Xiao Qi, Wait!

Chapter 7: Qian Xiaoqi, Wait

After eating lunch, Xiaoqi finally saw the Ha Pi that Lu Liu described to sound like a furry steamed bun. The little thing went 'woof woof' after being carried in by a maid, then immediately jumped down and threw itself straight towards Xiaoqi's chest.

Song Liangzhuo, who was sitting at the side, seemed to start, then he subconsciously lifted his arm to block it for Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi, however, moved a step faster than him and gathered the little thing into her arms.

How is this a steamed white flour bun ah? It was clearly a glutinous rice dango*. Xiaoqi rubbed the dog's head as she thought, it's actually not bad looking. Compared to that someone in front of her, it was much more pleasing to the eye.

It's just too cute and tasty! Let me post a couple pics~

Song Liangzhuo's motion to protect Xiaoqi obviously incurred Old Master Qian's liking. Originally, he was still debating whether he should give money or not, but from the looks of it now, this son-in-law does quite love this daughter. What his own wife said also made quite a bit of sense: give half first, then give the other half once Xiaoqi is expecting.

Old Master Qian slapped his leg and set his decision on the matter just like this.

After the meal, the men started chatting and Xiaoqi took the time to slip out again.

The courtyards of Qian fu were much bigger. Aside from a large back garden, there was also a man-made river that traversed the Qian fu. Qian Xiaoqi sat in the pavilion next to the lotus flower pond. As she enjoyed the breeze, she felt a little unwilling to leave.

The beautiful missus sat at the side and kept Xiaoqi company. Seeing Xiaoqi hanging her head dejectedly as she threw fish food into the lotus flower pond, she felt a little heartache. She had also specially gone to take a look at the little courtyard in Song fu. It was a two section compound courtyard, without a back garden and without a pond; in the heat of summer, it was definitely very hot.

The beautiful missus looked at the red carps inside the pond that were fighting to snatch the food and said softly, "Is it that Xiaoqi received some grievances? Tell Mom a little?"

"I didn't."

"Did that Lady Wen cause trouble? Does Song Liangzhuo have some relationship with that surnamed Wen?"

"Relationship ya?" Xiaoqi looked at the dense green lotus pond and thought for a bit. "They have a relationship. They've known each other since young."

"Green plum and bamboo horse(a couple that grew up as childhood friends)?!" The beautiful missus exclaimed in alarm.

"That, it isn't. Don't know whether the bamboo horse has any feelings towards the green plum, but the green plum has feelings for the bamboo horse."

"Then Xiaoqi must keep a tight watch this time. You mustn't be negligent!"

Xiaoqi mischievously blinked her eyes while one hand slowly clenched tight in the air as she gritted her teeth. "When I go back I'll stare. Tight. Ly." This drew a burst of gentle laughter from the beautiful missus.

Xiaoqi fed the fish for a while before asking with a depressed voice, "Mom, can I move back here after a couple days? I still like this courtyard of ours more."

The beautiful missus also felt much heartache, but though heartache was heartache, she forced herself to say, "It's best if Xiaoqi stays in Song fu. It'd also be easier to keep a tight eye on that Lady Wen that way. If you really miss Mom, then just come back for a glance whenever you have time."

A glance na! Sorrow surged forth from Xiaoqi's heart.

Sure enough, a married out daughter is spilled out water ah. Can't even stay for long when coming back, and only allowed a glance.
