Resourceful beauty

Chapter 20 Qiu Ming
While drinking tea and talking, the ladies in the Peony Hall were all fidgeting. From time to time, someone stood up and went to the window to look out.

After all, on weekdays, people don't go out of the gate. It's rare that one day they can go out of the house. How can they just sit in this teahouse and waste time?
The sound of firecrackers sounded outside, and after a while, colorful fireworks exploded in front of everyone's eyes, making it more and more itchy.

I don't know who suggested it, Qiu Shumin and Fang Ruyu agreed, the door of the private room opened, and the ladies in the room went out one by one, and went downstairs one after another.

As soon as he left Huixian Tower, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing at the gate of Huixian Tower with a bright smile.

The young man was dressed in a sapphire blue brocade robe and a gray fox fur over his head. His eyes were bright and his smile was warm. It was easy to feel good at a glance.

This boy is Qiu Ming, the son of Prime Minister Qiu Zongde.

Qiu Zongde had many concubines, and his wife Sun gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Qiu Ran, the second son Qiu Ming, and the daughter Qiu Shumin.

Qiu Ran is 29 years old this year, and he has taken the position of forward. Needless to say, in the Qiu residence, Qiu Ran can be said to be the best among young talents in the capital.

As for Qiu Ming, Mrs. Qiu was a little worried.

In the year she was pregnant with Qiu Ming, Mrs. Qiu was seriously ill. Even though she took the decoction carefully, it still hurt the fetus. She was pregnant in October. She is very well-behaved and rarely makes any noise except eating and sleeping.

Worried that his son was stupid, Qiu Zongde named the child Qiu Ming, hoping that he would be smarter when he grows up.

After one year old, Qiu Ming would also open his mouth to call his mother, and after two years old, he would laugh and play with his brothers and sisters, but the older he got, the more he was different from others.

Even though he is 15 years old now, Qiu Ming's intelligence is always like that of a three- to five-year-old child.

Standing by the stairs from a distance, looking at Qiu Ming who was smiling brightly at the crowd, Fang Ruxuan's heart felt a little vague.

When entering Wutong Garden, Fang Ruxuan was at her current age, and her stature was also shorter than Qiu Ming's, but with just one glance, Qiu Ming kept pestering Fang Ruxuan, only saying that she belonged to him.

In the five years in Wutong Garden, Fang Ruxuan couldn't understand what kind of temperament Qiu Ming was. Whenever there was a prettier maid in Wutong Garden, Qiu Ming would drool, pull that person's sleeve and call her "beautiful sister". She is shorter than him, no matter how big or small, she is called "beautiful sister".

After that, Qiu Ming kept calling her "beautiful younger sister", and when he knew Fang Ruxuan's name was Ruyi, Qiu Ming called her "Ruyi younger sister", always treating her differently from other maids.

In those few years, thinking about her father and brother in her heart, and being physically tortured and abused by those women and maids or Qiu Shumin, Fang Ruxuan lived in unspeakable misery.

But Qiu Ming, thinking back at this moment, Fang Ruxuan always had that silly smile in front of her.

When Qiu Ming was around, Fang Ruxuan didn't have to do anything. Qiu Ming would pull her sleeves and ask her to eat with him, put him to bed, and paint together.

Seeing the mother-in-law or the maid who had a bad attitude towards Fang Ruxuan, Qiu Ming would angrily point at their noses and scold, then turn his head and coax Fang Ruxuan softly.

Once seeing Qiu Shumin asking his mother-in-law to punish Fang Ruxuan, Qiu Ming cried in front of his mother, Mrs. Qiu, and ignored Qiu Shumin for three days afterwards.

Qiu Ming and Tao Ye were the only warmth that Fang Ruxuan could think of during those five years.

However, Qiu Ming is Qiu Zongde's son and Qiu Shumin's elder brother.

Looking at Qiu Ming who was grinning at the door, Fang Ruxuan's heart felt a little turbulent.

She knew that at this moment, the gazes of the ladies around her would be on her who had disputes with Qiu Ming.

Fang Ruxuan regretted reliving her life again.

Qiu Ming was so stupid that he couldn't tell right from wrong at all. When he met him on the street that year, he just thought he was good-looking, so he stepped forward and called him "beautiful sister".

At that moment, I just don't care about him, why do I have to argue with him angrily?
Recalling the events of that year, Fang Ruxuan suddenly heard a word.

"Sixth Younger Sister, I can't tell what men and women are giving and receiving. That son of the Qiu Mansion is just stupid, and there are servants who follow him around him for a moment. If he dares to pull my sister's sleeve like this in public, someone must be instigating him."

At that moment, Fang Ruyu, Fang Ruhui and Fang Ruhua stood beside me.

Who said this sentence?And why did he deliberately provoke himself to conflict with Qiu Ming?
Looking past Fang Ruyu and the other three, Fang Ruxuan walked down the stairs slowly and followed behind Fang Ruhua.

"Min'er..."

Outside the gate, Qiu Ming smiled innocently and waved to Qiu Shumin, "Come on, I'll take you to see the lantern."

With such a stupid brother, Qiu Shumin obviously felt a little ashamed.

Glancing at Qiu Ming angrily, Qiu Shumin looked back at the young servant behind Qiu Ming and scolded: "Since serving the Ninth Young Master, you should be more careful. Why did you bring him here? He wants to see the lanterns, so hurry up and take him there." ah……"

The little servant had a mournful face and didn't know how to refute. Qiu Ming had already pouted and said aggrievedly: "Mother said, I am the elder brother and you are the younger sister, and the elder brother has to protect the younger sister. If you lose so many people, Mother will be sad, I want to protect you..."

