Chapter 74: Night Walk in Brocade Clothes (Part 2) Update
When the boy saw that he was stopped, the surprise on his face faded a little, and he looked a little nervous and embarrassed.
Xiying asked him, "Little brother, where are you from, and why are you looking for the young marquis?"
The boy replied to Xiying who asked him the question, "I am Jin Si'er, from Yi Town. The young marquis once lived in my house."
Yizhen, Jin Sier.
Putting this information together, Xiying and Fu Zhener both had guesses.
Liu Ziye originally thought the boy looked very familiar, but after being reminded, he finally remembered that he was Jin Jie's younger brother, who was too shy to say a word when they were dining at the same table three years ago.
"This is Jin Jie's younger brother, let him come over." Liu Ziye said.
Without the obstruction, Jin Si'er felt even more restrained. She lingered in front of Liu Ziye with great restraint and said, "Young Marquis."
Liu Ziye looked at him with a smile. After not seeing him for three years, this boy who was over ten years old had grown a head and a half taller. He was definitely the best among his peers. In the future, he would probably be like Jin Jie, a young man with an outstanding stature, heading towards a height of 1.9 meters.
"Why did you come to Yucheng? Are you here to see your elder brother?"
Jin Si'er shook his head, then quickly nodded.
Xiying looked at it strangely: "Is it or not?"
Liu Ziye recalled how Jin Si'er had been so afraid to speak in front of his elder brother, and he understood a little: "Did you come to Yucheng without telling your elder brother?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Sier looked even more uneasy.
When Xiying saw Jin Si'er's frightened and aggrieved look, she thought of Jin Jie's usual expression, which was as calm as a stone.
Suddenly realizing, "Are you afraid he'll be mean to you? Humph, I'm telling you, Little Fourth, even though your elder brother treats you like a decent friend, he won't dare show any temper or expression in front of our young marquis!"
Fu Zhen'er also understood the clue.
After hearing Xiying say this, and thinking of Jin Jie's two expressions every time he was in front of the young marquis, which everyone could see, he couldn't help but laugh.
He joined in the fun and said, "I can testify."
Only then did Jin Si'er say, "But... Big Brother said he won't let me leave Yi Town without permission."
Xiying stepped forward and patted Jin Si'er on the shoulder, comforting him complacently: "Just follow the young marquis with confidence. We'll see when the time comes. Does Jin Tielian dare to yell at you?"
"Really?"
Jin Si'er looked at Xiying with hope, and stole a few glances at Liu Ziye who was standing next to him.
Liu Ziye was also laughing. Seeing this, he raised his hand and put it behind his head. He staggered with Jin Sier and turned around, and continued to walk towards their destination side by side with him.
Then he smiled and said to Jin Si'er: "Really."
Jin Si'er was led forward by him in this way, and when he heard him promise it in person, he was immediately overjoyed.
Liu Ziye added, "Your elder brother is out on business and won't be in the city these days. Don't worry, I'll take you on a fun trip to Yucheng!"
·
Five days later.
Jin Si'er, who was living in the Xiying Courtyard of the Xiguan Marquis Mansion, saw Xiying rushing back from outside the courtyard.
Xiying stepped forward, took Jin Sier by the hand and walked away: "Come on, Xiao Sier, I'll take you somewhere."
Jin Si'er put down the sword mold in his hand, and without asking any questions, let Xiying pull him out of the yard.
Although he had only been staying at the Xiguan Marquis's residence for a few days, he quickly realized that Xiying was taking him to the young marquis's main courtyard. He couldn't help but feel his heart pounding with nervousness. It was impossible for the young marquis of Xiguan to have personally taken him out every day for the past five days.
Except for the first night they met, and one other time later, Xiying sent people to accompany him at other times.
It seems that the young marquis may be free again today, and I can spare some time to take him out to play again.
Jin Si'er thought about it, and followed Xiying's light footsteps, with an expectant smile on his face unconsciously.
However, after passing through the corridor outside the Young Marquis's courtyard and entering the gate, Jin Si'er suddenly froze in place when he saw the figure standing in the courtyard with his back to him, facing the Young Marquis.
This back figure is tall and habitually straight. The straight shoulders and back look particularly broad when viewed from behind, with thriving muscles and a strong sense of strength.
If it’s not Jin Jie, then who else could it be?
Xiying felt resistance, so he turned around and tried to pull it.
However, he found that the child was only a little over ten years old, and he was unable to move the force he had just used.
He simply asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Hearing him speak, Jin Si'er hurriedly waved and shook her head, her face flushed with anxiety. She didn't dare to utter a word and tried to break free from Xiying's arms and back away.
However, the commotion here has attracted the attention of everyone in the courtyard.
Both Liu Ziye who was sitting on the recliner and Jin Jie who was standing facing Liu Ziye turned their gazes at the same time.
Jin Si'er had already hidden behind the courtyard wall, and Jin Jie could not see anything except the sunset.
Although Liu Ziye only saw half of the figure and the expressions of Xiying and the others, she understood what was going on. She first curled the corners of her lips and looked at Jin Jie, but saw that Jin Jie turned around and looked at her without any concern.
She suppressed the urge to laugh out loud and called out to the base of the courtyard wall, "Xiao Si'er, come here."
