"But......" Qin Guanrui was silent for a long time, with a look of struggle and hesitation on his face.

Qin Chaojiu said understandingly, "Are you worried that your sister will be angry if she finds out?" ”

Qin Guanrui nodded.

Qin Chaojiu immediately said in a cool voice: "No, my sister is gentle and kind, generous and decent, she has always been sensible, and she knows that she is distressed, maybe, she still thinks that she can come over and copy the house rules for me, if she knows that the third brother is copying the house rules for me, she will only be happy." ”

Doesn't Qin Jingxi like to set up a kind character for himself the most, so how can such a person be angry?

Isn't being angry just a broken character?

Sure enough, hearing Qin Chaojiu's words, Qin Guanrui still felt a little reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll help you." ”

"Thank you, third brother, third brother is so good." Qin Chaojiu smiled sweetly.

Qin Guanrui was stunned.

Since Qin Chaojiu returned to the Hou Mansion, although he also called him "Third Brother" and "Third Brother", he had never been so sincere and cheerful at this moment.

The ghost made the gods send the earth, Qin Guanrui followed Qin Chaojiu to the Xinxiang Courtyard, and in the daze, the person was already sitting at the table.

Qin Dynasty ordered the winter lotus root to prepare the four treasures of the study room for Qin Guanrui, and he went to the courtyard of the next person, and only came back after visiting the bamboo festival, she sat at the dinner table and looked at Qin Guanrui.

She took a bite of the big stewed shrimp, and Qin Guanrui wrote down a line.

Qin Guanrui: "......"

Qin Guanrui faintly felt a sense of disharmony in his heart, when did he sit here and start copying the house rules for Qin Chaojiu?

The candlelight gradually lit up, and the candle flame flickered, reflecting Qin Guanrui's side face flickering and dimming.

"Third brother, in fact, it's okay if you don't write." Qin Chao spoke faintly for a long time.

Qin Guanrui said: "It's okay, I've copied it twenty times, and the last ten times, and it's okay tomorrow, and I'll finish copying it after boiling it." ”

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of Dong Lai stopping people in the courtyard.

"Cheng Gongzi, it's already dark, you can't enter our second lady's courtyard anymore, what do you have to say, the slave can help you pass it on, and you can come over tomorrow."

"Cheng Gongzi, Cheng Gongzi, what are you going to do, you can't go in!"

"Bang!"

Cheng Qiang had already knocked open the door, and when he saw that Qin Guanrui was also inside, Cheng Qiang was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Third Prince Qin, what a coincidence, you also came to find Chaojiu." Cheng Qiang said hello with a smile.

Thinking that his two younger sisters were also Qin Guanrui's two younger sisters, he felt as if he and Qin Guanrui also had the same status and status.

Qin Guanrui nodded: "Hmm." ”

He didn't want to deal with Cheng Qiang too much, his expression was detached, and he didn't even say a superfluous word.

Cheng Qiang was accustomed to seeing the eyes of the nobles, and he didn't care about Qin Guanrui's reaction, he walked directly in front of Qin Chaojiu, and said in his usual tone: "I recently lost some money in the casino, and I have no money in my hand, so give me a hundred and eighty taels for use first." ”

Qin Chaojiu sat on the chair and frowned slightly: "Borrowed money again?" ”

She clearly remembered that on the night she came to the Hou Mansion, the housekeeper sent ten taels of silver, but it didn't reach her hands, so it was directly taken away by Cheng Qiang.

Saying that, Cheng Qiang had already sat down next to the table by himself, glanced in the direction of the winter lotus root with his eyes, and said, "Come, pour a cup of tea." ”

Dong Lotus lowered his head and reluctantly poured Cheng Qiang a cup of tea.

Cheng Qiang took a sip, took a sip of tea leaves, and raised his eyebrows at Qin Chaojiu: "Am I here to discuss with you?" Didn't you go into the palace and get a lot of money back? Hurry up, I've made an appointment with someone, the wine table is set, and I'm waiting for it. ”

Qin Chaojiu frowned: "The queen mother's reward is jewelry, not gold and silver, I don't have money for you." ”

"Qin Chaojiu, don't be embarrassed, have you forgotten whose food you grew up eating? I'll ask you for a little money today, and you'll push back and forth, don't you forget that my mother raised you! Cheng Qiang grabbed the cup and slammed it at Qin Chaojiu's feet, staring at a pair of scarlet eyes, and his hands were clenched into fists.

It's like every time you have to fight Qin Chao a long time ago.

However, at this moment, the person standing in front of him did not have any sense of fear, and those clear and cold eyes were faintly falling on his face, and when they met his eyes, they seemed to have a little smile.

"How dare you laugh? Qin Chaojiu, I see that you haven't opened the house for three days, I ......" Cheng Qiang was about to do it as usual, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qin Guanrui on the side.

Qin Guanrui unhappily put the pen in his hand on the table and splashed two drops of ink.

Cheng Qiang immediately dispelled the idea of doing something, he almost forgot that this was the Hou Mansion, not a small mountain village like theirs.

"Hurry up and take out the money, give me as much as I want, I don't have time to spend it here with you."

Cheng Qiang put down his hand, but his tone was still tough.

Seeing that Qin Chaojiu didn't move for a long time, Cheng Qiang rushed directly to Qin Chaojiu, the last time he came, he saw it, she put all the money in a small wooden box.

"Stop!"

