"Sister, what are you talking about? Younger Sister is just curious."
Xiao Xun seemed to have understood something, but she did not show it. She just smiled and said obediently,""Second Sister, what kind of evil thoughts does Younger Sister have?”
Xiao Yu let out a 'relieved' smile and said,"Big sister is thinking too much. Little sister, don't mind.”
As he spoke, he told Xiao Xun about the Yin Yang Pot. Finally, he smiled and said,"I heard that the old lady also got one back then and gave it to big sister. Big sister loves it very much.”
This big sister was naturally Xiao Qing.
Xiao Xun's expression changed. After all, it was not easy to get something from Xiao Qing. However, she was blinded by her hatred for Xiao Ling. How could she care about that?
He hurriedly found an excuse and left. Xiao Xun looked a little hurried when she left. Xiao Yu could see it clearly. After thinking for a while, he smiled and got up to call a servant girl over.
The servant girl hurriedly walked over. After hearing Xiao Yu say a few words, she immediately nodded and left.
Xiao Yu looked contentedly at the darkening sky, his brows feeling warm.
The next morning, Xiao Xun went to Xiao Qing's house.
Xiao Xun thought that she would have to wait for a while and even spend some effort to take this thing down. However, she did not expect to be welcomed by Xiao Qing's servant girl as soon as she entered the door early in the morning.
"Younger Sister is really early. Older Sister is a little tired.”
Xiao Qing yawned lazily, but she was already dressed. Clearly, she was prepared.
Xiao Xun found it strange.
"Older Sister woke up so early. Younger Sister just wanted to go with Older Sister to pay respects to Mother.”
However, after saying that, she felt that it was inappropriate because Xiao Qing and the other three had to prepare for the palace banquet during this period of time, so the sisters did not need to pay their respects.
However, she didn't know how to smooth things over.
"Younger Sister must have been too busy recently.”
Xiao Qing's eyes were bright and clear. She smiled and looked up at Xiao Xun."Sister doesn't look well. Could it be that you've been tired during this period of time?”
Xiao Xun's expression improved a little and she sat down.
She was probably thinking about the Yin Yang Pot so much that she didn't notice the strange look in Xiao Qing's eyes.
"Why is Younger Sister tired? It's just that she hasn't been looking very well recently. It's probably because of the cold weather outside.”
Xiao Qing didn't take her words seriously. He just smiled and didn't expose her. The weather outside was getting warmer and warmer. Where did the cold come from?
It was obvious that Xiao Xun was up to something. Could it really be as Xiao Yu said?
With a faint smile on her face, Xiao Qing looked more easygoing, but her thoughts were even more vicious. Xiao Ling had been getting more and more favored recently, and she could not stand it either. He was about to overshadow her own daughter. It would be good if she could find someone to teach him a lesson. She was happy that they were fighting each other.
"Little sister, come and take a look. These are the flowers that big sister embroidered. Which one do you like?”
She casually took out some brocade handkerchief with a few patterns embroidered on it. There were peonies, plum blossoms, and some flowers that she could not name. Xiao Xun was not in the mood to look at them, but she heard Xiao Qing say,"Bring one for the sisters.”
Xiao Xun's thoughts became active. She stared at the patterns and said,""Mm, little sister will send it to the sisters in a while.”
Xiao Qing acted as if he didn't know what Xiao Xun was up to. He smiled gently and picked up a teacup. He poured a cup of ginseng tea and said,""I heard that Younger Sister recently got a head job? Pearl, jade, and gold mask?"
Xiao Xun's heart tightened and she nodded.
This hairstyle was given to her by Eldest Master Xiao. She was still two years away from her coming-of-age age, but he had already made her a hairstyle. Moreover, this hairstyle was luxurious. It had just been done a few days ago and was placed in her room. She couldn't bear to put it down, but she couldn't bear to bring it with her. She was waiting for the coming-of-age ceremony in two years to shine.
"My sister did make one. She's keeping it in her room now.”
Xiao Xun answered meekly.
"Younger Sister, I won't hide it from you. Elder Sister has liked that head of yours for a long time. If you can part with it, Elder Sister will also give her that glazed head of yours to Younger Sister. Also, whatever Younger Sister likes in Elder Sister's house, you can choose. If Younger Sister feels heartache, Elder Sister will not force you.”
Xiao Qing's words were not forceful at all. Even if Xiao Xun rejected her, it was not a big deal.
