"Is it possible that you hid it secretly and were reluctant to take it out?" Ninth Senior Brother coolly interjected.
Although what Brother Ninth said was quite reasonable, he was a bit more straightforward this time——
Once such words are spoken, how can one get off the stage!
Immediately, there was silence on the table. Mrs. Xu awkwardly held the tea cup and stared at the half cup of herbal tea inside.
After a long while, Mr. Xu said coldly: "If we find Asarum, I will give it to Miss Ye with both hands!"
Young Master Xu’s words deeply touched my heart! I was very happy.
However, I, Ye Rong, have always been a modest and restrained lady, and I should never show my excitement in front of others. Therefore, I suppressed my eagerness and humbly said, "Young Master Xu, you don't have to be like this..."
In no mood--
"It's a deal!" Ninth Senior Brother's eyes shone brightly.
"Once a man says something, it's hard to follow him!" Young Master Xu was also very happy.
"Bah bang bang" three times, the Ninth Senior Brother and Young Master Xu high-fived and made an oath.
That being the case, I'm very pleased.
Since then, the four of us, brothers and sisters, have lived peacefully in the West Branch of Xu Mansion.
It is always boring to be idle all day long. On this day, I called a little girl named Ying'er to lead the way, and I found Senior Brother Nine and Senior Brother Xiaobai to go for a walk in the garden of Xu Mansion.
For some unknown reason, Fifth Senior Brother has been walking around the market every day in recent days, but now he has disappeared again.
The Xu family is worthy of being a well-known wealthy family in the dynasty. The garden is very well built, with flowing water rockery, small bridges and flying pavilions. It has traces of artificial carvings without losing the natural and simple style. It is very interesting.
Turning around the rockery, bypassing the running water, parting the osmanthus branches, and walking to a place, a fragrance suddenly hit your nose. Although osmanthus flowers are planted all over Xu's mansion, the fragrance is more elegant than the fragrance of flowers, and richer than the fragrance of grass. It's very refreshing to smell it.
I hurriedly took two steps, and when I looked forward, I saw a flower garden beside the pond.
I don’t know what kind of flowers are in this flowerbed. They are all red and look very pleasing to the eye.
Brother Ninth took a look at it and folded it with his hand.
The little girl Ying'er was very frightened when she saw it. She knelt down in panic and begged for mercy: "Sir, please be merciful. This is the herb planted by my young lady..."
When the Ninth Senior Brother heard this, he snorted and said, "Why do I care about all these things? If I fall in love with this flower, I will naturally climb up and down it!"
As he said this, he pinched and picked off a cluster. As if the ninth senior brother had not had enough, he stretched out his hand and pinched again, and another cluster came out.
Ying'er was about to cry, she took a step forward, knelt at my feet, and whispered: "Miss Ye, please be merciful. If the prince destroys this medicine garden, I will not be able to bear it..."
As soon as Ying'er said these words, Ninth Senior Brother immediately became angry: "You won't let me pinch you, but I insist on pinching you!" He said and stretched out his hand again.
Alas, this flower is blooming so well, wouldn't it be a pity to pinch it off? Ninth Senior Brother's little paws are too disobedient.
I took a step forward to pull his wrist, but Senior Brother Xiaobai was one step ahead of me, raised the handle of the fan and hit the back of his hand, with a snap, Senior Brother Ninth felt pain, retracted his hand, and jumped to the side twice. He breathed a sigh of relief on the back of his hand and shouted: "Xiao Bai, you are so cruel..."
I looked up and saw that there was a red mark on the back of Brother Ninth Brother's hand. Oh, how pitiful...
"Who's being arrogant here?" Suddenly, a familiar cold shout came from the osmanthus bush.
