Chapter 582: The Second Day of the Lunar New Year
Soon it will be the New Year.
Although he was very reluctant to step into the Jing'an Hou Mansion, which brought him many painful memories, on New Year's Day, Shao Mingyuan still went back.
is a year older, and the gray hair on the sideburns of Jing'an Hou looks more and more, but his expression at the moment is pleasant: "Are you ready for the gifts to be given to the Li Mansion?"
Shao Mingyuan smiled and nodded: "Father, don't worry, everything is ready." ”
Anyway, it is not wrong to adhere to the principle that there will be more, not less.
"That's good, if you don't understand anything, ask the housekeeper. In the first year, you can give a New Year's gift to your father-in-law's family, and you can't lose the number of gifts. Jing Anhou admonished again.
Shao Mingyuan didn't speak, but Shao Xiyuan put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Don't eat!" After speaking, he glared at Shao Mingyuan, turned his head and left.
"Third child, you stop me!"
Shao Xiyuan paused and turned around.
"What kind of temper do you have during the Chinese New Year? You are already fifteen years old after this year, are you still a child?"
Shao Xiyuan snorted coldly, and said with a stiff neck: "The family is messy, what's the point of living this year? I'm full!"
The half-grown boy ran out like a gust of wind, leaving Jing Anhou pursed his lips angrily.
Shao Jingyuan, the prince of Jing'an, sat on the side and said nothing.
This reunion dinner is really unbearable.
Shao Mingyuan stood up: "Father, there are still a lot of things in my house, so I'll go back first." ”
"Finish eating and then leave. ”
Shao Mingyuan smiled: "No, I've already eaten it." ”
Jing Anhou was a little sad, thinking that it would be difficult for his youngest son to stay after making this scene, so he reluctantly smiled and said: "That's okay, I'll ask the steward to send you dumplings when I get back." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Shao Jingyuan, who lowered his eyes and turned a blind eye.
Shao Mingyuan saluted Jing Anhou and turned to leave.
The flower hall where the father and son gathered just now, and in an instant, only the Marquis of Xia Jing'an and the eldest son Shao Jingyuan were left.
"Your second brother finally came back once, why didn't you send it off just after leaving?"
Shao Jingyuan sneered and smiled: "Father, we all know about the second brother, why do you bother your son?"
Jing Anhou's face sank: "Even if Ming Yuan and you are not the same mother, he is also your younger brother!"
"But my mother is so angry that she ignores mundane things because of his talents, and she is dedicated to worshipping the Buddha!" Shao Jingyuan's voice raised, "Father, think about how lively our house was during the Chinese New Year last year, but what about this year?
There was a snap, and Jing Anhou slapped Shao Jingyuan.
"Father-" Shao Jingyuan looked incredulous.
Jing Anhou's face was as cold as snow: "Don't mention your mother again." Shao Jingyuan, you remember for me, you are not the Hou Ye now!"
After Jing Anhou finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving Shao Jingyuan to almost break the table.
Damn! Why is my father partial to Shao Mingyuan to the core? Just because Shao Mingyuan was born in my father's beloved outer room?
An outer chamber forced his mother to worship the Buddha and no longer see people, but his father still defended Jos.
Shao Mingyuan, let's see, I don't believe you can be proud all the time!
Shao Mingyuan walked out of the hall door and walked towards the gate without stopping.
It had never been his home, and he should have known it.
Looking up at the sky, the palm-sized sky of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion was gray, Shao Mingyuan smiled silently, and looked at the person who stopped in front of him to stop.
"Second brother, you're about to marry a bride, are you happy?" The half-grown boy was born with red lips and white teeth, and looked at his brother who was half a head taller than him with his hands, and questioned with anger.
"Of course I'm happy. Looking at his younger brother's expression, Shao Mingyuan smiled slowly.
No matter what thoughts this younger brother had about Zhao Zhao that he shouldn't have, it doesn't matter now.
After Zhao Zhao married into the Champion Hou Mansion, he would not take her half a step into this unpleasant place unless it was necessary.
In other words, on the one hand, he was angry that the third brother had thoughts about his sister-in-law, but on the other hand, he was also grateful to this child.
Zhao Zhao once said that her archery technique was taught by Shao Xiyuan.
It is conceivable that in the long and cold days of the Hou Mansion, this younger brother may be the only person who has given Zhao Zhao warmth.
Listening to Shao Mingyuan's answer, Shao Xiyuan immediately exploded: "Second brother, have you forgotten your second sister-in-law? You, you are going to marry another bride so soon, ask yourself, are you worthy of your second sister-in-law?"
When the boy said that, his chest rose and fell with anger.
He has already forgiven his second brother for killing his second sister-in-law with his own hands in that impossible situation, and persuaded himself to treat him as a good brother in the future, but how could he marry a new person so quickly?
Where did he put his dead second sister-in-law?
Shao Mingyuan raised his hand and landed on the top of Shao Xiyuan's head, and said with a faint smile: "Second brother is sorry for your second sister-in-law, so I will treat my wife well in the future and no longer let regrets happen." ”
"You fart!" Shao Xiyuan jumped to his feet, and after scolding with foul words, he simply let it out, "You fart, fart!" Even if you are good to your future wife, she is not a second sister-in-law, which is even more unfair to the second sister-in-law!"
Looking at the angry young man, Shao Mingyuan was sad and funny in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "Then what do you want?"
No matter how generous he is, he is also a man, and if this kid shows his thoughts so obviously, he will beat people.
"I-" Shao Xiyuan was asked.
What does he want?
He can't do anything, he can't bring the dead second sister-in-law back to life, and he can't stop the second brother from marrying a new daughter-in-law, what else can he do?
"In short, there is only one second sister-in-law in my heart, and I won't call your bride a second sister-in-law!" The young man was depressed by his brother's question, and stomped his feet and ran away.
Shao Mingyuan smiled and strode out.
Early the next morning, snowflakes fell in the sky, but it could not stop people's enthusiasm to visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the daughters who are married according to the routine should take their husbands back to their parents' homes to pay New Year's greetings, and the married daughters' families will prepare wine and food to entertain the prospective sons-in-law.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the crowded street, and many people subconsciously stopped to watch, and saw a handsome young man riding a tall horse in front, followed by a long procession, those energetic young people or picked, and even drove the carriage, full of gifts made the people dumbfounded.
"Oh my God, whose son-in-law is that, not to mention his spirit, the New Year's gifts are almost worth ten years from other people's families......"
"You don't even know this, that's the champion Hou, giving a New Year's gift to Loei. Tsk, the three girls of Loei are really lucky!"
Jiang Shiran, who was standing on the street, gathered his cloak and pouted.
What's the big deal, isn't it just a little more New Year's gift?
She stretched out her hand to hold the stunned Jiang Yuanchao, and said aggrievedly: "Thirteenth brother, when you finally come back, you have to make up for me as a New Year's gift." ”
Jiang Yuan looked at her sideways: "Miss Li San is married?"
