Chapter 23 "Sugar Pills"

Lvqi giggled, took the jade hairpin she handed over, and only then saw that there was a small porcelain vase in her left hand.

It's just that I have been holding it in the palm of my hand before, so I didn't see it.

"what is this?"

Luqi asked curiously, seeing her open it, Gululu poured out a small pill and put it in her mouth again.

The bitter taste of the medicine spread along the lips and teeth, and Yunxi's expression remained unchanged, "It's the sugar pill that my brother gave me just now."

"Sugar pills?" Lu Qi became even more curious, and poked her head over to look, "Is there any more, girl? I want to taste it too."

Yun Xi knocked on her with a smile, "Why are you so greedy? Do you want to taste the poison?"

But in the end she couldn't stand her watching, Yunxi shook his head helplessly, dropped the porcelain bottle, and poured it into the palm of his hand.

Nothing was poured out, and the inside was empty.

"No more." She lied to her with a flushed face and heartbeat, "You came too slowly, I was bored waiting for you, and finished eating without paying attention."

He laughed and teased again, "Next time I see my brother, I will ask him for some more to feed you greedy cat."

Lu Qi was ashamed by her and stomped her feet angrily.

The two returned to Tangluo Garden, and Qingwu came over to serve Yunxi undress.

She didn't pay attention to the darkness in the garden just now, but now she realized that it was the moon-white fox fur cloak that she took off in the light.

"How do you get this?" Yun Xi couldn't help frowning.

"Didn't the girl like this fox fur cloak the most on weekdays?"

Qingwu smiled, turned around and put the cloak on the rack, "I also said it was the eldest son's wish, so I should wear it more for him to see. I heard from Luqi that the girl was talking to the eldest son, so I asked her to take this one."

"What's wrong?" She felt something was wrong, and turned to ask Yunxi, "Did you take it wrong?"

"No." Yunxi shook her head, thought for a while, and told her, "Don't put it on the shelf, I won't wear it in the future, just put it away."

"Young lady don't like it?" Qingwu's tone was a bit regretful, he touched the fox fur on the cloak and said with emotion: "Such good fox fur is rare."

"No." Yunxi denied it, and then explained specifically, "You also said that it was brother Xingzhi's intention. I was afraid that if I accidentally broke it while walking, it would be bad, so I'd better put it away. Naturally, the intention should be kept properly. It is."

"That's true." Qingwu didn't doubt him, took the cloak off the rack, folded it carefully, and put it away in the cabinet.

Shelved.

In the next month, Yun Xi never saw Xie Heng again.

After the birthday banquet, he and Xie Jue went to the academy, and brought books and clothes with them.

It is said that it will be Qiu Wei in a few months, so I have to study at ease, and then I will stay in the academy to save the trouble of traveling.

Mrs. Xie couldn't persuade her, so she had to let them go, but after talking about it, she said: "The academy is poor, and the food is also very casual. How can there be a family that is careful and considerate."

So he ordered people to prepare snacks and food, ready to send them.

In the past, Yunxi would take the initiative to take such errands and go with Xie Shuang, but this time she tied her veil and refused to go.

Xie Shuang leaned over and asked eagerly, "My sister won't go, so why don't you let me go alone?"

He laughed and teased her again, "It's fine if the big brother and the second brother don't see each other, but what about the Xu family brother?"

Yun Xi turned her face away and ignored her.

Xie Shuang then pretended to say: "Okay, then I will go by myself. When Xu's elder brother asked, I said that my sister was sick, so I couldn't come. I told him not to worry. It's not because I didn't want to see him that I didn't come." of."

The handkerchief in Yunxi's hand was already twisted into a ball, his face blushed when he heard this, and he threw the handkerchief into Xie Shuang's arms.

"I don't care about my sister anymore."
