Chapter 169 The little guy is her dearest person

After returning from Sisi and Xiao Yan's residence, Gu Mingzhang called for the housekeeper.

"You go out of the city and go north to a village called Dawei Village, and find out about Xiao Shishiniang for me."

"Miss Xiao from Huangliang Escort Bureau?"

Gu Mingzhang nodded, and then urged: "Inquire carefully, ask about the situation of her husband's family and the situation of her mother's family."

What is the owner doing?What is Miss Xiao doing for no reason?The butler murmured in his heart.

I also remembered that Gu Mingzhang asked someone to pack up a carload of New Year's goods just after he returned from the darts, and he specifically told him to put more fabrics suitable for women and children into it.Could it be?

People who can be housekeepers are very active in their minds. They know what needs to be asked, and what needs to be thought about in their hearts.

"I know, I'll go there tomorrow." The housekeeper replied.

It's already late today, if you go out, you may not be able to come back.

"Well. You go over early tomorrow morning, and find out as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about staying at home, the small ones will be taken care of."

……

The 24th of the twelfth lunar month is the dust-sweeping day. Although the house has just been cleaned, Shisi wants to take Xiao Yan to experience the ritual feeling of the New Year together, so the mother and son have finished their exercise and have breakfast, so they take out the broom and rag and start working .

It took a whole morning to sort out and arrange the New Year's goods given to them by several companies, and then wiped the tables, chairs, doors and windows.

Xiao Yan wanted to eat crispy pork loin for lunch, and it happened that Qi Tianheng and Gu Mingzhang each had a large piece of pork in their gifts.Fourteen made sweet and sour pork tenderloin for him, stewed a fish, fried a vegetable, and a bowl of rice for each of them, which settled his lunch.

One thing I have to say is that in the winter of the Dali Dynasty, there are absurdly few types of vegetables, and they are also absurdly expensive.

In the other three seasons, the price of vegetables that cost a few cents a catty can soar ten times or dozens of times in winter.

The main reason is the climate. The climate in the north is cold in winter. In this era, there is no technology for growing vegetables in greenhouses.Except for a few vegetables that can grow in the cold winter months, most of the vegetables have to be transported from the south to the north.

And these vegetables transported from the south are exclusively for the wealthy households. Firstly, because the quantity is small, ordinary people cannot touch them. Secondly, even if there are connections, the price will persuade most people to leave.

When Mrs. Meng prepared things for her, she didn't mention those expensive fabrics, but specifically told her that the two baskets of green leafy vegetables were rare, so that she must eat with Xiao Yan by herself, and take other things as gifts.

In the afternoon, I did a symbolic sweep of the yard, and then there was nothing else to do.Seeing that it was still early, Shisi took Xiao Yan out and went for a walk in Nanshi together.

Xiaoyan is too big, and if he goes out on the street, it will definitely cause riots, so he can only keep it at home to watch the house.

"Mother, when shall we go to uncle's house?"

"What's the matter, do you miss uncle?"

"Brother Shuchang and Sister Yuhe haven't given them gifts yet."

"In a few days." Fourteen explained to him, "New Year's is coming soon, every house is very busy, uncle and aunt must also be busy buying new year's goods and packing things. We don't want to bother you now."

"After the Chinese New Year, my uncle and aunt still have to visit relatives, and they are very busy. It's not suitable for us to go there."

"When is the right time?"

"Let's wait until they finish visiting their relatives." Fourteen said, "I'll take you there around the sixth and seventh day of the lunar new year."

"Okay." Xiao Yan was very obedient.And it belongs to the category of precocious wisdom, thinking ability and language communication ability are higher than those of children of the same age. Usually, when fourteen communicates with him, he also likes to discuss things with each other. He is used to talking things out, not just because he is a child. Only tell him the result, only let him execute.

Fourteen suddenly remembered something: "A Yan, your birthday is coming, what gift do you want?"

"birthday?"

"That's right." Fourteen said, "Today is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are five days left before your birthday."

Xiao Yan happened to be born on New Year's Eve, and it was Zishi, a friend of old and new.

"Do you need a gift for your birthday?" Xiao Yan didn't quite understand this.

"Of course." Fourteen said, "To celebrate your birth, mother will give you a gift. You can start thinking about what birthday gift you like right now."

Xiao Yan began to think, Fourteen rode on the horse and continued to move forward.

"Book." Xiao Yan thought about it, he really didn't have anything he wanted.Because what he likes, the mother has already given it to him.

He lacks nothing.

For presents, he wanted books.

"What book?" Fourteen was surprised but not surprised.

"A book like the Legend of the White Dragon."

Fourteen bought the book The Legend of the White Dragon from Shendu, and the two of them read it together.The more she read it, the more she felt that she bought the book right at the beginning, and Xiao Yan also liked it very much.

"Mother, can you buy another book like The Legend of the White Dragon?"

"Okay, what's wrong with that?" Fourteen readily agreed, but then said, "But Ah Yan, the variety of books in Huangliang County is far inferior to that of Shendu. Mother will take you to the place where books are sold. Look for it, whether you can find it or not is not certain.”

The anticipation on Xiao Yan's face dropped when he heard this.

"But we still have five days, so we can look for it slowly." Fourteen said again, "If there is no one in Huangliang County, mother will take you to Guliang County to look for it on horseback."

The most prosperous place in the entire Hedong Road is Songzhou, and the two most prosperous counties in Songzhou are Huangliang County and Guliang County.

"Okay!" Xiao Yan immediately laughed when he heard the words, "Mother, you are so kind, you are the best!"

"Ah Yan is the best too." Fourteen responded to him, "You are my baby, so of course I treat you the best."

Although it is hard to count, Xiao Yan is not her child.

But when Fourteen alone came to a completely unfamiliar environment, this little guy was the only one who had a close relationship with her, and the only one who stayed by her side all the time.

Xiao Yan was raised out of sympathy, responsibility, and love for Xiao Yan from the memory of Xiao Shi Shi Niang.

But as two people get along, they have already become a relationship of mutual companionship.Xiao Yan relies on Fourteen, but in a certain way, why isn't Fourteen relying on him?

In her previous life, she was surrounded by noise and excitement, but she was always alone. In that world, there was no one who couldn't live without her, and there was no one she couldn't live without.It's like she suddenly disappeared and came here, and no one's life in that world will be affected by it.

However, after coming here, she became bound due to various reasons, and she was no longer single as in her previous life.Fourteen was very greedy and cherished this feeling.

At least in this world, there is another person who is closely connected with her.Someone would be sad if she suddenly disappeared again.On the contrary, when Xiao Yan got hurt, it would also affect her emotions, making her try her best to protect him.

Fourteen cherishes this state of being involved with the world in which he lives.

The little guy beside her is now her closest relative.They are the closest people to each other.
