"In the future, keep your distance from the matters of the Master, just do your own duties. The biggest taboo for a servant in a big household is talking too much." Long Yi finished saying this, then turned around and left, carrying the cage.
Zi Xia stared blankly at his back for a good while before coming to her senses, then chased after him, shouting, "I get it, you're saying I don't have manners, right?"
Xuexue and Long Rui were walking slowly behind them, watching the commotion in front with amusent.
Xuexue laughed, "When did those two beco so close? How co I didn't know?"
Long Rui blurted out, "Who cares, as long as they don't bother the two of us, it's fine."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, the weather is nice today, the scenery is beautiful, it's nice for us to take a slow walk back."
Long Rui would never tell Xuexue that he found Zi Xia, the maid, a nuisance, and deliberately had Long Yi go after her to leave them alone.
It was the ti when the sun was setting behind the western hills, and the sunset gradually sinking into the distant towering mountains. Behind the blue sky, strange colors were shifting, the long clouds were lit as if on fire, pink, rose red, burgundy...
The riot of colors was dazzling.
"Hmm."
Xuexue glanced at the sunset and nodded in agreent, "Yes, the scenery is indeed beautiful."
Xie Residence.
By the ti Long Rui and Xuexue returned ho, Zi Xia had already killed and cleaned the Baby Fish. Though this girl was a bit chatty, she was quick and efficient with work that even Madam Xie, who often did house chores, frequently praised her, saying whoever marries a wife like her would be fortunate.
Whenever Madam Xie said this, Zi Xia would glance at Long Yi, then bashfully lower her head and remain silent.
Anyone with eyes could see that this girl had a thing for Long Yi.
Chuner and Xiao Gougou were playing at the gate, and when they saw Xuexue returning, they bounced towards them, "Sister, Big Bull Brother, you're back?"
Long Rui dotingly took her hand and walked ho together.
When they reached the gate, Xuexue gently patted Chuner's head and said, "Chuner, be good and go play on the side, Big Bull Brother and sister are tired."
"Oh!"
Chuner had just turned to leave when she suddenly spotted the little bird following behind Xuexue.
"Sister, why is that Birdy following you guys?" Children have a keen sense of observation, especially towards small animals, and they have an inexplicable fondness for them.
Xuexue glanced back; she had almost forgotten about this Birdy.
"Does Chuner like Birdy?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then sister has a task for you, can you do it?"
"Sister, tell ! Chuner will do her best."
Xuexue pointed to the Birdy in mid-air and said, "Could you help sister teach this Birdy to talk, okay?"
"I can, but sister, it's flying so high, can you catch it?"
"It's well-behaved, as long as you call it, it will co down."
"Really?" Chuner's face clearly showed disbelief.
Xuexue raised her hand and gestured to the Birdy in the air, calling, "Xiao Jiu, co down."
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
Sure enough, the Birdy flew down from the air and landed on Xuexue's shoulder.
This scene left Chuner dumbfounded, and even the curious Xiao Gougou playing nearby ca over.
Xuexue placed Birdy in her hand and said to it, "Xiao Jiu, from now on, you'll follow Chuner, and she'll teach you to talk, okay?"
"Chirp chirp chirp." The Birdy nodded.
Xuexue looked up at Chuner and said, "Xiao Jiu is in your hands now, you have to teach it to talk well, alright?"
