Drunken Snow Pavilion.
Accompanied by the cool evening breeze, Xiao Qintang came back in a hurry from outside.
"Brother!"
Seeing Xiao Chongjing sitting in the pavilion, she quickened her pace, held up her garnet red skirt, and rushed in like a ball of fire.
Squeezing next to Xiao Chongjing, she hugged his arm and began to sway and act coquettishly, "Brother, you are finally back. Your sister-in-law forces me to study every day when you are not at home. I am almost exhausted."
Xiao Chongjing smiled.
He was away from home during the war and rarely contacted his family. Now that he suddenly met his sister, he was naturally happy.
So even though he knew clearly that this sister was cheating, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and shook his head helplessly, "You, you just rely on your sister-in-law to be easy to talk to."
"How can I...my sister-in-law is obviously too old-fashioned."
Xiao Qintang flattened her mouth and was unconvinced. When she raised her eyes, she met the curious gaze of Yin Xiaorou next to her.
The two were of the same age, and Yin Xiaorou deliberately catered to them, and they quickly became familiar with each other after just a few words. You tease me and I laugh at you, and things get better soon.
Xiao Qintang took out the trophy from today's shopping as if it were a treasure - a face-shaped man.
She raised her hand and put the doughboy into Yin Xiaorou's hand, and said generously: "I'll give it to you as a meeting gift."
"How does this work?"
Before Yin Xiaorou could speak, Ruan Yunluo shook his head and expressed his stance.
"Why not?" Xiao Qintang said nonchalantly, "This is my thing. I can give it to whoever I want. Sister-in-law, don't be so stingy?"
Xiao Chongjing also frowned and looked at Ruan Yunluo with some displeasure, "Yunluo, he's just a faceless person."
"The general is right, he's just a face-to-face person, how can he be considered as a meeting gift?" Ruan Yunluo agreed with Xiao Chongjing, and taught Xiao Qintang earnestly: "Third sister, it's fine if you are an ordinary guest, but Miss Xiao Rou, she But your brother’s savior, how can you be so negligent?”
"I...what did I neglect?!"
Xiao Qintang felt aggrieved and wronged, and even with the table full of delicacies, she instantly lost her appetite.
"I won't eat it!"
She put down her chopsticks heavily, acting like a young lady, and waited for Ruan Yunluo to coax her.
But today, Ruan Yunluo didn't know that he had taken the wrong medicine. Not only did he ignore her, but he looked at Yin Xiaorou and his sister with concern, "How are you? Are you not scared?"
Yin Xiaorou shook her head.
She glanced at Xiao Qintang's angry look timidly, and then glanced at Xiao Chongjing with a confused look on her face, not knowing what to do.
"Tang'er, what's your attitude?" Sensing Yin Xiaorou's uneasiness, Xiao Chongjing immediately looked at his sister displeased and ordered in a low voice, "Quickly, apologize to Miss Rou."
"I don't."
Xiao Qintang frowned and couldn't help but glare at Yin Xiaorou.
Yin Xiaorou's eyes turned red and she quickly shook her head humbly, "No, no need."
"Tang'er has a bad temper, Miss Rou, please forgive me." Ruan Yunluo smiled apologetically, then looked at Xiao Qintang, and reminded her gently: "Third sister, I remember that you still have a few pieces of rain silk brocade in your house, and it just so happens that Xiao Rou The girl didn’t bring any clothes when she first arrived, so why don’t you be more generous and give them to Miss Xiao Rou as a meeting gift.”
"Why!"
Xiao Qintang was anxious, "It was specially given to me by Aunt Xi Fei for my birthday last year. I couldn't bear to use it myself!"
"It's just a few pieces of cloth, look at you..."
Ruan Yunluo shook his head helplessly, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
In her last life, Yin Xiaorou took away everything from her. Xiao Qintang always advised her to be generous. Today, she just asked her to send a few pieces of cloth, but she had such a big reaction...
It's true that the knife doesn't hurt unless it cuts myself.
"No, ma'am."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse, Yin Xiaorou quickly expressed her position, "Madam, I have something to wear."
After saying that, she carefully tugged on the corner of Xiao Qintang's clothes and comforted: "My dear sister, don't cry. Madam is joking with you. You can't take it seriously. I don't care about rain silk brocade, I just want what you gave me." Face person."
"Who is crying?"
Xiao Qintang muttered awkwardly.
She was just a little relieved when she lowered her head and saw the bracelet on Yin Xiaorou's wrist.
"Where did you get this?!"
Her expression changed, she grabbed Yin Xiaorou's wrist and asked, "This is obviously my sister-in-law's bracelet, why is it in your hand?!"
"It hurts." Yin Xiaorou's face turned pale and she looked at Xiao Chongjing for help.
"That's enough!" Xiao Chongjing couldn't bear it anymore. He slammed the table and said angrily to Xiao Qintang: "Is this a place for you to act wild? How did your sister-in-law teach you! Why don't you let me go!"
"Third sister, please let go." Ruan Yunluo didn't move, but there was a worried look on his face, "Third sister, don't make trouble, this is my meeting gift to Miss Xiaorou."
"Meeting gift?"
Hearing these three fluttering words, Xiao Qintang's mentality suddenly collapsed.
She looked in disbelief at her sister-in-law, who had taken care of her since she was a child. She almost cried out of grievance, "Sister-in-law, I have asked for this bracelet several times and you have been reluctant to part with it. Now you actually give it to an outsider? Which one of us is better?" Is she the biological sister you brought up?!"
"Just talk like a kid."
Ruan Yunluo smiled and shook his head, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm reluctant, but you are really too frizzy and unsuitable for Dai Yu. Unlike Miss Xiaorou, you are gentle and quiet, and you look like a lady at first glance."
"Besides, my sister-in-law also feels sorry for Miss Xiaorou. She is young and comes to the capital with her younger brother to find relatives. She is helpless... Be sensible and don't argue with her."
"Sister-in-law!"
Xiao Qintang was so angry that he wanted to curse.
"Your sister-in-law is right!" Xiao Chong nodded, Ruan Yunluo's words simply spoke to his heart. He looked at Xiao Qintang displeased and said, "Tang'er, when you're full, go back to your room and rest. Don't embarrass Miss Xiaorou again..."
"Who is making things difficult for whom?"
Xiao Qintang felt aggrieved.
She suddenly stood up from her seat, wiped her tears, and ran out of Zuixue Pavilion.
"Sister Tang'er..." Yin Xiaorou quickly stood up and wanted to chase her. Xiao Chongjing waved his hand to stop her, "Ignore her, she is just a child and she will be fine in two days."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at Ruan Yunluo, "Apart from Longyan Pavilion, are there any other empty gardens in the mansion? It's best to stay away from Tang'er."
"Yes." Ruan Yunluo lowered his eyes and sipped the tea, and said without changing his expression: "Yao Chun Garden is still empty."
"Yao Chun Garden?"
Xiao Chongjing frowned and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, "That's it, let's just stay in the Yan Pavilion."
"Um."
Ruan Yunluo nodded without any reaction. She had already expected this answer.
Everything about Yaochun Garden is good, except for one thing: it's too biased.
Xiao Chongjing was not willing to let Yin Xiaorou live in such a remote place, which was not convenient for cultivating feelings.
It is better to stay in Longyan Pavilion, which is both convenient and secluded.