Qin Chaojiu snorted coldly: "Winter lotus, stop him!" ”

Although they are brother and sister in name, they are not related by blood after all, how can she allow people to break into her own boudoir room at will?

Cheng Qiang played tricks and pushed the winter lotus away, but in the next moment, he was picked up by Qin Chaojiu with one hand.

"You dare to move Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu fights ......"

"Bang!"

Before Cheng Qiang's swear words could be spoken, he was slammed on his front teeth by Qin Chaojiu with a fist.

Then he was kicked in the stomach.

Cheng Qiang only had to lie on the ground and survive.

"Big brother, do you need me to send you out personally?" Qin Chaojiu took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he asked in a gentle tone.

Cheng Qiang grabbed one of his knocked out front teeth, covered his stomach and got up from the ground: "Qin Chaojiu, you wait for me, I'm not done with you!" ”

Cheng Qiang left, the corners of Qin Chaojiu's mouth curled, as if nothing had happened, he came to Qin Guanrui's side and said, "Is the third brother almost finished?" ”

Qin Guanrui's brows were twisted together, staring at Qin Chao for a long time without speaking.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Chaojiu asked.

Qin Guanrui was silent for a long time, swallowed back what came to his mouth several times, and finally asked with the most difficulty: "Have you lived like this before?" ”

"Huh?" Qin Chaojiu was slightly stunned, her eyes turned to understand Qin Guanrui's words, and she said calmly: "It's almost, but now I'm not what I used to be, and I won't let anyone beat and scold me anymore, I don't know how to fight back." ”

"But they clearly said that they would treat you like their own daughter." Cheng Qiang's eyes seemed to have something pouring out.

Qin Chaojiu chuckled, his bright eyes with a smile: "The third brother is so smart, he won't really believe it, right?" ”

Qin Guanrui breathed.

He didn't dare to admit that he really believed.

He even always thought that Qin Chaojiu was used to lawlessness when he was in the countryside, so he would be so unruly after returning to the Hou Mansion.

But just like Cheng Qiang, where is a brother who loves his sister, what should he look like?

"Why have you never told us, if you did, our brothers, as well as our father and mother, would definitely protect you." Qin Guanrui immediately spoke.

Qin Chaojiu's red lips opened slightly: "Really?" ”

The faint two words, but it seemed to be like a heavy sledgehammer, smashing Qin Guanrui's heart.

He suddenly felt that his cheeks were hot, and his whole body was as uncomfortable as crawling ants, Qin Guanrui dropped the pen and paper that he had not finished, got up and said, "I'll go back first." ”

Walking to the door, Qin Guanrui paused, turned around and said, "You also rest early." ”

When the words fell, he fled and left.

Early the next morning, as soon as Qin Guanrui opened his eyes, he heard the people in the house say that the Xinxiang Courtyard was making trouble again.

Without hesitation, Qin Guanrui put on a coat and went straight to the Heart Fragrance Courtyard.

"Third son, let's go to Changbai Courtyard, the eldest lady and the second lady were all called to Changbai Courtyard."

Changbai Courtyard is the courtyard of his father and mother, and Qin Guanrui turned around and went to Changbai Courtyard when he heard this.

When he arrived, a group of people had already gathered in Changbaiyuan, and even the eldest brother, who was always busy with official business in the past, was actually there today.

Wen Ting was crying while holding Cheng Qiang, and Qin Jiang and Bai Wan both had black faces on the main seat.

Qin Guanjin and Qin Guanming sat on the left side, and Qin Jingxi sat on the right side.

There is also a spot on the right, which should be reserved for him.

And Qin Chaojiu was standing in the middle of the room with Cheng Qiang's mother and son in Wenting at this moment, accepting everyone's scrutiny and anger.

"Qin Chaojiu, you say, why? You are good, why do you want to do it to your eldest brother of the Cheng family, in the past, it was okay to have a small fight between your brothers and sisters, but now, you are the daughter of the Hou Mansion, how can you still be so rude? Spread it out and be known, where do you put the face of our Hou Mansion? ”

Bai Wan opened her mouth to make accusations.

Wen Ting cried louder when she heard this, she said while crying: "Why else, isn't it just that our mother and son are embarrassed for her, completely ignoring our mother-son relationship for so many years, brother and sister relationship, and now that she has climbed the high branches, she just wants to kick us far away." ”

The more Wen Ting spoke, the more excited she became, she pointed at Qin Chaojiu and asked loudly, "Qin Chaojiu, have you forgotten who raised you one bite at a time?" How can you treat your brother like this, look at how ruthless you are, beat your brother like this, do you still have the heart! You're an immature white-eyed wolf, my poor son! ”

Listening to Wen Ting's questioning, everyone in the room showed disdain and impatience.

Bai Wan rubbed her brows and said loudly: "Wen, don't cry, I will definitely give Cheng Gongzi justice." ”

Wen Ting immediately stopped crying, and instead wiped his tears silently.

"Qin Chaojiu, can you let me save some snacks, since you came back, you have been making trouble, what do you want to stop, do you have to make the Hou Mansion unpeaceful?!" Bai Wan asked Qin Chaojiu hoarsely.

Qin Chaojiu stood in place with her back straight, she slowly raised her eyes, and looked back at Bai Wan with neither humility nor arrogance: "Mother, the person who is making trouble at the moment is not me, and I have never thought of making the Hou Mansion unpeaceful." ”
