The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating
Chapter 14 Flying a Kite
"How can it not be a good thing? Madam sent Granny Song to deliver it personally. Besides the eldest young master and young lady, who else receives such treatment?!"
Liu Yun was overjoyed, his expression one of great pride.
"Our young lady is now deeply favored by the old lady and the madam! We servants have more influence when we speak outside. Before, when we scolded those clumsy girls, they would always talk back, but now they are all respectful and eager to please."
Qiu Yue laughed and said, "You're right. Our Second Miss is like a celestial being; no one dislikes her."
Liu Yun's eyes widened, and she agreed, "What you said is well said. Thinking about it carefully, it makes perfect sense."
"Alright, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll punish you by making you eat all those extra boxes of spring pancakes from the kitchen," Li Anqi said.
"After eating those boxes of spring pancakes, Qiuyue and I are afraid we won't need to eat for several days. Miss, you should save them and enjoy them slowly."
After Liu Yun finished speaking, he and Qiu Yue burst into laughter.
"Find a fight."
Li Anqi couldn't suppress a smile and casually picked up a melon seed from the plate and threw it at Liuyun.
Liu Yun hurriedly dodged with a smile.
Zhilan had just returned from delivering the handkerchief.
"Liuyun Qiuyue, go to the storeroom and ask if the satin for making new clothes for the Second Miss this year has arrived."
Liu Yun and Qiu Yue responded and left the room.
Seeing that no one was around, Zhilan felt relieved and spoke with Li Anqi.
“Miss, I was just delivering a handkerchief to Granny Song when I saw Aunt Guizhi from Madam Zhao’s room come to deliver silver notes to Granny Song. She said it was money from the sale of several pawnshops that Madam Zhao had ordered. After the two of them finished talking, I waited for quite a while before delivering the handkerchief.”
Li Anqi pondered for a while, then asked Zhilan, "What were their expressions like when they were talking?"
"She seems to be sneaking around, a little nervous, as if afraid of being overheard," Zhilan said.
Li Anqi seemed to be deep in thought.
"Don't tell anyone about this yet."
"Mm." Zhilan nodded.
Li Anqi took out two taels of silver from his monthly allowance and placed them in Zhilan's palm.
"Miss?"
"This is to repay you."
Li Anqi still remembered the last time Zhilan used her private money to exchange for copper coins.
"This servant is willing to spend money on Miss."
Zhilan said she wanted to return the money to Li Anqi, but Li Anqi gripped her hand even tighter.
“Aunt Zhilan, you will get married in the future, so it’s always better to have more money on hand.”
Zhilan knelt down and said calmly.
“If I wanted to get married, I would have gotten married long ago. I originally wanted to serve the old lady for the rest of my life, but now that I have come to the Second Miss’s place, I am fortunate enough to receive her affection. I am extremely grateful. I am willing to stay by the Second Miss’s side for the rest of my life and will not go anywhere else.”
Zhilan's words were sincere, and Li Anqi was slightly moved. He helped her up.
"Marriage is preordained by heaven. I won't force anyone to stay. If you ever change your mind, Auntie, just let me know."
Zhilan nodded, tears welling in her eyes, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
In February, with the gentle spring breeze, Master Jiang had some family matters to attend to and took a day off.
Li Anshu wanted to take advantage of the holiday to invite everyone to fly kites in the back garden.
As a result, Li Anxiu declined due to being tied up with official business, Li Baoqin directly said she couldn't come, and Li Ancai, who had originally agreed, didn't come for some unknown reason.
In the end, only Li Anqi, Li Anshu, and Li Anhua were left flying kites.
Li Anqi's kite is a blue phoenix with flowing ribbons on its tail, making it very lively.
Li Anshu's kite is a peony and swallow design, which is playful and cute.
Ang Lee's kite is a dragon-eye fish, fiery red with two big eyes, and has an endearing, simple appearance.
In modern times, Li Anqi often took his younger brother to fly kites on the riverbank when he was a child, and he was quite skilled at it.
Her record was that she used two spools of kite string.
The kite was so small it was almost invisible, like a grain of rice. You were practically being pulled along by it, and the string was impossible to reel in.
She had no choice but to let the kite fly away, and she felt heartbroken for more than a week afterward.
Before long, the blue phoenix in Li Anqi's hand soared into the sky, flying so high that it was almost invisible.
"As expected of my elder sister, she can even fly kites so high and far. No wonder the old lady and madam like her more and more!" Li Anshu said with a smile.
The kite painted by Ang Lee is crooked and wobbly, as if it's about to fall.
Upon hearing Li Anshu's words, she suddenly threw the kite reel in her hand to the ground.
"I'm not playing anymore," Li Anhua said sullenly.
Without the pull, the dragon-eye fish wobbled and suddenly floated to the ground.
"What's wrong with Fourth Sister?" Li Anqi asked.
“Since this kite can’t fly anyway, it’s better not to fly at all,” Li Anhua said, frowning.
Li Anshu laughed and said, "If Fourth Sister wants her kite to fly high, why not try flying this one from your older sister! I just let her play with it!"
"No need. I'm not the second sister. Even if I had the sister's kite, I might not be able to fly as high as her."
Li Anhua's expression was solemn. After speaking, he turned and left.
Li An's character, Wen Qian, a close maid, somehow found the courage to kick the kite in a fit of pique.
