Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and were supported by their servants as they left tremblingly.
Xiao Qi glanced at Zhuang Jiu and thought he seemed a little too lonely. Frowning, he asked, "How come you don't even have anyone to look after you? What are your plans for the holidays?"
"No plans." Zhuang Jiu was simply a flower on the high mountain. If Xiao Qi hadn't been thick-skinned enough, no one would have dared to say anything more to him.
"I'm miserable. My aunt wants to find a wife for me! What's so good about that delicate little wife? Can I still study and go to school with a wife? I will definitely not have the heart to do it, right?" Xiao Cunyu was heartbroken.
Zhuang Jiu's heart sank, but then he pretended to be relaxed and smiled faintly: "You've never been ambitious before, so don't put the blame on the girl."
Xiao Cunyu made a bitter face.
"You don't understand me either." Xiao Qi sniffed and looked up at the sky: "No one can understand the sadness of this young master!"
“…”Zhuang Jiu really didn’t understand.
He is young, handsome, casual and free, rich, smart, loved by his brothers and protected by his elders. Even when he pretends to be sad, people don't feel sad at all, but rather find it a bit funny.
At this moment, he also understood that no matter how different Xiao Qilang was, he was still a teenager after all.
"If you find your ideal marriage partner, I, as your brother, will definitely give you a generous gift," Zhuang Jiu added.
It's a little colder again.
Xiao Cunyu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Keep it for yourself!"
Xiao Cunyu made a face at him, then climbed onto the carriage with a look of despair.
Zhuang Jiu was a little puzzled. Perhaps he didn't know how to interact with others. He could never understand Xiao Qi's fickle thoughts. For ordinary people, having a beautiful wife in their arms would be considered a blessing to the heavens, but why was he angry when he wished him a happy marriage?
Could it be that the woman the Xiao family is looking for is not good enough?
But the Xiao family has always had a good vision and would never harm him.
Zhuang Jiu let out a sigh of relief, and then his cool demeanor became a little more free and easy, and he left this bloody place.
When Xiao Qi returned home, the items that he had asked someone to send to the capital had just arrived. There were not many valuable items in them. Apart from the "New Year's Picture", the rest were some cloth and furs.
The weather is getting colder, so it's time to start preparing new clothes.
Her second brother is coming of age, and she also needs to give him a gift. This gift must be better than the "magic stone" she gave to her eldest brother earlier. She originally wanted to make do with these furs, but now she feels that it is not feasible.
She was so immersed in the fur that her head was almost submerged.
"Tieyi..." After a long while, she started to order people over. After she finished calling, she felt that Tieyi was too tall and mighty, and was not suitable to deliver the painting, so she called Zhule over.
Zhule's eyes now are more respectful than when he was in the opera house before.
He originally thought that the young master was just looking for an excuse to trick him into his house, but he didn't expect that he actually bought him back to work.
The previously mentioned corpse-digging job hasn't happened yet, but he has been asked to go out and buy some strange things in the past two days.
"Young Master, what do you want?" Zhule's voice was clear and particularly attractive, but his face was ruined. Even though Xiao Qi gave him the best medicine, deep scars could still be seen on it.
"Go to the academy to deliver the painting to my third brother. When you see him, speak louder and tell him that my painting 'Taiping Chaosui Tu' has arrived. Let him take a good look at it." Xiao Cunyu said seriously.
"Master, isn't it said that wealth should not be shown off?" Zhule asked as he packed up his things.
"This is something I earned through my own skill. So what if it's exposed? Who dares to steal it?" Xiao Cunyu said proudly. "I know a few days ago, many people laughed at my third brother for being so foolish as to believe the nonsense of a younger brother like me. My third brother, Xia Ziyueyun, has been bullied for so long because of this. How can I not let him feel proud for once?"
