Su Shi wanted to go back to his mother's house, and the two nephews waited for the seventh lady to get married, one went to Huaishan Mansion, and the other went to Xichang Mansion.

But the cousin Lao Guogong came back from Jiangnan and brought something to Xie Mansion, although Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou had already gone to visit, how could it be that because of the three-room confinement, this ban would be opened, so naturally I had to go to the Guogong Mansion first.

This time I didn't bring Minshan, the third old man and his wife took some gifts and went to the Guogong Mansion to see the cousin, only to see that the cousin was not in good spirits, probably because he had not eased up after returning from a long distance, and the third master also took his wife to say goodbye after greeting.

Then Su Shi pondered to go back to his mother's house, asked Qiu Teng to prepare gifts, and Zhuangzi sent some products, and some fresh vegetables for his sister-in-law to bring over.

didn't wait for the Su family to return to their parents' home, Su Zilin, a clan brother from Jiangnan, came to Xie Mansion with his son to visit, and went to Mrs. Tai's first.

Su Zilin also smiled and respectfully accepted the thanks, and his son solemnly saluted and saluted, the standard etiquette of one board and one eye. Let Mrs. Tai look at it and praise it.

Su Zilin smiled, his son was silent, and Su wanted to laugh when he remembered Jia Lanzhi's description of this father and son.

It's just a distant relative in the third room, and the big room didn't come over, and after being polite to Mrs. Tai, the Su family brought the clan brother back to the third room, Su Zilin was very easy-going, but there was an unruly outsider in the mountain, and he asked his cousin where the crooked pavilion was, but he had to appreciate it.

Su Shiyi, it must have been Cousin Song who gave Bai Hu out, if she was painted by a mountain idler in the future, her crooked pavilion would be famous. She took the father and son to the garden first, it was cold, there was nothing to admire, it had not snowed yet, the garden was depressed, and the bare Buddhist hall and the crooked pavilion were alone and guarded by each other.

Su Zilin father and son went to the Buddha hall first, solemnly burned incense and kowtowed, and only after going out did they surround the crooked pavilion for a long time, Su Zilin also said goodbye, and said to Su: "Cousin, can you let the younger brother paint a picture here, wait for the snow to come and paint a picture, and paint a picture in the spring and summer next year." ”

Su Shi was happy, this is to paint the spring, summer, autumn and winter pictures of the same scene, she is naturally willing, nodded and said: "Cousin, don't be polite, you can paint whatever you want, you can paint whichever you want, I still have a Minzhuang, when the time comes, please ask my cousin to take a look, and if you want to paint, you can do it." ”

Su Zilin said with a smile: "When I came back, I went there with Cousin Song, and I already painted a pair, so I will wait for the snow to paint." ”

Su Zilin's son followed the two without saying a word, this child is almost ten years old, and he looks like a father, that is, his father is a laughing version, and he is a deep version.

The child's name is Su Zheda, and Su Zilin also introduced that it means open-mindedness, that is, he wants to be open-minded about things outside his body in the future. Su Shi just nodded, and discussed in his heart, anyway, literary and artistic people want to play one out at a time, and the masters are originally more unrestrained than mortals, so mortals will not be picky about what the masters do and think.

Seeing the big toys in the garden, Su Zilin asked curiously: "This is what my cousin made for children to play?" I heard Brother Song say that it was good. ”

Su Shi's heart is happy, Brother Song, Brother Starling, no one has called Cousin Song like this, outsiders are at most Song Baye, relatives older than him are directly called Song Baye, and those younger than him are also cousins and cousins, here is a starling, and then Su Zilin's unique Jiangnan tone said it, so funny.

Su Zilin also turned his head and said to his son: "Zhiyuan, do you want to go to the club?"

Su Shi saw Su Zhedong shake his head and said, "Thank you father, my son doesn't want to play." ”

I heard Su Zilin explain: "Zhiyuan is a child's milk name, which was given by his mother. ”

Su nodded and smiled, hearing that his brother's wife had passed away early in the morning, so she was not easy to answer. Su Shi took them to the three-room living room.

The third master had already listened to his wife's instructions to take his son in the house to the living room, ready to meet the master's brother-in-law, and sent someone to pick up the second master.

The Su family came in with the younger brother and son, the third master got up with his son in his arms, Su Zilin hurriedly stepped forward and called his brother-in-law, and Su Zheda also saluted and called his uncle.

The second master didn't know that this was a mountain idler, but they were only relatives of their mother's mother's family, and they all gave gifts to their uncle.

Next is the introduction of the juniors, Su Zheda saluted a few cousins, but no one brought a greeting gift, and the brothers were a little embarrassed.

Su Zilin instead gave the second master a brush for each of them, saying that it was made by the master of the Mao family in Jiangnan.

Su Shi didn't understand this, but when he saw the ecstasy on the faces of the concubine and the fourth child, he knew that this ceremony was unusual. The sixth master began to take it casually, and after hearing that it was made by the master of the Mao family, he carefully took the gift box.

Because Su Zilin's father and son came to the door suddenly, and Su didn't prepare a gift, and he was not a little lady, he could also take a hairpin as a meeting gift, just when she was also worried, the third master took out a wooden box and handed it to Su Zheda, saying that it was given by his uncle and aunt.

Su Shi didn't know what it was, and then said kind words, and Su Zheda took it and thanked him again.

Su Zilin also gave Min Shan a gift, saying that Master Fang Yuan had brought Buddhist beads for decades.

The second master was puzzled, I don't know what kind of relatives my mother is, all the things that I took out were high-ranking things, and they were all things that could not be bought with silver, the Mao family was a pen family, and the Mao family grandfather had long since closed the pen and stopped doing it, and the children and grandchildren inherited the ancestral business.

If you want to say that the eight idiots are the northern archmages, the southern ones are the first mages Fang Yuan. It's just that the Eight Idiots belong to the strange monks, and Master Fang Yuan is an orthodox Buddhist disciple.

There was movement outside the door, it was the fifth master who hurried back, and as soon as he entered the door, he first greeted his parents, and then bowed to the stranger who was sitting.

The fifth master's salute surprised the brothers, and then looked at the cousin, wondering what kind of character could make the second brother of Mo Yan so solemn.

Su Zilin smiled and said please, and also handed the same wooden box, and the fifth master stepped forward and took it respectfully.

The sons stood in a row, and the Su clan and the clan brother gossiped a few words and went down to prepare lunch, invited the clan brother and son, and then went to Minzhuang for a banquet another day.

After taking Minshan and about to leave, Su Zilin said: "Trouble my cousin to take Xiao'er with you, so as not to be with us, and he will be bored." ”

Su Zhezhi glanced up at his father, and without making a sound, Su Shi held Minshan with one hand and his nephew's little hand with the other.

Su Zhezhi first saluted the third master and his father, and said, "Xiao'er will go down with his cousin." ”

Turning around and giving the second master a few salutes to leave, Su Shi looked at it and thought, if this is the normal state of normal children in ancient times, then I was born with a horse type, running around at will.

Su Zilin also waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead, have fun with your little cousin, don't worry about your father." ”

This time it's the turn of the third master, in the third room of my Xie Mansion, don't worry about it, this is a lot of father-son affection, the third master looked at his four adult sons standing there, and thought, have you ever thought about your father?

The second master smiled: This cousin is so cute.

The fifth master was expressionless: My cousin is more stuffy than me.

The sixth master is envious: My son must be like this when he grows up.

The ninth master is worried: My son must not look like this, he is too tired.

Su Shi's outstretched hand did not move: this nephew is more old-fashioned than the old pedant, and after Su Zheda saluted, he took his cousin's hand and walked out together.
