Standing behind her, the Eldest Heir Bai Xuanmo and the Third Young Master Bai Yaoyu both clenched their fists at the same time. Bai Xuanmo squinted slightly, his tone low and cold: "I thought our sister was only close to you, but it seems she prefers our fourth brother more." Bai Yaoyu pressed his thin lips tightly together, and after a moment said: "What Zhi’er likes to eat, our fourth brother buys her three portions of it — one to eat, one to save, and one to play with. Do you think she likes him or not?" Bai Xuanmo’s dark eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to say: "Then let’s call a temporary truce." Bai Yaoyu nodded. They both hadn’t gained the utmost trust and favor from their sister, so there was no need to compete over who was her favorite brother. They walked over to see the fourth son, Bai Daoyan, with a gentle and elegant smile, appearing noble. "Zhi’er thinks of Fourth Brother so much, and Fourth Brother thinks of you just the same." "As the new year begins, your brother has a gift for you," Bai Daoyan spoke in a warm and mild tone. After saying this, like performing a magic trick, he pulled a seal out of his sleeve. "Take it," Bai Daoyan placed it into the little one’s hand. Bai Zhi’er raised the square seal to look at it in the sunlight. The upper part of the seal was engraved with a Phoenix Perching in a Parasol Tree, and the lower part had the words: Dao Yan Shede. The little one curiously asked, "Fourth Brother, what do these words mean? And what is the seal used for?" Bai Daoyan explained with a smile: "I often think about how to give you silver, so that you always have money to spend at any time." Last time, when Bai Zhi’er was trying everything possible to earn money, it really made his heart ache! "In the end, I decided on this method with the seal. Even on a blank piece of paper, if Zhi’er stamps it with this seal and takes it to the nearest bank, you can exchange it for as much silver tael as you want." "All the silver comes from Fourth Brother’s account. Whatever amount you need, you can have it. Dao Yan, that’s Fourth Brother, and Fourth Brother is always willing for Zhi’er to spend money, so it’s Dao Yan Shede." After speaking, Bai Daoyan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Does Zhi’er like this gift?" Besides Bai Zhi’er, the three other heirs present were all to varying degrees, astonished. The usually stingiest Fourth Brother actually entrusted such a thing to Bai Zhi’er! Doesn’t this mean that one day, when the little one feels like it, she could clear out all his silver? Bai Zhi’er fluttered her long, thick eyelashes. She was a bit puzzled: "Fourth Brother, but what if one day this seal gets lost and someone else picks it up?" Bai Daoyan remained unconcerned: "The way to use it, I’ve only told you. Even if someone else picks it up, it’s of no use." "Then what if someone knows how to use it and, though they can’t steal it, quietly makes a counterfeit one?" Bai Zhi’er tilted her little head. Bai Daoyan remained calm: "A good seal requires good jade. The piece I prepared for you is carved from Jingshan Jade." "An imprint made with this jade, when burned, will show a deep blue color, whereas ordinary jade won’t change color when it’s burned and then stamped, so this can distinguish between the real and the fake." Bai Zhi’er nodded with understanding and happily accepted it. How much money does Fourth Brother have? If she sold a hundred prescriptions, she’d get one hundred taels. Fourth Brother must have at least ten hundred taels! Bai Zhi’er thought naively. The Fifth Heir, Bai Fengqing, lunged forward: "Fourth Brother! I want one too!" Before he could touch Bai Daoyan’s hand adorned with the Pixiu, the fourth son heartlessly brushed him away. "You’re still young, you don’t need money." Bai Daoyan answered lightly.
