Chapter 89 Brother and Sister
Shi Tao also knew what Nanny Li meant. Normally, he would not have agreed. After all, he could go to his sister's study if he wanted to talk. He trusted Nanny and Xiangyu very much. It was also a good idea to say something in front of them. Yes, but what he wants to say today is very important, it is better not to be on guard against Mammy and the others, but because there are some things they don't know, so he didn't refuse, just smiled and said: "Alright, then please trouble Mammy." Mama, but it's best for Xiangyu to cover up, so that people don't have to talk about it."

Seeing what the young master said, Nanny Li knew what he was worried about, and said, "There is a nanny, when we go out, I will let Xiangyu lean against the door, and I will cover her in front of her, so that others will not be able to see it. Alright, let's go out, you and the young lady have a good talk, these days the young lady is very troubled, she looks thinner." After finishing speaking, she didn't look at Huihui's disapproving eyes, but pulled the incense Taro left immediately.

Seeing Mammy and Xiangyu leaving so simply and directly, the two brothers and sisters lamented how good Mammy and Xiangyu were, and smiled knowingly at each other. No matter how much they kissed Mammy and Xiangyu, they couldn’t kiss each other. For Mammy and Xiangtao to know, it will increase their burden, so for Mammy and the others' sake, it's better not to let them know too much.

Time was running short, and after Shi Tao tasted a few pieces of cake, he started talking to his sister, but it was nothing important. He took a sip of tea, put down his cup slowly, and asked after thinking for a while, "Sister?" You can tell brother, why are you bothered? Brother can tell you a little bit if you tell me." After all, he is a man, and it is really difficult for him to ask some questions in the boudoir, although he knows that his sister is probably worried about his aunt coming to the house to find About his daughter-in-law, but he can only ask in a transitional way first.

When Huihui heard this, she knew that her brother was worried about herself, but he was too embarrassed to ask, so she asked herself in such an awkward way. It was funny and at the same time, she also felt her brother's heart to protect her, so she smiled and said "It's not that I'm thin, it's because Mammy is exaggerating. Brother, don't worry. I've seen my brother go out for less than a month, but he has lost a lot of weight. It can be seen that my brother is not doing well when he is at home. Brother, I will give you the Miao'er added monthly money, you know?" After speaking, he smiled at his brother funny.

Seeing his younger sister being so lovable, Shi Tao couldn't blame her for taking control of his own yard, so he smiled and said, "You little witty ghost, my elder brother won't blame my younger sister's intentions, but some things are not what my younger sister thinks. , although I let those individuals go, but I have my own opinion, so don't worry, this Miaoer and Qinglin are loyal, and they won't talk too much, it's okay for you to do this, and it will save me a lot of trouble. "

After finishing speaking, Shi Tao thought for a while, fearing that his sister would not act well, and would be criticized by others in the future, so he still gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, don't worry about the affairs of brother's house in the future, alas! Sister, don't worry about this. It's not that my brother doesn't want my sister to help manage the yard, but it's that girls don't like meddling in my brother's house, so I don't have to let others know about it." After speaking, I was afraid that Huihui would be suspicious, and looked at her nervously, afraid that I saw grievance and sadness in my sister's eyes.

How could Huihui get angry with her brother, besides, she naturally understands that the younger sister who has not left the court is really not good at interfering with the affairs of the elder brother's house, and the mother also mentioned something to herself, but fortunately she did not go out of her way to meddle in the affairs of the elder brother's house , I only told Miao Er quietly, knowing that Miao Er was trustworthy, I said it myself, otherwise I didn’t dare, so I smiled and said: “Brother, don’t worry, if the younger sister can’t feel the brother’s heart, then what kind of person is the younger sister?” I don't deserve to be my brother's sister, I understand, my brother is doing it for my own good, and I'm afraid that I will be talked about in the future, after all, we lost our mother and lost our teaching."

As for the stepwife and the old lady Huihui, they simply don’t exist. Although she has no mother and is not raised by her grandmother, the one who is responsible for teaching her is the stepwife who is behind. Basically, she has never done any filial piety in front of her stepmother or received any teachings, so naturally these two cannot be involved, so for the sake of her brother, she will not and dare not let her behavior make any mistakes, and she still wants her brother to marry her. She is a first-class good sister-in-law, but she dare not hurt her brother because of herself.

Shi Tao saw his younger sister's expression was soothed, and what she said was reasonable, he became more and more determined to have a good talk with her, and felt her understanding, so he smiled and said, "Good sister, it's my brother's fault, isn't it? I shouldn't have asked such a question, who is my own sister, how can I have any doubts, my brother should be beaten, as an apology, if my sister wants to tell my brother directly, my brother will definitely find a way to give it to my sister I found it, doesn’t my younger sister like calligraphy and painting manuscripts? Huang Gongwang’s "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" can’t be mentioned by my younger sister, even my elder brother didn’t expect to see it, so let me tell you something else?” After finishing speaking, he made a deliberate exaggeration A mouth full of regret.

