In the carriage.
Xie Suzhi brought all the delicious food to Shen Ningning.
"My godfather doesn't know what you like to eat, but when I asked my colleagues, they all said that little girls like sweet things."
"Here are pink meatballs, fried glutinous rice balls, red bean and glutinous rice cakes... You can see which one you like and eat whatever you want. My godfather will buy it for you next time."
Xie Suzhi looked at Shen Ningning with countless gentle smiles in his eyes.
The little person sat next to him, with two chubby little hands and a delicious sweet cake on each side, eating it happily.
"Thank you, godfather~" Shen Ningning said vaguely.
"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." He wiped the little one's mouth with his sleeve, showing no disdain. He also poured tea and put it to her lips, feeding it to her.
Seeing that Shen Ningning was eating happily, Xie Suzhi asked: "Ningning, is there a master who had trouble with you at the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
Shen Ningning shook her head: "Masters are all very good. Godfather, I was assigned to the Huangzi class today. Master Han has a free and easy personality."
"He is like the legendary hero in the martial arts world. He is informal and gives good lectures. I like him very much."
Xie Suzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Then why did you say just now that Caiying got scolded for you?"
As soon as these words came out, the little guy fell silent.
Her cheeks were bulging, and she was biting into a fried glutinous rice ball, savoring the sweet taste.
"Godfather, I'm going to school the day after tomorrow. I want to take my maid with me."
In fact, Shen Ningning is no longer the innocent child she was before.
She had experienced malice, and Aunt Qin's family, as well as Wei Yufu, had all taught her a lesson.
It is they who make the little guy understand that not everyone’s words in this world are kind.
And Shen Ningning is so smart. Caiying's provocations may not be obvious enough.
But three or four times, the little guy noticed it.
Ever since she was never allowed to write "Happy Journey", Shen Ningning knew that Caiying didn't like her being too good.
The little guy was not sad at all.
After all, Caiying is not her maid, so it is reasonable to treat her badly.
However, Shen Ningning must teach her a small lesson. Today at Master Han's, Caiying was frightened, and she will probably not stir up trouble again in the future.
When Xie Suzhi heard what she said, he pondered for a moment and had a guess in his mind: "Is it Caiying who makes you dissatisfied?"
Shen Ningning nodded, then shook her head.
She didn't want to continue talking about this, because the little guy felt that Caiying was Caiying, and thanking Yuanjiu for lending her was a good intention.
If she keeps talking, she will become the one who stirs up trouble!
Therefore, she took the initiative to pick up the small glutinous rice balls on the table and handed them to Prime Minister Xie's mouth: "Godfather, you eat."
Xie Suzhi immediately laughed and took a bite of the dumpling: "It's so sweet."
Unexpectedly, four years after losing my daughter, I would be able to taste food fed by her own hands.
This was a dream that I never dared to dream about before.
Xie Suzhi's eyes turned cold when he thought about how difficult it was for his daughter to come back.
After returning home, the housekeeper waited at the door with a group of maids and maids.
Xie Suzhi handed Shen Ningning to them: "Let the servants take you to wash your hands first, and then go to your eldest brother's yard to see what good things he is giving you."
"Godfather, go change your clothes and will come to have dinner with Ning Ning shortly."
Shen Ningning said yes immediately, with a smile on her face, and Li Duo followed the servants into the house.
After she left, Xie Suzhi called the secret guard with a cold face.
"Go and find out what kind of trouble Caiying caused in the Chinese Academy of Sciences today."
"Yes." The secret guard took the order and disappeared in an instant.
Xie Suzhi prepared a courtyard for Shen Ningning to live in.
In the future, when she doesn't go back to Langshan, she can stay at Xie's house.
The small courtyard is close to the mistress's courtyard. There is a two-story building in the courtyard, surrounded by flowers.
There is a circle of green bamboo planted in the southwest corner. At this time, it is green and quiet, not affected by autumn at all.