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Jin Jie, who was looking at her as usual, dilated his pupils slightly and revealed an incredible look.
Jin Jie was just guessing at first, but seeing the young marquis's smirk as he watched the fun, what was there to not understand?
He half turned sideways and turned his head to look over.
Then he saw his younger brother Jin Sier, who was supposed to accompany his grandfather in Yi Town, hesitantly standing up from the foot of the courtyard wall.
Jin Jie raised one eyebrow slightly, and his eyes fell heavily on Jin Sier.
Jin Si'er only slightly opened his eyelids to take a look at him, then lowered his head deeply, wishing he could bury his face in his chest.
After spending the past few days together, Xiying really likes this younger brother Jin Si'er. She deeply believes that little Si'er is many times better than that cold-faced Jin Jie who always puts pressure on her!
He raised his head and stood up: "What's the matter, Captain Jin? Your brother has come hundreds of miles to see you, and not only do you not welcome him happily, you also want to hit him in front of the young marquis!"
Jin Jie shifted his gaze to look at him and ignored him.
He looked back at Jin Si'er, who was standing hunched over, and said, "Come here."
Jin Si'er still looked a little timid and frightened, but when he heard Jin Jie's words, he immediately took a step forward and walked over obediently.
Xiying wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She could only stare blankly as Xiao Si'er betrayed her in an instant and ran towards his beloved brother.
I'm so angry!
Jin Jie looked at Jin Si'er who was standing in front of him, not daring to look at him, and said, "Look up, I'm honored to meet the young Marquis of Xiguan."
Jin Si'er looked up at Liu Ziye and knelt down on one knee: "Jin Si'er thanks the young marquis for his care!"
Seeing Jin Si'er appear here, Jin Ji understood that the young Marquis of Xiguan must have taken Jin Si'er in his house, so it was impossible for him to drive him away with a cold face.
When Liu Ziye saw Jin Si'er, who had been quite close to him a few days ago, he knelt down and performed this great ceremony under the tyranny of Jin Jie at just one word.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jin Jie disapprovingly.
Jin Si'er was like this, so she couldn't just go up and help him up and tell him not to be so polite. Jin Si'er's problem was entirely with Jin Jie.
Jin Jie accepted Liu Ziye's gaze, and he no longer needed to react or think, as he could understand the meaning behind each of her looks.
He lowered his eyes slightly, turned around, bent down, and placed his arm under Jin Si'er's arm. With a little force, he lifted him up.
Jin Si'er was a little stunned by Jin Jie's sudden action. Before she could recover, she heard Jin Jie speak to her in an unprecedentedly gentle tone: "I asked you to meet the young marquis, not to perform such a formal ceremony. Just speak nicely."
Jin Si'er was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
Liu Ziye stood up with amusement, looked at the two brothers, stood up and patted the back of Jin Sier's head.
"Okay, your big brother is back. How about you stop hanging around in Xiying Courtyard and go live with your big brother?"
She could see that this silly Jin Si'er was indeed afraid of Jin Jie, but he also admired him very much.
If Jin Jie didn't always look cold and distant, Jin Si'er would definitely be very willing to follow him around all the time.
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Jin Si'er's eyes lit up, and hesitantly wanted to see Jin Jie's attitude.
Liu Ziye turned around and said to him, "You don't need to look at him. Just answer me whether you are willing or not."
There was a smile in her eyes. She was half a head taller than Jin Si'er. The way she looked at people with her head slightly lowered made Jin Si'er's heart beat fast again.
He looked back into the pair of bright phoenix eyes and nodded, "I do."
Once his courage was gathered, Jin Si'er couldn't help but say, "I've always been willing, as long as Big Brother doesn't drive me away. I'm also willing to stay in the Xiguan Marquis' Mansion and follow the young Marquis..."
He couldn't continue the rest of the sentence.
Because Jin Jie raised his hand and told him to shut up.
"That's fine." Liu Ziye smiled.
She walked over to Jin Jie again and patted his shoulder with a sigh. "After we go back, I hope I won't hear the news that your brother was scared away one day, right?"
Jin Jie paused, lowered his eyes to look at Liu Ziye in front of him, and promised: "No."
Liu Ziye smiled when he heard this and patted Jin Jie's shoulder with satisfaction again.
After taking the photo, she thought again, these broad arms, bony yet muscular, felt really good to the touch. She couldn't help but pretend to comfort her subordinates, lingering and stroking them back and forth for a few times, vaguely feeling the powerful elasticity for a while, and then reluctantly withdrew her claws.
Jin Jie remained silent and cooperated with her performance.
Xiying was completely unaware of his master's momentary intimate behavior, and only felt that his younger brother Jin Si'er had deeply betrayed him.
It turns out that I was protecting him so much, fearing that Jin Jie would bully him, but before Jin Jie even beckoned me with his little finger, he immediately left me and went to Jin Jie!
He stamped his foot angrily and said, "Well, then I've been protecting you for nothing!"
Seeing Xiying was angry, Jin Sier quickly came to his senses, apologized to Liu Ziye and Jin Jie, and ran quickly to catch up with Xiying who had left after saying something.
Ah Huan and Ah Bi had not returned from their classes yet, so only Jin Jie and Liu Ziye were left in the courtyard.
