Xie Zhen didn't know what to say, so she just looked at him and pursed her lips and smiled.

Xie Yujing took a step forward and grabbed her hand.

"Ah Zhen, you come with me."

Xie Zhen hesitated a little and said, "It's so late......"

Xie Yu turned his head and blinked, "Let's go quietly and just don't let Grandfather know." ”

This...... It's not impossible, is it? Xie Zhen finally nodded in agreement.

Zhu Jin and Yun Lai were talking next to each other outside the door, and as soon as they saw them come out, they immediately separated, but the excitement between their eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden.

Xie Zhen suddenly had some doubts in her heart, but she only felt that tonight's matter was not discussed by a few of them in advance?

Without waiting for her to ask, Zhu Hibiscus cleverly stepped forward to support her, and only said "Miss, it's dark, slow down", and even served her up and down the stairs very attentively.

Xie Zhen felt that there was something wrong with it, because although Zhu Hibiscus kept shouting to slow down, her steps were very hurried, and even she had to speed up her pace with her holding her.

Xie Yu actually led them through most of Xie's Mansion to the back door, and a carriage was actually parked at the back door.

"Third brother?" Xie Hao's eyes widened and said, "Where are we going?" ”

The little girl's eyes were as bright as stars in the yellow circle of light of the lantern.

Xie Yu suddenly became a little nervous, feeling that his idea might not be as good as he originally thought.

He took a deep breath and said quickly: "You always stay in the house, I'm afraid you're stuffy, so I want to take you out to see the scenery and relax." ”

It's true? Xie Zhen didn't believe it. What kind of scenery can you see at night when the lights are blind?

Yun Lai, who walked down the steps with a lantern, almost fell when he heard this, what nonsense is this talking about, young master?

Xie Yu also came back to his senses at this time, and only reached out to his lips and coughed low in Xie Hao's inquiring gaze.

Zhu Jin, who had already run to the side of the carriage to wait, saw that Xie Zhen still hadn't gotten into the car, and couldn't help but worry that she wouldn't go, so she hurriedly ran back and grabbed her, and urged softly: "Miss, let's go quickly!" ”

Xie Zhen was dragged forward by her, and then turned back and looked at Xie Yu carefully. Finally, he made up his mind and stepped into the carriage.

Xie Yu was overjoyed and felt that it was really the right decision to bring Zhu Hibiscus out this time.

Yunlai silently wiped his sweat, squeezed over and said, "Young master, get in the car too!" ”

Xie Yu finally sat in the front of the car with Yunlai and drove. The carriages are cramped. He didn't dare to face Xie Hao at this time, he only felt that he couldn't open his eyes calmly and talk nonsense under her gaze, and it would be bad if he showed his stuff at that time.

Xie Zhen in the carriage couldn't help but whisper to Zhu Jin, what they were hiding from her.

Zhu Jin's mouth is harder than a boiled duck's mouth, and Xie Zhen refuses to reveal half a sentence no matter how much she asks. He also covered his mouth and looked at Xie Zhen and grinned.

Xie Zhen was angry, so she simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at her, anyway, no matter what it was, she would always know later.

The carriage squeaked and squeaked for I don't know how long it was, but Xie Zhen, who had closed her eyes and recuperated, was already sleepy, but at this time, the carriage finally stopped.

She was anxious to know their secret, because before the carriage had stopped, she was about to lift the curtain and get out of the carriage.

Xie Yu, who was outside the carriage, pressed the curtain and said, "Ah Zhen, I have to wronged you to close your eyes first." ”

What the? Xie Zhen was stunned. Zhu Jin, who was in the back, had leaned over neatly and covered her eyes with a silk handkerchief.

Even this has been discussed? Xie Zhen couldn't cry or laugh a little, but now that the truth is outside the curtain, she doesn't have to worry about it for a while.

Xie Zhen didn't say anything more, and just groped her way out of the car in the dark.

A pair of hands stretched out outside the car to support her steadily, so although Xie Zhen couldn't see it at this time, she was very stable and didn't feel afraid.

Xie Hao, who was led forward by Xie Yu, only felt that the footsteps gradually became single, and it seemed that Yunlai and Zhu Jin stayed by the carriage and did not join them anymore.

Time flies very slowly when a person can't see things, and Xie Hao even thinks that she follows the third brother. Isn't it been a quarter of an hour so long?

But in Xie Yu's eyes, it was just a short road.

They finally arrived.

Without any reminder, Xie Yu suddenly pulled off the silk handkerchief that was covering Xie Zhen's eyes.

Fluorescent, like a galaxy.

