Although there were a lot of questions, Yang Chen was not a particularly gossipy person, and he didn't plan to ask anything.

After the banquet, Guo Xuehua handed over the carved wine porcelain bottle to Lin Ruoxi, and his eyes signaled, letting Lin Ruoxi be responsible for pouring the wine.

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered his current identity, it seemed that this kind of work should indeed be done by himself, although he was a little unaccustomed to it, but he still started with Yang Gongming with a red face, and poured the wine one by one.

Yang Chen blushed and grinned, "Wife, this is the first time you have poured me wine." ”

Lin Ruoxi looked at his scoundrel appearance and became angry, puffed out his mouth, and snorted and ignored it.

Seeing these in his eyes, Yang Gongming asked with a smile: "I heard your mother say, are you going to hold a wedding when you come back this time?"

Yang Chen dragged a chicken leg and gnawed on it, and said with a smile: "Old man, I spent a lot of money to prepare for this wedding, and I mainly came back to ask you for some sponsorship." ”

"You are straightforward enough", Yang Gongming sipped the wine and said leisurely.

Lin Ruoxi kicked Yang Chen's calf under the table, he just hated this guy, why can't he be serious, he will be short of money?

If she didn't think it was strange for the bride to pay for the wedding by herself, she would have wanted to give it.

Yang Chen disagreed, "After all, it's a family, what's yours is mine, even if you don't have money, it's okay to send a few heirlooms or something." ”

Yang Gongming did not answer, but said: "After dinner, you go to the Yang family ancestral hall with me and kowtow to the ancestors, in the afternoon, there will be some patriarchs of our old Yang family, who will come to meet you together." If you want money and treasures, let them approve it, and it will naturally be yours. ”

"It's so simple? As soon as I recognize it, the entire Yang family belongs to me?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.

Yang Gongming glanced at him and said, "Naturally, wait for me to go west one day, otherwise I will let you spoil it?"

Yang Chen took a bite of the chicken hard, "I knew that you old fox was not so kind." ”

"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do, but it doesn't matter, it's better for people to have a picture than nothing to do, it's just human nature", Yang Gongming sighed: "It's just that there must be rules, and the routines that should be done still have to be done." As for what process you choose, I don't care, I just need to see the results I want. ”

Yang Chen pondered for a while before he said, "You said so profoundly, why don't you make your granddaughter-in-law stupid?"

As he spoke, Yang Chen snorted at Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi was indeed in a daze, because he didn't know how the grandfather and grandson communicated.

was ridiculed by Yang Chen, and he picked up a fist and smashed it on Yang Chen's face!

Yang Chen didn't dodge either, he continued with a smile, and stuffed the half-eaten chicken leg in his hand towards Lin Ruoxi's red lips.

"Disgusting!!"

Lin Ruoxi couldn't stand it, so he quickly fled to the seat next to Guo Xuehua and glared at Yang Chen angrily.

Yan Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled: "Master, it seems that Young Master Chen and his wife are very affectionate."

Yang Gongming nodded in agreement, "Indeed." ”

Guo Xuehua on the side listened, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Next, Yang Gongming asked some more about the recent events, most of them were small things in life, Yang Chen only cared about eating and drinking, and most of them were answered by Lin Ruoxi.

When he was almost drunk, Yang Gongming beckoned a female servant.

The maid understood, and not long after that, she brought a small bowl of noodles and put it in front of Guo Xuehua.

Guo Xuehua was stunned for a moment, and then remembered something.

"Xuehua, today is also your birthday, but after all, you are not a young man, so I have prepared a simple longevity noodle for you, which can be regarded as a good hope", Yang Gongming said kindly.

Guo Xuehua was suddenly quite moved, and said with a smile: "Dad, I didn't expect you to remember, I haven't had a birthday in the past few years, and I didn't remember this." ”

"No one asks you to go home often, naturally no one remembers your birthday", Yang Gongming pretended to be displeased.

Guo Xuehua smiled abruptly, but her eyes were full of gratitude.

In fact, the status of women will not be as high as that of ordinary families, after all, the concept of respect and inferiority is relatively strict.

Therefore, as a father-in-law like Yang Gongming, he can still remember the birthday of his daughter-in-law, who has never done anything, and specially prepared longevity noodles, Guo Xuehua is inevitably very grateful.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ruoxi, who had already prepared a birthday gift, was a little nervous, and suddenly felt that the gift Yang Chen bought was really unreliable, should he take it out?

No, Yang Chen had already spoken first, grinning and saying, "Mom, happy birthday, just now Ruoxi said that today is your birthday, and specially bought you a gift." ”

Guo Xuehua's face was happy, and his eyes were full of satisfaction and looked at Lin Ruoxi, "It's still you, a kid, who has a heart, Yang Chen may not have that concept at all." In fact, you don't need to buy any gifts, just one meaning, after all, there is nothing missing. ”

"Mom...... I wish you a happy birthday too, that gift...... ...... gifts" Lin Ruoxi hesitated, got up quickly, and said, "I'll go and bring the gifts, in the travel box." ”

Waiting for Lin Ruoxi to run to get the gift, Guo Xuehua asked Yang Chen suspiciously, "Are you kid fooling Ruoxi about something, why does she look weird?"

