Yan Xiaoyan came to the general's mansion early in the morning. She wanted to go to Yanshan to see the flowers and also wanted to have a meal at the general's mansion.
She went to Yan Xiaoli's house and heard from the maid that Yan Xiaoli was locked up at home by her second aunt to copy the female precepts, and she ran away. The second aunt was good in every way, but she had too many rules, which made people scared.
Yan Xiaoling also wanted to come and have a free meal with Yan Xiaoyan, but was pestered by the little girl at home.
Of the four sworn brothers of the Yan family, only Yan Feng has a wife, concubines, illegitimate sons and daughters. The other three families don't even have concubines, let alone connecting rooms. Yan Xiaoyan and Yan Xiaoli both have a daughter, but only Yan Xiaoling has a five-year-old little devil sister who makes everyone avoid her.
Wei Yang sat in the yard basking in the sun, listening to Yan Xiaoyan talk about the great achievements of Yan Xiaoling, her naughty sister.
For example, when she was a few months old, she would pull people's hair, earrings, and eyes. When she was a little older, she knew how to beat people, and once she pushed someone into the water. This person was Yan Xiaoling. Occasionally, Yan Xiaoyan would also be affected, but fortunately she rarely went.
In the eyes of others, she is just a well-behaved and pretty little girl, cute and obedient.
Speaking of Yan Xiaoling's sister Yan Xiaodie, Yan Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and felt that she could talk about it for three days and three nights.
"Then, does Xiaoling really dislike her sister?" Wei Yang asked.
"No way. No matter how bad her sister is, she is still her sister. They are born of the same mother, so she can't help but like her sister. It's just that I have to give in to her a little most of the time." Speaking of giving in to her a little, Yan Xiaoyan ate a piece of cake viciously.
The pastries at the General’s Mansion were so delicious that she had eaten several pieces without realizing it.
"Then Xiaoling can't come out today?" Wei Yang considerately poured a cup of hot water for Yan Xiaoyan and handed it to her.
Yan Xiaoyan was choking on a snack and rolled her eyes. She quickly took the hot water from Wei Yang's hand and drank it all. She was finally able to speak: "She will definitely come out, and she will definitely bring her naughty sister with her. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
"Didn't you say she was naughty? If she was so bad, why did you bring her out?" Wei Yang had never met a naughty child. The children of the Su family were taught rules since they were young. Their words and deeds, including eating and drinking, were all regulated. How could they be naughty
"You'll know when you see it." Yan Xiaoyan stuffed another piece of dessert into her mouth and said in a squeaking voice.
During the New Year, the four adopted sons of the Yan family came with their families to pay New Year's greetings. Yan Xiaodie fell ill, coughing and having a fever. Mrs. Lei San was afraid that she would pass on her illness to the old general and Wei Yang, so she did not dare to bring her over.
Yan Xiaodie's illness lasted for a whole month before she recovered and stopped coughing. Mrs. Lei San was worried and detained her for another ten days.
Now she couldn't hold it in any longer. She heard from the maids in the mansion that the whole city was full of flower cars yesterday. She also said that the eldest daughter followed her aunt from the general's mansion to Yanshan to see the sea of flowers. She was very upset and kept crying and making a fuss at home, pestering Yan Xiaoling.
She had never seen the floats or the sea of flowers, but she must go see the sea of flowers and asked her sister to take her to see the sea of flowers.
My elder sister actually said that she would not go today. Sister Xiaoyan was clearly here, and she saw her skirt, but she ran away. They are all bad people, they don’t like her, and they don’t want to play with her.
The more Yan Xiaodie thought about it, the sadder she became. The sadder she became, the harder she cried. Finally, she hiccuped!
Mrs. Lei San said hesitantly: "Xiaoling, why don't you take your sister to see the sea of flowers."
Yan Xiaodie’s crying stopped abruptly, and she raised her red little face to look at her sister.
