Chapter 222: Cousin

The woman's words were also strange. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Jiang Li" and "Childe" are not the same person.

Jiang Li could only envy some fragrant wonders, but Gongzi could easily get it, this incense that was only circulated among the royal family and the five surnames.

Jiang Li didn't immediately stumble, he accepted this gift calmly, and the nobility of the natural superior was filled with between his eyebrows, as if he was born with it.

He looked at the majestic Zheng Mansion, stretched out a hand, put his fingers together with his sword, and pressed it down, which seemed to have thrown a chess piece.

"It's not that the Wang family wants to make a move against the Zheng family, it's that this son wants to win this game. In other words, it was Ben Gongzi who asked the Wang family to help Ben Gongzi win this game. ”

The Zheng family is the chessboard, the Wang family is the chess piece, the black and white sub-line, the calculation camp, the praying mantis does not know the yellow finch, and the sandpiper does not know the fisherman.

Autumn is strong, osmanthus is fragrant, Xiao Xiao Chang'an wind rises again.

And in this Xin Mansion, Xin Yi also felt that the autumn wind was blowing and his ears hurt.

The two parties in the hall have been arguing openly and secretly for half an hour, and she, the county monarch of Huai'an, sits at the top, from the beginning of persuasion, to now she just wants to throw the pot to Xin Qi.

"Dad, what do you think of this?" Xin Yi smiled at Xin Qi flatteringly, his face full of helplessness.

Xin Qi, who was sitting at the bottom, stroked his beard and teased him with two points: "You are the prince of the county, and a while ago you cleaned up the family style and established a good prestige." Now that I'm the head of the family, everyone is looking at your face, how useful is my talk?"

Xin Yi hurriedly gave a frightened blessing: "Daddy's words are serious." Ziqing is a fourth-grade woman outside, and she is still a daughter of the Xin family when she returns home, so she definitely doesn't mean to encroach on her father. The head of the family can only be his father, and Ziqing listens to his father. ”

Xin Qi's ridicule gradually melted away, turning into a smile that was kind and peaceful: "You girl, I'm just joking, you take it seriously." Convince people with reason, do things according to the rules, and the head of the family is just a name. Since he's here to find you, you'll have to take over this matter. ”

After that, Xin Qi picked up the dogwood tea on the case, closed his eyes and tasted the tea intoxicated, as if the hall was turned upside down, and I didn't hear it.

Xin Yi sighed again and again in his heart, so he had to turn his head to look at the "he" in Xin Qi's mouth.

It was a young man standing in the hall. It's just twenty-five or sixteen, with a long body, a face like a pile of Qiong, a wisp of peach blossom on the top of the eyebrows, a few touches of affection at the corners of the eyes, a dance of the arms seems to have a music fang, and a thin lip is beautiful among the flowers.

From head to toe, up and down the body, this man is like a green building master, sleeping flowers and willows, and the horns of warblers and swallows are endless, just like a peony flower guest, a merry young man, and a good girl all detours.

At this moment, he was standing alone on one side, and on the other side was the Xinfu people led by Gao E, and Du Yunxin as a third party, mediating with a dry mouth.

The young man's tongue was smooth and neat, and Gao E and the others were also long-tongued women who were unforgiving, and the two sides had been arguing for half an hour.

The reason was just that the young man praised Gao E's "charm still exists", and Gao E was scolded by Gao E as "not big, not small, frivolous and hateful".

Xin Yi stroked his forehead and beckoned to the young man: "Cousin, you just entered the mansion, you are the same generation as me, and the Gao family is your elder." When you first met, you said that 'the charm is still there', which is indeed rude. Just apologize. ”

"The charm is still there, that's a compliment to her. Am I wrong to praise people? She glared at her. The man who called "cousin" raised his chin.

"Not to mention the etiquette of your first meeting, it is the dignity calculated according to the seniority, how can you tease your cousin-in-law like this?" Gao E was ashamed and angry, pointing at the tip of the man's nose and scolding angrily.

