The morning sun shone through the green gauze lattice window, casting mottled shadows on the green floor tiles. The whole room was illuminated brightly, the curtains were slightly lifted, and the bright red curtains covered the inside, so it was difficult to see what was going on.
Last night, it was Nanny Sun and Konggu who were on duty. They didn't hear any noise, nor did they hear the girl and the boy calling for water, so they felt relieved.
When Nanny Li and Xiaocao came to replace them, Nanny Sun and Konggu were talking in low voices, asking about the general's usual food preferences.
Nanny Sun was sent by the Empress Dowager to be in charge of the Ninth Miss's meals. Now that the girl has married into the general's mansion, she naturally has to ask the general about his preferences and whether there is anything taboo.
Seeing that the two were talking excitedly, Nanny Li hurriedly reminded them in a low voice: "The general and his wife will soon wake up. Nanny Sun, please excuse me and go to the kitchen to see how the breakfast is prepared. If it doesn't suit the wife's taste, there's still time to make it now."
Nanny Sun was a gentle person and did not think there was anything wrong with being told to do things by Nanny Li. She agreed and left with Xiaohua.
Nanny Li looked at Konggu, and Konggu said hurriedly, "I have to help Madam wash and dress. Nanny Li, if you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it. I will stay here."
Nanny Li nodded and left Xiaocao to wait with Konggu. She led the other five maids to prepare Weiyang's dowry.
Everyone came with the bridal sedan yesterday, except for Li Ma who came with the bed-maker and took charge here. The bride's dowry that came with her yesterday was piled in the courtyard and needed to be organized and put into the storeroom. The lady was not attentive, so Li Ma had to take care of it.
It's a rare occasion for Yan Gui to sleep in.
He woke up early in the morning, and looking at the girl sleeping in his arms, he couldn't bear to get up. The Yan family had no elders to visit in the capital, and even the ancestral tablets were in Yanzhou. Looking at the faint light outside, he hugged his beloved silly girl and fell asleep again.
This was the most unruly couple that Nanny Li had ever seen. By the time they got up, it was already noon. The dowry in the yard had been put into the warehouse, and the front hall and back yard were cleaned up.
After lunch, Wei Yang wanted to see the good stuff that Yan Gui talked about last night.
Yan Gui led Wei Yang to the backyard. Before they entered the yard, they heard an owl cry. Wei Yang looked at Yan Gui with eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief.
"Xiaoqing?"
Yan Gui nodded, took her hand and walked back. Xiao Qing flapped her wings and flew over, stopped at Wei Yang's feet, and rubbed her ankle with her head.
"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing." Weiyang squatted down, hugged Xiaoqing's neck, and her eyes were slightly warm.
When she went to Liuzhou, it was Xiaobai and Yan Gui who accompanied her all the way, making her feel less lonely. Later, Yan Gui said that Xiaobai missed her hometown too much, so he asked someone to send Xiaobai back to Liuzhou, and Xiaoqing was given away by Yan Gui.
"Didn't you say you gave Xiaoqing away?" Wei Yang hugged Xiaoqing, her voice filled with tears because of grievance: "Why did it come back?"
"It is sending someone. It came back to deliver a letter. It will rest for a day and then go back." Yan Gui squatted down and wanted to touch Xiaoqing's head. Xiaoqing took two steps and actually dodged.
Looking at his free hand, Yan Gui was a little stunned. This thing actually ignored him.
Wei Yang hugged Xiao Qing and said, "Let's ignore him. He is a bad guy. He actually gave you away."
Yan Gui could only smile bitterly. He didn't want to give it away, not for his future plans.
