splendid heap

Chapter 168
As soon as Shi Tao walked around the screen, he saw his sister lifting a painting on the east wall. When he saw his sister like this, before he had time to be surprised, he quickly walked a few steps and held his sister's arm, saying: "Okay, you Stand aside and watch you jumping around like a little monkey, tell me, what are you going to do? My brother will help you."

After finishing speaking, Shi Tao looked at Huihui again with a funny face and said, "You don't look like you're here to get a bank note, but you seem to be picking up a painting and giving it away. Let me tell you, don't underestimate this painting." , This is also a masterpiece of a famous artist, but you can't give it away casually, not because my brother is reluctant, but because this painting was hung by my grandfather himself, it's a pity he didn't have a few days to look at it himself, but it's cheaper for you."

When Huihui heard this, she glanced at her elder brother, and said lightly, "Brother, it's true. Even if I don't know the origin of this painting, I know it must be extraordinary. How could I just send it out casually, just like you said?" It’s not because I’m reluctant, but because I’m a person who appreciates this painting? Giving something to the inappropriate person is like casting a bright pearl in the dark, and conversely, it’s not suitable for the other party, so it’s better to give gold and silver. "

Shi Tao looked at his younger sister's white eyes, smiled dotingly, nodded and said: "Yes! It's my brother who made a mistake. Who is my younger sister? How could she do something wrong? Alright, tell me what you're going to do?"

Huihui looked at her elder brother's pampering that could not be ignored, but she was too embarrassed to joke with her elder brother, so she hurriedly approached her elder brother and asked, "Brother, is there someone outside?"

Seeing that his sister suddenly became mysterious, Shi Tao hurriedly suppressed his smile, listened carefully, and found nothing abnormal, then nodded and said: "No one, tell me, what's the matter?"

Huihui heard that no one was there, so she lowered her voice and said, "There is a mechanism behind this painting, you push it in, and it will open." Looking at herself, she blushed unconsciously, and explained honestly: "I found this out of curiosity by accident, you know I always like to think wildly, this is really a perfect place for me to find , Brother, push it quickly! Don’t be stunned."

Shi Tao was really stunned by his baby sister's appearances, why did this sister always surprise him!But my sister's argument also makes sense, isn't she just like messing around all day long?After listening to my sister's urging, I put aside the weirdness in my heart, pushed the mechanism under my sister's guidance, and only heard a "creak", and the wall just now moved north with the painting. , startled Shi Tao who was unprepared.

Seeing her brother like this, Huihui couldn't help but feel amused, fearing that her brother would turn his face, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, holding back her laughter which made her little shoulders twitch.

Shi Tao was just stunned for a moment at the beginning, but now he saw his sister holding back a smile, and he settled down. He only coughed a few times in embarrassment when he saw his sister's smile, and followed the opened door. Walking in through the gap, in fact, he is no stranger to this wall. Although he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he has long known that some mansions have secret libraries with walls, but he didn't expect it to be in his sister's study. There is, but when I think about the previous owner of this house, I feel relieved.

Huihui saw that her brother was only stunned for a moment at the beginning, and then regained his composure, knowing that he was reminded of the previous owner of this house, she curled her lips unconsciously, expressing that it was no longer fun, seeing her brother go away on his own Going in, she hurriedly followed into the partition wall, and saw that her brother was looking curiously at the things that Mammy asked herself to send in later, and hurriedly explained: "The things here, except for a bookshelf and some ancient books and antiques, are original. The big boxes and small boxes are all my sister's own belongings and the mother's things that the nanny put away earlier."

Shi Tao frowned when he heard this, turned his head to look at his sister seriously, and asked, "Did you tell the nanny about the wall here? Who else knows?" He asked in a harsh tone. up.

When Huihui heard her brother's words, she knew that he was blaming herself for being reckless. After thinking about it, she didn't blame her brother for questioning.Then he explained with a guilty conscience: "At that time, I was just thinking about what to do with the things in my house if I went to my uncle's house one day? It was not because I was afraid of losing my belongings, but because I thought that if someone took it and ruined it, I would lose it. Or how about someone doing something nasty with these intimate things?"

After saying these words, Huihui paused, and peeked at her elder brother. Seeing that he was frowning deeply, she knew that she had considered the possibility of certain things happening, so she felt relieved, and then said: "So just in case One, I just mentioned this sandwich wall with Mammy, thinking of getting my important personal belongings here, brother, don’t worry, although Mammy knows that there is a sandwich wall in this house, she doesn’t know the specific opening method and location, It's not that my sister kept it, but Mammy didn't want to know, and she also asked me not to tell Xiangyu that my sister tried her best to move these things in by herself." After finishing speaking, she pouted coquettishly.

