Chapter 45(1/2)
Something different
Qin Shen took the initiative and bought three of the most expensive river lanterns, but he didn't bring a penny with him.
But Fu Wen still can't be found.
Qin Shen had never encountered such a scene again, and could only watch the little girl pay herself.
But her expression that had fallen just now was gone, her thick eyelashes were trembling like feather fans, her lips were pursed, but the corners of her lips were raised high.
Qin Shen couldn't help but ask her.
"But laughing at me?"
After saying that, the smile on her little face became even heavier.
Qin Shen knew the answer to this question without her having to answer.
He had to explain, "I was anxious when I came out."
But she asked again, "Why is brother so anxious?"
Qin Shen didn't answer, his eyes lightly passed between her eyebrows. She just shed tears, and the funny scene passed before her eyes.
"Ahem," Qin Shen turned around with the river lantern in hand, "Let's put the lantern on."
When he didn't say anything, the little girl tilted her head and glanced at him.
Qin Shen cleared her throat, then she pursed her lips and turned her head away with a smile.
What a narrow-minded person who specializes in making fun of others.
Qin Shen had no choice but to see others putting blessing notes in, so he also asked her.
"Why don't you write something?"
Qin Tian just didn't have the mood to write, so when he asked, he turned back to the stall and wrote a sentence.
Qin Tian folded the yellow paper for blessing, but she didn't expect her brother beside her to ask her.
"What did you write?"
"How can you say this?" Qin Tian said, "Don't you mean that the words to pray to the gods will not work when you say them?"
Qin Tian didn't say anything, but called Qin Shen, "Brother, why don't you write one?"
"I?"
Qin Tian pointed to the three lanterns, "Three river lanterns, brother, don't you also want to put one in there?"
Qin Shen didn't mean this at all. He glanced at her and said, "It's a little girl's thing."
Before he finished speaking, the little girl in front of him asked him softly.
"Don't my brothers like the things that little girls play with?"
She had never choked him like this, but today she choked him so much that Qin Shen curled up his lips.
"of course not."
"Then brother, just choose a river lantern that you like."
Qin Shen: "."
Of course Qin Shen would not choose the rabbit lantern, and the gorgeous pomegranate lantern was not among the options. He reluctantly chose the complicated lotus lantern and wrote a piece of yellow paper with a wish.
Now it was Qin Tian's turn to be curious.
"Brother, what did you write?"
Qin Shen smiled but did not answer.
This made the little girl feel itchy even more, and she rolled her eyes.
"No, brother, why don't you and I look at each other instead? This way it doesn't count as being said out loud."
It can also satisfy her curiosity, right?
She is really smart and smart.
Seeing her eyes full of curiosity, Qin Shen laughed even more, folded his yellow prayer paper and put it in the river lantern.
"No change."
After saying that, he looked at her from the corner of his eye and saw that the little girl had a confused and regretful look on her face, muttering in a low voice.
"If I had known, I would never have thought that my brother would be so stingy."
Qin Shen:?
He glanced at her, and the little girl laughed.
"I'm just joking, brother, don't be angry."
After she finished speaking, she put her pomegranate river lantern into the river.
Qin Shen also let it go, and with a push along the current, the two river lanterns drifted away, one behind the other.
There was only one little rabbit lantern left, and Qin Tian was reluctant to put it into the water.
"Brother, do you want to let him go? If not, I will take him back."
Of course Qin Shen followed her wishes, but suddenly called her.
"Tiantian."
Before tonight, he had almost never called her by her nickname, and only called her "girl" in front of others, but today he called her by her nickname more than once.
Qin Tian looked over and suddenly heard his low voice asking her something.
"Why don't you call me brother?"
This question was really beyond Qin Tian's expectation.
Mrs. Qin mentioned something last time. She didn't take it seriously at that time, but she didn't expect that he would take it seriously.
Qin Tian didn't answer for a while, and Qin Shen's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Is this title reserved exclusively for others?"
His voice became lower and lower, and his mood was a little light. Qin Tian didn't quite understand, but he also didn't know who the "other people" he had been talking about tonight were.
"But would it be disrespectful to call me brother?"
She entered the Qin Mansion with such an embarrassing identity and attitude, and her first acquaintance with him was full of misunderstandings. At that time, she could not call him "eldest brother", she only dared to call him "brother", and never called herself "little sister"
", both are "Qin Tian".
Even now, Qin Tian is very grateful that his mother and brother are willing to accept her, and he does not dare to indulge himself too much.
Just like today in Xifeng Pavilion, his sudden change of attitude made her hesitate, and she could only re-examine her identity and behavior.
How could she dare to call him "big brother" as close as a sister?
She asked this question gently, and Qin Shen immediately understood what she meant.
He looked at the little girl quietly, and the candlelight of the river lanterns on the river in the city flickered in her eyes.
Qin Shen is the legitimate son of the Qin family, and his mother is the wife of the royal family. Since he came down from the mountain, he has been the eldest son of Qin that everyone expected.
Concubine, superiority and inferiority, these things do not exist in his life.
But she's not.
Her life experience is completely unknown to her. She doesn't even know who her mother is.
Qin Shen suddenly blamed himself.
"How could that happen?" He lowered his head and looked at her.
"As long as it's you, I will never be disrespectful."
As long as it is you, I will never be disrespectful.
Each word fell steadily into Qin Tian's ears.
Qin Tian was stunned.
But those words came out of his mouth so firmly, as if they were opening up a path for her, only allowing her to step forward, and opening it only for her.
When she first moved into Liefeng Mountain House, she felt that she had siblings. At that time, it was just her own feeling.
And now, it was him who gave the certainty.
"Brother."
She tried to scream very softly.
On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, the smoky smell of mugwort leaves spreads along the wind to every corner of the city.
Young girls in Zhou's city, who were guarded by officers and soldiers, gathered in twos and threes by the river to play and play.
The noisy voices of people are like the river in the city filled with river lanterns, bringing the excitement of the day to its peak.
But Qin Shen couldn't hear anything, only the words "big brother" she called in her soft voice.
To be continued...
