Chapter 5: Brotherhood and Sisterhood

10:17 on October 2, 522 in the Magic Calendar

Sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, shining on Hongying's sleeping face.

The kitchen is already busy, and Xiang Risong never cooks at home. When he wanted to do something, he found that there was not even a pot in the kitchen.

He called Marshall, who had come to serve early in the morning, into the kitchen: "Marshall, why is there nothing in my kitchen?" ”

"You're all ......"

"Ah, forget it, is there any breakfast that you can make without a pot?"

"You want? Make breakfast? You don't go ......"

"What are you doing with so much nonsense! I ask you, and you can answer! ”

"Why don't you make a sandwich?"

Xiang Risong nodded and opened the refrigerator: "Ah, why is my refrigerator also empty?" ”

Marshall lowered his head: "I'll buy it." ”

Xiang Himatsu supported his body with his hands: "Go quickly." ”

When Marshall came back panting, Xiang Himatsu was already anxiously sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him.

Xiang Risong put the large and small bags of plastic bags on the operating table, and then looked at Marshall with a blank face: "Eh...... What should I do first? ”

"Sir, why don't you let me come?"

"Okay, okay, no! I'm going to do it myself, you just say I'll do it. ”

Marshall looked at the hurried Xiang Himatsu and couldn't help laughing, but the gentleman who was busy making sandwiches didn't hear it.

Awakened by the smell of food, she tried to sit up, but the soft quilt wrapped her tightly. She wanted to lie on the bed: "Oh, it's so soft." ”

But the magic of food is too powerful. She lifted her nose and sniffed hard, "Grunt-" Hongying's stomach woke up.

She found that the bed she slept on was large, and there was a golden veil hanging by the side of the bed. She couldn't remember how she got here last night, she just remembered crying.

It must have been my brother who brought him over.

When Hongying was still struggling on the bed, Xiang Risong had already pushed the door in, holding a silver tray in his hand.

"I knew you couldn't get up, so I brought you breakfast."

"Wow! It's an aristocratic breakfast! So you got up early? ”

"No, it's a royal breakfast, I got up early to prepare it, it was my first time making breakfast, so I made a relatively simple sandwich. Well, I usually eat when I go to the parliamentarians. ”

"So it was done specifically for me?" Hongying looked expectantly at the sandwich on the tray.

Xiang Himatsu placed the tray on the bedside table: "I know you like meat, so ......" he pointed to the mezzanine in the sandwich.

"It's all meat!" Hongying looked at Xiang Risong in surprise, took the sandwich from his hand, took a super big bite, stuffed his mouth full, and his words were a little unclear, "You also smeared honey on the meat, it's so delicious." ”

Xiang Risong remembered that it was no wonder that Marshall had asked me to coat the pork with honey, and it turned out that Hongying liked to eat sweet.

Looking at Hongying, who was super delicious, Xiang Risong smirked, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment: "Drink some hot tea, don't choke." ”

Hongying picked up the small teacup and drank the black tea in one gulp. After eating, he nodded with satisfaction: "Brother, it's delicious!" ”

Xiang Risong put the teacup back on the tray and prepared to go out: "You can only sleep for a while, you still have to change your clothes, I'll take you to the black market for a walk." ”

"Why go to the black market?"

"Go and pick a magic weapon for you, you are such a powerful little witch must choose a powerful one for you."

Hongying nodded excitedly: "I'm not sleeping!" I'll change my clothes right away. Wait for me, I'll be soon! ”

Xiang Risong asked Marshall to wash the dishes, and sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for Hongying.

But he was sleepy, and Hongying hadn't come down yet. He shouted, "Hongying, aren't you okay yet?" ”

"Alright, alright! I'm almost there! ”

When Hongying was about to change clothes, as soon as she opened the cabinet, all kinds of colorful clothes filled the cabinet. It took her a long time just to pick out the yellow clothes she liked.

The bed was covered with clothes, and the most eye-catching of them was a simple yellow plaid puff-sleeved stand-up collar dress.

Marshall cleaned up the messy kitchen that had been messed up by Xiang Risong and walked to the living room: "Sir, the kitchen is cleaned up, do you have any other instructions?" ”

"You go to the councillor's meeting and tell them that I am taking leave today, and if there is a copywriting job or something, you can ask the fourth palace to help take a look."

"Yes."

Marshall had been walking for a while before Hongying walked down the stairs.

"Oh, you nobles are too troublesome in their clothes, and there are too many ornaments. It took a long time just to pick one that was simpler. By the way, I saw a lot of clothes in the cabinet that I could wear. You bought it all? ”

"Of course. Marshall was on the verge of breaking his leg last night. Xiang Risong carefully looked at Hongying from top to bottom, "Do you have to hold that little bear?" ”

"Hmm." Hongying smiled, "You have to thank Marshall for me." He's quite tasteful. ”

"Looks like you're a good match." Xiang Risong looked at Hongying's raunchy and scattered hair, "I think we should go get a haircut first." ”

"Still want a haircut? Don't you have to go to the black market? ”

"Come on, come on."

