Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 130 Do you like my sister?

Rong Jin was silent. Xiao Yuan did not urge him. The study room was silent for a long time.

"Xiaoyuan, do you think I treat you well?" Rong Jin asked softly.

"Okay." Xiaoyuan answered simply.

"I, I also want to be nice to Sister Hua." Rong Jin's ears turned red. "So I want to give Sister Hua a hairpin." Rong Jin took out a brocade box from his arms and placed it in front of Xiao Yuan.

"Oh." Xiaoyuan opened the lid and took a look. It was the silver hairpin with cat's eye stone that Jin Yumantang bought.

"Can you help me...give the hairpin to your sister?" Rong Jin looked at Xiao Yuan expectantly.

"This may not work..." Xiaoyuan said in a long voice, a little embarrassed.

"Why not? This..." Rong Jin was disappointed.

"If my grandfather knew, he would break my legs." Xiaoyuan answered with certainty.

"Ah, why?" Rong Jin looked at Xiao Yuan, a little unconvinced.

"Because I was beaten, and it was very severe. I was lying on the bed for several days." Xiaoyuan looked as if he was still frightened.

"Have you ever been beaten?" Rong Jin was a little dazed.

"Yes, I was beaten. Before that, I was scolded by my grandfather several times." Xiaoyuan looked like he was recalling a sad memory.

"Brother Pei, let me tell you, you are not the first person who asked me to give something to my sister. When we were in the old house, the students in my grandfather's private school often wanted to give things to my sister.

They wanted to give my sister the cicadas they caught from the trees, the small fish and shrimps they caught from the river, and even the beautiful stones they picked up on the road. "

Xiao Yuan paused, leaned over and asked softly, "Brother Pei, do you know why they want to give something to my sister?" Rong Jin shook his head involuntarily.

"You're so stupid." Xiao Yuan shook his head, paused, and changed the subject.

"Brother Pei, do you think my sister is pretty?" Rong Jin nodded.

"Then do you think my sister is very gentle?" Rong Jin nodded again.

"Then do you think my sister is smart?" Rong Jin nodded.

"That's it. Isn't it normal for students in a private school to want to give something to my sister, a pretty, gentle and smart girl? They all like my sister." Xiao Yuan looked at Rong Jin with a smile.

"Let me tell you, my sister is one of the prettiest girls in our Tongde town and several surrounding towns. She has fair skin and big eyes. To put it in the books, my sister is... the orchid in the valley, the lily in the mountains, so beautiful." Xiaoyuan looked proud of himself.

“They liked my sister and wanted to give her something, so they usually came to the private school very early. Not only did they clean the school dormitory, they also often ran to the gate of the courtyard where my sister came in and out to help clean the courtyard, just to see my sister.

But my grandfather was very strict with my sister. He didn't allow them to come over during recess. So they seldom saw my sister. Since they couldn't see my sister and wanted to give her something, they would come to me. Since I could walk, I was often stuffed with some strange little objects and snacks and asked to pass them on to my sister.

At first I didn't understand. They asked me to deliver a candy bean each time, so I helped them pass the candy to my sister. My grandfather found out and scolded me several times, but I was still young and couldn't resist the temptation of candy. Once I helped a boy pass a piece of paper to my sister, and my grandfather found out. Then I was severely beaten. My butt was bruised and I lay on the bed for several days.

From now on, I won't dare to do it again. Although my grandfather is gone now, I can't go against his wishes. So Brother Pei, I can't help you pass this on either." Xiaoyuan pushed the brocade box back on the table.

Rong Jin was a little sad. Xiao Yuan looked at Rong Jin and spoke to himself.

"Alas, I guess the students in Tongde Town must be heartbroken since my sister left. Let me tell you, my sister is not only beautiful, but also literate and well-read. My sister knows a lot and is very smart." Xiao Yuan looked at Rong Jin with a look that said, "Don't disbelieve me."

"My sister came up with the idea of ​​the grid and grid in the bookstore. It was my sister who came up with the idea of ​​the imperial examination books that many poor students use now. The canned sugar water, chili sauce, flower cakes and other things in Baihua Manor were also made by my sister and the people in the manor. Is my sister very smart? Is she good at making money?"

Rong Jin nodded.

"My sister is not only smart and good at making money, but also has good handwriting. Brother Pei, have you seen my sister's handwriting? Isn't it beautiful? Even the teacher in the clan school praised my sister's handwriting. It is fresh and elegant, with a unique charm. Sister Qingge also laughed at my sister for not having any talent. I dare say that my sister can beat her by a mile with just this handwriting.

Not to mention playing chess, as long as my sister uses half of her strength, she can easily crush Sister Qingge. Do you believe it?"

Rong Jin nodded blankly. At this moment, he had forgotten that he just wanted Xiao Yuan to pass on a hairpin for him, but not only did he fail, but now Xiao Yuan was praising Hua Meime for a long time.

I asked Xiaoyuan to pass on the hairpin because I knew that Hua Meimei was good. However, I also liked to hear it. Except for the fact that I felt a little weird when I heard Xiaoyuan say that many students in the private school gave gifts to Hua Meimei, everything else was good.

As I listened, my depression disappeared. Xiao Yuan continued to talk nonstop, praising Hualei as if she was the best in the world. He suddenly paused, turned around, and asked Rong Jin.

"Brother Pei, you asked me to give the hairpin to my sister. Do you like my sister too?"

Rong Jin was embarrassed and the tips of his ears turned red.

"That won't do. Brother Pei, you already have your childhood sweetheart, Sister Qingge, so don't mess with my sister. I heard from Rong Jue that Sister Qingge has lived in the Marquis' Mansion since she was three years old, and she and Brother Pei have been childhood sweethearts. When you are old enough, you will get married."

"No, she just came here to keep my mother company..."

"Brother Pei thinks so? Does Sister Qingge think so too? Does Brother Pei's mother, Great Aunt, think so too? No way? Then if Great Aunt asks you to marry Sister Qingge in the future, will Brother Pei marry her or not?" Xiao Yuan asked doubtfully.

"No, that won't happen."

“Why not, she’s your cousin, she likes you, and you two are childhood sweethearts.
