The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 445 Buying Tangyuan

It was already winter, and the weather in Nanhe Town was cold enough. Little Ayu was overjoyed to receive the cloth.

I originally intended to take these fabrics home and give them to my second aunt. She has excellent craftsmanship and can make three outfits from one piece of fabric.

She won't use it to make clothes anymore. Instead, she'll cut it up and make a dozen or so soft cloth waistbands, filled with warm cotton from the mountains, for the whole family to use.

Tangyuan was carrying the cloth, while Xiao Ayu was holding a roughly made wooden box containing scraps of cloth and hair accessories given to her by the shopkeeper.

Little Ayu struggled to open the box while reaching out her little hand to take out the hair accessory.

They took out a light blue one, shaped like a magnolia flower.

"Sister Tangyuan, this suits you very well! Can you try it on for me?" Little Ayu stood on tiptoe, wanting to put the hair flower on Tangyuan's head.

Tangyuan dodged away, pursed her lips and said, "Little master, it would be a waste for me to wear the hair flower. You can keep it for yourself."

She doesn't really like these things either.

Although her owner and family were very kind to her and didn't let her get cold or hungry, she still needed to know her place.

This isn't the kind of hair accessory she should be wearing now. She should wear it when she's saved up enough money to buy one without feeling bad.

It's like a hen tearing off a phoenix's tail and trying to pretend to be a phoenix; there's no need for that.

Little Ayu didn't care about any of that: "You look good in it. I just asked the shopkeeper to give it to you on purpose. This color suits you perfectly."

Because Xiao Ayu noticed that Tangyuan's hair accessory hadn't been changed for several days.

Unlike her, her second aunt was skillful, and her mother would make her new ones from time to time, and her father would take a box with him when he went out.

Not to mention the other family members, whenever they see something cheap, practical, and good-looking on the street, they can't help but buy it for her.

Sometimes, they'll grit their teeth and buy something expensive just because it looks good.

She simply felt that Ayu would look better with these things. She changed them every day, sometimes even several times a day.

But Tangyuan Sister doesn't. Although Tangyuan Sister is at home, she doesn't have her family. She must be sad.

"It's you again, you little brat? Oh, bringing your little master out to town? Oh dear, trying to trick your little master into giving you a hair ornament? That's Su Jin's, isn't it? You're not worthy of her."

As they were walking home, a man suddenly appeared, followed by two servants and a young page.

The person looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he was clearly a teenager, he was dressed in dark purple clothes made of stiff fabric. He had a gold belt around his waist and dark blue boots on his feet. His attire was rather rustic.

Tangyuan immediately stepped forward, shielding Xiao Ayu behind him. When she looked at the newcomer, her gaze was very calm: "Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Qi. I will remember it."

The boy called Young Master Qi chuckled and said, "If you really want to thank me, then come and be my maid. You didn't agree last time I asked you, which made you miss a good opportunity. My mother has already arranged a new concubine for me, and there's no place for you."

Tangyuan is only 11 years old now, but she already knows what "tongfang" means.

Little Ayu tilted her head back, her two little pigtails peeking out from under Tangyuan's cover, and whispered, "Sister Tangyuan, what is a 'tongfang'?"

【Cough cough cough!】 Tuanzi had just looked up the meaning of this word in the "Ancient and Modern Characters Dictionary" and quickly pretended to cough.

Red Hare was also ready, holding a pebble in its hand, its gaze fixed on the boy's mouth.

If that boy is impolite and speaks carelessly, he'll inevitably get his mouth swollen from a beating.

"Children should mind their own business," the boy said loudly.

Red Hare's fingers, which were gripping the pebble, relaxed slightly.

Unexpectedly, little Ayu raised her chin, extremely unconvinced: "I'm not a child, I'm already four years old!"

"I don't care if you're four or five. I've taken a liking to your maid. Go back and talk to your parents, and have them sell her to me. I'll pay double what you paid for her." The boy said with a smile, "You can use the extra money to buy better fabric, or even candy."
