Huizhi saw that his brother didn't speak anymore, clenched his fists and didn't know what to sulk, he didn't dare to provoke him again, and quietly retreated.

Here, after the third lady handed over her youngest son to her husband, she also came to look for the eldest son, only to see the girl walking out with a blank face, so she asked: "What's wrong with your brother, okay, what kind of rare thing is that, making him so nervous?" ”

Huizhi shook his head: "Mother, I don't know." ”

The third lady asked again, "Did he say anything else?" ”

Huizhi said: "Tell me not to enter the palace these days, and wait until the matter of Yongluo Kingdom and relatives." ”

The third lady said with relief: "Look, your father always blames him for not being presentable, how could my son be wrong, he must be anxious about you, afraid that you will be chosen by the emperor." ”

Huizhi said: "But I'm still young, my brother is blind and nervous." ”

The third lady said: "In the past drafts in the palace, there were many girls who entered the palace at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it is not unreasonable for your brother to worry." But what does this have to do with those two chess pieces? ”

As he was talking, Pingzhen's nurse came in a hurry and found another chess piece that was caught and played by the little brother, and the third lady took it to send it to her son in person.

At this time, Pingli had calmed down a lot, and when he saw his sister again, he could say kindly: "Brother is fine, don't worry." ”

Huizhi put down another chess piece and said, "Is this it?" ”

Pingli smiled: "Yes." ”

Huizhi went to the door and looked at it, and saw that his mother really didn't follow, so he closed the door, returned to the table and asked, "Brother, is this something that someone else gave you?" ”

Seeing this posture, if he didn't make it clear to his sister today, she wouldn't be able to sleep all night, and what he was thinking and hoping for in his heart was nothing unseemly, so he said: "Your Qin Hao's brother's sister, Qin Ying, do you recognize it?" ”

Huizhi sat down, nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Ying'er." ”

Pingli said: "My girls don't study, I only found out recently, but in retrospect, in fact, when she was a child, she was very eager to study and learn skills. At that time, the Qin family was not the Taiwei Mansion, after school, I went to their house to play chess with your brother Qin Hao, she was watching on the side, and the nurses suddenly came and took her away. ”

Huizhi asked: "Don't you even learn to play chess?" I thought that the official ladies in the capital were all familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

Pingli sighed: "It's incredible, right, I probably thought she was pitiful at that time, and after playing chess, I grabbed a few chess pieces for her to play with, and told her what words and meanings were written on the chess pieces." In fact, I was kind at the time, and then I forgot about it, and it was only now that I remembered it again, I didn't expect these chess pieces, she had hidden them for so many years. ”

Huizhi asked, "This is what Sister Ying'er gave back to you?" ”

Pingli smiled: "Otherwise? ”

Huizhi blinked: "Brother, do you like people?" ”

Pingli suddenly blushed, revealing a bit of shyness that he couldn't see on weekdays: "What nonsense......"

Hui Zhi was holding his cheeks and said, "What does it mean that Sister Shadow will return it to you?" ”

"What...... What do you mean? Ping Li suddenly became a little unconfident.

Huizhi asked very seriously: "Brother, have you ever shown favor to Sister Ying'er, and did you give her anything later?" ”

Pingli coughed dryly and said, "She's not, I've lived in our house for a few days, and I'm afraid she'll be bored, so I've got a few books." ”

Huizhi said: "Isn't Sister Ying'er illiterate? ”

Pingli hurriedly said: "When your third sister-in-law was on the border of Zanxi, she hand-wrote a number of enlightenment books for the children there, which are stronger than the three-character classic, and the children can read by themselves, so I asked for a copy for her later." ”

Huizhi held his face in his hands and looked at his brother with reverence: "It's the first time I've seen my brother, and I've bothered to do something so hard." ”

Pingli straightened his back: "Your brother and I have always been steady. ”

Hui Zhidao: "Then I think that Sister Ying'er returned the chess pieces to you, maybe she just wanted to reject you, otherwise she should always treasure it." ”

Pingli froze, was stunned for a long time and said, "You, why don't you want your brother to be good?" ”

Huizhi said: "I'll tell you the truth, but I promise you, I won't tell anyone about this, neither my mother nor my grandmother, nor my third sister-in-law." ”

But Pingli had a pimple in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Yes, what else does she give me?" ”

Huizhi said: "You go and ask yourself, isn't it easy to go to the Taiwei Mansion?" ”
