"It's because I ran too fast and didn't see the two sisters, don't blame them." Qing Dai lowered her head embarrassedly, "This time I sneaked out to play, and I had to trouble my eldest brother to help me block it." ”

"There's a big brother here, don't worry." Shangguan Xi raised his hand and touched Qingdai's head, and sat down beside her, "I just sent someone to Rongxi Hall to inform them, saying that I invite you to come to Tingtao Courtyard to sit." Let's go, I don't know how long it will take to see you again, put you alone in Wuzhou, and wronged you. ”

"Not aggrieved." Qing Dai shook her head, "Everyone in the family is gone, no one talks to my grandmother to relieve her boredom, and Dai'er stays just to accompany her old man." ”

The smiling eyes were as bright as stars, pure and unstained, and they were unusually bright in this somewhat dimly lit room, without the loss and dissatisfaction of being abandoned, only calm and indifferent. Such a look didn't seem to appear on a young child, Shangguan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then in the blink of an eye, she had already turned her gaze away, and the strange feeling disappeared.

"My sister has a pure filial piety, but I am deeply ashamed to be an older brother." Shangguan Xi secretly wondered in his heart, in his memory, his third sister rarely went out on weekdays, as if he had never been to Tingtao Courtyard, and he could only meet her on the first and fifteenth days of the new year when the family had dinner and the New Year's Festival. However, since she was frightened last time and moved to Rongxi Hall to recuperate, when she saw her again, she seemed to be a different person, although she was still quiet, but she had lost her cowardice in the past, and she was much more clever and pleasing than before.

"Grandmother said that my brother will do great things in the future, and he can't always be confined to this part of Wuzhou. My brother will be a champion in the future, that light ...... Guangzong Yaozu, it seems to be this word......" Qing Dai frowned and thought about it, vaguely brought it, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, grandmother will be happy, isn't that also filial piety for grandmother." ”

"I haven't seen her for a few days, but the third sister is getting better and better at talking." Shangguan Xi replied lightly, looking at Qing Dai with a smile in his eyes, "Why didn't I find my sister so smart before...... If it weren't for the imminent parting, the eldest brother really wanted to invite his sister over to sit in the future. ”

"It's not too late, is it?" Qing Dai smiled brightly, people can't look good, her eldest brother looks like an honest reader, but in fact he is a thief, "I heard my grandmother say that my brother is good at reading, Dai'er is going to learn calligraphy recently, and I want to borrow some easy books from my brother to learn." ”

"The third sister wants to be enlightened? That's right, I have a few suitable books here, and my sister can bring them back later. ”

Seeing that Shangguan Xi was still enthusiastic, unlike Qingqiang's eldest sister, Qingdai's courage became more and more daring, "Big brother, I'll go and take it with you now, and by the way, let me see your study?" ”

"What's so nice about most of the books being packed into boxes and leaving only empty shelves?" Shangguan Xi looked at Qing Dai with a smile, I don't know what this girl has in mind?

Qingdai came to Shangguan Xi, opened her eyes wide, pulled Shangguan Xi's sleeve, pouted and coquettishly said: "Well-eldest brother, let me take a look, and I will also make a study in the courtyard like my eldest brother." ”

Shangguan Xi looked at her cuteness and scratched her nose, "Cheng, I'll take you to see it." He turned his head and instructed the two maids, "Wait for the painting, hug the three girls." Serve the book, go get some refreshments and send them to the study. ”

……

Shangguan Xi's study, as he saw from the outside, was elegant and simple, with a triple bookcase, a large sandalwood table and a few circle chairs. The books in the cabinet have been emptied, only five or six books are still piled up next to the bookcase, and there is a stack of paper notes on the case, as well as a pear blossom wood pen holder and a stone inkstone.

The inkstone is rectangular, and the inkstone is purple and black, delicate and hard. The inkstone surface has a canal-shaped inkstone pond around the inkstone hall, the inkstone surface is decorated with a shallow pattern of falling flowers and flowing water, the side is a back pattern, the four legs are decorated with human face patterns, although the ornamentation is different, but it is a whole, simple and clear, exquisite and chic, it is the end stone several inkstones.

Qing Dai's eyes were straight, and it was really the same as what the eldest sister sent.

"Big brother, can you show me that?" Qing Dai pointed to the stack of variegated notes next to the inkstone and asked.

"Take whatever." Shangguan Xi saw Qing Dai's expression clearly after entering the door, Qiang Er liked those shiny jewelry when she was so old, it was more difficult for her to enter the study than to ascend to the sky, it was rare that she would like these study books and ink as a girl, but it was surprising.

Qing Dai pinched a light cyan one, I didn't care about it at first, and when I took a closer look, I hurriedly raised it up to look at the light, and a magnolia pattern was secretly shown on the paper, "It looks like a ten-colored paper made in Shuzhong......"

"The third sister knows the origin of this note?" Shangguan Xi walked behind her at some point, and a pair of black eyes were staring at her.

Qing Dai was confused, "I don't know, I just look good-looking, and there are flowers on the paper." Big brother, do you like Magnolia? ”

Shangguan Xi smiled even more, "How do you know?" ”

"The paper used by the eldest brother is magnolia, and the elder sister only picked the magnolia when they went to the backyard."

"Hehe, the third sister is careful."

Qing Dai pursed her lips and smiled, put down the plain note, and turned her eyes to the inkstone again.

"Several types of inkstones are rare on the market, and they are even rarer in end inkstones. This inkstone was given to his father by Lord Nie ......in Guangdong last year, "Shangguan Xi likes inkstone, and this inkstone is one of his favorites, and he will definitely show off one or two when his classmates come to the house as a guest in the past, and he will definitely show off one or two, at this time, he saw Qing Dai staring at it, and explained it by the way, and was talking about it, but he heard Qing Dai muttering: "It's exactly the same?" ”

"The third sister has seen this inkstone? But in the father's room, the father got two sides. ”

"Well, I've seen it, it's not my father, it's my eldest sister......" Qing Dai said half of her words, and felt that she had lost her words, so she hurriedly closed her mouth, raised her eyes timidly and looked at Shangguan Xi and didn't speak again.

Shangguan Xi obviously heard Qingdai mention Qingqiang, and he was suspicious in his heart, Qingqiang obviously didn't like Wenmo, what was the use of such a good inkstone? Besides, the inkstone father is also cherished, how could he easily give it to Qingqiang.

"Where did you see that?"

"......" someone was silent, with a tangled face.

"In addition to the eldest brother, this inkstone is another piece that my father will not give away easily. If my father finds out that the inkstone is lost, how can I live? ”

"......" someone frowned and looked down at their toes.

"If you don't say it, the big brother will go to the big sister to ask for clarification. Where's the one? ”

"Big sister won't let me tell anyone." Someone was in a hurry and finally spoke.

Shangguan Xi raised his eyebrows, I still don't believe that the little girl couldn't ask, "There is no one in this house now, where have you honestly told the eldest brother that you have seen it?" ”

Qingdai's face was wrinkled like a small bun, and she snorted for a long time before she said, "In my yard." ”
