Chapter 70: Da A Fu (Enigmatic Mysterious Xiān +2)

  Two little girls came out from the corner door, and a faint smile appeared on Wang Yi's face.

  Niu Xiaoye ran over with a smile all over her face, "Wang Dage, are you here to pick me up?"

  Wang Yi said warmly: "Mmm, your elder brother has something on and can't come, so he asked me to drop by."

  Although Niu Xiaoye was fat, her body was still very agile. She climbed up the carriage pole and got on in one go. Sitting in the carriage, she leaned forward to lift the curtain and said to Sheng Siyan standing not far away: "Siyan, remember your invitation! My family lives in Che Shui Hutong, and the big crooked-neck willow tree at the entrance is my home!"

  "Unforgettable! Don't worry!"

  Niu Xiaoye laughed with a radiant face and waved at Sheng Siyan, then dropped the carriage curtain and said: "Wang Gege, let's go back."

  Wang Yi Xing turned his head and gave a wink to the carman.

  The charioteer understood, whipped up the fine horses and they galloped forward with a rattling sound.

  Niu Xiaoye knew that Wang Yixing would ride a horse to follow up, so he didn't mind either.

  Wang Yi didn't immediately follow up.

  He stood quietly there, one hand holding the reins and the other hidden in his wide sleeve, watching Sheng Siyan smile.

  Sheng Siyan originally wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, she didn't want to be completely rude either. So she bowed slightly from a distance, which was her way of saying goodbye.

  Wang Yi raised an eyebrow and hesitated for a moment before lifting one hand to wave at Sheng Siyan, returning the greeting.

  Sheng Siyan smiled slightly and turned around, her skirt fluttering lightly as she headed towards the side door.

  Wang Yixing had no choice but to speak up: "Sheng Da Niang, I have some things to ask you!"

  Sheng Siyan didn't want to pretend she hadn't heard anymore, so she stopped in her tracks, thought for a moment, and then turned around, holding up the hem of her skirt as she looked at him.

  Wang Yi led the horse over and stopped in front of her.

  The phoenix tree in front of the door is blooming with large flowers, shining and charming.

  He stood under the tree, tall and slender, smiling at her. The sunset fell on his shoulders, casting a warm glow, making her squint.

  She still had to look up at him.

  Sheng Siyan suddenly remembered that she had been busy for the past few days and hadn't had time to touch her feet to the ground. She forgot to jump high, and quietly reminded herself not to forget again.

  Wang Yi Xing looked at Sheng Si Yan's chubby apple face and really wanted to rub her hair like he used to.

  "...thought of Yan." Wang Yi Xing finally spoke up. "So you are indeed descendants of the Sheng family."

  Finally admit that you are the Wang family next door?

  Sheng Siyan made a ghostly face in her heart and asked him with a smile: "So should I call you Wang Da Gongzi or Wang Er Ge?"

  "Of course it's Wang Er Ge. You can always call me Wang Er Ge." Wang Yi Xing said without hesitation, "Last year when I came back, I went to Wang Jia Village to look for you, but found that you had already moved away. I asked everyone in the village and no one knew where you went. At that time, I was guessing that the Sheng family people who suddenly returned to Beijing were actually you."

  Sheng Siyan smiled and said, "My mother didn't want to disturb the people in the village, so she left quietly."

  Wang Yi nodded and smiled: "Wang Danni has always been a decisive person." He also said to Sheng Siyan: "You've gained weight."

  Sheng Siyan's face turned black with anger, and she said indignantly: "A Cai is even fatter!" To prove her words, the little hedgehog A Cai quietly crawled to Sheng Siyan's feet, looked up at Wang Yi Xing.

  Wang Yi Xing looked at the little hedgehog that was as round as a drum, then looked at Sheng Si Yan's face which had clearly fallen. He smiled and said: "I didn't say being fat is bad. You were very thin when you were young, Old Lady Wang always worried that you wouldn't grow up big and strong. Now that you're a bit chubby, it's good, more auspicious..."

  Sheng Siyan was furious, and couldn't help but say "You're the lucky one! Your whole family is lucky!" But in the end, she restrained herself, bent down to pick up Xiao Ciwei Ah Cai, and stiffly said: "Alright, it's getting late. Wang Ergou, you must be busy with important matters. I won't keep you any longer." This was a way of sending off the guest.

  Wang Yi couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to rub the two buns on Sheng Siyan's head, saying: "Don't be angry anymore, I'll be back in Jiangnan in two days. Here, this is for you." As he spoke, he suddenly produced another hand from his long sleeve, holding a pair of round and chubby mud figurines with endearing expressions.

  Sheng Siyan's favorite little trinket, immediately forgot the anger just now, couldn't help but reach out to take it. With a smile, she said: "Huh? What is this thing? - So cute!"

  The two clay figurines are a male and female pair of chubby babies, both in the shape of sitting on the ground with their legs crossed. One male clay figure with a single bun on his head is holding a snake in his hands, while another female clay figure with double buns on her head is holding a small hedgehog.

  Sheng Siyan looked at him more and more fondly, smiling: "One is me, one is Wang Erge, eh, Ah Cai, and you too!"

  Little hedgehog Acai glanced at the two mud dolls in Sheng Siyan's other hand, but was clearly more interested in the snake. It suddenly rounded its small eyes, poked out its head, and sniffed the little snake's head with its nose. Upon discovering it wasn't alive, it wrinkled its nose in distaste and burrowed back into Sheng Siyan's arms.

  Wang Yi smiled and nodded, "This is the big Ah Fu I made with my own hands, you take it to play." When leaving, he thought for a moment and reminded Sheng Siyan: "Tell your parents hello from me, say that winter is coming soon, this year's winter will be particularly cold, let them prepare more medicine in advance."

