After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 176 Please give me one of these

Qiao Rongjin nodded when she heard this, "Mom, I understand everything."

Thinking that my sister-in-law will probably give birth soon, I have to prepare a generous gift for her then.

Qiao Rongjin was chatting with a few people, while Qi You was having fun with Qiao Jiuyuan and his group.

He had no interest in these things, but if he were to play with Qiao Jiuyuan and the others, it didn't seem so difficult to accept.

The little guys worked for a long time and finally succeeded in making a big snowman. They were all smiling happily.

Qiao Rongjin was having a happy conversation with Qiao's mother and two sisters-in-law when the door suddenly opened and a gust of cold wind blew in. Fortunately, the house was very warm and it didn't have much of an impact.

"Mom, Grandma! Aunt! We have built the snowman, come and see it!"

The voice came before the person arrived. After a while, everyone in the room saw Xiao Ba's red face suddenly sticking out from the door. His big round eyes were rolling around, smart and bright, with a huge smile on his face, showing that he was very happy.

Seeing this, Qiao Rongjin was instantly touched by cuteness.

"These kids really went to play in the snow!" Mother Qiao frowned slightly, a little worried that they would catch a cold.

Liu and Murong stood up immediately, especially Murong, who looked at Xiao Ba's red face with her eyes narrowed dangerously.

After not seeing him for a while, he actually dared to go play in the snow. If he got sick, he would start crying again. However, it was rare to see her youngest son so excited, so Murong didn't want to spoil his fun. She simply said to everyone, "Let's go and take a look."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and followed Xiao Ba out.

"Have someone prepare the ginger soup so that we can drive away the cold." Qiao Rongjin said to Aunt Wu.

"Master, I have asked Hongdou to prepare it a long time ago."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin looked at Aunt Wu with satisfaction.

These days, with Nanny Wu around, I basically don't have to give many instructions. Nanny Wu can prepare everything in advance, which saves me a lot of effort.

Qinglian and the others are young after all, so they naturally can't think as comprehensively as people with more experience like Aunt Wu. But in comparison, they are not bad.

When I came outside, I really saw a big snowman standing next to the pavilion in the yard, with various vegetable radishes stuck on the snowman as noses and eyes.

Sure enough, no matter where you are, people like to make snowmen on snowy days.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Rongjin whispered something to Qinglian, and then Qinglian went to the side room and soon came back with a piece of red cloth.

Qiao Rongjin took it and walked forward with it.

Qiao's mother, her two daughters-in-law, Qi You and others were all looking on curiously.

Qiao Rongjin tied the red cloth around the snowman's neck and smiled happily when she saw the snowman was obviously better looking.

"It looks even better this way. You're worthy of being my aunt!" Xiao Ba subconsciously began to flatter her. He ran up to her, touched the snowman and grinned.

Liu and Murong smiled at each other, and Liu said, "My little sister still has a childlike innocence, haha."

"That's right, haha."

In this kind of scene, it would be great if there was a camera, so that I could record it and watch it later.

Oh, but, can’t I draw without a camera?

He immediately thought of Fuqiu. Fuqiu had drawn a very lifelike picture for him before. Now he had framed it and placed it in his room. So Qiao Rongjin immediately called out, "Fuqiu, are you good at group portraits? I thought you could draw one for us today."

Qiao Rongjin's voice was not small and could be heard by everyone present. When everyone heard the voice, their eyes lit up and they all looked at Fuqiu expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Fuqiu nodded immediately, "Master, I can draw, but it may take a little longer to finish it."

"That's okay, my daughter. Come on, but you have to draw one more, and mother will take one back as well." Qiao's mother spoke first. It would be such a great thing to be able to paint the same picture with her daughter and these daughters-in-law and grandchildren. When she gets old and can't move, she can still take them out and look at them.

Liu and Murong also had the idea and said in unison, "Give me a picture of this, too."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin looked at Fuqiu.

Fuqiu nodded, "Yes, Master, it will just take a little longer."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin smiled.

As long as you can draw.

Qinglian immediately asked people to prepare the pens, ink, paper, inkstone and other things that Fuqiu would need for painting.

"Okay, then everyone should stand in position, on both sides of the snowman, how about that? Mom can't stand for too long, so just sit down." Qiao Rongjin suggested.

"can."

Fuqiu was still a little nervous, because it was her first time to paint so many people. Most importantly, almost everyone's eyes were on her at the moment. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Fuqiu, don't be nervous, just be like usual." Qiao Rongjin was still very confident in Fuqiu's painting skills. After all, when she saw her painting, she was amazed for a long time. Didn't she expect Fuqiu's portraits to be so beautiful? Not abstract at all, very realistic, she liked it that way.

"Yes, master." After hearing this, Fuqiu was indeed not so nervous anymore.

Next, she began to write.

Qi You was originally standing with Qiao Jiuyuan and others, but was later pulled over by Qiao's mother and half-held in her arms.

The group stood there for less than an incense stick of time before dispersing. Of course, this was just a rough outline, and the rest would be processed by the lotus later. It was really too cold and they couldn't stay outside for too long for fear of catching a cold.

Back in the house, everyone drank a bowl of ginger soup, and soon their bodies warmed up.

The color returned to their faces, and everyone started chatting and playing again.

Qi You took Qiao Jiuyuan and his group to tour the entire Yunshen Pavilion. Finally, they separated to play. Those who liked to read quietly went to the study, and those who liked to play went to the room next to the study, which was filled with various toys. This room was prepared when the courtyard was being renovated, and there were several toys in it that were bought by his mother herself.

Several people had a great time playing.

Here, the princess seemed to be waking up from her nap.

Mother Qiao said, "My daughter, why don't we go to the princess first to pay our respects?"

Hearing this, Liu and Murong also nodded. Indeed, when they came to Prince Rui's Mansion, they had to pay their respects to the princess. At this hour, no matter how sleepy they were, they should be almost awake by now, so it would be just the right time to go over.

Qiao Rongjin was going to take someone with her, after all, she was the real hostess of the mansion, and it was only natural that she should go when guests came. Even if they didn't mention it, she would have to say it, so she nodded, "Okay, just the adults will go, and let the children play."

Coincidentally, Qiao's mother and daughter-in-law also thought so, "Okay, let's go over now, second son's wife, take our meeting gift."

"Mom, there's no need for you to prepare these. Don't worry, I've already prepared them." Qiao Rongjin said.
