This soft voice and the tune that changed three times almost made Xie Ruzhuo surrender, but fortunately she quickly recovered her senses.
"No." These two simple words immediately rejected all Xie Huailin's little thoughts.
Hum!
Seeing this, Xie Huailin buried his little head on Xie Ruzhuo's shoulder, but his big black eyes turned around, and a pool of water came out of his eyes.
"Fourth sister..."
Unexpectedly, before Xie Huailin's emotions were brewing, he heard Xie Huainan say, "There are a lot of bad people out there, who specialize in catching disobedient kids like you who want to go out to play!"
…
Sure enough, at the critical moment, you still have to rely on your elder brother. Xie Huainan took the little thing and held it in his arms. With a straight face, the young master immediately shut his eloquent mouth.
In this family, the young master, relying on his position as the youngest, has nothing to fear but his elder brother. I didn’t practice Chinese calligraphy a few days ago and I got hit with a ruler a few times. I’m still not done yet. If I still fall into the hands of my elder brother, I’ll probably be pulled back and hit a few times with a ruler…
Thinking of this, the little thing flattened its mouth and turned its nose red.
"It's probably not good at all. Big brother will hit me. The ruler I punished a few days ago still hurts. Wow... wow... Big brother is a bad person."
This little thing... Who taught him to be so cunning? But at this time, he said such words...
Xie Huainan looked at the little thing in his arms and felt weak in his heart.
Because he was older and had a rather calm temperament, his father solemnly brought this little thing to his study room, praising him as "eldest brother like father."
Firstly, this child is his biological brother, and secondly, it is his father's entrustment. Furthermore, although this child is quite favored by the family, he is not overbearing and unreasonable, so I pay attention to his words and deeds whenever I have free time. Almost everything is done personally. It's rare that their temperaments get along well. The little one did make some mistakes on weekdays, but it was just a few strokes of the ruler, and he had to be coaxed for a long time afterward. The family is no longer surprised by their way of getting along with each other.
But on this festive day, you really can't spank your children. The Xie family has such rules.
As the eldest brother, he naturally couldn't help but beg for mercy in front of his younger brothers and sisters. But the little thing in his arms was actually more energetic. Xie Huainan only felt that his back was already wet.
"Why, you are still aggrieved after my elder brother said a few words to you? In my opinion, you are asking for it if you get slapped with the ruler a few more times. How dare you let a kid go out to watch the lanterns? Who gave you the courage?"
Xie Ruyue was already fussed over by this little guy, but now that she saw her elder brother coming, she quickly jumped in and echoed.
"Fourth sister, they all bully Yongan, wow... wow..."
The child seemed to cry even more aggrieved. Seeing them all scolding him, he quickly pointed his little arms in Xie Ruzhuo's direction.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Isn't it right, brother? Besides, it's already night during the lantern festival, and your little body can't stand the cold night. Don't we also have a lot of lights at home? You Look at the lights in the main courtyard for a while, then come back and sleep well. Tomorrow you can see the ghost face mask that my sister brought back for you, as well as your favorite pastries. Haven't you been talking about these two things for a long time? "
Xie Ruzhuo said all his good things, but Xie Huailin still looked like he didn't have enough money for food, rice, oil or salt. But Xie Huainan only said one sentence and successfully silenced Xie Huailin.
"You are still crying. If you look like this again, I will beat you on the Mid-Autumn Festival without asking father's order."
There were tears in the child's eyes, and he looked very lovable. Xie Huainan held the child in his arms again and gave a weak slap.
"Then fourth sister, remember to bring your things back."
The little thing was obviously still aggrieved, and his words were faintly sobbing. Xie Huainan took the handkerchief handed over by Pearl and wiped his brother's face, frowned, and finally said nothing. The Xie family has a strict family tradition, and the education of their children is not lenient. People with masks and clay dolls have always been criticized as playthings. But now that the little thing is so wronged, at this time, there is no need to scan his sex.
"Okay, okay, wash your face at sister's place and go to grandma's place to play. I've been urged there several times." Xie Ruyue took Xie Huailin, touched his head, and said, "Don't worry, tomorrow Be sure to put what you want in your room before you wake up."
…
call…
After seeing off the little ancestor, several people breathed a sigh of relief, except Xie Huainan, who gently stroked his forehead.
"This kid, Lin'er, is really spoiled by me."
Xie Ruyue and her sister remembered that the young master's cries and howls were often heard in his elder brother's study, mixed with the sound of a ruler, so they both lowered their heads and took a bite of their tea.
It's time to leave, it's time to follow yourself out, and don't even think about escaping. Xie Ruzhuo said with a crooked smile, "Second sister, let's go too. Just remember to avoid grandma's appearance, otherwise the young master will be sad again if he sees her. I guess I just earned a few extra bucks from my eldest brother."
Xie Ruyue glanced at her lightly and said, "It's just shopping, and it's not interesting. Later, I will go to the main courtyard to watch the lanterns with Lin'er. If you want to go, you should go first."
