pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 49

Zhan Huaichun was approaching fiercely, Xiao Ren knew that the matter had been revealed, so he hugged his sister in a panic.With his younger sister in hand, even if Zhan Huaichun wanted to beat him, he had to be cautious.

Xiao Cancan is five years old this year. She has big black grape-like eyes and is wearing a pink skirt, which is very rare.The little girl is also smart, knowing that her elder brother has offended the second brother again, she sweetly stretched out her hand to Zhan Huaichun: "Second brother hugs me, the lychees that second brother gave are delicious, second brother is so kind!"

There is no child in the family, Zhan Huaichun doesn't like children very much, but he has a good relationship with Xiao Ren, and Xiao Cancan is very likable, so he reached out and picked up the little girl, put it on the ground and said: "Second brother's lychee is delicious, how about it?" Cancan, do you have anything delicious to give to the second brother? Go and get some for me, the second brother is hungry now."

Xiao Cancan didn't understand the "tune the tiger away from the mountain" in these words, and happily ran outside to get Zhan Huaichun something delicious.She ran away, and her little white dog immediately chased after her, and Pidianpidian followed her.Xiao Ren secretly thought it was bad, and wanted to call his sister back, but Zhan Huaichun directly blocked him.

"If you have something to say, don't do it!" Xiao Ren stepped back again and again, pleading for himself, "I didn't mention the book on purpose that day, but I asked her if she had read it because she was rummaging in the study. Remedy in time, who would have expected her to see it, I found such an excuse because I was afraid of embarrassment. Don't do anything, I will atone for my crime, let me tell you, if I hadn't met me, those two little maids in your family would have been congratulated Six is ​​being bullied!" He described the situation that day.

Rescuing her maid, but slandering him, was obviously not worth the effort, so Zhan Huaichun beat Xiao Ren up.When Xiao Cancan led the maid back, the two of them were already sitting under the locust tree, talking and laughing.Zhan Huaichun is really smiling, Xiao Ren is forced to smile, he can't let his sister know that he was beaten?What a shame!
Xiao Cancan came over with a watermelon, and then obediently sat between the two of them to eat.She was still young, and her hands were covered with juice when she ate watermelon. Xiao Ren endured the pain in his back and thoughtfully wiped his sister's hands.Xiao Cancan is used to this kindness, and he concentrates on talking to Zhan Huaichun, whom he hasn't seen much recently, "Second brother, can I go to your house to play tomorrow?"

Although the magistrate of Xiao County is the parent official of the county, the place where he lives is behind the county government. It is completely incomparable.Xiao Cancan has been to Zhan's house several times, and he really likes the big garden and lake boats there.

Looking at this cute little girl, Zhan Huaichun thought of his child-tempered maid, so he smiled and patted her head: "Okay, take Qiuqiu too." Qiuqiu is the name of Xiao's poodle, Snow-white all over, quick-witted and lively, Ah Yu will definitely like it when he sees it.

Xiao Cancan was very happy, and after discussing with the master's family, she turned around and begged her brother to take her there tomorrow.Xiao Ren deliberately asked Zhan Huaichun if he would be free tomorrow, with a cynical and sarcastic tone.Now Second Young Master Zhan is a very busy person, and he doesn't even bother to be with such idlers as him.

Zhan Huaichun just lowered his head and talked to Xiao Cancan, ignoring Xiao Ren's nonsense, if he was not at home, what did he ask Xiao Cancan to do?
It was almost dusk at this time, the two big and one small sat for a while, before dinner Zhan Huaichun said goodbye and went back to his home.

When washing feet before going to bed, Zhan Huaichun casually mentioned this matter, "Master Xiao will bring his sister over to play tomorrow, will you coax the children?"

Staying in the yard all day, it is rare to have something new, Ayu is very happy to hear that a guest is coming: "I haven't coaxed, but I will take good care of Miss Xiao."

"What Miss Xiao, you can call her Cancan when you come tomorrow. You are just a maid in name, and you don't have to be so respectful to other people except serving me." Listen to her saying serving others.Zhan Huaichun felt harsh.

A Yu didn't answer, her mind was already on how to entertain the guests tomorrow, Xiao Ren was accompanied by Zhan Huaichun, she just took care of the children.

After washing her feet before she knew it, she picked up the basin and was about to leave.

"Ayu, haven't you called me yet?" Zhan Huaichun dragged his clogs and walked quickly a few steps, blew on the lamp, and reminded in a low voice in the dark.

A Yu paused, looked at the dim light coming in from outside the door, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Second brother, go to sleep."

Satisfied, Zhan Huaichun went back to bed to rest.

A Yu quietly listened to the movement behind her, and continued to go out after Zhan Huaichun lay down. When she went out, she couldn't help laughing, thinking that Zhan Huaichun was a bit like a child.

