Princess Xing wore an apricot yellow ruyi pattern jacket with auspicious clouds, and a forehead of the same color on her head, with a big red gemstone embedded in the center. At this time, I was leaning on the couch in the flower hall and listened to the housekeeper's mother-in-law, Liu's mother-in-law, reply: "The house's mother's surname is Lu, and people in the countryside call her Xiaoxia mother-in-law, but I personally met the slave maid." But he didn't ask anything, only said that the children were messing around, and Princess Lao was bothered. ”

Princess Xing's face, Danfeng eyes, looked kind and generous, and after listening to Mother Liu's words, she gently pulled the corners of her mouth, with a sarcastic smile on her face. I have seen a lot of tricks like this before, but it is just to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.

Mother Liu said again: "I think I just moved from the countryside, and most of the servants are newly bought." I don't even know about tipping. ”

"I want to get away with it!" I can't imagine that this poor and remote countryman has so many scheming. Thinking like this, he gently flicked the gemstone ring in his left hand with his right hand, and then tilted his head for a while and said, "Let the little guy pay more attention to the little king." ”

Xiao Xia Pozi wore an indigo pigmented gown, and her hair was meticulously combed to the back of her head and tied up in a bun, and a silver hairpin was inserted on it at will. Xu was busy cleaning up the house and arranging slaves, looking a lot thinner, his face was a little pale, and his eyes became bigger and bigger.

Xiaoyu wore a red gown and followed her, watching her arrange for those little girls who had just learned the rules to do things with a little bored. When is this time to clean the garden, and when is the table arranged? The porter was also arranged, the mother-in-law guarding the second door, the kitchen steward, and the cook, all of which were all arranged. He also took the light rain to patrol everywhere to see if anyone was stealing and playing tricks.

After doing this, I went to the front hall to read the account books with the third sister-in-law, and asked the third sister-in-law to talk about some arithmetic things to Xiaoyu and Ting'er. After being busy like this for a few days, one Tianmenfang handed a post in and said: "Zhou Li, the county king of Xingwangfu, came to visit. But he didn't say who he visited.

Half of Zhou Li was instigated by Song Zhuojin that week, really because Song Zhuojin was too curious about the Xia family.

The porter replied, and led the two to sit in the main hall. After waiting for a long time, the tea was changed twice, and Seventh Brother and Ruhai walked in quickly with sweaty heads. Both of them wore a wide-sleeved soap-edged bean green shirt today, with a cyan soft scarf on their heads, but they were dressed as students.

Yan Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shook the two of them to the ground: "The grass people don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, and they go to Zhou Gongzi Haihan." ”

Zhou Li hurriedly helped the two of them up: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, Brother Xia is polite." ”

The seventh brother hurriedly invited Zhou Li and Song Zhuojin to sit down, and called the servant to change the tea again.

Song Zhuojin saw that although there were few servants in his family, they were all well-behaved and performed their duties. It doesn't look like a noble family like King Xing, but it doesn't look like the kind of rich family who doesn't know the depths.

The four of them exchanged pleasantries and said some things about riding and shooting. Song Zhuojin found that the uncle and nephew were also skilled in bowing and horses, especially Ruhai seemed to be very familiar with bows and crossbows during conversation.

After talking like this for a long time, the tea was changed twice, and there was really nothing more to say. The four of them, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all look at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li hesitated for a long time before saying: "That day, Sister Ling won the next day, and the bet agreed was to give her the shadow to ride." In the next day, he is here to deliver horses. ”

Seventh Brother, Ruhai and even Song Zhuojin were stunned when they heard it.

A good horse like Jueying is a rare treasure. This, this sounds, why does it look like it's going to be given to Xiaoyu?

The seventh brother hurriedly stood up, and Ruhai didn't dare to sit down when he saw it. Seventh Brother Zhengse said: "Zhou Gongzi is a promise, which is really admirable. It's just that the sister can win the son, thanks to the son's concession, otherwise how can the sister win the first place with her sister's equestrianism. Childe Hugh is going to bring up this matter again and humiliate us. ”

Zhou Li was originally a competitive person, and he didn't know what was going on just now, and he was a little annoyed in his heart. Listening to his words made his heart iron a little. More and more magnanimous: "Brother Xia's words are bad, as the saying goes: A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, since Sister Ling won, she naturally deserves this lottery." Didn't Brother Xia think I was a villain who didn't believe in my word?"

This is a bit heavy, Seventh Brother thought about it, if he didn't accept this horse today, I'm afraid this young master wouldn't stop. He said, "Since this is the case, I will accept it on behalf of my little sister." She'll ride two laps tomorrow, and I'll send it back to you. ”

Zhou Li was also relieved when he heard this, nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

In this way, a few people said some kind words, and the porter came in and said, "Young Master Sun is here to visit." ”

It turned out that it was inconvenient for Mrs. Xiao Xia to see Zhou Li, so she sent someone to the school to call Seventh Brother and Ruhai back to entertain this distinguished guest. Sun Haoran listened to his classmates, and he was worried about it, so he rushed over as soon as he went to school.

Seventh Brother didn't know what to do, Sun Haoran had already turned the shadow wall and walked towards the main hall, but he was also dressed as a student. Seeing that Zhou Li and Song Zhuojin hadn't left yet, they couldn't help but be taken aback.

Zhou Li and Song Zhuojin looked calm, as if the battle for the boat had never happened, Shi Shiran and Sun Haoran had met. The two of them glanced at each other, and then continued to sit down, with the intention of chatting together.

