Chapter 29 The Girl’s Thoughts

"Okay, okay, we're here to see my sister-in-law. We almost missed our business because of an ornament." Xiangyue tried to smooth over this small incident. As she spoke, she came to Huanhuan and affectionately put her arm around him.

"What do you want from me, my two sisters?" He slowly placed his hand on Xiangyue's arm, his eyes moving between Xiangyue and Xiangyin.

"Didn't mother ask us to make some clothes for the autumn hunting? I came here specially to find my sister-in-law to go to Yongshengfang together. And Xiangyin has grown a lot taller this year, and she can no longer fit into last year's riding clothes. It's time to make new clothes. Let's go together."

After saying that, Xiangyue paused, looked at Xu Qu and Xie Shen, thought for a moment and said, "Brother Qu and Brother Shen, please come with us. I have arranged two carriages."

"I'm not going." Xu Qu just opened his mouth to say something when Xie Shen came over and grabbed his arm. Xie Shen said with a smile, "Go, go, if you want to go, let's go together! My hunting clothes are old, and I've been thinking about making new ones. Brother Qu, let's go together!"

This time it was Xu Qu's turn to be helpless. He looked at Xie Shen speechlessly, only to see Xie Shen say, "I'll give you another gift. If you take me to Yongshengfang to make some new clothes, it will be a good deal for me and you won't lose out either. It's settled."

Huanhuan, Xiangyue and Xiangyin gently hid their smiles when they saw this. Xiangyue said, "I have already given instructions before I came here. I think the carriage is ready and waiting for us at the gate. Let's set off now."

So the five of them walked towards the gate, talking and laughing.

When she was leaving the door, she tripped over the threshold and uttered an "Ah!", stumbling and almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Xu Qu, who was beside her, was quick to grab her arm and hold her in his arms, so she didn't fall.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Xiangyue and Xiangyin had already walked out of the door. After hearing the noise, they turned around and found Huanhuan half-fallen in Xu Qu's arms. They immediately understood what was going on. The two stopped and turned back to ask about Huanhuan's condition with concern.

Huanhuan felt a little embarrassed, she straightened up from Xu Qu's arms, and said to Xiangyue and Xiangyin, "It's okay, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two sisters." After saying that, she tried to pull her wrist away from Xu Qu's tight grasp.

However, Xu Qu held Huanhuan's hand, looked her up and down carefully, touched her knee, and only let go of Huanhuan's wrist after finding that there was indeed nothing wrong.

Although they were still inside the gate and barely considered themselves inside the house, their cousin Xie Shen and their two younger sisters Xiangyue and Xiangyin were all around them, so Xu Qu's behavior of being so close and caring was a little too bold.

She lowered her head slowly and shyly, while Xiangyue looked at the scene and smiled with interest. Although Xiangyin covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Xu Qu was quite at ease, and continued to walk towards the carriage as if no one was around. Xiangyue and Xiangyin smiled at each other tacitly, then turned and walked towards another carriage. They slowly walked behind them with their heads slightly lowered, a little shyly.

The last person to reach the gate was Xie Shen. He stopped at the threshold and smacked his lips vigorously. The gatekeeper asked him, "Master Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Shen covered his cheek with one hand and said, "It's so sour! Tsk, it's too sour! My teeth are almost sour!"

The servant beside him immediately understood the meaning of this, laughed secretly, and said, "Master Shen should get married soon. After getting married, he can be jealous of others."

Upon hearing this, Xie Shen glared at the servant, took his hand away from his cheek, knocked the servant on the head lightly, and said, "Go away! What do you know, kid!"

The servant cried out "Ouch" and covered his head, and said with a laugh, "Yes, yes, I said too much." Xie Shen snorted, raised his hand to straighten his collar, then flicked his sleeves behind him, stepped over the threshold, and walked out of the gate of Xu's mansion.

Xiangyue and Xiangyin had already boarded a carriage. Xu Qu walked to another carriage and turned around to look at Huanhuan, stretching out his hand to signal her to get on the carriage. Huanhuan put one hand on Xu Qu's hand and lifted her skirt with the other hand. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind her and rushed onto the carriage.

Before Huanhuan could react, she heard Xu Qu's voice: "What are you doing up here?" It turned out that Xie Shen got on the carriage before Huanhuan.

"Oh, there are only two carriages here. Xiangyue and Xiangyin are already sitting in one. I can't sit with them both, so of course I have to get in this carriage to sit with you." Xie Shen was going to ride in someone else's carriage, so his attitude was naturally very good at this time.

"You can go to the stable and get a horse to ride." Xu Qu was not angry, but his tone of voice left no room for doubt.

"I have to walk to the stable and spend time picking a horse, so I can't go with you. That would be so boring." Xie Shen said clearly, "Madam Xu, how about you take the trouble to walk a few more steps and take Xiangyue and the others' carriage?" Xie Shen knew that Xu Qu would not be able to convince him, so he turned to discuss with Huanhuan.

"You..." Before Xu Qu could say anything, he patted his hands and said, "It's okay, Xiangyue and the others and I will be in the same carriage." After that, he turned around and walked towards the carriage that Xiangyue and Xiangyin were riding in.

Xiangyue and Xiangyin had already seen all this in the car, and were waving at her slowly, saying, "Sister-in-law, come over here and sit down."

Watching Xiangyue and Xiangyin slowly getting into the carriage, Xu Qu got on the carriage. Xu Qu didn't say a word along the way. Xie Shen, knowing that he was in the wrong, looked at Xu Qu cautiously and didn't say a word along the way.

Huanhuan, Xiangyue, and Xiangyin were chatting and laughing in the carriage, which was very lively. The laughter was heard in Xu Qu's carriage, which made Xie Shen lift the window curtain from time to time to look at the other carriage. However, if he knew what the people in that carriage were talking about, he would not be so eager.

"It's true, sister-in-law, I didn't lie to you. Brother Shen has been like this since he was young. Every time he comes to our house to play, my brother always scolds him. Even my uncle often says that Brother Shen is only a few months older than my brother Qu, but he is inferior to my brother Qu in every way. He should take my brother Qu as an example and learn from him." Xiangyue said this with a little pride.

Huanhuan looked at Xiangyue with a smile and agreed, "Really? It turns out that they have been so interesting to each other since they were young."

"Of course, Xiangyin, tell me, is this the case?" Xiangyue shook Xiangyin's arm beside her.

Xiang Yin, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this moment: "I see that Cousin Shen always deliberately makes everyone laugh, and his actions and words are always just right, never out of line or inappropriate. This is also a kind of great wisdom in disguise."

Xiangyue was a little dissatisfied after hearing this. She looked at Xiangyin and said unhappily: "I found out that you always side with him!"

Xiangyin said nothing after hearing Xiangyue's words, but just lowered her head slightly.

Huanhuan was a little surprised after hearing Xiangyin's words. She was surprised that Xiangyin was so observant and thoughtful at such a young age. Also, when Xiangyin lowered her head, a shy blush seemed to appear on her cheeks, which made Huanhuan feel that her previous guess was confirmed.
