Pastoral little master

Chapter 249 See Through
Qiduo didn't want others to see the wood carving, but Xu Youxuan had long arms and fast hands, and before she could react, the wood carving was already in his hands.

"Brother Xu, this little thing is nothing to look at, just give it to me." Qiduo stretched out her hand to ask for it.

She was afraid that Xu Youxuan would be ashamed if he saw that the little girl in the wood carving was her.

Xu Youxuan leaned slightly, and instead of returning the wood carving to her immediately, he looked at it seriously.

After looking at it carefully, Xu Youxuan couldn't help nodding, "It's such an exquisite woodcarving, it can be seen that the sculptor put a lot of effort into it, but Xiao Qi, why does this little girl look a bit like you?"

While looking at the wood carving in his hand, he looked at Qiduo, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like it, especially the expression between the eyebrows, which was really imaginative.

Qiduo couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly denied, "Brother Xu, you misread, how could it be me."

Xu Youxuan shook his head, "That's right, it's really similar."

While the two were talking, Shen Nan walked out from the room and looked at Xu Youxuan.

Xu Youxuan felt his presence, glanced at him sideways, and then subconsciously looked at the wood carving in his hand.

"This little boy looks like Third Young Master Shen." Xu Youxuan leaned close to Qiduo's ear and whispered, with a deep smile in his voice.

He knew Shen Nan's identity.

Ever since he knew the relationship between the Xu family and the Xu family, Qiduo has gained the status of a little cousin in addition to the original partner and good friend in his mind.

Cousin is different from a good friend, that is the title of a family.

Therefore, he couldn't help becoming intimate with Qiduo's words and deeds.

In the past, he would have been embarrassed to talk to Qiduo.

Although she is much younger than him, there is a difference between men and women, and the etiquette that should be observed must be observed.

But Shen Nan didn't know Xu Youxuan's identity. Seeing that he was so close to Qiduo, she felt very unhappy, coughed lightly, and looked at Qiduo, "Qiduo, it's getting late, why are you going back?"

"Also, take away the things I gave you." Shen Nan added.

Originally, Xu Youxuan only guessed that the little boy was Shen Nan, but now that he heard that the wood carving was given by him, he confirmed what he thought, and there was clearly a sour taste in his tone of voice, which made people daydream.

Xu Youxuan heard people say that Shen Nan is versatile, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even good at martial arts. Now it seems that the wood carving in his hand is very likely to be carved by Shen Nan himself.

At such a young age, not only can he read well, but he also has such a superb carving work, which really has to be admired.

Xu Youxuan sincerely admired Shen Nan more.

"Xiaoqi, here you are, put it away, don't throw it away." Xu Youxuan handed the wood carving to Qiduo, the smile on his lips deepened.

It's just that the slightly raised eyebrows made his smile look a bit bad.

Qiduo looked at it, feeling inexplicably cold, reached out to take the wood carving, nodded at Shen Nan, "I know, I'll be back now."

Shen Nan raised the corners of her lower lips in satisfaction.

Xu Youxuan looked at Shen Nan, and politely cupped his fists, "Sir Shen is such an exquisite carver, I admire you."

Shen Nan was not surprised that Xu Youxuan knew him, and smiled lightly, "Xu Shaodong's family told me."

He heard about Xu Youxuan's identity from Han Hewen.

At the same time, this sentence is an admission that the wood carving was carved by himself.

Xu Youxuan smiled even brighter.

Qiduo was a little curious about Xu Youxuan's purpose for coming to the academy, and asked, "Brother Xu, I saw you coming to the academy last time, is there someone at home studying here?"

When mentioning this, the smile on Xu Youxuan's face faded, he sighed and nodded, "That's right."

"Oh, who is it?" Qiduo asked casually.

"My ineffective cousin Yan Sihong." Xu Youxuan replied.

"What, he also came to the academy?" Qi Duo asked in surprise, her eyes widened.

Will this scumbag pollute the atmosphere of the academy when he comes to study in the academy?

She was really worried.

She hated Yan Sihong extremely.

But after this thought slipped by, she suddenly became a little frustrated again, remembering what Erxia said last time, Erxia also has a younger brother born to a compatriot!
And this younger brother is most likely Yan Sihong!
If Yan Sihong is really Erxia's younger brother, then he is his own elder brother.

Calling my brother a scumbag seems a bit wrong!

Qi Duo's mood suddenly became depressed, and she had forgotten about it recently, but now that she thinks about it again, she is really irritable. With such a brother, no one will be happy.

Ugh!
I just hope that I think too much, Yan Sihong is Yan Sihong, and has nothing to do with my family.

Qiduo comforted herself in this way.

Xu Youxuan didn't know what Qiduo was thinking, seeing her suddenly not happy, thinking that she still remembered Yan Sihong's snatching of Tan De's gold and silver last time, his face became hot and he was ashamed.

"Xiaoqi, don't worry about what happened last time. Sihong was also confused for a while. After entering the academy, he restrained a lot, and now he has improved in all aspects of his studies. Just now, my father and I went to Mr. Mister even praised Sihong." Xu Youxuan suddenly thought of the relationship between Yan Sihong and Qiduo's family, and for the sake of the future, he quickly defended Yan Sihong.

I really regret that I made a slip of the tongue and said that Yan Sihong is an unworthy cousin.

