Younger Sister Sun's face was as red as a flower blooming in the clouds under the sunlight. Her large eyes, as clear as spring water, were filled with endless affection as she stared at Ye Xiaotian.
A woman's sixth sense is an innate ability bestowed by the heavens, especially when it comes to feelings. Just like how a bird builds a nest, a bee makes honey, a chicken hatches eggs, or how a baby knows to look for food the moment it is born. Even someone as thick-skinned as Zhan Ning 'er could tell that Sister Sun was not ordinary.
She looked at Sister Sun, then turned her head and looked at Ye Xiaotian thoughtfully.
Ye Xiaotian slowly stood up with a solemn expression. "Ah! Miss Ning 'er, this lady is … "
Zhan Ning 'er curled her lips and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "I know her!"
Ye Xiaotian pretended to be enlightened and said, "That's right, you guys have already met in the Miao Birth Forbidden Area. Haha …"
Zhan Ning 'er rolled her eyes and said teasingly, "But what I don't understand is, isn't Sister Sun your goddaughter? How did she become your godsister?"
Ye Xiaotian said seriously, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Actually, I am only the godfather of Sister Sun's younger brother, not Sister Sun's godfather. "
Zhan Ning 'er gently put down her chopsticks and slowly crossed her hands. Her eyes glanced up and looked at Ye Xiaotian. She said slowly, "I don't understand. What should your godson's sister call you?"
"Call him brother! Right, Brother Tian! " At the crucial moment, Yao Yao spoke up. This little brat had long found Ning 'er an eyesore. At this moment, she purposely interrupted and helped her Big Brother Little Tian. Ye Xiaotian stroked Yaoyao's hair and said emotionally, "My Yaoyao is still the sensible one."
Sister Sun did not hear the secret war of words between Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning'er. She called out, and like a happy doe, she gracefully leapt between the stones on the edge of the pond, circled to the entrance of the Listening Rain Pavilion, and walked in briskly. She smiled at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Little Tian ge, I'm back!"
Ye Xiaotian said, "You're back. Haha, what a coincidence. Come, come, come, sit down. The banquet has just begun, let's eat together. "
"Hey!"
Sister Sun readily agreed and took out a silver necklace from her bosom. She handed it to Yaoyao and said, "Come, Yaoyao, this is the gift that I promised you. I specially asked the best silversmith in our stronghold to make this. See if you like it."
"I like it!"
Yaoyao took the silver necklace with a beaming smile and said sweetly, "Come! Sister Duo Ni, sit down, let's eat together. " As Yaoyao spoke, she happily put the silver necklace around her neck and played with it.
Hua Yunfei, who was originally sitting next to Qian Qingqing, immediately moved his chair and added another chair. Sister Sun thanked him and sat down on the chair.
Ye Xiaotian coughed and said, "Uh, Duo Ni, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly. Actually, this residence is already more than half built. There are only a few finishing touches left. Why are you still rushing back and forth? It's so tiring, I feel bad. Actually, you can just stay by your master's side. "
Sister Sun had just picked up her chopsticks when she heard this. Her eyes widened and she explained very seriously, "How can I do that? Little Tian ge's residence is so big, someone has to help take care of it. Little Tian ge is an official, he can't take care of these things himself."
Zhan Ning 'er's face became darker and darker. Ye Xiaotian glanced at her and quickly looked away. He said to Sister Sun, "Oh! That's not a problem. I've already asked someone to help me find some servants. Later, I'll choose some honest, hardworking, and mature servants. Then, there will be someone to take care of this house. "
Sister Sun was puzzled and said, "But … Little Tian ge, didn't you tell me to move to your house a few days ago before you moved up the mountain?"
As soon as this sentence came out, even Mr. Winter, who had always been a little slow to deal with the undercurrents between the children, stopped his chopsticks. Qian Qingqing glanced at Ye Xiaotian ambiguously, while Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi looked at each other and immediately buried their heads in the rice in their bowls.
"Big Brother, we really can't help you. You're on your own!"
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly explained with a pale face, "No! I'm talking about that period of time. At that time … "
Ye Xiaotian suddenly realized that he couldn't explain clearly no matter how he tried. He grabbed the wine cup and forced a smile, "Come, come, come, let's drink! Let's drink! Everyone, let's drink! "Ye Xiaotian tilted his neck and downed the cup of wine. Sigh! This wine … it's a little bitter!
… …
While Ye Xiaotian was struggling, in the west of Gourd County, a light carriage under the protection of nearly a hundred armed knights was about to set off.
When Tian Binfei learned that his sister was ambushed on the way to Gourd County, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry. He immediately put down everything and personally led nearly a hundred brave knights trained by the Tian family to Gourd County to personally escort her back to Guiyang.
Tian Miaowen originally wanted to stay in Gourd County for a while longer to understand the political structure of the place, especially if the Bozhou Yang family only had Zhao Wenyuan as a chess piece. Although Gourd County was important, it was insignificant compared to the overall layout of the Tian family.
