Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1046 - 1042: Tang Tang the Little Chatterbox

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1042: Tang Tang the Little Chatterbox

Tang Tang, who put on the puppet, seemed to be turning into a little chatterbox.

"Aunt Taozi, why are you called Taozi and not Apricot, Banana, or Big Watermelon..."

"Aunt Ruan Ruan, your shoes are so pretty, can I try them on..."

"Little Monkey (Shen Siyuan), where’s your fur? Why don’t you have any fur on you..."

"Granny Jiang, what did you eat that makes your tummy so big, like this (Tang Tang mimics Jiang Yingxue’s belly), oh, turns out there’s a little baby hiding inside..."

"Grandpa Ruan, do you have a little baby in your tummy too? Are they playing hide and seek with Granny Jiang’s baby? I want to play too..."

"Sister Xiao Mao, the food you make is so delicious, I could eat a whole table full..."

"Xiao Ya, let me play with your Magic Wand, watch me turn Little Monkey into a big lion..."

"Sister Xiao Yue, you don’t look happy, why aren’t you happy, tell me so I can cheer you up..."

...

"This little one is so noisy, wait until she falls asleep at night, I’ll hide her puppet," Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

"How is it noisy? Don’t you think it’s cute?" Ruan Hongzhuang said with a laugh.

"You’re upset because she gave you a nickname, right?" Taozi said with a smile on the side.

Jiang Yingxue reached out for the fruit handed by Ruan Xiangqian and said, "It seems my trip was worthwhile, with so many adorable children at home. When the baby is born, it will surely be as lively and cute as they are."

"Do you think she’s doing it on purpose? She can call everyone else’s names correctly, why does she give me a nickname and keep changing it..." Shen Siyuan said somewhat helplessly.

At this moment, Tang Tang walked over holding her shark puppet, "Little Mouse, are you talking bad about me? I can feel it, you know..."

"Your intuition is spot on, I am talking bad about you, so what can you do about it?"

"I will get mad, you know."

"And then?"

"Then I’ll huff and puff..."

The little one tried hard to widen her eyes, but soon felt a strain and had to blink rapidly.

"han~"

Drool dripped down the corner of her mouth.

"Yuck~" Shen Siyuan pretended to be disgusted.

"han~"

Tang Tang pounced directly into his arms, intending to wipe with his clothes.

Shen Siyuan quickly supported her under the arms, picking her up off the ground.

The little one looked as if she was riding a windfire wheel, her little legs paddling in the air. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Though it seemed like a struggle, Shen Siyuan, who was holding her, clearly felt his hands were no longer burdened; she was actually floating.

"No way," Shen Siyuan brought her to the front and kissed her small cheek.

"han~"

Tang Tang giggled happily and then raised the shark puppet in her hand.

"Troublemaker, stop causing trouble..."

Shen Siyuan: ...

Don’t think I haven’t watched Dora the Explorer.

Shen Siyuan played around with Tang Tang for a while before setting her down.

Then he spoke to Ruan Xiangqian, who was sitting opposite: "Dad, I have something I’d like to ask your help with?"

As soon as he said this, everyone’s eyes turned to him, curious about what matter he needed Ruan Xiangqian’s help with.

Ruan Xiangqian was especially pleased, patting his chest to assure, "Just tell me whatever you need."

"Do you know any linguistics experts or scholars who study ancient texts? There’s something I’d like to consult them about..."

"I’m afraid I don’t know any, but I can handle this," Ruan Xiangqian was initially taken aback by the question but then readily agreed.

This isn’t too difficult a task, as long as money is involved, he believed those experts could be invited.

"Then I’ll trouble you."

"Oh, come on, we’re family, no need for formalities."

Ruan Xiangqian was extremely pleased to be able to assist Shen Siyuan.

"I’ll contact them for you right now."

Ruan Xiangqian took out his phone and went to the side to make calls.

"Do you have some documents you need translating?" Ruan Hongzhuang inquired curiously from the side.

Shen Siyuan nodded. He had long wanted to find an expert to study the writings on the stone door in the Qiongzhou Netherworld Administration Office.

And there was also the copper mirror obtained from the Yangzhou Netherworld Ruins, which had some patterns on the back that seemed to resemble writing.

In fact, handing this matter over to the Special Affairs Bureau would have been the most convenient.

But Shen Siyuan didn’t approach them, instead, he sought out Ruan Xiangqian, for a reason, of course.

Because relationships don’t grow out of thin air; they are built through exchanges and interactions.

He could tell Ruan Xiangqian and his wife were still somewhat unfamiliar with him, even somewhat reverent.

But since he had married Ruan Hongzhuang, accepting her identity, he needed to solidify this relationship.

For some minor issues, they would be more than happy to help.

Ruan Xiangqian acted quickly, and within an hour, he had results after just a few calls.

"I got in touch with an ancient text expert in Xiajing, but he’s quite elderly, so you might have to go there personally, or at the very least send some photos, which would be most convenient..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan shook his head, "This is very important, I’d better go personally."

Ruan Xiangqian immediately understood Shen Siyuan’s thoughts: not wanting to leave photos indicated the importance of the item.

"Alright, when are you going to Xiajing? I’ll inform them there in advance."

"Is tomorrow okay?"

"Of course."

Ruan Xiangqian recalled Shen Siyuan’s ability to travel instantly and suddenly felt that a personal trip was perhaps a simple task for him.

He once again took his phone to the balcony for further communication.

While making his call, he suddenly felt a light pinch on his thigh.

Looking down, he saw it was Tang Tang, with the shark puppet on her hand, biting him.

Ruan Xiangqian chuckled and rubbed her little head fondly.

Tang Tang tilted her head up, raising her puppet, "Grandpa Ruan, who were you talking to?"

Having concluded his call, Ruan Xiangqian put away his phone and answered, "A very good friend."

"A friend? I also have good friends," Tang Tang said.

"Oh, and who is your good friend? Xiao Ya?"

"No, it’s Bad Dou Dou," Tang Tang said.

"Bad Dou Dou?" Ruan Xiangqian was initially confused, then he chuckled, "You’re talking about Dou Dou, right? Since you two are good friends, why do you call her Bad Dou Dou?"

"She’s hard to eat," Tang Tang said, sticking out her little tongue.

Ruan Xiangqian: ...

Is she talking about eating in the way I think she is?

Just then, Tang Tang continued, "Hard to eat, spoiled, that’s Bad Dou Dou."

"You’re not tasty either, you’re not sweet at all, yet you’re named Tang Tang, you big liar..."

At this moment, an indignant voice came from nearby, and turning his head, who else could it be but Dou Dou.

"Oh~"

Upon seeing her, Tang Tang turned around and ran.

Dou Dou didn’t immediately chase after her, instead, she supported her chin with one hand, contemplating.

Ruan Xiangqian was curious about what she was up to and overheard Dou Dou asking, "Was she holding a new toy just now?"

"Yes," Ruan Xiangqian nodded.

"It looked fun, I’m going to get it for myself," Dou Dou declared, waving her hand before striding inside.

Ruan Xiangqian: ...

No wonder Tang Tang calls her Bad Dou Dou.
