Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 570: Chapter 345: The Onlooker Sees Clearly (Part 2)

After speaking, he left directly, those steps, slightly hurried.

He didn’t even give Jiang Yu and Xiaomi a chance to speak.

The siblings glanced at each other, and Xiaomi blinked.

”Big brother, do you think Liu Ze might have written to Uncle Liu and Aunt Qian to have them prepare the betrothal gifts and matchmaker, so that when we go home, they can directly propose?”

Jiang Yu nodded: ”It’s very possible.”

To be honest, seeing Liu Ze, who is usually gentle, being unusually anxious and nervous, does indeed feel a bit novel.

Xiaomi stroked her chin as if deep in thought: ”Speaking of which, big brother, do you know how Liu Ze and second sister actually got together?”

”Ouch!” The next second she covered her head, glaring angrily at Jiang Yu: ”Big brother, you’ve hit me three times today!”

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes: ”You deserved it, what, you think second sister isn’t good enough for Liu Ze?”

Xiaomi grinned: ”No way, second sister is so good, she can manage both the living room and kitchen, even the Emperor himself would be a good match for her.”

Then she turned her words around, grinning as she looked at Jiang Yu: ”I’m just curious, big brother, do you know how it happened? There must be some reason for them catching each other’s eye, right?”

Jiang Yu pretended to ponder: ”Speaking of which, I don’t really know why either, but I did find something in Liu Ze’s room.”

”Huh? What is it? Did second sister give Liu Ze something?” Xiaomi immediately leaned closer, eagerly looking at her brother.

Jiang Yu shook his head: ”I’m not sure about that, but there is a small box in Liu Ze’s room that he treasures very much, and I’ve secretly looked inside before.”

”What is it, what is it? Could it be some embroidery work done by second sister?”

”Not exactly.” Jiang Yu’s expression turned strange: ”To be honest, it seems to be a small piece of jerky, particularly dry, and it must be from a long time ago. It’s not edible anymore.”

Xiaomi was stunned, then disappointed: ”No way, Liu Ze seems like such an elegant person, why would he cherish a piece of jerky?”

Additionally, she really couldn’t connect a small piece of jerky with second sister.

About this, Jiang Yu was also unclear, but it was undeniable that Liu Ze had some vague feelings for Xiao Xue from quite some years back.

The siblings couldn’t figure it out, so they didn’t delve deeper. After all, the two of them have mutual feelings, that can’t be wrong.

”By the way, what’s that in your hand? I haven’t seen it before, did Miss Yingying give it to you?”

”Me?” Xiaomi was puzzled, following her brother’s gaze to see that he was talking about the string of beads on her wrist.

”You’re talking about this? This wasn’t given by Sister Yingying, it was given to me just now by my little brother, he said it’s for warding off evil.”

She even shook her wrist: ”What do you think, does it look good? My little brother said he made the small beads himself with a carving knife when he was bored, it’s really impressive how he can make them so round with a knife.”

Jiang Yu’s face twitched, it took him a long time to roll his eyes exaggeratedly.

”I’ve always thought you’re usually pretty clever, you managed to hit the nail on the head with second sister and Liu Ze’s situation, almost scaring Liu Ze into a panic, but when it comes to yourself, how did you suddenly get so dumb?”

”Huh? What did you say, big brother?”

”Big brother, Auntie said she’s stewing chicken for lunch, she wants to know if you want some.”

A voice came from the doorway, Wei Ziang smiled as he looked at Jiang Yu.

”Eh? Big brother isn’t picky with food, why is mother asking? By the way, little brother, I forgot to ask you, how did you feel about the exam this time?”

Jiang Yu, feeling uneasy under Wei Ziang’s gaze, looked at the oblivious expression of his sister, and stood up directly.

”I just remembered I have something to do, I’ll head back to the room first.” He said and left in a hurry.

Xiaomi found it baffling and was a bit puzzled: ”What’s up with big brother, he stayed here for so long without recalling he had something important to do.”

Wei Ziang took the opportunity to enter the room, pushing aside the two brothers’ teacups from earlier and poured two fresh cups of tea.

”Maybe something just came to mind temporarily, oh Xiaomi, didn’t you want to ask about the exam?”

”Yes, was the exam paper different from the last time? How did you feel while answering it?”

Xiaomi’s attention was indeed diverted immediately.

The last time Jiang Yu and his peers finished their exams, they wrote down the questions for the two to see, which was why Xiaomi asked.

Wei Ziang laughed: ”Of course it’s different, if every exam had the same questions, wouldn’t all the students later on be able to get in?”

”But there were some questions we indeed haven’t learned yet...”

Although Xiaomi didn’t attend the academy and never delved into the Four Books and Five Classics or their essays, Wei Ziang explained simply enough that she could follow along.

Jiang Yu, who hadn’t gone far, turned back, seeing the two chatting happily, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

Then he scolded himself, as the older brother, how could he let Wei Ziang, that little rascal, intimidate him again.

However...

Thinking about the string of beads on Xiaomi’s wrist.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed last year on their way back from Nanyang Prefecture he had seen Wei Ziang fiddling with a carving knife.

One couldn’t deny, Xiaomi had one thing right.

Being able to carve something so smooth and round, that little rascal was really impressive.

After taking one more glance, Jiang Yu shook his head and turned around to leave.

A bystander sees more, that’s definitely true without a doubt.

Xiaomi, being so smart, saw through everything clearly when it came to Liu Ze and Xiao Xue, and even managed to scare Liu Ze into losing his composure with one remark.

But when it was her own situation, she couldn’t see it at all.

Then Jiang Yu snorted, he was curious to see how long Wei Ziang’s slow and steady approach would last if no one enlightened him.

Thinking this way, the shock he experienced earlier was immediately calmed.