Huihui was really happy when the elder brother was like this, she smiled and said: "It's true, elder brother, it's because our family started with military exploits, and grandfather and father didn't care much about these things, so they confiscated Luo. It's just like what elder brother said. It’s so miserable, if you were asked to produce the rare book "The Grand Duke’s Art of War", it would probably be very simple, can a literati have it?"

Shi Tao is used to knowing that his sister is eloquent, so he didn't argue with her too much, he just said seriously: "This is true, but sister, don't let others know, otherwise brother will not be able to keep this. By the way, Liu Gongquan's "Meng Zhao Post" "My brother can borrow it for you."

Huihui knew that her elder brother was joking with her, and seeing that time was running short, her elder brother simply washed up after calling, and then went to greet the old lady, let alone refreshments, and probably didn't sit down for a while, so she rushed again When I got here, I must be very tired, and I couldn't bear to waste time with him anymore, so I said obediently: "Alright, although I learned Mrs. Wei's hairpin lower script, I also like Liu style very much, let's take a look at it." The time really couldn't be better, brother don't forget about this tomorrow."

Seeing that his younger sister liked it, Shi Tao was very happy. He thought about going to Duke Ying's mansion another day and asking Renxuan to find it for him. He would be favored even at home, so he nodded his head and promised: "Okay, brother, remember, I will take care of your matter as soon as tomorrow, and my sister will wait."

Huihui let go after hearing this, and urged her brother to say, "Brother is here to discuss calligraphy and painting with my sister today? I have nothing to say, but my sister will send Xiangya to buy the robe that I made for my brother in the past few days." Bring it here, at least let my brother try it and see if it fits." After speaking, he was about to get up and call someone.

As soon as Shi Tao saw her, he knew that his younger sister was irritating him, this ghost girl!Then he looked at his younger sister amusedly, pulled her back cooperatively, and said with a smile: "Okay, sit down quickly, brother has something to tell you."

Huihui was just playing around with her brother. Seeing her brother's posture, she knew that he really planned to confess to her today, but it was a matter of paying too much and not enough, so she became interested. , but I can always feel that many things are not right, and I can't ask Mammy deeply. Asked, the one who was in trouble could only be Mammy, so I didn't get to the bottom of it.

It's all right now, Huihui narrowed her eyes with a smile, her brother took the initiative to mention it today, she was a little surprised, she couldn't help jokingly said: "What's wrong with my brother today, did you hide something from my sister in the past? This is not okay, Brother also knows that the closest people in this world are you and me. Father, although father is also close, but he still has his fourth sister and fourth brother. No matter what, father will not abandon them. What's the matter, does father take care of them or us? It's hard to say, so don't hide anything from me, brother, okay?" This was indeed what she had in mind.

This is of course the truth, my father is not a heartless person, otherwise he would not have remembered his mother for so many years, and when the "Hu pattern" happened at that time, the grandfather was implicated, and the mother was also a little implicated, everyone avoided Far away, his father was under the pressure of his grandmother and insisted on keeping his mother. This kind of deep friendship is not something ordinary men can have. After all, it is related to the fate of the Manchu people. At that time, no one knew how much the emperor planned to involve. How deep and wide?

Shi Tao thought about his thoughts, glanced at his clever younger sister, and sighed that this little girl had obviously guessed a lot of things that were wrong, but she still pretended to be confused and waited for him to recruit her. He smiled dotingly and said cheerfully: "You! Just now I thought you were stable and knew that you were planning for me and my brother, so I wanted to tell you something. Who knows that you are still a child, but mother and father said that if you I have always been unwilling to grow up, and my brother has always protected you, not letting you know what is bothering you. If you notice something wrong, there will be a day when I will tell you, you say, have you grown up or not? ?" This question was already a bit serious, and he didn't want his sister to worry about it in his heart.

How did Huihui think that her elder brother who always doted on him and was easy to talk would actually turn her into an army today, so she couldn't help laughing, but she didn't want to evade anymore, knowing the true meaning of her brother's question, she said directly: " Well, I did know some clues from some of Mammy's words. Now I want to take care of the things around me, and it's also because I know that Uncle Erbing has returned a long time ago, so I am suspicious of many things. Although I have doubted it before, but at that time people were fooling around and passing by." Before he finished speaking, he laughed embarrassedly.

Shi Tao listened to his younger sister confessing his past mistakes, and he felt that his younger sister was as imposing as a woman from Jiangmen's House, but he also felt distressed. How could my younger sister be so stupid? I'm afraid she was too kind-hearted, always referring to those so-called My relatives treat me like a good person, so I don't want to think about it, now after the disaster three years ago, plus the cold treatment and persecution these days, how can my sister not understand when she is so smart?This is probably the case with human relationships, but although he loves his sister, it is good to let her recognize the truth earlier.