If a child said such a thing, it would definitely make people feel heartwarming.

But the words from the tall young man's mouth were a bit funny, Qiu Shumin had already heard it, and someone behind him giggled in a low voice.

"Why don't you take him to see the lantern?"

The gentleness and generosity in front of people was shattered in an instant, and Qiu Shumin yelled at the servant behind Qiu Ming a little angrily.

Qiu Ming was even more aggrieved, and crystal tears were already shining in Xingliang's eyes.

"No, I'm not going anywhere, I want to protect you..."

Qiu Ming stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Shumin's sleeve.

In this situation, Fang Ruyu felt that the opportunity was rare.

Pursing her lips and smiling, Fang Ruyu stepped forward and whispered something in Qiu Shumin's ear.

Due to the distance and the noise outside, Fang Ruxuan didn't hear what she said, but the next moment, Fang Ruxuan saw Qiu Shumin smiling happily and whispering something in Qiu Ming's ear.

Looking through the crowd, Qiu Ming quickly saw Fang Ruxuan standing behind Fang Ruhua.

"Pretty sister..."

Qiu Ming shouted happily.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan was stunned and silent, Qiu Ming thought she hadn't seen him, and happily stepped forward to pull Fang Ruxuan's sleeve, but Su Ye stepped in front of him.

"Pretty sister, don't you remember me?"

Looking over from Su Ye, Qiu Ming looked at Fang Ruxuan with a smile and said, "That year, you scolded me in front of the Wushuang Pavilion, don't you remember?"

Although it was in a complaining tone, Qiu Ming had a complacent expression on his face, as if to say: Look, how good my memory is, I still remember you, praise me quickly.

In the previous life, whenever Qiu Ming did something right, Mrs. Qiu and the maidservants in Wutong Garden would praise him. Over time, asking for praise became Qiu Ming's greatest joy.

Holding her breath and looking at the young man with a warm smile in front of her, Fang Ruxuan was speechless.

According to the previous assumption, she should stay far away, or criticize Qiu Ming in a rude manner, but at this moment, facing him and looking at his clear eyes, Fang Ruxuan felt that she couldn't do it. .

She could even imagine that if she did that, Qiu Ming would hang his head and turn away. For a long time, he would not be happy again, nor would he bend his eyes and smile at others.

Qiu Ming, who is already 15 years old, is actually just a child, a child who needs the care of those around him.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and everyone including Qiu Ming and Qiu Shumin looked at Fang Ruxuan eagerly, waiting to see how she would respond.

Today's Prince Qi's Mansion cannot afford to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui's eyes were full of gloating, while Du Mingzhu and the others looked excited about watching a good show.

Fang Ruxuan took a deep breath, turned a blind eye to Qiu Ming's earnest gaze, looked back at Qiu Shumin and said, "Since he is Miss Qiu's elder brother, Miss Qiu should take good care of him."

After finishing speaking, Fang Ruxuan squeezed Su Ye out of the crowd with Su Ye, and went forward.

Qiu Shumin was a little bit reconciled to being taken over by Fang Ruxuan's words like this.

Thinking of Ruxuan's ambiguous words in front of her for a moment, and then looking back at Fang Ruyu, Fang Ruhui, Fang Ruhua, and Fang Ruxuan, all of whom are beautiful, Qiu Shumin suddenly became enlightened: with the appearance of an elder brother, it seems impossible to ask a decent lady to be a wife and concubine. Now, but since my father said harshly that he wanted to hire the young lady of Prince Qi's mansion, who among them is it, and what does it matter?

If I can facilitate my elder brother's marriage, my grandparents, parents, and parents will all be very happy, right?

Thinking like this, Qiu Shumin smiled softly, turned her head and said to Qiu Ming tenderly: "Brother, then you can come with us."

Qiu Ming had a pleasantly surprised smile on his face, and Qiu Shumin turned around proudly and left.

As soon as the crowd started to move, they were divided into several groups according to their past intimacy. Fang Ruxuan was naturally alone, with only Su Ye by her side.

Qiu Ming came over happily.

"Beautiful sister, do you really not remember me?"

Qiu Ming asked still unwillingly.

"I remember."

Nodding affirmatively, Fang Ruxuan showed Qiu Ming a kind smile.

This kind of affirmation is tantamount to a disguised form of praise, Qiu Ming is even happier, if he hadn't kept his mother's words in mind, and the joke that he can't dance outside, Qiu Ming would be jumping up and down immediately.

"Young Master Qiu, since your mother told you to protect my sister, if you walk by my side, won't she be protected by no one?"

Fang Ruxuan thought of ways to induce Qiu Mingdao.

"Yes..."

Responding to Fang Ruxuan's words, Qiu Ming stretched his neck and looked at Qiu Shumin. Seeing that she was far away from him, Qiu Ming muttered unhappily, "But, I want to be with my beautiful sister."

Fang Ruxuan smiled and pointed to Qiu Shumin's side, "There are many beautiful sisters around your sister. If you stand beside your sister, you will be able to be with many beautiful sisters."

In the night, whether Fang Ruyu, the three sisters, or Du Mingzhu, they all smiled like flowers, and they were even more beautiful than before.

Qiu Ming nodded, and ran forward excitedly.