The next day Zhan Huaichun didn't have to go out, so it was rare for him to sleep late, and he also had breakfast at his side, with Ah Yu.

Not long after the meal, the Xiao brothers and sisters came, and Zhan Huaichun was going to pick up people outside, so he called Ayu along.

A Yu followed behind him, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the main entrance, she suddenly became a little nervous.Since Xiao Ren sent her back last time, she hasn't seen him for more than half a month. During the day, she didn't deliberately recall the scene on the road when she read a book, and she didn't have any absurd dreams at night. How come she wants to see him now? But inexplicably flustered?

Get out even if you panic.

After leaving the main gate, the Xiao family's carriage just happened to stop firmly in front of the gate.The coachman opened the door curtain, Xiao Ren jumped down first, then turned around and reached out to pick up his sister.

A Yu didn't want to look at it, but couldn't help but look at it.Xiao Ren is wearing a lilac-colored robe today, looking only at his back, he is dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and a tall and tall figure.A Yu watched the man lift a little girl up easily. He put her on the ground, stroked her head, then raised his head and looked this way, his eyes quickly fell on her.

Before she lowered her head, Ah Yu saw him smiling, it was a familiar bright smile, like the soft and warm light shining through the window in winter, it made her heart beat unsteadily, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes in panic.It's really strange, even though she thinks he's very bad, she can't hate him when she sees him smiling like this.

"Second brother, who is she? Why is she wearing something like that on her head?" Xiao Cancan followed Xiao Ren to this direction, and soon noticed A Yu.The little girl also loves beauty, so she couldn't help looking up at Ayu. She thought this maid sister was very good-looking, and the headscarf she was wearing was also fresh and delicate.

She was short, and A Yu could see her with her head down. Seeing that the little girl was pretty and cute, with big eyes staring at him curiously, she couldn't help but smile at her.

Xiao Cancan also laughed immediately, and after hearing Zhan Huaichun's introduction of A Yu's name, he sweetly called her "Sister Yu".

Zhan Zhihan was not at home, so they went directly to Evergreen Garden, sat for a while, and then went to the lake to cool off.

There were lush trees overhead, and grass on the ground, covered with blue sackcloth for them to sit on.There is a cool breeze blowing by the lake, and there are melons and fruits on the low table in front of you to quench your thirst. You can be as comfortable as you want.

Zhan Huaichun was sitting with Xiao Ren, watching Ayu playing with Xiao Cancan's dog over there.

"Sister Yu, Qiuqiu is a poodle, does it look like a lion cub?" Xiao Cancan hugged Qiuqiu and asked Ah Yu to pet it.

Where has Ah Yu seen a lion before? She just thinks this dog is very cute.It has a small body, long hair, and big watery eyes that move around nimbly. She stretched out her hand to touch it, and the little white dog immediately leaned over and licked her hand passionately with its pinkish tongue, tickling it.

Ayu couldn't help laughing, but she was reluctant to hold back her hands, so she licked it and stroked its head to ease itching, listened carefully to Xiao Cancan's compliments on this dog, echoed a few words when she heard something funny, you said something to me, it was a bit new to make friends The smell of her little sister, no one was in the mood to pay attention to the two men not far away, so they didn't notice that they were all looking at this side.

In the morning, a few people enjoyed the coolness under the tree, and went to the boat for dinner at noon.

A Yu also sat down at the square table, with Zhan Huaichun on the left, Xiao Cancan on the right, and Xiao Ren on the opposite.

She didn't dare to look at the person across from her, but couldn't help but look at her, especially when Xiao Cancan acted like a baby to Xiao Ren, Xiao Ren would always look at her helplessly and dotingly, and personally pick up vegetables to feed his sister.A Yu saw it, and a special feeling gradually surged in her heart, she was envious, envious that Xiao Cancan had such a brother who was good to her, so she felt that Xiao Ren was more gentle, and then there seemed to be something else, but A Yu said Not sure.

"Why don't you eat?" Zhan Huaichun gradually realized that something was wrong with her, kicked her lightly, and asked her in a low voice when A Yu regained consciousness.

"Eat." After being knocked out of the peek, Ayu's face became hot, and he prevaricated casually, and quickly bowed his head obediently to eat.

There was something wrong with her, Zhan Huaichun continued to pay attention to her, and found that Ayu liked to stare at Xiao Ren to pick up food for Xiao Cancan, and gradually understood.She must see that Xiao Ren treats his sister well, and thinks he is not good enough as the second brother, right?
But, in front of these people, it's inconvenient for him to bring food for her, let's go, he will bring food for her in the evening.But she is really stupid, what is there to envy, it's not that he didn't pick up vegetables for her, and even peeled lychees for her by himself.

