Chapter 284 Going to the Horse Farm
Chapter 284 Going to the Horse Farm
Xiao Siyue happily returned to the Xiao residence and went to the main courtyard with the jewelry she had bought.
"mother."
"Yue'er is back. Did you have fun today?" Lin Qin asked lovingly as she tidied Xiao Siyue's hair.
"I'm so happy! I even bought a gift for Mom today. Do you like it?" Xiao Siyue took the box from Chun Tao, placed it on the table, and opened it.
Lin Qin looked at the magnificent emerald headdress lying quietly in the box, its brilliance captivating her gaze.
Lin Qin looked at it carefully and was very happy.
"Thank you, Yue'er. Mother likes it very much. Our Yue'er is so thoughtful, she's my little darling." More than the jewelry, it was Xiao Siyue's thoughtfulness that made Lin Qin happiest.
How could she not be happy that her own daughter remembered to bring her a gift when she went out to play?
"Hehe, Mom is the best mom too." Xiao Siyue grinned foolishly.
"Didn't Yue'er buy herself a gift?" Lin Qin looked around but didn't see anything else.
"I didn't buy anything I didn't like, Mother. Don't worry, I have plenty of money." Xiao Xiao Siyue is quite wealthy now; she's the richest person in the entire Xiao family.
"Yes, remember never to mistreat yourself," Lin Qin earnestly advised.
"Mother, I know."
Just as the two were talking, Xiao Siyue walked in from outside.
"Yue'er, you're here! I just went to your courtyard to look for you, but I didn't see you."
"Brother, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
"My fifth brother and I are going horse racing today. We were wondering if you'd like to come?" Xiao Siyu said.
"I want to go." Xiao Siyue's eyes lit up. Who doesn't dream of galloping on horseback?
But then he realized he probably didn't know how, and his eyes drooped.
"What's wrong? Didn't you want to go? Why are you so listless again? Is there something else you're busy with?" Xiao Siyu patted Xiao Siyue's head.
"Brother, I want to go, but I don't know how."
"What's the big deal? I'll teach you later, I promise you'll learn it." Xiao Siyu patted his chest and promised.
"That's what my brother said, so don't blame me for holding you back and making sure you don't have enough fun." Xiao Siyue immediately became happy.
"No, brother means what he says."
"Alright, let's go." Xiao Siyue immediately stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait, are you really going to wear this?" Xiao Siyu quickly called out to the excited Xiao Siyue.
Xiao Siyue looked down at her clothes. She was wearing a blue dress that fluttered in the wind. She looked very beautiful, but it was definitely not suitable for riding a horse.
"Brother, wait for me, I'll go back and change my clothes right away."
Xiao Siyue returned to her courtyard, changed into a red, narrow-sleeved riding outfit, looking very capable and dashing. She even had Lan Yi braid her hair into a ponytail, making her look like a spirited young boy.
Xiao Siyue looked at herself narcissistically from left to right in front of the mirror.
"Miss looks so beautiful in this outfit, even more so than those young men," Lan Yi couldn't help but praise.
"Look, you're right. If Miss were a boy, she would surely charm countless women when she grows up," Chun Tao agreed wholeheartedly.
The young lady of their family has a unique temperament that sets her apart from other women. She possesses an indescribable confidence and poise, which makes her look very well-suited to wearing these clothes.
"Yes, it's really nice." Xiao Siyue was also very satisfied. She had never worn this kind of dress before. She had specially asked someone to make it for her, but she hadn't had a chance to wear it. She didn't expect it to suit her so well.
Xiao Siyue straightened her clothes and went to the main courtyard again.
Seeing Xiao Siyue enter, Lin Qin's eyes lit up: "Oh my, look at him! Whose young master is this? He's so handsome! Would you like to be my child?"
"Of course it's my mother's family, how about my mother?" Xiao Siyue said cooperatively.
"She's beautiful, our Yue'er is beautiful no matter what." Lin Qin liked her more and more as she looked at her. No wonder she was her daughter, she was just so outstanding.
"Hmm, how does that compare to my brother?"
Lin Qin glanced at Xiao Siyu sitting to the side and laughed heartily: "He's even more handsome than your brother."
Xiao Siyue glanced at Xiao Siyu smugly, "I'm even more handsome than you, really."
Xiao Siyu was very magnanimous and did not argue with Xiao Siyue: "Let's go, Fifth Brother is already waiting."
"We're here, Mom. We're leaving now." Xiao Siyue said goodbye to Lin Qin and followed behind Xiao Siyu.
"Siyu, protect your sister." Lin Qin shouted at Xiao Siyu.
"Yes, Mother, don't worry, I will protect Yue'er." Xiao Siyu turned and said.
The two walked to the gate, where Xiao Sining was already waiting on a large chestnut horse, leading another equally tall and magnificent steed.
Xiao Siyue didn't know much about horse breeds, but these two looked very spirited.
"Brother, what should I do?" Xiao Siyue looked around but couldn't see any other horses.
"Come on, let me help you up. Your brother will take you there."
"Huh?" While Xiao Siyue was still wondering, Xiao Siyu had already helped her onto the horse.
"Little sister, be careful, this horse is very fierce. Hold onto its neck first," Xiao Sining warned.
"Yes, Fifth Brother." Xiao Siyue responded, immediately holding tightly to the horse's neck with both hands, afraid of falling off.
Xiao Siyu stared at the stirrups, took a long stride, mounted the horse, sat behind Xiao Siyue, and put his arm around her.
Xiao Siyue also stood up instantly, gripping the saddle with both hands.
Xiao Siyu took the reins from Xiao Sining.
"Yue'er, sit tight, we're off."
"Mm." Xiao Siyue nodded.
"Giddy up!" With Xiao Siyu's voice, the horse shot off like an arrow.
The wind whistled past her ears, but Xiao Siyue wasn't afraid; instead, she was quite excited. She realized she'd been playing too peacefully all the time. This kind of thrilling activity was perfect for her. Why hadn't she thought of that sooner?
The two horses crossed the street and soon arrived at a manor that Xiao Siyue had never been to before.
"Brother, where is this place?" After dismounting, Xiao Siyue looked around curiously.
"This is the estate of the Duke of Anguo's manor, and there's a horse ranch inside. We'll be riding horses here today," Xiao Siyu replied.
"The Duke of Anguo's mansion, so this must be the Duke of Anguo's private estate. How did my brother end up here?" Xiao Siyue thought to herself, and then asked.
“My brother is good friends with the third young master of the Duke of Anguo’s mansion. He invited me here today. His sister is here too. You can play together later.” Xiao Siyu cleared up Xiao Siyue’s doubts.
So that's how it is. After arriving in the capital, Xiao Siyu made a few friends, but she didn't know them. She didn't expect that there were people from the Duke of Anguo's mansion among them.
