Chapter 183 Sweet Dates Yu'e

Chapter 183 Sweet Dates Yu'e
In the afternoon, Xiao Langben took a nap under the old locust tree in front of the second gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Suddenly, he heard the girl Yu'e calling him softly.

He mentioned that the kite was stuck on the rockery in the inner courtyard, and asked Xiao Langxiang to rescue it and help him get it down.

But Xiao Jingchuan, who was still a teenager, hesitated in front of the door, thinking of Uncle Jiao's instructions, and was undecided whether he could enter the inner courtyard!

"Ouch!"

"Brother Xiao!"

"Good brother!"

"There's no one around here, come in quickly!"

"It's okay!"

"Come here, old man Xue Zhong. I'll deal with him!"

Yu'e begged, then put her hands on her hips and looked angry, acting like a clever ghost.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Lang held back his laughter, knowing that he had no way to deal with her, so he sighed, made up his mind, gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and finally stepped into the yard again.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do with you, girl!"

While speaking, Xiao Lang looked around very carefully.

After entering the door, the two little ones also bent over and ran quickly to the rockery. They looked like thieves, which was quite funny.

When he arrived at the rockery, Xiao Lang climbed up as Xiao E instructed, took the kite from the top of the rock, and handed it down, successfully completing the task!
"Wow!"

"Great! Brother Xiao is awesome!"

"It's all my fault for being stupid. I couldn't put it right no matter what I did. That's why..."

"what?!"

"Oh no, that's bad!"

"Brother Xiao, look!"

"The kite's wings are scratched!"

“My sister and I spent a long time pasting the butterfly kite.”

When Yu'e saw the kite being taken down, she was very happy.

But when he took it in his hand, he found that it was broken. He felt distressed and frowned again!

Hearing this, Xiao Lang understood. If it was something bought with silver from outside, Xiao E would definitely not be so sad and concerned. It turned out that it was done by her sister herself, which made sense.

Thinking about this, in order to solve the problem, Xiao Lang had no choice but to rush closer to check.

"Oh? What's broken?!"

"Let me see"

"Hey! It's okay, I'll help you fix it and you can play with it again!"

"Wait a minute, I'll send it back to you when it's done!" Xiao Lang comforted him.

Hearing these words from Big Brother Xiao, who seemed to be omnipotent, Yu'e's face suddenly brightened up and she showed a sweet smile again.

But Xiao Jingchuan, on the other hand, was very reserved from beginning to end. Now that he saw that the matter was settled, he wanted to escape quickly to avoid unnecessary complications and trouble.

"Eh!"

"Brother Xiao, don't leave in a hurry!"

Seeing that Xiao Lang had no intention of staying any longer, Xiao E had other ideas in mind and hurried forward to stop him.

"I have something good for you!"

"Brother Xiao, why don't you leave now?"

"Come, follow me!"

This time, without waiting for Xiao Lang to say anything, Yu'e grabbed Xiao Lang's wrist with her tender little hand and pulled him to hide at the back of the rockery!

"Eh?"

"Xiao'e, what good stuff is this?!"

"If I don't leave now and someone sees me, I'll be scolded!"

Xiao Lang was puzzled, but although he said that, his body still let Yu'en pull him.

After a while, the two of them successfully hid in a groove behind the rockery. Yu'e pretended to look around mysteriously, and when she saw that no one was following them, she felt relieved and took out a pink gauze handkerchief from her bosom.

Afterwards, he skillfully unbuttoned the gauze and unfolded it.

moment!

There are a few extra-large candied dates revealed inside!
"ah?!"

"Is this Zao'er?"

"How could it grow so big? It's almost as big as a goose egg!"

"I have never seen one this big before!"

Seeing it, Xiao Lang was very surprised and kept exclaiming in praise.

"Hey, haven't you seen it?"

"I have never seen it before. My father brought it back and said it was a new tribute to the inner court!"

"Look, it's not only big, but also tastes sweet!"

"Hurry! Brother Xiao, eat quickly!"

"Well, here are four, two for you and two for me!" As she said that, Yu'e was afraid that Xiao Lang would not be willing to do it, so she quickly grabbed one with her little hand and stuffed it into her brother Xiao's mouth!

"Aw, wow, no"

Without further ado, Xiao Lang had already stuffed the dates into his mouth, so he couldn't refuse.

For a moment, he and De Yu'e looked at each other and smiled, both of them were very happy.

After a short while, only one of the four candied dates was left!

Although Yu'e is small, she is a big eater. She emptied her little mouth and in a short while, two candied dates were gone into her stomach!

In contrast, Xiao Lang only tasted one.

"kindness?"

"Brother Xiao, don't you like to eat?!"

Yu'e blinked her big eyes and asked with a simple frown.

"Haha, I... I'll just eat one to try. If you like it, I'll give you this one too!"

After saying this, Xiao Lang pushed the other date back to Yu'e.

"no, do not want!"

"Two for Xiao'e, and two for Brother Xiao!"

"Here you go, eat it!"

"I didn't even leave any for you, sister!"

"Let's not tell her!"

While she was trying to refuse, Yu'e stuck out her tongue with a wicked smile. Her delicate and pretty face looked so attractive!

Xiao Lang smiled foolishly and helplessly, and had to wrap the pink silk up again.

"Okay, then, I'll take this back and let Uncle Jiao have a taste of it!"

Xiao Lang is kind-hearted by nature, and Jiao Da has always been very good to him. He also values this kindness very much.

"Hehe, okay, it's up to you!" Xiao'e replied casually.

"Hey! That's right!"

"As the saying goes, it's rude to come back without reciprocating!"

"Here, I happen to have two little gadgets for you to see!"

"Here, look!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang hurriedly rummaged through his sleeves, then grabbed the object in his hand and showed it to Yu'e!
"Oh?"

"Ah! This is..."

"Is it the Luban Lock?!"

Yu'e's interest was aroused by Xiao Lang. When she saw him stretch out his hand to show the object, she quickly leaned over to take a look!
"Yeah, haha, it's the Luban Lock!"

"This Luban lock is nothing special. You and Yuzhen will have plenty of fun with it."

"But these two little gadgets are small and exquisite. I heard from the seller that they are carved from a whole piece of Luanhe stone. They are quite rare and the colors are beautiful too!"

“It looks even better where there’s light!”

"I don't have much money in my pocket. I can't afford to buy you two gold or jade."

"This is a small folk item that I accidentally saw when I went out with Uncle Jiao last time. It's not worth much, so I'll just let you and Yuzhen have a look at it!"

Xiao Lang spoke swiftly, and no one knew how long he had been thinking about these words in private. There was a barely perceptible hint of awkwardness on his face.

Yu'e is a simple-minded person and would not even glance at Xiao Lang's embarrassed expression at this moment.

"Whee!"

"What a beautiful, delicate little thing!"

"Look, it's not even as big as a candied date when I hold it in my hand!"

Yu'e blinked her eyes and took the stone Lu Ban lock from Xiao Lang's hand.

"kindness"

"One is heart-shaped and the other is peach-shaped!"

"Brother Xiao, I want to choose first!"

"I, I want the peach! You can give the other one to my elder sister!"

Yu'e liked it very much and couldn't let it go.

Only then did Xiao Lang breathe a sigh of relief and laugh again.

"Haha, yes!"
