Chapter 203 Dad is Coming Back

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the market is also very lively. There are a wide variety of New Year goods, such as Spring Festival couplets, peach charms, door god statues, etc. Many people are rushing to buy them to decorate their homes and welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Even the waiter in the store smiled brighter. Shu Xiaoxiao and the others discussed that the New Year was coming soon, so they had to act as soon as possible. It would be more difficult to do it if they lost time. It would be best to resolve it before the New Year. They should send people to watch the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery twelve hours a day. As long as Zhong Yongjie was alone, they would take action immediately, and they could have a good New Year afterwards.

Otherwise, if they only think about this matter, they won't be able to celebrate the New Year well. It has to be resolved as soon as possible. After that, the few of them ate and drank their fill, and then went back to their respective homes with the waiter's farewell.

The mansion was also very busy. They had to prepare New Year's goods and various items needed for the New Year in advance, clean the house, decorate the mansion, buy new clothes, prepare New Year's goods and food needed for the New Year, and so on. There were many tedious things that kept the several hostesses in the mansion busy.

There is also the Yongle Earl's Mansion, where Shu Xiaoxiao is the hands-off boss. Even if Shu Xiaoxiao doesn't live there, they can't just ignore everything. The hardworking mother and sisters-in-law have to go there to decorate the mansion. There is only one master, Shu Xiaoxiao, in the Yongle Earl's Mansion, and he won't stay in the mansion for the New Year, so decorating is much simpler. Mother and sister-in-law can solve the problem with just one trip.

I wanted to teach Shu Xiaoxiao, but Shu Xiaoxiao listened to them for two days and ran away when she saw them.

What dishes to eat every day during the New Year, what kind of new clothes the master of the mansion should buy, the layout of each courtyard, the New Year gifts, even what kind of screens to use in the rooms and what patterns to use on clothes had to be discussed, as well as the rewards, clothes, and graces prepared for the servants. Shu Xiaoxiao was overwhelmed by what she heard, and she ran away after listening for two days. This was more troublesome than memorizing the lessons.

In fact, it wasn't so busy in previous years. We just followed the specifications of previous years, and even if there were some changes, there weren't many. But now we have received the confirmed news that Dad and second brother are coming back, so aren't we all excited? The house is busy as hell. We want to replace everything with new ones to make it more festive, and we even want to decorate the blue bricks on the road.

Shu Xiaoxiao heard the news when she returned home. Seeing the excitement of her family, she felt a little excited, but more confused. She felt that she could not remember what her father and second brother looked like.

When she first came back, she actually felt a little unfamiliar with her mother, elder brother and the people in the mansion. Otherwise, she would not have gone to the academy first when she came back. After all, she was still a little timid.

But later, her mother and elder brother became very concerned when they saw her, with a look of heartache in their eyes. Both mother and son liked to give her silver. When they met for the first time, they gave her thousands of silver without hesitation.

Shu Xiaoxiao calculated that one thousand taels was equivalent to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in modern times. In addition to the money, he also took great care of her in life. Just imagine giving you money, a large sum of money, and being especially nice to you. If it were you, would you be able to be unfamiliar with him?

Someone who is willing to spend money on you doesn't necessarily love you, but someone who is unwilling to spend money on you definitely doesn't love you. Shu Xiaoxiao felt that her mother and elder brother were quite suitable for this statement, so in this situation, she adapted when she returned to the General's Mansion and directly treated the General's Mansion as her own home.

The unfamiliar feeling disappeared before she could even come to her senses. Now that her father and second brother were coming back, she suddenly felt some awkward emotions.

After she came to Daning, she had only seen her father twice, and each time she only stayed for two days before leaving. Now it has been more than three years. It's not that she doesn't want them to come back, but she just doesn't know how to face them.

Will they feel that she is too rebellious, too chauvinistic, or too flamboyant?

Ye Xue Ning saw her daughter's confusion, took Shu Xiaoxiao's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, your father loves you the most. In order to see you, a horse died before."

Even when my husband came back before, he didn't stay in the mansion for long because of the war on the border. In order to see his daughter, time was even more urgent. He only dealt with urgent matters in Kyoto and rushed to Qinglian Village. He was worried that his daughter would forget him. Even the emperor said that he worked too hard and gave him a few more days of vacation.

When Shu Xiaoxiao heard the phrase "pao shima", she immediately remembered that her father looked very tired during the only two times they met before. She couldn't remember clearly why he said so, but she remembered that she felt a little distressed when she saw her father looking so exhausted.

Thinking that he was his father after all, he prepared a lot of ginseng pills for him, which were made by simply making them with water soaked with ginseng.

The grown man was so excited that he collected the ginseng pills as if they were treasures.

Thinking of that scene, Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly looked forward to her father's return. He...should love her more than her elder brother, right?

Her modern father is a man who dotes on his child. When she was five or six years old, she would grab her father's hair and sit on his neck to play. If she wanted to buy something, her father would secretly buy it for her as long as her mother disagreed. When her mother blamed her, it was her father who stood in front of her. Later, all the hair in the front of her father fell out, and her mother said it was because she and her brother sat on her father's neck when they were young.

When she first came, she was quite grateful that she could not live with her original parents, because she had her own parents and didn't know how to face them. But later she gradually figured it out. She just had a pair of parents who loved her.

Just like if someone else traveled through time and space and became her, she would hope that person would treat her parents as their own parents and would not want her to go to her parents and tell them the truth about her travel through time.

It would be fine if they discovered it themselves, but what is your purpose in telling them about it? Is it to make them feel uncomfortable, sad, and helpless?

Shu Xiaoxiao feels that after traveling through time, no matter who she was before, she is now Shu Xiaoxiao. She must shoulder the responsibilities of being Shu Xiaoxiao and live her own life within a controllable range.

She will do her best to be herself, respect and be filial to her parents, make her family happy, try her best to integrate into the family and make herself happy. She hopes that if someone travels through time and space into her body, they will do the same, instead of telling them: I am not your daughter, which would make them panic and unable to change.

"Well, then I hope daddy will come back soon." Shu Xiaoxiao came back with a pious look on her face.

"I've asked around. Dad and the others left some time ago. Judging from the speed of dad and my second brother, they will be back soon." Shu Tingyu explained.

Shu Xiaoxiao pulled her eldest brother's arm and whispered, "Brother, if Dad knew that I went to the academy, would he be angry?"

Shu Tingfei touched his sister's head and said, "Now you know you are afraid. Don't worry, Dad will definitely not be afraid. Dad loves you the most. If Dad is really angry, you have your big brother to protect you."
