After a short rest in the restaurant, Ling Jingxuan carefully told several footboys to take good care of the little buns, and said hello to Shopkeeper Wang and asked him about the location of Baiyunge, he, Yan Shengrui, Ling Jingpeng and Zhang Qing parted with Zhao&Han couple who wanted to walk around here.
“Guys, come and see. What is this? So funny!”
Zhao&Han couple shuttled in the crowd with a large group of children. Ling Wu who would stop whenever he saw anything that aroused his interest stopped before a stall that sold pinwheel this time. The pinwheels of different colors instantly attracted him. Ling Wen who had been closely following him also showed a slice of yearning for it under the eyes. But as long as he thought he had to pay for it, that little yearning also was nowhere to find, with his little hand quietly pinching the little pouch around the waist. The money he took with him was used to buy stuff for grandpa, grandma and others.
“Does you like it, Xiaowu? How about I buy you one?”
Ling Wen wouldn't want to spend money, but it didn't mean Chu Yan also wouldn't. To him, nothing was more important than making his younger brothers happy.
“Hmm…forget about it. Daddy will scold me.”
Giving the last look at the pinwheel, Ling Wu shook his head, decided to move on. That kind of colorful things were really good, but no practical use. Although he was not as stingy as his elder brother, he would never be that kind of person who would dip into his purse.
“Hehe…Uncle Ling would only blame you if you don't buy. All right, I can buy for you if you like. One for each of you! Just for fun!”
With a smile, Chu Yan pulled him back and then turned to the peddler, “How much is it?”
Seeing that he not like a childe from a rich family, his silk clothes were also not some common family could afford, the peddler hurriedly put on a big smile, “One copper coin each! How many do you want?”
“What? One copper coin for this? Why don't you be a robber?”
“Well…”
On hearing the price, Ling Wen subconsciously cried out, but instantly realized that they were in the streets, so his small face instantly reddened, the peddler blackened his face, standing there and not knowing how to respond. Having been doing business for so many years, this was the first time he met such kind of little customer.
“Ahem. Six, please. One for each.”
Pretending to make a cough to try to press down his smile, Chu Yan took out six copper coins out of his pouch. He had long heard that Xiaowen was stingy, and only wished he could cut one copper coin into two to spend, and also often nagged Uncle Ling because of money, but never had a chance to see it with his own eyes. After he saw it today, he was so deadly amused.
“OK, no problem, wait a moment.”
After coming to his sense, the peddler received the money. And Ling Wen who had just made a dram quietly pulled a corner of Chu Yan's robes. Only after Chu Yan bent down he said by his ear embarrassedly, “Brother Yan, just buy each for them, not me.”

That was too expensive! Even if it was not his money, he still couldn't afford it.“Hehe…Never mind. It's rare that we can come to the county together. Except teaching you, I guess I have never sent you any gifts. So, take it as my gift for you. What? Don't you want my gift for you?”
Squatting down to flatten his hair, Chu Yan said so gently. He liked those two younger brothers most. Compared with those brothers who only wanted his life, they were more like his blood brother. As long as he had the ability some day, he would definitely package all the best things in the world and offer it to them.
“All right, then.”
After a moment's hesitation, Ling Wen finally nodded in agreement, Chu Yan dotingly touched him, then took the pinwheel from the peddler and handed it to him. Finally Ling Wen had a smile slowly spread on his face, “Thank you, brother Yan.”
“Thank you, brother Yan.”
Also receiving their own pinwheel, Ling Wu and Tiewa also smiled at him, the other three little footboys also respectfully bent down, “Thank you, Childe Chu.”
“You are welcome. You can play with it, but what you steps. Don't get tripped.”
Waving his hand, Chu Yan still didn't forget to nag them. After a OK in unison, the few little buns gathered together to study their pinwheels, apparently they didn't put his nag in the heart at all. Chu Yan smiled and followed behind them, in case of any accident.
“Sorry to cost you so much, Childe Chu.”
Han Fei who was step slower to pay caught up with them with a reddened face. Just now, when he saw that those kids all wanted it, he meant to buy one for each of them. But the pouch got tied too tightly, when he took out the money, Chu Yan had already paid.
“Don't say that, Uncle Han. They all call me elder brother, I should buy them some little things.”
Chu Yan might be still young, he knew that except Yan Shengrui, the three Yan brothers and Zhang Yang who often went to consult him, others were still kind of estranged from him and his father. It was not that they couldn't accept them, but too respectful, or you could say too careful, so it gave him some kind of estranged feeling, even though he had always abided by the etiquette and never done anything to show he was superior to others.
