The wife of the power minister's family

This appearance is no different from usual.

Xu Jing couldn't help but secretly laugh at herself, how could Xiao Yi think that she and the original Xu Jing were not the same person? This kind of bizarre thing could even be said to be a strange thing, which most people would never think of.

She withdrew her eyes and asked Qiu Shui to bring up the candles made according to her instructions today. Qiu Shui asked people to go to the candlemaker to make these candles. Because the process was not complicated, it took only half a day to make them. .

But they saw that they were five candles as thick as index fingers. These five candles were dyed Xiao Huaian's favorite blue. There was a small bamboo stick protruding from the bottom of the candle. Xu Jing looked at the curious and expectant eyes of the children. Next, he carefully inserted the candles on the soft cake, and then asked Shen Niang and the others to extinguish all the surrounding lights and light up the five candles on the cake one by one.

The moment the fire lit up, Xiao Huaian couldn't help but scream in surprise. Looking at the little one wrapped in the warm yellow candlelight, Xu Jing laughed softly and said: "Changxiao, you can make a wish. After you make the wish, put the candle away." Blow it out, and God will hear your wish and help you make it come true."

Xiao Huaian suddenly looked at Xu Jing with bright eyes, and the other children looked at him eagerly, almost envious.

Immediately, he clasped his hands as Xu Jing indicated, and suddenly said loudly: "I, I hope I can have a little sister to play with me as soon as possible!"

After saying that, before anyone around him could react, he puffed up his cheeks and blew out all the five candles in front of him with a "pop" sound.

Almost at the same time, the servants waiting nearby lit all the lamps around them, and the courtyard was brightly lit again.

Only then did all the adults react, and they couldn't help but look at Xu Jing and Xiao Yi with narrow eyes.

Zhao Shaohua even laughed heartily and said: "Ah Jing, this is what you said, God will grant your wish of a long smile."

Xu Jing: "..."

How did she know that a certain little doll's wish turned out to be this!

It’s like digging a hole for yourself to jump into!

Next, there was the regular cake sharing session. Children and all the women loved this sweet and soft cake. None of the men except Zhao Jingming were used to eating it. In the end, Zhao Jingming was relieved. .

After the meal, everyone sat and chatted for a while. The adults were all fine, but several younger children began to feel drowsy after eating and drinking.

Song Youyu was the first to fall asleep. Zhao Shaohua looked at Song Youyu who was being held by the nanny, and smiled helplessly: "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. Brother Yu, this little kid, went crazy today. On weekdays, he can't I didn’t go to bed so early.”

Xu Jing looked at the sky, then at Xiao Huaian, whose eyelids were already twitching, and said with a smile, "Our little birthday girl looks sleepy too."

Xiao Huaian was excited, sat up quickly, rubbed his eyes with one hand, and muttered: "I...I'm not sleepy, I can still eat, and I can still play..."

Several women couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ms. Pei stood up first and said, "Okay, let's take our leave and won't disturb your rest."

Zhao Shaohua and Pei both said so, and everyone else also left.

Xiao Yi and Xu Jing personally escorted them out. As soon as they reached the gate, Zhao Shaohua suddenly said: "Hey, where is Qingyun?"

Everyone was startled and looked around, and sure enough they didn't see Song Qingyun.

Xu Jing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking of Xiao He who hadn't spoken much that night, and then she looked around secretly.

Very good, Xiao He is not here either.

She coughed quickly and said, "I'm going to find Song Erniang."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he turned around and walked back into the house.

Xu Jing returned all the way to the courtyard where she had just had dinner, but saw that except for the servants who were packing things, there was no trace of the two people there.

She thought for a while and walked towards the hut closest to the yard. When she reached a corner, her steps suddenly stopped, and Xiao He's low and hoarse voice came from the other side of the corner——

"...Do you really want to discuss marriage with Sun Sanlang?"

Song Qingyun sounded a little annoyed, "Let me go first."

Xiao He was silent for a long time, and then he sighed with a bit of depression, "Qingyun, why do you always turn a blind eye to me?"

This was the first time Xu Jing had seen such a humble and powerless Xiao He. Song Qingyun's voice was obviously a little helpless, "I... didn't turn a blind eye to you, but I... didn't have you in my heart. In this case, if I married you, it would be unfair to you... "

"I do not care."

"..."

"Then you are not afraid of being unfair to Sun Sanlang when you marry him?"

"I don't know Sun Sanlang... Besides, if I really marry him in the future, I will definitely play the role of a good wife..."

"Song Qingyun, why would you rather marry a stranger than me?"

"Alas! Xiao He, what do you want to do..."

Xu Jing felt a little nervous, that guy Xiao He wouldn't try to force him, would he? He doesn't look like that!

She was hesitating whether to take a peek quietly, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind her. She turned her head suddenly and saw Zhao Shaohua's eyes wide open, as if he had choked on a big melon.

What's worse is that just when she and Zhao Shaohua were staring at each other, Song Qingyun suddenly ran out from the other side of the corner. Seeing them, her face that was already slightly pink instantly turned red, and her peach blossom eyes were blank. After looking at them helplessly for a while, he suddenly ran past them and ran out.

"Song Erniang..."

Xu Jing subconsciously wanted to catch up, but Zhao Shaohua stopped her and said, "Leave Qingyun to me. As for Xiao He..."

She raised her eyes to look at Xiao He, who was slowly walking over, frowning, looking at him one after another, as if she still couldn't digest the matter, and finally said: "If you are really interested in Qingyun, then come here openly and openly." When the Song family proposes marriage, your mother-in-law will definitely give priority to you based on your character and abilities."

After saying that, he turned around and chased Song Qingyun, muttering as he walked: "But this guy's thoughts are so deep, I couldn't tell that he was interested in Qingyun at all before... …”

Xiao He sighed secretly and leaned against the wall.

Xu Jing glanced at him and said, "You don't propose marriage because you are afraid that it will be difficult for Song Erniang, and you are also afraid of being rejected by her."

After all, Song Erniang didn't want to marry him.

Xiao He looked up at the moonlight in the sky and pursed his lips slightly, "I don't understand why she would rather marry a stranger than me."

Xu Jing looked at him for a while and said, "It shows that Song Erniang cares about you."

Never mind whether this concern is related to the relationship between men and women.

At least she didn't want Xiao He to get hurt because of her.

But she wouldn't think about whether Sun Sanlang would be injured because of her.

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Xu Jing with a faint smile, stood up straight and said, "I like what you said. Thank you."

After saying that, he raised his hand and walked towards the door.

Xu Jing looked at his back for a while and then followed him.

Finally, Zhao Shaohua left with Song Qingyun, who had her head lowered and her face red and silent. Before leaving, Song Qingyun glanced at Xu Jing. That look made Xu Jing feel that this woman seemed to have something to say to her. she says.

She couldn't help but stand at the door and pondered slightly. Xiao Yi suddenly held her hand and whispered: "Just now, is Jingchen with Song Erniang?"

Xu Jing turned her head suddenly and looked at him in surprise, "How do you know?"

She shouldn't have shown it so obviously, right?
