The carriage of the Huguo Marquis Mansion?

After hearing that, the Princess Consort of Qi froze for a moment.

Soon she reacted, smiling and saying, "It should be to deal with the matters of the separate villa, right?"

Over there, everything was blown to nothing, but the necessary cleanup should still be done, right?

The Marquis Protecting the State is the second son of the Da Zhang Gong Zhu, now serving in the Ministry of Works; for repairs, he should still be relatively capable.

If it really doesn't work, he can still ask his colleagues for help.

For this matter, whether he is capable or reasonable, having him step forward is more appropriate.

The Princess Consort of Qi slowed her carriage, intentionally waiting for the Marquis Protecting the State's carriage to come together.

The Marquis Protecting the State's side probably also noticed, so they quickly sped up.

Knowing that the carriage carried either no ladies or just children, Marquis Protecting the State—Su Wei—did not directly lift the curtain, but greeted through the screen, first expressing thanks, then exchanging a few pleasantries.

The two mansions are on good terms; aside from the senior-junior relationship between the Prince and the Da Zhang Gong Zhu, the natal family of the Princess Consort of Qi and the Da Zhang Gong Zhu residence also have marital ties.

So, regarding today's outing purpose, the Princess Consort of Qi did not hide it, merely chatting casually: "Bringing the kids to play with some charcoal."

Su Wei, hearing they were going to play with charcoal, furrowed his brows?

What's fun about that black stuff?

But thinking about the mischievous monkeys of the Qi Wang Fu, it seemed reasonable enough?

Thinking of the mischievous monkeys in his own mansion, they always play with fireworks or sulfur and such.

The danger level is as if they were lighting fire on themselves.

Comparing the two, Su Wei actually felt a sense of envy.

Playing with charcoal is better than playing with fire, right?

Their perfectly fine Zhuangzi was blown up!

Su Wei doesn't regret the Zhuangzi; he's just frightened!

Yesterday, if things had been even slightly off, he and his brothers' descendants from both mansions would have lost half of them!

Thinking of that, cold sweat again began to uncontrollably appear.

Su Wei quickly adjusted his state, and out of politeness he smiled and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can also come ask me."

Saying that, isn't the politeness too fake?

Su Wei is actually a straightforward person, not good at beating around the bush.

Thinking of his mother's teachings, Su Wei made an effort to add: "This way, after I finish my affairs over there, I'll come over to take a look; I have quite some experience with charcoal play, maybe I can guide the children."

Regardless of whether the other party meant well or was just being polite, the Princess Consort of Qi felt embarrassed to refuse: "Then I'll trouble you, Marquis."

Su Wei waved his hand indifferently, and upon realizing the Princess Consort of Qi couldn't see, he quickly replied loudly, "No problem, just a casual thing."

After exchanging pleasantries, Su Wei yielded the way; the Princess Consort of Qi said a few polite words and then took the lead.

While the Princess Consort of Qi and the Marquis Protecting the State exchanged pleasantries, Sui Sui obediently lay on Mother Consort's lap, letting Mother Consort gently stroke her little head.

Feng Xuanrui, watching from the side, eyes red, also came over to touch.

Feng Xuanbin saw everyone touching, not including him, so he squeezed in forcefully.

Three hands landed at once on Sui Sui's little head.

Fortunately, the two children's hands aren't big, so they barely managed to fit.

However, Feng Xuanbin's chubby little hand really took up space; after Feng Xuanrui complained twice, Feng Xuanbin angrily said, "Hmph, I won't eat dinner tonight!"

Hearing that, Feng Xuanrui laughed indifferently and said, "Ah ya, I heard we're having fish noodles tonight."

Fresh, fragrant, bouncy fish noodles?

No way, he has to eat it!

Feng Xuanbin, hearing that, panicked: "Then I won't eat tomorrow night!"

Feng Xuanrui, without thinking, said: "Tomorrow night, we'll have soup dumplings."

Feng Xuanbin: ……

Wow!!!

Sixth brother is bullying people.

Feng Xuanbin, angry to the point of squealing and wailing, Sui Sui watched from the side and couldn't help laughing.

Although the brothers were roughhousing, they still kept each other's bounds well in check.

Even if they quarreled, it didn't affect their feelings.

This is really great!

The carriage swayed along and arrived at the Zhuangzi.

When they arrived, Master Shen was already there, and he was watching people tidy up the venue, waiting only for the young masters to arrive before starting training.

Seeing Master Shen already smiling and waiting for them, Feng Xuanrui jumped off the carriage and muttered softly, "Master Shen really arrived early!"

Feng Xuanbo, who had been sore all the way, squeezed in at this moment and said faintly, "You ride a horse, you're also fast."

After hearing that, Feng Xuanrui thought carefully, then shook his head: "Probably not; my little colt isn't up to it, feels slower than a donkey."

Little colt:?

Who are you looking down on???

Feng Xuanbo, listening from the side, finally showed a hint of a smile: "You'd better not let that little colt hear those words."

Horses raised for a long time also become quite spirited.

Don't think it can't understand.

When you scold it, it actually understands.

Thinking back to the last time he almost got thrown off the horse, Feng Xuanrui's face darkened directly.

Sui Sui doesn't really understand.

However, Mother Consort said she would temporarily not attend classes with her older brothers.

Wait for the new clothes to be finished, wait for the new little companions to arrive, then follow along; there's no hurry.

Moreover, she has a task today.

Need to go make charcoal.

The little girl adapts quickly; Mother Consort said it's charcoal, so it is charcoal.

The system watched from the side, feeling both relieved and worried.

This child is quite obedient, but could she be too obedient?

Sui Sui is like this now; even if Princess Consort of Qi calls a deer a horse, Sui Sui would still say everything Mother Consort says is right.

The system's worry, Sui Sui doesn't understand.

She said making charcoal needs charcoal residue, yellow mud, and water.

Princess Consort of Qi had people prepare; before everything was ready, she took Sui Sui to look at the potato sprouts previously moved to the greenhouse.

Although the greenhouse temperature is fine, sprouting potatoes needs a transition period.

So, just because it was planted yesterday and the greenhouse heated doesn't mean the potatoes can sprout right away and be transplanted.

The mother and daughter went over and looked; they found that on today's heated brick bed, everything was as yesterday, with no change at all.

Sui Sui felt a bit sad.

Seeing the little girl's dejected look, Princess Consort of Qi softly said: "Sui Sui, plant growth needs time; it's not that because you planted yesterday, it grows big today; children also need time to grow up, and plants do too."

【Potato sprouting, affected by external environment, generally takes about 7 to 15 days; Sui Sui, don't rush.】

Mother Consort and Le Le came together to comfort Sui Sui.

After hearing their words, Sui Sui knew the potatoes weren't spoiled and not growing; they just needed time, and she happily laughed: "Mm, Sui Sui knows now!"

After responding, she timidly asked Princess Consort of Qi: "Mother Consort, can we come visit them often in the future?"

Meeting the child's bright eyes, Princess Consort of Qi smiled gently: "Of course, whenever I have free time, Mother Consort will accompany Sui Sui to take a look, all right?"

After receiving Mother Consort's promise, Sui Sui happily circled around Princess Consort of Qi.

Compared to Sui Sui's carefree happiness, Xu Yue Yao at this moment sat there, conducting etiquette training while doubting life in her heart.

Second watch.
