The horse carriage started off with a clatter, with the back compartment feeling stuffy and swarming with mosquitoes. Su Qingluo lifted the curtain and took out a mosquito-repellent sachet from her small basket, hanging it around Little Baby’s neck.
She feared Little Baby’s tender skin would attract mosquitoes and make him suffer from itchy bites.
“Sister Yu, do you still have any of those fragrant sachets for refreshing the mind? Can you give me one more?”
Su Ziqin stole a glance at Little Baby’s sachet, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
The sachets that Su Qingluo made had exceptional uses, like the one that helped refresh the mind and improve memory when studying, making learning twice as effective with half the effort.
“Sure, whatever Sister wants, I have it anytime.”
Su Qingluo lifted her little face, smiling sweetly, and took out a sachet from the small basket to give to her.
“Sister, I want one too.”
Su Zixuan curiously eyed the small basket that Su Qingluo held, itching to open the lid and see what treasures lay inside.
“Brother, here you go.”
Su Qingluo reached her delicate white hand into the basket, removing another sachet to pass to him.
“How wonderful! ”
Su Zixuan received the sachet, lifting it to his nose to take a deep breath, loudly praising it, “The sachet my sister made smells so nice, even better than the ones made by the embroiderers at the boutique.”
“Mother made the sachet, I just added a little medicinal plant.”
Su Qingluo tugged at her adorable little voice as she nuzzled affectionately against Li Xiu’e’s arm, “It’s Mother who has skilled hands, the embroidery is so beautiful.
“Your mother’s hands are not as good as your sweet-talking mouth; you sure know how to make people happy.”
Li Xiu’e basked in joy as she extended her arm to embrace Su Qingluo’s tender little body into her bosom.
In Su Qingluo’s arms, Little Baby was squeezed uncomfortably in the middle, his teary eyes looking wronged as he pursed his lips, on the verge of crying.
“Xuan’er, don’t cry, sister will give you something yummy to eat.”
Seeing him about to wail, Su Qingluo quickly wriggled out from Li Xiu’e’s embrace and took out a soft, fingernail-sized piece of dried sweet potato from her small basket, shoving it into his mouth.
The dried sweet potato was soft and sweet, perfect for feeding little pets, and it happened to be Little Kingfisher’s favorite snack.
Su Qingluo’s small basket was always stocked with dried sweet potato, and at this moment, it served another excellent purpose by stopping Little Baby’s gaping mouth.
“Smack smack .
Little Baby sucked on the sweet taste of the dried sweet potato, happily eating away.
“Sister, what other treasures are in your little basket? Let me have a look.”
Unable to resist any longer, Su Zixuan leaned over to inspect the little basket curiously.
“If Brother wants to see, just look.”
Su Qingluo sweetly smiled and pushed the little basket a bit closer to him.
“Great!”
Su Zixuan was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear.
With the lid of the little basket opened, not only Su Zixuan but also Li Xiu’e and Su Ziqin craning their necks to have a look.
In the small basket, there were a dagger, a pack of silver needles, a small roll of bandages, three small boxes of hemostatic ointment – all collected for the purpose of saving lives. There were also three sachets, a sewing kit, a small pack of dried sweet potato, two purse-like bags, one with medicinal pills and the other with silver coins. The most eye-catching item was a straight, thumb-thick, baby-arm-length bamboo flute, in a vibrant green color.
“Wow, sis, your little basket is like a treasure trove!”
Su Zixuan was amazed by the variety of items in the small basket, exclaiming in wonder.
“Sister Yu, is this a bamboo flute?”
Su Ziqin’s attention was entirely drawn to the green bamboo, picking it up from the small basket and holding it in her hands, not wanting to let go..
