New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Although the Xiao family is not a wealthy family, several generations of the Xiao family have worked hard in Zhejiang. They are kind-hearted and have always enjoyed helping others. Sometimes after they have rescued others, wealthy people will also give them some land and shops as gifts, which are the kind that cannot be refused.

As a result, the Xiao family has unknowingly become a wealthy and powerful family. Although this house is not extremely luxurious, it is decorated in a very quiet and elegant way. One can tell at a glance that it is expensive, and one can also admire the owner's elegant character.

Hongzhan followed Xiao Zhihang to the reception room. Along the way, he secretly looked at the environment of the Xiao Mansion and the attitude of the servants towards them. He secretly wondered what kind of person Xiao Zhihang was, what kind of character and conduct he had. Seeing that he took him around the mansion without any hesitation, he thought that he should be just like him, without any scheming.

Seeing Xiao Zhihang suddenly pause and look back at him with some doubt, Hongzhan was also very curious and couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Zhihang stretched out his hand and touched his nose. How should he explain? Explain that he had just heard a big news, that his son's future father-in-law came to his house?

"Ahem, it's nothing. I'm just curious and want to know whether Brother Hong...Brother Hong is here in Zhejiang with his wife and daughter to do business?"

He tentatively mentioned his wife and daughter, wanting to know some information about his future in-laws.

"It was boring to stay in the imperial city, so I took my wife and daughter to travel around. After all, in the first few years before the child was born, I was guarding the four corners of the country and didn't spend enough time with my wife and children."

When asked about his family, Hongzhan did not hide anything and directly told people about his travels. After all, he loved his wife and children and there was no need to hide the fact that he loved them.

"The prince and princess are so loving. When my daughter Yun'er grows up, I plan to take my wife and children out to see the scenery and travel around."

"Hahaha, it's okay, but if you go out to play, you really have to be careful..."

The two men talked more and more because of their wives and daughters. Their conversations were all about how much they loved their wives and children. Gradually, the two men became closer.

Xiaoyanzi listened to the two of them chatting, and they were all talking about their wives and children. If they knew that they had lost their families, how sad they would be? Thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

[Oh, what a pity. 】

Suddenly hearing his daughter sigh, Xiao Zhihang paused and wanted to know why Yun'er was sighing in her heart and why she said it was a pity.

Now, he has determined that Yun'er is a fairy who knows the future and has come down to earth. He thinks that she knows too many things, and he is somewhat happy in his heart because she can predict things in advance and avoid danger.

While Xiao Zhihang was chatting with Hongzhan, he was anxiously trying to get Yun'er to continue talking about what was a pity, but the girl actually closed her eyes in his arms and began to sleep soundly...

He immediately smiled helplessly and had to suppress the curiosity in his heart that was like a cat scratching.

The child is still young, and Yun'er has not slept for most of the day. Now he is sleepy, and he really has no choice but to ask the wet nurse to come and take the child to have a good rest.

At this time, the two had already arrived at the reception room. Xiao Zhihang asked the prince to sit in the main seat. Hongzhan felt that he was the host, and the two of them were polite to each other. In the end, Hongzhan sat in the main seat, and Xiao Zhihang sat below him.

Xue Yin asked Feng'er to help look after her sister, while she asked people to serve tea and snacks. She also hinted at some things, and seeing that the prince, princess and others might stay for dinner in the evening, she went to the kitchen to arrange dinner.

Not long after, the people sent by Zhuyue invited the princess and the little princess.

The woman in a blue and white double-breasted dress was elegant, with light makeup on her face and a stunning appearance. She was holding the hand of a little girl about three or four years old. The girl was wearing exquisite clothes, had a chubby little face, and had two cute little pigtails on her head. She was quite lively.

When he was led by his mother, he couldn't help but jump up and down, and asked in a baby voice, "Mom, where is Dad? Where is this?"

"Qing'er, be good. Daddy is visiting someone else's house. He invites us to come over. Let's go find Daddy now. I heard that there are two children at his house. You can play with them when the time comes."

Hongzhan's princess, Yun Qingwan, gently lowered her head to coax her daughter. Seeing her staring at her with her big black eyes curiously, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little nose, which made the little girl snort unhappily.

Yun Qingwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and took her child and followed Xiao Mu, the housekeeper who had just returned to the Xiao Mansion, to the reception room.

(Hahaha, here comes Xiao Mu from “The Queen is My Mother”.)

Xiao Mu and Xiao Zhihang are of similar age. He is not very lucky, but he is also unlucky, as he has escaped death several times.

He was an ordinary villager who just knew how to hunt. However, when robbers massacred the village, he happened to go to the mountains and escaped the disaster.

