Chapter 138 Sitting at the Door Waiting for Brother

Xu Wan was relatively calm. When she first got married, the old lady had prepared more than 20 sets of casual clothes for her. The other clothes for attending banquets were also made individually and hand-embroidered by countless embroiderers.

Although she had never enjoyed this treatment before, she had seen it on TV. The wives of wealthy families always said: Except for these, everything else is covered.

The old lady probably got it this way too.

As the younger but older sister, Xu Wan took on the responsibility of being the eldest sister-in-law and whispered to her, "The clothes are ready, we just need to accept them and don't let our mother-in-law down."

Bailiweihong was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.

Her mother had taught her that if she kept making excuses, she would end up hurting others.

So she followed Xu Wan and said obediently, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

The old lady smiled so hard seeing this, she said: "Okay, I will bring my two beautiful daughters-in-law with me when I go out from now on. It is really a delight to the eyes."

Xu Wan added at the right time: "And your two beautiful grandchildren."

Ever since she discovered that Zong Jincheng was unwilling to sell his clothes for silver, she asked Butler Liu to return his gorgeous clothes to him one by one.

Wenxiu was used to the hard life in the slums, and he often wore ordinary linen clothes when he came back. He was always looked down upon. When Xu Wan noticed this, she immediately asked housekeeper Liu to order several new sets of clothes for him, so that he could dress beautifully and handsomely like Jincheng every day.

These words touched the old lady's heart. She soon realized that her eldest daughter-in-law did not control the clothes of her two children. Now her desire to buy, buy, buy reached its peak again.

She exclaimed happily, "Oh, it's time for my two precious grandsons to get new clothes. I'll ask someone to make some for them right away."

In the past, I was concerned about Xu Wan educating the child, but she was too frustrated. Which grandparents would not want to buy a lot of good things for their children?

The old lady walked out as she spoke, in a hurry that made people laugh and cry.

Xu Wan patted her sister-in-law on the shoulder and comforted her, "Get used to it soon."

Bailiweihong smiled faintly and said, "Mother-in-law is very nice. She is happy every day."

There are so many important things in life, but happiness is the most difficult and the most desirable.

This is the second day of the holiday. The little devil is used to high-intensity study, and suddenly he has been idle for two days. He feels something is wrong.

He originally wanted to go and play with his brother, but Zong Wenxiu was not at home.

This is the second time.

His brother forgot to take him out again.

"What on earth is my brother doing?" asked the little devil.

Shunzi's hair was shaking like a wave drum. He followed the little ancestor every day, so how could he have the time to pay attention to where Master Xiu was? He was too busy to do anything, okay?

The little devil turned around and asked without saying anything.

Without saying: “…”

Young Master, I am just good at martial arts, I don’t have the third eye.

Seeing Bu Yan shaking his head, the little devil couldn't hold it back anymore and he rushed out the door immediately.

Shunzi and Buyan followed closely.

Zong Jincheng said he was looking for someone but had no direction at all. He walked aimlessly. The sounds of hawking on the street came one after another, but he had already gotten used to living without money, so he plugged his ears with his hands and forced his way through.

Not on the street.

He went to Qingbo Academy again, but he didn't see his brother in the children's class. Instead, he saw Qin Ye from the same class reading with his head down.

Still that cold and annoying look.

"Tsk." The little devil rolled his eyes and rarely sneered at Qin Ye. He turned around and walked out, still mumbling, "Where the hell is my brother?"

Zong Wenxiu had no relatives, so these were the only places he could go, but he just couldn't find anyone.

Zong Jincheng's eyes lit up and he suddenly remembered a place.

"He must have gone to see the devil!"

Jingchen was a person from the slums. He was a child that he and Zong Wenxiu had helped together. He was also their mutual friend. His brother must have gone to play with Jingchen!

Zong Jincheng went over with full confidence, but again came up empty-handed.

He said in surprise: "Brother Wenxiu is not here."

The little devil was immediately deflated. He thought his brother had a little secret and must have made new friends without telling him.

The young guy tilted his head and thought, could it be that he went to find Qin Shi?

Is Qin Shi studying in the North Courtyard of Hanlin Academy? Thinking of this, he wanted to change his route to find Qin Shi.

But Jing Chen said in shock: "My sister said that she saw Brother Wen Xiu coming here yesterday, but he didn't come to see us."

"Ah? Who are you looking at?" The little devil tilted his head and thought, could it be that his brother has friends here?

But that's true, his brother has lived here for nine and a half years, he must have other friends, they just may not have mentioned them to him.

The little devil thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go home and wait for him. I'll come to see you another day."

Shocked, he smiled and said, "Yeah."

The little devil waited until evening.

Zong Wenxiu finally came back exhausted. When he looked up, he saw the guards on both sides of the gate of the mansion, and his brother sitting on the gate. At this moment, he was holding up his head, with a gray face, looking at him with sparkling eyes, and said in surprise: "Brother, I finally waited for you to come back!"

Zong Wenxiu paused where he was, then quickly stepped forward, pulled him up and said, "Why are you waiting for me here? The wind is strongest at the door, are you cold?"

"It's not cold, it's a cool breeze today. Brother, where have you been? I went to many places but couldn't find you."

Zong Wenxiu said vaguely, "I went out to meet a few people and was busy with some things."

"What's the matter? How come I don't know? You've been going out without me for two days in a row. Don't you love me anymore?"

"How is that possible? You are so obedient and sensible. I love you the most."

"Haha. I knew it."

The two walked towards the house while talking. When they arrived at Zong Wenxiu's yard, he took the wet towel from the basin rack and wiped his brother's face.

Zong Jincheng had been running around all day and his face was covered in dust, but he didn't bother to clean himself up. He just waited for his brother at the door and recited "The Doctrine of the Mean" by the way.

The little devil said, "Brother, I went to the streets, the Tongke class, and the slums today, but I couldn't find you. If Jing Jing hadn't said that you went to meet other friends yesterday, I would have gone to Qin Shi to look for you."

Zong Wenxiu paused while wiping his face and asked, "Why did you go to so many places to look for me? Is there something going on?"

"Nothing, I just want to play with you, but you've ignored me for two days." The little devil thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you going to meet your friends tomorrow? Can you take me with you?"

Zong Wenxiu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I've seen it before, and I probably won't go there again."

"What..." The little devil became more and more confused as he listened, and finally started to get angry, saying aggrievedly, "Another secret, another secret. You and Xu Wan tell secrets in front of me every day, and you ignore me and hide from me, and you refuse to tell me anything."
