Only this green, not disappointing the spring

After Mrs. Lu left with the child with a look of pain on her face, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but look at Baili Nanqing and asked:

"Mother, can we separate and live our own lives? My second uncle is narrow-minded, and my second aunt is jealous and selfish. It's really exhausting to be entangled with such a family."

After getting to know each other for a period of time, Shangguan Qingyue had a general understanding of the situation of her second uncle's family.

Second uncle Shangguan Zheng was spoiled by his family when he grew up, but when he grew up, he found that he was inferior to his eldest brother in every way. Even if his parents were partial to him, he missed many opportunities because he was not the eldest son in the family.

How could he not feel resentful? It was precisely because of this that Shangguan Zheng gave people a gloomy and distant feeling.

In addition, although Lu came from a scholarly family, her family considered themselves noble and "regarded money as dirt". It is conceivable that when she married into the Shangguan family, the dowry her family sent was barely acceptable.

The family's life was far less comfortable than that of the first wife, and their official position was not as high as that of the first wife. As time went by, this person tended to get stuck in a rut, and gradually developed shady thoughts deep in his heart.

Baili Nanqing already knew all this.

But 'don't divide the family while the parents are still alive', this rule was passed down from ancestors, even if she lived freely and unbridled she couldn't bring it up easily.

So he could only rub his little daughter's head and comfort her:

"Good boy, your uncle and aunt are not easy to get along with, but they are not bad people. If you don't like them, just have less contact with them in the future, and don't mention the idea of ​​dividing the family."

Shangguan Qingyue was not a person who would wrong herself, so she said directly:

"Then if Second Aunt or Third Cousin comes to my Panguiyuan again, can I refuse to see them? Since we all hate each other, there is no need to pretend to get along well, right?"

Tsk, she is indeed her daughter, she is so straightforward in dealing with people! Baili Nanqing was very pleased and naturally did not object.

She changed the subject and said:

"How is the renovation of your dessert shop going? If you need any help from your mother, just let me know. We are not short of money, so we will choose the best for everything."

Shangguan Qingyue: It feels so good to hug someone’s thigh!

The two Baili brothers were responsible for the repair of the shop. In order to satisfy their little cousin, they watched the craftsmen work almost all day long and did all the purchasing themselves.

Now the shop has temporarily stopped business, and more than 20 craftsmen have been working from dawn to dusk, and have completed most of the work.

During that time, Baili Nanqing went there once and felt that the place was still a little small, so she simply spent a large sum of money to buy the shop selling rouge and powder next door.

With more room to display his talents, Shangguan Qingyue was in a good mood. He re-drew the blueprint overnight and handed it to the craftsman.

She decided to move the kitchen directly in front of the public, and built a half-meter-high wall with colored glaze so that guests could watch the food preparation process at will.

In order to give people a sense of being in nature, all the sofas in the store are covered with ash-green fabric on the outside and stuffed with soft cotton on the inside, making people want to take them home after sitting on them.

The table is made of natural wood stumps, which have only been simply polished and painted with tung oil to preserve the original appearance of the stump to the greatest extent possible.

The table is divided into two-seater and four-seater, separated by a screen embroidered with green mountains and waters, strange rocks and bamboos, and rural fields.

The most mysterious thing is that there is water flowing in the store!

You have to know that the store is located on Chang'an Avenue, the most prosperous street in the capital. It is surrounded by houses and streets, and there is no possibility of springs or streams.

There is a tiger head-shaped porcelain embedded in the wall at the corner of the roof, and water flows out of the tiger's mouth and then pours down. Below it are long stone troughs, which descend in steps.

The water falls from a high place, flows through the trough for a while, and then falls into the next trough. The sound of the water hitting the stone surface is similar to the sound of stream water hitting pebbles.

The water flows in from the south and out from the north, which is very interesting.

The brothers Baili Jinheng and Baili Jinlin naturally knew the secret. They admired their little cousin very much and their love for her was even stronger.

Even Baili Jinheng, who is usually taciturn, seems to have endless things to say every time he sees Shangguan Qingyue.

……

Five days later, it was Shangguan Song's day off, and it was also the day Shangguan Qingyue went to Xuanyuan Yan's zoo to keep her appointment.

Shangguan Song was naturally happy to accept the request of his most beloved sister to accompany her for an outing in the suburbs.

He even felt a little secretly happy in his heart, because Shangguan Lan was still studying at the Imperial Academy and couldn't go with them, so he, as a brother, finally had the chance to be alone with his younger sister.

However, things did not go as planned. Just before the two siblings were about to leave, Shangguan Song suddenly had to go to the Ministry of Justice to deal with an urgent matter, commonly known as "overtime". The responsibility of accompanying Shangguan Qingyue on the trip fell on the two Baili brothers.

Since they were cousins, it would be inappropriate for Shangguan Qingyue to be the only girl there. So, Shangguan Yunxin was dragged out of the martial arts training ground by Baili Nanqing and went with her sister.

Shangguan Qingyue, who was always grateful, secretly sent someone to send a letter to Fu Qiuyang, and the original group of two people and one wolf became four people and one wolf.

Bai Er ran back to the zoo as fast as he could, walked up to Xuanyuan Yan who was feeding raw meat to his pet, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Uh, how should he report this to his master?

That little ancestor brought two young and handsome boys today, and they are not her brothers? Or: Master, two of your rivals came today?

Tsk, he was afraid that after he finished speaking, he would be punished to clean the zoo for a month.

"Tell me, what strange thing happened to you? It seems like you are about to get internal injuries."

Bai Er scratched his head vigorously, hesitated for a long time, and finally answered truthfully:

"Master, I just realized that the people who came with Miss Shangguan today should be her two cousins..."

The chicken leg that was supposed to be thrown far away only flew half the distance due to the sudden force loss and fell to the ground. The golden tiger bared its teeth and shook its tail vigorously a few times before turning around and running towards the chicken leg.

"cousin."

Xuanyuan Yan repeated these two words in his mouth and snorted coldly. This name makes people feel uncomfortable! He has been entangled by his cousin for many years, and he still doesn't know what shame is.

He handed the meat basin to the servant, picked up a strange-looking cat, and walked towards the house next to the zoo.

Bai Er was left with a look of astonishment, not knowing how to react. Could it be that he had misunderstood, and the master only had a teacher-student relationship with that little ancestor?

But what teacher would love his students so much? He would let the top spy hang around a little girl all day and report every little thing to him.

In such a short time, his originally fair complexion had almost turned into charcoal. His reputation as the 'Jade-faced Flying Knight' in the martial arts world had long been in name only!
