Chapter 442 Dressing up

Jiaojiao's reaction to Mother was a little strange, but she still took a serious look.

Niang probably just woke up, wearing a simple and elegant apricot-colored shirt, a little wrinkled, and only a jade hairpin to fix her hair. There are no accessories on her ears and neck, but her skin is fair and her body is rich and generous.

Jiaojiao patted the wrinkled place for Mother, and said: "Mother is dressed a little plainly, but the whole is simple and elegant."

Liu Zhihua looked down at her dress again, raised her hand to touch her face before realizing it, woke up before wiping her face, and hurriedly said: "Oh, no, mother will go back to the room first."

"Ah," Jiaojiao watched her mother run away, and scratched her chin in confusion, what's wrong with her mother.

Jiaojiao looked around the room, she seemed to be unable to hear her father's voice, she walked towards the room, only to meet Rong Yan walking out the door.

The candied haws in Jiaojiao's hand almost rubbed against someone's clothes, and brother Yan was the only one. She tiptoed to look behind, and asked in a low voice, "Where is my father?"

Rong Yan heard that his head was a little dizzy, so he said softly: "Uncle fell asleep, I was helped to rest on the inner couch."

Jiaojiao's eyes were slightly rounded, and then she looked at Brother Yan, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Rong Yan saw the little girl smiling, and helplessly tapped her forehead with his fingers, and asked indulgently: "Silly girl, should you make fun of me or your father?"

Jiaojiao immediately said: "Of course I won't laugh at my father, but I will laugh at you."

Rong Yan looked helpless, "Oh~"

Suddenly, he bent down and took a bite of the candied haws in the little girl's hand, then walked out the door.

Jiaojiao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately turned her head to follow.

Rong Yan heard the footsteps behind him, the corners of his mouth turned up, his hands were put behind his back, and he chewed the sweet and greasy hawthorn in his mouth.

"Hey,"

Jiaojiao yelled before she could speak.

Rong Yanquan probably didn't hear it, but his pace slowed down a bit.

Jiaojiao thought he was angry, so she quickened her pace and circled in front of him, handed him the bunch of candied haws he bit into, and said softly, "Here, here you go."

Rong Yan raised his eyebrows, took it with the corner of his mouth raised, and said: "Mm, thank you."

Jiaojiao picked up the other string and put it to her mouth, opened her mouth to bite one, and said bulgingly: "Brother Yan did well today, my father likes you so much."

"Well, it's mainly because uncle is sensible." Rong Yan replied with a smile.

Jiaojiao glanced at him, thinking that Brother Yan was also very good at flattering.

Thinking of her mother coming over in a while, Jiaojiao didn't ask any questions, but said to others: "Brother Yan, go home earlier, grandma must be waiting for you to eat, daddy probably won't wake up for a while, change it Come back someday when you are free."

Rong Yan rubbed her head, nodded and said, "Yes, good."

Today, I have been staying for a long time, and I have to go to Jiaocheng after lunch. There has been a change in the past two days. The hidden guard found the hiding traces of Princess Shengyuan there this morning. He is going to go there in person. That's why Prince Gong sought him out in the morning.

After seeing her off, Jiaojiao went back to see her father, then went to the study to say hello to brother Wei Qing and the others.

When Liu Zhihua arrived dressed up, there was only Wang Zhuangzhi who was sleeping soundly in the front hall. She searched around but did not see the national teacher.

"Jiaojiao?"

Liu Zhihua shouted.

The servant girl at the door ran in and said, "Madam Qi, Miss has gone to the study of the young master."

Liu Zhihua was taken aback for a moment, thinking that they had gone to the study to talk, so she ordered: "Go and ask the kitchen to prepare more delicate dishes."

"Yes." The maid hurriedly nodded.

Liu Zhihua couldn't wake up from shouting at the head of the house, and smelled the faint smell of alcohol, and immediately hit him angrily, cursing: "Oh, you don't worry, you have learned to drink secretly!"

