Chapter 3 Sister and Brother Talk to Heart

Zhiyuan came out of the study and went straight to his sister's embroidery building. Hui Niang's close-fitting girl was happy to see the young master coming and hurried upstairs to report. Zhiqin sat happily in the small living room downstairs and waited. After a while, Xiaoxi accompanied Hui Niang to walk downstairs quickly. Zhiyuan got up and looked at his sister with a smile. Hui Niang was so happy to see her younger brother. Although she didn't know the reason, she was also happy from the bottom of her heart. Since my mother passed away, my second mother helped me, and my younger brother hasn't laughed like this for a long time. He took his brother's hand and sat down together and asked with a smile, "Qiyuan, what's the matter today? Are you so happy?"

"Sister, the day has come for us to come!"

Zhiyuan is only real in front of his sister. After all, he is only 16 years old and still a big child.

"Just now, my father called me and my brother Zhiqin to the front hall, and the big shopkeeper was also there. My father announced in front of the big shopkeeper that I would take over the business of the Yan family from tomorrow!"

Hui Niang was very happy to hear this. After thinking about it, I was sad again. Zhiyuan saw his sister's expression and asked doubtfully, "Sister, why are you unhappy? I took over the business of the Yan family, and we will no longer be bullied by Er Niang and Zhiqin's younger brother!"

Hui Niang raised her head and looked at her brother carefully. The younger brother looks very much like his mother. When his mother was there, he never suffered any grievances. But later, she was regarded as a thorn in the side by Er Niang, and she was thorned in the flesh and made trouble everywhere. It is rare that he is a good child who can bear hardships. With a tenacity, he has made a difference in the salt industry. After these trainings, he is much more mature than when his mother first left.

Hui Niang said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, if my mother knew it, she would laugh when she saw that you had today!" When it comes to his mother, there are tears in Zhiyuan's eyes. My younger brother and sister are weak, and what I can do for you is very limited. Now that my father can keep his promise, I am relieved. Be careful in the future! If you can get ahead, it will be in vain for your sister's painstaking efforts!"

Zhivyuan listened to his sister's brainless words and became more and more confused. He asked urgently, "Sister, what's wrong with you today? Are you hiding something from me?"

Hui Niang looked at Xiaoxi and said with tears in her eyes, "Xiaoxi, go to the kitchen to see if there is any glutinous rice lotus root. I want to eat it now." Xiaoxi answered and went out. Hui Niang walked to the door and gently closed the door of the small living room. When he came back and sat side by side with Zhiyuan, he slowly explained to Zhiyuan with tears.

"I will go to Peiping with my father in a few days."

Zhiyuan asked urgently, "What are you doing in Peiping?" Why don't I know?"

Hui Niang gently wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief before continuing to say, "Brother, don't worry, listen to me!" Now Lord Huang has done something wrong, and the Yan family has lost its backer. The new transshipment envoy is from the King of Yan. My father discussed with me a few days ago that he wanted to take me to visit the King of Yan.

Hearing this, Zhiyuan suddenly understood everything. He stood up from the chair and shouted with tears in his eyes, "Sister, you can't go!" If this can take over the business of the Yan family, I would rather not.

Hui Niang also stood up, grabbed her brother, and cried, "Zhyuan, you don't want a child's temper!" What about the Yan family if I don't go? What should you do? How does my mother close her eyes? I've also thought about it. This is the best way! I'm the only daughter of the Yan family. Who else can go if I don't go? Zhiyuan, I just hope you can get ahead, and it won't waste my painstaking efforts!"

After saying this, Hui Niang cried and knelt down solemnly and looked at her younger brother. Seeing this, he also knelt down and cried with his sister.
