"Oh! Xin Xin, you just got up? Why didn't you comb your hair properly?" Cheng Huaijin said in surprise when he saw Gu Xin with her hair down.
"Brother Jin, I used the shampoo my sister made, and I'm drying my hair now!" Gu Xin replied, then grabbed her hair and held it up to the siblings, saying, "Smell it, doesn't it smell wonderful? It has a refreshing orange blossom scent, doesn't it?"
"Mmm, it smells so good! Wow, Sister Niannian is amazing! Where is Sister Niannian?" Cheng Huaijin sniffed and then asked.
“My sister is in that little wooden house over there,” Gu Xin said.
"Little sister, do you want to come with me to find Sister Niannian?" Cheng Huaijin squeezed his little sister's hand and asked.
Cheng Huaiyu shook his head, then took Gu Xin's hand.
"Xin Xin, you watch over Xiao Yu, I'm going to find Sister Niannian!" Cheng Huaijin let go of Xiao Yu, instructed Gu Xin, and headed towards the small wooden house that Gu Xin pointed out.
"Sisi, this is Xiaoyu, whom I told you about. Xiaoyu, this is my cousin Gu Si, we all call her Sisi." Gu Xin introduced the two girls to each other.
Gu Si was someone who didn't like talking to strangers, and seeing that Cheng Huaiyu didn't speak, she just looked at her.
Cheng Huaiyu is completely speechless, and right now, she only has eyes for Gu Xin.
The scene became somewhat awkward at one point.
"Cheng Huaijin, stop! Don't touch that!" At this moment, Gu Nian's angry roar came from the small wooden house.
"Sister Xinxin, I'm going to see if my sister and Sister Niannian have anything to do. You can play with Xiaoyu!" Gu Si heard the voice and ran over there.
"Xiaoyu, let's go take a look too!" Gu Xin didn't know what Cheng Huaijin had done to upset her sister, so she wanted to go and see as well.
The servants of the Cheng family who had come along also entered the courtyard upon hearing the noise.
Then Gu Shouxin, who was outside checking on the progress of the new house next door, heard the noise and came over.
As it turned out, Cheng Huaijin's curiosity led him to touch the new scented shampoo that Gu Nian was making, and he knocked over the whole bottle, which is why Gu Nian was making such a loud noise.
Cheng Huaijin apologized sincerely, so Gu Nian didn't pursue the matter further.
Gu Shouxin, being from ancient times, knew proper etiquette. In his eyes, Cheng Huaijin was just a child, but he was still twelve years old. So he told Gu Xin to go back to her room and comb her hair.
Cheng Huaiyu wanted to go with Gu Xin, so Gu Xin took him to her room.
"Xiaoyu, do you remember this candy? I gave it to you last time, let me feed you!" After entering the house, Gu Xin saw that no one else was around, so she took out her purse and rummaged through it to find the peanut candy inside.
Cheng Huaiyu's eyes lit up, and she obediently opened her mouth. Gu Xin fed her a few pieces, and also fed her the jade beads mixed with peanut candy.
She fed Cheng Huaiyu only one pill, then picked up a comb and started combing her hair.
Cheng Huaiyu sat obediently on the stool, her little face full of satisfaction, her big eyes blinking as she watched Gu Xin comb her hair.
Seeing that Gu Xin had been trying to comb her hair for a long time without success, she got up and took Gu Xin's comb.
Gu Xin was taken aback: "Does Xiaoyu know how to comb hair?"
Cheng Huaiyu nodded.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu. My sister was busy after I washed my hair today, and Mom was at Grandma's house, so I haven't learned how to comb my hair by myself yet. Xiaoyu is so amazing; she can comb her own hair all by herself now." Gu Xin sat down and obediently let Cheng Huaiyu comb her hair.
Cheng Huaiyu parted Gu Xin's hair in the middle, dividing it into two sections, then parted it again from the back of her head, leaving some hair at the back, and tying the rest into two buns.
