C9 (1/2)

Lady Xue suddenly thought of Yu Yun doing two things for the first time today. One of them was saying something over four words, while the other one was giving a string of beads to Du Weizhao.

Thinking of Zhu Zhu, she straightened her body and said to Ju Xiang, ”Go and summon one of Brother Yun's servants over.”

Madam Xue carefully asked her son about the events of the past few days. She heard the wet nurse say, ”Young master has finished studying in the past few days and likes to rummage through the beads in the box. When he sees something shining, he pinches it and plays with it for a bit. After a while, the servant will serve young master to sleep.”

”There was a string of obsidian beads, remember?”

”I remember, the young master only took it and looked, and didn't wear it, because it was given by a noble. I put it in a box alone, and this morning the young master asked for it, and the servant put it in his purse.”

”En, I'll give that pearl to someone else today. I'll rush him to come over and pick a string of beads to make up for it.”

Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment. A child who was not even five years old yet, what kind of thoughts could he have? Lady Xue felt that this was impossible, as Ji Yunshu had seen many children of the same age as her in the capital city. She had seen many children of the same age as her, better looking than Wei Zhao, with gentle personalities.

Furthermore, the Du Family only had Wei Zhao, so it seemed that she would have to depend on her future retirement. Even if she and the Du Family were cousins, the Xue Family would never be able to marry into a branch family like the Du Family.

However, Big Chao Yun truly did treat Wei Zhao differently. How could Wei Zhao be any different from other people if he treated him differently?

Yes, what's the difference?

Wei Zhao was just a little girl, at most he was a little more sensible. He had seen a lot of peasant children, Lady Xue, so the Du Family shouldn't be that poor. Even though her clothes were sewn at an average level, the material was good.

Lady Xue was a bit self-confident, but she didn't have much of an opinion on the subject. Du Su didn't have any intention of fawning over her at all. She only treated them as relatives from the past.

Furthermore, Wei Zhao was much bigger than Zhao Yun …

Lady Xue sat up straight. Luckily, Lan Xiang never had long nails, otherwise she might have been able to cut her skin.

However, she wasn't paying attention to all of this right now. Her mind was filled with the words, ”She is the ninth day of the ninth month …”

Nine is the number of the Yang, and the Sun and the Moon should be united.

He didn't expect Wei Zhao to have such a good birthday.

While Lady Xue was thinking about Wei Zhao, Spring Flower was also inquiring about her family's guests at the Du Family.

Du Su grabbed a handful of fruit for the spring flowers. At first, they were embarrassed to accept it, but it was still Wei Zhao who took her hand and gave it to her.

Spring Flower ate and chatted with Wei Zhao. Wei Zhao didn't want to eat the sweet seed, so he held a handful of locust flowers and chewed on them one by one.

”That little brother of today is so handsome …”

Wei Zhao: ”Oh.” The elm should be here by now, right? ”

Spring Flower said, ”Uh, this one is still too tender. Once it is steamed, it will become water. I'll need at least two more days.”

”If you don't steamed it, it would be good to eat it raw, no? Shall we go and pick some tomorrow? ”

Spring Flower nodded. Wei Zhao turned to her mother and asked, ”Mother, where is that hook that you used to pull the locust flower from?”

Du Su came out of the house and pointed to the corner of the wall. ”Tomorrow, when your father comes back, he will bring all of you with him.”

It's so painful to take a day off and start school again!

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The morning breeze was a bit chilly, so Wei Zhao didn't want to come out.

Du Su prepared a meal and carried it to the brick bed. ”You want to eat first before getting up?”

Wei Zhao hurriedly stood up, ”Wash your face first.”

As usual, he was the last one to enter the academy. Mr. Qian had arranged an hour for him, so Du Su only thought that as long as he advanced into the classroom at this hour, he wouldn't be late.

After eating the noodles and poached eggs in the morning, Dusu didn't want to add any salt or give her any extra cilantro. Wei Zhao was only able to eat a small bowl and was already full.

He was full when he left the house. After an hour and a half, he started to get hungry …

When Mr. Qian heard that she had memorized a section of the book, he was just about to explain it to her when Wei Zhao's stomach made a sound.
