"Cousin, I'm back!" said the servant, before I could reply, and a flattering little boy ran up to me. With him came the scent of sweet sugar gourds.

I didn't bother to pay attention to how the sugar gourd in his hand came from, and the first thing I saw when this guy came back at this time was to take him home quickly. Don't bother to care about the last time he went shopping and beat people. I don't want to worry about myself anymore.

"Miss, there are guests outside the house who want to see you. ”

Just as I was about to get up and leave, my servant suddenly gave me this sentence.

Guest?

I don't remember who I ever invited. There should be no guests.

"What kind of guests?" I asked.

"A nice and kind big sister. Yingchen suddenly interjected, "No, it's the sugar gourd she bought for me." Yingchen held up his sugar gourd to show me.

I ignored Yingchen's finished speaking and waited quietly for the servant to answer.

"It's a strange woman, and she seems to be very interested in Miss's. It was because I met her just now that I delayed for so long. The servant said.

I mean, it's been so long. It turned out that I met a strange person.

But I knew that the other party should have no ill intentions, otherwise the servant would not have brought her.

"Let her in. I sat back in my chair and said.

Why would anyone be interested in me? and a woman I didn't know?

"Okay. ”

After the servant finished speaking, he turned to the woman who was waiting outside the door and said, "Miss, please come into the house." ”

When the person behind me walked up to the servant and walked towards my house, I was surprised to see the woman named Lianzhu.

The plain green shirt, the goose yellow belt, and the demure and mature temperament make this person look kind but mysterious.

However, I have a crush on her inexplicably.

From the first time our eyes first touched, I saw a familiar sensation in her eyes.

The servant led her to the opposite side of my tea table and poured her a cup of tea.

Since her first impression on me was not annoying, I temporarily forgot about the existence of Yingchen, a little troublemaker, and showed the proper social etiquette. I told the servant to ask Xiao Er to order some delicious snacks to entertain the woman in front of me.

Although I don't know her identity, since I am a visitor, I also want to do a little bit of landlord friendship.

After the servant went out, Yingchen ran to me and asked, "Cousin, I'm going out too." ”

I brought the Nine Rings in front of him, "Play obediently, you will only cause trouble if you go out without me." I'll take you out when I'm done with this guest. ”

"Oh. Yingchen lowered his head and took over the Nine Links, "Then cousin, after you finish speaking, can you take me to Ci'an Temple, I heard that the host there will come out at noon today." ”

"When did you become interested in Buddhist things?" I looked at Yingchen in surprise. This guy is not the kind of person who believes in Buddhism. However, if he is really influenced by the Dharma and becomes more mature and sensible, it will not be a good thing.

"Well, I've heard that those monks do some activities every time they say something, and it is said that those activities are very fun, and I want to go and see them. Ying Chen said with a twinkle in his eyes.

I groaned inwardly, and I knew he would do this.

"I think about it. I said.

I've had enough of things to do with him on a trip, and now if I go to a crowded place with him to make trouble, I guess I won't be able to spend the whole day in peace.

"Come with me, come with me, cousin. I will definitely be obedient when the time comes, and I will listen to my cousin in everything. Yingchen hugged me coquettishly.

Listen to me for everything? I've heard too many of these lies.

I didn't believe him at all.

"Let me talk to the sister who bought you the sugar gourd today, okay?" I said, pulling away his hand around my neck.

I really doubt that this kid was a cat in his last life, and he was particularly pestering when he was spoiled.

As soon as he pulled his hand away, he immediately hugged him again. "No, no, no, I want my cousin to promise me first. ”

Uh, what a troublesome boy, that's why I don't like to have relatives at home come to see me with their kids!

"Yingchen, is it good to know some politeness, outsiders are still there! Why are you so ignorant in front of outsiders?" I finally got impatient.

"Outsiders?"

A small voice said, not from Yingchen.

I looked at the woman sitting across from my tea table.

At this glance, I was suddenly taken aback.

Why are her eyes watering?

"This aunt, oh no, sister, no, no, no...... What should I call you?" I said awkwardly.

The woman was stunned, then smiled, "My name is Lianzhu, if you want, you can call me Zhu'er." ”

However, as soon as the words fell, the tears in her eyes flowed even more.

"Huh, my sister looks older than my cousin, why do you want my cousin to call you by your name?" asked Yingchen.

Yes, although I was a little concerned about why she was so good, it was strange for her to ask me to call her by her name.

"I," the woman opposite me looked at Yingchen a little embarrassed, as if she wanted to say something, but the tears couldn't stop flowing, like bursting the embankment. He was choked up and couldn't speak.

What's going on? Yingchen and I looked at each other.

But no matter what, people are crying, as if they want to help them wipe their tears, right?

I took out my handkerchief, "Yingchen get out of the way first." Then he got up and walked up to the woman and handed it to her.

