Chapter 461 Sending a Hairpin
Yuan Ziyu posted a message inviting Huo Wan and Ji Nuanqing to go watch the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival.
Upon learning that Yuan Ziyu had invited Ji Nuanqing, Yuan Zining smiled from ear to ear and ran to Wuyou Pavilion, constantly showing her affection to Yuan Ziyu: "Little sister, if you see something you like, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."
Yuan Ziyu looked at Yuan Zining with a smile: "Second brother, if I hadn't invited Sister Ji, would you buy it for me?"
"I'll buy it, of course." Yuan Zining smiled flatteringly, "It's only natural to buy things for my little sister."
"Oh, that's good." Yuan Ziyu seemed to be relieved: "Then I'm relieved. Second brother, you can't go back on your word."
Yuan Zining felt something was wrong and blinked: "Little sister, why don't I understand?"
"Ahem." Yuan Ziyou suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "Second brother, I'm really sorry. I invited Sister Ji, but Sister Ji has something going on at home. I'm afraid she won't be able to come. I just received the letter."
"Ah!" Yuan Zining opened his eyes wide upon hearing this, his face full of disbelief: "How could this be? Why didn't Qing'er come? What happened at home?"
Then he hurriedly said to Yuan Ziyu, "Little sister, please send someone to ask Qing'er why she can't keep the appointment."
At this time, the four sisters of the Cui family were also in Wuyou Pavilion. Seeing Yuan Zining's anxious look, they couldn't help laughing. Cui Rulin covered her lips and smiled, feeling very envious in her heart. She looked at Yuan Ziyu, then at Cui Ruxun, then lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing that Yuan Ziyu was having a hard time suppressing his laughter, Qingzhi said with a smile, "Second Young Master, our girl is just teasing you. Miss Ji is here to keep her appointment."
"Really?" Yuan Zining breathed a sigh of relief, but asked uncertainly.
Yuan Ziyou shook his head and sighed, "Second brother, you are getting dumber and dumber."
"Hehe." Yuan Zining scratched his hair with a silly smile: "Just come on, just come on."
Then he said to Yuan Ziyou, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first. My brother and I will escort you to see the lanterns tomorrow night."
After saying that, Yuan Zining was about to leave. However, before Yuan Zining could leave, a little girl came to report that Quanshan had arrived.
Yuan Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, looked at Cui Ruxun with a smile, and said, "Let Quanshan come in."
Ever since the four sisters of the Cui family moved into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they often came to Wuyou Pavilion to play.
After the third day of the New Year, Yuan Zian became very busy and was not at home these days. However, although Yuan Zian was not at home, he had asked Quanshan to come several times and send him cakes.
When Yuan Zining heard that Quan Shan was coming, he was immediately startled and hurriedly said to Yuan Ziyu and the others, "Don't tell Quan Shan that I'm here."
After saying that, he hurriedly hid behind the screen.
Yuan Zining had just hidden herself when Quan Shan came in and bowed, saying, "Meet the Second Miss and the cousins."
Yuan Ziyou smiled and asked, "What did Big Brother ask you to bring today?"
Chongshan smiled and said, "The eldest master asked me to give something to my second cousin."
When Cui Ruxun heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment and she only asked, "What is it?"
Quan Shan hurriedly held up the flat box in his hand and said, "This is from the eldest son to my second cousin. It means it can be used to match clothes for the Lantern Festival tomorrow."
"Please thank the eldest young master for me." Cui Ruxun said calmly, and the maid beside her hurried forward to take the flat box.
After Quan Shan delivered the things, he smiled and said to Yuan Ziyu, "Second Miss, the eldest master said that he would finish all the matters at hand today and return home tomorrow afternoon to escort the girls to see the lanterns."
"Okay, I understand." Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "You should also tell big brother to take a good rest and not get too tired."
After saying this, he motioned Qingying to bring over a few silver coins and gave them to Quanshan as a reward: "Take this and drink some wine."
"Thank you, second young lady." Quanshan took it with a smile, then said goodbye and left.
After Quan Shan left, Yuan Zining came out from behind the screen. Yuan Ziyu looked at Yuan Zining with a smile: "Second brother, big brother is so busy, how come you have so much free time? Does big brother know?"
I don’t think I’d know!
Yuan Zining's family knew about his own affairs. He had secretly run back from the Jingxi camp specifically to ask for information. If his eldest brother knew about it, he would definitely punish him so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three days.
Yuan Zining hurriedly said with a smile: "Little sister, please don't tell big brother that I'm going back to the camp now."
As he walked out, he kept reminding them: "Don't tell anyone!"
Seeing Yuan Zining like this, several people couldn't help but laugh.
Cui Rulin's eyes flashed, and she said to Cui Ruxun, "Second sister, what did your eldest cousin give you?"
"Yes, second sister, please show it to us quickly." Cui Ruxu also said with a smile.
Yuan Ziyu also said, "I guess it's either a hairpin or earrings."
Cui Rumei also laughed and said, "Maybe it's Liusu."
Seeing that several sisters were clamoring to see it, Cui Ruxun blushed slightly but smiled generously and said, "I'll open it and show you."
Having said that, she asked the maid to open the flat box.
When they opened it, they saw a plum blossom hairpin with cherry red crystal and white rice beads inlaid in the flat box. It was very delicate and beautiful, and everyone was amazed by it.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Big Brother actually has such good taste."
"It's very beautiful." Cui Ruxun smiled happily, and her face became even redder as she spoke.
Cui Ruxu also smiled and said, "This hairpin is perfect for that cherry pink jacket."
After saying that, he looked at Cui Ruxun mischievously and said, "Second sister, I remember that cherry pink jacket was also given to me by my eldest cousin."
After Cui Ruxu said this, everyone understood. No wonder Quanshan said that he could match the clothes. It turned out that Yuan Zian had already arranged it. So they all looked at Cui Ruxun and smiled, making Cui Ruxun feel even more embarrassed.
Cui Rulin smiled and said, "Second sister, your cousin is so good to you!"
The others didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but Cui Rumei's heart skipped a beat. She quickly said with a smile, "Fourth sister, Second sister and eldest cousin are getting married soon. She will be our eldest cousin's wife in the future. Naturally, eldest cousin will be good to Second sister."
Cui Rumei was reminding Cui Rulin and wanted her to stop having inappropriate thoughts.
Cui Rulin naturally heard it, secretly glanced at Cui Rumei, and just smiled and said: "Second sister is really enviable."
Cui Ruxun and Cui Rulin had never had a very good relationship, but it was not appropriate to ignore her here, so she smiled faintly: "Fourth sister, you are joking. In the future, fourth sister will also find her own good marriage."
"Then I'll borrow Second Sister's good words."