Xie Hao's eyes widened in disbelief. "Third brother, is it Liuying? How can there be a stream of fireflies at this time? ”

Xie Yu smiled silently and led her into the center where fluorescence was most prosperous.

For a moment, they seemed to glow as well, and Xie Hao couldn't help but reach out to catch those flying fireflies, and occasionally one or two fireflies landed on her hand. At that time, Xie Hao didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, so he only breathed softly and slowly, for fear of startling them away.

The fireflies are so beautiful, it's like the stars falling to the mortal world.

Xie Zhen's body was a little soft, and her heart was even more tender.

Zhu Jin and Yunlai saw the scene here, and they couldn't help but run over with itching.

The exclamations that Zhu Hibiscus had endured for a long time erupted at this moment, only opening his arms and jumping wildly in the grass, shouting "wah, wow, wow" in his mouth, scaring the fireflies into flying around.

The warm atmosphere disappeared all at once.

Xie Zhen couldn't help but be so angry that she stepped forward and grabbed her, "Can you be quiet for a while?" Look at you, scare them all away. ”

Zhu Jin stuck out her tongue, but she was still very excited: "Miss, isn't it beautiful?" I heard from Yun that the third master has been preparing for this for a long time! ”

"yes!" Yun Lai also came over and said, "Miss, you don't know, this is the last firefly of the year, and it took a lot of thought for the young master to catch them." ”

Could it be that the third brother has been busy with this matter before? Xie Zhen was moved in her heart, and thought that she was so excited after seeing these fireflies, she just cared about looking at them, but she snubbed the third brother......

She looked at Xie Yu embarrassedly.

Xie Yu was not angry at all, and smiled softer than ever.

Xie Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said, "Third brother, is this your birthday gift to me?" Isn't it hard to prepare? ”

Xie Yu didn't answer her words, but asked her, "Does Ah Hao like it?" ”

Where is this like two words can be expressed? Xie Zhen nodded again and again, and said with some worry: "Third brother, did it cost a lot of money to prepare these?" I still have the five hundred taels of silver tickets that my grandfather gave me last time......"

Xie Yu couldn't help laughing, but it was just a few hundred taels of silver, it was worth remembering for so long? Such a good atmosphere, why is this stupid girl so bad?

He squeezed Xie Zhen's hand a little hard. Said: "These things will be talked about tomorrow, now let's celebrate your birthday first." ”

Xie Hao nodded, and had already made up her mind to send the silver ticket to Baiyang Hutong tomorrow.

The night was getting heavier, and it was supposed to be time to go back. But Xie Yu saw that Xie Hao liked it, so he stayed for a while.

By the time Xie Yu sent Xie Zhen back to Tanghua Hutong, it was already late, and the front and back doors had already been locked, but fortunately, Nan'er was waiting for them at the back door.

When Nan'er reached out to help Xie Zhen get out of the car, Xie Zhen felt her hands cold. knew that she had been waiting for a long time, and suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart, so she only whispered: "It's cold at night, why don't you wear one more piece of clothing?" ”

Nan'er smiled: "It's just that my hands are a little cold, but my body is actually not cold!" ”

Xie Zhen still felt sorry in her heart, and only held her hand tighter.

Xie Yu didn't get out of the carriage, and Yunlai drove him back to Baiyang Hutong.

Xie Zhen couldn't help but say a few words like "rest early after you go back".

Xie Yu laughed at how she was only nine years old and was as verbose as a ninety-year-old woman, and urged Yun Lai to say, "Hurry up, hurry up, Miss Zhen is going to recite the mantra." ”

Xie Hao couldn't help but stomp her feet, turned around and entered the back door.

But Xie Yu lifted the curtain again, leaned out and called out to her, "Ah Zhen." You turn. ”

"Do what?" Xie Hao's tone was reluctant, but she immediately turned back.

Xie Yu grinned and said, "I'll just say how come I always feel that something I have forgotten!" It turns out that I haven't said a happy birthday to you seriously. ”

"Vera, happy birthday to the age of nine."

Xie Zhen's heart warmed, and the little stinginess of Fang Cai had long since disappeared.

"Thank you, third brother!" She laughed and said loudly.

Xie Yu seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and said, "Just a word of thanks?" ”

Xie Zhen looked at him inexplicably.

Xie Yu opened his arms with a smile and said, "Ah Zhen, hug one?" ”

…… The corners of Xie Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, and she quickly dodged and hid in the back door.

At her urging, Zhu Jin and Nan'er closed the back door with a "bang" with a smile.

Yun Lai was more excited when he saw his young master eating deflated than when he saw Liuying, and he was covering his mouth and snickering. Leng Buding Xie Yu flew over with a slap in the eye, he hurriedly coughed vigorously and patted his horse.

