Lian Jialiang walked in against the sunshine. The young man looked very similar to Lian Fangyu, but his demeanor was different and he looked more childish and frivolous.
"Is my sister feeling better?"
Lian Jialiang looked at this sister whom he had not seen for a long time, and had to admit that although Lian Suisui was still a little chubby, her facial features were not bad, and she would definitely be a beauty if she lost weight.
I heard that she was engaged to King Cheng and then called off, which is a pity.
Lian Suisui didn't like the way he looked at her. She remembered that the original owner had a good relationship with him before, and it was reasonable for the brother and sister to have a close attitude.
"Thank you for your concern, brother. It's much better."
Lian Jialiang grinned.
"Look at you, eldest brother hasn't been back for a long time, why are you separated from me? I came back this time to bring you a gift."
The brother who returns home from school and still thinks about bringing gifts to his sister must be a good brother...
Lian Suisui was thinking this, and followed his movements curiously, and saw him taking out a handkerchief from his arms. There was something wrapped in the handkerchief, which looked like a jade hairpin.
There was another veil inside the veil. After patiently opening it, there was a... stone lying inside?
"Sister, don't underestimate this piece of stone!"
He held the stone and brought it close to him like a treasure.
"This is a marriage stone. I went to Yuelao Temple to ask for it. I put it in my purse and carried it with me. My sister will definitely marry a good man!"
Lian Suisui's mouth twitched. Seeing how cautious he looked, he thought it was some kind of treasure, but he didn't expect it was just a stone.
Maybe it's not necessarily what he went to Yuelao Temple to ask for.
Even Suisui accepted his kindness.
"Thank you, brother."
Although she doesn't need marriage now.
Lian Jialiang smiled warmly.
"My brother was not by your side before, so you were bullied by others. Now that my brother is back, if someone bullies you again, tell him that he will help you get revenge!"
His tone of coaxing the child was also very sincere. Lian Suisui hummed and said in a touching tone: "Thank you, brother!"
"You're welcome to follow me!"
Lian Jialiang rubbed his hands and looked at the furnishings in her room.
"I heard that the eldest princess came to visit my sister in person this morning. My sister is so lucky to be favored by the eldest princess. You know how many ladies in the capital are still unable to catch the eldest princess's eye!"
"I heard when I was at Yueshan Academy that my sister not only saved the eldest princess, but also rescued Uncle Nine Emperors on the street. Is it true that Uncle Nine Emperors gave her ten ingots of gold as a thank you gift?"
Lian Suisui nodded suspiciously. These things were not secrets in the capital. It was normal for him to have heard about them at Yueshan Academy.
"Brother has no other intention. He is just worried that you, a girl whose family has a lot of wealth, will be noticed by others."
He explained to himself.
Lian Suisui said casually: "I gave the money to my mother to help me buy wedding gifts for my brothers and sisters in the Qin family, and to help me prepare birthday gifts for my grandmother. I spent it all."
"Used everything?"
No penny left?
Lian Suisui nodded.
Lian Jialiang looked distressed.
"It's okay, I'm just asking casually. The Qin family is not an outsider. My second brother and I didn't come back in time for the old lady's birthday. It was indeed rude of us. My sister should help and give me an extra share."
Lian Suisui looked at him with a pair of innocent starry eyes, but saw him move his gaze away and focus on the gem-encrusted screen in her room.
"My mother treats my sister so well. I live in poor accommodation outside and have never used such an expensive screen."
The envy on his face made him want to ask Lian Suisui for it.
Lian Suisui snorted and corrected, "This screen was not given by my mother. It was given by the eldest princess."
Lian Jialiang's face was full of envy.
"Since it was given by the eldest princess, I can't ask for it. I originally wanted to borrow it from my sister for a few days."
His eyes began to scan elsewhere, and he spotted a pair of vases.
"This is also sent by the eldest princess."
"Then..." Lian Jialiang's eyes fell on Lian Suisui's dressing table, "This makeup set is made of mahogany, and it's worth a lot of money!"
Lian Suisui understood what he meant. He was not here to care about his sister who was beaten and knocked unconscious. He was here to fight Qiu Feng!
Xiaotao couldn't stand it.
"Eldest Young Master, this is also a gift from the eldest princess."
Lian Jialiang rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and Lian Suisui suddenly remembered that the original owner was not very smart in the past, and he deceived many good things with his sweet words. Lian Jialiang was nice and obedient, and the original owner was generous. Most of the jewelry Qin bought for the original owner was coaxed away by him and Xia Jing'er.
No wonder I wanted to bring her a gift when I returned home from school, and wanted to exchange a broken stone I picked up from nowhere for her real money.
The abacus is too loud!
"Sui Sui, do you have any spare money on hand? I'm a little tight lately. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. If I have to go out to socialize, I can't afford not to be able to spare a few taels of silver..."
Lian Suisui: "..."
I have never seen such a shameless person!
"Brother, cough..."
Lian Suisui stretched out his hand with difficulty and pulled out the hairpin from his head. When he saw that it was pure gold, he put it back in and replaced it with a silver one.
She was not willing to give him the silver hairpin.
"I've been tight lately, I don't have much money, ahem...if you don't mind, brother, I only have this hairpin..."
Lian Jialiang's eyes moved away from the gold hairpin on her head and looked at the inconspicuous silver hairpin. He sighed: "I am also a man of uprightness. How can I ask for my sister's hairpin? If my sister doesn't have it, forget it. I Think of another way.”
Mrs. Qin bought Lian Suisui all gold jewelry, but she was used to wearing a silver hairpin so that she could test for drugs at any time.
I didn’t expect to be disliked.
"Ahem, it's a pity that my body is not up to par, ahem...otherwise I would help big brother figure out a solution..."
Seeing that there was no money to be made in Lian Suisui's place, Lian Jialiang's attitude became less enthusiastic.
"It's okay. Since my sister is inconvenient, she can rest peacefully and don't worry about my affairs. I am the eldest son in the family after all, and I will have to support the family in the future..."
"Dad should be back soon. I'll go check out the front yard."
Lian Suisui nodded and sent him out of the room with his eyes.
"Miss, the eldest son looks a little unhappy!"
Unexpectedly, Xiaotao also became enlightened.
Lian Suisui chuckled.
"Of course he's not happy. He has never walked out of my place empty-handed before, and today he didn't see a single hair. It's no wonder he's happy!"
Xiao Tao asked doubtfully: "The eldest son is studying abroad and has living expenses every month. He doesn't have to pay for the tuition fees and the four treasures of the study. How can he still be short of money?"
Going to school outside without the constraints of home, you may have picked up some bad habits!
"I don't know. I'll tell my mother later and send someone to the academy to investigate and see what he's doing outside!"
Lian Jialiang didn't have a bad reputation when he was in the capital. Lian Suisui thought about it and found that apart from always coaxing jewelry and money from her to go out to eat and drink with friends, he had never caused any other trouble.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the yamen dismissed their duties early and gave them three days' holiday.
Lian Fangyu stepped into the door of the mansion, but there was no happy expression on his face.
