Chapter 916 Looks Pretty Good
Rong Xun smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "The mountain behind me is full of rocks and gravel, and crops can't be grown there. How about you plant some Kuding tea for me? I'll take care of all the tea you want to drink in the palace in the future?"
Xiao Yao: “…”
Uncle Rong is asking her for land? Judging from Uncle Rong's tone, it must be this piece of land. He must have put in a lot of effort to get it.
"Oh, sure." Xiao Yao replied.
She felt that she was too nervous and didn't even know where to put her hands, or perhaps she felt a little shy.
At first she really was...
What on earth was she thinking at the time? She actually thought that she had romantic feelings for Uncle Rong?
Xie Yunchu seemed to notice her nervousness, so he reached out and held her hand in his.
Wrapped in the warm big hand, Xiao Yao tilted her head and looked up at Xie Yunchu, who pursed his lips and smiled, "Although it's night, Uncle Rong, the scenery here is really pleasant. Just opposite, on that mountain, there are plum blossoms and camellia in winter, and peach blossoms in spring. When the weather is good, you can see camellia in spring, summer, autumn and winter."
"Not bad." Rong Xun replied with a smile.
Jingwen was standing aside, boiling spring water in a small clay pot, so he could make tea later.
Seeing Xie Yunchu chatting with Uncle Rong so naturally, Xiao Yao asked, "Did Uncle Rong do well during his trip?"
Rong Xun raised his hand, his eyes gentle, "I should look pretty good."
Xiao Yao nodded.
Uncle Rong...
She seemed to no longer have the courage to sit next to Uncle Rong, nor the courage to bring memorials and many other things to Uncle Rong.
It seems that many things have changed as I grow up.
Of course, she should blame herself more for having taken the wrong path.
After chatting for two cups of tea.
The little yellow dog named Xiao Huang stopped humming and sniffed at Xiao Yao and Xie Yunchu. Then, he started to act naughty and wanted to climb on them.
Xiao Yao squatted down and said, "Xiao Huang, you are so lucky to be raised by Uncle Rong."
Xie Yunchu looked at her tenderly.
Not knowing what to say for a moment, he squatted down and stroked Xiao Huang's head with her.
Xiao Huang opened his mouth full of tender teeth and played with the two of them with a staggering step. He even lay on the ground with his belly turned over to tickle them.
Rong Xun looked at the two people, and a smile unconsciously crept up to the corners of his mouth.
Jingwen made another pot of tea, then walked out of the house, holding a lantern and went to the pond by the stream to look at the big tea seeds.
Xie Yunchu saw Jingwen go out, "Where is Brother Jingwen going?"
"My Lord dug a natural creek pond and raised nine fat koi in it."
"I'll go take a look too."
As Xie Yunchu spoke, he stood up and chased after Jingwen.
The door is not closed.
Xiao Yao watched Xie Yunchu and Jingwen go to the right side of the yard, and then saw the little yellow dog chase Jingwen for a distance and then run back, then went to Rong Xun's feet and bit Uncle Rong's shoe upper.
Rong Xun gently raised his foot, grabbed Xiao Huang's neck and picked it up, "Naughty."
Xiao Yao stood up and watched Uncle Rong holding Xiao Huang, just like when Uncle Rong held her when she was a child. He also said that she was naughty, and he said so while touching her head.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yao burst out laughing.
Rong Xun looked over and asked, "Want to make friends with Xiao Huang?"
Xiao Yao blinked, "Yeah."
"for you."
Rong Xun put Xiao Huang down on the ground.
But Xiao Huang did not walk towards Xiao Yao, but continued to hum at Rong Xun's feet.
Xiao Yao walked over, picked up Xiao Huang, and stood beside Rong Xun so naturally, "Uncle Rong, the house has been repaired this time, so you won't go traveling anymore?"
"Well, probably not."
"After that, Uncle Rong can also go back to the Imperial Observatory. Uncle Rong's room has been vacant all this time, and it is reserved for Uncle Rong."
Rong Xun nodded, but said, "The last time I went back, the house was covered in dust."
Xiao Yao: “…”
She had been to the Imperial Observatory several times, but had never cleaned the room because she was too busy.
But, didn’t Brother Chen care about it?
Oh, Brother Chen is also very busy, and he is still chasing Sister-in-law Aying, so he is very busy. "I will ask someone to clean it in the future, and Uncle Rong can go back anytime and it will be clean."
Rong Xun smiled slightly.
To him, sweeping the dust was just a matter of waving his hands. He just saw that the little girl seemed a little embarrassed, so he deliberately tried to find something to say.
"Yeah." Rong Xun nodded and agreed.
Xiao Yao couldn't stop being happy. It seemed that Uncle Rong didn't take that incident to heart, nor did he blame her. He even looked at her with strange eyes.
"Then it's a deal. Uncle Rong must come back to the Imperial Observatory more often in the future. Yun Chu and I will be happy. And Brother Chen, Uncle Rong should know that Brother Chen and A Ying seem to have some minor problems."
Rong Xun frowned slightly. He had not paid attention to Xiao Chen and Xie Ying recently. Xie Ying had already seen Qing Changan's true face, so why was there still a problem?
Seeing Uncle Rong's puzzled expression, Xiao Yao continued, "Aying and Brother Chen have postponed their wedding date. Now, although they have an engagement, they have not yet decided on a good day for the wedding."
"Why?" Rong Xun asked.
Xiao Yao shook her head, "I don't know either. According to what Brother Chen said, maybe Ah Ying saw that even a gentle man like Qing Chang'an also has a ferocious side, so she no longer trusts men?"
Rong Xun: “…”
Are emotional matters really that troublesome?
Rong Xun didn’t know, because his own feelings were a mess that couldn’t be explained.
“Uncle Rong, don’t frown so easily now,” Xiao Yao said with a smile, hugging Xiao Huang and patting his head while continuing, “You might get wrinkles.”
Rong Xun smiled, "That makes sense."
Afterwards, Xiao Yao told Rong Xun about the government affairs she had done in the past year. Rong Xun listened and praised her.
Xiao Yao naturally knew that Uncle Rong must be aware of all her actions. She just wanted to talk to Uncle Rong about these things, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
After a stick of incense, Rong Xun asked, "Are you going to court tomorrow?"
"Of course I want it."
Rong Xun stood up and said, "Then I will take you to meet Ochazi, Mudan, Yunhe, Shaoyao and the others. They will not be shy when you come over in the future."
Xiao Yao: “…”
So what are these peonies?
Xiao Yao followed Rong Xun out.
Then she saw Xie Yunchu holding a lantern and looking for something in the yard. When she walked over and looked at the flowing water, under the lantern, the koi fish that were barely visible were popping their heads out to eat the food in Jingwen's hand, all of them were fat and plump.
Xie Yunchu said: "Ayao, come and see."
"There are also koi in the palace's lotus pond."
"Those koi you have are not as good as this one. Look, Ochako is sucking his hand and won't leave."
Xiao Yao squatted down, then took the food and put it in her hand. Sure enough, the fat orange koi came to eat Xiao Yao's hand.
The force of its sucking and the friction between its chubby body and her hands made her feel very happy. "It's not afraid of people at all."
