C7 (2/2)

The two lords chatted affectionately for many years. Madame Wei Zhao learned a lot about their families from Lady Xue, and Lady Xue roughly asked her about everything that happened in Ping County.

She was sitting behind her mother with a jade pendant in her hand, but her mind was elsewhere. The sun was shining down on her face, making her look like a little jade person, except that this little jade person was only a day older than her, but also a lot taller.

There were a lot of fruits for the guests to eat, so Wei Zhaoniang gave way to him once. Seeing that Xue Chaoyun wasn't going to eat, she didn't force him and asked him in detail about his body. Lady Xue smiled and gave him a perfunctory reply.

The two of them spoke for more than half an hour, and the scene became lively and lively. However, the children remained silent.

As a guest, Lady Xue naturally couldn't send her son out to play. Furthermore, she wasn't completely at ease since no one was looking after him.

Wei Zhao Niang thought for a while. ”Brother, can I eat Chinese toon?” There are more than a dozen toon trees planted at the back of our yard. They're not tall, but they're good for picking now. How about you take your younger brother to pick toons? ”

Mrs. Xue answered for Xue Qianyun, then called the woman who was driving the carriage to give them a hand. In fact, she was just looking at the two children.

”Sister Zhao, after you've plucked the toon, look for the eggs. If that's all right, go pick them up. Remember not to let your younger brother pick them up. He hasn't picked them up before, so tell the hens to peck at his hands.”

Wei Zhao complied. She stood up, and Xue Qianyun also stood up. Du Weizhao looked at his new cousin and took the initiative to extend his hand, ”Let me hold you.”

Shay Yun's slightly cold hands fell on a small stove. Neither of them noticed the shocked Lady Xue behind them.

There was no house in the Du Family's backyard. Apart from the toon tree, there were also a lot of vegetables. In the northwest corner, there was a chicken coop. Two or three hens were inside, which was quite neat and tidy.

Xue saw that Wei Zhao had found a piece of coarse cloth from a basket on the wall and put it on. He also took a cloth bag with a rope attached to it, which he wore over his head so that he wouldn't have to hold the bag.

Wei Zhao stomped on the chair and climbed up, picking up some tender sprouts and putting them in the bag in front of his chest.

When she finished demonstrating, she saw Xue Qianyun standing off to the side looking at her with a ”dry” expression, so she asked tentatively, ”Do you want to try it?”

He had never done this before. He had been sick and weak since he was young, and the food in his family was only fed to his mouth after he chewed it. Where did he go up on a tree?

He moved a bit and still didn't say anything. Wei Zhao continued, ”You picked it especially delicious.” She was willing to coax her parents, and at most, she would add another teacher. She had never coaxed anyone else, and as for this cousin of hers who was only one day younger than her, she didn't want him to feel too cold.

The woman who was driving the carriage nimbly ran over, squatted down and said to Xue Chaoyun, ”If young master wants to pick it, why don't I carry you?”

Wei Zhao maintained his smile and didn't even move his eyebrows.

Xue Ning Yun looked at her again, then nodded, ”I'll pick it myself.”

Wei Zhao nodded. ”Alright, I'll trouble auntie to hold on to the stool so that her cousin won't fall down. I'll go pick up the eggs.” The stool was also a wooden block and not too tall. Wei Zhao wasn't worried at all. If he couldn't even do this properly, then she would have to keep her distance from him in the future.

Before Wei Zhao could turn around, he heard Big Cloud calling out to his cousin.

”What's wrong?”

She pointed to the bag on her chest.

Wei Zhao laughed. ”You want this?” As he spoke, he took out all of the Chinese toon sprouts and placed them in the small basket.

The old woman saw the situation and said, ”Young Miss might as well lend the outer garment to our Young Master for his use.”

Wei Zhao nodded and was about to untie it, but he stopped himself, ”No need.”

”It's enough if you pick more.” Wei Zhao said to him, and Zhanyun nodded to show that he understood.

The hen at home recognized Wei Zhao, and when she saw him walk over, she took the initiative to move her butt, revealing three eggs.

The other two hens were also clucking around.

Wei Zhao said in a low voice, ”Got it. You guys were part of it, but it didn't lay three eggs of its own. Shhh, stop being so noisy. There's a guest today.”

Standing on the wooden block to pick the toon, the corner of Xue Qianyun's mouth curled up.

Wei Zhao picked up the eggs and carefully put them in his front pocket. Seeing her walk over, Xue Qianyun also stopped picking them up.

The Du Family had never had a boy, so Wei Zhao found it difficult to coax such a creature like his younger brother. She walked up to him and showed him the three eggs on his clothes, saying, ”It's still warm.”

Xue Xianyun coldly nodded his head. That old woman had probably given the order that as long as they kept an eye on the little mistress, they were not allowed to interrupt.

As a result, there was no response. There was indeed no response …

Wei Zhao could only continue to work hard, ”Do you want to touch it?”

This kind of unrelenting search for a topic was really bitter for a five-year-old girl!
