The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

"Sister, I have great news for you!" Xiao An Ning ran all the way to Xiao Anya's yard like a happy little bird, eager to share this joy with her. "Marquis Wenxin was punished! From now on, we won't have to see the disgusting sisters of the Song family at the palace banquets anymore..."

Seeing her sister so excited, Xiao Anya couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile: "Haha, run slower. Look at you, you're out of breath and sweating. How can you be so happy..." Her voice was as warm as the spring breeze, always gentle.

Xiao Anning was so excited that she danced with joy: "Of course I'm happy! The Song sisters are just like annoying flies, so annoying... By the way, sister, what were you busy with just now?" She blinked her bright big eyes and asked curiously.

Xiao Anya gently stroked the unfinished handkerchief in her hand and replied softly, "I'm embroidering a handkerchief for you." Her words were full of love and affection for her sister.

"Wow, thank you, sister!" Xiao Anning happily took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully. She saw that the pattern on the handkerchief was exquisite and the needlework was delicate and meticulous, which obviously took a lot of thought. She couldn't help but sighed: "Sister, your embroidery is so beautiful. I also want to learn embroidery. Can you teach me?"

Hearing her sister's sudden request, Xiao Anya looked up with a little surprise: "Oh? You want to learn embroidery? This is really a rare thing. However, embroidery requires patience and carefulness. Are you really interested?" There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, but more of it was concern for her sister.

"Mom always asks me to do things a girl should do. Sister, please be kind and teach me..." Xiao An Ning shook Xiao Anya's arm and pleaded in a delicate voice.

Xiao Anya was a little dizzy, but seeing her sister so cute, she couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I'll teach you. How about starting with the simplest embroidered handkerchief? Let's do the simplest pattern first. Bihe, go get two more handkerchiefs and needles and thread."

When Xiao Anning heard this, she clapped her hands happily and said, "That's great! Thank you, sister! I will definitely study hard!"

After a while, Bihe took out the necessary items and placed them on the table. Xiao Anya picked up a handkerchief, smoothed it gently, and said to Xiao Anning: "Sister, look, this handkerchief is where we are going to embroider. First, we need to pass the thread through the eye of the needle, and then..."

Xiao Anya demonstrated to Xiao An Ning as she spoke. Her movements were light and graceful, and her fingers moved flexibly between the needle and thread, as if she was performing a beautiful dance.

Xiao Anning stared wide-eyed, watching her sister's every move intently, afraid of missing any details. She carefully picked up the needle and thread and tried the method her sister said.

At the beginning, Xiao Anning's hands were a little clumsy and she couldn't get the thread through the eye of the needle smoothly. But she didn't get discouraged. Instead, she tried again and again and finally succeeded!

"Wow! I did it!" Xiao Anning shouted excitedly.

Xiao Anya encouraged with a smile: "Great, An Ning! Next, we will start embroidering patterns. You can choose your favorite pattern, such as a small flower, a bird, etc."

Xiao Anning thought about it and decided to embroider a small plum blossom. She carefully drew the outline of the plum blossom, and then filled it with color little by little with needle and thread.

As time passed, Xiao Anning's handkerchief gradually took shape. Although it was not delicate enough, it could be barely seen as a flower.

Xiao Anning pouted her lips, looked at the handkerchief in her hand with a worried look on her face, and muttered, "Sister, this is really too difficult! Look at what I embroidered, it's so ugly..." There was a hint of frustration and helplessness in her eyes.

Xiao Anya smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked her sister's hair, and comforted her softly: "How could that be? An Ning, this is your first time trying embroidery. It's already very good to be able to embroider like this! As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. As long as you practice more, you will definitely be able to embroider better and better. So, don't be discouraged, keep working hard, believe in yourself, take your time, you will definitely be able to embroider more beautiful works..."

"That's right. The early bird catches the worm. I'll go back to practice right now. It's just embroidery. I don't believe I can't learn it!" Xiao An Ning said in a firm tone, and quickly took several pieces of supah, needles and thread and other items from Bihe, and then left like lightning.

Seeing her sister's anxious expression, Xiao Anya couldn't help laughing: "This little girl is really impatient... Alas."

After Xiao An Ning entered the Ningyuan, she immersed herself in embroidery without saying a word, which stunned Xiao Tao beside her. "Miss, why are you suddenly interested in needlework?"

"On a daily basis, I know nothing except wielding swords and guns. I used to think that I was an excellent martial artist, but after seeing how powerful Captain Su was, I realized that I was far inferior... I must have something to show off... Otherwise, it would make me look terrible..." Xiao An Ning muttered.

Xiao Tao's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was full of surprise and said, "How could that be? Miss, you are of such a noble status, and you are beautiful, lively, cute and kind. Who dares to say that you are not good?"

Xiao Anning showed a rare lack of confidence. She sighed softly and murmured to herself, "But apart from this identity, I don't seem to have any other outstanding features. There are countless noble daughters in the capital..." Since she realized her feelings for Su Lun, she became a little flustered. He is so outstanding, will he like her? Will she feel that she is too naive? At this moment, the little girl who was just beginning to fall in love was completely immersed in her thoughts. The movement of her hands did not stop. In a moment, her fingertips were pierced by the needle.

"Oh!" Xiao An Ning cried out in surprise. She watched helplessly as the handkerchief she had worked so hard to embroider was stained with bright red. She felt so distressed that she muttered aggrievedly, "My handkerchief..."

Seeing this, Xiao Tao reluctantly advised: "Miss, it's already this late, stop thinking about the handkerchief, your hands are bleeding..."

Xiao Anning said somewhat frustratedly: "Xiao Tao, am I really too stupid? I can't even do such a simple thing..." Her voice was full of loss.

Xiao Tao quickly comforted her, "How could that be, Miss? It's always difficult to learn anything at first. When I first started learning, I often pricked my hands! You are doing very well now, better than many people. Moreover, with your status, it doesn't matter even if you can't learn these skills. You don't need to rely on these to prove yourself."

Xiao Anning raised her lips slightly, revealing a light smile, and said softly: "Xiao Tao, thank you so much! It's all my fault for being too anxious, but it doesn't matter, failure is the mother of success, try a few more times and you will definitely succeed..." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Anning picked up another handkerchief and began to embroider it carefully. Xiao Tao was shocked by her serious look, and she muttered to herself: Why is the lady like a different person? This focused look, as if she was completely immersed in her own world, was very different from her usual quirky and mischievous image.

When Mrs. Xiao heard that her second daughter was learning needlework, she couldn't help but feel a little bit unbelievable. With doubts in her heart, she slowly walked towards Ningyuan, wanting to find out. When she saw her daughter concentrating on embroidery, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but reveal a doting smile on her face.

"This girl finally has some self-awareness as a girl! It's rare to see her doing something so calmly and attentively." Mrs. Xiao murmured softly, her eyes full of relief, then she turned around and left silently.
