Chapter 33: Deep Love between Siblings and Brothers

Compared to the chaos in Xishouyuan, Xixiayuan is a peaceful place.

Jian Zhang stayed at Min's place tonight. At three o'clock in the morning, maids came in and out with toiletries.

Jian Ruonan was sleeping soundly in the green gauze closet. She was awakened by the candlelight and opened her eyes in a daze. Wen Xue, the maid on duty, whispered, "Fifth Miss, it's still early. You continue to sleep. The eldest master is going to the court to wash outside."

Jian Ruonan suddenly wanted her own yard. She always slept in her mother's place and was woken up by her father washing every morning.

She turned around with a groan, covered her head with the quilt, and fell asleep again.

Wen Xue stood by and didn't dare to rest, fearing that Fifth Miss would get sick. As soon as Jian Zhang left, she gently lifted the quilt from her head.

Jian Ruonan's face was flushed, and she was sleeping soundly.

She slept until the end of the Chen hour, and there was no sign of Jian Ruonan waking up.

Jian Xilu got up at Mao hour every day, practiced the zither for half an hour, and copied scriptures for a while. When

she arrived at Xixiayuan at Si hour, she found her sister was still sleeping. The old lady was frightened yesterday, and the little maid came early in the morning to inform her that she didn't need to pay respects today. After seeing Jian Zhang to court, Min took a nap for a while, but got up at about the beginning of Chen hour.

Only Jian Ruonan slept with her butt sticking up, and she didn't get up until the sun was shining on her butt.

"My sister hasn't woken up yet?" Jian Xilu was also a little worried. With her sister's sleep schedule like this, what would she do when she gets married in the future?

Min smiled and said, "Why don't you go and wake her up?"

The little girl seemed to like her elder sister Xilu very much. The maid went to wake her up several times but failed. Maybe Nannan would wake up immediately after Xilu went.

Jian Xilu walked into the green gauze closet and saw a ball on the solid wood carved bed in the room. It was really hard to tell which was the head and which was the foot.

The way my sister sleeps is really... different from others.

She doesn't feel bored at all.

Jian Xilu helped her pull down the quilt. Stimulated by the sunlight, Jian Ruonan's brows wrinkled into a ball, "Sleep for another half an incense stick..."

"If you don't get up, Dad will have to go to the government office."

Hearing her sister's voice, Jian Ruonan woke up slightly and stretched her waist, "Sister Xilu, good morning."

Jian Ruonan was in a mess, and she was more determined to have a small courtyard on her own. With her own courtyard, she could get up whenever she wanted. If she could also have her own small kitchen, it would be even more perfect, and she wouldn't have to worry about not having food to eat if she got up too late.

She staggered up, put on her jacket and went to wash. She held

a toothbrush in her mouth, her eyes were hazy, and she closed her eyes when brushing her teeth. Her head swayed from side to side, which was very cute, making the maids who were serving on the side cover their mouths and laugh.

After rinsing her mouth, Jian Ruonan opened her eyes and suddenly saw a boy about six years old standing in front of her.

The boy was wearing a pink sunflower robe, and his childish face was chubby, and his skin was as white as a piece of fine jade.

His thick eyelashes curled slightly, and his eyes were clear and bright.

The boy looked childish, but like a little adult, he put his hands behind his back, wrinkled his nose, and looked Jian Ruonan up and down.

[Oh my, what a cute baby, come here for your sister to hug and pinch your face! ]

[Be good and let your sister suck on you! Oh my, so cute! ! ]

Jian Ruonan was a person who did not want to marry or have children, but she had no power to resist the cute baby.

Especially the little boy in front of her, who was born with fair skin, red lips and white teeth, the kind that would attract many strange aunts if he walked on the street in modern times.

Jian Ruonan just stretched out her hand, before she touched anyone, the boy's eyes widened, and he ran away screaming.

"Where did this kid come from? He's so cute." Jian Ruonan took the towel handed over by the maid and wiped her face.

Wen Xue smiled and said, "That's the fourth young master."

The fourth young master, isn't he her own brother.

Her own brother is really cute, but he is so startled. I'm afraid he's a naughty child, right?

Jian Huateng trotted into Min's arms, pointed at Jian Ruonan and said, "Mom, there is a beautiful female monster in the green gauze cabinet. If she wants to suck me, I'll beep--"

Hey, why can't I speak?

Are monsters so powerful?

"Mother, I just, beep--"

Jian Huateng wanted to say that he had just heard the female monster's inner voice, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Min rubbed his head, "Which monster did you come from? That's your fifth sister, who just returned from Jiangnan."

Seeing Teng'er's panic, Min must have heard Nan Nan's inner voice, "Don't be afraid, we can all beep--"

Min frowned, why couldn't she speak when she mentioned the inner voice.

