Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 26 News
Wang and Mrs. Du talked about the arrangements for the next year.

Xiao Huaisu stayed in the closet beside her with her two cousins, and everyone stared at each other, speechless for a while.

It was Du Yanyi who spoke first, and he smiled and took out a walnut from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Huaisu, "Cousin, see if you like it?"

Seeing Du Yanyi's face offering treasures, Du Yanyun pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

Du Yanzhao shook his head helplessly, this younger brother may not grow up, but he is free-spirited, and the family would be very lonely without this treasure.

On the contrary, Du Yanyu pointed with a little surprised, "Hey, isn't that..."

"Third cousin, what is it?"

Xiao Huaisu glanced at Du Yanyu with a smile, but instead she shut her mouth and didn't speak, she just smiled and motioned for her to take it with her eyes.

Looking at Du Yanyi's cautious expression, he thought it might just be for food, Xiao Huaisu put the walnut in his palm and looked left and right, and felt something strange in it, so he broke it lightly.

Seeing this, it really surprised her a lot!
This is a small miniature sculpture. The walnut is actually an empty shell, but in the inner shell, there are landscapes, forests, gazebos, boats, fishermen fishing, and even the stone steps up the mountain road are carved in every detail. Chengjing, although the technique is still a bit rough, and the details are not handled well, but the characters are lifelike, very delicate and lovely.

Xiao Huaisu held it in his hand and looked left and right, he liked it very much in his heart, he couldn't help looking at Du Yanyi, "Second cousin, did you make this yourself?"

Du Yanyi scratched her head embarrassingly, "I carved it, if my cousin likes it, you can take it!"

Du Yanyun was holding his breath a long time ago, and now he squeezed Xiao Huaisu's hand with a smile, "Cousin, you can keep it, the walnuts carved by the second brother, we all have the walnuts, if you don't keep it, he will be angry !"

Du Yanyi glared at Du Yanyun, then turned anxiously to Xiao Huaisu, "Cousin, don't listen to her nonsense!"

Xiao Huaisu smiled, and carefully closed the walnut, before solemnly thanking Du Yanyi, "Thank you second cousin, I like this miniature walnut carving very much!"

Du Yanyu also clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, the second brother is really good at carving, and he also made the bird map in my room!"

Du Yanzhao cleared his throat at this moment, and said in a warm voice: "Second brother likes to play with these gadgets on weekdays, but he doesn't pay attention to his homework at all." But he is lucky to be liked by his cousin!"

"Big brother!"

Du Yanyi yelled at the side, but he could only listen to Du Yanzhao's teachings. Who told him that he really didn't have the slightest interest in learning?
Thinking of the twenty big characters that would be handed over to Mrs. Wang for inspection every day in the future, he felt a headache!
Xiao Huaisu covered his lips and smiled, but he gained a new understanding of the Du brothers and sisters.

Du Yanzhao looked weak and delicate, but his eldest brother was full of majesty, at least Du Yanyi didn't dare to refute half a point in front of him.

Du Yanyun is smart and smart, and Du Yanyu is also innocent and cute. Being with these children, even her mood has become a lot younger unconsciously.

Brothers and friends respect each other, sisters love each other, this is at least a good start.

Xiao Huaisu smiled and took a sip of jujube tea. The tea was warm and sweet with a hint of sweetness. It was very suitable for digestion after a meal. She swept her eyes and inadvertently heard the conversation between Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wang.

Although their voices were extremely quiet, she still heard certain words, such as "Xiao family", "county head", "marriage", etc., she knew what it was after thinking about it.

Xiao Huaisu's face slowly darkened, and his fingers holding the sweet white porcelain tea Gu tightened.

Sure enough, as soon as the Du family left, the Xiao family hurriedly organized the wedding banquet. Also, the county master Gaoyi's belly is almost unbearable. If you don't take advantage of the hot filial piety to complete the wedding, if you miss it, you will have to wait another year .

If not, the Du family would not be able to use this matter to manipulate the Xiao family and let them give up their custody rights.

But thinking about it, Xiao Huaisu still felt a little uncomfortable.

Originally, she just wanted to stay out of the matter, but as she got closer to the Du family, she seemed to really blend into it, and her emotions and emotions also unknowingly rose and fell with Xiao Huaisu's identity.

After all, people are emotional animals. After spending so long with Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wang day and night, she really regards them as her relatives and her reliance in this world.

Du Yanyun noticed Xiao Huaisu's strangeness, she listened carefully, and understood what was going on after a little estimation, she couldn't help but sighed in her heart, then lightly held Xiao Huaisu's hand, and said with a gentle smile: " What is your cousin thinking?"

This question also interrupted Xiao Huaisu's thoughts. She turned her head to look at Du Yanyun. The girl in front of her was smiling, and a trace of care and encouragement flashed in her dark eyes. Although faint, it was like a candlelight in the dark night, which made her feel To a touch of warmth.

Xiao Huaisu shrank his hands, felt the cold fingertips, could not help but clenched his fists slowly, shook his head and said: "Second cousin, I was thinking about whether I could go out and build a snowman during the New Year's Day, but I am afraid of the cold, so this hand Didn't he freeze when he touched the snow..." After finishing speaking, he sighed in self-pity, with a regretful and helpless expression.

But Du Yanyu was attracted by the words of the two people, "What's the point? We don't do it ourselves, let them help you pile it up. You can pile up as many as you want!" He looked excited.

Xiao Huaisu and Du Yanyu chatted about building a snowman, and put the unhappiness behind them. Du Yanyi also listened enthusiastically, and actively joined the conversation team.

Du Yanyun was watching from the side, but the corners of his lips were slightly curled up almost imperceptibly.

It seems that what the mother said is right, this cousin is really a sweetheart, although she is a few months younger than Sister Yu, but she has no shortage of thoughts, so early wisdom, so amazing!

At Xiao Huaisu's age, she definitely didn't have such thoughts. If she grows up in the future, she doesn't know what kind of dragon and phoenix will be amazing!
If the second aunt was watching in the spirit of the sky, she should also feel comforted.

In the outer study room, Mrs. Du was sitting behind a rosewood table inlaid with marble with a heavy face. The back of the wide chair set off his thin figure, but his whole body was like a pine tree. His back was straight and his eyes were closed. It's all radiant in one close.

Du Boyan's clenched fists slowly loosened. He glanced at Du Bowen who was sitting beside him like an old monk in meditation, and then said: "I didn't expect the news to spread so fast. We only entered Beijing on the front foot, and they Is there any good news for the Xiao family?"

Du Bowen let out a "huh" with a gloomy look in his eyes, "The Lord Gaoyi wanted to find a job for the Xiao family brothers, but the emperor temporarily suppressed him for his father's sake, and he will follow them sooner or later." willing."