Xie Yu, who was sitting back in the carriage, recalled Xie Hao's dodging figure just now, and felt a little depressed. He only reached out and touched the bridge of his nose, and muttered in a low voice: "Really, the more you grow up, the less cute it becomes." ”

……

Xie Zhen only knew that she went out with Xie Yu at night, but on the second day, she found out that she was wrong, and there were still not many things in Xie Mansion that could hide from Old Lady Xie after all.

Old lady Xie took a sip of white porridge and said casually very casually: "It's so late." Why don't you stay overnight? ”

Xie Zhen was almost choked by the white porridge in her mouth, so she swallowed it, carefully looked at the old lady Xie's face, thinking that she couldn't hide it from the old man, so she simply acquiesced to this matter, and only replied truthfully: "Although there is still the third brother's room in the house, no one has lived in it for a long time, and the bedding has not been dried yet. ”

Old lady Xie nodded, feeling that her words were not too careful, and said: "The gift your third brother gave you is indeed ingenious and different, he is a smart child, but it's a pity that his mind is not on reading, you have to persuade him when you see him again." Otherwise, when I tell him, he won't be able to handle it so easily. ”

This was thought of by Xie Hao, and she nodded vigorously and said, "I know, I'll go to Baiyang Hutong in the afternoon." ”

When Xie Hao went to Baiyang Hutong in the afternoon, Xie Yu was lying on the couch by the window to take a nap, with an open book on his face.

How can you read a good book when you go to bed when you read a book? Xie Zhen frowned, stepped forward, took down the book covering his face, and whispered in his ear: "Third brother! ”

Xie Yu woke up and sat up suddenly, almost hitting Xie Hao's head.

Xie Zhen, who took a step away, said straight in her heart, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Third brother, why are you asleep?" ”

When Xie Yu saw that it was her, his spirit relaxed again, stretched his waist and said, "Aren't I sleepy?" ”

"That's not going to sleep! Heck, I'm not saying you won't be allowed to sleep when you're sleepy, but you can't be sleepy just as soon as you study! Xie Hao jumped to her feet.

Xie Yu nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, I know, I will not sleep next time, even if I am sleepy, I will hold on." ”

After he finished speaking, he was a little aggrieved and said, "Ah Zhen, don't you come here to teach me a lesson?" Did your grandfather ask you to come? ”

When she came, her grandfather did tell her that. Xie Hao nodded and said, "Since you know, why don't you work hard?" Grandfather has high hopes for you! ”

Xie Yu was like a child at this moment, and wailed: "Ah Zhen, you don't know me, you want me to read the account book, I can read it for three days without sleeping, but you want me to memorize poems and make articles...... Difficult. ”

Xie Zhen said angrily: "What's so difficult about this? Can't you sit quietly and read? ”

Xie Yu said: "But I just can't see it!" Alas, if only I were as smart as you! ”

Xie Zhen glared and said, "Why is the third brother not as smart as me?" Don't say that! You're just not interested in reading. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xie Yu grabbed a step and went down, "Then can I not study?" ”

"Of course not!" Xie Zhen said: "How did you promise me before?" You say you don't do business, so what can you do besides study? ”

Xie Yuxin said: Then there are still a lot of things to do! But he couldn't tell her about those ambitions, so he had to avoid answering, and he looked a little depressed.

Xie Zhen only thought that her words were too heavy, and said busily: "I'm not saying that you can only study, third brother...... Alas, in short, it would not hurt you to read more books, at least for now you can please your grandfather, what's so bad? ”

Xie Yu still didn't have much interest, so he only nodded gloomily.

He was so unhappy and he was confident last night.

Xie Zhen couldn't bear it in her heart, so she only changed the topic again, took out the five hundred taels of silver tickets from her bosom and handed them to him, and as if she was afraid that he would refuse again, she said quickly: "I know that you are not short of silver flowers, but I think you must have spent a lot of silver to prepare a surprise for me this time, and these silver should be made up by me!" You are not allowed to refuse! ”

Xie Yu couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't have to think about it to know that the little girl had thought in her heart last night that she was going to make up for him today.

Seeing that he didn't accept it, Xie Zhen only took his hand, stuffed the silver ticket into his hand, pushed his hand away and said, "I don't care, if you don't accept it today, I'm going to be angry!" You see if I'm coming to see you in the future! Hmph, maybe you still wish you could do this! You've been thinking I'm verbose for a long time! ”

Hey, why is this stupid girl getting more and more outrageous? Xie Yu had no choice but to surrender and accept the silver ticket.