She didn't believe it, so she opened her mouth again, "beep--"

She tried several times, but couldn't say it.

Min realized belatedly that being able to hear Nan Nan's inner voice was something that could not be expressed in words.

Jian Huateng said it several times but couldn't say it, so he had to give up.

But from the expression of his mother, it seemed that his mother could also hear the inner voice.

After Jian Ruonan finished washing up, Min introduced Teng Ge'er to her, "This is your fourth brother, Teng Ge'er, hey, today is not a day off, why are you back?"

The Imperial College is closed every five days, and Teng Ge'er will come back once every five days.

Jian Huateng bowed to Jian Ruonan properly, "Hello, fifth sister."

After the bow, he turned to Min and said respectfully, "Mother, we were supposed to have a day off tomorrow, but today the teacher is sick, so we were allowed to come back early."

Jian Huateng stood obediently, looking well-behaved and polite. His every move showed the elegant temperament of a scholar, and he had nothing to do with the word "naughty child".

Seeing him so obedient, Min smiled with relief: "Brother Teng has gone to the Imperial College and has become much more upright."

Jian Ruonan had an aunt's smile on her face. Her own brother, shouldn't she be able to rub him casually?

Before rubbing him, she carefully let the system explode first to see what kind of personality her brother had.

[Emm... How could the teacher be sick? He is obviously skipping school. This morning, he is teaching literature. He always pees four or five times during literature class. Today, he just fell to the ground and pretended to be sick to skip class! He is so young, but he can lie to his teacher and mother without changing his expression. So cool!]

[He looks so cute, but he is so naughty? What a pity!]

[Sure enough, six or seven years old is an age that cats and dogs dislike. 】

Jian Huateng: "......"

Min frowned, and the smile on her face slowly faded, "Which teacher is sick, what disease is he suffering from, mother will send someone to the Imperial College to deliver some medicine immediately."

Jian Huateng's hair stood on end, and he immediately explained: "Mother, don't listen to the beep--"

"Fifth sister is beeping--"

Although Jian Huateng is young, he is very smart. After trying a few times, he also realized that as long as the topic involves his inner voice, he can't say it.

Help, this new sister, how can it be a walking complaint intelligence station! !

"Mother, I listen to the teachers the most in the Imperial College, but that old Li... Oh, no, Master Li's lectures are extremely boring. I already know everything, so I came back early! If you don't believe me, I'll recite it to you right away!"

[Master Li just taught this article and I didn't know a single word. The naughty child is really smart and wants to use what he learned before to fool his mother. ]

[Let me see what great deeds the little guy has done in the Imperial College... He is quite capable. He can take his classmates to pick bird eggs and swim in the river to catch fish. But he is an excellent student, which gives the teachers a headache. ]

[This naughty child, if I don't teach him a lesson, he will go to heaven! ]

Jianhua Teng: "..."

Is this my biological sister?

Is this the feeling that a biological sister should have? !

Min rubbed her brows and ordered the maid, "Bring the ruler."

Teng Ge'er was enlightened at the age of three, could write poems at the age of four, and could write articles at the age of five. He was also well-behaved, but his personality was hard to describe.

Because of his precocity, Teng Ge'er was quite arrogant. He once stole the old lady's jade to exchange for money, and then bought a thousand-mile horse.

When asked why he took the old lady's jade, he said that because the things in his mother's room belonged to his family, he would take them from outsiders.

Jian Zhang had great expectations for Teng Ge'er. As long as he did well in his studies, he would not be willing to beat or scold him. Now that he made the mistake of skipping classes, if he didn't beat him once and tighten his skin, he might do it again in the future.

Seeing his mother holding a ruler, Teng Ge'er's body tensed up, and his pair of big black eyes widened like a cat.

He first looked at Jian Xilu, who shook her head helplessly.

When his father comes back later, if he knows that Teng Ge'er has skipped school, he might be punished even more severely.

It would be better to let his mother educate him, which would only be a couple of slaps on the palms and then be punished to kneel.

Seeing that his elder sister was getting nowhere, Teng Ge'er rolled his eyes, made up his mind, turned around and threw himself into Jian Ruonan's arms.

"Fifth sister, my dear sister, you have to save me! My brother's life is in your hands!"

Jian Ruonan held the warm ball in her arms, and her heart softened all of a sudden.

"Mother, the ancients said that knowing one's mistakes is the best way to improve oneself. Can you give my fourth brother a chance to reform?" Jian Ruonan rubbed her brother's chubby face and held him tightly in her arms.

[Oh, this chubby little face is so good to pinch! ]

Teng Ge'er quickly offered his other cheek for his sister to pinch.

Min: "..."

This child might grow up to be a traitor.
