Lu Jingyuan, who was stopped by the young man, lowered his eyes slightly at this time. 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 a little cold: "It looks like .”
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. If there are not three young masters in Xiao Siye's house, how can they come from a girl's house?"
After asking, without waiting for Lu Jingyuan's 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 his fingers on the teacup, but couldn't help but move.
The movement was so small that the boy opposite didn't 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.
picture.
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.
The gaze was not malicious, but it had the meaning of appraising him.
He didn't stay long, but he 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 be somewhat prepared.
She insisted, and Xiao Siye didn't try to persuade her any more. He was thinking about how to give Xiao Nianzhi some money later.
How much savings can a little girl have in her hands?
I'm afraid that this meeting will be all spent.
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 relations are harmonious.
Xiao Siye's family is the second in a small courtyard, which is actually not a small place.
When getting off the carriage, Xiao Siye briefly introduced his 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 mansion, the housekeeper was waiting in front of the mansion early in the morning. Hearing the noise, he had already opened the door.
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 the eldest son of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Ye, had not returned from his study abroad 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 he came to visit for the first time, 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 was not far from the dining room, just tens of meters away.
On the way, the third young master, Xiao Qing, murmured 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 had told Xiao Zhou to take care of his sister.
However, he has no 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 him.
The reason why Xiao Zhou saw it was because when he was roasting duck that day, he crowded around 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.
So, at the end of the day, he's still a little brother! ! !
Xiao Qing was stunned 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?
The 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 from his own family. Xiao Siye has a gentle attitude and introduces the two brothers to Xiao Nianzhi in a soft tone: "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 my hometown in Chenzhou. Think about it."
Xiao Siye is not in a hurry to say his name, just take his time to get in touch.
My family will get to know each other very quickly.
When Xiao Zhou came in, he saw Xiao Nianzhi.
Without him, she was the only one in the whole room who was so white that she glowed.
She has cold fair skin, litchi eyes and a face the size of 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 glance.
However, this was her younger sister, so Xiao Zhou had nothing else on his mind. He looked at her 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, is tall and tall, handsome as a bamboo. His appearance is the one that stands out between the two brothers, and his skin is much fairer than that of the third brother on the other side.
When looking at people, 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 person'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 felt that this word was 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 amazed by Xiao Nianzhi's glance.
Xiao Qing thought to herself: If she is such a beautiful sister, then she should be her younger brother.
