Chapter 216 Don’t you miss your sister?
"Are you still short of that little monthly salary?" Lianxin's mouth twitched. Ever since the eldest lady became the housekeeper, not to mention her and Luokui, the two personal maids, even the maids and servants in the old house of the Xiao family, in addition to the basic monthly salary, can get extra money every month as long as they do their job well!
During the Chinese New Year, the eldest lady is never stingy. She gives away food and gifts, as well as tips. If anyone's family encounters any difficulties, they can receive their monthly allowance in advance. The eldest lady is kind-hearted. Every six months, she invites a doctor to take everyone's pulse. Everyone just pays for the medicine, and the consultation fee is waived!
The group of people who used to live in the Xiao family’s old house had some ulterior motives and some were narrow-minded, but they were all driven away. The remaining ones were all working seriously. They were all very excited. Fortunately, they stayed!
Now he is even more motivated, fearing that he will be kicked out of the Xiao family.
"Who would complain about having too much money?" Luo Kui covered her purse with her hands. Her purse was her life!
"Stingy." Lianxin covered her lips with her hands and laughed so hard that her stomach almost hurt.
"What's wrong with being stingy? The money must be saved, otherwise, what if it's gone when you need it?" Luo Kui answered confidently, not thinking that there was anything wrong with being stingy at all.
"Yes, yes, you are just afraid that you will run out of money when you go out to buy delicious food, right?" Lianxin said jokingly.
Luo Kui cleared his throat and said, "Well, then we won't have enough money to buy other things."
"You won't buy other things if you don't have money." Lianxin knew everything about Luokui. Apart from food, which Luokui would pay attention to and buy, Luokui would save as much as possible on other things.
"Lianxin!" Luokui stared at Lianxin.
"Puff!"
Xiao Jiuyue couldn't help laughing. These two maids were really becoming more and more interesting.
"Miss, you are still laughing at me." Luo Kui felt very aggrieved and always felt that Xiao Jiuyue was still laughing at her!
"We've arrived at the academy!"
Hua Qing's voice just sounded, and Xiao Jiuyue looked outside. It was the familiar Huaixian Academy, but the difference was that now, there were quite a few people standing at the entrance of the academy.
"Xiao Jiayuan, I will definitely beat you!"
Xiao Jiuyue opened the curtain and saw a young man taller than Xiao Jiayuan speaking to him in a menacing manner.
"Then let's wait and see." Xiao Jiayuan straightened his back. Even though he was younger and shorter than the other person, Xiao Jiayuan's aura was not inferior to the other person at all.
"Hmph." The young man turned around and ran away. He looked so angry that people who didn't know the situation would think that the two were going to fight!
"Wow, young master is so awesome!" Luo Kui praised.
Lian Xin said: "Young Master is naturally the best!"
"Jiayuan, you have really grown up." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Jiayuan with admiration. Although Xiao Jiayuan was short in height, he was the most handsome guy in the crowd. Facing the challenges from others, Xiao Jiayuan did not resist at all and had the demeanor of a great man.
"Brother, Lei Yan just wants to laugh at you. He participated in the college competition last year and won first place in the 'book' competition. We..." Xiao Jiachen looked at Xiao Jiayuan worriedly.
"Jiachen, the Xiao family, will never admit defeat, let alone back down." Xiao Jiayuan pressed his lips into a straight line and said, "I want to be like my father and my eldest brother, and strive to be number one."
"But..." Xiao Jiachen was about to say something when suddenly, Xiao Jiayuan saw Hua Qing and Xiao Jiuyue sitting in the carriage. He looked like a mature young boy just now, but now he suddenly grinned and ran towards Xiao Jiuyue: "Sister, you're back?"
Xiao Jiayuan rushed into the carriage panting. Luo Kui and Lian Xin had already taken the initiative to get off the carriage and move to other seats. At the same time, they also gave Xiao Jiachen a portion of the prepared snacks.
"Sister, grandma and mother miss you so much." Xiao Jiayuan's face turned red with excitement as he got on the carriage.
"Don't you miss your sister?"
Xiao Jiuyue said jokingly, stretched out her hand to pinch Xiao Jiayuan's face, and said, "You've lost a bit of weight."
"Sister, I've grown up!" Xiao Jiayuan said this with a red face, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
"I brought you a gift in vain. Since you don't miss your sister, forget it!" Xiao Jiuyue leaned against the carriage and tapped the snacks on the table with her fingers. The purple snacks hadn't been eaten yet, but the fragrance kept coming to her.
"Sister." Xiao Jiayuan nodded awkwardly.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at him and deliberately said, "I didn't hear it."
Xiao Jiayuan puffed his cheeks and said, "Sister, you did it on purpose."
Xiao Jiuyue sighed and said, "Alas, I drove back from Hongdu in a carriage and didn't even have lunch, just to pick you up from school."
Xiao Jiayuan was very moved and nodded quickly, "Sister, I miss you too."
There was a mosquito-like sound. Xiao Jiuyue looked around blankly: "Jia Yuan, did you hear that? Where does that mosquito sound come from?"
“…”
Xiao Jiayuan looked at his sister who was acting like a drama queen, and finally, he could only raise his voice a little: "I want to."
"You are such a good brother to my sister." Xiao Jiuyue was very happy and finally stopped making things difficult for Xiao Jiayuan. She was afraid that if she teased him any longer, Xiao Jiayuan would get angry!
Laughter was heard from the carriage, and Xiao Jiachen looked at the carriage with envy in his eyes.
"Young master, it's time to get on the carriage." The servant Chongguang whispered, pulling Xiao Jiachen's sleeve.
Xiao Jiachen got on the carriage dejectedly. Luo Kui handed over the snacks and said, "Fourth Young Master, these are the snacks that the eldest lady brought back from the capital."
Looking at the purple dessert, Xiao Jiachen's eyes lit up a little more. He held the plate with great care and said, "Thank you, big sister. I like it very much."
…
"Jiayuan, you said that your Huaixian Academy is going to compete with Qingyun Academy? You also signed up for the calligraphy competition?" Xiao Jiuyue finally understood that the person who had just challenged Xiao Jiayuan was Lei Yan, a student from the same academy.
"Yes, sister, don't worry, I will definitely compete well and not bring shame to the Xiao family." Xiao Jiayuan looked determined.
"I believe in you. You will definitely be the best!" Xiao Jiuyue said encouragingly. She then asked about Lei Yan's situation. Knowing that Lei Yan won first place last year, she asked, "You, knowing that he did it on purpose, still agreed?"
"I can win!" Xiao Jiayuan's words were full of determination. He looked up at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Sister, calligraphy competitions are not just about calligraphy, they're also about memory."
Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly. "If it's a competition like the one in Shengjing, they should pick an unpopular poem or scripture and ask you to memorize it on the spot. Then, within the allotted time, we'll see who can write more and better, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Jiayuan nodded affirmatively. Speaking of memory, the confidence in his eyes increased a little more: "Sister, I have a good memory. You have praised it before, so I just need to write as well as possible!"
"Mr. Jiang praised me for my great progress." When Xiao Jiayuan talked about being praised by Mr. Jiang, he smiled shyly and felt a little embarrassed.
