Chapter 153 Xie Shian: Our sweetheart Ningning is getting more and more beautiful
The maids in Wen Mansion were also dressed in red and green, holding red lacquer boxes in their arms, and kept throwing dried fruits, candies and copper coins to the onlookers.
Wen Rufeng smiled broadly and bowed to the people around him. "My third brother has made great contributions on the border, so he was appointed a sixth-rank Fuyi Guard. Today, my third brother has returned triumphantly, and I am the one who will take charge. Please share in our Wen family's joy!"
The common people were also very happy. As they took the copper coins and candies, they congratulated him, saying, "Young Master Wen is truly a rare talent!"
"Of course." Wen Ruyun waved his folding fan and smiled wickedly. "Although some of your family members have served in the frontier army, unfortunately, none of them can compare to my third brother. The gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between people and dogs."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people's compliments stopped.
This person can show off if he wants, but why does he have to drag down their loved ones?
How abominable!
"Second brother, although good times are coming for our family, you can't look down on others." Wen Yueyin smiled and bowed to everyone, "I apologize to you all on behalf of my second brother."
The people waved their hands, too lazy to look at the three of them.
Wen Yueyin suddenly noticed Wen Xingluo.
She laughed out loud, "Oh, sister, didn't you get married to the Zhenbei Palace? How come, knowing that Third Brother had won a victory and was awarded a sixth-rank official position, you want to take advantage of him again, right? You even specially rushed to pick him up before us, you are really scheming!"
"I'm not here to pick him up," Wen Xingluo said frankly, "I'm here to pick up—"
"Shut up!" Wen Ruyun interrupted her without any hesitation. "Wen Xingluo, don't I know what you're thinking? You just can't wait to show your affection to my third brother because we're about to have a good life! Yes, the Zhenbei Palace is rich and powerful, but you're not their biological daughter after all. Deep down, you still want to go home, right?"
Wen Xingluo laughed.
With these brothers and sisters, her life has become much more wonderful.
"Alright, stop arguing!" Wen Rufeng suddenly stood up. "Now that father is gone, we siblings should be more united and friendly. Xingluo, I'll take charge. You quickly apologize to your second brother and sister, and this matter will be over! From now on, our family will live a good life. We siblings should work together to help Yueyin become the Crown Princess as soon as possible. We must not argue anymore!"
"Apologize?" Wen Xingluo pondered. "Excuse me, big brother, what did I do wrong that I need to apologize to them?"
Wen Rufeng was about to answer, but found that he couldn't answer.
Since childhood, every time there was a dispute at home, he would ask Wen Xingluo to apologize.
Over time, the whole family got used to it.
But if you really want to ask him what Wen Xingluo did wrong...
He doesn't know either.
Wen Ruyun sneered, "You have no respect for your elders and are disrespectful to your brother and sister. Don't you need to apologize?!"
"Excuse me, second brother, what exactly did I say that was disrespectful to you?"
Hearing the words of the clouds, he was choked.
From beginning to end, Wen Xingluo only said two sentences, and there was really nothing wrong with them.
But for some reason, he just felt that Wen Xingluo had a bad attitude.
She should have been as obedient and welcoming to them as she used to be, only then would he have felt comfortable, instead of wandering around in front of them wearing the clothes and jewelry bought for her by the Zhenbei Palace...
"Today is Third Brother's big day, so please stop arguing." Wen Yueyin covered her chest and coughed weakly twice. "Since everyone is here to pick up Third Brother, we should be friendly and harmonious so that Third Brother won't be sad if he sees us."
Wen Rufeng sighed, "Yue Yin, when Xing Luo can be half as sensible as you, I won't have to worry about her anymore."
Wen Ruyun asked with concern, "Yue Yin, the wind is so strong here, and you're so fragile, how can you handle it? Why don't you wait in the sedan chair?"
"No," Wen Yueyin coughed a few times, revealing a strong expression, "On such a happy day, I must see my third brother's triumphant return with my own eyes..."
Wen Ruyun patted her head lovingly, then looked at Wen Xingluo unhappily, "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that your sister is frail and coughing badly? Why don't you take off your fur coat and give it to your sister?"
It snowed last night and it’s very cold in Chengdu today.
Wen Xingluo was wearing a white fox fur coat with feather gauze that was specially given to her by the old concubine. It was made of white fox fur and bird feathers. It was shimmering in the snow and looked like an immortal crane. It was both beautiful and warm.
Cuicui was indignant and protected Wen Xingluo, scolding, "This is a fur coat given to my young lady by the Concubine Dowager. If you want to wear it, go buy it yourself. Standing here asking others for it, I'd think you were beggars!"
"Bad maid!"
Wen Ruyun's face was sinister and he raised his hand to slap Cuicui.
Wen Xingluo grabbed his hand and said, "Second brother, Cuicui is mine."
"Your people? Then I'll teach you a lesson first, and then teach your servants a lesson! Take off your fur coat!"
His face was ferocious, and he reached out to pull off Wen Xingluo's fur coat.
Cuicui pouted and was about to beat him up when suddenly a sharp bird cry was heard on the distant post road!
Everyone looked over.
A majestic and ferocious Saker Falcon spread its broad wings, roared, blocked out the sun, and flew towards this side!
At the end of the post road, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. A group of young men wearing fine armor and carrying bows and arrows were seen. They were all handsome and had an imposing manner.
The most eye-catching among them was the young man in the lead.
The young man was handsome and unruly, with a fiery red cloak fluttering in the cold wind. His goose yellow arrow-sleeved clothes were embroidered with patterns of ferocious beasts, and a four-finger-wide leather belt outlined his thin waist. He bent his bow and arrow on horseback, with a few strands of bangs naturally parted to the sides, and his eyes were more arrogant and dangerous than the arrows.
The arrow flew off the bowstring, whistling and shooting straight into Wen Ruyun's hair bun!
Wen Ruyun was stunned.
Wen Xingluo looked back, joy welling up in her almond-shaped eyes, "Fourth Brother!"
The maroon horse galloped towards us like lightning.
Xie Shian pulled the reins, and the Saker Falcon landed steadily on his shoulders.
He dismounted, took a closer look at Wen Xingluo, and raised his eyebrows with a carefree expression, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and our sweetheart Ningning is getting more and more beautiful!"
His good brothers gathered behind him and laughed in unison:
"Smell my sister's beauty!"
"During the days we were away, has Sister Wen proposed marriage?"
"Thank you, what do you think of me—"
Xie Shian laughed in anger and whipped the man with a horsewhip, "Go to hell! Don't try to hit on my sister!"
Amidst the clamor, Wen Xingluo smiled and said, "Grandmother has already prepared a welcome banquet for Fourth Brother at Wansong Courtyard. Are you coming home now?"
"Let's go! I'm telling you, I've been craving the jujube paste cakes from my grandmother's yard the most these days!"
Seeing them about to leave, Wen Rufeng pulled up Wen Ruyun, who was slumped on the ground, and shouted angrily, "Wen Xingluo!"
