Chapter 1914: Barter Festival (1)
Nangong Yi's family came incognito, so it was inconvenient to show off. The welcoming banquet that Wanyan Jingchen held for them was not attended by outsiders, only their family and Nangong Yi's family.
It was more like a family dinner than a banquet. The two families sat together without those hypocritical courtesies and no outsiders came to disturb them. Only the two families ate, drank, talked and laughed, and it was warm.
Queen Mother Namuhan accompanied Caiwei to talk, while the emperor and Wanyan Jingchen toasted Nangong Yi. Several children couldn't sit still and left the table early. They ran around the table chasing each other and having a lot of fun. Wanyan Ce also staggered with his short legs and ran behind his brothers and sisters. Because he was a little fat because of his grandparents, the flesh on his face was trembling when he ran, which was very cute.
Wanyan Chao was basically chasing after Sister Mingzhu. Among these brothers and sisters, he liked Sister Mingzhu the most, not only because Sister Mingzhu was beautiful, but also because Sister Mingzhu was gentle and kind to him and Ce'er. Unlike Brother Jin, who was so arrogant and always treated them as little brats who knew nothing, he was actually only a few months older than himself, so what was there to be proud of?
Brother Yu was very kind, but he was not as lively and cute as Sister Mingzhu, and he didn't like to laugh as much as Sister Mingzhu. He always had a dull expression, like a little fool.
How could he, who was so young, know the truth that great wisdom is like stupidity? He just felt that Brother Jin and Brother Yu were not as good as Sister Mingzhu, so he only liked Sister Mingzhu and wanted to play with Sister Mingzhu.
Mingzhu had never been admired like this before. When she was with brother Jin and brother Yu, brother Jin thought she and Yu were childish and always controlled them and bossed them around, which made her very unhappy. Although Yu was obedient, he never liked to play with her. He would rather go to the old turtle and stay with the old turtle for a day than follow her everywhere, which was very boring.
Now suddenly there are two younger brothers following her, calling her sister and following her everywhere, which satisfied her little vanity. Her heart was also touched by the word sister, and she acted like a sister when she did things.
'Sister' means that she is an adult, and can take care of the younger brothers, and let the younger brothers follow her, look at her with admiration, and listen to her, just like when they followed their mother. She recalled how her mother took care of them, helping Chaoer and Ce'er to eat fruit seriously, and telling them like a little adult not to run around when eating to avoid choking...
When Queen Mother Namuhan saw this scene, she was surprised and said: "It's true that one thing conquers another. Chao'er has had his own ideas since he was a child and doesn't listen to anyone. I didn't expect that he would listen to Mingzhu so much. If you tell him not to run, he won't run. If you tell him to sit down, he will sit down. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."
Xiangyun said: "That's right, Chao'er has been a famous devil since he was born. She is the type who easily listens to others. It seems that it is a destiny that she can listen to Mingzhu so much. If it were me, Caiwei, let's just be relatives. You know, Jingchen and I are both gentle people. We will definitely be extra nice to Mingzhu in the future. We will definitely treat Mingzhu like our own daughter, okay? "
Xiangyun had mentioned this matter once in Dajin last time, and was rejected by Caiwei, but Xiangyun never gave up. Especially when she saw her son, the devil of the world, following Mingzhu like a little tail, she became more thoughtful. She couldn't help but bring up the old matter again and discuss it with Caiwei.
Chao'er is very good, beautiful and listens to Mingzhu, but Caiwei knows that Nangong Yi will never let his daughter marry so far away. Even if he knows that his daughter will be happy, he will not agree to this marriage for his own sake, because he can't bear to be so far away from his daughter, let alone so long away from her.
