Lu Jingyuan, who was stopped by the young man, lowered his long eyes slightly. He held the tea cup with his uninjured right hand and gently put it to his lips. His long eyelashes hid all his emotions. His voice was deep and sounded a little cold: "It looks like
Yes."
The young man didn't pay attention to his indifference. He looked at the carriage and walked away, then he looked away and said in confusion: "Huh? That's not right. Then, if there are not three young masters in Xiao Siye's house, how can they come from a girl's family?" After asking, without waiting for Lu Jingyuan to answer, he clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Is it possible that this is the step-in-law he plans to remarry?"
Lu Jingyuan didn't say anything, he just held the tea cup with his fingers, but couldn't help but move.
The movement was so small that the young man opposite did not notice it.
The other party was still chattering with speculations, but Lu Jingyuan only divided his attention to listen.
At this time, he tried hard to control his restless heartbeat and calm his obviously ups and downs of emotions.
Like.
So similar!
Although the white gauze curtain obscured the other party's appearance, both the other party's figure and the elegant posture when getting into the carriage looked very much like her.
There were surging emotions hidden in the dark eyes, but they were slowly suppressed by Lu Jingyuan.
After Xiao Nianzhi got on the carriage, he thought about it carefully.
She still felt that someone should be watching her at that time.
There is no malicious intent in the gaze, but there is a sense of sizing up.
I didn’t stay long, but I definitely observed her.
This gave her a bad feeling, but...
Some things cannot be confirmed.
Therefore, you still have to strengthen yourself!
Later, when passing by the bookshop, Xiao Nianzhi bought rice paper and ink ingots for his two brothers whom he had never met.
Savings are shrinking rapidly, and things related to scholars, if you want to be decent enough to get rid of them, are not cheap.
Xiao Siye advised her that her family did not need to be like this.
In this regard, Xiao Nianzhi just explained that when meeting for the first time, you need to prepare a little bit.
She persisted, and Xiao Siye did not try to persuade her any more. He was thinking about how to give Xiao Nianzhi some money later.
How much savings can the little girl have in her hands?
I'm afraid I'll spend all my money on this meeting.
Xiao Siye lives on Changqing Street, not far from the city gate.
Most of the people living in this area are scholars or civil servants.
Of course, the official ranks are not very high, and the dignitaries live in the central area.
But this area is relatively quiet, and the neighborhood relationship is considered harmonious.
Xiao Siye's family lives in a small courtyard, which is actually not too small.
When getting off the carriage, Xiao Siye briefly introduced the neighbors to Xiao Nianzhi.
On the left is Yuji Restaurant, and on the right is Zhang Shidu’s house in Hanlin Academy.
Everyone is entering the courtyard for the second time, and the streets in this area are also very neat and clean.
After Xiao Nianzhi read it, he was quite satisfied with the temporary living environment.
When Xiao Siye returned to the house, the housekeeper was waiting in front of the house early in the morning and had already opened the door after hearing the noise.
Uncle Zheng went to the backyard to deliver the carriage, and Xiao Siye took Xiao Nianzhi into the house.
Uncle Qin, the butler, led the way with a smile: "The third young master came back at noon, and the second young master came back after noon with Mr. Feng's carriage. At this time, both young masters are studying."
On the way back, Xiao Siye had already explained to Xiao Nianzhi that Xiao Ye, the eldest son of the Xiao family, had not returned from a study trip, so she could not see anyone for the time being.
Xiao Siye was afraid that Xiao Nianzhi was hungry, so he directly asked about lunch: "Has lunch been prepared? When it is ready, please call the two young masters to come over for dinner."
When it was his first visit, Xiao Nianzhi was not in a hurry to show off.
Butler Qin responded with a smile: "It's ready, then I'll go and invite the two young masters."
While Manager Qin was talking, he led the two people to the dining room, and then called the two young masters.
The two young masters were reading in the study room in the main courtyard, which is not far from the dining room, just tens of meters away.
On the way, the third young master Xiao Qing muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if this sister from my hometown is easy to get along with. Hey, second brother, have you seen her over there at the academy?"
The second young master, Xiao Zhou, shook his head after hearing this: "I've seen it once from a distance, but I've never seen it clearly."
When Xiao Nianzhi first arrived, Xiao Siye told Xiao Zhou to take care of his sister.
However, he does not have the habit of eating late night snacks, so he can only pay attention to it every day.
It's just that Xiao Nianzhi is in the backyard every day, so it's really hard to see her.
The reason why Xiao Zhou saw it was because during the roast duck that day, he crowded in with the students who were watching from a distance and took a look from a distance.
Xiao Qing wanted to mutter something, but Xiao Zhou turned his head and looked at him with a half-smile.
This glance made Xiao Qing's scalp numb. He instinctively took a step back and asked nervously: "You, what do you want to do? Don't, don't, don't think that you are my second brother, I will let you."
Xiao Zhou didn't care about his dodge, and just smiled: "I forgot to remind you, the new sister is one year older than you."
There is no need to say the following words, Xiao Qing already understands them.
So, in the end, he is still a younger brother!!!
Xiao Qing was dumbfounded on the spot, but Xiao Zhou was already striding forward.
After reacting, Xiao Qing jogged a few steps, gritted her teeth, but controlled her voice: "Didn't you agree that it's my sister's?"
Why, he can’t be the older brother?
Two people came in quickly. Xiao Nianzhi had already sat down. When he saw the two people coming in, he quickly got up and followed Xiao Siye.
They are all members of his own family. Xiao Siye has a gentle attitude and a soft tone and introduces the two brothers to Xiao Nianzhi first: "This is the second brother Xiao Zhou, and that is the third brother Xiao Qing."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at his two boys and introduced Xiao Nianzhi to them: "This is my sister from Chenzhou's hometown. Think about it."
Xiao Siye is not in a hurry to say his name, just take your time to get in touch.
You will get to know each other very quickly.
When Xiao Zhou came in, he saw Xiao Nianzhi.
Without him, she is the only one in the whole room who is so white that she shines.
She has cold fair skin, lychee eyes and a face as big as a palm, and there is a bit of childishness on her face, making it difficult for people not to notice her.
A very beautiful little girl, easily stunning at first sight.
However, this was her younger sister, so Xiao Zhou had nothing else on his mind. He looked at it appreciatively and then nodded politely towards Xiao Nianzhi.
When the Xiao brothers were observing Xiao Nianzhi, she was also observing the two brothers.
The second brother Xiao Zhou stands tall and tall, and is as handsome as a bamboo. His appearance is the one that stands out between the two brothers, and his skin is much whiter than that of the third brother.
When looking at a person, his gentle eyebrows, humble attitude, and bookish air can already tell his identity.
With him as a comparison, the third brother Xiao Qing standing aside looked much inferior.
The other party's skin is slightly darker and his appearance is close to Xiao Siye.
The pure childishness between the eyebrows is very obvious and looks very cute.
Yes, cute.
Xiao Nianzhi thinks this word is more appropriate to describe it.
Xiao Qing didn't quite understand why his sister from his hometown felt a little cold on his back when he looked at him.
However, this could not stop him from being stunned by Xiao Nianzhi's glance.
Xiao Qing thought to herself: If she is such a beautiful sister, then she should be her younger brother.
