Chapter 40 Seasonal Trading Center

Hu'er took all the things she got from Aunt Qiao's house. She put it in an order of rope, bamboo where the floral cleanser is, and meat. Hu'er laid down the ropes that she made in front of her Dada. "These are for Dada, Daddy Yun He, Daddy Jiu Se, and Daddy Min Le. Dada can choose first. I can only finish four bracelet ropes. I'll give all Daddies their bracelets when I finish it. Aunt Qiao made me listen to a lot of things. She gave instruction, advice, and many more!"

"You've improved. My Hu'er has done well. Thank you for this beautiful gift." Jiu Hu chose one of the ropes and put it on him. He really likes it. Hu'er didn't give him the first rope, and he was sad about it. He even asked her to make him one. Now that he is wearing the rope, Jiu Hu feels this rope is the best of all ropes.

She pointed out the ropes, "Dada, I took a lot of materials for the rope. Help uncles get more materials." She just made sure her Dada would remember. They are all busy these days but they must never forget to pay up a debt.

"Of course, your Dada and Daddies will help them." Jiu Hu tapped her head. Actually, not only will they help them get materials, but they would also make some for Hu'er. They really didn't like to bring her there, but Hu'er likes to hang out with a female. It's just fortunate to have Xiang Qiao, and Aunt Qiao accompany Hu'er and they are also near their home.

"This bamboo…" She opened it, "The water inside is a floral cleanser, it's the one I use to clean my hair and body. It was given by Aunt Lin Wei Yu. Aunt Qiao said it's a gift for my second birthday."

"It smells different." Jiu Hu's nose twitched and closed it. He didn't like how strong the smell of this floral cleaner was. His nose is irritated by it. Jiu Hu becomes a little bit worried that Hu'er will use it and will smell like this.

Hu'er saw that her Dada didn't like it, "It's the new one. I only need to use a little amount to not make the smell stronger. Aunt Qiao also invited me to support Aunt Lin Wei Yu. She will be putting up a trade. Can I join Aunt Qiao?" Hu'er batted her eyes.

Jiu Hu chuckled and nodded. He then points at the salted meat, "How about this one?"

"Aunt Qiao said that we can borrow meat from them if we lack meat. She told me that they have a lot because her mates are always on patrols. Aunt Qiao also advised me to mate with a patrol…." Hu'er then went on and on. She told him everything Aunt Qiao said except about her being asked if her Daddies still bathed her. It's too embarrassing to say such a thing. Talking about mate things already made Hu'er restrain her shyness. She needs to know if Aunt Qiao gave her the right information. She trusts her Dada more, after all her Daddies never lied to her.

Once Hu'er finished telling him everything, Jiu Hu is in deep thought. Xiang Qiao would never tell so much not unless she heard something. Hu'er is only two yet Xiang Qiao talked about old females who teach the females, mates, and stuff that Hu'er didn't need to know yet. He wouldn't ask Xiang Qiao. Instead, he would call Shun Su later and ask him to snoop around.

"Dada, what did Aunt Qiao mean? Should I do what she advised?" Hu'er wants to know what Jiu Hu would say. It will now depend on him if Hu'er would become very picky or just picky in getting a mate. Either way, it's still the same. But getting advice would give her a reason to be picky and that's the whole point.

"When it comes to how many mates you would take, it's your decision. Don't need to rush. As long as you really like someone, go for it. You can just tell the old females you will take thirty but you don't need to feel pressured about it.

Aunt Qiao's right about having a patrol as a mate would be beneficial to you. However, she is also right about the disadvantage of having a patrol as a mate. You would worry a lot. Your mommy got three patrols as a mate. They are always injured and one died during patrol. Based on how your mommy cried every time she sees them injured, I don't recommend it."

"Are the two Daddies still alive?" Hu'er interrupted him because she knows that Jiu Hu would talk on and on. She might forget to ask about it.

"Yes. It's your Daddy Bao Hu and Daddy Fang Shou. They are still working as patrol. Anyway, if you need meat, your Dada and Daddies are still alive, we will hunt wild animals for you." He pats her head.

"Dada loves me the best." Hu'er giggles and crawls towards Jiu Hu. She sat down on her lap and grinned at him.

Jiu Hu chuckles, "It's good that you know. I'll tell your Daddy Yi Fu and Jiu Lin to make you a thick veil." Jiu Hu looks into her eyes, it is twinkling. Then he decided that "I would ask them to make the thinnest one for your eyes too. You might see a bit blurry but it is much safer." Hu'er eyes are too alluring. She might attract unwanted attention.

Hu'er just nodded. She actually just wants to see what Seasonal Trading Center is. Every time someone speaks of it, that word just rings a bell. Hu'er didn't like how she didn't know why the Seasonal Trading Center is so familiar to her but she never heard it from anyone or attended such a thing back when she was still at Moon Pavilion.

Also, she's used to wearing a veil. Even if it's blurry she knows who is handsome and not. It's a skill that she mastered.