Shen Ningning was on the second floor. She pushed open the window with her little hand and looked outside.
Most of the Prime Minister's Mansion is in full view, including the interlaced pavilions and pavilions, the green buildings with brand-new colors, and the patches of black tiles.
It all shows the wealth and high status of Xie Mansion.
The little guy heard the sound of wood being cut.
She followed the sound curiously and saw Xie Mingxu cutting wood through a hanging flower door.
"It's brother~" The little guy smiled and ran out of the yard in his direction.
When I rushed to where Xie Mingxu was, I saw sawdust all around his feet and a lot of it on his body.
And he was polishing a slender wooden board in his hand.
"Brother! What are you doing?" Shen Ningning opened her eyes curiously.
Xie Mingxu raised his head, his cool and calm temperament hidden in his dark brows.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled lightly: "I'll make you a small cart."
Shen Ningning walked closer with little feet and tilted her head curiously: "Push cart?"
Xie Mingxu's strong arms polished the smooth wooden board back and forth, and then painted it.
"You have too many books. Even if there are more maids to help, I'm afraid it will be troublesome for you to get them." He considered that she had to go back to Langshan.
He has been to the terrain on the mountain before.
"So, make a cart with wheels that you can pull around. It can go anywhere and it's not heavy."
After Xie Mingxu finished speaking, Shen Ningning felt pleasantly surprised and squatted down to look at her trolley carefully.
The best yellow pear wood is first cut into pieces.
Xie Mingxu then polished it himself and made four small wheels according to the principle of a four-wheeled vehicle for easy towing.
The cart's body is polished into a half-meter-long rectangle and uses a mortise-and-tenon structure, which is very strong.
Xie Mingxu put in the push-pull handle and it was completely finished.
He reached out his hand, picked up the little guy, and placed him in the bed of the car.
"Come on, brother, let's hold you and let's try it together."
Shen Ningning's eyes lit up with dark surprise: "Okay!"
Xie Mingxu pulled her and walked forward slowly, and the car body slid along with it.
"Wow~" The little guy was extremely happy: "Brother, this looks like an open carriage."
Xie Mingxu chuckled: "Little guy, that's a pretty good description."
Shen Ningning closed her eyes, opened her little hands, and felt the autumn wind gently brushing her cheeks.
The bamboo forest not far away made the sound of swaying leaves, but it gave rise to a sense of complete silence and tranquility.
Shen Ningning opened her eyes and said happily: "Brother, you can sit up and give it a try. I'll push you."
Xie Mingxu smiled: "I'm afraid it will get crushed if I sit on it."
"Why? Brother did this to load my books. My books are also very heavy."
"Such a big cart can hold books, but can't it hold a brother?"
Before Xie Mingxu could answer, Shen Ningning thought of the answer on her own.
Her eyes lit up: "I know, because the books are filled with knowledge, and my brother's body contains not only knowledge, but also martial arts!"
Children's words sound very playful, but they also make sense.
Xie Mingxu laughed loudly. He bent down and scraped Shen Ningning's little nose twice.
"You're such a cute little guy." After saying that, he took Shen Ningning out.
Coincidentally, Xie Mingxu arranged for the entourage to pick up the ink and return it.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"The cart is ready, but you are a girl. I will draw some patterns for you so that it doesn't look monotonous." Xie Mingxu considered everything.
He is a man, no matter what, keep it simple.
But my sister is a girl, so she wants the best in everything, including skirts of various colors, and pearls and hairpins.
Even this pull-and-go cart needs to look better.
Shen Ningning thought this method was very novel, so she rolled up her sleeves.
"Then let me help brother, I also want to draw."
"Okay, then you draw the left side and I'll draw the right side." Xie Mingxu handed her a brush and ink.
The ink brought by the servant has four colors: cinnabar red, distant mountain green, deep black ink, and full purple.
Shen Ningning thought for a moment, then dipped her pen into the green mountains, sat on the ground, and concentrated on painting.
