"If I say no, will I be unable to leave this courtyard today?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Of course! There are people from my family outside, and my brother is guarding you. You can't leave without my nod."

When Xie Ying said this, she probably forgot about what happened just now when her brother was pressed to the ground and rubbed by Xiumei.

"Hey." Wei Ruo sighed in a contrived manner, "It's destiny and it's hard to go against God's will, so I'll agree to it."

"You stinky Ruoruo, you just agreed when you promised, why do you make it look like you are forcing yourself?" Xie Ying unhappily hit Wei Ruoru's shoulder with her fist, pretending to be fierce, but it was useless.

A little effort is not much heavier than scratching an itch.

"I am wronged. Isn't this the premise you created? You have already taken the stance of robbing girls and forcing girls into prostitution. I have to cooperate with you, right?" Wei Ruo smiled with a smile on his face.

"Well, you stinky Ruoruo, you use all the words indiscriminately. Now I will let you know what it means to really rob a girl from the countryside and force her into prostitution!"

Xie Ying stretched out her claws, trying to tickle Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruosa ran away when she saw this. She was most afraid of being tickled! There was a lot of itchy flesh on her body!

Xie Ying chased after her: "Shou Ruoruo, don't run away, please stop and let me teach you a lesson!"

"Idiots don't want to run away!"

The courtyard was big enough, and the two of them ran around in a circle, passing rockeries, pavilions, and small bridges, and finally stopped in front of a flower bed to catch their breath.

In the end, the two of them sat back to back on the ground and giggled.

After giggling, the two of them lay on the grass and began to discuss the medicine field and the subsequent purchase of grain.

Wei Ruo had an idea, and Xie Ying wanted to help, not for Wei Ruo, but for the people of Xingshan County.

The two stayed together until 4 o'clock, when Xie Ying sent Wei Ruo away, and when she returned to the other courtyard, she saw Xie Jue.

Xie Jue watched the carriage that Wei Ruo was riding on go further and further away on the path down the mountain. He smiled and said to Xie Ying, "This classmate of yours is a bit cute."

"Of course, those who can be my classmate Xie Ying must not be ordinary people." Xie Ying replied with a proud look on her face.

"Yes, yes, otherwise my sister would be too lazy to talk to her, right?" Xie Jue said with a smile. He knew his sister's temperament well. She was pampered to no end by her parents and grandfather, and she did everything according to her own preferences.

"She is not only my classmate now, but also my good sister. You have to be polite to me when you meet her in the future." Xie Ying added.

"How can I be rude to her? As long as her fierce maid doesn't be rude to me." Xie Jue said.

"You still have the nerve to say that your grandfather also asked you to practice martial arts to strengthen your body. Why haven't you even beaten one of Ruoruo's personal maids?" Xie Ying looked disgusted.

"I'm also wondering how a maid can have such good skills. Someday you can help me ask your good sister where her maid studied and how she learned such good kung fu." Xie Jue said.

"No problem, just remember to bring me some delicious and fun things from the capital when you come back. I want to give them to Ruoruo. I have eaten the snacks she brought several times and received gifts from her. I have to find an opportunity to give them to Ruoruo.

She needs to return the gift, the things in the capital are just right." Xie Ying said.

"That's no problem. If my sister asks, I won't refuse." Xie Jue agreed decisively. In fact, there was no need for my sister to ask. He would bring her a lot of delicious food every time he came from the capital.

"By the way, brother, what are you doing here this time? Aren't you supposed to be busy studying? Why did you come to Xingshan County?" Xie Ying asked.

"I can't tell you about this for now, for fear that you'll let it slip. Anyway, your brother and I are here for business this time." Xie Jue looked serious when he said this.

In fact, it was because he got news that there was going to be a big battle between Xingshan County and the Japanese pirates on the east coast. He couldn't worry about his mother and sister, so he came here specially.

Just in case the city gate of Xingshan County was lost, he could take his family to evacuate Xingshan County in time.

There is no definite news yet, so he definitely cannot act rashly. The Xie family is considered a well-known family in Xingshan County. If he makes too big a move and plays a bad leading role, the court will hold him accountable.

Knowing that it was a serious matter, Xie Ying stopped asking, "Then you should pay more attention to yourself and don't worry my mother and I."

"rest assured."

"Let's go, I just have a gift for you." Xie Ying happily pulled Xie Jue to the carriage.

Then she took out the two wooden boxes she bought at Sibaozhai.

Two wooden boxes were stacked on top of each other, covering her face.

Seeing this, Xie Jue quickly took over the two boxes.

"What did you buy?" Xie Jue asked.

"Open it and take a look. I'm not sure what's inside." Xie Ying said.

"You're not sure? Didn't you buy it?" Xie Jue asked.

"Don't you understand this? This thing is called a blind box!" Xie Ying proudly introduced the origin of the two boxes to Xie Jue.

After listening to Xie Ying's words, Xie Jue was also a little curious, "I have heard of the Zanglin layman. He used to be highly appreciated by the Holy Master in the Hanlin Academy. Later, he retired and lived in seclusion in the mountains. How can he still be with a businessman who sells pens, inks, paper and inkstones?"

Became friends?"

"Don't worry about this for now. Open it and take a look." Xie Ying urged.

Xie Jue was afraid that if he didn't follow the instructions, his sister's little fist would come up.

He quickly opened both wooden boxes.

Inside are the four treasures of the study, pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

The pens, inks and inkstones are nothing special and can be found elsewhere. The ones Xie Jue uses are better than these.

Only this paper was a little special, and Xie Jue couldn't help but take it in his hand and observe it carefully.

"This paper is smooth, white and tough, it's so special." Xie Jue commented while stroking it with his fingertips.

"How is it? You haven't seen it before, right? There isn't one in the capital, right?" Xie Ying's face was filled with a proud smile.

"Really not." Xie Jue couldn't deny it.

"Well, there are an extra hundred pieces of paper here. I knew you would like this paper, so I bought more. The store is also weird. I don't want to buy more. The maximum is fifty pieces per person per day. This is

Ruoruo gave me half of the hundred sheets." Xie Ying said.

"Hahaha, thank you Ying'er, my sister loves me the most." Xie Jue said with a smile.

"It's a pity that I didn't draw the calligraphy treasure of the Tibetan Buddhist monk." Xie Ying looked at the contents of the two boxes. They were all ordinary pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

"With my sister's thoughts, what kind of calligraphy by the Canglin layman do you want? As long as it is a gift from my sister, I like it." Xie Jue said.

###

The next morning, Wei Ruo carried the wooden box he bought at Sibaozhai yesterday afternoon into Yingzhuyuan.

Xiaobei saw Wei Ruo holding the heavy object and quickly stepped forward to help.

Wei Ruo took advantage of the situation and gave it to Xiaobei: "This is for your young master."

"Miss, you are interested." Xiaobei happily walked into the Octagonal Pavilion holding the wooden box.

Wei Jin had already heard the conversation between Wei Ruo and Xiaobei. He glanced briefly at the wooden box that Wei Ruo brought: "Is it the 'blind box' from Sibao Zhai?"