The words spoken are like water poured out, which cannot be taken back, so I can only put gold on Yan Sihong's face as much as possible.

"Brother Xu, I forgot what happened last time. Brother Xu, I have something to do at home, so let's go first." Qi Duo smiled and waved goodbye to Xu Youxuan.

Xu Youxuan also waved to her.

Tan Dejin and Qiduo left Huairen Academy and drove the carriage home.

There was a carriage parked in front of the house, which seemed to be the Kang family's carriage.

Before Qiduo entered her yard, she heard laughter coming from the yard.

She remembered that Second Aunt Kang said she would come to the house to thank her, did she come here today?
Qiduo quickly walked a few steps into the yard, and saw a few people sitting under the locust tree in the yard, they were Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Kang, Second Aunt Kang, and Kang Jin.

Several people talked and laughed happily, smiling happily.

Qi Duo smiled and greeted everyone.

Second Aunt Kang heard Xu's story about Qiduo's father and daughter going to the hatchery. Seeing Qiduo's return, she hurriedly asked concerned, "Qi girl, have all the eggs been delivered? What does your second uncle say?"

"Second Aunt, I sent them over. Uncle Yan helped us pick out some unqualified eggs, and then said that we don't need to worry about the rest. After another seven days, there may still be some unhatchable eggs. "Qiduo walked to Second Aunt Kang with a smile, and told the story over and over.

"It's fine once it's done." Second Aunt Kang said with a smile.

"This matter can be done thanks to you, Second Sister-in-law, otherwise we would not know what to do." When mentioning this matter, Xu naturally did not forget to thank Second Aunt Kang.

"Mother-in-law, look at what you said, we are all one family, why bother to say such unreasonable things." Second Aunt Kang raised her phoenix eyes, annoyed.

"Pfft." Mrs. Xu couldn't help laughing, "Second sister-in-law, you also said that we are a family and don't want to see outsiders, so if you bring those gifts here today, don't you see outsiders? So, the gifts will come back later When you go home, you must take it back, otherwise, you will not see us as a family."

Qi Duo guessed right, Second Aunt Kang came to express her thanks today and brought many gifts.

Don't say that Second Aunt Kang has such a relationship with Kang Jin's family, even if it is someone else, Mrs. Xu would not accept gifts from others.

Mrs. Xu was thinking about how to get Second Aunt Kang to take the gift back later, and it was just right, with Second Aunt Kang's words before her, her words were so righteous that Second Aunt Kang could not refuse.

"Mother-in-law, these are two different things and should not be confused." Second Aunt Kang was busy arguing.

"They're all the same, why are they two different things?" Xu responded with a smile.

Mrs. Kang saw that the two were arguing about this matter, she smiled and waved her hands, "Okay, you two, stop arguing, it's almost time, sister Mingxiu, Jin'er and I are going to visit the old man and the old lady, it's overdue. of."

"Okay, Sister Guirong, I'll go with you." Mrs. Xu smiled and shook Second Aunt Kang's hand, then got up.

Kang Jin immediately entered the room nimbly, and took out the gift for Mr. Tan and his wife.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Kang held arms, and Kang Jin followed, and the three went to the Tan family compound together.

Mrs. Kang and Kang went in to see Mr. and Mrs. Tan, but Second Aunt Kang didn't follow, but took Qiduo together to talk to Erxia.

When Yinkang came in, Erxia was shy, so she hid in the room to embroider and make shoes, and never came out.

Hearing the movement, knowing that Kang Jin and Mrs. Kang had gone to the front yard, she put down the shoes in her hand, opened the door and came out, ready to help Liuju in the kitchen.

As soon as he went out, he saw Second Aunt Kang and Qi Duo walking over.

"Second aunt." Er Xia hurriedly bowed her body, her cheeks flushed.

"Xia'er." Second Aunt Kang smiled and helped her hand, and responded kindly.

Seeing Erxia's face like a fairy, Second Aunt Kang's eyes overflowed with laughter, once again admiring that there is such a stunning beauty in the world, and secretly sighing that Kang Jin is so lucky to be able to marry such a beautiful woman mother.

What's even more commendable is that Erxia is not only beautiful and unparalleled, but also has a gentle and well-behaved personality, virtuous and capable, and considerate etiquette.

The more Aunt Kang looked at her, the more she liked her. With such a nephew and daughter-in-law, she would be honored at that time.

"Duo, you talk to Second Aunt, I'll go to the kitchen to help Ju." Er Xia was embarrassed to face Second Aunt Kang, and blushed to Qi Duo.

Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, big sister, today's dishes are up to you."

She originally wanted Erxia to talk with Aunt Kang and cook in the kitchen by herself, but after thinking about it, it would be better to let the elder sister show her skills, so that the Kang family can know that the elder sister's more abilities are not just for show.

After Qiduo's teaching for a period of time, now Liuju and Erxia's culinary skills have greatly improved, and they can cook some main dishes for guests, and the taste is not inferior to her.

That's why Qiduo let Erxia cook without worry, otherwise, it's not Luqiao, but clumsy.

Erxia nodded with a shy smile and went to the kitchen.

Second Aunt Kang actually wanted to talk to Erxia and get to know Erxia better.

Qiduo and Aunt Kang entered the room of the three sisters.

The half-made shoes in the short basket immediately caught the attention of Second Aunt Kang.
