Chapter 644 - 642 Familiar With
Qi Jiaer, now seven years old, had learned from Nanny Jin and the many maid servants the difference between men and women. Upon entering, he stopped in the outer room, tugging at Jiu Yue’s sleeve to ask questions but dared not venture further inside.
"Sister Jiu Yue, where is my sister? Why isn’t she anywhere to be seen? Weren’t we supposed to go out for some pastries together? Brother Sanshun is waiting outside, and so is Uncle Guan. We’re all in a hurry."
Jiu Yue quickly held her index finger to her lips, speaking in a hushed tone, "Brother Jia, speak quietly, Miss Ye hasn’t woken up yet."
For ease of movement, Qi Jiaer was still dressed in his usual clothes, only the fabric was of a much higher quality now, a uniform cloud-patterned satin, with embroidery and stitching that was incredibly delicate and fine.
Upon hearing that Ye Xinyan hadn’t awakened, Qi Jiaer also lowered his voice, "Ah, then I’ll just wait. At noon aunt said that after we have the pastries, if there’s still time, she’ll take me and Brother Sanshun to buy New Year goods. We can buy whatever we like. Grandfather also gave me and Brother Sanshun some silver, all of which is held by Sister Zi Ning."
"You little rascal, living such a comfortable life. To have someone agree to buy whatever you want–it’s almost like the life of the original Miss Ye." Ye Xinyan grumbled to herself as she walked out.
When Qi Jiaer saw her, he immediately ran over, "Sister, are we going to have pastries with Lord Jiang? Lord Jiang hasn’t had any time off. Can we just have a few sweet soups today and not have the pastries? Afterwards, I can take Lord Jiang to eat something delicious. There are so many goodies on the street by the City God Temple, and we have quite a bit of silver."
"You just said something different to Jiu Yue," Ye Xinyan replied lazily, sitting down by the chair as Jiu Yue hurriedly brought over some tea.
Qi Jiaer’s eyes rolled as he said, "Aunt mentioned that Lord Jiang and sister have important things to discuss, and I thought to let sister finish quickly. Then we can go eat those delicacies–sister and Lord Jiang together, and we can also shop while we’re out."
