A ragged cub at the beginning

Tang Xu originally wanted to take Tang Ting home to stay for a few days to comfort him, but he didn't expect that he would refuse with a smile the next day. He opened his arms and said, "Please hug me, Madam Director."

He leaned on the headmistress's shoulder and said, "Last time the teacher said that being content is the greatest happiness. I am already content. I am better than Lele and the others. I have been to my mother's house and I am very happy."

Tang Xu couldn't say that he treated him the same as Qi Yue and the others, but he would still care about and take care of them. "Then tell me next time you want to go."

"Yeah." Tang Ting smiled and enjoyed the warm embrace, then stepped out, "Brother Qiyue and Brother Jiarui are waiting, I'm going to go play with Lele."

"Okay." Tang Xu waved his hand.

July Jiarui didn’t have any other thoughts about the fact that her little brother couldn’t go.

After the new students in the kindergarten settled in, Tang Xu started to worry about Tang Ling's marriage. Although it would not be until next year, she wanted to prepare a wedding gift for Tang Ling.

Butler Qi was in charge of the dowry. Tang Xu asked about the progress, "How is Uncle Qi preparing? Is there anything you want me to help with?"

"Everything that needs to be ordered has been ordered. If there is any young lady who needs your help, I will let you know." Qi Bo replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Qi."

"It's okay. I'm happy to do it."

Tang Xu nodded and returned to her room. She didn't go to the kindergarten today, and was going to paint a crown for Tang Ling at home. It was just right to send it to the county town for customization. The last time she said she wanted to buy a girl as an assistant, she could do it together, and she could also go to the shop to have a look.

Mrs. Du knew that Tang Xu did not go out today, so she specially ordered the kitchen to stew some bird's nest for her to nourish her body. She had nothing to do, so she followed to take a look. There were only two maids in Du Yun's yard, who were responsible for sweeping the yard. Xiaoju was specifically responsible for taking care of Jiarui. When Jiarui was not at home, she would clean the room in the house.

"Old lady." Xiaoju was wiping the furniture and immediately bowed when she saw someone. "Young lady is in the study."

"Yeah." Mrs. Du arrived at the study and found Tang Xu painting at her desk. From her expression, it seemed that she really liked it or was enjoying it.

Tang Xu didn't notice anyone coming in, she didn't even close the door. She sat cross-legged on the chair, humming a song and drawing.

Old Madam Du turned around and smiled at Yu Wen. Afraid that his sudden voice would disturb her, Yu Wen stamped his feet.

Unfortunately, the person who was concentrating on the painting didn't notice at all that she was carefully examining the painting with the pen against her chin.

She was so focused that no one could bear to disturb her. Madam Du signaled Yu Wen to put down the bird's nest, and they prepared to go back. Tang Xu just put down his legs that were numb from sitting, and looked up and saw someone, "Mother, why are you here?"

Madam Du turned around and smiled, "I stewed bird's nest for you. Seeing that you were too focused, I'm going back."

"This is how I draw," Tang Xu stood up and gave an apologetic smile, "Mother, how about you help me take a look at this?"

"What is it?" Mrs. Du asked as she came over. The painting on the table was not yet dry. It was a peacock with a slender neck and slightly lowered head, spreading its tail. There were also a few small hairpins painted next to it, including butterflies, moths, and hairpins shaped like feathers. It was obviously a set. "It's so delicately painted."

"Does it look good? I'm going to give it to my sister as a wedding gift." Tang Xu said happily.

"But I'm afraid it can't be made in the county." Madam Du stretched out her hand and tapped the peacock's tail. "Your peacock tail feather must use a lot of precious jade. If you want to make it, you can only try in the provincial capital."

"Ah?" Tang Xu seemed to have been hit by a bucket of cold water. "Can't do it?"

"It can be done in the city." Mrs. Du looked at her and she turned into an eggplant hit by frost. She said with a smile: "Give me the painting when you are done. I will find someone to make it for you."

"Thank you, mother!" Tang Xu was happy again, "I haven't finished coloring yet, I'll trouble you when the time comes!"

"Okay." Madam Du asked Yu Wen to bring the bird's nest over. "Then we'll go back first. You can eat it while it's hot."

"Okay, thank you, mother~" Tang Xu spoke coquettishly, making Mrs. Du go back happily.

Tang Xu looked at her mother's hair accessories. She only wore a few hairpins on her hair. She remembered that on her wedding day, her mother was dressed very formally and wore a full crown. Osmanthus flowers stood up to form a semicircular crown. In the middle of the front was a moth inlaid with many gems, which was very luxurious and exquisite.

I might as well draw a picture for my mother as well, since I have plenty of time.

So three days later, Mrs. Du received two drawings. "It's a great drawing. It looks even better after coloring. Hey, what is this?"

"This Ruyi is for my mother. I wonder if you like it." Tang Xu said with a smile.

Ruyi, this headpiece looks like Ruyi, but it is actually two goldfish facing each other with their heads tilted up and their tail fins spread out. This is a great test of the craftsman's skills. It is not easy to make this tail look good. Mrs. Du was delighted when she saw it, "We need to find an old craftsman. We can't ruin such a beautiful picture."

"Yes, this matching hairpin with small corals, shells and fish is really unique."

The two of them praised the painting again and again, and Tang Xu felt embarrassed. She took out the banknote that Tang Ling gave her last time and said, "I don't know how much it costs to make this, mother, take it first."

"I have plenty of money, I don't need yours, you can keep it." Old Madam Du pushed it back unhappily.

"That won't do. This is a wedding gift for my sister. It's my love for her. How can I let you pay for it? And this is my filial piety to my mother. I should pay for it." Tang Xu insisted on putting down the banknote.

Mrs. Du had no choice but to accept it. After she left, everything here would belong to them.

The peacock she drew for Tang Ling was inspired by Tang Yao. She drew a few real feather hairpins for Tang Ling to wear. I don't know if Tang Ling likes it or not. She should like it. If she doesn't like it, how can she tolerate Tang Yao's constant yelling?

Last time, Tang Yao got beaten up and his arm was dislocated. It was so tragic. Domestic violence is not allowed, but Tang Yao didn't seem to care much, maybe because he was more resistant to beatings.

After staying at home for a few days, Tang Xu was ready to go out and stretch his muscles. He went to the fan shop first, and as soon as he approached, he heard the laughter of women. Qi Qing moved the partition screen outwards so that there was more space inside. Qi Qing was teaching a customer how to make a lacquer fan, "Turn the fan slowly and put it down, yes, slowly and don't rush."

As a result, the woman was still impatient and did not blow away the color on the surface when she came out, so a nice water pattern had several vertical lines.

"Oh no, failed again." The woman stamped her feet and looked at the fan in frustration.

"It's okay, it looks better than before, just take it slow." Qi Qing comforted in a gentle voice.

"Shopkeeper Qi, how is your business today?" A man holding flowers appeared at the door. "The flowers today are not as beautiful as you."
