Across the Market

Chapter 246

Xie Tong escorted Zhu Fu all the way home with his cronies before leaving. Standing at the door of the house, looking at the blacksmith shop with the door tightly closed, Zhu Fu felt sour in his heart and was very excited.

Push the door open and go in, before walking into the yard, I saw my younger sister, Nuan, squatting and playing under the grape arbor in the yard.

I haven't seen her for a few days, but my sister seems to have lost weight again, and her whole body is shrunk into a ball. Zhu Fu only feels that her sister is so weak that it makes people feel distressed.She didn't call her younger sister, but walked lightly behind her, and then saw her holding a branch in her hand, scratching the soil under the grape trellis, and muttered, "When will Second Sister come home? The second sister said that she would take me with her wherever she went. I used to be disobedient and didn't like to study. When the second sister comes home, I will obey her in everything."

Seeing his younger sister being so sensible, Zhu Fu's nose felt sore, and he squatted beside her: "Xiao Nuan keeps her word."

Sister Nuan suddenly turned around in shock, her eyes widened, and she rushed towards Zhu Fu with her arms outstretched.

"Second Sister, you are finally back. Do you know that I want to kill you?" Sister Nuan kept pushing her head into Zhu Fu's arms, rubbing her soft body hard, laughing happily , "Second sister doesn't even know, you are not at home, I eat less food, you see, I have lost weight."

She stretched out her little hands, pinched her own face, pouted and cried.

Zhu Fu picked up his younger sister, touched her forehead with his forehead and said: "Let me tell you, our Xiaonuan has lost a lot of weight. It turned out that I missed my sister. Now that my sister is back, I will give it to you every day." Make something delicious, okay?"

"I just like to eat the dishes made by my second sister." Sister Nuan was so happy that she hugged Zhu Fu's neck tightly with her short arms, and refused to let go no matter what.

As soon as Zhu Xi heard the little sister's voice, he came out from the back room, and when he saw Zhu Fu, he burst into tears and laughed.

"Sister Fu, you are finally back." Zhu Xi was holding a girl in his arms, it was Zhao Kou. The wound on the girl's face was not healed yet, and it was burnt scarlet, but her eyes were very beautiful, rolling around On Zhu Fu's body, he reached out and grabbed her, "Aunt Fu, I miss you too."

Looking at the wound on Zhao Kou's face, Zhu Fu really felt sorry for her. He touched her little face and said, "I miss Sister Kou too. Sister Kou told auntie, are you obedient at home?"

Zhao Kou nodded: "There are obedient ones, Auntie Axi let me eat well and learn to read, and sister Xiao Nuan played with me, I am very happy."

"Sister Kou is so good." Zhu Fu sighed, then put Nuan on the ground, patted her little head and said, "Xiao Nuan took Kouer to play in the room, and the second sister went to the kitchen with the elder sister Make something delicious for you, okay?"

Sister Nuan nodded obediently, and then reached out to grab Zhao Kou's little hand: "Sister will take you to play, let's go inside and play."

Zhao Kou was obviously happy, stretched out her short hand, and hugged Sister Nuan tightly.

"Sister Nuan, I want to play with Brother Shou, he will teach us to read and write." Zhao Kou gently shook Sister Nuan's little hand, "I want to play with you."

"This... this, I can take you to my grandma's house. My grandma likes you very much." After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Zhu Fu, "Second sister, I want to take my younger sister to grandma's house."

"Go." Zhu Fu agreed, "Remember not to run around outside, and stay at grandma's house."

Sister Nuan burst into laughter, nodded happily to Zhu Fu, then took Zhao Kou's little hand and went out the door.

After the two little girls had left, Zhu Fu turned his head to look at Zhu Xi and asked, "Elder Sister, Sister Kou's face... Didn't the Fourth Prince find a famous doctor?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Zhu Xi's face: "I have invited many doctors, but they all said that the burns were too deep. It is not a short-term thing to restore the appearance. Many prescriptions have been prescribed, and they are used every day on weekdays. Take the medicine and apply it. This child is really sensible and well-behaved. In order not to worry her father, she drank such a bitter medicine without even frowning."

Zhu Fu looked in the direction where Zhao Kou left, thinking in his heart that he would definitely find a famous doctor to treat her in the future.

After the two sisters messed around in the kitchen for a while, the smell of rice wafted out. Zhu Xi helped the younger sister, but seeing that the younger sister seemed to have a bad face when she came home this time, he thought about how the elder brother of the Shen family would go to the house a few days ago. I went to Jinling to look for my sister, so I asked curiously, "How did you come back? Brother Shen went to Jinling to look for you."

Zhu Fu's eyelashes trembled, his hands paused first, then he became busy again and said: "I didn't see him, it was Mr. Xie who sent me back, maybe I didn't meet him."

Zhu Xi instinctively didn't believe it, but it was obvious that her sister didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask, but kept the matter in her heart.

Zhu Xi and Zhao Jing's marriage is scheduled for June, because things have happened a lot recently, and when they get married, everything will be simpler.