  Sheng Siyan listened blankly and nodded, "Got it. Wang Erge, slow down."

  Wang Yixing mounted his horse, pulled the reins and ran a few steps, then turned back to look at her, smiled and waved again before turning around and riding away.

  Sheng Siyan put Ah Cai down and walked towards the corner door with a smile, holding two big Ah Fu.

  A Qian followed her closely, crawling into her sedan chair and entering the inner courtyard.

  Sheng Siyan had Mu Jin bring Ah Cai back to her Wu Mei Xuan residence, while she herself went to the Yan Yu Tang of the Wang family.

  "Mother, just now Wang Er Ge came to pick up Niu Xiao Ye and happened to say a couple of words to me." Sheng Si Yan glanced at the opportunity when no one was around and whispered to Wang Shi.

  "Oh? Wang Yi Xing has arrived? Why didn't you invite him in to sit down?" Wang smiled and glanced at Sheng Siyan.

  Sheng Siyan hastily lifted up her two big Ah Fu dolls and showed them to Wang Shi, "Mother, these were given to me by Wang Er Ge, aren't they lovely? Wang Er Ge also said that he made them himself and called them Big Ah Fu!"

  Wang was indeed knowledgeable and knew that the big Ah Fu was a specialty of Jiangnan's Chiangzhou. And Jiangnan's Chiangzhou was precisely the hometown of Empress Jiang, who was also the mother of the Second Prince. In this way, Wang's family followed the Second Prince back to Jiangnan's Chiangzhou.

  "Hmm, put it away. We and Wang Erge are also neighbors, this gift is not excessive. But don't let others know who sent it to you, just say your father bought it for you." Wang reminded Sheng Siyan.

  Sheng Siyan hastily nodded and said: "Wang Erge asked me to ask you to take care of Father and Mother. He also said that this winter will be very cold, so let's prepare more medicinal materials for Father and Mother."

  Wang nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I'll talk to your father about it."

  "What was said?" Just then Sheng Qiye pushed open the curtain and came in asking.

  Wang quietly asked Sheng Qiye about Wang Yixing's words, saying: "What does he mean by saying this?"

  "It's only September now, how does he know it will be very cold in winter?" Wang said with a puzzled expression.

  Sheng Qiye, however, had lived with that group of "fallen people" for a very long time and knew that among them were hidden dragons and sleeping tigers, with many incredible abilities, such as predicting the weather. Some of them could even do it, and he said, "The world is so big, there are so many strange and wonderful people, it's not surprising if they know."

  "Alright, even if it's going to be very cold this winter. But what about preparing medicine? It's going to be very cold, should we prepare charcoal?" This remark suddenly reminded Wang Shi, "Right, the silver frost charcoal for winter. As a duke's household, according to precedent, the Imperial Household Department will distribute winter supplies to households with noble titles. I don't know how much silver frost charcoal they'll send, if it's not enough, we'll have to buy some ourselves. Silver frost charcoal is often in short supply, so we need to prepare early."

  Sheng Siyan grew up in a small mountain village. In her previous life, she had heating in the winter and never used charcoal, so she was full of curiosity about Yin Shuangtan, "Mother, is Yin Shuangtan very different from ordinary wood charcoal?"

  "Of course. Silver Frost charcoal doesn't produce smoke. You forgot. In the past, when we were in Wang's village, every winter when you started a fire, you would cough. Next door's Wang Erge often braved the heavy snow to go up the mountain and catch a kind of four-legged snake to bring back for you to make a medicinal broth, after drinking it your cough would be gone." Wang Shi reminded Sheng Siyan with a smile.

  As soon as Sheng Siyan thought of the greenish liquid medicine she had drunk before, which was actually made from a four-legged snake, she felt like vomiting. Covering her mouth, she said: "Mother, don't mention it again. I can't bear it..." and then ran back to her own courtyard.

  Sheng Qiye and Wang Shi looked at Sheng Siyan's expression and couldn't help but laugh.

  Sheng Siyan returned to Womei Xuan and placed two large Ah Fu in the Duobao Pavilion on the east wall of her bedroom.

  Her treasure house was originally empty and had few decorations. After placing two big Buddha statues inside, it became quite interesting.

  Haitang looked at it with great curiosity, stretched out her hand to touch it, and said: "It's so smooth, is this Da Afu?"

  Sheng Siyan sat on the bed with her legs crossed, hugging Xiao Ci's hedgehog A Cai and said, "It should be a coarse ceramic fired at high temperature."

  "It's a fine ceramic, you see, so delicate and exquisite, completely different from the big Ah Fu sold in the market." Haitang was also a young girl at heart, and she couldn't resist this cute little doll. "In the past when I was at home, my father bought one for my brother, it was much coarser than this, and very expensive too, costing one or two silver coins. After buying it, my father was scolded by my mother for a long time."

  Sheng Siyan also had a bitter childhood. When she was young, she didn't even know what a big fortune was. Her favorite toy was a grasshopper made by Wang Ergou. Her closest playmate was her hedgehog Ah Cai. The best brother, of course, was Wang Ergou.

  Knowing she has someone in her heart, and having someone who also has her in their heart, this feeling is really too wonderful.

  Sheng Siyan's good mood lasted until the day Sheng Guogong invited guests to his mansion.

  Seeing Zheng Dainai and Wu Chanjuan arrive, she smiled and greeted them, leading them to their respective halls.

  Wu Chanjuan smiled and said: "You haven't forgotten about Little Prince Wang, have you? He saw me a few days ago and asked if I had received the invitation from your family!"
