"Greetings to Grandmother. Shi Jiaolan curtsied, turned her head to meet Shi Qingluo's gaze, her eyes flashed, and the next moment she shouted in surprise, "Fourth sister, you are finally back, these days can make me anxious." ”

Shi Jiaolan shrugged her nose, her eyes slightly reddened.

Compared with Shi Jiaolan's closeness that could not be concealed on the surface, Shi Qingluo's reaction was very different, until the old lady looked over, Shi Qingluo got up sluggishly, and shouted with a smile: "Third sister." ”

Shi Jiaolan was a little embarrassed, and said by herself: "Look at the past few days, I haven't seen each other, and I have been divided." He stopped looking at her, walked straight behind the old lady, stretched out his hand and beat her back, "Grandmother has been waiting here all these days, but be careful." ”

The old lady smiled happily and dragged Shi Jiaolan to her side, "Isn't this to wait for the four girls, now that the four girls are back safely, I will naturally go back." After the old lady finished speaking, she asked her again: "By the way, why did you come back so early today? Didn't you say that you were going to the Qin Mansion to accompany the girl from the Qin family?"

"I heard that the fourth sister arrived home, so I naturally rushed back after school. Shi Jiaolan said.

Ding interjected and laughed, "The two sisters have been close since they were children, and Baozhi's girl always complains to me, saying that her third sister is only close to the fourth sister, but ignores her!"

The old lady laughed too.

Shi Jiaolan hung her head shyly, "Mother, don't listen to Baozhi's nonsense, I treat all my sisters closely, that girl is very jealous." ”

The main hall was full of joy, and Shi Qingluo also had some smiles between his eyebrows.

Shi Jiaolan secretly glanced at her twice, and said: "By the way, the fourth sister has just returned home, and she hasn't seen Aunt Xu yet, right?" I haven't seen each other for three or two months, and Aunt Xu must be thinking about the fourth sister in her heart, I'll take the fourth sister to Aunt Xu's yard to have a look?"

Shi Jiaolan walked to Shi Qingluo's side involuntarily, and the old lady nodded and said: "Go, go, go, mother and daughter, if you don't want to, go and see, hurry back to your yard to rest, after so many days, call the kitchen to do some health care." ”

Qingluo understood, and retired first. Shi Qingluo bowed, and then followed Shi Jiaolan out of the main hall.

There are still a lot of people clearing the snow on the trail in the house, Shi Jiaolan led her to walk for a while, came to a remote courtyard, the little guy outside the courtyard saw the two, saluted and went in to report, Shi Jiaolan put her skirt into the door for a while, and turned her head to look at her in embarrassment

"Hmm...... Fourth sister, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. Shi Jiaolan's eyes flickered, "You also know that when you left home, Aunt Lu in the house was seriously ill, and she left half a month ago, and the third brother was young and had no one to support her, so Aunt Xu took the initiative to ask Ying and assigned the third brother to her name to take care of her." ”

Shi Qingluo was stunned, nodded with a wry smile, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, third sister." Auntie, she has always wanted a younger brother, and she has been unwilling for many years, and now she has got what she wants, and I am not unhappy. ”

Shi Jiaolan looked at her expression for a moment, and saw that she was indeed uncomfortable but couldn't say it, so she turned around and walked into the courtyard suspiciously.

As soon as the two of them reached the outer courtyard, footsteps were heard inside, and a well-dressed woman and a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old walked out one after the other.

"The concubine has seen the third lady. ”

Aunt Xu bowed and smiled and saluted.

Shi Huan arched his hand and called, "Third sister." ”

"The third brother of the aunt doesn't have to be polite. Aunt Xu, look, who's back. Shi Jiaolan smiled and took a step back, pulled Shi Qingluo's sleeve, Shi Qingluo quietly avoided her touch, met Aunt Xu's eyes, and hooked her lips slightly, "Auntie." ”

She called, her words with kindness, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

Xu Shi saw Shi Qingluo early, she glanced at her lightly, hummed coldly, and then smiled at Shi Jiaolan: "Trouble the third miss, and personally send Luo'er to see me, why don't the third miss go in and have a cup of tea?"

Shi Jiaolan said with a smile: "No need, I have some things to do, so I won't bother Aunt Xu and the fourth sister to catch up." Shi Jiaolan nodded to Shi Qingluo, ignored Xu's retention, and turned around and left Xu's courtyard.

It wasn't until she couldn't see Shi Jiaolan's figure that Xu's enthusiastic expression collapsed, she glanced at Shi Qingluo angrily, and snorted coldly, "It's fast to come back, I thought you were going to stay in that poor and remote place for the rest of your life." ”

The gloom in Shi Qingluo's eyes became more and more aggravated, and his smile was also retracted, "Auntie, what do you mean?"

"What, you're still not happy to listen?" Xu Shimei's eyes widened, "Your embroidery skills are superb, and you have the teaching of the painter who was personally found by the eldest lady, and you personally embroidered a birthday picture and presented it, so why do you need the old man to work tirelessly to find any birthday pictures." You didn't listen to me at the beginning, but now that something happens, you still deserve it. ”

Shi Qingluo's long eyelashes are slightly constricted.

Yes, at the beginning, Shi Cong and Ding's were planning to let her embroider the birthday picture and present it to the Queen Mother, but after the birthday picture was embroidered, it had nothing to do with her. Shi Qingluo has made a name for Shi Jiaolan over the years, and he was unwilling in his heart, and it was the first time that he openly disobeyed Shi Cong's order and was grounded for a while.

In the end, seeing that the birthday banquet was imminent, Shi Congcai had to find a pair of embroidery to replace it. Shi Baozhi let her take the blame, and she also had the idea of holding grievances for her sister.

Shi Qingluo sighed, Shi Huan saw that her expression was slightly gloomy, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Auntie, the fourth sister's temperament is very big, the aunt didn't see it, the fourth sister still refuses to admit her mistake now?" Fourth sister, my father is still angry about your business, the fourth sister is still honest and obedient these days, don't make trouble anymore." ”

Shi Qingluo glanced at Shi Huan, and the sharp cold light in his eyes was as sharp as the tip of a needle.

Shi Huan's gloating smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"Huan'er is right, Huan'er is your own brother now, you just look at your brother like this? Xu gave Shi Huan a menacing voice, and squeezed Shi Qingluo with two sentences, and stood in front of Shi Huan as soon as his body moved, blocking Shi Qingluo's gaze.

Shi Qingluo slowly turned his head away, and was not angry, and smiled calmly, "I want to come to my aunt and my third brother to get along very well, I am a heartless thing, and I will not come to block my aunt in the future." Shi Qingluo turned to leave.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, he paused slightly, turned his head to look at Xu and Shi Huan, and added with a smile: "Auntie is going to discipline the third brother well, my aunt has been raised since I was a child, and I have taught me to be a heartless thing, and I don't know if I have a heart or no heart when I bring it back to me halfway." ”

"If this teaches another waste, my aunt will have no hope again. Shi Qingluo chuckled twice and walked out of the courtyard leisurely.

Xu jumped to his feet in annoyance.
