It's useless even if Xin Zhixia is angry.

Taozi couldn't get the comb back.

He can't comb his hair.

He could only stare at Xiao Ting vigilantly with his eyes wide open.

However, Xiao Ting didn't care about his look at all. He stood behind Xin Guoguo and combed her hair gently and carefully.

Xin Guoguo calmly looked at herself in the mirror, Xiao Ting behind her, and her brother standing not far away.

In this life, unless something unexpected happens, these will be two of the three most important men in her life.

Another one is daddy.

Thinking of her father, Xin Guoguo smiled gently.

These days, Uncle Lu takes my father to the Ministry of Personnel to report on his work every day.

It made Daddy a little afraid of Uncle Lu.

Xiao Ting looked at the little girl's smiling face in the mirror and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

In the past few years, the only time he felt unable to relax was when he was at the Xin family.

Grandpa is taciturn, while grandma is strong but protective.

A responsible eldest uncle, a smart second uncle, and a very reliable third uncle.

The loving eldest aunt, the second aunt who is a bitch but loves her children, and the gentle third aunt.

And his good friends.

Thinking of these people, Xiao Ting felt that the boredom of staying alone in the capital city all these years had been alleviated.

Comb the little girl's hair.

His nimble fingers tied her hair into a bun.

As if performing a magic trick, Xiao Ting took out an exquisite jade hairpin from his sleeve and inserted it into Xin Guoguo's bun.

"Okay, our Guo'er is so beautiful." Taking a step back and looking at it carefully, Xiao Ting was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

Xing Guoguo turned her head towards the mirror and nodded with satisfaction:

"Yeah, that's good, but where did this hairpin come from? I don't think I have such a hairpin."

It was a completely white hairpin with a magnolia flower carved on the end.

The hairpin looks very elegant.

Xing Guoguo looks pretty, but I wouldn’t say I like her that much.

She is a dragon.

Even though I like furry things, it can’t change my love and fascination for shiny things.

Xiao Ting looked at the mirror with a smile:

"I bought it together with the bracelet. I thought it suited you very well, so I bought them both. How is it? Do you like it?"

Xing Guoguo nodded: "I like it."

Who wouldn't like receiving a gift? "But I would like it more if it was made of pure gold."

She grinned, looking harmless.

Xiao Ting smiled helplessly and pinched her nose: "Little money-grubber!"

Xing Guoguo snorted.

But he didn't object.

Seeing this, Xin Zhixia coughed lightly and said, "Well, it's getting late, Ting, you should go back."

Go now!

Don't get in his way!

Xiao Ting looked at the sky, and although he was very reluctant, he could only nod:

"It's time to go indeed."

Then he turned to Xin Guoguo and said,

"I'm a little busy these days, Guo'er, don't be angry. After the Wanshou Festival, I'll accompany you to go around, okay?"

He has been taking some time off from his busy schedule these days.

I can't stay in the Xin family for long.

Xin Guoguo wanted to say that she was not angry.

It's not like she's alone.

But he still nodded: "Okay, I get it, you go ahead."

Ah!

You cannot discourage the other party's enthusiasm.

Take advantage!

Seeing that there was indeed nothing unusual on her face, Xiao Ting felt relieved, yet at the same time, he felt a sense of loss that he couldn't explain:

"Then we'll meet on your birthday?"

"Okay. See you at the birthday party."

Xin Guoguo gestured goodbye to him with the lucky cat gesture.

Xiao Ting was touched by her cuteness. He smiled, said goodbye to the brother and sister, and left the Xin family.

At night, the Xin family gathered together for dinner.

At the dinner table, Xin Sanlang and Yang Sanniang asked the siblings about their life in the capital, and they were all very happy.

The Wanshou Festival is coming soon.

Early in the morning, the whole family started to pack up.

Dress up, change clothes, prepare birthday gifts, and all other matters related to the trip.

Yang Sanniang was busy all the time.

Xin Guoguo was beside her, also busy running around.

Xin Sanlang and his son have already changed into court robes.

They originally wanted to help, but ended up causing more trouble. In the end, Yang Sanniang sent them directly to the front hall, and told them to sit and wait.

The father and son sat in the front hall, staring at each other, speechless, speechless...

Later, I didn’t know who sighed first.

The two of them looked at each other and sighed in unison.

Useless is a scholar.

It seems that they both still have a lot to learn when it comes to housework!

Fortunately, there are only four people in the family traveling today, and Yang Sanniang and Xin Guoguo can handle it.

Just after the father and son each had another cup of tea, the mother and daughter also finished their work.

The family then boarded the carriage and headed towards the palace.

There was already a long queue outside the palace gate.

Each family sent servants to line up, and the masters did not stay in the carriages. Instead, they stood beside the carriages, chatting in groups of three or four.

The teams are also arranged according to the rank and status of each family, regardless of morning or evening.

But most low-ranking officials would come early just to establish relationships with high-ranking people.

The Xin family's carriage slowly stopped.

Yang Sanniang took Xin Guoguo off the carriage, and Xin Sanlang also got off the horse with his son.

As soon as the two men got off their horses, someone came over immediately:

"Is that you, Lord Xin? I've heard a lot about you. Is this your son? He is indeed a handsome man with great potential at a young age!"

Xin Sanlang had no impression of the person in front of him at all.

But don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.

He still responded with a salute: "Your Excellency, I am too honored. I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

As soon as the Xin family arrived in the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to pick them up in person, which attracted a lot of attention in the capital.

However, the Xin family could not retrieve the posts from the past few days, so there was no way for others to contact them.

Now that they finally have the chance, how could these people let it go?

Not only Xin Sanlang and his son, but also Yang Sanniang and Xin Guoguo were surrounded by a group of ladies.

No matter whether you know each other or not, you will start with a greeting.

The identities of these people were unknown and they could not be offended. Although Yang Sanniang was impatient, she had to deal with them patiently.

Instead, Xin Guoguo was hiding aside and taking a break.

Those ladies would not say too much to an unmarried girl like her, but they gave her a chance.

As for the ladies, most of them have their own social circles.

This person who suddenly came in from a small place, due to their own upbringing, they couldn't say anything bad to her, but they also wouldn't get too close to Xin Guoguo.

This gave Xin Guoguo more free time.

She looked around bored.

She had attended countless such banquets in her long life.

To be honest, it's really boring.

There were people all around me dressed in gorgeous clothes, and everyone had a perfect smile on their face. Even if what they said was sarcastic, they were still smiling.

She couldn't tell from the faces that seemed to be talking happily which ones were sincere and which ones were just perfunctory.

I'm too lazy to watch it.

Everyone is wearing a mask, it's really boring.

She simply stopped looking and stood on tiptoe, staring in the direction of the palace gate, waiting for someone to call them in.

But at this moment, she inadvertently turned her head and noticed a young man in gorgeous clothes standing next to a carriage not far away.

He was smiling and talking to the person next to him.
