Chongfei Manual [Completed]

ch 35

Wei Luo was wearing a blue-green top embroidered with small golden flowers and a white silk skirt. On top of this, she had a snow white fox fur cloak. Flower buds had been combed into her hair. From far away, she looked like an exquisite, sparkling, and translucent little snowball.

She had come to the reception pavilion from Pine Courtyard. The reception pavilion was already full of women. Most importantly, first madam and fourth madam were here to receive the guests.

Old madam had been in bad health for the past few years, so she had given some of Duke Ying's residence's accounts and business to the dignified first madam to manage. First madam had done her work clearly and orderly. Her punishments and rewards were fair and the residence's servants followed her orders faithfully. Old madam was very satisfied with her. Recently, old madam had made the decision to hand over the entire management of the residence to the first madam to manage.

At present, there were many young girls in the reception pavilion. One by one, first madam arranged for a place for them to sit, ordered the servant girls to serve tea and snacks, and handled everything else.

Behind a wooden folding screen that was inlayed with numerous treasures designed to look like birds and flowers, fourth madam Qin-shi was holding sixth young master Wei Chang Mi to meet everyone. After one month under her care, Wei Chang Mi had become much rounder and rosier compared to when he was just born.

(T/N: Here's a picture of a similar screen.)

His facial features had opened up to reveal a cute face. His eyes were like Du-shi's. His nose and mouth were like Wei Kun's. He could be considered quite nice-looking. His face wasn't like a scrunched up little monkey's face anymore and his personality was relatively lively and bold. He didn't cry or fuss when meeting strangers. Instead, he would only curiously stare at them.

However, there was an exception. As soon as Wei Zheng was near him, he would start to cry loudly. It was probably because of that time when Wei Zheng uncomfortably held him after he was recently born. Even now, he still remembered. So much so that whenever he saw Wei Zheng, he would be scared.

In contrast, he really liked being near Wei Luo. They didn't know what was wrong with him. Wei Chang Mi would always beam with delight as soon as he saw Wei Luo. He would stretch his hands towards her and start babbling at her. He also liked to grab her fingers towards his mouth to lick.

Wei Luo truly disliked this behavior. After he nibbled on her fingers, she would wash her hand many times. If she didn't let him nibble, he would cry. Were all children so troublesome? Or was it because he was Du-shi's son, so he was extremely annoying?

Wei Chang Mi didn't know her train of thought. From Qin-shi's arms, he wiggled out his head. As soon as he saw her, his eyes brightened, his mouth babbled, and his hands was stretched out towards her.

Ah Luo subconsciously took a step back and hid both of her hands behind her back.

Qin-shi saw this and smiled. She beckoned with her hand at Ah Luo to come closer.

"Ah Luo hasn't seen Chang Mi for several days, right? Come here to look at your younger brother..."

Wei Luo shook her head like a drum-shaped rattle toy.

"I don't want to see him. He'll eat my hand."

Qin-shi explained with a smile, "That's because he likes you."

But, why would he like her? She never expressed any goodwill or kindness towards him. Wei Luo pursed her lips. She couldn't figure it out. Instead of walking forward, she looked at Wei Chang Mi from a distance.
