Wen Yanxi took another step forward, with an emotion in her eyes that Wen Jiaojiao couldn't quite understand, as if she was cautiously testing.
Wen Jiaojiao did not dare to communicate casually in front of these main characters for fear of triggering some serious plot. She still wanted to survive until she was eighteen.
Seeing that Wen Yanxi still wanted to come over and talk to her, Wen Jiaojiao raised her chin slightly to say hello, then ignored her and walked out the door.
She also likes beautiful women. Who doesn’t love beautiful sisters? Such beautiful people feel better when they look at them. It’s great that they are all a harmonious family. Why do they want to engage in some kind of house-female competition?
Wen Yanxi had long been accustomed to Wen Ruyue's always condescending attitude. Seeing Wen Ruyue turn around and walk away without saying a word, Wen Yanxi's eyes showed a little surprise.
This fourth sister seems a little different from the past?
Outside the gate of the Wen Mansion, the second son of the Wen family, Wen Heng, the third son of the Wen family, Wen Huai, and Wen Ruyue's second cousin, Xiao Xuan'an, have been waiting for a long time.
The Wen family has a total of four daughters and four sons, all ranked separately.
Except for the eldest sister who is already married, the eldest son who is busy with his studies, and the youngest fourth son, the other young ladies and gentlemen of the Wen family are all preparing to go to the hunting grounds.
Wen Miaoran got on the carriage early. When she saw Wen Jiaojiao coming out, the maid next to her pouted and was about to lower the carriage curtain, but Wen Miaoran caught her.
If Wen Ruyue slapped her face in front of her, she would get into trouble.
Sure enough, when Wen Jiaojiao saw Wen Miaoran's maid's actions, Lao Liu urged her to step forward and cause trouble.
Wen Jiaojiao's mouth twitched. Really, if the heroine was present, she would be forced by the system to start the show.
Wen Jiaojiao narrowed his eyes, looked at Wen Miaoran's carriage and snorted coldly, pulled the whip in his hand and was about to step forward.
"Xiaoyue'er!"
When Xiao Xuanan saw Wen Jiaojiao, he called her happily.
Wen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, savior, good brother!
Wen Jiao'an glanced past his two brothers and looked at Xiao Xuan'an.
The three young men are obviously about the same age, but Xiao Xuanan stands out more among them. However, he has a unique youthful spirit, bright and enthusiastic, like the sun in summer.
"Xiao Yue'er, please make it easier for your second brother to wait!"
Xiao Xuan'an came up to him with a smile on his face. Wen Jiaojiao made a dissatisfied look and said, "Second brother, do you think Yue'er is neglecting you?"
Wen Ruyue has always called Xiao Xuanan brother, never cousin. She is closer to the two cousins in the Xiao family than to her several concubine brothers.
"Why do I dislike Xiao Yue'er? I can't wait to see Xiao Yue'er."
Xiao Xuanan smiled heartily, put his hands under her armpits, lifted her up and spun her around twice.
"Second brother! Put me down quickly, I'm not a child anymore."
Wen Jiaojiao had never been so close to a man, nor had he been lifted up like a child like this. He was immediately frightened and his body tensed up.
Listening to Wen Jiaojiao's soft and angry voice, Xiao Xuanan put her down in a good mood and touched her head, "She is lighter than before. She must have not eaten well."
Looking at such a handsome young man, Wen Jiaojiao doesn't have to pretend to be happy. Her mood will improve when she sees the handsome boy. She likes such energetic people very much.
In his impression, his little cousin is a very picky eater.
Yuzhu smiled on the side and answered for her: "It's the real second cousin. Miss has eaten well and taken medicine every day for the past half month. Madam praised her for being much more sensible."
Xiao Xuanan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and pinched her cheek gently, "My little Yue'er has grown up."
Wen Jiaojiao's two brothers suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Wen Jiaojiao and Xiao Xuan'an being so close. It was obvious that they were Ru Yue's biological brothers. Although they had the same father and mother, they were at least closer in blood than the Xiao family.
Brother, get closer.
Especially the second eldest child, Wen Heng, frowned when he heard her calling Xiao Xuanan second brother. Wen Ruyue rarely called him second brother. He was Wen Miaoran's biological brother. Naturally, he didn't like this person who was always indulgent and always wanted to cause trouble for Wen Miaoran.
Fourth sister.
But their unobtrusive intimacy was really uncomfortable.
Xiao Xuanan watched Wen Ruyue's two concubine brothers turn around and get on their horses, glanced at them coldly, took Wen Jiaojiao's hand, and led her to a horse.
"Come, my second brother will take you riding today."
Wen Ruyue reached out and touched the horse in front of her, and the horse nuzzled her hand very docilely.
She had ridden a horse once or twice in the past, but she always had a trainer leading the horse. She only walked a few slow laps, and the horse was not as tall and strong as the one in front of her.
Wen Ruyue's poor health caused her to suffer from carriage sickness, which was the same as her modern motion sickness. Riding a horse was much easier than riding a carriage. Everyone in the Xiao family knew about her problem, but she had been in poor health in the past and rarely had the opportunity to ride a horse.
You still have to travel by horse-drawn carriage.
Xiao Xuanan saw that Wen Ruyue's condition was much better today than before, so he thought of taking her to ride a horse with him.
Xiao Xuan'an lifted Wen Jiaojiao gently and carried her onto the horse. He turned over neatly and sat behind Wen Jiaojiao. He took Wen Jiaojiao's reins and pinched the horse's belly under his feet. The horse immediately trotted forward.
As soon as the horse moved, Wen Jiaojiao's body tensed up. It was the first time for her to ride a horse like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Yue'er, my second brother is here and won't throw you."
Xiao Xuanan comforted Wen Jiaojiao softly, and held her hand slightly tightly.
Wen Jiaojiao pressed her back against the young man's tight chest, feeling his steady heartbeat and feeling much more at ease.
After they left the capital and arrived outside the city, Xiao Xuanan began to lead Wen Jiaojiao on horseback in the vast plains.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at the autumn atmosphere outside, riding his horse and riding the wind, feeling in a good mood. He couldn't help but laugh loudly on the horse along with Xiao Xuan'an.
It had been a long time since she had experienced this feeling of freedom.
The miserable migrant workers shed tears.
After running for a while, Xiao Xuanan slowed down and looked at Wen Jiaojiao in his arms with some surprise.
She has always been delicate and can't bear any tiredness or pain. Usually, if she rides a horse for a while, she will stop him and complain and act coquettishly. She is actually very timid and doesn't dare to ride a horse.
He felt that his little cousin was a little different today.
He felt that she was more beautiful and brighter, her complexion was healthier than before, and her temperament seemed to be much more peaceful. The vague gloom between her eyebrows dissipated, making him seem to see her childhood again.
That little Yue'er is always happy.
It seems that he should take Yue'er out more often to relax, instead of letting her stay in the Wen Mansion all the time.
Thinking of the neglect Wen Ruyue and her mother had received in the Wen Mansion, Xiao Xuanan's expression turned cold.
If it weren't for the support of her aunt and Yue'er from the Xiao family, there's no telling what kind of cold treatment she would have received in the Wen Mansion.
After passing through a red maple forest, Xiao Xuanan brought Wen Jiaojiao to the hunting ground.
Many camps have been stationed here for a long time, and various safety fences have been encircled. In the huge paddock, young ladies from various aristocratic families shuttled around, competing in horseback riding and archery, having open-air banquets, literati and poets exchanging pens and ink, and even
There are songs and dances playing, and the scene is very lively.
