The eldest brother Chen Xiaokang, eighteen years old, is already an expectant father. The wedding held last winter married the daughter of Chen's father's colleague, which can be regarded as a good match. A few days ago, I learned that my sister-in-law was more than three months pregnant, which made the whole family very happy. Treat the sister-in-law as a key object of protection.

"Your sister-in-law is also worried about you, but due to her special situation now, it is inconvenient to come to see you, so I specially asked me to bring her gift with me."

The second brother Chen Xiaodong complained on the side: "Didn't you come to visit my sister here?" How does someone look so happy? ”

He is sixteen years old, and he has just been married, and he is the youngest daughter of the family of the Tobe squire, and he is ready to get married next spring.

Strictly speaking, marrying the second brother with such a family background is considered a low marriage. Just like an old lady looking for a marriage partner for Chen Xiaoyun to find someone with a lower door than herself, many families will consider this for their daughter's easier life after marriage. What's more, the second brother is not the eldest son. He can inherit a part of the family property from the family, but he has much less responsibilities and obligations to the family.

The family of the household servant also took a fancy to the second brother, whose family background was simple and innocent, and he was humble and righteous.

Besides, he has already been admitted to Xiucai, even if he can't go any further, he can rely on the Yue family to find a good errand, and he will always have no worries about food and clothing.

"The young lady of the Tobe squire's family, do you know that his future husband is such a villain who can't see others live better than him? Alas! What a good woman, who knows that fate will arrange for you to marry a person with a small belly. Lamentable! Alas! ”

The eldest brother did not participate in the imperial examination, and Chen's father was ready to let him follow the path of recommendation. After he got married, he has been taking him to various social gatherings to exercise his communication skills. Now it seems that the results are remarkable - he will not fall into the disadvantage of arguing with the second brother.

The two have been fighting with each other like this since they were children, and they have never really been angry for so many years. They don't make noise in front of their elders. I'm afraid of being said to be frivolous.,Only in my sister will I be so relaxed.。

Seeing that the second brother was about to open his mouth to fight back again, Li Yi hurriedly rushed in front of him and spoke: "Two elder brothers, Yun'er is very curious, what gift did you bring to Yun'er this time?" ”

"The second brother went out the day before yesterday and saw a group fan, with fine workmanship and a unique painting style, so he bought two. Let's see if it's your favorite style? The second brother blushed a little as he spoke.

Blushing what? After thinking about it, he knew what was going on, and quipped: "I look at this fan......" observed the second brother while speaking, and then continued when his appetite was satisfied: "The second sister-in-law will definitely like it!" ”

"Hahaha", as soon as these words fell, everyone in the gazebo laughed.

"You narrow girl! I kindly gave you a fan, but I was so funny! Let's see if I can send you anything in the future. ”

"Good second brother, don't be angry." Li Yi saw that he was really angry, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Yun'er has never seen the second brother so nervous, so she was playful for a while. I'm sorry. ”

"Don't apologize. Originally, he had bad intentions and bought two fans, one for you, and the other for Miss Zhao secretly. After the eldest brother comforted Li Yi, he said to the second brother seriously: "This fan can't be given away indiscriminately, today I am fortunate to give it to my sister, if it is given to Miss Zhao, it must be said to be Meng Lang's person." ”

"What's wrong with this fan?" The second brother asked nervously.

Li Yi also looked at the thing in his hand curiously, it was a beautiful fan, and there was nothing special about it.

"Look at the jade pendant under the fan, it is in the shape of a cloud." Chen Xiaodong and Li Yi looked at each other, and they both saw the dazed look on each other's faces.

"Usually the jade pendant under the fan is round. You know that, right? The eldest brother has a tone of "you are stupid, please reveal the secret".

Li Yi nodded cooperatively and urged repeatedly.

Chen Xiaokang saw that the appetite of the two was satisfied, and continued: "There was a period of time before the dynasty that this kind of group fan with a cloud style as a pendant was popular. The style is novel and very sought after. Later, there was a poor boy who fell in love with the daughter of a rich family, and he gave this style of fan to the young lady as a love token, and abducted her to elope with him. Later, it was discovered by the young lady's family. The family was angry that their daughter had been given to her privately, and they expelled the young lady from the house. After the story spread, no one dared to decorate it with such a pendant anymore. He finished a story in one breath, took the tea on the table and moistened his lips, but did not drink it.

"Fortunately, the eldest brother reminded me! Otherwise, I'm going to laugh and be generous. The second brother was obviously a little afraid. He looked at the fan in Li Yi's hand and was a little embarrassed: "It's not appropriate for you to give this, my sister should lose it." I'm looking for something else for my sister. ”

Li Yi smiled: "I like this fan tightly, since the second brother has given it to me, it is mine, and you can't care if you lose it or keep it." Li Yi was afraid that he would be worried, and added: "There is nothing wrong with the fan itself, but there is something wrong with this pendant, and we asked our ingenious Xiaohong to help change it, can you rest assured?" ”

Xiaohong hurriedly echoed: "Please rest assured, Second Young Master, when you go back, Xiaohong immediately took off the pendant." ”

"Big brother, what did you bring me?" Li Yi pretended to be curious to change the topic: "Is it food?" With? Or is it a play? ”

"Haha, it's neither! You can't guess now. The eldest brother smiled smugly.