"Ho-huh-" Wang Zhuangzhi slept soundly, snoring very loudly.

Liu Zhi stood up in a rage, and simply ignored him. I'm going to go to Qiusheng's study to see what's going on. Isn't Qiusheng the national teacher that I don't want to see? What are you going to do in the study?

Liu Zhihua walked outside while thinking, and when she was about to reach Qiusheng's yard, she saw Baoya and Aqin coming back.

"Why is Aqin here and not serving Jiaojiao?" Liu Zhihua asked.

Aqin hurriedly said with a smile: "The slave just happened to meet the second young lady, so she helped carry the things."

Liu Zhihua nodded, and she didn't worry about it, but looked at her daughter: "Bao Ya, you must be tired from running this trip. If you are tired, go back to the house and have a rest. I will eat in a while."

Liu Zhihua took out her handkerchief and stepped forward, wiping the sweat from her daughter's forehead.

Baoya smiled and shook his head, seeing that you are very beautifully dressed today, he circled his mother and replied: "Mother is so beautifully dressed today, how can I be tired from driving in a carriage, it's because I was sweating in the sun just now. .”

Liu Zhihua smiled, saw the maidservant behind her daughter carrying those boxes, and said with a smile: "You child, why are you carrying these big and small buns to the backyard? Pick."

Bao Ya shook her head, and said with a puzzled look: "Mother, I didn't buy this, it was sent by the national teacher. The housekeeper carried it into the backyard for better use. There are still some left outside, so I asked the maid to carry it to the backyard. "

Liu Zhihua was stunned, it turned out that Rong Yan gave it to her. Originally thinking that he had ignored her a few days ago, she wondered if he had given up on Jiaojiao, and she didn't report any good ideas when she came to the door today.

But he didn't expect to send such a lot of things, and he felt a little relieved when he was surprised.

Liu Zhihua instructed Baoya in a low voice: "The National Teacher is still in your eldest brother's room, so don't move all of them back to the backyard. People will think we are going to receive gifts from poles."

Bao Ya was even more confused. On the way back just now, she encountered the carriage of the national teacher, how could she still be in the elder brother's room?

She reminded in a low voice: "Mother, did you misunderstand something, the national teacher has left just now."

The smile on the corner of Liu Zhihua's mouth paused, and she hurriedly said: "You girl, I just heard Jiaojiao say that you are here."

"I met the national teacher on the road just now, and they all went home." Bao Ya also said helplessly.

Liu Zhihua saw that her daughter did not seem to be lying, she suddenly looked like a discouraged ball, and muttered: "He also said that he knows how to behave, why did he leave without saying hello, our family is chased by wolves."

Baoya just came back and didn't know what happened here, but the national teacher should not be that kind of person, so he comforted him: "Didn't you say that Jiaojiao is with the elder brother? Otherwise, go and ask Jiaojiao, maybe someone has something I left in a hurry, the national teacher is helping the emperor to deal with state affairs at the moment, and it is understandable that he is busy with official duties."

Liu Zhihua choked when he heard it, but it was true, this national teacher was young and had more than 10,000 people, and Qiu Sheng was very busy when he was promoted, and a senior official like him was probably even busier.

Alas, forget it.

It's not bad to be able to come home and bring gifts when you have time, people, you can't ask too much, there are no such perfect people in the world.

"Originally, I had to go to meet someone at your elder brother's place. Since the person has already left, I won't go."

Liu Zhihua sighed after finishing speaking, and went back to the house in vain after a lot of tossing and tiring. She would have worn the original clothes if she knew it earlier.

Bao Ya also realized that the reason why the mother dressed up was because the national teacher came, and she was still a little curious. Didn’t the mother not like people, how did she dress up herself?

Just at this moment, Qiu Sheng, Wei Qing and his party came out.

Seeing Mother and Bao Ya standing at the door, Wei Qing and the others greeted politely, Qiu Sheng led the little girl closer and asked, "Mother, why are you standing at the door?"
