Chapter 305 Xiao Siyu was so happy he wanted to take off.
On the way back from the Lin family home, the mother and her two sons sat in the carriage and talked about the Lin family.
"Sigh, I was thinking of finding a son from a scholarly family for your cousin, but I didn't expect your grandmother to arrange a marriage for her so soon," Lin Qin sighed.
"Mom, I think this cousin-in-law is quite good." It's not that Xiao Siyue is saying Lin Dandan is bad, but no matter what, marriage between two families should always be between equals.
Lin Dandan is certainly good, but she comes from a merchant family, and those scholarly families would look down on the daughters of merchant families.
Rather than marrying into that kind of family, being looked down upon, and suffering grievances, it's better to find a family of equal social standing and live a happy life together, so that you'll have confidence even if something happens.
"Yes, the Gu family is quite good." Lin Qin nodded. She knew the importance of marrying someone of equal social standing, but she still had some selfish motives and wanted her family to have a better life.
"Mom, will you blame us for not helping Uncle's family?" Xiao Siyue asked earnestly.
"No, although I am a daughter of the Lin family, I know that your uncle and cousin don't have that much ability. They have already achieved what many people envy." Lin Qin immediately shook her head. Although her family is important, they are not as important as her husband and children.
"Yes, Mother is right. Uncle and cousin are not suitable, but maybe cousin's child will have a better future. Mother, don't worry, we'll take it slowly."
In fact, it wouldn't be so difficult for the Lin family to change their lineage. She only needed to give her uncle's family a formula or grain that would benefit the country and its people, and they could offer it to the Zhou Emperor in exchange for a noble title. However, this would ultimately be just an empty shell and would not be able to provide a solid foundation.
If you want to bring glory to your family, you still have to rely on your own strength.
Take the Xiao family as an example. She offered them so many good things, and of course, these things helped Xiao Qinian and the others a lot. Otherwise, their official positions wouldn't have risen so quickly. But if they didn't have the ability, His Majesty would only give them titles or money, and wouldn't give them important positions.
"Mother knows, I'm already very content." Lin Qin gently pinched Xiao Siyue's nose and smiled tenderly.
"Wow, our Yue'er has really grown up, she knows so much now." Xiao Siyu flicked Xiao Siyue's forehead with his finger and said jokingly.
"Mom, look at my brother, he's bullying me!" Xiao Siyue immediately complained.
"Siyu, you mustn't bully your sister, understand?" Lin Qin rubbed Xiao Siyue's forehead and said sternly to her son.
“Mom, I didn’t bully my sister. We have a great relationship, right?” Xiao Siyu said, looking at Xiao Siyue.
"Hmph." Xiao Siyue snorted coldly, ignoring her brother's perverse sense of humor.
"Are you angry? Don't be so petty. Why don't you bounce it back?" Xiao Siyu immediately began to coax Xiao Siyue gently when he saw her angry expression.
"Really?" Xiao Siyue looked doubtful.
"Really." Xiao Siyu nodded.
"Then lower your head, I promise I won't dodge." Xiao Siyue waved her hand, like she was looking for a puppy.
"I promise I won't dodge." Xiao Siyu cooperated by bringing his head close to Xiao Siyue's face.
Xiao Siyue's eyes lit up, and she immediately curled her fingers, blew on them, and then flicked Xiao Siyu's forehead hard.
With a crisp "?" sound, a red mark immediately appeared on Xiao Siyu's fair forehead.
"Haha, I hit it!" Xiao Siyue laughed happily.
In the past, her older brother always took advantage of her and bullied her. Finally, she got her revenge.
"You're not angry now, are you?" Xiao Siyu rubbed his forehead, secretly sighing. This girl has quite a strong grip.
"Hmph, then I'll reluctantly forgive you. But you can't bully me anymore, understand?" Xiao Siyue lectured arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, I wouldn't dare bully Miss Xiao again." Xiao Siyu nodded quickly.
Xiao Siyue became even more smug, raised her chin and said, "Since you're so sincere, I'm going to give you a gift."
"A gift? What gift?" Xiao Siyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.
"I can't tell you now. I'll give it to you when we get back." Actually, Xiao Siyue had already prepared this gift for Xiao Siyu, but she just hadn't had a chance to give it to him yet.
"Okay, I can't wait."
The two then started talking about other things, chatting happily.
Lin Qin watched the two siblings closely, and felt deeply gratified by their affectionate interactions.
After returning home, Xiao Siyue mysteriously led Xiao Siyu to her yard.
"Miss, you're back." Chun Tao rushed out to greet Xiao Siyue as soon as she saw her return. She hadn't gone out with Xiao Siyue today.
"Okay, Chuntao, bring out the thing I made before," Xiao Siyue instructed.
"Yes, Miss."
A moment later, Chuntao brought over a rectangular box.
After receiving it, Xiao Siyue did not open it, but handed it directly to Xiao Siyu.
"Yue'er, can I open it?" Xiao Siyue was very curious, wondering what kind of gift her younger sister was going to give her.
"Of course, it's a gift for you." Xiao Siyue nodded.
"Then I'll open it now." Xiao Siyu excitedly opened the box and saw an exquisite folding fan inside. The fan had a silver-black handle and a black-gold fan surface, which looked both mysterious and beautiful.
Xiao Qinian immediately picked up the fan and watched with delight.
"How is it? Does brother like it?"
"I love it, thank you Yue'er, you really understand your brother." Xiao Siyu also loves fans, and this exquisite fan is just what he wanted.
"There's an even bigger surprise! Press here." Xiao Siyue pointed to a slightly raised spot on the icicle, which was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
"Hmm?" Xiao Siyu pressed a button lightly upon hearing Xiao Siyue's words, and a row of gleaming silver blades immediately popped out from the top of the fan, startling Xiao Siyu.
"So? Do you like it even more?" Xiao Siyue asked with a smile, looking at the dumbfounded Xiao Siyu.
Xiao Siyu straightened his jaw, which was about to drop in astonishment: "I love it so much, Yue'er, your brother really loves this gift."
What man doesn't love weapons, especially such an unusual gift? Although Xiao Siyu is a scholar, he also has the heart of a knight-errant.
Seeing the surprise in Xiao Siyu's eyes, Xiao Siyue was also very happy. Nothing makes you happier than having your gift appreciated.
"Yue'er, you're so good to your brother. From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say and I'll never bully you again."
"No, please, you should listen to your future sister-in-law," Xiao Siyue quickly refused.
