Chapter 6 Huanxi Brother's Good Sister
"Brother is lying." Xie Shuang pulled Yun Xi over angrily, complaining, "I came to Jing Xing Zhai after talking for a while, look at what time it is, let us wait."

"It's my fault." Xie Heng smiled, always good-natured, "I brought a lot of new gadgets from Shangjing, and I asked Xichi to send them to the courtyard. When the time comes, I will let the younger sisters choose first. Sorry."

In a word, Xie Shuang instantly burst into a smile, "I knew that big brother treats us the best."

Xie Heng shook his head helplessly, then looked at Yunxi who was beside him, "It's been a long time since we saw each other, how is Sister Yuan doing now?"

Yun Xi nodded obediently, "It's already done, Brother Lao is concerned."

"That's good." Xie Heng raised his eyes, glanced at the sky, and said warmly: "It's windy outside, sisters, let's go play in the house. After the banquet, I will take my sisters to the garden to release sky lanterns."

The sky lantern is a sky lantern, and it is said that you can send your wishes to the gods in the sky.

Needless to say Xie Shuang was delighted, even Yunxi lowered her eyes and curled her lips.

They are all good sisters of Brother Huanxi.

Xie's family was originally from a high-ranking family. It started in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and many people came from their ancestors.

Four generations and three princes, it can be said to be a moment of glory.

It's just that it is declining day by day, but in the end, where the family is, it is not a noble that ordinary people can compare with.

What's more, now that there is another cousin girl from Qingzhou, everyone in the family is happy, so they work harder.

The delicacies and delicacies are extremely luxurious.

Yunxi doesn't drink, and Xie Shuang couldn't stand the constant urging, so she pretended to have a few sips.

Unexpectedly, when I went to the garden, the smell of alcohol was on my head, and everyone I saw had double shadows, and I was very drowsy.

For a while, I didn't care about putting up the sky lanterns, so I just sat crookedly under the eaves of the corridor.

Xie Shuang couldn't help joking when she saw it, "Your sister has only drank so much, and she's already drunk like this."

"My sister still said it." Yunxi pretended to be annoyed, but his voice was limp, and his words lost momentum, "If it wasn't for my sister insisting that I drink it, how could it be like this. Now I can't even light the sky lantern."

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. May I have someone send you back to Tangluo Garden to rest for a while?"

Xie Shuang looked around, because of the New Year's Day, the servants in the mansion were all on leave, and they didn't know where to hide in corners to drink and gamble, even Qingwu and Yun Xi sent them out to play.

"I'll take my sister back."

Xie Heng came over, and explained again, "Don't play too late, go to grandma's place after the sky lantern is set off."

Mrs. Xie has many rules, and on this day, the younger generation must accompany her to watch the year.

Xie Jue naturally agreed.

*
The garden is in the outer courtyard, which is far away from Tangluo Garden. The road is winding and winding, and there are many corridors to pass through.

Fortunately, the girl has always been well-behaved, and she is quiet when she is drunk, lying on her back silently.

"Brother Xingzhi."

When approaching Tangluo Garden, Yun Xi suddenly said, "I didn't go see off my father, will he be angry with me?"

Her voice was also soft, mixed with the faint smell of wine, "I didn't do it on purpose, my grandma was already sad when my father and mother left. She has always been in poor health, and I don't want to make her worry anymore."

"How could it be?" His voice was also soft, "My sister is filial, we all know it."

Ahead is a promenade where you can rest your feet.

Xie Heng walked up slowly, put the girl down gently, turned around again, took something from her sleeve and put it in her hand.

Yun Xi spread out her hands, and in her palm lay a cypress leaf.

Maybe it's been a long time since I picked it off. Although it's still green, it's already withered.