Yang Chen said awe-inspiringly: "Am I that kind of person? Besides, I don't have that guts, who doesn't know that I am a 'strict wife'?"

Yang Gongmingyun interjected lightly, "Well, it's a good thing for young people to be self-aware. ”

Yang Chen had to admire that although this old man was old, he still had a very flexible brain.

Not long after, Lin Ruoxi hugged a gift box about a foot high, came to the dining table, and gently sent it to Guo Xuehua's arms.

"Mom, because I bought it in a hurry, I don't know if you like it or not, if you think it's not good, I'll buy you another one", Lin Ruoxi said seriously.

For her, who has always been cautious and meticulous in doing things, giving her mother-in-law a gift is a very serious matter.

Guo Xuehua was also curious about what was inside, stood up, and opened the box on the spot.

When he saw the "real body" inside, Guo Xuehua's face turned strange on the spot.

Yang Gongming and Yan Sanniang also looked a little crying and laughing, and Lin Ruoxi, who gave the gift, was even more red to the root of his ears.

I saw a large clay figurine doll painted with colorful flowers, round and full, standing on a porcelain cushion in a simple manner.

Although this doll looks very eye-catching, its shape is like a beer bottle, and it is indeed extremely strange as a gift for Guo Xuehua.

Guo Xuehua couldn't help but smile and said: "This doll looks like she is pregnant, shouldn't it be a pregnant doll? Ruoxi, Mom thinks it's quite appropriate for you to keep it." ”

Lin Ruoxi was even more shy, gritting her teeth and looking at Yang Chen, all of whom were harmed by this guy.

"I look pretty good, Madame, it's better to keep it", Yan Sanniang said with a smile.

Yang Gongming asked Yang Chen, "Since you chose it, why don't you tell me why you chose this gift?"

Yang Chen was fighting with chopsticks against a rock sugar pig's trotter, and when he heard this, he pursed his lips and said a little reluctantly: "Of course there is a reason, but this kind of thing, it doesn't make sense to say it." ”

"No, I have to say it", Guo Xuehua was interested, "Today's mother's birthday, you choose a pregnant doll for me, what is this, is it possible that you still want younger brothers and sisters?"

Yang Chen's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "Come on, I said, I said, your words squeezed out goosebumps all over my body." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and even the servants not far away couldn't help laughing.

Yang Chen wiped his mouth, pointed to the simple doll and said, "This Russian doll named Matroska actually has a mystery in it. ”

"Mystery?"

"Not bad", Yang Chen leaned over and picked up the doll from the base.

Everyone was amazed, and after the doll was taken away, an identical but miniature version of the Russian doll appeared inside.

Lin Ruoxi stepped forward with great interest and took the doll off again, but no, a smaller doll appeared below!

This time, everyone here understood.

Guo Xuehua picked up two more and found that there were a total of five dolls, set together!

"It's interesting, it's interlocking, and the dolls are set inside the dolls, and it's really good," Yang Gongming praised.

"What special meaning should this have," Yan Sanniang asked.

Yang Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Matroska Russian doll, in Russian, means 'mother doll'. Layer after layer, the implication is that the mother protects the child layer after layer in the innermost ......"

This time, no one laughed anymore, and they all looked at the doll silently, thinking a lot.

Guo Xuehua's eyes were red and a little moist, she looked at Yang Chen with satisfaction, and silently put the doll away and put it in the box.

"Okay, this gift, my mother accepted it, but you are not allowed to buy this kind of gift in the future, not only does it look weird, but it is also easy to cry when you look at it", Guo Xuehua quipped.

While Lin Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, she also glanced at Yang Chen with some resentment, knowing clearly the meaning of this doll, but she refused to tell her in advance.

A lunch, although it was the first dinner back home, but the little family ended happily.

After the meal, Guo Xuehua smiled meaningfully and led Lin Ruoxi back to her room in the backyard.

And Yang Chen, who followed Yang Gongming in the ancestral ancestral hall, kowtowed helplessly but resignedly, in fact, kowtowing is nothing, but being watched kowtowing to him, Yang Chen felt quite faceless.

When she came out of the ancestral hall, Yan Sanniang stepped forward and said, "Master, as I said before, the patriarchs of those descendant families have already arrived in the front hall, waiting for Young Master Chen to meet them." ”

"Oh, they're on time," Yang Gongming laughed.

"But ......" Yan Sanniang said with some sadness: "In addition to our Yang family's descendants, there are also some other neutral families in Yanjing, as well as many opposing military figures, who are also here." ”

Yang Gongming squinted his eyes and sneered: "Yes, come on."

After speaking, Yang Gongming turned his head to Yang Chen and said, "You also know that old men are easy to get sleepy, so you can do the next thing, I'm going to take a nap." ”

Yang Chen always felt that there was a bad premonition, and listening to the meaning of Yan Sanniang's words, it was clear that someone was coming to find fault.

But he was not a fearful lord in the first place, and said indifferently: "What if someone dies?"

Yang Gongming laughed a few times, and a few wisps of essence flashed in a pair of old eyes, "Dead people, they are dying every day, the key is that who is dying." ”

"You said it earlier", Yang Chen snapped his fingers, nodded knowingly, and said to Yan Sanniang: "Granny Yan, lead the way."
