Flowers are expensive

Chapter 561: A Few Children and a Play 3
"In addition to eating, I still eat, similar to pigs."

"Big brother, you are cursing! You are calling me a pig!" Xi Wei yelled, pointing at Cering.

"Go and sue!" Celing said and lowered his head to build his forest.As expected, Xi Wei shrunk down and went to find Yuan Yin and Xi Xi.Shuangxuan sat there blankly, staring at Cering intently. Cering looked up at her, threw the wooden block in his hand, and said with an indifferent expression: "In addition to suing, she still sued. A pig who will sue."

Shuangxuan covered her mouth and smiled: "You scold Princess An again."

"I didn't scold her, she admitted it herself."

"Then why do you raise tigers and lions?"

"play."

"Playing? They can eat people!"

"Tie a rope around their necks and they won't eat people."

"How to tie it?"

Celing paused for two seconds before saying, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Then can you tell me if you've made up your mind?"

"No."

"why?"

"secret."

"Oh……"

Outside the door, Xiwei was still pestering Wuye and Xin'er to complain to Xixi and Yuanyin, while in the study, Shuangxuan sat there obediently, watching Celing build his forest bit by bit.Shuangxuan was very happy, because Celing finally talked to her, and said something about the secret.Although I don't know what the secret is for the time being, at least Cering has said more than five sentences to himself!

That night, after discussing with Yuan Yin about Xi Wei's temper tantrum, he asked Wu Ye to bring in hot water.Wu Ye said while pouring water into the bath tub, "Ma'am, I feel that Shuangxuan seems to be afraid of the little prince."

Xixi stood behind the screen and untied her clothes and said, "It's not just Shuangxuan who is afraid of him, I'm afraid of him no matter how old I am! What's the matter today? Is he fierce to Shuangxuan?"

"That's not true, just ignore Shuangxuan."

"My mother doesn't care, let alone Shuangxuan."

"But Shuangxuan seems to be a little afraid of the little county king, and also wants to please the little county king."

"Sister Zhuang said it all. That girl has a delicate temper and a little timidity. Can she not be afraid of meeting the second generation of black-faced gods like Cering in our family? Sigh! I hope Ce Xiao can save me. Xi Wei calls That Prince You is too spoiled, you have to take good care of him!"

"Princess An is still young!"

"What's so small?" Xixi sat in the tub and turned the water, "It's over five years old, she can understand everything, but she's too self-willed. Plus the black-faced gods are so pampered. , I don’t know how many disasters I will cause in the future, I don’t want to teach a second generation of Pearl.”

"Speaking of which, Princess Mingzhu hasn't heard about her for a long time."

"Qi Wang's Mansion and You Wang's Mansion have sent people out to look for it. Who knows where she is hiding? It's not easy to find someone who wants to hide, just like Uncle Zuo. After searching for more than 30 years without any news, didn't he come out by himself? Wait If she figured it out, it would naturally appear."

The inner door was suddenly pushed open by Xi Wei.She ran up to Xixi, said with a mysterious face, "Mom, I'll tell you a big secret!"

"Is your father going to marry a new aunt?"

"No, it's the little brother who has a lot of money!"

Xixi was stunned for a moment, then leaned on the edge of the barrel and asked, "How do you know?"

Xi Wei hissed, and said to Xi Xi like a thief: "Mom, I saw it! I saw it from the window of my little brother's room!"

Xixi patted her on the head and said with a smile: "Okay, you have a great talent for being a spy! Zhao Xiwei, what are you doing lying on the window of your little brother's room?"

"I asked him to borrow money and he didn't lend it to me. It's better for Dad. Dad lent me 20 taels of silver... What a mess!" Xi Wei suddenly felt that she had slipped her tongue, covered her mouth and ran out in a hurry.

Xixi patted the tub and shouted out: "Zhao Xiwei, come back! Why do you want so much money? Twenty taels? When we have hundreds of dollars over there! Let a five-year-old child kick a few hundred dollars , Zhao Yuanyin, what on earth do you want to do? Zhao Xiwei, get the hell out of here!" A family meeting must be held.In the room, after counting the "main members", Xixi closed the door, turned around and asked with her hands on her hips, "Who will explain first?"

Yuan Yin on the couch looked down at the book, and Xi Wei, who was leaning against him, also lowered his head, twirling his pigtails; Ce Ling sat at the table, and Ce Xiao lay on his stomach, but no one said anything .

"Okay! Very good! Very good!" Xi Xi kept nodding her head and said, "You all pretend to be dumb, right? That's fine, Zhao Xiwei, explain it first! What did you borrow 20 taels of silver from your father for?"

Xi Wei lowered her head vigorously, as if turning into Xiao Xiaowei and disappearing.But her old lady had already wandered up to her, so she had no choice but to say in a low voice: "I bought... I bought something..."

"What did you buy? Where did you buy it?" Xixi bent down and asked.

"forget……"

"Forgot? I forgot everything I bought for 20 taels of silver? Zhao Xiwei, is it easy for me to get rid of your mother? Do you know that clear saying? Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist, do you understand?"

Xi Wei turned to look at Yuan Yin with eyes asking for help, Yuan Yin raised his head and said, "Be good, Wei'er, confess to your mother, otherwise she won't stop tonight."

"Zhao Yuanyin, what's your attitude? You are the culprit! Don't you ask her what a little girl is doing with 20 taels of silver?" Xixi said angrily.

Yuan Yin looked at Xi Wei with eyes that were more innocent than Xi Wei, and said helplessly, "Did you see? Even my father dare not speak anymore! Be good, tell your mother, what did you buy for 20 taels of silver? Remember Is it the same?"