As the leader of the Tian family, she obviously couldn't leave Guiyang for too long. Moreover, her eldest brother had always been domineering, especially when it came to her safety. Tian Binfei would never allow her to continue risking her life. Therefore, Tian Miaowen cleverly chose to obey.
Tian Binfei was wearing a light cyan riding outfit. Compared to his usual refined and elegant appearance, there was a hint of a swift and fierce heroic spirit in him. Gently tapping the copper buckle on the saddle with his horsewhip, he looked at Register Wang and Xu Boyi who were standing at the intersection with a hint of impatience.
Tian Miaowen boarded the carriage. When she stepped on the pedal, she turned back to Xu Boyi and said, "Don't forget what I told you. If you can't do this well, then you'll have to fend for yourself in Gourd County!"
Xu Boyi's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I won't let you down again!"
Tian Miaowen faintly nodded and walked to the carriage. A pretty maid stood in the carriage, using her arm to guard the door. When Tian Miaowen entered the carriage, the maid immediately followed and gently closed the door.
The coachman lashed the whip in the air once, 'pa!' he snapped the whip. Four majestic yellow buckskin horses moved their bowl-sized hooves and pulled the carriage onto the official road leading to Guiyang.
Tian Binfei glanced at Register Wang and Xu Boyi. He shook his horse's reins and protected Tian Miaowen's carriage as it galloped away.
The carriages stirred up some dust. Register Wang and Xu Boyi stood respectfully on the road. When the carriages moved further away and the dust settled, Xu Boyi said to Register Wang, "Official Wang, from now on you and I will be working under the Tian Clan. Please take care of me in everything."
Register Wang said without batting an eyelid, "We are both working for the Tian Clan, but that doesn't mean I have to work for you."
Xu Boyi smiled and said, "Of course I understand this. It's just that if I can secure my position as the district magistrate, I will be able to cooperate sincerely with Official Wang. Even Hua County Magistrate will have to bow to you and me. If Ye Xiaotian gains power … I'm afraid Official Wang will not want to see such a situation, right? "
Register Wang raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Boyi, said, "What is Official Xu's plan?"
Xu Boyi's eyes flashed with an unconcealable hatred, "Of course to get rid of this black sheep."
Register Wang said indifferently, "Ye Xiaotian is not someone easy to deal with. If you don't kill a snake, you will be harmed instead!"
Xu Boyi said, "Then grab him by the seven inches and beat him to death!"
Register Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "Official Xu already has an idea?"
Xu Boyi took a step forward and whispered a few words to him. Register Wang squinted his eyes and stroked his beard as he thought for a while. He looked at the carriages that had turned into a black line at the end of the official road and nodded lightly. Xu Boyi said happily, "Official Wang has agreed?"
Register Wang said indifferently, "I'm old. I can't do things like pushing people down a well."
Xu Boyi's expression suddenly changed. Register Wang said slowly, "However, there's no harm in dropping a few stones once in a while!"
Xu Boyi roared with laughter and said happily, "That's enough!"
Register Wang didn't say anything else. He boarded his carriage and ordered, "Go back to the city!"
Xu Boyi watched as the Registrar Wang left. His eyes flickered slightly. He also untied his horse from under the tree, pulled the saddle and mounted the horse. He whipped the horse and galloped towards the countryside …
…
Ye Xiaotian ate the meal as if he was sitting on pins and needles. When the banquet was finally over, he asked the cooks to serve as servants to clear the plates and bring up a few cups of this year's new tea. Before he could take a sip of the tea, Law Tycoon rushed over.
"Aiya! Big Brother, you're not a good friend! You're moving to a new house and gave out invitations to all the officials. Why did you forget to inform me? I only heard this from Arrester Su. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark. "
Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed. Just when he felt the atmosphere was stiff, this clown came. It was good to have him to liven up the atmosphere. Otherwise, he would feel as if he had done something guilty. Sandwiched between the naive Sister Sun and the jealous Miss Zhan, it was really rare.
Ye Xiaotian stood up happily. Before he could say anything, Law Tycoon, who barged into the pavilion, spoke again, "Yo ho! I say, Big Brother, why didn't you inform me? You actually have so many beautiful ladies here. Wow! This lady is full of heroic spirit. She's tall and elegant. What's this lady's surname? Eh, she looks a little familiar. "
Zhan Ning 'er, "…"
Law Tycoon turned to Sister Sun and clapped his hands. He laughed, "Ha! Isn't this Sister Sun? I haven't seen you for a few days and you've become so beautiful. Look at your happy expression, just like a new bride. Could it be that your heart has moved? "
Sister Sun, "…"
Law Tycoon then turned to Qian Qingqing, "This lady's lips are red and her eyes are clear. Although she's dressed as a man, it doesn't hide her beauty. If she wore a skirt and a hair bun, I'm afraid that even the most beautiful ladies in the entire Gourd County would turn into dust. My Big Brother is really capable. The most beautiful ladies in the entire Gourd County are all in his house."
Qian Qingqing, "…"
