sisters

July is already midsummer.

The lotus in the pond in the backyard of Dingguohou's Mansion is full of flowers.

There are several peach trees planted beside the pond, and the fruit on the peach trees is already the size of a fist.

Zhongli Ruoshui walked by the pond, reached out and picked a reddish peach, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket to wipe it, and then gnawed it down.

Her little nose shrugged, feeling a little sour, and she needed to wait for a while.

Instead of throwing away the peach, she turned around with a smile and looked at a little girl who was following her.

This little girl is about four or five years old.

There are two soaring braids on her head, and a pair of big watery eyes on that round face are looking at the peach in Zhongli Ruoshui's hand.

She gulped and licked her lips with her little tongue, "Sister, Ruohua wants to eat peaches!"

The sound is like an oriole, which is pleasant to the ear.

Zhongli Ruoshui leaned down and handed over the peach that she gnawed, "Sister, the peaches that grandma planted are delicious! You must eat them up, don't throw them away!"

Zhongli Ruohua nodded her head vigorously, "Ruohua won't throw it away, grandma said it's shameful to waste it!"

She took the peach from her sister's hand, Zhongli Ruoshui rubbed her head, and she happily gnawed it down...

Then, her small brows gradually wrinkled together, and her big eyes narrowed into a slit.

"ah..."

"My sister didn't lie to you, it's delicious!"

Zhongli Ruohua blinked his eyes, "...good, delicious!"

"Sister, Ruohua wants to eat candy!"

"Oh," Zhongli Ruoshui took out a caramel candy from his sleeve pocket, and pushed the paper away. Zhongli Ruohua happily stretched out her chubby little hand, but unexpectedly saw his sister throw the candy into herself mouth!

She opened her small mouth slightly, looked at it in surprise, and then heard her sister say again, "Grandma once said that it's not good for children to eat too much candy!"

"Sister is for your own good, eat less sugar and more peaches, be good!"

Zhongli Ruohua cried "Wow..."!

"I don't want my sister to treat me well, I want candy...I want to find my mother!"

Jian Wu standing aside couldn't stand it any longer, this is a real sister, why does this older sister like to bully this cute little sister so much?

She was about to walk over when Zhongli Ruoshui grabbed Zhongli Ruohua's little hand, and she squatted in front of Zhongli Ruohua, "I agreed not to cry. If you cry again, I won't take you to pick her up." Li Chen is safe!"

Zhongli Ruohua's crying stopped abruptly.

While wiping her tears, she choked up and said, "If Hua doesn't cry, Ruo Hua is going to see Li Chen'an!"

"Of course my sister will do what I promised you... eat this peach!"

"Sister, peaches are not good!"

"It's okay not to eat, then go to practice!"

"...Sister, practicing is very hard!"

"Look, this is your fault. Although you are still young, you still need to make some choices yourself!"

"Reading, practicing martial arts, eating peaches, you choose one, don't regret it!"

Zhongli Ruohua's tears welled up in her eyes, and after a while, she suddenly said, "You bully me, I will snatch your Li Chenan when I grow up!"

Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes widened, Zhongli Ruohua gnawed at the peach, his cheeks bulged, and his brows were furrowed, "I want to ask elder brother to help me!"

She gnawed the sour peach bit by bit, murmuring vaguely, "I still want my second elder brother to help me too... and mother... I remember this peach... Zhongli Ruoshui, I will avenge this of!"

Zhongli Ruoshui immediately laughed, "Look, can you compare his poems?"

Zhongli Ruohua shook his head honestly.

"So, if you want to rob him, you have to study! Study hard! Only one of the most talented women in our Ning country will be able to be found!"

"...I don't want him anymore! Give it back to you, I don't want to study!"

"You," Zhongli Ruoshui wiped the tears on Zhongli Ruohua's face with a handkerchief, she stood up, took the remaining half of the peach in Zhongli Ruohua's hand, and threw it into the lotus pond.

She took Zhongli Ruohua's little hand and walked slowly along the lotus pond.

"My sister can't practice martial arts. This is a great regret in my life."

"Grandma said that you are a good seed for martial arts, but you just can't bear the hardship."

Zhongli Ruohua glanced at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Practicing martial arts is not fun!"

"It's not for fun... Well, you don't understand even if I tell you, let's go and see grandma."

"No!"

"...then go see grandpa?"

"Not going either!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Catch Cicadas and Dragonflies!"

"..."

After all, Zhongli Ruoshui didn't bring Zhongli Ruuohua to see his grandparents, the two sisters sat in the gazebo beside the lotus pond.

She kept looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, thinking about the second letter from Li Chen'an she received a few days ago, with a look of joy on her face.

In that letter, Li Chenan said many things that happened in Guangling City.

For example, the peach blossom wine sold well, but he did not immediately expand the scale of the winery.

For example, he became the rudder owner of the Fish and Dragon Society, and he is recruiting troops to make the Guangling sub-rudder bigger and stronger.

For another example, when Yang Sixian arrived in Guangling City, the two planned to kill Liu Zhuo at Linfengdu.

etc.

Zhongli Ruoshui didn't care about these things originally, but she found it very interesting when Li Chenan wrote it.

Of course, what she was most looking forward to was the sentence at the end of the letter.

Li Chenan said that he would set off for Yujing, the capital, in roughly mid-July.

It's July 28th, and I don't know where he went.

Zhong Li Ruo Hua was a bit bored.

She was sitting on a stool, her short legs dangling.

She kept looking at her sister, and found that the expression on her sister's face had changed, and she even turned slightly red.

"Sister, you're missing Li Chen'an!"

Zhongli Ruoshui turned his head and glared at Zhongli Ruohua again, but Zhongli Ruohua said again, "I just thought about it, grandma said that the people in Zhongli's mansion dare to love and hate!"

Just as she finished speaking, a voice suddenly came, "Young granddaughter is right!"

Zhong Li Ruo Hua was shocked immediately, he turned his head to look, but he didn't see him, but saw a sword flying towards him.

She cried again with a "wow..."!

Her chubby little hand stretched out at that moment, but it was clenched into a small fist, and then she stretched out two fingers, pinching the tip of the sword accurately.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"I don't want to practice swords!"

An old woman in gray linen came over.

Zhongli Ruoshui hurriedly got up and prostrated himself on the ground, "Grandma!"

"Get up, why are there more and more rules?"

Saying this, Fan Taohua looked at Zhongli Ruohua who was still crying and laughed.

"Knife, gun, sword, you choose one!"

"Ah... I'd better choose the sword!"

"That's right, go practice."

Zhong Li Ruo Hua walked away crying all the way without love.

Zhongli Ruoshui poured a cup of tea for Fan Taohua, looked at her little sister's back, "Is it...is it too strict?"

"Whether it is reading or practicing martial arts, there is no such thing as easy."

"Yang Sixian has returned to the capital, and the story of Li Chen'an's killing of Liu Zhuo has spread in the capital."

"The matter between you and Li Chen'an...is also spread in the capital."

"It's not a good time for him to come to Kyoto at this time!"