The woman who was choked up seemed to have found something when she saw the handkerchief I handed me, and she suddenly asked me, "This handkerchief, sister...... No, how did Miss Lianxiang get it?"

How could she ask me this question?

I thought about it for a moment and said, "This was given to me by a woman who came to visit my mother last year. ”

However, when I talked about the experience of this handkerchief, I suddenly remembered the name of the embroiderer on this handkerchief - Zhu'er.

Thinking of the person in front of me, I was suddenly startled, "Zhu'er?"

Why did the woman in front of me ask me to call her by her name, which is the same as the name on my handkerchief?!

"Woman?" the woman, Lianzhu, was a little surprised by my answer.

Although her cheeks were full of tears at this time, her eyes quickly fell into thought.

"Could it be that the young master of Qiushui of Qinglei arranged it? Could it be that he had already found a place last year in advance?"

"But why didn't he tell me? not even the prince?"

"Uh," Yingchen walked up to me with a blank expression, "Cousin, what's wrong with this sister? What is she talking about?"

I'm also at a loss.

If I hadn't started to make a good first impression of her, I wouldn't have stayed in this room patiently and listened to her say something I didn't understand.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" asked Yingchen as she squeezed me away and arched between me and Lianzhu.

"What?" Lian Zhu suddenly came back from her thoughts, and looked at Ying Chen who had clubbed her face in front of her in a trance.

"I was just asking......"

I suddenly interjected, "Yingchen, you stepped on my foot." ”

"Oh. Yingchen hurriedly removed her feet.

"I'm sorry, cousin, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. "I'm too lazy to bother with him.

"Huh, isn't it?" Ying Chen was a little surprised.

Suddenly, my foot was stepped on again, "Does it hurt now?"

Looking at that innocent face, I was thinking about a serious question, how could my second aunt give birth to such an idiot cousin?

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, "Yingchen, while playing, don't bother me talking to this sister." ”

"Huh, don't you feel it?" Ying Chen looked at me.

Suddenly, he lifted his foot and stomped on my poor toe a few times, and it was a real stomp. His body was practiced with the second aunt from a martial arts family.

The pain caused by the injury to my toes was so great that I forgot to speak.

When I clenched my fists and pondered whether to beat him hard, Yingchen said a word, hooking up all the new and old hatreds I had since I met him these days.

"Hey, you don't feel like this, cousin, is this foot of yours useless?"

Three seconds later.

His eyes were still a little confused, and he suddenly grabbed me, "Don't hit the child! He's still young and ignorant, sister, just forgive him......"

The resentment in my stomach and the pain in my feet have made my lady fan completely lost.

I can't hear what Lianzhu is saying anymore.

I pulled Yingchen and hit him hard.

Although I can't beat Yingchen according to reason, but our family rules are very strict, our family advocates the order of the elders and children, how powerful Yingchen is, when I am angry, he doesn't dare to hide.

So, by the time I beat me up, Yingchen was already crying.

"Stinky cousin, bad cousin, I don't want you anymore, I don't want you anymore! I hate you! I hate you!"

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, it was all his own doing.

I have never beaten a child of my generation in my life, and he is the only one who can make an exception for me.

Lianzhu saw that I ignored Yingchen, and Yingchen was looking at me with an extremely sad look, seeing that we had no signs of easing, so she who had cried just now actually stepped forward to comfort Yingchen at this time, "Don't cry, don't cry, sister will take you to eat delicious food, okay?" Sister will take you to see the temple fair, take you to eat sugar gourd, take you to eat osmanthus cake, take you to ......" Lianzhu said the name of a large list of delicious things.

After Yingchen heard those words, her crying gradually became smaller. This was a bit of a surprise to me. I didn't expect this kid to be so coaxing.

I looked at Lianzhu and Yingchen silently, feeling that the two of them were like normal brothers and sisters.

It's just that, looking at Lianzhu's eyes that have been a little red because of crying before, the two look more like poor sisters and brothers who are hiding in the corner after being bullied by bullies.

But then, am I not the bully?

It feels so weird.

But I didn't know what to do at this point.

Thinking that if Yingchen sues my father after returning home, saying that I beat him, I won't want to live in peace in the rest of my life.

Although my father will not beat me, and he is still a reasonable person, but he must be partial to Yingchen in this matter, who made Yingchen small? Thinking that in the future I may be taught by my father how immature, how unstable, and how ignorant I am? I have a headache.

I think, these are not the end, when the time comes, he will definitely let my mother educate, let me learn from those famous ladies of the previous generation, how to be a good sister, how to get along with the family, and even, if she has enough time, she will also educate me how to live in harmony with my husband's sister-in-law and brother-in-law in the future.

That's why I hate those relatives coming to my house! They can't let me live a good life at all, they always make trouble for me every day!
