Chapter 66: Awkwardness

Zi Mo felt that Baili Qianxiang's attitude was so strange, whether her words were reasonable or not, he just smiled and nodded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info This time the matter was obviously beneficial to both the brother and sister, but he refused with a dead heart, and she opened her mouth:

"Brother, when the time comes, we can go to the city while the master is taking a bath and taking a vacation. "Every month, the teachers in the school will also suspend classes for a few days, so that the teachers and students can have a good rest for a while.

"No, it's too far from the city, and it may take two or three days to go back and forth. Seeing that Zi Mo was going to say more, he decisively put down the tea leaves in his hand, walked out of Zi Mo's room, but stopped at the door, but his body did not turn around, and he paused before saying:

"No matter what, don't go to the city to sell, just sell in the town"

Zi Mo was puzzled by Qianxiang's attitude, she didn't understand why Baili Qianxiang also supported it when she sold strawberries before, how could she be so resolute now, the same is selling things, how can the contrast be so big.

Seeing that his back was a little lonely, although there were still many things in his heart that he had not yet said, and he was still a little unwilling, but he opened his small mouth, and the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

But let her be so desperate, she is reluctant, if the tea can be sold, and can be sold often in the future, the environment at home will undoubtedly be much better, such a good and harmless thing, why should Baili Qianxiang object? Do you not believe that the tea she made can really be sold for money? Thinking of this, Zi Mo picked up the tea bag, ran to the kitchen, boiled water and made a pot of tea, and brought it to the door of Baili Qianxiang.

The door that had just been installed was closed tightly, presumably there was a strip inside, but there was no light in the crack of the door, Zi Mo carefully lifted the tea tray with one hand and stuck it on his chest, and then he came out and knocked on the door with one hand, although there was no candle flame, but even the bright moonlight could still see that Baili Qianxiang still had a gloomy expression when he opened the door, and he couldn't help but be startled.

Baili Qianxiang saw that she was struggling to hold a tray with a teapot and two cups on it, knowing that Zi Mo had not given up, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, but he also understood that his emotions were very inexplicable to his sister, but he just couldn't help it, especially when he heard that she wanted to go to the city, he was irritable in his heart, and he couldn't calm down at all.

He took the tray in her hand, turned sideways to let her into the room, put the tea tray on the small table, and took the fire and lit the oil lamp.

The room suddenly brightened, Baili Qianxiang didn't speak, just pulled a chair and motioned for her to sit down, and he was also sitting on the other side, and he didn't mean to speak, and there was a tense atmosphere between the two.

Zi Mo saw that he was still angry in his heart, but he just mentioned that he wanted to go to the city to sell tea, how could he provoke him to be so angry? Although she didn't understand it, the purpose of her coming was not to sit so silently for the two of them. And this kind of Baili Qianxiang also makes her a little strange, she has seen him in many ways, but without exception, she has a smile in her eyes when she sees her, and it is the first time she has seen him so gloomy.

After thinking about it, Zi Mo saw that he didn't mean to speak, so he took the lead in breaking the deadlock and stood up and poured two cups of tea. The hot aroma penetrates into the nostrils, and the smell is also refreshing.

"Brother, you taste. ā€

Although she was reluctant, but her sister had already snubbed her for a long time when she came in, seeing Zi Mo's slightly flattering smile, she still hesitantly took the cup in her hand, and under her expectant expression, she took a small sip very slowly, her frowning brows stretched slightly, and when she saw her sister, she seemed to be relieved, with a smile on her eyebrows, he put down the cup in his hand, and his movements seemed elegant and slow:

"Very nice tea, it does taste much better than what I bought in town before. Seeing that his sister wanted to speak, he raised his hand and made a stop-action movement:

"But little sister, listen to your brother, can't we drink this tea ourselves at home? The city is far away from here, what kind of business can our two children talk about with those tea merchants?"

Zi Mo couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when she saw that he still insisted on what he had seen, but she was also a little stubborn, the brother and sister had always relied on each other, and it was not easy for the two of them to get to this point. Baili Qianxiang has always been obedient to her, and this time he didn't let go after begging for so long, and his eyes were a little sour.

Seeing his sister like this, Baili Qianxiang was also distressed:

"Little sister, if you listen to my brother this time, just once. ā€

"But I don't understand. Although Zi Mo wanted to make it clear to him in his heart that this matter would be beneficial to the two of them and would not harm the two of them, he saw that his tone had softened now, and he coaxed her softly, and he unconsciously cried in his throat when he spoke.

Although he kept telling himself in his heart that he was not allowed to be soft-hearted, when he saw Zi Mo like this, he couldn't help but feel distressed and half-hugged her in his arms, and gently patted her back with his hand.

"Brother, why don't you agree?"

"I'm just afraid that the city is too far away, little sister, is it good to sell tea in the town. Zi Mo saw his gaze dodging back and forth, but he didn't dare to look at himself.

"Brother, are you afraid of the city?" As soon as the words came out, I saw Baili Qianxiang with a panicked expression, and the arm that was half-hugging her suddenly tightened, and the strength was a little greater, and she was out of breath, and the expression on her face was also a little distorted and hideous, Zi Mo was startled by him at first, but his shoulder was strangled by him before he came to his senses and struggled a few times, Baili Qianxiang barely calmed down, relaxed his arms a little, but still half-hugged her, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and was unwilling to let go, his body was still tense.

"Nope. Although he said that he denied it, even the smile on his face was far-fetched when he said it.

