiyun actually took the initiative to give away something …
The black gold obsidian stone was very precious, but it was the first time that Ji Yunshu took the initiative to give away something, and Lady Xue decided to help her son out. She stepped forward, took the pearl, took Wei Zhao's small hand, and put it on her wrist, then said to Du Su Shi, "Cousin, please don't make a fuss. This pearl is only worth a few taels of silver, but it's a good item.
Lady Xue's words made the two audiences' hearts lurch. A few taels of silver was already enough for their family's living expenses for a year, not to mention that it was given out by a child.
Not to mention the Du Su Family, even Wei Zhao knew the difference between silver and copper coins. If Lady Xue said it wasn't worth a few coins, perhaps she would have accepted it, but they said it wasn't worth a few taels of silver.
Although he said this, his intentions were clear. If one wanted to listen in the opposite direction, it was definitely worth a few taels of silver. It might even be worth a dozen or twenty taels.
Wei Zhao glared at Xue Li Yun again, even if he meant well, at such an age, there should at least be some count of what he should give or give, right? For example, if she gave him some wild locust flowers, it would be a form of courtesy, but if she gave him a hen, it would be a waste!
Since it was Lady Xue who spoke, Wei Zhao pulled on her mother's hand, making it very clear that she didn't want it.
Du Su's wife wasn't stupid, she hurriedly took the beads, "This is a good item to keep me safe. I should wear it. Big sister Zhao's skin is so thick, if I fall down, I won't feel sorry for you."
Black gold obsidian is very rare in the market, and this string was even given to him during the New Year's meeting with his patron. She didn't see how much he cared, and in Lady Xue's heart, no matter how precious the item was, it couldn't compare to her son's. If it was given to a greedy person, Lady Xue naturally wouldn't give it away, but Lady Xue was still somewhat confident in her ability to deal with the Du Family.
When Du Su was still a little girl from the Su Clan, it wasn't that she hadn't gone to the Wang Clan with her grandmother. Lady Xue was the direct descendant of the Wang Clan and had seen many different kinds of people, but the Su Clan didn't know whether it was because they didn't want to curry favor or because they didn't want to curry favor with her. In short, they never thought much about taking advantage of the Wang Clan.
The two women pushed each other out of the way, causing Xue Qianyun to become impatient. He said in an unprecedented tone, "Cousin, you gave me the locust flowers. You should return the gesture."
Lady Xue couldn't help but be startled. Her eyes turned red. Her son had finally said one, two, three, four, five … Ten words, ten words, it was as the High Monk had said. Big Brother Yun had only been here for a few days, but he had already said a whole sentence, and he had even taken the initiative to say it. If he stayed here for another year or so, she would bring him back and have those people who said bad things take a look at him, and then wipe out their dirty thoughts as soon as possible.
Wei Zhao was also internal, this gift was too heavy. It was like giving you an egg, and you giving me a golden egg of the same size. Although it was all an egg, an egg was still different from an egg!
Lady Xue's attitude was firm, so Wei Zhao reluctantly accepted her in the end.
Many years later, Xue Qianyun took the beads and said, "You already took my token, so you should have married me!"
Wei Zhao said, "I only accepted it when you said it was in return." Besides, Lady Xue's eyes had been red at the time, and she had put on the air that she would cry if Wei Zhao didn't accept her. This was why Wei Zhao had accepted her.
Xue Yu smirked, "A gift in return? Why can't I remember? What did you give me, and how can I return this gift? "
Wei Zhao was speechless. If she dared to say that he had given him a basket of locust flowers, he would dare to ask where the locust flowers were. Wouldn't that give him an excuse to tease her? Besides, the Sophora Flower's return gift was a string of expensive beads. This was too ridiculous …
Mrs. Xue was not a person to be reckoned with, so when they arrived in Pingxian, before they found a good house, and with the official position in mind, he hurried back with Xue Qianyun in tow, leaving behind a few elderly family members to help them search for a house.
As soon as Lady Xue returned to the inn and sent Xue Qianyun to rest, she called her trusted housekeeper to ask about the matter of the house.
The butler explained a few things, but Lady Xue wasn't satisfied. She just listened to his introduction and didn't even have the intention of taking a look. "Let's look around a bit more."
The house in Ping County was not big, not to mention searching in the outskirts of the county, even in the county, it would not be easy to find a house that could satisfy his wife when compared to the Xue Manor in the capital, but he had no choice but to listen to his master's instructions.
On this trip, she had left her dowager with her eldest son and daughter-in-law, and had only brought four young girls with her. On this trip to the Du Family, she hadn't brought a single one, as one of them was very close to her. Furthermore, because Wei Zhao was a classmate of Zhao Yun, she didn't want to leave an impression of arrogance on anyone.
After the maidservants finished washing up for her, Lan Xiangxu sat on a small stool in front of the bed and began to massage her feet.
Without her confidante, Lady Xue could only quietly think about things.
