A few days passed by, and the Xiao family compound passed in tranquility. Xiao Ming lived an ordinary life day after day, and even enjoyed it.
After the incident with Aunt Yan last time, Mrs. Xu sent someone to ask Xiao Ming to check her pulse, but she refused with excuses. She really didn't want to face Mrs. Xu's hypocritical face again.
As the days pass, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the smell of winter is getting stronger.
In a blink of an eye, Laba is approaching, Qingshan Temple has already closed its doors, and all the teachers and masters have returned home to celebrate the New Year with their generous gifts.
Winter is always a season of farewell, and there is always some sadness; early in the morning, people were already crowding outside the Xiao family mansion, and five carriages were lined up in order, waiting.
They just saw off Mr. Lu Tong yesterday, but today they are sending off Chen Yuanze here.
"Sister." Before parting again, Chen Yuanze called Xiao Ming aggrievedly. He had lived in Xiao Ming for half a year. He was already familiar with this place and regarded it as his own home. He was even more comfortable here than at his own home. Randomly, he grew taller and stronger, but the only thing that remained unchanged was his attachment to Xiao Ming.
"Hey! Be obedient when you go home, study hard, and write to me if you have anything." Xiao Mingqiang comforted her with a smile. After being together for so long, she has a person who calls her sister anytime, anywhere, respects her, and is attached to her. She really couldn't bear to leave like this.
Chen Yuanze is just like Xiao Han, he is her younger brother.
The Chen family has developed rapidly in the past six months. Chen Yuanze's father was promoted to second assistant, and Mrs. Chen moved her family north. She has sent several letters urging Chen Yuanze to go to Beijing to reunite with his family; Chen Yuanze refused again and again on the grounds of studying. Going to Beijing, this time the guards sent by the Chen family had stayed at the Xiao family for more than half a month before they finally convinced Chen Yuanze to agree to go home.
Chen Yuanze's departure this time was not to return to the Chen family in Chun, but to go north to the capital.
Both Xiao Ming, Xiao Han and Chen Yuanze knew that this time they would never see each other again.
"Be filial to your elders, deal with things calmly, and think twice before acting." Xiao Ming advised. As for not causing trouble, she didn't mention it. It was impossible for Chen Yuanze to be honest and not cause trouble. This dandy young master simply couldn't He's not that kind of person. She's just worried that his impulsiveness is being taken advantage of without him realizing it.
"I know." Chen Yuanze nodded and listened to whatever Xiao Ming said. Chen Yuanze said goodbye to Xiao Han, Xiao Yu and the others again, and held Maomao in his arms again and refused to let go.
Poor Maomao was almost mad at him and dared not speak out in anger.
"Maomao, how about you follow me to the capital and eat big fish and meat every day?"
"Roar!" He refused angrily, swinging his mountain-like body and staggering Chen Yuanze who was caught off guard.
"It's really delicious every day. Build a big house and show off your prestige at any time." Chen Yuanze persisted in persuading him. He was afraid that showing off his prestige was his main purpose. Just imagine that with such a big dog, it would definitely look pretentious when taken out. And invincible.
Beier has face.
Xiao Ming..., haha, I want to remind you that Maomao cannot be bought with big fish and meat, and you can't afford to feed it!
"Maomao is mine, you can't take it away." Xiao Yu quickly declared his sovereignty, his cheeks bulging like steamed buns.
"It belongs to all of us." The stubborn Chen Yuanze was online and started arguing with Xiao Yu about Maomao's ownership. The sad atmosphere of farewell created just a moment ago was gone.
"Brother Jiang, I have to trouble you to make a trip in person this time." Xiao Ming was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Yuanze, a fool, and said to Jiang Sihai. For Chen Yuanze's safety along the way, she specially invited Jiang Sihai to escort her. She only relied on the Chen family She was worried.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiao, Mr. Chen will be sent to the capital safely." Jiang Sihai nodded and looked away unconsciously.
Xiao Ming has long been accustomed to Jiang Sihai's stubborn behavior. No need to look, it must be in the direction of Yueniang. With Yueniang around, Jiang Sihai's emotional intelligence is on the line and his rationality is off.
I don’t know when Yueniang will be moved by this thousand-year-old heartless stone.
Xiao Ming negotiated a few words with the leader of the Chen family's guard. The guard leader, who was about forty years old, was extremely polite to Xiao Ming, a little girl, without any contempt. Perhaps he had been warned by the Chen family when he came here. Perhaps it was because of Chen Yuanze's different attitude towards Xiao Ming.
"Doctor Xiao, please rest assured that my subordinates will protect the young master to the death." The guard leader said swornly.
Although Chen Yuanze was reluctant to leave, he could not resist the urging of his followers and guards, and finally boarded the carriage and traveled away.
The carriage went further and further away, getting smaller and smaller, until it disappeared. Xiao Ming withdrew his gaze and said to Xiao Han, Xiao Yu and the others: "Let's go home."
"Sister, where did the godmother ask us to go? She made clothes for us." Xiao Han said, pulling Xiao Ming to the Song family's yard.
"Making clothes, why?" Xiao Ming was puzzled. Didn't he just make clothes? Why are you making clothes again?
"The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month is our birthday, you forgot." Xiao Han said, looking at her sister curiously. Their birthday happened to be two days after the Laba Festival, on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
"Ah!" Xiao Ming was shocked. She didn't forget their birthday, but she really didn't know it. In her previous life, she stopped celebrating birthdays after her grandfather died. When she heard Xiao Han talk about birthdays, she was really taken aback. Startled.
"Yes! It's my thirteenth birthday." Xiao Han said happily, happy for his birthday.
"Yes, thirteen years old." Xiao Ming nodded, feeling a strange feeling in her heart, and led Xiao Yu forward calmly.
When they arrived at Song's yard, Song took out the new clothes that they had prepared a long time ago. Xiao Han hugged the clothes and happily left the room. He also took his male compatriot Xiao Yu away. He went back to the room to try them on. Xiao Ming stayed in Song's house and tried it on.
When Xiao Ming walked out, Yi's mother and Song's mother and daughter were stunned. It was true that they were born with such beauty that it's hard to give up.
They have always known that Xiao Ming likes to wear plain and simple clothes, so the new set of clothes prepared by Song is mainly simple, using two plain colors of green and white, with white as the main color and green as the supplement. Song's tailoring, Mother Yi embroidered fine patterns on it with her own hands and embellished it with tiny pearls. Although the whole dress looks simple and plain, it is also low-key and luxurious.
Mother Yi is no ordinary person when she takes action.
"These roses are so beautiful, each one seems to be alive. Mother Yi's craftsmanship is so good." Yueniang said, stroking the petals. The texture of each petal on it was clear and clear, as if it were alive, and every line was Mother Yi embroidered it herself, and only Mother Yi could embroider such a brilliant pattern.
She asked herself that she couldn't do it.
Nowadays, Mother Yi is in charge of all the affairs of the Xiao family and is very busy, but she still takes time out of her busy schedule to embroider new clothes for Xiao Ming and her brother. Only three people in the Xiao family can be treated like this and wear Mother Yi's clothes. new clothes.
"It's too precious." Xiao Ming said, it was too beautiful. Her heart was throbbing inexplicably, with indescribable emotions. She hadn't received a birthday gift in many years. After being reborn here, she never paid attention to her birthday. She didn't seem to know such a thing or when Xiao Yu's birthday was.