This time the boat was bigger than last time, with two canopies.Zhan Huaichun wants to take a nap after dinner, so he asks Ayu to wait on him, but Xiao Cancan doesn't want to sleep with Xiao Ren, and insists on letting Ayu accompany him, and she gets anxious when Ayu leaves.

"Then Ayu, help me put her to sleep first, and then go over there to serve your young master later." Sitting on a chair, Xiao Ren suggested casually.

Let her share the same boat with him?

Zhan Huaichun automatically ignored the child, and immediately said to him: "Let Ayu coax Cancan, I can't sleep, come and play a game with me."

Xiao Ren was slightly startled, stopped the folding fan in his hand, and looked at Zhan Huaichun.

"Come here quickly." Zhan Huaichun turned around and went to another boat tent.

Xiao Ren immediately looked at A Yu, recalling Zhan Huaichun's attitude towards A Yu today, he somewhat guessed something.Understood, he stood up shaking his fan, walked to the couch and said to his younger sister, "Sleep obediently for a while, don't pester Ah Yu to talk, you know?" My younger sister has the habit of taking a nap, and now she won't be able to sleep at night if she doesn't sleep .

"I know, brother, let's go, sister Yu, come up!" Xiao Cancan pushed him away impatiently, and then grabbed Ayu's arm and pulled him up.

A Yu blushed, Xiao Ren hadn't left yet, how could she take off her shoes.

Xiao Ren was standing next to A Yu, seeing her shy look, somehow remembered how she blushed and her chest trembled for no reason that day on the road, and it happened that Zhan Huaichun called him impatiently, so he hastily told him, strode out.

After he left, Ah Yu lay down on the couch to coax Xiao Cancan to sleep.But this little girl was very energetic, so she insisted on talking to her, asking her where her home was and if there was a brother there.A Yu said that she didn't remember, and asked Xiao Cancan what she usually does at home. Xiao Cancan didn't know how to comfort others, and kept talking about her, keeping Xiao Ren in three sentences.

Later Xiao Cancan fell asleep, and A Yu lay down looking at the top of the boat, and couldn't help but imagine the scene of Xiao Ren and Xiao Cancan getting along at home.

When the boat docked in the afternoon, Xiao Cancan was tired after playing all day, so he took his brother's hand and let him hug him.Xiao Ren patted her head, knelt down and said, "I really can't do anything about you. Next time, if you do this again, my brother won't take you out to play." Even so, he picked up the little girl and kissed her on the face. Take a sip.Xiao Cancan chuckled, leaning her head on his shoulder, hugging his neck with both hands, not dislike the summer heat at all.

Ah Yu was dumbfounded again.

Why does this situation feel so familiar to her? It seems that she once did what Xiao Cancan did, acting like a baby to a man.

From the lakeside to the gate of Zhan's house, Ah Yu kept staring at Xiao Ren's back, with all kinds of complicated emotions in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether he liked it, was curious, or was more confused.Because she was at the end, she could see what the people in front did. When Zhan Huaichun turned her head, Ayu quickly lowered her eyes and her eyes fell on Qiuqiu.

"Do you like that dog?" After the carriage drove away, Zhan Huaichun led Ayu back, deliberately slowing down and walking side by side with her.

Ayu nodded, she likes Qiuqiu very much.

"Then I'll ask someone to bring some dogs over tomorrow, and you can choose one yourself, so that you don't have to be alone in the yard and just read a book." Zhan Huaichun smiled, thinking that she was reluctant to part with dogs.In fact, when he saw Qiuqiu at Xiao's house, he was thinking of buying a dog, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Xiao Cancan to bring it to Ayu to see if she liked it.

"Ah, the young master really wants to buy it?" A Yu looked up in surprise, the excitement of getting a dog finally diluted the confusion in his heart.

Her brows relaxed, her face returned to her usual innocence and carefree, Zhan Huaichun's mood followed, and he teased her in a low voice: "Who asked me to be your second brother? Since you like it, then let's buy it. But this kind of dog is hard to serve, In the future, don't worry about trouble."

Ayu repeatedly promised that she would take good care of the dog.

Of course Zhan Huaichun believed her, and told Chang'an to make arrangements later.

Ayu was looking forward to it, but was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of him, so he kept asking Zhan Huaichun questions after raising the dog, such as where the dog slept and what to eat, until it got dark.

There will be a puppy tomorrow, and Ayu fell asleep smiling.

But this night, she had a dream again, dreaming that she was only as big as Xiao Cancan, and then someone squatted on the ground to carry her.She lay on his shoulders, in front of her was a strange village road and a dazzling sunset.A Yu tried hard to see what the man looked like, but he couldn't see it, he could only feel his thin and thin shoulders.

"Ayu, what do you want to eat tonight?"

When she heard the man ask her that, he was gentle and doting.

Ayu suddenly woke up.

The room was dark and nothing could be seen.
