Chapter 42: Dreams (3)
Since the day of the full moon banquet, Xie Yu's wife Ye Yi has fallen in love with Xiao Ying for some reason. She often invites her to her home as a guest and treats her as cordially as a sister.
The relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper day by day.
On this day, Ye Yi saw that the little girl had been unhappy since she arrived. She smiled and joked, "What's wrong? Do you blame your second brother for sending you to my place and then going to do other things?"
She had heard Xiao Ying complain several times, saying that her two brothers were busy with business every day and could hardly accompany her.
"He and the eldest brother are always very busy." Xiao Ying pouted, thought for a moment, and refuted her preface, "No, he is busier than the eldest brother! Sometimes, it is difficult to even see him."
In her eyes, Xiao Jiu always seemed to have endless things to do, but when she thought about it, it was indeed the case.
He had to take care of the family business, the affairs within the fort, his own studies, and her and her brother's affairs.
It's not that Xiao Ying can't understand his hard work, but...
After all, she still missed him.
"I want to help him, but I can't seem to help him." Xiao Ying bent over the case, holding her cheeks with her hands, her face full of distress, "He always says that I am still young, but he is only older than me.
He’s two years older.”
Ye Yi on the side saw that she was not sitting upright and acted like a carefree wild boy. She didn't say anything about her. She liked Xiao Ying's liveliness and straightforwardness.
Listening to the sound of snow dripping from the eaves, it seemed like spring was approaching. Ye Yi covered her lips and smiled softly, "Silly girl, can boys and girls be the same?"
She clearly knew who Xiao Ying was referring to by 'him', and she had also heard some things about Xiao Jiu from her husband. She said slowly and leisurely, "Especially your second brother, a capable young man like him
, there are very few people in the world anymore. He is only two years older than you, but he has to support the family and take care of you two brothers and sisters. How can there be less things to do? "
Xiao Ying was very happy to hear her praising her brother, but she was not happy to hear the previous sentence. She snorted and said unconvinced, "Sister Ye, what you said is biased. What's wrong with me as a girl? I still do the same.
It can help my brother and the others."
"Yes, yes... Xiaoying'er is the most capable."
Hearing it was perfunctory, Xiao Ying groaned and said nothing, turned her head to the side, and whispered back, "If you don't believe it, one day I will let you see it."
Ye Yi heard it, but smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Ying was well protected and well-educated by her two brothers. She was like a proud flower in the sun who knew no darkness, always enthusiastic and upbeat, tireless and painless.
She needs to be strong.
Ye Yi wants to know if she can be as proud as she is now when she grows up. Will Xiao Ying choose to continue to make progress, or will she finally succumb to the world?
"Ying'er, as a woman, you can't be too strong."
She said suddenly.
"Why?" Xiao Ying turned her head and looked at her with pure eyes.
Ye Yi said softly, "Has your brother ever taught you the principle of being strong and easy to break? People who are too strong, especially us women, if we fight with others, sometimes it is ourselves who suffer."
Thinking of the concubine who was still staying with her husband, Ye Yi smiled bitterly.
"Why is it you who suffers? Only those who lose the struggle suffer."
Xiao Ying didn't understand that if she competed with others for something, she would be happy if she won, but unhappy if she lost.
"Did Sister Ye lose the fight?" Xiao Ying asked, feeling that Ye Yi seemed a little unhappy.
Ye Yi shook her head, "No, there is no argument."
For a moment, Xiao Ying half understood whether this was a fight or not, a win or a loss?
After finally thinking about it, she said, "If Sister Ye really likes something and others dare to fight for it, then you should snatch it back. How will you know the final result if you don't fight for it? Maybe, if you don't fight for it, others will.
Grab it!"
The expression on her face paused, and Ye Yi seemed to be touched by something in her heart. Then she smiled and tapped Xiao Ying's forehead with her finger, "You are such a little girl, why do you talk so like a bandit?"
"What's wrong with us? Sister Ye, am I a weak person who can be bullied? How can I let others step on my head?"
Ye Yi glanced at her angrily. When Xiao Ying saw this, she immediately showed a flattering smile and hurriedly flattered her, "Of course not! My sister Ye is gentle and generous, smart and capable, how can I compare with those ordinary women?
!”
In the blink of an eye, her little mouth was like honey, and the words she spoke made Ye Yi amused. "Haha... you, you can say both good and bad things from your mouth. I don't know how you do it."
Arrived."