"Okay."

Xiang Risong took Hongying: "Then let's go." ”

From the first step of walking into the barbershop, Hongying felt very awkward.

Everyone was respectful to themselves, which made it difficult for Hongying to adapt, and she held Xiang Risong's hand tighter.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A barber who could be described as slender walked up to Xiang Risong's side: "Lord Xiangri, what do you want to do today?" ”

"This is my sister, you cut it for her."

The barber looked at the messy red glow and hesitated: "Sister? Well, okay, I got it. ”

"Miss Xiangri, please be seated. I'll cut your bangs, and then the hair in the back will be trimmed for you. ”

"yes, okay."

The barber washed and blew on Hongying's hair, and it was a long time before he actually started cutting it. At this time, Hongying had already fallen asleep, and when she was woken up, Xiang Risong had already cut a new hairstyle.

Hongying looked at her strange self in the mirror, obediently Qi bangs, and her hair was groomed soft and smooth. She didn't recognize herself. She looked at Xiang Risong and found that he had changed a lot.

Xiang Risong came out of nowhere so much confidence: "How is it? ”

"How did your greasy back turn into such a refreshing hairstyle? You look younger. ”

"I'm only sixteen."

Hongying shook her head: "Why are you so young, why are you pretending to be so old?" ”

"I brought you to cut your hair, you look at you, now it's like a doll, and you still say that about me. You've hurt me! Xiang Risong took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "Let's hurry up, it's almost noon." ”

Hongying took Xiang Risong's hand and left the barbershop and went to the black market.

"The resources owned by the black market are all illegal or stolen. But then it was taken over by the government, and it was gradually legalized. From here on, they all sell magic weapons, so you can pick slowly. ”

She didn't shop well last time, and she wanted to pick up a lot of interesting things and take a good look.

After walking a whole street, she was quite tired, and Hongying looked at Xiang Risong: "There are so many strange magic weapons, will anyone really use them?" ”

"Do you have a favorite?"

Hongying pouted: "No, although those things are interesting, they just can't get my favor." ”

"Magic weapons still need to have a fate with magicians." Xiang Himatsu casually picked up a mirror from the side, "Let me take a good look at my short hair again." ”

Hongying's eyes were fixed on the mirror.

Xiang Risong put down the mirror: "Since there is nothing I like, then let's go visit the academy first." What's wrong? Do you like this mirror? Buy it if you like. ”

"How much?"

The mirror merchant said, "No counteroffer, a thousand coins." ”

Xiang Risong gave the money to the mirror merchant: "Here you go." He gave the mirror to Hongying.

Hongying took the mirror and frowned. She felt that the mirror was drawing her deeply.

It was the first time Xiang Risong had seen her with such a serious expression.

"Brother, this is not a mirror, this is a magic weapon. You should give him more money. ”

"This is a magic weapon? Why can't I feel it? ”

"The unintentional mirror is hindering your senses." Hongying poured magic power into the hand holding mirror at once, and the mirror shattered instantly.

Holding a mirror floating in the palm of his hand, the center of the mirror is inlaid with red flame-shaped gemstones, and around it is a circle of hollowed-out flowers, and the flowers are surrounded by green jade. They all shine.

As soon as Hong Ying grasped the mirror in her hand, she used a little force, and the mirror burst into flames.

Xiang Risong looked at Hongying incredulously: "This is your fate." ”

The mirror merchant felt that he had lost a lot: "This, this, old, boss, I ...... I ......"

Xiang Risong patted the mirror merchant on the shoulder: "You have made a meritorious service, this is a gold, which is much more expensive than ordinary magic weapons." ”

"Thank you...... Thank you...... Boss, thank you! The mirror merchant took this piece of gold and hurriedly closed the shop, "Great, I have money!" ”

Hongying happily held this fire mirror: "This mirror dealer must have rubbed it often and polished it bright enough." It's just that you can see it at a glance. You're right, magic weapons can indeed increase the power of magic, and my little glow can turn into raging fire. So happy! ”

Xiang Risong looked at a bear holding Hongying's left hand, and holding a mirror in his right hand: "I have to buy you another bag." ”

"Still buying? You've just spent a gold. ”

"I'll have to pay you more than 500 gold to send you to school in the future, don't forget to forget it."

"In the future, when I make money, I will buy it for you, it's okay."

"I know a shop that sells bags."

"No, I'll just take a look here, maybe there's something good." Hongying pointed to the leather bag seller on the side, "You see this kind of crossbody bag is very good, I can also tie the bear to it." ”

Xiang Risong put his hand on Hongying's head and stroked it gently: "You don't need to help me save money, I'm very rich." ”

"I want them to make money, you just saw that the mirror dealer will be so happy when he receives a gold, let's come to buy things often in the future."

Xiang Risong smiled dotingly: "I know, I listen to you." ”

The bag was bought quickly, and Xiang Risong gave the bag merchant a little more money, and he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Yes, seeing them so happy, it seems that Xiang Himatsu has become happy too.

"Hongying, you're not a witch, you're an angel."
