Chapter 392: The Xie Family Presents the Crown Prince's Head
"Xiaomi, happy birthday. This is the birthday gift I made for you."
Qin Xiaomi took the box and opened it. Inside the box was a gold bracelet and a silver note. She asked, "Did you make this gold bracelet yourself?"
She picked up the gold bracelet and examined it again and again, but did not find any casting techniques that were familiar to her.
He looked at the box again without giving up... The box looked good, but it was obviously bought from outside to hold gifts, and was not made by Jiang Dalang himself.
"Well, I made it myself. Xiaomi, do you like it?" Jiang Dalang looked at her expectantly and added, "It's not very good, but I will practice more with iron blocks. Next year, I will be able to make you a beautiful and exquisite gold bracelet. The year after that, I will learn to make you a gold hairpin and a gold hairpin..."
Bang!
Qin Xiaomi suddenly smashed the box, interrupting Jiang Dalang's words, which frightened Jiang Dalang: "Xiaomi, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Xiaomi said: "Things in the world change quickly, don't make promises easily, lest you break your promises and get fat."
Then he said, "Look at the portrait."
"Hey." Jiang Dalang looked worried as he carefully accompanied her to look at the portraits of Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin.
But Qin Xiaomi became more and more angry the more she looked at them. She could hardly control herself and wanted to tear up the two paintings...
"Xiaomi, stop it!" Jiang Dalang grabbed her wrist, stopped her movements, and asked, "Xiaomi, what's wrong with you? You seem to be different from before."
When he said this, there was a hint of fear in his eyes... She never tried to hide her abnormality, so at this moment, as a normal childhood friend who didn't know anything about it, he had to question her. This was the only reasonable thing to do.
Qin Xiaomi sneered: "Why, do you think I'm possessed by a ghost?"
The panic in Jiang Dalang's eyes intensified, and he quickly shook his head: "I didn't mean that. Xiaomi is Xiaomi, still as smart and bold as before, and still loves to help us..."
"Okay, the portrait is good, keep painting... Thank you for the birthday gift." Qin Xiaomi picked up the box on the ground, put the gold bracelet in it, picked up the two portraits, and walked away.
Whoosh, the cold wind outside blew away her anger and irritability... Perhaps, she was the only one who was special.
Perhaps, all the grudges have been settled in the previous life.
……
"Xiao Gu Xiaomai, come and look, who is painted here?" Qin Xiaomi didn't want her emotions to affect her family, so she walked into the house with a smile and asked the two little ones to look at the portrait.
The two little ones cried after seeing the portrait.
Especially Qin Xiaogu, who burst into tears: "Dad, Mom, it's Dad and Mom... Sister Xiaomi, thank you, wuwuwu."
His crying made everyone in the family feel sad... Although Xiao Gu usually acts like an adult, he is still a child after all. He will still cry bitterly when he thinks of his parents.
"Xiaogu, cry." Grandma Qin hugged Qin Xiaogu and comforted her grandson with heartache.
Qin Xiaomai was held in Grandpa Qin's arms, crying while looking at the portrait.
But crying makes one sleepy, and the little one fell asleep without realizing it.
The next day, he was so shocked that he hurried to ask Grandma Qin: "Grandma, Xiaomai saw the portraits of Daddy and Mommy yesterday. Was it a dream?"
Seeing his apprehensive look, Grandma Qin smiled and said, "It's not a dream, it's real. The portrait is hanging on the wall on the left side of the main hall. Xiaomai, go and have a look."
After hearing this, Qin Xiaomai ran back to the main hall. After seeing the two portraits, she started to laugh: "Dad and Mom, I am Xiaomai. Dad and Mom are so beautiful."
It’s just that daddy looks too much like the ruffian second uncle.
The little guy was startled and ran to find Qin Xiaomi: "Sister Xiaomi, Sister Xiaomi, is my father serious?"
What?
Qin Xiaomi couldn't help laughing and told him: "Your father is very serious, knows how to fight, and likes to help others. Everyone in our hometown likes your father very much."
Wow, my dad is so nice, he’s not a scoundrel!
