No matter what kind of conspiracy Qi Qisheng of Yangli Kingdom might have after returning to China, Wei Zijun's family will still have to live a good life.
The five members of the family were all busy during the day, and the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived in a blink of an eye.
After lunch, Aunt Fu and a cook helped Wei Zijun prepare the ingredients for the evening.
"Mom, what else do you need my son's help for?" Xiao An, who had just returned from the military camp, asked while fetching water to wash her hands.
"No, you go to see Ruyi and lock yourself in the room again." Wei Zijun arranged errands for his son.
Again? Xiao An was startled, then smiled and said: "Okay, my son will go now."
There was nothing unusual when my daughter and I had dinner together at noon, but it has been like this a lot recently, and when I asked and couldn't get anything out of the question, I was inevitably a little worried.
The temperament of a daughter's family is of course different from that of a boy, and Wei Zijun was afraid that Ruyi would have something to worry about and be depressed.
Xiao An arrived outside Ruyi's room and knocked on the door: "Ruyi, I'll open the door quickly."
Then I heard a lot of movement inside, and the sound of footsteps came again. "It's just a brother." Hearing the hesitation inside and not opening the door immediately, Xiao An emphasized again in a low voice.
Sure enough, the door opened the next moment, but no one was seen.
When Xiao An entered the room, he saw his sister hiding at the door and closed the door carefully.
"The more cautious you are, the more suspicious your mother will be. Oh, let me go..." Xiao An was halfway through his words when he faced the face that turned around after closing the door and bolting it. He was startled.
At this time, Ruyi couldn't see her original appearance at all. It was a face scarred by fire, her eyebrows were missing, her nose was deformed, and her mouth was semi-adhesive. Even Xiao An had known her secret for a long time.
, and was still frightened unprepared.
"How is it, how is it, is it realistic this time?" Her brother's reaction made Ruyi very excited.
Xiao An patted his chest with his hand: "Little sister, even if you have two brothers, you won't be like this. If you scare one to death, you will have one less brother to pamper you."
Ruyi didn't answer this, and returned to the dressing table happily, admiring her masterpiece in the mirror.
Xiao An shook his head helplessly and sat next to her: "You have been visiting Uncle Yu Qing frequently recently. Do you think your mother and father don't know what you are doing? Just learn how to disguise yourself and act openly. There is no need to hide it.
Look after your parents."
"Brother, you don't understand how I feel at all. Compared to you and second brother, I am the one that worries my mother the most. I must make myself very, very powerful." Ruyi looked at her scary face in the mirror,
He said it very firmly.
After hearing what she said, Xiao An sighed and nodded.
My parents originally kept the secret of my sister's blood from the three brothers and sisters, but after the last time the prince of Yangli Kingdom came with his maternal grandparents, my mother suddenly changed her mind and told the three brothers and sisters.
After my sister found out, she didn't feel scared or uneasy. Her biggest hobby was not to hide and secretly change into the women's clothes her mother had prepared for her. Instead, she practiced martial arts more diligently. She learned that Yu Qing, who came to Yu Boqing's side, was good at Yi.
Rong, so he secretly went to become a disciple.
In addition, she also began to learn medical skills, dive, and make hidden weapons.
In short, she will learn whatever she thinks is useful.
Xiao Le once advised her, saying that there is no need to study so much and be so complicated, but to concentrate on learning one or two things well.
But Ruyi didn't listen, so apart from sleeping and eating every day, he did all kinds of studying.
The sister who was originally the most laid-back has now become the most studious among the three siblings.
The Xiao An brothers did not laugh at her, because they understood her thoughts and feelings. She worked hard to become more powerful, not only because she was afraid that the Qi family would spy on her blood, but she did not want to be unable to protect herself one day when she encountered danger.
, instead, my parents and brother were threatened. If they were kidnapped by bad guys or killed, my mother and father would be so sad and self-blame.
Therefore, Ruyi practiced kung fu very diligently and competed with her two brothers every now and then. Of course, no matter how hard she worked, she was still far behind them.
After all, the brothers Xiao An started practicing martial arts nearly ten years ago. They also practiced martial arts diligently every day with the belief that they could become more powerful and help their parents.
"Hurry up and take it off. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival today. We should work hard for a day and a half." Seeing that her sister was still looking in the mirror and wondering if there were any flaws on her face, Xiao An hurriedly advised her.
My brother's words reminded Ruyi, and after hearing the words, he immediately started to remove his makeup.
"Brother, I admire you very much. With your skills now, you are already much better than my mother and Uncle Bo Qing." Xiao An praised sincerely.
"Really? Brother, don't pick nice things just to make me happy." After hearing this, Ruyi immediately turned to look at her brother and asked with bright eyes.
Even though half of the scar on Ruyi's face had been removed at this time, she still looked scary. Xiao An quickly reached out and gently turned her face away: "Of course it's true. There are so many tricks to make you happy, but I don't even bother to use them."
Lies deceived you."
Her brother's reaction made Ruyi more sure that her disguise method had indeed been approved by her brother. She was in a good mood, humming the ditty her mother had learned, and quickly removed the scars on her face.
Not long after, his original appearance was restored.
After putting away the container utensils on the dressing table and hiding them, the brother and sister went out and walked to the kitchen.
On the way, they met Xiao Le who came to look for them, "Second brother." Ruyi called.
Feeling her sister's obvious pleasure, Xiao Le responded and looked at her brother.
"What's going on?" Xiao Le, who was deliberately lagging behind, asked in a low voice.
"Brother, keep it a secret." Ruyi heard it and immediately turned around to remind him.
Xiao An smiled and nodded, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands to express his regret to his brother. There was nothing he could do, it was his sister who wouldn't let him talk!
Of course my sister needs to be pampered. Xiaole is not displeased at all. She just won't say anything. Let's see how long you can keep it secret.
The three siblings went to the kitchen, and Wei Zijun counted the time and waited for the mooncakes to be baked in the stove.
Then I peeled the sun-dried chestnuts, cut them into small bites with a knife, and fried them with sand for snacks after dinner.
In the evening, the ingredients were prepared, the duck and vegetables were stewed and fragrant, and the roast chicken in the oven was just the right color. We were waiting for the head of the family, He Zexu, to come back and cook.
However, I waited and watched the sun set over the mountain, but I still didn't see him.
"Mom, don't worry, son, let's go take a look." Seeing her mother looking towards the courtyard door again, Xiao Le couldn't help but say.
Wei Zijun nodded and said to Xiao An and Ruyi: "Go to the wine cellar to get some peach blossom wine for your mother."
As soon as she lifted her feet to leave, her sleeve was grabbed by Xiao An.
"Mother, the peach blossom stuffed son has just been brought." Xiao An said while looking towards the small table next to him.
Wei Zijun followed his son's line of sight and looked over. He saw the dark wine jar and the mark tied with a pink ribbon around the neck of the jar.
"Mom, dad will be back soon, don't worry." It was rare to see her mother distracted, and Ruyi was also very worried.
It had been calm for a few months, but their family didn't think it would always be peaceful in the future...