"Then why can't you go to the city to sell it, I think it's much more convenient to sell this tea in the city than in the town. ā€

Zi Mo also guessed in his heart that there must be a reason why he didn't want to go to the city, but his desire to make money and live for a long time prevailed, and now seeing that his tone was relieved, he couldn't help shaking his hand.

After talking for so long, my sister still insisted on going to the city, and Baili Qianxiang felt like she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. Seeing Zi Mo's innocent and hopeful eyes, and being pleaded softly by her sleeves, she couldn't say anything if she wanted to refuse. Maybe I don't want such a sunny face to be covered with a sad shadow, maybe I can't refuse the request of this blood-related sister no matter what.

Although he is in the school every day these days, he only knows the situation at home, Zi Mo is under some pressure, originally this kind of pressure should be borne by him, and now she wants to make money, what reason does she have if she is unwilling?

Baili Qianxiang bit it, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and his heart seemed to be flustered as if he was tugging the river, shouting that he must not go to the city, but on the other hand, he said that Zi Mo wanted to make money all for the two of him. After a while, he nodded, but his face was still a little ugly: "Little sister, since you have to insist on going to the city, then you let me think about it for a while, okay?"

Although his words were not the answer he wanted, Zi Mo also knew that it would be easy to press too hard, and Baili Qianxiang's face was also ugly, and sweat was dripping on his forehead.

Therefore, he nodded obediently and stood up:

"Alright then, I won't disturb your rest. ā€

Baili Qianxiang nodded indiscriminately, he was now in a state of turmoil, not knowing whether his decision was good or bad, and he didn't have time to wonder if his attitude had aroused his sister's suspicions.

Zi Mo went out of the door, and saw his motionless figure sitting at the table like a stone sculpture, as if the old monk had settled down, today's real hundred miles and thousands of miles are very interesting, what is there in the city that can make him so flustered.

It's just that she didn't open her mouth to ask, knowing that she didn't ask, she didn't seem to notice when she walked to the door, so she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and helped him take him to the porter and walked to his room.

In the next few days, the brother and sister rarely spoke, Zi Mo really wanted to pull him and ask if he had figured it out, but she didn't want to force him too much, if Baili Qianxiang really didn't want to, then he had to think of another way.

Baili Qianxiang tried to avoid the opportunity to talk to his sister alone, and every time he touched her crystal clear eyes, he couldn't help but shift his gaze.

Even Carpenter Li's master and apprentice saw that something was wrong with this situation, and wondered if the brother and sister were awkward, but it was difficult for the Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and the horizontal and vertical were just small bumps between the children, and they would be resolved in less than two days, and they didn't take it to heart, but they were afraid that Zi Mo would feel uncomfortable, but Carpenter Li spent his time coaxing her happy every day.

Zi Mo also felt that there had been a subtle change in the situation between herself and her brother, and even Carpenter Li had noticed this change, and she had been squeezing and smiling all day long to coax her, but although she felt uncomfortable, she still cheered up and made the same appearance as usual, so as not to worry others.

Li carpenter master and apprentice has left, although it is still early, but the courtyard is quiet, at this time in the past, the brother and sister are sitting together under the grape trellis on the balcony eating snacks and chatting and laughing, although the days are simple and happy, but now they have closed the door and hid in the room and did not want to go out.

Zi Mo lay on the table and flicked the lamp grass in the small dish to make the light brighter and illuminate her listless face.

She quietly opened the door and looked at the opposite door, the room was dark, not even the candle was lit, and she couldn't see what the situation was, presumably her brother had already slept at this time. Zi Mo lay on the table in a daze again, such a quiet night, but her heart became more and more irritable, how could she not calm down and raise her brother too much.

There was a regular knock at the door, which became louder and louder in such a quiet night, as if breaking the spell in Zi Mo's heart, making her face light up all of a sudden.

Sure enough, Baili Qianxiang stood outside the door, still knocking on the door.

He has also been very sad these days, Zi Mo is the baby sister he has loved in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and seeing that she has been silent for the past few days, he is not a taste in his heart.

"Zi Mo, I've thought about it, let's go to the city together in a few days. ā€

Zi Mo saw him smiling slightly and looking at himself kindly, his gloomy face on his brows that had been locked every day these days seemed to have never happened, his eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of mist, he didn't even hear what he said, and felt the warm smile that seemed to be lost for a long time, and suddenly threw himself into his arms.

In fact, she had long wanted to take the initiative to talk to Baili Qianxiang, but she couldn't pull her face down to apologize, and she had already regretted it in her heart, and now seeing him take the initiative to come to the door, Zi Mo was also a little ashamed in her heart, she didn't expect that she was such a big person, and she was still angry like a child.

Knowing that her attitude had hurt her these days, Baili Qianxiang was also a little sour in his heart, so he just half-squatted down and hugged her calves, lifted her body into the air, and coaxed her while entering the house and putting her on a chair.

"It's just that you have to promise me one condition, you have to wear a veil hat to cover your face when you enter the city. ā€

"Why? Zi Mo was very happy that he agreed to go to the city, and the brother and sister were as good as ever, and she couldn't stop flying as if she had wings, but his strange request also made her wonder.

"Because ... Because... The stammering words were seen with a puzzled look on my sister's face: "Because my brother is afraid that you are too beautiful, people will drool when they see you." "Oh my God, what the hell is he talking about, even he can't convince himself of this reason, Baili Qianxiang couldn't help but turn his face to the side in embarrassment.

The corners of Zi Mo's mouth twitched, although she knew that he was talking nonsense, she didn't ask any more questions, knowing that he had his own reasons for saying this, but she couldn't know such a thing, although he was telling the truth, she smiled and nodded...
