The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 66 Visiting the Su Mansion Again

After two days of hard practice, Xiao Anning's embroidery skills had made amazing progress. When Xiao Anning held two exquisite handkerchiefs with great joy and carefully handed them to Xiao Anya like offering treasures, even Xiao Anya, who was usually calm, could not help but show a surprised expression.

She originally thought that her sister was just acting on a whim, and would only be enthusiastic for a short time and would give up soon. However, she never expected that her sister would not only persevere, but also complete it so well!

"An Ning, I was actually a little worried that you would give up halfway or lose patience, but I didn't expect you to actually do it, and do it so well... I really can't compare to you!"

Hearing her sister's praise, Xiao Anning proudly tossed her hair and said, "Of course! It's just a little needlework, how could it be difficult for a young lady like me?"

Xiao Anya looked at her sister's cute appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Okay, okay, our An Ning is the best at everything! But then again, didn't you vow before that you would become a majestic female general when you grow up? Why are you suddenly interested in embroidery now?"

"Oh, I still want to be a female general! But learning embroidery does not conflict with my dream. Besides, seeing that you are all so talented, I don't want to fall behind..."

"Haha, I didn't expect that our little girl has grown up! In that case, how about trying something more challenging? For example, how about learning to make a beautiful dress?" Xiao Anya suggested with a smile.

"Wow, making clothes! It sounds so interesting. Besides, Daddy's birthday is in just over a month. I can make a piece of clothing for him as a gift. What do you think of this idea, sister?" Xiao Anning asked excitedly, blinking her big eyes.

"Of course it's great! I believe that Dad will feel extremely happy and relieved after receiving the clothes you made by hand." Xiao Anya nodded affirmatively, indicating that she fully supported her sister's idea.

"That's great! Sister, please teach me quickly. I can't wait to start making it." Xiao Anning eagerly grabbed her sister's hand and shook it, her eyes shining with anticipation and excitement.

So the two sisters sat together, Xiao Anya patiently taught her sister how to cut cloth, sew clothes and other skills, while Xiao An Ning listened attentively and practiced every step seriously.

Seeing that Xiao An Ning's originally fair and delicate fingers had been pierced by the needle in several places, with bright red blood constantly oozing out, Xiao Anya couldn't help but frown and comforted her with a distressed look: "An Ning, don't be so anxious, let's take it slowly. Look at your hands, they are almost turning into a little hedgehog! You should take a rest first. Staring at the embroidery cloth all the time is not good for your eyes..."

"Well, okay, sister, I feel a little hungry..." Xiao An Ning said pitifully while gently kneading her tortured fingers and touching her shriveled belly.

Xiao Anya shook her head helplessly, and scolded with a doting smile: "You little greedy cat! Bihe, why don't you bring the snacks over." As soon as the words fell, a maid in green clothes walked in quickly and put a plate of snacks on the table.

"Thank you, Bihe." Xiao Anning thanked her happily, and then she couldn't wait to grab a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth. However, after eating a few bites, she began to feel absent-minded, and her eyes gradually became confused.

Seeing this, Xiao Anya was puzzled and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Don't you usually like to eat this osmanthus cake the most? Why do you look so listless today?"

Xiao An Ning bit her lip and kept silent for a while. After a while, she finally told the truth hesitantly: "Actually... I want to eat taro and sweet potato balls more..."

Xiao Anya raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and asked with a smile, "Oh? Is it really just because you want to eat taro sweet potato balls?"

"Oh, sister, you are so bad! You actually make fun of me!" Xiao An Ning blushed immediately and started to act coquettishly.

"I heard that Captain Su wants to find a military book to study. There are many books in the library. I was just thinking of picking out a few and having someone send them over. I wonder if it would be possible for Miss Second to take a trip?" Xiao Anya said with a sly smile.

"Just leave the errands to me, don't worry, sister. I guarantee I'll get it done." Xiao An Ning patted his chest and made a solemn promise to his sister.

"Bihe, give the book to the second young lady. I know you can't sit still. Go quickly. Be careful on the road." Xiao Anya smiled slightly, then signaled to the maid beside her to take out the book that had been prepared and hand it to Xiao An Ning.

"Thank you, sister!" Xiao An Ning excitedly took the book and put it away. Then she raised her head and said to Xiao Anya with a smile on her face, "Sister, I'll go first."

Before he finished his words, Xiao An Ning ran out like a happy little bird and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Looking at her sister's receding back, Xiao Anya couldn't help but shook her head and sighed helplessly: "This girl is really..."

The customs of the Dashun Dynasty were relatively open, and the restrictions on women were not so strict. Although Su Lun's family background was slightly inferior, he was outstanding in ability and knew how to behave. He was also valued by the prince, so he was a good candidate. However, I hope it's not my sister's wishful thinking...

When the housekeeper hurried over to report Xiao Anning's visit, Su Lun was concentrating on everything in the martial arts training ground, his eyes flashing with excitement. In fact, the so-called martial arts training ground here is more like a simple and rough training place. There are two single and double bars commonly seen in modern times, two plum blossom piles, two climbing nets and several archery targets scattered in the field. Although the conditions are limited, Su Lun is already satisfied with being able to achieve such a level in this era.

Hearing Xiao Anning's arrival, Su Lun slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand and stepped forward to meet him. Today, Su Lun was wearing a neat training suit, and he looked heroic and energetic. Seeing this, Xiao Anning's eyes lit up and asked with concern: "Captain Su, are you practicing? Are your injuries healed?"

Su Lun smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Xiao Er. My injury is not serious. It's just that I may need to wait a few more days to practice. I made some training equipment before and just installed it, so I just went to check it out."

As soon as Su Lun finished speaking, he realized that everyone was still standing straight. He couldn't help but look embarrassed and raised his hand to gently pat his forehead: "Oh! Look, I'm busy talking. Second Miss, please take a seat! Su Zhe, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and make a pot of good tea!"

After saying that, Su Zhe walked over swiftly with a pot of freshly brewed, steaming hot tea, and filled the teacups of Xiao Anning, Xiao Tao and Su Lun in turn. Then he said respectfully, "Miss Xiao Er, Miss Xiao Tao, Captain Su, please have some tea. Oh, by the way, I'll get some fresh fruits over right away." After getting Su Lun's approval, Su Zhe turned around and left, and returned a short while later with a tray filled with all kinds of seasonal fruits.

At this moment, Su Lun's eyes happened to fall on the neatly placed books next to Xiao An Ning, and a trace of confusion suddenly arose in his heart: "Huh? Why did the second young lady bring so many books?" Seeing this, Xiao An Ning pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and explained softly: "I heard that you were looking for classics on military strategies a while ago. It happens that there are many such masterpieces in the library of our general's mansion, so I specially selected a few and brought them here. You can see if they are suitable. If not, the general's mansion has many more, and you can also choose them yourself..."
