They happened to arrive at a pavilion where charcoal had been burning, tea and seasonal fruits were prepared, and the entire pavilion was hung with thick blankets to keep out the cold wind.

"Hey," Zhao Minghao helped his sister sit down and poured her tea while saying, "Little Brother Lin is at the right age to meet someone."

Lin Siyu's ears turned red when she heard this, but she still looked troubled. "I'm only nine years old, how can we even talk about looking at each other?"

"It's just that those people came to visit my parents, and brought their little girls with them. How can I play with little girls? I might as well come out to find the boss."

After hearing the last sentence, Mingyue couldn't help but sigh that Lin Siyu was still a complete lackey.

Zhao Minghao was very pleased and patted his shoulder seriously, "Don't worry, except for my sister, I can help you get any woman in this world as long as you like her!"

"I worship you, I worship you!" There were twinkling lights in Lin Siyu's eyes. The boss is still so good to me!

Mingyue also took the opportunity to express her opinion, "Second Brother Lin, if you have someone you like in the future, I will help you pursue them! I'm a girl so it's easier for me to get information! If you have anything, just tell me!" As she said this, she patted her chest.

Although Lin Siyu didn't have a lover yet, she felt a little embarrassed by the way they acted, as if she was about to marry the woman she loved in the next moment.

"Oh! That's right!" Mingyue suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhao Minghao, "Second brother, do you, uh-huh, have a girl you like too?"

Lin Siyu also nodded and moved closer. The three little heads were close together, and the maids around them consciously took a few steps back.

Zhao Minghao, an eight-year-old boy who said, "I have no love in my heart, only the martial arts world," was shocked. "You, you, how did you see that?"

Lin Siyu and Mingyue looked at each other and thought there was hope!

"No, what are you two looking at? Don't insult my reputation!" Zhao Minghao stood up in a flash.

"Ah?" The two fat guys in front of him both showed surprised expressions. After all, there was no sign of Zhao Minghao's shyness or anger at being exposed. They were full of disbelief.

"Brother/Boss, then you..." the two said in unison.

Yue: "You speak first."

Yu: "Sister Mingyue, please speak first."

Yue: "I'll speak first!"

Yu: "Then I'll go first."

"Hey, wait, wait," Zhao Minghao quickly stopped Mingyue from pressing forward and separated the two of them, "Sister, go first, sister, go first."

Mingyue angrily slammed the table and glared at Lin Siyu, "Humph!"

Then he looked at his brother and said, "Brother, do you remember what you sent me in November?"

Zhao Minghao knew his sister was angry, so he replied very obediently, "Yeah, of course I remember. How could I forget about our big baby..."

Before he could finish, Mingyue spoke first, "Do you remember Sister Jiaqi's birthday?"

Although I didn't know why my sister suddenly mentioned outsiders, I still answered seriously, "Yes, I remember. Li Jiayuan, oh, Yang Jiayuan mentioned it in the letter."

Zhao Minghao pinched his chin, as if recalling what happened at that time. "I was thinking about your birthday, he also gave you some nice things. It's her sister's birthday, so as a brother, I have to show some appreciation, right?"

"Oh, so you are doing this to repay a favor?" Mingyue blinked.

He nodded. "By the way, did you like the little gadget I sent you back then?"

"Are you talking about pottery figurines?" The image of the hairpin-shaped figurine appeared in his mind. "It's quite beautiful. Although not as exquisite as those in Beijing, it's still quite unique. I guess it's a Fujian specialty."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her second brother, only to find that he looked like he had lost his soul, with a bitter expression on his face. "You said, you said that the figurine you got was a terracotta figurine? The red one? The one with the flower in the hairpin?"

"Yes~" Mingyue thought he was confirming whether he really liked it, and quickly praised it to show his affirmation, "It's quite beautiful, I like it very much, thank you, second brother~"

"Then, then, is that the red coral that Yang Jiaqi received?!"

Mingyue nodded. She originally planned to ask her brother why they were treated differently, but she didn't expect that her brother would have such a "vomiting blood" expression when he mentioned this matter.

Seeing the boss's slumped shoulders, Lin Siyu realized something was wrong. He supported Minghao and said, "Boss, isn't this the pottery figurine you sent to Mingyue? Did you mix up the gifts for the two sisters?"

"Ahhhhhhh, I want to kill Wu Xiaoliu. Turns out he was waiting for me here! This insidious villain!" Minghao yelled.

Mingyue squinted her eyes and covered her ears with her fingers. She waited until her brother had finished going crazy and calmed down before she released her fingers.

She pulled Minghao's hand and said, "Second brother, are you okay?"

"I'm sorry! That red coral is so expensive. It cost me almost two years' pocket money. I originally wanted to give you something new, but now... I'm heartbroken!" Zhao Minghao covered his heart, as if it would break at the next moment.

Mingyue didn't know how to comfort him, so she tried to divert his attention. "Then, second brother, who is this Wu Xiaoliu you just mentioned?"

As expected, he immediately cheered up and sat up straight. "That villain! I just bought the coral before him, and this guy actually stabbed me in the back! He stole the show and switched the two gifts!"

"No wonder I saw him sneak out of my carriage that day and didn't bother me for several days. I thought he was so naive! If I don't deal with him when I get back, I won't be named Zhao!"

It turned out that the truth was this. Mingyue and Lin Siyu thought that the second brother/eldest brother fell in love with the other person's sister, but it turned out to be a big misunderstanding.

Zhao Minghao was heartbroken and angry at this moment, and he couldn't let it go for a long time.

Mingyue and Lin Siyu sat beside him and accompanied him to "drink to drown his sorrows". After drinking cup after cup of tea, it was not known whether Zhao Minghao was drunk from the tea or was really drunk, but in the end he fell asleep in the pavilion.

After waking up, he was beaten up by Zhao Yunshan again, "You kid! You drank alcohol secretly, didn't you!" Although his son didn't smell of alcohol, he looked like he had woken up from a hangover.

"No, Dad, I just drank tea, please don't disbelieve me, hey, hey, sister, come and testify for me, ouch, it hurts..."

Zhao Yunshan didn't kill him, he just gave him a simple beating.

Mingyue was about to burst out laughing outside, "Mother, I think my second brother must have passed out from drinking tea."

Jiang Mengrou smoothed the hair on her forehead and said, "Your father knows this kid. Whenever he's upset, he likes to make tea and imitate adults drinking. But he has a special physique. If he drinks more than five cups of tea a day, he will faint."

"Is this true? How come I didn't know about this?" It was the first time Mingyue heard of someone fainting from drinking tea.

"I suddenly discovered this more than half a year after I came to Minzhou. The accompanying imperial physician also warned me not to let him drink more than three cups of tea. After that, he either drank plain water or the honey water prepared by your aunt." Jiang Mengrou couldn't help laughing when she thought of this.

"So that's how it is!" Mingyue kept this in mind.
