Chapter II. Reunion 12/29 Revised Edition
When it was close to noon, Xie Huai'an, the eldest young master of Xie Mansion, and Xie Huaichang, the second young master of the house, took the servants who came to the stage in the big house out of the gate and waited, putting on a mighty formation, indicating that Xie Mansion attached great importance to the visit of this wanderer and Beijing officials who had not returned for a long time. But there was only one carriage that squeaked, and the hunchback coachman jumped down, and from the carriage came a chubby middle-aged man, whose eyes and lips were full of lines folded out of laughter, and his clothes were simple, and he couldn't tell that this was a rather wealthy Beijing official.
The comparison between the two sides was a little embarrassing, Huai'an twitched the corner of his mouth, gestured to Xie Funing imperceptibly, and then greeted him with a smile: "Boy Huai'an, I've seen my uncle, and my uncle has worked hard all the way." ”
Xie Daoyong's smile lines bloomed on his face, and he walked up and patted Huai'an's shoulder affectionately, not feeling strange at all that he hadn't returned for a long time: "Huai'an, they've grown so big, when I went out, your eldest sister just got off the ground, is your father okay?"
"Thanks to you, it's all good. Huai An smiled, and said goodbye to his body a little stiffly, his uncle was still a stranger he had met for the first time in his heart, and he was a little unaccustomed to such a sudden intimacy.
Xie Daoyong saw his embarrassment, took his hand back, and nodded back at Xie Huaichang, who was standing aside: "Huaichang has also grown so big." ”
Xie Funing quietly removed a group of servants, and beckoned the rest to carry the luggage on the carriage, he had a lot of dealings with the second master when he was the eldest master's scholar, and the expression that greeted him at this moment was a little emotional: "Second master, come into the house quickly, the eldest master has been talking for a long time, and it can be regarded as looking forward to you." ”
Xie Daoyong laughed: "As soon as you heard this, you came to trick me, I'm afraid that the eldest brother is talking more about why this bastard came back." As he spoke, he took the lead in walking inside, paused in front of the gate, and touched the wooden gate with his hand: "Over the years, it's still the same, nothing has changed." ”
Huai'an and Huaichang hurriedly followed, and heard Xie Daoyong sigh again: "Nothing has changed." ”
As Xie Funing said, Xie Daozhong, the authentic lord of Xie Fu's lineage, has been waiting in the main hall for a long time, Xie Daoyong didn't need anyone to lead the way, and he came over with the familiar way, Xie Daozhong saw him, and the pre-typed abdominal manuscript all disappeared, and he jumped out without thinking: "Over the years, you haven't forgotten how to walk at home." ”
Xie Daoyong laughed and continued: "This house has been the same for hundreds of years, let alone me, even if the soul of my father, grandfather and grandfather returns, I will definitely not find the way." He looked back at Xie Huai'an and Xie Huaichang, who came over, and said, "When I left, the two of them didn't have a shadow, they will both grow so big, you are still the same." ”
"It's not the same old way, so what do you want me to become. Xie Daozhong's face was hidden in the shadows of the room, and in a trance, it seemed to be the same color as the dark purple robe on his body, and the thumb of his right hand exposed in the sunlight had a jade wrench, and there was a small floating dot on it, and the word "Xie" was embossed.
Xie Daoyong squinted at the wrench and waved his hand: "Okay, big brother, you haven't been angry after so many years, and I haven't caused trouble in the capital, so can't you be relieved?
Xie Daozhong raised his voice, a little angry: "Bastard, the rules of the ancestors can be changed if they are changed? Your temper has not changed at all, you are disobedient and unfilial!"
Xie Daoyong still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care about the eldest brother's scolding: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, in front of my nephew, save me some face, quickly call out your big girl and let me see, is it Wanlan? ”
Xie Daozhong snorted coldly, and finally softened his breath: "You didn't drink saliva and leave, you can't see when you want, go change your clothes first and take a breath and then it's not too late." After a pause, he was a little uncomfortable: "There are your clothes in the cabinet, you can wear them and see if they don't fit, just throw them away, it's all done by your sister-in-law, I have never taken care of it." ”
Xie Daoyong smiled and narrowed his eyes, and sighed meaningfully: "Then the eldest brother has to thank my sister-in-law for me." ”
