Seeing her calm, indifferent, polite and distant look, Gu Zhixuan felt relieved for a moment, but inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.
Xie Yixiao has been ill these days, and he is tossing and turning day and night without peace. Sometimes he wonders, if he should agree, who should he marry or not?
But he was unwilling to do so.
He has always regarded Xie Yixiao as his younger sister, just like his biological sister Gu You. Because this cousin has no parents, he loves and takes care of her even more.
It's just that he didn't expect that the other party would have such thoughts towards him, and then become so sick after being rejected.
Xie Yu introduced with a smile: "I don't think I know this young master. He just came back to the imperial capital a few days ago. He is Rong Ci, the ninth son of Duke Rong. I call him Rong Jiu."
With that said, he walked over and put his hand on Rong Ci's shoulder, smiling wildly: "Rong Jiu, this is my little aunt. You and I are brothers now, and my little aunt is also your little aunt.
Just come with me and call me little aunt."
Gu Zhixuan: "...?!"
Xie Yixiao: "???"
Xie Yiling: "!!!"
At that time, everyone on the field was quiet, and the atmosphere in the yard was a bit strange. At this time, the wind blew into the yard, and the bamboo leaves shook slightly and made a slight sound.
Xie Yixiao stretched out his hands and closed his sleeves, feeling a little cold.
Rong Ci turned to look at him and frowned slightly when he saw him smiling.
Although he didn't care about many things, even if his eldest brother asked him to follow Xie Yu, he would let him jump up and down, but it didn't mean that he was willing to call a girl younger than him aunt.
Xie Yiling came back to his senses, his face twisted for a moment, and his whole face turned red: "Xie San, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will definitely tell your grandfather when I go back, so that you will know how powerful you are! You can also say such things!
"
Really, if you give him a little respect, he can open a dyeing workshop and let the princes of the Duke's palace call him aunt. Fortunately, he can say it.
Xie Yu saw that Xie Yiling was so angry that he was about to jump up, but he didn't care. He reached out and patted Rong Ci on the shoulder, smiling so narrowly: "Oh, little eighth uncle, it's such a small thing, it's such a small thing, even Rong Jiu doesn't think it's a big deal.
What."
Xie Yixiao felt that her eldest nephew would be beaten to death sooner or later if he was so good at jumping.
She bowed slightly and saluted: "Master Rong."
The other party stood up and bowed in return: "Thank you, miss."
Of course, she didn't mention her little aunt, and Xie Yixiao didn't dare to let her call her aunt.
When Xie Yixiao lowered his eyes, he saw the hands in front of him. They were clean and white, slender and had well-defined joints. Looking at this pair, one could imagine that the other person must be a young man with a handsome appearance and a noble family background.
Xie Yixiao was very curious about the young master Rong who wanted to become a monk in the book, but she also knew that it was obviously very rude for a girl to stare at a young master, so she lowered her eyes slightly and turned her gaze
Move away.
Then, she found a seat next to the tea seat, and the group sat down. Gu Zhixuan, who was sitting in the front seat, also gave her a cup of tea. She thanked her and felt a little thirsty, so she lowered her head to drink.
Take a sip.
Rong Ci saw a furry little head in the corner of his vision. Her face was pale and weak, probably due to a long illness. Even applying fine powder on her face could not hide her weakness and haggardness.
Her whole body was also quiet, soft and weak, as if she could crush a clay figurine with just a squeeze of her hand.
It's just that he felt a little strange. If it were normal, a woman like this would be like a dead tree, probably not far from death.
But by chance, her eyes were bright again, as if they had been injected with vitality. Now they are tenaciously sending out tender sprouts, and they are living strong.
It's a bit like a peach blossom growing in his yard, which pokes its head out softly in the spring, and then blooms into clusters of delicate and vibrant flowers.
She has a delicate temperament and a pair of bright and lively eyes, which makes people feel a little inconsistent but also feels that they should be like this.
He lowered his eyes and brushed his slender fingers on the sandalwood beads on his wrist, his eyes expressionless.
Xie Yiling laid out the pastries he bought, and they were still hot at the moment: "I bought my favorite pastries for my sister. Sister, would you like to try them..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually became softer, probably because he was afraid of being rejected.
Xie Yixiao twisted a piece of mince cake, took a bite and thought it was good. Ming Xin reminded at the side: "Just taste it and you'll be fine. I'm still sick at the moment, and the pastry is not easy to digest."
Xie Yiling heard this and said hurriedly: "Sister, please don't eat it. If you like it, I will bring it to you next time."
Xie Yixiao ate one and stopped eating: "Then I'll wait for you to bring it to me next time."
Xie Yiling was stunned when he heard this, and surprise burst out in his eyes: "Okay, I'll bring it to Sister next time."
Xie Yu, who was sitting lazily aside, paused after hearing this, and his eyes fell on Xie Yixiao with a bit of surprise.
He remembered that his little aunt was close to the Changning Marquis Mansion and had always been very distant and indifferent to the Xie family. Even if Xie Yiling got close to her many times, it was just asking for trouble.
Previously, he had wanted to persuade his eighth uncle to treat him as an ordinary relative and not have any other expectations, but he was afraid of hurting his weak and sensitive heart, so he kept holding on.
Didn't say.
Why are you suddenly so easy to talk to this time?
Have you figured it out? Have you enlightened?
Xie Yixiao pushed out the snacks and asked everyone to eat some: "This is still hot and I can't eat it. You guys should try it too, so don't waste it."
"Indeed, don't waste it. Uncle Eight asked the book boy to queue up for Shenji pastry early and bought it himself. Although it's not worth the money, it's still a good idea. Come and have a taste."
After saying that, he took one and ate it first. It tasted pretty good, and the texture was sweet but not greasy. Even the man ate it without feeling greasy.
Everyone present shared one, and there was still some leftover. Xie Yixiao gave it to Ming Xin Mingjing and asked her to share it with the servants in the yard.
Xie Yiling ate one by himself and felt very satisfied, as if he had eaten honey. No, it was more delicious than honey, sweet and soft. He decided that he would also like the pastries that his sister liked to eat in the future.
"I heard that my sister called in the government doctor last night. Is she okay now?"
"It's good, I'm a little weak, but after being sick for a while, I figured out some things. Once I figure it out, I'll be fine."
She actually meant these words to Gu Zhixuan, telling him that she had put him down and would not pester him again in the future.
Gu Zhixuan was really stunned when he heard this, then he lowered his head to drink tea, hiding the expression on his face.
Xie Yiling didn't know anything about this: "That's good, that's good. I'll treat my sister well. Can Yiling come and visit her from time to time?"
"If you have time, just come."
