The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Song Ruize touched her hair and shook his head gently: "I have official business tonight, you guys eat, I'll come to see you after you're done."

How could Qin Huiyin not know that this was his excuse?

However, he didn't like staying with the Tang family, and she couldn't force him.

"Commander Song, there's a commotion downstairs again." Song Yuheng walked over and said.

Song Ruize introduced to Qin Huiyin: "This is Song Yuheng, you haven't met him yet. Yuheng, this is my sister. Her affairs will be taken care of urgently from now on."

Song Yuheng bowed and said, "Hello, young lady."

"No need to be polite." Qin Huiyin responded, and then said to Song Ruize, "Brother, go and do your own thing! When you are almost done and have time, we will get together again."

"Jiang Qibin brought you here, right? I'll ask him to take you back." Song Ruize said, and called Jiang Qibin, who was waiting outside, to take Qin Huiyin back. "You know where the Tang family is, just take them there."

Qin Huiyin sat in the carriage, watching Song Ruize busy in the crowd.

After not seeing each other for over two years, Song Ruize had matured considerably. In the past, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to send her back to the Tang family. But today, he was thoughtful and considerate of her.

Jiang Qibin sent Qin Huiyin to the door of Tang's house.

The servant guarding the gate recognized Qin Huiyin and immediately welcomed her in.

The Tang family is located quite far away from the Song family. Unlike the Song family which is relatively remote, the Tang family is surrounded by officials' residences, and it is very lively along the way.

The Tang family residence was also very large. The paths in the garden were winding, passing through pavilions, towers, rockery and small lakes. The beams and pillars were carved with exquisite patterns and bright colors. Along the way, there were many servants, and each one was well-behaved.

Can a fifth-rank official live in such a nice house?

She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't worry, young lady. No one says that fifth-rank officials can't live in a large mansion. This house wasn't bought, it was rented. Besides, your family is in business, and that's something everyone knows. Someone once reported this matter to you, and you were severely criticized in court, and even praised by His Majesty. Because of this, the merchants in the capital are full of praise for you. People look down on merchants, but they don't know that every stitch and thread they wear, every food and drink they eat, all pass through the hands of merchants."

"The Chief Censor is responsible for supervising and correcting the behavior of officials. My brother living in such a large house is handing evidence to his political enemies."

"They wanted the handle, so I just gave it to them and let them accuse me, which saved me a lot of trouble." Tang Yichen's voice came from behind.

Qin Huiyin turned and saw Tang Yichen, dressed in official uniform, smiling at her. Like Song Ruize, he had grown taller, his appearance even more handsome and elegant. If Song Ruize were a solitary pine tree, standing on the steep cliff, he was the black bamboo, pure and elegant, transcendent and otherworldly.

My brother has grown up. The noble ladies of this capital are blessed. I just don't know which noble lady has the good fortune to spend her life with them.

Qin Huiyin was admiring her brother's beauty, not knowing that Tang Yichen's eyes were also full of amazement.

Qin Huiyin's appearance was undoubtedly stunning. When she was little, they all knew that the little girl, like a magnolia flower, would be stunningly beautiful once she grew up. But having never seen her in person, they couldn't imagine what she would look like when she grew up. Seeing her full-grown appearance today, they felt that no words could describe her beauty.

Such a beautiful face must be hidden from the future, and those playboys in the capital cannot get their hands on it. You know, there are many nobles in the capital, and there are even more playboys. He must make achievements and get promoted quickly, so that he can have more say in the court, so that he can protect her.

"Brother?" Qin Huiyin waved her hand in front of Tang Yichen. "Why are you in a daze? Is it because we haven't seen each other for too long that you don't recognize me?"

"Do you think your elder brother is stupid?" Tang Yichen knocked her forehead. "It's just that I haven't seen you for too long. For a moment, I felt like I was dreaming."

"Then pinch yourself to see if you are dreaming?"

Tang Yichen pinched her little face: "Does it hurt? Is this a dream?"

Qin Huiyin pretended to be angry: "Okay, you actually pinched me, I will tell Uncle Tang that you bullied me."

"Then brother will ask you to pinch it back." Tang Yichen moved his face closer.

Chen Yu and Zhang Zhen stood not far away.

Since Tang Yichen entered the officialdom, Chen Yu, the servant, also became his follower. He and Zhang Zhen were responsible for civil and military affairs respectively, and they were Tang Yichen's most powerful confidants.

Over the past two years, they had witnessed Tang Yichen's diligent preparations for the imperial examinations, and his eagerness to achieve great things after being assigned an official position. He was always tense, like a taut string. Only today did he feel completely relaxed, as if the breath he had been holding had finally been released.

"Come on, brother will show you your room."

Tang Yichen took her wrist and took her to their new residence.

"Brother, is this house rented?"

Tang Yichen smiled faintly: "I bought it. However, the owner's name is yours, so it is considered your property."

"Mine? But we are a family. Even if the owner's name is mine, anyone can find it out if they check."

"Then let them investigate. My sister is a famous merchant. Is it difficult for her to buy this house with some money? If merchants have no money, then the country has to be careful. That means no one can pay taxes, and the money is in the hands of corrupt officials." Tang Yichen said, "Don't worry, the question His Majesty asked during the palace examination was the one I answered from the perspective of a merchant. The current imperial treasury is empty and is in urgent need of merchant talents. You can show your talents in the capital, and your brother is your backer."

Tang Yichen's room was decorated with elegance and tranquility in mind. Standing in front of the window, she could see the tranquil lake and the colorful lotus flowers planted on it.

"Luwu is in the next courtyard. This house is big enough now, so I've arranged a separate entrance and courtyard for you. After all, you're older now, and it would be inconvenient for you to live together. My father and Aunt Li live in the main courtyard, which is also the largest courtyard. My younger brother and I are closer to them, and you're a little further away, but the environment here is the best, and it's most suitable for you little girls who like to play with flowers and plants. If you don't like it, I can change it for you. This house is all yours, you can live wherever you want."

"Brother's arrangements are the best." Qin Huiyin said, "I like it here very much."

"Call the people in." Tang Yichen shouted outside.

Chen Yu walked in with two maids.

"These two are the maids I arranged for you. You can greet the Second Young Lady yourselves." Tang Yichen said calmly.

"Your servant Zhilan (Sujin) greets the young lady."

"Zhilan and Sujin can both read, so you'll need more helpers in the future. Here are their indentures, I'll give them to you." Tang Yichen handed the indentures of the two to her.
