Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 725: The Wedding of Five People (1)
Yueyue’s quiet voice drew the attention of both people.
"Girl, what are you laughing at," Dugu Chen stopped teasing his wife and turned to sit on the stool.
Yueyue laughed a few times, coquettishly snuggling into her dad’s embrace, and looked at Dugu Chen with a gleeful smile, "Dad, look at how nice Mom is, she’s thinking about getting you a concubine, why don’t you want one?"
"You little rascal, if you talk nonsense like that, I’ll punish you to embroider a hundred handkerchiefs." This kid really knew how to bring up the worst topic.
"No, I don’t want to embroider handkerchiefs." As soon as Yueyue heard that, she immediately left her dad’s embrace and turned to her mom’s side, her mournful little eyes looking at dad with dissatisfaction.
Feng Xuxu looked helplessly at the father and daughter, shook her head, gouged her husband with her eyes, and turned to glare at her eldest daughter in her arms, "You too, instead of properly learning needlework as a young lady should, you insist on learning how to prepare poison. From now on, every other day, you’ll embroider a handkerchief for me. Starting tomorrow, all my handkerchiefs will be provided by you. Let me make it clear in advance that I only want the ones you embroider." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Seeing her mother use her trump card, Qiqi couldn’t help but laugh secretly, thinking about how Yueyue could still be so smug now. Hehe, later on, I’ll have to take the opportunity to pay her back for always frustrating me when I had to recite books, hmph.
Yueyue’s lips pouted even more, her large eyes looking pitifully at her mom. That tiny needle insisted on painstakingly stitching into the cloth. It was far less relaxing than practicing a set of swordsmanship on her own. She glanced at her dad and saw that he wasn’t really looking at her, then at her mom, who had obviously made up her mind. She glanced towards her big brother and almost passed out in exasperation, only to see him grinning and making faces at her. Her palms itched so badly she wished she could go up and sprinkle him with laughing powder to make him laugh until he’d had enough.
"What’s the matter, is a handkerchief every other day too few for you, to the point where you are speechless?"
’Pfft,’ Qiqi couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
Dugu Chen gave him a sidelong glance and said nothing, but his lips twitched as he struggled to hold back his laughter.
Yueyue shook her hands in horror, "No, Mom, that’s not it, I was just thinking that the embroidery I give to Mom must be, um,..."
"Top quality, there must be no defects, nor can anyone else do it for you, and each one’s pattern must not be the same as any other, Mom is right, isn’t she?" Her voice was soft, with a hint of a smile as she looked at her eldest daughter.
Yueyue saw her mom’s smile was bright and sunny, so why did she feel a chill down her spine? Nevertheless, she foolishly nodded, "Mom must use nothing but the best quality, defective goods can’t possibly catch your eye."
"Hmm~ What else?"
"And... oh, and that I’ll embroider them myself, hehe." Yueyue laughed shyly a few times.
"That’s more like it." She tapped Yueyue’s pristine forehead and smiled indulgently.
Yueyue sulkily withdrew from her mom’s embrace and stood idly to the side, her head drooping and her fingers fiddling with each other.
"My lady, the preparations are almost complete, we can depart at any time."
"No, there’s still one thing left to do before the southern tour can begin," Feng Xuxu replied.
"What’s that?" Dugu Chen looked suspiciously at his wife.
"In the past years, you granted marriage matches for them, but they still haven’t been able to marry. I’m thinking of sorting it all out before the southern tour, to avoid further delay."
Dugu Chen nodded in understanding, "Alright, you decide on the arrangements, but remember not to overtax yourself."
On hearing this, Feng Xuxu felt a warm sensation in her heart and smiled slightly, "Rest assured, I’ll only have to give directions."