Seeing his younger sister like this, Shi Tao couldn't laugh or cry, and he couldn't bear to be reprimanded, but he couldn't do without saying it. He felt that his younger sister was locked up at home, she was stupid, and she didn't have any precautions against others. I'm so angry, otherwise it would be easy to see people, but such a younger sister is also contradictory, she always has unique insights on other things, but she will unnaturally relax her vigilance when she encounters family affection, alas, fortunately After what happened three years ago, my younger sister has finally changed, and she no longer thinks about making friends with other sisters.

Shi Tao thought of his younger sister's sufferings in the past, and couldn't bear to talk about her anymore, but there are still some things that need to be taught, so he still said with a straight face: "It's not that my brother insists on talking about you, so Li Nanny is a good one." That's right, I know how to obey the rules, if you meet someone who is self-respecting or has a big heart, how can you tell such an important thing?" After finishing speaking, seeing her sister wanting to interrupt, she sighed unconsciously, Stopped him and said: "Don't worry, I don't believe in Nanny Li, but I want to tell you that people's hearts can't stand the test, besides, even if Nanny is a person who can stand the test, it will bring her Come to trouble and worry, can you understand this?"

Huihui thought that her brother was making a fuss out of a molehill. After all, she chose to tell Nanny Li for consideration, but when her brother said that she might cause trouble for Mammy, she was taken aback, yes!It is always bad for anyone to know too many secrets, let alone with others, even with herself. Isn’t this the mother who was dissatisfied with her brother because she told her about the sandwich wall? Well, if one day someone catches Mammy and forces her to tell some secrets, will she say it or not?It's better not to know anything at all.

Thinking of this, Huihui broke into a cold sweat, and argued subconsciously: "I, I was just anxious to hide things. If it wasn't for these things, I would never have said anything about it. Brother, do you know that this folder I knew about the wall a long time ago. I was thinking of looking for an opportunity to tell my brother, but every time I went away, except I wanted to tell my brother, but I never thought of telling anyone. If it wasn’t for this time I'm going to my uncle's house, I won't say it out of proportion, at least I have to ask my brother." After speaking, she suddenly felt wronged, her eyes were red, and she looked very distressing.

Shi Tao really felt distressed, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the top of his sister's hair, feeling sore in his heart. For a moment, he thought that his brother and sister had lost their mother since childhood. Thanks to her own hard work, she felt more and more guilty.

For a moment Shi Tao regretted being too harsh just now, so his eyes were red, and he said slightly choked up: "Okay, okay, brother knows, it's all my brother's fault, I shouldn't go out when my aunt is here, it's all my brother's fault Wrong, sister, don't be wronged, in the future, if there are any problems in the future, brother will be more considerate for you." Shi Tao really said this sincerely.

Huihui was just a momentary gaffe, and now she was so comforted by her 15-year-old brother, she still blushed a little, after all, her actual mental age was older than her brother's, so she broke away from her brother's palm a little shyly , quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, looked up at his brother and said: "Okay, my sister is fine, brother don't feel guilty, my sister knows that my brother is doing it for my own good, I will pay attention to it in the future, there is nothing wrong with making decisions I will ask my brother about the matter, and it’s getting late, I will give the silver ticket to my brother first, and I will come to see the things here in the future."

Because Huihui felt awkward, she didn't pay attention to whether her brother agreed after she finished speaking, so she went to open the small money box she put on the shelf, and took a 100 tael silver note from it. She wanted to open another box to get a purse , but looking at the boxes that were randomly piled up by myself, I don't know where the purse is stored.

Huihui was a little afraid of trouble, so she directly took a pouch from her waist that she had just embroidered with dark green caterpillar fungus. This was the last time she wanted to embroider a new purse for her brother to try, although it was not a high-quality goods. It's not bad, it happens that the color and pattern are all right, and it's not too feminine to give Fang Yi a silver ticket.

Shi Tao didn't pay attention to his younger sister's actions at this moment, but looked at the things in the wall with a little bit of heart, and saw that some of them were mother's old box utensils, he still remembered this, when he thought of his mother, he remembered his mother Holding my hand and my sister's little hand together, I felt very guilty and blamed myself for not being able to protect my sister better, so when Huihui handed him the purse, I didn't look at it much. He put it in his pocket directly, causing him to take out the purse and give it to Fang Yi for a while, only to regret not dropping it.

Shi Tao knew that this purse was his younger sister's handiwork, and he delivered it by hand. Fang Yi and Commander Li were also trustworthy, so it was fine, but it was his younger sister who made the needlework by himself. Shi Tao always felt uncomfortable It can't be dispersed, but it's hard to say, after all, the things have already been given away, how can he tell people to return the purse, and it's not easy to teach his sister, after all, when the sister gave him the things, he was careless and didn't pay attention.
