After the old steward stepped back tactfully, Yin Hui invited Wei Luo to enter.
There were rows of bookshelves in Zangshu Pavilion, and the collection of books was arranged in an orderly manner. The name of each category was hung on one side of each bookshelf, such as the collection of classics and history.
Yin Hui deliberately walked behind Wei Luo, so she would follow wherever he was interested.
After wandering around the first floor, the two went to the second floor, where the collection of books was even more precious, and there were even batches of calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.
Wei Luo’s pace finally slowed down.
After staying for two or three quarters of an hour, Wei Luo only took five books, flipped through them for a while, and then put them back.
Yin Hui silently wrote down the titles and locations of those five books.
After lunch, Wei Luo took Xiao Heng and left first.
Although he left, he left Chang Feng for her.
Smart people acted cautiously and would not blatantly offend powerful families, but those who were stupid were prone to impulsive and impulsive mistakes.
The Yin family was divided into two houses, the eldest brother’s house was her and Yin Lang, one weak woman and the young kid. If the second brother’s family really wanted to come up with some stupid trick, how could the siblings resist it?
Yin Jingshan and Mrs. Zhao lost their smiling faces after a meal. After sending Wei Luo away, the couple’s complexion finally sank. Just as they were about to attack Yin Hui, they saw a tall man with a cold face standing behind her with a sword at his waist. He was obviously a guard.
The guard of the third master, the guard of King Yan’s palace.
The couple put away their anger in a hurry, and decided to endure it.
“Father, let’s talk about the adoption tomorrow, shall we?” Yin Jingshan said with a smile on his face.
Yin Yong nodded.
Mrs. Zhao said to Yin Hui, “Ah Hui, I want to talk to you.”
Hmph, if the family enters the hall and the guards stay outside, she would close the door. Even if she dared not beat the damn girl, she would scold her!
Yin Hui smiled, “Grandfather, Uncle, I am going to talk to my second brother first. I will pick a yard for him in the east courtyard.”
Yin Yong said, “Go, do what you should do. Tomorrow morning, we will just talk about it here. I’ll be free for half a day.”
Yin Hui then called Yin Lang, and returned to the east courtyard under the guard of Chang Feng and Jinzhan.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, but the cold winter air was still bitter. Yin Hui stopped suddenly while walking.
Yin Lang also stopped immediately. Two steps away from her, meeting Yin Hui’s gaze, the young man lowered his eyes a little embarrassedly.
The siblings seldom saw each other, and they didn’t know each other, so it was inevitable that they were unfamiliar.
Yin Hui came to him, squeezed his arm, frowned and said, “Aren’t you cold with so little clothes on?”
Yin Lang looked at his sister’s skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, and said in a low voice, “It’s okay.”
The harsh treatment he received was hidden in the dark, such as the lack of charcoal fire in winter, and the thin winter clothes. Fortunately, he was used to it.
Yin Hui had witnessed the desolation in the young man’s room with her own eyes, and couldn’t bear to think about the hardships he faced. So she turned to Jinzhan and said, “Go to Uncle De, and ask him to arrange for two young men, one to go to Jinxiu to get some sets of winter clothes and the other to ask Uncle Zhou to come and see me.”
With that order, Jinzhan left.
Yin Hui and Yin Lang walked side by side.
“Ah Lang, do you still have feelings for my second uncle and the others?”
Yin Lang: “No.”
He answered simply. Only after he finished speaking did he feel worried. Would his sister think he was too indifferent and ruthless?
But Yin Hui just smiled at him, “It’s for the best. I was really afraid that you would be bound by filial piety and fraternal duty. Ah Lang, our parents passed away early, and I am also married. From now on, you will be the heir to the eldest brother’s family of the Yin family. You are also the owner of the east courtyard. I hope that you will remember your identity, hold your head upright and be an upright person. Don’t bow your head to anyone else in the Yin family except grandfather, can you do it?”
Yin Lang looked at his recognized sister.
The elder sister was very beautiful, the bright sunshine fell on the elder sister’s face, and her smile seemed to be warm too.
Yin Lang also smiled unconsciously, “Sister, don’t worry, I can.”
He used to be alone. No one cared about whether he lived, but it got different, he had an older sister, and for the sake of her desire to help him, he also wanted to live as a better human being.
Yin Hui saw the young man’s gratitude from the bottom of his heart. But her purpose of helping Yin Lang was not purely kindness.
“Do you know why I wanted to help you?” Yin Hui asked as she walked.
A blush suddenly appeared on Yin Lang’s pale face due to long-term cold exposure, and he was embarrassed by the fact that his sister had witnessed his misery.
Yin Hui patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the plants and trees in the east courtyard, and said, “Not only do I feel pity for you, I have my own selfishness. You know better than me about my second uncle and aunt’s true face. Grandfather trusts my big brother, but I don’t believe him. The east courtyard is my home, and the Yin family is also my natal family. I don’t want to entrust my home to someone I don’t trust.”
Yin Lang looked at her in astonishment.
He never thought that the elder sister, who seemed weak, and asked the third master to come over to support her, actually had the thought of the entire Yin family in her heart.
Yin Hui smiled softly, “Ah Lang, do you dare to compete with the elder brother?”
At that moment, Yin Wen’s hypocritical face appeared before Yin Lang’s eyes.
“Dare.”
“That’s good. In the past, the second uncle and the second aunt were in the way, and the grandfather couldn’t see you. Now that you are the son of my father, grandfather will treat you differently. You have to seize the opportunity.”
“Yes,” the young man’s answer was short and powerful, and while Yin Hui was satisfied, she thought of Wei Luo.
Wei Luo was also a man of few words, but he was outstanding when he was on a job.
She hoped Yin Lang would do the same.
The author has something to say:
Later, the third master accompanied Huihui back home, and Yin Lang was in charge of entertaining his brother-in-law.
Yin Lang: Brother-in-law, sit down.
Third Master: Yes.
After a while, the two began to drink tea.
Soon, a tall stack of bowls was piled up on the tea table of both of them.