Xi Wei pouted and stretched out a little finger.Yuan Yin asked: "What do you mean? I only bought one thing?" Xi Wei nodded and said, "Yes!" Xi Xi took the words and asked, "What did you buy for 20 taels?" Xi Wei glanced timidly at Xi Xi With a glance, he said, "Dagger...dagger...dagger..."

"What? A dagger?" Both Xixi and Yuan Yin were taken aback.What did Xiwei buy the dagger for?Assassination?Xixi hurriedly asked: "Why are you buying a dagger, Zhao Xiwei? To be honest, mother won't scold you."

Xi Weiwo said softly in Yuan Yin's arms: "Give it to that brother."

"Brother what?" Yuan Yin lowered his head and asked.

"It's the brother next door."

"Which next door?"

"It's next door to Sizheng Hall."

Sizheng Hall is a school opened by Zuo Xi.In addition to the children from Prince You's Mansion, there were Qiuqian, Manxiang's son Fengde, and the children of several other generals in the school.Because there is a secluded courtyard in the west of the palace, Zuo Xi likes it very much, so he opened the Sizheng Hall there.Xixi thought about it carefully and said: "Isn't the back alley next to Sizheng Hall? All the family members of the palace's servants live in the back alley. Princess An, which brother did you give?"

"do not know."

"Don't you know his name?"

Xi slightly shook his head.Xixi asked again: "Then do you know which house in the back alley he lives in?" Xiwei still shook his head.Xixi was puzzled, sat down and asked again: "Then how do you know this brother?"

"In that small hole," Xi Wei said, making a circle with his fingers, "brother is talking on the other side of the hole."

"Oh, you talk to that brother through the hole in the wall, right?"

"Yes..." Xi Wei said childishly.

"Then what does he need a dagger for?"

"I don't know," Xi Wei shook his head as usual, "Brother is so pitiful. He was beaten and he still didn't give him food. Swing and I gave him all the afternoon tea, and we also took medicine from the master. he."

"You went to your master to get medicine for him? Does your master know?"

Xi Wei suddenly lowered her head and stopped talking.Obviously, when Xi Wei went to the medicine house to get the medicine, she didn't tell her master Zhao Xun or his wife Qiao Yuan.Xixi raised Xiwei's small chin and asked: "Master An, it's wrong to do this, you know? Even if you are the princess, it's the same, you know?"

"En!" Xi Wei nodded.

"Don't do that again next time, okay?"

"it is good."

"Then tell mother, what medicine did you give that brother?"

"Bao Xin Dan."

Xixi Chong Yuanyin chuckled dryly and said, "What a smart guy! I don't take anything, I just took Baoxin Pill, which is specially prepared for spies to save their lives. Zhao Xun and Qiao Yuan didn't find out ?"

Yuan Yin frowned slightly, pointed at Xi Wei's fleshy face and asked, "Wei'er, does that elder brother live next door to Sizheng Hall?"

"Ok!"

"Which yard is next door?"

"The yard where sweet-scented osmanthus flowers bloom."

"Oh," Yuan Yin nodded, looked at Xi Xi and said, "That's the back alley you mentioned. Go and ask tomorrow, which family's children are there?"

"No, no!" Xi Wei hurriedly waved his hands and said to Yuan Yin, "Daddy can't go find him, or brother will be beaten more!"

"why?"

"That brother doesn't allow me to tell others, otherwise he will be beaten a lot! Daddy, don't go to see brother, okay? He is so pitiful!" Xi Weiwei said anxiously.

"Master An," Xixi patted Xiwei's small head and smiled, "Don't be afraid, who is your father? After you find that brother, your father will rescue him, so that he won't be beaten again, you Are you okay?"

"Okay! Okay!" Xi Wei said happily, clapping her little hands, "Daddy, go and save my brother! Save my brother!"

Yuan Yin nodded and smiled, "Okay, Dad will send someone to rescue brother tomorrow."

"Okay," Xi Xi turned to look at Ce Xiao and said, "Xi Wei made it clear, Prince Xiao, shouldn't you also make a confession? Where did you get all your odds and ends?"

It turned out that Xixi just found a box of broken silver under Ce Xiao, although it was all scattered silver, but after careful calculation, it was as small as 100 taels.Xixi has always been very strict with the children's expenses, and it is not easy to give more during the holidays, so she wondered, where did Ce Xiao get so much money?
Xi Wei jumped up, pointed at Ce Xiao with his hips on his hips and shouted, "Confess! Brother, confess! Hurry up!"

Ce Xiao, who had been dozing off on his stomach, woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes and looked at Xixi, and said, "I didn't steal..."

"Where did that come from?"

"Saved."

"How did you save it? I remember that all your lucky money is stored with me. Where did you save it?" Xixi asked.

Ce Xiao yawned, propped his chin and said with blurred eyes: "I made money by writing copybooks for Linghu and the others... and I sold those wooden things that my father didn't want... to the people in the school... It was given by my uncle, my aunt, and my sister Que Ling...that's how I saved it."

Xixi and Yuan Yin looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.Xixi Countermeasure Xiao said: "Okay, Zhao Cexiao! You can make money at such a young age, you have your mother's natural genetics!"

Ce Xiao didn't take it seriously, and lazily leaned back on the table again, as if dozing off again.But Xixi said in a self-indulgent way: "You are indeed my son! You really have the talent to be a businessman! Well, from now on, just follow your mother!"

"No." Yuan Yin denied it.
