C6 (1/2)
Her mother was talking to a well-dressed woman.
As the saying goes, if you don't mind mother's ugliness, when you come to Wei Zhao, no matter how ugly you are, I will still be alone. No one is allowed to snatch it away from me.
Therefore, this little girl strutted her short legs and gallantly ran to her mother, shouting, ”Mother!”
When Wei Zhao Niang saw this, the smile on her face immediately widened. She pulled Wei Zhao over and said to the woman in front of her, ”This is my sister. Her name is Wei Zhao.”
He took Wei Zhao's hand and said to her, ”This is from your grandma's house. You have to call her Auntie Cousin.”
Wei Zhao's maternal grandma had long since lost her family. This aunt was most likely the aunt of his distant cousin. Wei Zhao smiled at his cousin. ”Greetings, aunt!”
The woman sounded straightforward as she took a closer look at Wei Zhao and said, ”Cousin Zhao sure is blessed. Sister Zhao looks like a good person, but I heard that her knowledge is top-notch …” After praising Wei Zhao for a while.
Wei Zhao had understood a long time ago that it was better to listen to a person's words than to listen to a person's actions. Even if he tried to coax her, she would say that if someone praised her and she was half dead from happiness, wouldn't she be able to make herself die of happiness?
His aunt praised him so much that Wei Zhao Niang's eyes narrowed. Wei Zhao, on the other hand, had a clear look in his eyes. He stood in front of her, smiling like a child.
”I'm not as good as Cousin, though. The eldest in the family is fine, but the second in the family is a vile creature who was born to torment me. When I was growing up, I drank medicine that contained a few sacks …” ”It wasn't easy for me to get a grand master to figure out the reason, and say that he was altruistic in the northeast, and then bring him over to our place. Although he's not as good as the capital, at least he's a bit closer … I didn't expect that I would actually meet my cousin. It can be seen that our fates really lead us a thousand miles to meet.”
Wei Zhao was a bit impatient listening. Learning was like her father slaughtering pigs — he would be hungry all morning. Just as he was about to signal to her, he heard a voice from behind him, ”Mother!”
She curiously turned her head to look and silently cursed in her heart. So the new classmate was her aunt's evil creature!
Lady Xue quickly took out her handkerchief and squatted down, wiping away the sweat that didn't exist. ”Are you tired after school? Are you hungry?”
How kind her aunt was to her family!
After asking her son, Lady Xue remembered to introduce her to Wei Zhao Niang. She then said, ”Cousin, this is my son. Qianyun, hurry up and call me aunt.”
”Auntie.”
Wei Zhao Niang responded with a smile.
Lady Xue looked at Wei Zhao, probably wanting to get on good terms with the two of them. She then said to Xue Qianyun, ”Qianyun, this is your aunt's daughter. Eh, Cousin Zhao, how old is she this year?”
”Our sister was born in September. By September of this year, she will be five years old.”
”What a coincidence. Big Yun is five years old in the middle of September.”
Surprisingly, they were actually in the same year and month, so Wei Zhao Niang simply said, ”She's in the ninth day of the ninth month. What about your brother?”
Lady Xue covered her mouth and smiled, ”Qianyun is in the tenth rank, looks like I have to call him Cousin Sis!”
Two parties:
Wei Zhao: Tsk, who cares! I want to eat!
Xue Chaoyun: So boring.
After the two families said their farewells, Lady Xue once again set a time to pay a visit. ”We haven't found a place to stay yet. We'll stay in the inn for the time being.”
”It's not convenient to stay at an inn. If you don't mind, you can stay at our place. The mansion is a big issue, so it won't be too late to search for it.”
”There's a lot of people in the family. There's also a messy few carriages full of gifts. If we go to elder cousin's house, I'm afraid we'll all have to sleep standing up.”
Wei Zhao Niang smiled. She understood the meaning behind Lady Xue's words, but she didn't care about it. To her, her daughter Wei Zhao was better than the whole world.
Wei Zhao was unconvinced and glared at his new cousin.
It just so happened that Xue Qianyun was looking over as well (not at the same height, but at the same time at the same time). Xue Qianyun was about to smile politely when he saw Cousin Cousin staring at him with her black eyes like the darkest and brightest obsidian. He remembered that he had received a bunch of these beads one year, but they were still not as bright as her eyes and were not as bright as her eyes.
Lady Xue solemnly took her leave, holding her son's hand as she prepared to leave. When her son didn't move, she looked down and was amused. ”Look at this child. She's just a fool to look at her cousin.”
Wei Zhao's heart twitched. How was that a fool? He'd obviously been scared silly by her, alright!
Wei Zhao followed behind her, handing her a cloth and a broom. The two of them worked hard for four hours before they were satisfied with the amount of work they had done. When Wei Zhao saw his mother's face was covered in sweat, he said to her mother, ”Mother, why did you call them over to our house?”
”Mother is too polite. Look at how well-dressed they are, and besides, I heard that your cousin's family is rich, so I thought that anyone with eyes would not come and stay.”
”I won't, but it's annoying to be a guest.” Wei Zhao liked relatives who were on equal terms with each other. For someone as proud as Lady Xue, although she was young and could not tell the specific feelings, she was still annoyed.
