Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Xia Chuntao took Ling Zhiyi to the bookstore and bought a large pile of various books.

"I didn't expect that Sister Xia is also a bookish person!"

"No, I don't read many books. Most of these are bought for my children and shop assistants."

Ling Zhiyi can understand buying books for children, but...

"Why do you want to buy books for the clerk?"

"These clerks are about the same age as you, and they rarely have the opportunity to study. Now that I have the ability to help them, I will help them more."

"Then... what if they don't want to be shop assistants anymore after studying?"

"Then don't do it! A person is very lucky to have the right to choose his life. If my clerk has a better way because he studied, I will be very proud. Because there are many I have a little bit of the credit.”

"As for my store, there's no need to worry. It's hard to find a boss like me. How many people want to come in!"

Ling Zhiyi was amused by Xia Chuntao's proud expression, "Sister Xia, you are so interesting."

"Let's go to Changping Street. There are many exquisite gadgets there. You must like some of them."

"Okay!"

The two sisters were walking and shopping, and Ling Zhiyi felt that everything he saw was very new, including the candy maker, the juggler, the silk flower seller, the dough maker...

Xia Chuntao shook her head.

This girl looks like the first time she went shopping in the West Market!

It is understandable that she is an outsider and has never seen the world. This girl is the legitimate daughter of a noble family in Dai Viet. Why does she look like she has never seen the world?

It seems that the little girl Zhiyi is not doing well in the Duke's Mansion!

Hey, what about the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo? A child without a mother is a pitiful child.

Fortunately, she is here. What if there were no children?

At this time, Xia Chuntao couldn't stay for a moment. Her heart had already returned to Xiyang and her children.

She calculated, it was not the last time agreed with the children, there was still time!

The last thing she wanted to miss was her children, and teaching by words and deeds was still very important. If a mother doesn’t tell the truth all the time, it would be strange if the children don’t follow suit!

It wasn't until it was time to turn on the lights that the two of them returned to the house packed with bags.

Ling Zhiyi's face turned red with excitement, "Sister Xia, can you still take me shopping when you have time in the future?"

"No problem, as long as the prince agrees. When you arrive in Xiyang County, I will invite you to my restaurant for dinner. I will definitely not let you down."

"Okay! Let me thank Sister Xia first!"

"Thank you for nothing. Speaking of which, I want to thank your brother for more. Let's not thank him again and again. We are exhausted."

"Getting along with other people is a matter of fate. Those who are destined to stay together often; those who are not destined to leave, just leave. Sister Zhiyi and I are destined to get along, and we are very casual and happy when we get along, right?"

Ling Zhiyi nodded fiercely, Sister Xia really spoke to her heart.

"Well, Sister Xia is right."

Xia Chuntao looked at the little girl's red apple-like face and couldn't help but pinch it, "Go back and have a rest early. We have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Hey! Goodbye, Sister Xia!"

Xia Chuntao looked at the little girl's retreating figure and turned around to return to her yard.

"It's fate that we get along with each other, but what about us?"

Xia Chuntao was startled when she looked at Ling Qingxuan who came out of nowhere.

"Your Majesty, you want to scare me to death!"

"You are destined to be with my sister, so we are happy together, but what about me?"

"Of course I have a destiny with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is my noble man! If it weren't for the Crown Prince, I would have met the King of Hell long ago."

"I mean, are you... happy with me?"

Xia Chuntao looked at Ling Qingxuan with bright eyes, "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the official answer or do you want to sincerely answer it?"

"Official answer?"

"The official answer is - I'm so happy!"

Ling Qingxuan was amused by Xia Chuntao's exaggerated expression.

"What about sincerely?"

"Sincerely..." Xia Chuntao's big eyes rolled, "The prince's heart is like a needle in the sea, it's not easy to take care of him!"

Ling Qingxuan frowned, "Do you really think so?"

Xia Chuntao nodded, then looked at Ling Qingxuan, put away his playful smile, and his eyes were clear and serious, "The prince is the warmest person I have ever seen. I am very happy to get along with the prince."

Ling Qingxuan was stunned. He seemed to see himself in her clear eyes, a different self, a smiling self.

After a while, Ling Qingxuan said softly: "Me too."

"Does the Crown Prince also feel happy to be with me?"

Xia Chuntao chuckled, "I'm not boasting, I've always thought I might be a god. Now I guess I'm going down to earth to experience it. It's my mission to bring a little joy to those who are destined to be."

Ling Qingxuan looked at this two-skinned face and nodded after a moment.

"Well, I think you look like a god, too."

Xia Chuntao's eyes suddenly lit up,

"Really? Which god do you think I look like? Master Guanyin or Fairy Chang'e?"

"You look like... Marshal Tianpeng. I want to laugh when I look at you. You really bring joy to people."

……

It hurts your self-esteem. How could there be such a beautiful Marshal Tianpeng?

No vision!

"Your Majesty, farewell!" Xia Chuntao bowed angrily, turned his head, and ran away.

She ran so fast that she didn't see Ling Qingxuan at this moment, his eyes full of smiles, like stars in the sky.

……

When Xia Chuntao saw her child, it was already the afternoon five days later.

At that time, the children were all reading and practicing calligraphy in the room. Even Niuniu, who couldn't sit still the most, was sitting in front of the small desk, writing something one stroke at a time.

"Alai, don't forget to copy the poem you learned today."

"I know, brother."

"Brother, have you finished all the homework assigned by Mr. today?"

"Well. Let me first take a look at what Mr. Tomorrow is going to say."

"Hiss—Brother, are you going too fast?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Just write patiently and finish the words. When you're done, I'll play with you in the yard for a while."

"okay!"

Niuniu: "Xiaobao, when do you think mother will come back?"

"How many characters have you recognized?"

"Well...including today's, there are forty-eight words."

"That's coming soon. Mom said, she will definitely come back by the time you recognize more than fifty words."

"I miss my mother so much! I haven't smelled my mother's scent for a long time. Xiaobao, do you miss your mother?"

"Yeah, I really want to."

The corners of Xia Chuntao's eyes were a little moist. The children missed her, so why didn't she?

Strictly speaking, none of the children are hers. After all, she is still single in modern times. But fate brings her together with the children. They are her responsibility, and she has to protect them from wind and rain.

In less than a year of getting along, the children's kindness, tolerance, filial piety, modesty... deeply infected her. Such a good child is also the motivation for her to work hard.

She will try her best to be a good mother.

Xia Chuntao cleared her throat, "Children, my mother is back!"

All four eyes looked at the door, and the room suddenly became quiet.
