Tuan Chong is five and a half years old and started his fortune from farming.

Chapter 181 The Clown
Duan Xuewei has recently become obsessed with beaded flower jewelry. Not long ago, she asked her personal maid to wait in line for a long time before successfully customizing a few pairs of headdresses. No, when the maid got the jewelry back, she opened the jewelry box and she couldn't put it down.
"It's so beautiful. If it were in Yujing, this craftsmanship and finished product would be worth just a few taels of silver each!"

"Isn't that right? I went to pick up the goods today. I heard that the shopkeeper is temporarily not taking any work. He said that there is too much work and he can't handle it."

Xi'er praised her, then took a bronze mirror and combed the young lady's hair into a bun.

"Spring is coming next year, and the roads are good for traffic and horses. Then I will definitely pester my mother to go shopping together."

Hearing this, Duan Xuewei felt that she could save her remaining little treasury for a little longer. During the Chinese New Year, her parents would give her a red envelope, and she would save it all to buy jewelry!

"Huh? Where would Wei'er want to take her mother?"

Suddenly, a graceful and luxurious figure walked into the boudoir surrounded by maids and wives, and the room was instantly filled with cold fragrance.

"I've met Madam~"

"Xi'er, step back."

"Yes, ma'am~"

Xi'er put down the mahogany comb and bowed respectfully.

Soon, only mother and daughter were left in the house. Mrs. Duan put down the plum branch in her hand, walked slowly behind her daughter, and said with a smile:

"What? Are you jealous again?"

"Mother, my daughter doesn't like that Lian He'er, why does the mother want to keep her as her adopted daughter?"

Duan Xuewei was dissatisfied, lowered her eyes and played with her fingers angrily without showing any courtesy.

"You, I wanted you to experience some hardships and figure out my intentions for yourself, but now, that's all, who made you my biological daughter."

Mrs. Duan took the mahogany comb on the dressing table and motioned her daughter to raise her head and look in the mirror.

"Mother, do you and your father adopt Lian He'er as your adopted daughter for some other purpose?"

After listening to her mother's words, Duan Xuewei's head felt a little itchy, as if something was about to grow.

"Do you know why your father was suddenly transferred to Anqing Mansion?"

Mrs. Duan braided her daughter's hair, then reached out to pick out a hairpin to fix it in. Her eyes fell on the jewelry box and she picked out an exquisite red hairpin.

"My daughter doesn't know."

Duan Xuewei wanted to shake her head, but her mother's fingers pressed on one spot, preventing her from moving.

"The Prince's Palace wants to marry the Duan family. The marriage partner is their little Prince. The silly one is a few years older than you."

Mrs. Duan inserted the hairpin, looked at her pale daughter in the mirror, patted her shoulder and said:
"That's why your father was suddenly transferred here as an official, and that's why I accepted Lian He'er as my adopted daughter."

Duan Xuewei finally understood the reason and was filled with fear.

It turns out that her father gave up his bright future in Yujing and came here to be the prefect because of her.

In order to protect her, her mother made many plans and recognized Lian He'er as her adopted daughter!

"Mom, if the county prince's palace is thinking of a marriage, if our Duan family sends an adopted daughter, is that feasible?"

"Silly boy, you have forgotten that the current princess is not the biological mother of the little prince. The prince just wants to win over the Duan family. The princess does not want the flesh and blood left by the previous princess to have a reliable natal family."

Mrs. Duan broke the truth into pieces and fed it to her daughter.

If her daughter doesn't understand her painstaking efforts, she really has to consider whether to ask a female official to teach her daughter!

Duan Xuewei shrank her neck and saw that her mother's hatred in the mirror was gone.

He quickly said:
"My daughter understands the good intentions of her mother and father!"

"My daughter will never go against Lian He'er again!"

"My daughter promises that she will not destroy her father and mother's plans." After explaining clearly, Duan Xuewei was relieved of her mother's "partiality". After a long time, it was all a mistake.

She is still the one loved most by her parents!
As for Lian He'er, huh, you're a clown, do you really think that your parents have been deceived?
Mrs. Duan's face improved and she couldn't help but give a few words:

"Okay, don't let your feet show off. Your father and mother will take care of everything for you. You, please don't be careless."

"Yes, yes, listen to mother."

Duan Xuewei was moved, then pointed at the newly bought jewelry and signaled her mother to choose something for her to wear~
"In two days, your father will entertain your cousin and your cousin at a banquet. Then your mother will bring you brothers and sisters, and Lian He'er as well."

"Yeah, my daughter will definitely not embarrass you then."

"Humph."

"Hey, mother is the best~"

Two days later——

Fu Bao wore a festive pink floral jacket and a rabbit skin scarf around his neck. His face was covered tightly, making it airtight.

There is a rope around the neck, and the rope is connected to the plush rabbit skin gloves.

The flower jacket had no pockets, so Fu Bao put on a cross-body bag with two layers. The inner layer contained broken silver, and the outer layer contained candy cubes and beef breasts.

Not much, enough to grind her teeth and pad her belly.

The snow was deep outside and I was afraid that my granddaughter would be cold, so the deerskin boots I bought for her came in handy.

Mrs. Xu originally wanted to give her granddaughter a fluffy hat, but her granddaughter thought the hat would mess up her bun, so she put it aside.

Brother Chuan likes yellow and black items, so the jackets he makes have tiger patterns.

Thanks to Mrs. Liu's skill, there is no sewing work other than looking at the shop. Otherwise, she would not have time to do fine embroidery work for her son.

The two siblings were ready. Anyone who looked at them would know they were siblings when they stood together.

Duan Yunian's carriage came to pick him up. Fu Bao took his smelly brother by the paw, said goodbye to his grandmother and mother, and got into the carriage.

Hohoho~
This carriage is much warmer than her father's carriage!
The equipment inside is much more advanced!
Tsk tsk~
"Fu Bao, Fu Bao, your uncle and I just have this carriage. I built it especially for your aunt. Don't even think about asking it away."

Duan Yunian was in high spirits during happy events, and his smile and tone were as good as ever.

Fu Bao rolled his eyes indecently, hugged his aunt's arm and said:

"Auntie, you see my uncle is so stingy. I can't let my younger brothers and sisters learn from my uncle in the future. How bad it is."

"That's it."

The speaker was Brother Chuan. He often followed his sister to play at his beautiful aunt's house, and he was no stranger to both his aunt and uncle.

Right now, he just echoed whatever his sister said without feeling anything was wrong at all.

Duan Yunian blew his beard angrily and stared. Unfortunately, since he shaved off the beard he had cultivated for many years, it has never grown back.
Don't ask, just ask, poking at the lady~
Fubao: I won’t eat dog food!
Brother Chuan: I am still a baby under three years old~
"Brother Chuan, come to your aunt's arms. Let's play together without your uncle."

Maybe it's because she is pregnant too, but Du Jiuniang likes children very much.

Needless to say, Fu Bao, one glance at Qingbao and Brother Chuan's tiger-like appearance also hit her heart.

Brother Chuan retracted into his aunt's arms very gently, saying without meaning:

"My aunt is fragrant, my uncle is smelly~"

Duan Yunian bared his teeth and wanted to roar. What should he do?