After going down the mountain, Xiao Zhihang, who came after hearing about this, discovered that the two of them worked together to kill the robbers. Afterwards, Xiao Zhihang felt that this man had a good character, so he decided to take him with him and teach him carefully.

The two have known each other for almost ten years. Xiao Mu was the butler trained by Xiao Zhihang, who enabled him to go from an ordinary villager to be able to manage all the affairs of the mansion. Xiao Mu has always respected Xiao Zhihang and his wife, and treated them carefully as if they were his own brother and sister-in-law.

Of course, Xiao Zhihang's family did not treat him unfairly.

When the Xiao family was in trouble, Xiao Mu happened to return to his hometown to visit his parents' graves, which led to the Xiao family being almost wiped out. He was not there at the time. When he heard that something had happened to the Xiao family, he rushed back as fast as he could and finally got there.

So, no matter what, Xiao Mu is lucky, he can just avoid danger every time...

Xiao Mu took the princess and the county lord to the reception room. He knew that they were guests of the great hero Xiao, so he treated them very carefully. He introduced the situation in the mansion to them with a smile all the way, and asked the servants to prepare food suitable for children and some small toys in advance.

Seeing that the housekeepers in the mansion were so considerate, Yun Qingwan became even more curious about the famous sister, Xia Xiao.

When the group walked to the reception room, before they even entered, they heard two grown men laughing loudly, obviously they were having a good conversation.

Xiao Mu cleared his throat first, then raised his voice and said, "The princess and the princess are here."

The two men who were chatting and laughing in the living room heard that the princess had arrived and both stood up to greet her.

"Wanwan, Qing'er, you are here. Come quickly, let me introduce you, this is the hero Xiao we have heard of for a long time, Xiao Zhihang." Hongzhan smiled and took his wife's hand, introduced Xiao Zhihang to his wife, and then introduced Xiao Zhihang, "Brother Xiao, this is my wife, my princess Yun Qingwan, and this is my daughter Qing'er."

"Xiao Zhihang has met the princess and the county lord."

Xiao Zhihang quickly took a step back and greeted the two of them respectfully.

"Master Xiao, there is no need to be so polite. We have heard about your heroic deeds along the way. Since you and my prince are brothers, I will follow my husband and call you Brother Xiao."

Yun Qingwan looked at the unstoppable smile on her husband's face, knowing that he was quite satisfied with the character of the hero Xiao, so she smiled and talked to Xiao Zhihang, indicating that they should just get along as ordinary friends.

Xiao Zhihang smiled and nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's not stand at the door, sister-in-law and princess, come in and sit down."

Qing'er tilted her little head and watched the adults talking and laughing with curiosity. She looked around, but why didn't she see any children of her age?

"Qing'er, come here and call Uncle Xiao."

Hongzhan saw his daughter looking around as if she was looking for someone, so he laughed and picked her up, introducing her to Xiao Zhihang. "This is my daughter Qing'er, haha, she's not any worse than your Yun'er, right?"

"Hello, Uncle Xiao."

Qing'er looked at the handsome man in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she called him in a baby voice, obviously she liked this handsome uncle very much.

Xiao Zhihang first said with a smile, "Hello, Princess Qing." Then he smiled and said to Hongzhan, "I think my Yun'er just hasn't grown up yet, otherwise, she must be as cute and clever as the princess."

Hongzhan was even more satisfied when he saw that Xiao Zhihang did not fawn on him like ordinary ministers did. This was how friends should get along with each other.

"Xiao Mu, go get Feng'er. If Yun'er is awake, bring her here. If she's not awake, let her continue to sleep. And ask Madam to come over."

Xiao Zhihang said a few words to Xiao Mu outside the door, and then asked the guest to sit down.

Qing'er sat on a tall chair, her calves dangling in the air. She pouted her red lips and looked unhappy. Was her mother lying to her? There was no such thing as a little kid.

"Mother, are you lying to Qing'er? There are no children here."

The cute little girl asked her mother in a baby voice, which made the three people in the room couldn't help but smile.

"Qing'er, little friend, don't be anxious, okay? Brother will come over and play with you soon, okay? If you don't like brother, there is still a cute sister."

Xiao Zhihang spoke softly to the little girl. Looking at the bubbling little girl in front of him, he was very happy. This must be the future daughter-in-law that Yun'er mentioned. Oh my, she is so cute, so adorable.

"Me, I like them all. Only children make choices. I want them all."

Qing'er rolled her eyes, then stretched out her chubby little fingers and said excitedly.

This cute look amused several people again.

Yun Qingwan couldn't help but reach out and gently pinched her daughter's face, her eyes full of pampering, and she said softly, "You are so naughty, girl."

Qing'er looked at the adults in confusion, wondering, didn't Uncle Xiao ask her who she liked? She felt that she could play with her brother and her sister, so what was wrong with her?
