Chapter 274: Bully Xiaoxiao
There was no business the next day. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have to wake up early to make snacks, but her biological clock woke her up on time.
She decided to put on her clothes and go to the backyard to train.
Just as she walked out of the house, she saw Su Cheng, who was always asleep until late in the morning, sitting on the small stool, eating a piece of fruit in each hand.
“Dad, so early?”
Su Xiaoxiao greeted him in confusion.
“My daughter is up.” Su Cheng burped. “Sigh, I can’t sleep at the thought that these fruits will spoil if I don’t eat them.”
Beside him was a heavy basket filled with loquats that Dahu had picked from the orchard. They were sweet and juicy.
Dahu had plucked a lot. Deng An had sent it over.
However, the children at home were not interested in fresh loquats. Su Ergou did not like to eat them either, so there were many left.
Su Cheng was someone who had experienced famine. He had grown up hungry and cold and could not stand wasting food.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say, “Stop eating. We’ll have to spend money to treat your stomach if you get sick. ”
She thought for a moment and said to Su Cheng, who was clearly unable to eat anymore, but was still stuffing it into his mouth, “Dad, leave some for me.”
“Alright.” Su Cheng burped again.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Can you give them all to me?”
Su Cheng trembled. “Are you going to throw it away?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “No, I’ll make delicious food.”
Su Xiaoxiao removed the skin and core of the washed loquat. The orange flesh was cut into small pieces and placed into two alms bowls. One alms bowl contained three spoonfuls of rock sugar, and the other only contained one and a half spoonfuls of rock sugar.
She added a small amount of clear water and waited for the rock sugar to melt and marinate into the taste before cooking it in the pot.
Because loquats were prone to oxidation and turning black, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t boil them in an iron pot. Instead, she took out a pair of purple sand jars.
When the soup was simmered over a fire, the entire jar of loquats would be thick.
Five catties of loquat would yield nearly two catties of jam.
This way, the three little ones and Su Ergou would like to eat it.
Su Xiaoxiao kept half of it and divided the other half into two small jars to send to the neighbors at the east end.
It was Deng An who opened the door.
Deng An was surprised to see Su Xiaoxiao.
His first reaction was that she had brought Xiaohu to learn the zither from Young Master. He shuddered and hurriedly looked behind Su Xiaoxiao.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he didn’t see the little guy.
At this moment, the sound of vomiting came from the house. An uncomfortable expression flashed across Deng An’s face.
He stole a glance at Su Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the other party’s face, he was slightly relieved.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is your young master feeling unwell?”
Deng An hesitated for a moment and said, “Young Master… will be like this after eating something. ”
Vomiting as soon as he ate?
No wonder he was so thin.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Has your young master seen a doctor?”
Deng An shook his head. “Young Master said that he’s not sick and refused to see a doctor.” It seemed that he was afraid of treatment.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask, “How long has your young master been in this condition?”
Deng An said, “A few years. I served Young Master two years ago. Young Master was already like this then.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Deng An continued, “However, my young master can eat two or three of your snacks.”
Even the children did not only eat two or three pieces. However, if one knew how difficult it was for their young master to eat something, they would understand how rare it was to eat two or three pieces of snacks and not spit them out.
In that case, this jam came at the right time.
Su Xiaoxiao handed the jam to Deng An. “I made the sauce myself. Tell me what your young master wants to eat in the future.”
Deng An smiled and took it. “Then I’ll thank you on behalf of my young master first!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “You’re welcome. I haven’t thanked your young master for his appreciation of Xiaohu. Don’t worry, I’ll send Xiaohu over to learn the zither.”
Deng An staggered and fell forward…
Inside the house, Master Zhang came to visit Ling Yun.
“Why are you like this again? Aren’t you already able to eat? I knew you were lying to me!” Zhang Qinshi handed him a cup of warm water.
Ling Yun said nothing.
Zhang Qinshi tidied up his room and turned around to ask, “Where’s your zither?”
“I gave it away,” Ling Yun said calmly.
Zhang Qinshi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. “What? That’s Nine Phoenix! The number one zither in the world! You, you, you, you… Who did you give it to? Don’t tell me it’s those three little fellows!”
Ling Yun was silent.
“Really!” Zhang Qinshi gasped. “What are you thinking? That’s Nine Phoenix!”
...
Ling Yun had no strength and lay lazily on the floor. He turned around and faced Master Zhang.
“It’s just a broken zither.”
Master Zhang fell back in anger! “You prodigal…”
He held back the last two words!
On the other side, Consort Xian’s family also found out the identity of Su Cheng’s family overnight.
It was not difficult to investigate this.
Qin Canglan had already made up his mind. He would not protect the fake Qin Che, let alone let Su Cheng, Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Ergou live in anonymity.
The Duke of Zhenbei was the same. He openly admitted that the person who came to the residence to treat the Old Marquis was the Old Marquis’s biological granddaughter.
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t officially acknowledged it, the Old Marquis would have set up a hundred and eighty tables of banquets and the troupe would have sung for three days and three nights.
Consort Xian sat on the chair sleepily and listened to Liu Sandei s detailed report.
She yawned, “Say again, what’s the kid’s name?”
...
“Su Daya,” Liu Sande said.
Consort Xian frowned in disdain. “Such an old-fashioned name sounds like a little country bumpkin. How does she look?”
Liu Sande laughed dryly. “Uh… a little fat.”
Consort Xian asked indifferently, “How fat is a little fat?”
Liu Sande opened his arms and made a measurement.
Consort Xian gasped and woke up from her sleep. ‘lHow much can she eat?”
Liu Sande smiled awkwardly. “She’s a little plump.”
Consort Xian’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Full-bodied? She’s already as fat as a pig!”
Liu Sande said, “No, not really. I heard that she’s quite good-looking…”
Consort Xian’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Full-bodied? She’s already as fat as a pig!”
Liu Sande said, “No, not really. I heard that she’s quite good-looking…”
Consort Xian frowned. “How good-looking can she be when she’s so fat! Do you believe those servants’ words?”
Liu Sande did not dare to continue.
Consort Xian continued, “Has she studied?”
Liu Sande said, “No.”
Consort Xian asked, “Has she learned the zither?”
Liu Sande said, “Never.”
Consort Xian panicked. “She has to learn one of the six arts!”
Nanny Gui said, “Your Highness, you grew up in the Imperial City. A mouthful of bird’s nest is equivalent to a year’s harvest for the commoners. I’m afraid you don’t know that the commoners who work in the fields can’t eat enough every day.”
Only she dared to say these words.
Liu Sande did not even have the guts to fart.
Consort Xian felt wronged. “How can she be worthy of my son?”
Thinking of something, Consort Xian said, “Her character is at least upright, right?”
Liu Sande gritted his teeth.
Consort Xian said coldly, “Hurry up and say it!”
Liu Sande braced himself and said, “I heard… that she’s… a domineering female bully in the village.”
Consort Xian was speechless!.
