When he got up early the next day, Xi Wenqing put candies in his schoolbag and said he would take them to school to show off. Xi Wenzhan said he kept his in a drawer and was at home during the day, so servants could not go to his room to steal it.
Du Xueru asked Yun Qiao: "Where did this kind of candy come from? Let's go buy some too. It will definitely be honorable to entertain guests."
Without waiting for Yun Qiao to answer, she asked again, "Isn't it expensive?"
Yun Qiao: "Uncle Qi gave it to me. I don't know if it's expensive or not."
Du Xueru immediately said: "That must be very expensive. Do you still have any? I invited them to play cards today and I want to show them out."
Yun Qiao still had a third left, and she was still considering whether to give it to Wen Luyao. When she saw this, she immediately said, "Mom, wait a moment, I'll get it."
Xi Wenlan sat there eating, the chopsticks in his hands almost deformed.
She really didn't expect that Yun Qiao could do things so brilliantly.
Yun Qiao gave candies to everyone, but not to Xi Wenlan. Xi Wenlan thought they were gone. After all, Yun Qiao and she had a holiday, but unexpectedly there were still some left.
Yun Qiao blatantly ignored her.
Fortunately, her family didn't ask her how the candy tasted, otherwise she would have been embarrassed.
"...There are so many left, I can put them on display once." Yun Qiao said.
It is placed on a candy plate, and there is just one plate, which is enough to serve as a display during card games.
Du Xueru praised her: "Yun Qiao is still generous and polite."
Yun Qiao felt that everyone's tastes were different. Candies that were so unpalatable and sticky to the teeth were treated as a rarity by them - as a food, no matter how rare it is, being unpalatable would be a capital offense.
In the morning and afternoon, the sisters-in-law played cards in the fourth room, and Yun Qiao went to Xi Lanting's place.
Xi Lanting is sleeping.
He might not be feeling well and slept all day long. Yun Qiao deliberately walked around and rummaged around in his bedroom, but he didn't wake up and still slept peacefully.
His books are piled neatly on the desk.
Yun Qiao couldn't understand anything, so he turned it over for a while and put it back in its original position.
It wasn't until dusk when the sun filled the sky and a few wisps of orange-red light shone through the window lattice that Xi Lanting slowly woke up.
He was too lazy to get up and asked Yun Qiao to pour him tea.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, he seemed to have regained some energy and his eyes were a little brighter. Xi Lanting sat for a while longer. He was tired and his eyelids were closed.
At this moment, Yun Qiao suspected that his end was coming, and boundless fear suddenly surged in his heart.
"Uncle Qi, how do you feel?" Yun Qiao asked.
Xi Lanting: "I can't die."
Yun Qiao: "..."
He added: "Stay away, you are blocking my breath."
Yun Qiao: "..."
Being disliked for no reason, Yun Qiao cursed Xi Lanting secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
However, Xi Lanting frowned and looked at her, as if he understood the unpleasant words she had never said.
"Go tell Xi Rong and prepare dinner." Xi Lanting said.
Seeing that he had slept all afternoon, Yun Qiao was a little worried: "Can you eat it? How about we go for a walk while it's digested?"
"A walk after a meal is called digestion, and a walk before a meal is called appetizing." Xi Lanting simply couldn't stand stupid humans, "You hang out with Wen Luyao every day, is your brain as bad as hers?"
Yun Qiao couldn't help laughing.
Still happy to be scolded, Xi Lanting frowned and looked at her, feeling that her mind was really damaged by Wen Luyao.
Wen Luyao can no longer be allowed to wander around all day long.
Xi Rong soon came in to prepare dinner.
Yun Qiao's prediction was good. Xi Lanting had slept all day and had a poor appetite. He could only drink a few mouthfuls of millet porridge.
Xi Lanting seemed to notice her worry and said in a calm tone: "If I'm hungry, I can have a late-night snack. It's not like I won't finish my meal after eating this meal."