Qin Xiaomai felt relieved and ran back to the main room to look at the portrait. …
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Grandma Qin took Jiang Xiaozhu and Qin Xiaomai to Guan's house to teach Grandma Guan how to grow bean sprouts.
"Where did these two lucky dolls come from? They are so cute." Old Madam Guan liked Jiang Xiaozhu and Qin Xiaomai very much. After spending only fifteen minutes to learn how to grow bean sprouts, she took them out to play and fed them delicious food.
They played until after mid-afternoon, when Xu Sanjun and Qin Cunquan sent people to pick them up, and they reluctantly let them go home.
Before leaving, she wanted to give the little ones gifts again. Grandma Qin hurriedly said, "Madam Guan, please don't send any more gifts, otherwise my family will not dare to visit us again."
Jiang Xiaozhu waved her hands and said, "Oh, Grandma Guan, I can't send you anymore. If you send me again, I won't dare to come to play."
"Haha, little girl, your words and actions are so funny." Old Madam Guan pinched her cheeks and said to Grandma Qin, "Okay, I won't send you any gifts this time, but you have to bring the little ones to play more often to add some life to my deserted home."
"Yes." Grandma Qin agreed and took the little ones home.
After seeing the two little babies, Old Lady Guan wanted Guan Shuli to get married and have children even more, so as soon as Guan Shuli returned home, he was scolded by Old Lady Guan.
Guan Shuli had long been exempted from such words urging marriage and childbirth, and only casually echoed a few words to let Madam Guan vent her anger.
However, he asked casually, "Grandma, do you think Qin Wupo looks kind?"
Madam Guan was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "I didn't think it was someone old, why are you asking this suddenly?"
The clerk smiled and said to her, "Grandma, you misunderstood me. I was asking you if you think Qin Wupo has a kind face."
"You little rascal, not only do you not have the courage to tease me, but you also dare to tease me!" Old Lady Guan imitated the country people and started beating me with a broom.
Guan Shuli cooperated very well and fled, which added a lot of liveliness to the house.
……
After the Lantern Festival, the New Year is over and everyone’s life returns to normal.
But after the 20th day of the first lunar month, Qin Xiaomi felt something was wrong. On another delivery day, she asked Steward Xue, "Steward Xue, did the Xue family receive any big news? Why haven't Master Xue, Master Shan, Master Weng, and Steward Yan returned yet?"
How come they don’t come to grab the new dye business just after the New Year? This is so strange!
And Wu Ze Pharmacy also didn't deliver the ordered medicinal materials to her family. What's going on? Are they collectively going to break their promise? !
Manager Xue also found it strange, but said: "I really didn't receive any big news. As for whether the boss has received it, I'm not sure... After all, the capital is quite far away from Tianfu County. Even if there is new news, it will take some time to send it here."
He added, "Master Qin, please wait a little longer. Even if something serious happens, the losses of the new dye business will be shared by our two families."
"Okay, I'll wait a little longer." Qin Xiaomi said as she sent Manager Xue away.
He also asked Jiang Dalang to ask Huang Yanglong if he had received any shocking news.
Huang Yanglong was not sure either: "I haven't received it, but I'm not afraid, because I have something more valuable than gold. Even if the sky falls, I can still live a rich life!"
When Jiang Dalang came back and said this, Qin Xiaomi became jealous... and he was showing off his wealth again, so she really wanted to rob him.
Jiang Dalang comforted her: "Don't worry, Xiaomi. No matter what, our life will not be worse than when we were fleeing from famine."
Haha, these words not only failed to comfort Qin Xiaomi, but instead increased her anxiety.
However, this uneasiness did not last long.
On February 2, the day when the dragon raises its head, shocking news reached Tianfu County...
"Xie Jia, the commander of Jiangnan Prefecture, beheaded the crown prince of Emperor Ningkang and presented his head to Your Majesty. In the second year of Wuxing, Your Majesty wiped out the remnants of Emperor Ningkang in one fell swoop and gained the submission of all the people of Jiangnan Prefecture. Since then, the world has been unified. I hereby issue an edict to grant amnesty to the people and share the joy!"