However, Xiao Xun's heart was moved. She wanted the Yin Yang Pot and was worried that she couldn't find an excuse. However, Xiao Qing said it out loud. However, she couldn't bear to part with it.
This glass head was not as precious as his own head.
"Sister, do you feel heartache?"
Xiao Qing patted her shoulder generously and smiled warmly.""Elder sister is indeed a little too much. Forget it, forget it. Elder sister better not.”
"It's okay, sister. I also like your glass hair.”
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Xun made up her mind.
Xiao Qing's heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself,'Xiao Xun is actually willing to exchange her precious treasure for the Yin Yang Pot. It seems like what Xiao Qing said is 80% true.'
She began to wonder if she should agree to Xiao Yu's request and get rid of these two annoying sisters in one go.
At that time, the sky was already getting brighter. When Jin Niang went out to bring a cup of ginseng tea back, she happened to see Xiao Xun's personal maid outside the door.
"Sister Jinniang, Sister Jinniang!" The servant girl called out affectionately, her eyes and brows carrying a gentle taste, making people feel very close to her.
Jin Niang was a little careful. She still remembered that these two servant girls would run to the door of her house to look around. Who knew what they were up to?
"So you're my sister. What are you doing here?”
She also pretended to be intimate and went over. She saw the pattern in the servant girl's hand.
"Sister Jinniang, this was given to the young miss by the young miss when our young miss was at the young miss's place. There are also young ladies in each room.”
As the servant girl spoke, she handed a handkerchief to Jin Niang. After seeing that there was no one around, she said to Jin Niang,"Jinniang, our miss also said that she would invite Third Miss to our miss's room in the afternoon. Our miss has made a good tea and wants to invite you to have a taste.”
After saying that, the servant girl turned around and left.
Jinniang pinched her handkerchief and thought for a moment before turning around and returning to her room.
At that time, Xiao Ling was studying the Go manual in his hands. She loved Go manuals in her previous life, but she had no time to read them because she had to compete with her sisters every day.
Now, he was free.
"Young lady."
Jin Niang happened to walk over from the door, her eyes carrying a cautious expression.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Ling asked without looking up.
"Just now Fifth Young Lady's servant girl came over and gave Young Lady a handkerchief. She said that Eldest Young Lady embroidered it and even invited Young Lady to Fifth Young Lady's place to taste tea.”
Xiao Ling could not help but frown.
Xiao Xun hated herself to death. She was still petty. How could she be so nice to him?
Xiao Ling was confused.
"Miss?"
Jinniang was also worried. Although she was a servant, she was old enough to see through some things.
"Pack your things. We'll go over after lunch.”
Xiao Ling thought for a moment and smiled." Bring Second Sister along. Send someone to invite Ninth Sister. We'll go there ourselves after lunch."”
When Jin Niang heard this, she also smiled. No matter what, she couldn't act casually when there were many people.
As soon as Jin Niang turned to leave, Xiao Ling's face darkened.
"No makeup."
Su Yan immediately bent down and listened carefully.
"Go outside and call Tingshu over. Tell him to bring Young Master over in a while.”
Xiao Ling thought about it for a while, then carefully instructed Su Yan. He took out some silver and handed it to Su Yan."Don't forget to bribe those maids and old women. Follow the old path and don't take other people's path.”
Su Yan immediately nodded and left with the silver.
Xiao Ling's heart gradually sank.
Things had gone beyond her imagination.
The development of some things gradually changed for some unknown reason. Things that had not happened in his previous life gradually surfaced. Could it be that these things had been disrupted since he returned?
As he pondered deeply, Xiao Ling felt a headache coming on. He sighed and went to sit by the window. He quietly stroked the strings in his hands.
She suddenly regretted it.
In her previous life, she had never seen her mother, and it was the same in this life. Her father had announced to the public that her mother had died early, but Xiao Ling had a hunch that her mother had not died early.
And her mother had left her something, just like this zither in front of her.
In her previous life, her father had vaguely mentioned her mother to her. However, after she broke off with her family, she no longer had any contact with her, so she never mentioned her mother again.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath and gently played the zither in his hand.
She had never been good at playing the zither, but for some reason, it seemed that the combination of her previous life and this life made her feel a little lingering.
Three thousand twirling fingers.
"Third Older Sister plays really well."
After some time, Xiao Ling was still immersed in the music when he heard laughter. He was shocked to see Xiao Lingyin smiling at him.
"Ninth Younger Sister is early."
Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He thought that only Xiao Lingyin would come. The two maids outside would not inform him.
