Xie Huan saw that Xie Qingheng's face was wrong, and hurriedly turned around and slipped away: "That big brother, I still have something to do, I'll leave first." ”

Xie Qingheng said directly: "Stop." ”

Xie Huan turned around and looked sneering: "Big brother, do you still have something?" ”

Xie Qingheng raised his lips: "I'm fine, but you have something." ”

Xie Huan was forced to sit opposite him by Xie Qingheng with a sad face, facing Xie Qingheng's gaze, only feeling like sitting on pins and needles, and scolded herself for being stupid more than once, what did she think, she actually came to ask Xie Qingheng about the hairpin.

Xie Qingheng saw that she had a weak face, and said directly: "Say, what is there to hide from me?" ”

Xie Huan hurriedly shook her head: "Where can I hide anything from my eldest brother." ”

Xie Qingheng sneered: "I'm your eldest brother, you have knotted your tongue and your eyes fluttering when you lie, and you still want to hide it from me." ”

"For no reason, you came to ask me what I was doing about the hairpin?"

How dare Xie Huan say that she only guessed the matter of Qi Wenfu, and she didn't even have an accurate head on this matter, where did she dare to talk nonsense?

And Su Ruan is young, who knows what the eagle bone hairpin is all about, and how it fell to Qi Wenfu's head in a good manner.

She knew how protective Xie Qingheng was, if she knew that Qi Wenfu came to gnaw on his cabbage and snatched the hairpin that Ruan Ruan was going to give him, then the matter would be a big problem.

Xie Huan hurriedly said with a smile: "Big brother, I'm just curious to ask, when Ruan Ruan asked the people from Baoyue Building to pass through the house that day, he said that he wanted to choose a hairpin for you, wasn't I curious, I want to know what Ruan Ruan gave you besides the hairpin." ”

"Really?" Xie Qingheng was skeptical.

Xie Huan nodded hurriedly: "Really, really, what did I lie to you." ”

Xie Qingheng looked at Xie Huan for a moment, and her scalp was numb, then she retracted her gaze and said: "If you ask about things, ask about things, what's so bad about it, and secretly look like people think there is something else." ”

"It's almost the New Year, and you are going to talk about marriage, so stay in the house to help the third aunt prepare for the New Year, and learn more about housekeeping methods, so as not to suffer when you get married in the future."

Xie Huan hurriedly said, "I know." ”

Xie Qingheng looked at her: "Also, did I ask you to ask your mother about it before?" ”

Xie Huan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted to what Xie Qingheng said, and nodded hurriedly: "I asked, my mother said that Ruan Ruan's birthday was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, just the day before the year, but Ruan Ruan has not had a birthday for a long time." ”

"Big brother, should we prepare a small banquet for Ruan Ruan? She should have done it when she was young, but at that time in Jingnan, her father was gone, and her mother was ...... I heard from my mother that she didn't even eat a bowl of longevity noodles, and she never made a hairpin ceremony. ”

Female and 笄, representing adulthood.

This is an extremely important day for every woman, Xie Huan still remembers the day when she and Lu, her grandmother invited many people to watch the ceremony for her, and specially invited Yun and the eldest princess to perform a hairpin ceremony for her, but Su Ruan's and Lu's ceremony was spent hungry in chaos.

Xie Huan felt sad when she thought about it.

Xie Qingheng thought for a while and said: "Ruan Ruan's leg is not good yet, and she is now on the cusp of the storm, and her father has just been wronged, so holding a small banquet at this time is a bit too eye-catching." ”

He paused before he added:

"In this case, don't talk about this matter yet, I'll go to my grandmother to discuss it and make a decision."

Xie Huan nodded: "Okay, no matter what you do, remember to call me with you." ”

Xie Qingheng saw her so attentive and said, "Didn't you dislike Ruan Ruan before? Is this the case? ”

Xie Huan stomped her feet: "Then I didn't know she was so good at that time, besides, aren't you the same eldest brother, at that time you still shouted that you refused to recognize Ruan Ruan as a sister, and now you still come to me!" ”

Xie Qingheng listened to Xie Huan's words with a somewhat abrupt expression, remembering that Su Ruan and the Chen family had just entered the mansion when they were a little apart, obviously it had only been a few months, but in his heart, it seemed that a long, long time had passed.

There was no suspicion between Su Ruan and him, as if Su Ruan had always been the daughter of the Xie family, his sister, and he should have protected her.

……

After Xie Huan came out of Xinglu Courtyard, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, but fortunately Xie Qingheng didn't ask about the eagle bone hairpin.

Still, there was some hesitation on her face.

Qi Wenfu gave Su Ruan's big cat, and Su Ruan gave him the hairpin, and the two were so intimate when they were laughing in An Yuanbo's Mansion, is there anything between them?

But......

No matter how she looked, she felt that the cold-faced and serious Qi Wenfu was a little unworthy of the soft and soft Su Ruan.

Xie Huan's head hurt a little, and she shook her head after thinking for a while.

Forget it, wait for the opportunity to ask Ruan Ruan.

"Miss, what do you want?" Banyue saw that her young lady was shaking her head and frowning, and couldn't help asking.

Xie Huan came back to her senses: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what I should give Ruan Ruan on her birthday." ”

The jewelry and silver are too vulgar, and at the moment, there are not many people in this Hou Mansion who have more money than Su Ruan.

Xie Huan wrapped around the handkerchief in her hand and muttered, "You help me think about it, I have to give her something special." ”

Banyue scratched her head and said: "Then Miss personally embroiders a handkerchief or wraps a tassel around Miss Six, I see that the things around Miss Six are not very exquisite, Miss Six's female popularity is the best, if you make one for her by yourself, Miss Six will definitely like it." ”

Xie Huan glanced at her: "Really? ”

Half Moon nodded: "Of course." ”

Xie Huan thought about it, it was always a little cold to say goodbye, it was better to do it herself, she clapped her hands: "Okay, that's it, let's go, let's go back." ”

……

Xie Qingheng went to find Old Madam Xie, and no one else in the mansion mentioned it, Su Ruan himself completely forgot that there was such a thing as a birthday.

She didn't nest in the house every day and follow them to learn to cut window flowers, flip through the book that Xie Qingheng found for her, or listen to Xie Jinyun and the others discuss the people who came to the house more and more frequently in the past few years.

Emperor Xuan's holy decree to reward the Su family still caused waves after all.

In the capital, everyone is staring at Su Ruan, the new county lord of Deping, especially after knowing that Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty is specially gracious, Su Xuanmin's title will not be retreated, no matter how Su Ruan marries in the future, as long as the son with the surname Su can inherit the title of Earl Zhongyong, even those families are shocked after being shocked, and they can't help but be moved.

That's a real title.

Even if it's just a false name, it is something that many people and many families can't earn back in a lifetime.
