After the Republic of China

Chapter 4 Status Quo
The locust garden in the afternoon was empty and cold.

A gust of wind blew by, and Xiao Jinling flinched.

Seeing that the child was unwell, Baierniang ignored her doubts and hurriedly slowed down her pace, "It'll be there in a while, let's slow down."

Xiao Jinling took a breath, and looked at Mama stubbornly, "Everyone treats Miss badly, Miss should be upset."

Bai Erniang saw that she was so small, she was worried a lot, she said helplessly: "Miss should be sad, right? After all, the people who treat her coldly are her own grandparents and father."

After getting this positive answer, Xiao Jinling pouted.

Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Bai Erniang helplessly patted the child's head, "Fortunately, the old man treats the young lady well, that's good, don't make a fool of yourself."

"I want Miss to be happy, and I want Miss to stay here forever." Xiao Jinling said with a bitter face.

happy?Leave?Bai Erniang glanced at her daughter, and sighed silently, "Miss won't remember this family, right?"

Hearing this, Jin Ling felt a little lost.

Bai Erniang nodded to her daughter, "Okay, don't act like this, you don't need to annoy Miss."

Xiao Jinling calmed down obediently, and said angrily: "It's all that Aunt Bai, if it wasn't for her, our Da Furen wouldn't be divorced..."

"Girl!" Bai Erniang was taken aback by her words, "You can say that too?"

Xiao Jinling was taken aback by Muma's shout, and moved to Baierniang's side in fear.

Seeing her daughter leaning towards her, Baierniang sighed silently, "Are you afraid now? Will you still talk nonsense in the future?"

Xiao Jinling shook her head, "If the eldest lady is still at home, the young lady will not be without mother's protection."

After listening to her child's words, Bai Erniang couldn't bear to blame her daughter anymore, she looked at her red nose, and said distressedly: "I told you not to follow, it's so cold, what should I do if I get sick later?"

After finishing speaking, she held the food box in one hand and covered her daughter's little hand with the other.

Xiao Jinling sniffed, then pinched Mama's hand back, and shook her head obediently, "It's not cold, Mama, my hands are warm."

Seeing that her daughter's little hands were really warm, Bai Erniang breathed a sigh of relief, and said a lesson: "Jin Ling, next time the Master's words, you can't say any more, you understand?"

Jin Ling was a little frightened, "Let's not talk about it, the second lady is so fierce, and the young master Biao who followed is also not good, he always squints at people."

"You little brat, you know a lot." Bai Erniang scolded with a smile, "Okay, the end is coming, you can be more honest with me."

Listening to the mother's explanation, Xiao Jinling smelled the strong fragrance of wintersweet all at once, and knew that this was the lady's yard, so she obediently responded.

No, the two just stepped into the yard when they saw Ximei standing in the porch.

Xiao Jinling and Bai Erniang hurriedly greeted her.

As soon as Ximei saw the one big and one small coming, she quickly picked them up.

After the two said 'yes', she smiled and said, "Er Niang, you are finally here."

When Baierniang saw that Ximei had come out to pick it up, she secretly thought she was late, so she quickly walked a few steps and said, "It's so cold, why did you come out, is Miss hungry?"

Xi Mei took out a handful of sunflower seeds, handed them to Jin Ling, and replied, "No, I came out because I saw that it was getting late. Let's go."

After finishing speaking, she pulled the golden bell, lifted the curtain, and walked in with Bai Erniang.

After entering the room, Bai Erniang poked her head down, looked around, but saw no one, "Miss is still in the big study?"

Shao Yunshi has two study rooms, the outer study room is a large study room, used by visitors or subordinates.

The other is a small study room on the west side, where she is usually lazy.

Her medicine refining room is built in the back building because of the concealment and the storage of medicinal materials, and the idlers don't know about it.

Shao Yunshi nestled on the warm couch in the small study, and when she heard the movement, she greeted the outside, "The second mother is here."

Hearing the cry, Bai Erniang hurriedly carried her things and walked to the small study, "Hey, it's me, Miss, have you rested?"

Shao Yunshi is usually kind to others, and said with a smile, "Get some rest, this cold weather has made you tired."

While talking, she also waved to Xiao Jinling who came in together.

Xiao Jinling liked the eldest lady who came back so rarely.

Seeing the young lady beckoning, she respectfully followed her mother first, and then obediently walked towards the warm couch.

She is like this, the happy Shao Yunshi is happy, and Ximei also praises her.

Being liked and praised, Xiao Jinling snuggled against the warm couch with a smirk in her heart.

Bai Erniang's face was also full of light, and the movements of arranging the dishes in her hands were a little neat.

Xi Mei also started to help.

Although Bai Erniang's cooking skills are not as good as that of Aunt Ding from Aunt Yan's family in Suzhou, she still has an appetite for Shao Yunshi, especially her fruit porridge.

Seeing this porridge today, Ximei was overjoyed, "Look at this porridge cooking more and more authentic."

Bai Erniang hurriedly said: "The fruit and rice are both top-quality, watch the heat, this porridge is just fine."

Shao Yunshi took the porridge presented by Ximei, sniffed the aroma of the fruit, and said, "The pears are well preserved, the porridge will definitely be sweet but not greasy."

"It's just that Miss likes it, try it quickly, if it's good, I'll do it next time." Bai Erniang looked at Shao Yunshi earnestly.

It is a rule in Shao's family not to talk when eating or sleeping, and it will not be crossed in Shao Yunshi.

Shao Yunshi held the bowl and savored it carefully.

It's really good, even if she has a tricky mouth, she can't say it's bad.

After having a delicious afternoon tea, Shao Yunshi's mood became even better, "The taste is still the same, is there more?"

Bai Erniang still pretended that the young lady was not full, so she hurriedly said: "I filled a pot, do you want to eat, young lady?"

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "I'm full, you guys drink some. The sky is very dry, pear porridge nourishes the lungs and relieves cough."

Bai Erniang didn't dare to eat at Miss's place, she hurriedly said: "I'll eat later, thank you Miss."

"Where's Little Jinling?" Shao Yunshi asked Ximei to eat by herself.

Xiao Jinling shook her head politely, "I'm not hungry, I'll eat with my mom, dad and brother later."

This child is so good, Shao Yunshi rubbed her short hair pityingly.

Ximei eats very quickly.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Bai Erniang hurriedly took her bowls and spoons and cleaned them up.

Ximei was busy getting warm water and hot handkerchiefs for the young lady, but she was not as polite as Bai Erniang.

Shao Yunshi used a hot handkerchief, which was very comfortable. She thanked Bai Erniang who was clearing the table, "It's windy and cold today, Erniang Lao is running errands."

The young lady who listened was so polite, Bai Erniang waved her hands again and again, "It should be, it should be."

Shao Yunshi is wearing a homely pink silk padded jacket with narrow sleeves today.

Sitting there, he looked sharp and playful, and his speech and actions were elegant.

Seeing Erniang's terrified look, she laughed and said: "There is still something about Xiao Jinling here, I should thank you for your hard work."

When Xiao Jinling heard her name being said, she raised her head inexplicably, forgetting to turn the rope.
