After hearing the news that Zhenyuguan was lost and his uncle was injured and returned to Beijing to ask for guilt, Lu Yan took Jiang Quan and Jiang Yong from Muzhou to rush back. He was so anxious that he hurried all the way, and inadvertently missed the second batch of messengers. It was only after I got home that I learned that my sister's wedding was approaching.

The last time he went out, he gave a dowry, but he didn't expect that his sister would get married as soon as he came back, and the joy of the upcoming reunion turned into reluctance. Fortunately, this trip has made him grow a lot, and all his thoughts are pressed in his heart, and there is no clue on his face.

The old lady made Zhihua really angry today, and when the eldest grandson came back, she didn't bother to do face-saving work, and directly said that her body was not happy, and she didn't want to see her.

Lu Yan was anxious to see his sister, the old lady's move was quite satisfactory, and after kowtowing three times at the gate of Songling Courtyard to say goodbye, he turned around cleanly and strode towards Qiuhua Courtyard.

As soon as she received the news of Lu Yan's return, Zhihua waited in the courtyard. When the younger brother was studying at the academy in the past, it was not that the two had not been separated for so long. But at that time, Zhihua knew that her younger brother was in the academy and would not be in any danger, so she was relieved. And this time, the twelve-year-old brother went out for the first time, and he went to the turbulent disaster area, how could Zhihua not be worried. In addition, she is going to get married the day after tomorrow, and her younger brother can rush back at this time, so she can't help but be excited.

"Miss, you're too out of character. As the future head of the Patriotic Mansion, the most basic thing you should do is that you should be happy and angry. Facing the master who stretched out his neck and stared straight at the courtyard door, Mama Dou, who was accompanying her, reminded her coolly, and her voice was still calm.

This is the first time she has spoken out about discipline after following Zhihua, and it is still at such an exciting moment.

Zhihua was not angry. Instead, he quickly calmed down, and his face returned to calmness. "That's what Mama said."

This familiar lesson had been heard in the mouth of the old lady, and I didn't expect that the person who was trained this time was replaced by herself. Zhihua laughed at herself in her heart. Turning his head and instructing Mother Han: "As soon as the eldest young master comes out of Songling Courtyard, he will immediately pass the meal, he will rush back at this time, and it is estimated that the lunch will not be delicious." ”

Han's mother took the order to arrange it without mentioning it, and after waiting for a while, Lu Yan's figure finally appeared at the door.

"Sister, I'm back!" As before, people have not yet come. The excited and loud voice could be heard clearly.

Mama Dou frowned, because the other party was not within the scope of her responsible teaching, and finally swallowed the words back into her stomach.

Zhihua only has her younger brother in her eyes at the moment. I didn't notice Mama Dou's movements at all.

I haven't seen him for four months, my younger brother has a much taller figure, and his complexion is tanned, only the envious eyes and kind smile have never changed. watched intently as his brother walked up to him. Unconsciously. Tears.

"Yan'er!"

All the worries, joys, and reluctance were all condensed in this call, and even Mama Dou, who was jumping on her forehead because she "made a mistake again", was slightly moved, sighed secretly, and didn't care about her anymore.

"Sister, I came back safely, you should be happy. Wipe away your tears. Lu Yan's own eyes were red. Choked up and comforted her sister.

Zhihua obediently wiped away her tears, laughed and joked to him: "My brother has really grown up." I didn't cry. My sister originally thought that she would make fun of you when you cried. ”

Lu Yan has indeed grown a lot, and in the face of his sister's jokes, he no longer argues and quarrels like before, but shows a wide smile and does not say much.

The growth of her younger brother made Zhihua happy, but also made her sad. The tears that had just been wiped away welled up again: "You have suffered a lot when you are out of the house." Look at your black, you're about to catch up with charcoal. ”

Lu Yan grinned: "In the past, my sister used to make fun of me as white as a little girl, but now it's just right to be black." Besides, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to hardship, and I don't feel tired at all on this trip. ”

Zhihua stretched out her hand and rubbed her brother's hair like she did when she was a child, smiling with satisfaction: "If my mother has a spirit in the sky, I will be very happy to see you as a little man now." ”

Speaking of his mother, Lu Yan, who has always been cheerful, couldn't help but feel sad, "I still remember when I was a child, every time my sister cried, my mother coaxed you, and when you were waiting for you in the future, I would give you the most beautiful hairflute as a gift." Originally, my younger brother still thought that he must fulfill this wish for his mother, but who knows...... Who knew that before the ceremony was done, my sister was about to get married...... If it were, it would be nice if the wedding could be postponed for another month......" In the end, Lu Yan's eyes were red, his tone was choked, and he looked up at the sky to force back his tears.

And the ceremony...... I didn't do it in my previous life, and I don't have to count on it in this life, it's a lie to say that I don't regret it, but Zhihua didn't want my brother to continue to be sad, so she stretched out her palm and put it in front of him, and said, "Take it." ”

Lu Yan didn't react for a moment, and looked at her stunned: "What? ”

"Didn't you say that you want to give me the most beautiful hairpin for my mother? Why don't you take it out in a hurry? Do you have to wait for my sister to get on the sedan chair before sending it? ”

Lu Yan was really amused by her, and obediently took out a flat wooden box from his arms and put it in her hand: "How come, you see, I have it with me, I planned to give it to you later." ”

Zhihua opened the wooden box and saw that it contained a dark sandalwood hairpipe, on which a dumb sheep's head was carved. I don't know where this kid found this old sandalwood, as soon as the box opened, a strong sandalwood came to his nose.

Zhihua sneered, took out this clumsy hairpipe, and shook it in front of Lu Yan: "This is the most beautiful hairpipe you said?" ”

Lu Yan was right: "Isn't it the most beautiful carved by my brother?" This is the first sculpture in my life! ”

"Then what kind of flowers and grass are you carving at will, how can you carve a stupid sheep and let my sister be embarrassed to wear it?"

"How vulgar the flowers and plants are, isn't my sister a sheep, of course I carved a sheep!" Lu Yan was not embarrassed at all, and argued vigorously.

Mother Han saw that the two sisters and brothers had endless words to talk about, and after dinner was set up for a while, she didn't come to eat, so she couldn't help but remind: "Miss, young master, it's time to eat." ”

Zhihua responded, turned her head and glared at Lu Yan: "You can do it, your mouth has become worse when you go out." Hmph, let's go eat first, and let you go for the time being. ”

She was disgusted, but the action of putting away the hairpin was cautious.

Lu Yan saw it in his eyes and secretly laughed. He stood up, threw down a word, and walked first into the room.

"Stupid sister, you open it from the other side and take a look."

It turns out that this flat box actually has a compartment in the middle, which can be opened on both sides. Zhihua opened the other side as she said, and an amethyst hairpin was lying quietly inside. In the dim night, this pure crystal peony flower flute reflects the faint moonlight, exquisitely clear, delicate and gorgeous.

Tears burst out of her eyes again, and Zhihua muttered a smile and scolded "stinky boy".

At dinner, Zhihua didn't let people wait, and the two sisters and brothers chatted while eating, one talked about all kinds of things they had seen and heard along the way, and the other listened to them with relish. The two who were in a good mood ate too much unconsciously, and after the meal, they took a walk in the yard to eliminate food, while continuing to chat enthusiastically.

However, someone threw a bucket of cold water on this hot fire - after taking a walk, after speaking, Lu Yan was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Mama Dou. "Young master, please stay, the old slave has something to say." (To be continued.) )
