Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 32 Talent
Xiao Huaisu adjusted the hem of the skirt, and then came forward to bow to Wang Yingying, "Auntie is only thinking about Huai Su, and Huai Su has long been grateful." There were tears in his raised eyes, "This Along the way, you have cared for me like a mother, Huai Su..." His words were choked with sobs.

"Good boy, don't say anything!"

Wang pulled Xiao Huaisu into her arms distressedly, and patted her on the shoulder lightly, "Why are we still talking about this, my aunt will only treat you better in the future, here it is the same as at home, don't be with me Cousins ​​and sisters are separated, we are all your closest relatives!"

As he spoke, he glanced slightly at Du Yanyun's side.

She also heard the news that Duke Jing's son gave Xiao Huaisu a gift that day, and Du Yanyun was a little puzzled, so she explained her daughter's puzzles one by one.

On the way they walked together, Gu Qingyang valued Xiao Huaisu somewhat, but it was only limited to his elder brother's liking for his younger sister. After all, at such a age, there was nothing between the two of them. Perhaps there was also a trace of sympathy for her mother's death when she was young. And pity, this is nothing.

In this way, Du Yanyun can take it easy, after all, he and Gu Qingyang haven't said anything, but Wang Shi mentioned it, so who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

The days are still long!
Xiao Huaisu was still young, so this box was temporarily stored in Mrs. Du's room.

Wang told Xiao Huaisu one by one what the dowry included, how many shops there were, how many villages there were, what accompanying houses were available for his subordinates, and what was the annual profit.

It looked like it was meant for Xiao Huaisu, but it actually fell into the ears of Mrs. Du. With her in charge, nothing could go wrong. It also showed that Wang's mind was open and open, and he had nothing to hide.

They chattered for quite a while, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a good time, even Xiao Huaisu smiled a little more on her face. With such a large amount of wealth, she might really have nothing to worry about in the future.

This year's festival of the Du family is not cold, but it is definitely not lively. After all, the second aunt's wife, Du Boshu, passed away not long ago. Even with the addition of Xiao Huaisu's pistachio, everyone is still relieved and sad.

Sitting together for the New Year's Eve dinner, several children paid New Year's greetings to the elders one by one, begging for red envelopes, which pushed the atmosphere a little further.

Xiao Huaisu and Du Yanyu were still young, Mrs. Du didn't let them watch the New Year's Eve, and after playing around for a while, they each sent them back to rest.

Nested in the quilt, listening to the sound of snow falling outside, Xiao Huaisu couldn't help turning his body slightly, and closed his eyes.

Even though there are always people setting off firecrackers on this Dali Street, the location of Du Mansion is excellent, and the people living on this street are either rich or noble. With the slightest sound, she fell into a deep sleep this time.

In the early morning of the second day, Du Yanyun and Du Yanyu dragged her out of the bed.

The children took care of Mrs. Du and went to play in the snow with them. The snow last night was not too heavy, but a layer was laid on the ground. The servants cleaned the stone paths passing by. , the rest is up to it.

When Xiao Huaisu was taken into the garden by Du Yanyu, Du Yanyi had already built a big snowman, and was thinking about what to decorate the eyes and nose of the snowman.

Du Yanyu cheered and rushed forward.

Du Yanyun stood beside her slowly. She was wearing a brand-new magenta makeup flower hibiscus jacket, a silver-red cape, and a white fox fur around the collar. Against her fair skin, she was full of youthful beauty. .

Du Yanyun stood still at the side, and seeing Xiao Huaisu not moving, she couldn't help being curious, "What's the matter? Cousin doesn't want to play in the snow?" It seems that there is no child who doesn't like to play in the snow, even Du Yanyi is no exception.

Xiao Huaisu stuck out his tongue with a smile, "I'm afraid of the cold, why doesn't Second Cousin go?" He also glanced at Du Yanyun's clothes today, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "Second Cousin must be afraid of getting this beautiful dress wet, It's good for us to stand aside and watch!"

Du Yanyun's cheeks were slightly red, and he smiled and gave Xiao Huaisu a look, "You're the only one who can tell!" He snorted again, "It's just a suit of clothes, just change it when it's wet." As he spoke, he stepped forward and rubbed the snow The ball was thrown towards Du Yanyi.

But obviously Du Yanyun's strength was a bit weak, the snow ball landed on the ground a foot away from Du Yanyi, although he missed the throw, but in exchange for the opponent's counterattack, the children ran away in the garden immediately, sharp There were shouts and laughter one after another.

Xiao Huaisu giggled, she didn't want to be involved after all, she backed away slowly, and finally found a low place to stay, where she could see others with her head up, but people couldn't see her when she lowered her head .

Qiu Ling followed Xiao Huaisu all the time, and made a gesture of squatting a little lower, she couldn't help but whispered: "Miss Biao, what are we going to do?"

Xiao Huaisu smiled, "Stay away from the battlefield, so as not to harm the fish in the pond!"

Qiu Ling's heart moved, "Miss Biao has already learned Chinese characters?" I'm afraid such a young child has not yet enlightened, but he can speak idioms clearly.

Xiao Huaisu was startled, a smile flickered on the corner of his lips, and he nodded slowly, "My mother read some casually before, so I remembered..."

It was only then that Qiu Ling realized that the second aunt was gone now, so there was no place to verify this matter. Since she just read it casually, it was not considered enlightenment.

Xiao Huaisu looked left and right, picked up the dead branches beside him and drew on the snow.

In the past, her grandfather was a master of calligraphy, and his painting skills were naturally not behind others. He loved to catch her to draw a few strokes when he was free.

Grandpa once said that she is very talented, but she just doesn't pay attention to learning things. If she is really interested, she will not worry about no results if she puts her heart into it. Of course, she has always been like this in her career, until...

Xiao Huaisu shook her head, and put the past out of her mind. She tried not to think about everything in the past, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was like a dream, and she couldn't tell what was real.

But looking at the simple outline of the plane figure on the snow, Xiao Huaisu suddenly became excited, and hurriedly smashed it up again.

"The one just now was..." Qiu Ling muttered at the side, and said with some hesitation, "Miss Biao drew a bird? But it doesn't look like..."

Xiao Huaisu turned his head to look at Qiu Ling, and smiled cheerfully, "In just a short while, you have sharp eyes."

"As servants, we naturally have to have good ears and eyes, otherwise how can we solve the master's worries?"

Ever since the two of them had a close relationship that day, although Qiu Ling still looked calm and reticent in front of others, she was still able to say a few more words to Xiao Huaisu.

Xiao Huaisu smiled and didn't say anything else. Instead, he straightened up and took a look at the Du brothers and sisters. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and he outlined the human figure with a few strokes. Due to the strength of his wrist, the human figure was slightly immature. But it is not easy for others to know what she is painting at a glance.