"Let's go, let's go. After we leave, you won't have many playmates in the house, so why not go out together and have fun."
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo turning into a rogue, Xie Ruyue immediately raised her forehead and said, "Big and small, none of them are doing anything right."
Seeing one of the sisters pulling hard and the other pulling on the table to prevent her body from moving even an inch, Xie Huainan almost had the urge to pull them up and beat them up.
…
Violence...is it really out of control
…
Xie Huainan was startled by his wandering thoughts and quickly pursed his lips. On the other hand, Ru Yue had also been pulled up and was arranging her clothes angrily.
It has to be said that such a festive day is almost celebrated by the whole country. Just saying that there is a festive atmosphere on the street.
It's not yet night time, red ribbons are fluttering almost everywhere, and the sounds of hawking are coming one after another on both sides of the street. The three brothers and sisters are hidden in the sea of people. They all feel that some of the unhappiness of the past few days has been washed away. Jiubao The two girls, Qianbi Pearl, followed their masters from a distance and squinted their eyes happily. After all, times like this are really rare.
Shopping seems to be the nature of women. The two sisters went straight to Linglong Pavilion after buying the gadgets that the young master liked at a few stalls on the edge.
Speaking of Linglong Pavilion, it is almost a household name in the capital. This jewelry store, which is known as the best jewelry store in Beijing, certainly deserves its reputation. The first moment the three people stepped into the door, they were greeted by a very smart man.
"Welcome you three, please come inside."
Linglong Pavilion is a small two-story building. There are dozens of large and small display cabinets on the first floor. As for the second floor, no one seems to have been there yet. Everyone often looks curious when talking about it.
To be honest, he was surrounded by ladies from official families, or at least aunts from wealthy families. In short, there were a lot of women crowded together in twos and threes. Xie Huainan only felt a headache when he saw this situation.
"Master, go and do it over there. There is good new tea."
Seemingly sensing Xie Huainan's predicament, the waiter thoughtfully pointed in a direction. Following his arm, Xie Huainan saw that there were seats on the other side of the counter. There were a few men sitting there, with steaming tea on the green table.
Xie Huainan just felt bored in every possible way while sitting in the elegant seat. He really couldn't figure out why there was so much to pick and choose between because they were all the same objects.
On the other hand, the Xie sisters here may have a common topic, and the previous estrangement was suddenly put aside. The two of them talked and laughed, and quickly turned around a few showcases.
"Sister, look at the pair of jasper bracelets over there. The texture is transparent. I think the jade is of good quality. Can we buy one for each of our sisters?"
The pair of jasper bracelets lay quietly inside the box, and the light they gave off was very beautiful. In fact, Xie Ruyue also saw this bracelet. She was originally worried that something would go wrong, but now that Xie Ruzhuo came here, she felt that it was her fault before.
"Look, it's really good! It's like we are two sisters." As he spoke, the clerk had already wrapped the bracelet in a handkerchief, and Xie Ruzhuo gestured with his arms on it, looking very happy.
This bracelet is indeed good, but the most important thing is to use her to mend the sisterhood.
"It's really not bad. If my sister likes it, just wrap it up."
Her behavior was obviously a show of goodwill, but as a sister, she couldn't lead her around, could she
So in the face of Xie Ruzhuo's various attentiveness, Xie Ruyue just calmly ordered the clerk to wrap the things.
How could Xie Ruzhuo not know Xie Ruyue's thoughts? They are obviously biological sisters, but they had conflicts before because of various things. Speaking of which, those things inside were almost all my fault. Xie Ruzhuo thought that he was not a person who dared to do things he didn't want to do. Since he was at fault first, it was normal for Xie Ruyue to complain a few words now. Anyway, the days are going to be long in the future, and the relationship between the sisters is happily being repaired slowly.
One day, the sisters will work together!
In fact, Xie Ruzhuo had a purpose for coming out today, not just to relax. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival now, and soon it will be stepmother Qiao's birthday. Now that I have bought things for my sister, I should bring some things back. After all, I will rely on this stepmother for many things in the future. The deadlock that was previously broken at the dinner table must now be slowly resolved with a gift.
Linglong Pavilion sells almost all the accessories that women need. The production level of this store is unmatched by other similar stores. Even the concubines in the palace occasionally go home to visit their relatives, and when the mood strikes, they will come in and pick out a few items to bring to the palace. It is precisely in order to cater to the needs of upper-class official ladies that the jewelry in Linglong Pavilion has been becoming more and more exquisite, but there are only a few styles left and right, and Qiao is not the same age as the young woman, until half an hour later Only then did Xie Ruzhuo fix his eyes on a jade-green hairpin.
"Second sister, look, is that hairpin suitable for my mother to wear?"
Xie Ruyue had already been tempered by such endless choices, but she was short-tempered today. Now seeing that Xie Ruzhuo finally found something she liked, she nodded quickly, "I think it's good, it suits her well. The style is good and the colors are nice.”
"Okay, that's it. It's almost done for today. Wait until I call my brother to come over and pay the bill."
