Chapter 92: Promise to be like a fairy
The next day, it was almost noon, and Zhang was pacing back and forth at Li Mulan's door with an anxious look on her face, but she didn't dare to knock.
This was her fifth time coming this morning. As early as the first time she came at the beginning of the morning, Qingyu had told her that her daughter might sleep very late, so she should not disturb her and let her catch up on her sleep. However, Zhang looked at the sun outside. It was too late...
"I haven't had breakfast yet. This is not good for your health."
After a busy morning, Qingyu saw Zhang mumbling softly and advised gently, "Aunt, please go back first. I'll ask Xiaojiu to come find you when she wakes up."
Zhang waved her hand, "I don't have anything to do either, just wait for her here."
In the past when she was in Mobei, although she didn't have to work in the mine, she still had endless work to do every day. Now that she suddenly had some free time, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this time, Huo Yuanruo and Li Xi came back with large and small bags of things, looking very happy.
When Huo Yuanruo saw Qingyu, he immediately handed over the bag in his hand as if offering a treasure, "Sister Qingyu, try this, it's delicious and it's still hot." Then he saw Zhang and enthusiastically stuffed a bag into her hand.
Qingyu looked at the greasy paper bag in her hand and didn't move. "What is this? Where did you go to buy so many things?"
Li Xi had things hanging in his hands and on his shoulders. He wouldn't be able to take any more.
Zhang helped Li Xi put the things down, "You bought too much."
Huo Yuanruo waved her hand, "Aunt, it's not much. Li Xi and I went out for a walk this morning. This Longhu City is pretty good, with a lot of good things. What you have in your hands is the most delicious crab soup dumplings in Longhu City. Li Xi and I have eaten them, and they are delicious." Then she began to talk about the things Li Xi had just put down, "And this, the flower cake, is also delicious, sweet but not greasy. This sugar-fried chestnut is also delicious, and this lotus cake, glutinous rice cake..."
After listening to Huo Yuanruo's words, she shook her head and laughed, "You bought so much, can you finish it?"
Huo Yuanruo sat aside, looking exhausted, "These are all for you. Li Xi and I are already full." Then he glanced at Li Mulan's closed door, "Little Master hasn't woken up yet? It's just right, we can eat when she wakes up."
Zhang looked at the table covered with food and was a little stunned. "This... this is too much."
Huo Yuanruo waved her hand and said, "It's okay, auntie. There are so many people at home. Sister Qingyu will pick some out for Junior Master, and you can share the rest, Li Xi."
"Okay." Li Xi was also very happy. He followed Huo Yuanruo today and ate a lot of delicious food, which was better than what he had eaten in the past ten years.
Zhang looked at her son who looked very happy. "You must have had so much fun. Your second uncle was just looking for you."
"Second Uncle?" Li Xi froze. It was over. He had really gone crazy. He hadn't finished the homework that his second uncle had given him a few days ago. He thought that with so many things happening recently, his second uncle would definitely not check... No, he had to catch up quickly.
Huo Yuanruo looked at Li Xi who left in a panic, and looked at Zhang with a confused look on his face, "Aunt, what happened to Li Xi?"
Zhang smiled and shook her head, "I guess he didn't finish the homework his uncle gave him, so he went to make up for it."
"Tsk tsk tsk," Huo Yuanruo expressed deep sympathy, "If I hadn't finished the homework my master gave me before, it would have been very miserable."
At this moment, Li Mulan, yawning and with messy hair, opened the door. "Um...what are you doing at my door?"
Zhang's eyes lit up, "Lan'er, you're up? Are you hungry?"
Li Mulan was stunned, "Mom? Why are you here too?"
Zhang's face was full of tenderness. "Mother is waiting for you to get up. Yuan Ruo just happened to bring back a lot of food. You can have some."
Qingyu went straight into the house, took out a coat and put it on her, "Xiaojiu, go wash up first."
"Yes, yes, yes, go wash up first, and be gentle and careful." Zhang pulled the person into the house, then brought in a few bags of food bought by Huo Yuanruo and placed them on the table.
After Li Mulan washed her face, she saw Qingyu take out a purple dress.
"Sister, have you prepared new clothes for me again?"
Qingyu didn't look up, and took out another brocade box, which looked like jewelry. "Well, I saw the ready-made clothes when I went out this morning, and I thought the clothes were beautiful, and the color was beautiful, so it would definitely suit you."
Zhang picked up the dress and touched it, then compared it to Li Mulan, "Well, it must look good. Lan'er has fair skin, so she can handle any color." Then she looked at the things in the brocade box and looked at Qingyu with admiration, "Qingyu has a really good taste."
She smiled softly, "I just think Xiaojiu is suitable. Does aunt think so too?"
Zhang nodded, and then looked at Li Mulan with hope, "Lan'er, change quickly. I will comb your hair into a beautiful bun. I promise, it will be like a fairy."
Li Mulan's mouth twitched. Qingyu had always been keen on dressing up Li Mulan. Now, it seemed that there was one more person, and then there was a flurry of activity. Li Mulan looked at the untouched food on the table with some helplessness. She was actually quite hungry now.
Huo Yuanruo leaned against the door with his arms crossed. He looked at the busy people in the room and shook his head helplessly. Women just like these fancy things. Then he looked at Li Mulan who had changed her clothes and nodded with satisfaction. This dress really suited Junior Master Uncle.
Then he remembered the set of jewelry he saw in the Treasure Pavilion in the morning. He thought it was very expensive at the time. But now... he felt that it was quite suitable for Junior Master. No, he had to buy it back later, and he couldn't let anyone else buy it.
Li Mulan sat in front of the dressing table with a hopeless look on her face. Zhang had been combing her hair for almost half an hour. She was really starving...
"Mom, are you done yet?"
Zhang's eyes were full of seriousness. "It will be fine soon, don't worry."
Li Mulan looked at the food on the table in the mirror and swallowed her saliva in a very unpromising manner. Qingyu then remembered that the girl had not eaten since she got up. She and Zhang were so excited that they completely forgot about it.
Seeing Zhang stop, she quickly took a piece of lotus cake and handed it over, "Are you hungry?"
Li Mulan took it with eyes full of emotion, and said aggrievedly, "Mom and sister, do you want to starve me to death? I haven't even had my meal yet, I'm really starving."
Zhang finally realized what was going on and laughed, "Mother really forgot. Our Lan'er is so pretty. Once mother dressed you up, she forgot everything else. Hahaha."
Qingyu also smiled and put a pair of jasper earrings from the brocade box on her. Zhang didn't stop either and put the remaining jasper hairpin on her. The two of them cooperated very well.
Li Mulan stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth, puffed her cheeks and asked, "Are you done?"
Zhang and Qingyu looked at each other, and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes. They said in unison, "Okay."