It turned out that the name of the man called "cousin" was "Dou An", and he was a relative of his maternal family who came to Xinyi this morning. said that his father and Xin Yi's mother were cousins, and Xin Yi was a cousin.

Dou An said that due to the decline of the Dou family, the clansmen were scattered, and he wandered to Chang'an to join Xinyi, the "red man in front of the saint", relying on the relationship between his cousins, eating on credit and begging to live.

Xin Yi was suspicious of the "cousin" who suddenly appeared, and two points of faith, one of which was still for the feelings of the surname "Dou".

Originally, she didn't have much impression of the Dou family, and the remaining wisps were completely broken with the death of her mother. Coupled with the assassination of the Dou family, she has an attitude towards the Dou family, that is, "admitting that there is, but not kissing".

Later, Xin Qi came forward and took out the genealogical evidence left by Dou Wan, confirming that Dou An was Xin Yi's cousin, so he temporarily took him in and planned to make a living in the future.

Unexpectedly, Dou An had a quarrel with Gao E when he saw the Xin clan for the first time as a "cousin".

"This boast is wrong, so how do you teach people how to speak? The charm is still not polite, and the are polite?" Dou An's scolding voice came again.

He even crossed his waist with one hand, lifted up half of his robe with the other, and took a half-slip step, like a scene on the stage, and howled angrily, "That little lady mistakenly takes the obedient and kind-hearted child for a donkey's liver."

Merry, slippery, hippie smiley, Dou An's style made Gao E's face blue, and everyone else also showed resentment, if it weren't for Xin Yi and Xin Qi not speaking, I was afraid that I would have rushed up to strictly rectify the family style.

Even the sick grandmother Zhou said sharply with a cold face: "Although my Xin family is not Xuanhe Gaodi, I am also a scholarly scholar, courteous, righteous and honest, filial piety and loyalty, and I also speak in a clear manner. How can you be so frivolous and dissolute, I don't know how to pronounce the word Gangchang. ”

Dou An was not afraid or angry, raised his eyebrows, smiled informally, and the tone of his singing became higher and higher: "...... You have lost my teeth, crooked my mouth, lame my legs, broken my hands, and God has given me such gangster symptoms. Shang Wu refused to give ......" (Note 1)

Xin Yi, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly had a headache.

If it is said that Gu Nian was born in a businessman and does not adhere to the etiquette of the family, but is ridiculed and reprimanded by a full house, he should also know that he is restrained, but Dou An is a copper pea, a copper pea that does not enter oil and salt.

Rules are all dung to him, etiquette is dross to him, and Shimen Gaodi is not as good as a little Zhu between the girl's lips.

Xin Mansion was regarded by him as a hook fence, and Jianli was regarded by him as a stage, such a stubborn character, Xin Yi couldn't take him if he asked himself.

When Dou An began to hum Sun Yuling again, Xin Yi relented and threw the pot to Xin Qi: "Daddy, although Dou An is my cousin, but when he enters my Xin Mansion, he must abide by the rules of Xin Mansion." Daddy is the head of the family, and he is more suitable to deal with this matter than Xin Yi. ”

"This?" Xin Qi was stunned. Before he could answer, a bitter look appeared between his brows.

"Dou An did make a rude speech, and he was wrong first. Even if he is uninhibited, if he doesn't take the rules of Shimen, he won't be able to mix in Xinfu or even Chang'an in the future. Daddy is an elder, and everything is up to Daddy. Ziqing took his leave first. ”

After Xin Yi dropped the sentence, he didn't care about Xin Qi's old face, so he got up secretly and slipped out of the back door of the upper room.

In the hall, Dou An and everyone were in a mess, and the maids were busy persuading, but no one noticed that Xin Yi had run away for a while, only Xin Qi sighed and was thrown down to deal with the mess.

Xin Yi slipped out of the upper room, went straight out of the house, and when he came to the streets of Chang'an, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The late autumn wind sends cinnamon fragrance, Chang'an City is full of red leaves, the autumn sky is clear, and the geese return to the south.