For a while, Brother Seventh was so anxious that his head was as big as a fight, and his sweat was like rain. The heart said: The strange mother often said that everything in the world is knowledgeable.

At this time, Sun Haoran said to the seventh brother: "Since you are here, how can you not say hello to your aunt." What Sun Haoran thought was that he had a close relationship with the Xia family, and Zhou Li would never be cheeky to give a junior salute to a country woman.

Which Cheng thought, Zhou Li also stood up and said: "Rude, rude, I forgot to meet my aunt." ”

The seventh brother's eyes were about to pop out, and he turned his head and glanced at Sun Haoran resentfully.

Song Zhuojin was also embarrassed suddenly. Hurriedly stood up and said, "The prince still has to test your homework today, it's not good to come out for too long." Why don't we come back and see my aunt another day? ”

I didn't want Zhou Li to insist on saying: "How much time can it take to meet my aunt, Brother Xia will lead the way." ”

The seventh brother had no choice but to send someone to the second gate to make a message, so that Xiao Xia could prepare. After a while, a little girl ran back and asked Brother Qi to bring everyone to the flower hall. Only then did the seventh brother lead everyone through the middle gate and walk towards the main courtyard.

This house was originally a lifter, but because it was not good at management, it almost ruined the ancestral business. I had to sell this big mansion, and the Xia family had just bought it and didn't have time to repair it.

But it was also because of listening to the words of the fourth brother that only the large noodles were packed up to be able to live in, and I thought that I would slowly renovate it in the future.

Zhou Li walked through the carved beams and painted pillars, and saw that the paint of a lot of wood had faded. The flowers and plants in the yard have also grown barren at four o'clock, and they are only slightly pruned, and there is not much scenery to see.

When I arrived in the front hall, I saw that Xiao Xia Pozi had a royal blue forehead on her head, and she was wearing a ginger Ruyi pattern collared short undergarment, but below was a royal blue horse-faced skirt, sitting in the front hall.

Song Zhuojin was taken aback when she saw it, and for some reason she was a little weak under the gaze of Xiao Xia Pozi, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Xia Pozi. I was secretly surprised that such a country woman had such a bearing, and I didn't know what the origin was.

In this way, the three young people all greeted Xiao Xia's mother-in-law, and talked with them before quitting.

Xiao Xia didn't say anything, but just asked their parents how they were doing, but she was calm.

When he returned to the front hall, Sun Haoran waited for Zhou Li to leave. But he didn't want to, Zhou Li was also wondering how this family was weird. Taste it carefully, this Xiao Xia Pozi has a very different temperament from her son, grandson and Xiaoyu, and she is actually a group of people who are not related to each other.

The seventh brother had no choice but to ask: "If there is something wrong with Gongzi Zhou, we will not stop you." ”

Zhou Li didn't seem to have any other excuse to go on, so he had to say goodbye to Song Zhuojin and leave.

After sending them out of the gate and walking away, the seventh brother breathed a sigh of relief.

He returned to the front hall with Sun Haoran, asked people to change the tea, and said with a long sigh: "Look, I've got into this big trouble." I just sent the horse over. ”

Sun Haoran was also taken aback: "Such a good horse is fed with special forage and is taken care of by a special person." What if something happens? ”

Seventh Brother was also pale with fright when he heard this. I couldn't help but sigh again.

Sun Haoran thought about it, it's useless to talk about so much, let's see if the person surnamed Zhou will play tricks tomorrow. He said, "I have something to consult with you." ”

The seventh brother arrived: "Brother Sun, don't be polite, please speak." ”

Sun Haoran said: "The old gentleman who teaches children in the school is about to return to his hometown. Daddy's meaning is Lingzun. ”

"Ahh I thought to myself: This is a good thing, but I can't do my father's business.

He replied: "Thanks to Lingzun's love, it is just a matter of the future of the father, and the younger brother does not dare to make his own decisions." ”

"This is natural, always respect the meaning of Ling Zun. Then he said: "Now that the spring is blooming, the sister has brewed a few jars of plum blossom wine, and I want to invite your brothers and sisters to taste it." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone outside the hall say: "Ha, ha, ha, there is really something good to hide from me." But it was Song Zhuojin who came back with Zhou Li one after the other, followed by the overwhelmed porter.

The seventh brother was made to cry and laugh by Zhou Li, so he had to salute and say, "I don't know what else Zhou Gongzi has to say." ”

Zhou Li sat down with a golden knife and said, "That shadow is very difficult to take care of, I originally came back to leave my little boy who takes care of the horses for you." I didn't think you had good wine and you didn't ask me to taste it. ”

Sun Haoran hurriedly said: "Where is the good wine, it is the wine made by the sister herself, it is very vulgar, it is not good to invite Zhou Gongzi." ”

Zhou Li how to agree: "What day do you plan to enjoy the flowers and wine, I have long heard that the garden of your mansion is very exquisite, and there is no cave. ”

Sun Haoran had no choice but to make an appointment to go to Sun's Mansion for a small gathering three days later, and everyone enjoyed flowers, tasted wine, and composed poems together.

Zhou Li didn't allow them to call him Zhou Gongzi, so he talked about the tooth order again. Ruhai is the oldest, but he is young, so he has to stand aside. The rest is Song Zhuojin the oldest, followed by Sun Haoran, and then Zhou Li, but the seventh brother is the youngest.

Only then did Zhou Li leave the little guy contentedly and take Song Zhuojin and the two away.

Sun Haoran touched his nose and left with a sad face.
