The eldest sister's letter of invitation was finally sent out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Why they tried their best to get the letter they had robbed was finally delivered to Ye Zhiqiu, they didn't know. The eldest sister's ghost drawing talisman that even her younger brother couldn't see clearly, how Ye Zhiqiu saw it clearly, they didn't know.

For the young masters of the Xiao family today, they only know one thing now.

That was the eldest sister's invitation, and Ye Zhiqiu actually agreed.

It was because of the response that the young masters of the Xiao family felt a headache.

The eldest sister is a worldly person who has nothing to do and doesn't care about ordinary things, but no matter how much she regards common sense as nothing, the reputation of this daughter's family has to be taken care of. It was amazing enough to have a red-sleeved move with Chu Jie and Chu Heng before, but now he even invited a son with a foreign surname to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

This person doesn't have to reply, what kind of tongue-chewing words will come from the ancestral family, they have already guessed a few points in their hearts. Sister Chang disdains these gossips the most, so Ye Daxia accompanies her.

I'm afraid it's a certainty.

Returning to Cangzhou to worship the ancestors, this matter has already been moved to the itinerary, and now that everything is in order, it can't be delayed any longer.

Carrying everything he needed into the carriage, Xiao Chusu didn't forget to explain in detail before leaving. She handed over all the affairs of the family to Uncle Lian, after all, this elder is a person who can be trusted, and as for business matters, she will directly hand them over to the third shopkeeper.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell him carefully, and after saying that, seeing that everyone was about to get into the carriage, Xiao Chu, who remembered something again, stopped in his tracks, turned around and said: "Uncle Lian, you have bothered more about the affairs of the family." As for the three shopkeepers, during the time when I was away, all the business matters were handed over to your office, and your intention is my will, so let go and do it. If you can make up your own mind, you will be on your own, if it is not easy to make an idea, you will go to Xiao Mansion and Uncle Lian to account for accounting. After all, Uncle Lian is an elder, and the world he has seen is above you and me, and if he can't think of a clue, he came to talk to Uncle Lian, and he should have a lot of gains. ”

The eldest lady advised, and the two of them naturally kept it in mind, and they were busy at the moment, and Uncle Lian said: "The eldest lady is at ease, there is Uncle Lian at home, and nothing will happen." It's the eldest lady, who is not as good as at home when she goes out, but she has to be careful about her own body. As for the old ladies and young ladies of the ancestral family, young masters, ......"

After a little pause, or pondering whether what he was going to say right now was appropriate, but after a little thought, he finally felt that his own young lady was more important, and Uncle Lian continued: "As for the relatives of the ancestral family, the eldest lady should not be too concerned, worship the ancestor, be polite, and forget it." But don't take their words to heart, and add a few sulking breaths. ”

What kind of people are these relatives in Cangzhou, Xiao Chu is unclear, and he has asked Xiangzhu several times, but he has also received some unclear responses. Now seeing Uncle Lian's advice, I also confirm that it is not some relatives who are easy to get along with. Because of this, there was some calculation in his heart, and Xiao Chuxuan smiled at the moment.

"Uncle Lian, don't worry, depending on what kind of relatives they are, isn't it me or the one who can suffer?"

With her temperament, who can give a loss, it is a blessing that she does not give people grievances. As soon as Xiao Chusu's words fell, Uncle Lian was already smiling, and after another exhortation, Xiao Chusu looked at the three shopkeepers, and the three shopkeepers were also busy stepping forward and said.

"Miss, you can rest assured about business matters, the small one will definitely be handled properly, and the eldest lady will definitely not be disappointed."

"You are the person I fancie, I know and believe in your ability."

nodded, with a smile in his eyes, that is, there was a lot of delay back and forth, and there were already people in that place who were impatient. Directly shouting, Chu Rui said: "Eldest sister, it's almost over, if you continue like this, we won't be able to get out of Kyoto when it's dark." ”

After a series of advices, it was as if this trip would not be able to return for a year and a half.

The eldest sister had something going on, but he couldn't even wait anymore, so he even urged him. At that moment, someone taught Xiao Chu a lesson, poked his head out of the carriage, and the eldest young master of the Xiao family looked at the fourth brother and said, "Fourth brother, what the eldest sister tells is to be cautious, so don't mutter." ”

"Exactly, exactly!" Nodding with a smile, Chu Heng said: "Fourth brother, if you continue to urge like this, the eldest sister will be annoyed, and you will be punished when the time comes." ”

These words sounded like they were concerned about Chu Rui, but they all meant that the punishment of the fourth brother was not a big deal, if the eldest sister was angry, he would be distressed.

The brothers in this family, if they get together, they are not serious, but only Chu Ran in the carriage, seeing that they can also make a scene, they directly took the book and said goodbye, and said "boring" and began to ignore the things outside the window, and only read the sage books.

I have known these young masters of the Xiao family for a long time, so I also know their temperament that sinks into each other. Riding a horse beside Chu Ning, Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "The young masters of the Xiao family are so harmonious that Ye is envious. ”

"Harmony? Is my Xiao family harmonious? ”

Ye Zhiqiu's words made Chu Ning a little confused, and he turned his head to take a look, and after a round around, he still couldn't see where his family was harmonious, and finally chose not to say more.

Chu Rui's words were indeed scolding, but the four young men of the Xiao family who scolded him also got to the point. The morning has been tidied up, and the eldest sister is worried about it here and there, and they have not set off until after noon, if it is up to the eldest sister to continue to advise. I'm afraid that I don't have to leave Beijing today, so I will go back home and stay overnight, and wait for tomorrow to get up in the morning and set off for the trip.

She did worry a little more, after all, the New Year is over, and there are more things than usual. However, those who can advise have now said it again, thinking that there is really nothing to say, the eldest lady of the Xiao family got into the carriage with the support of Xiangzhu, and the group left Beijing in a grand way.

Although Cangzhou is not far from Kyoto, it is inevitable to travel for ten days, and there are a lot of new things behind him, so this trip has been delayed for another day or two.

Returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors, not to talk about business, the time has already been set, as long as it is not too late, what if there is a delay or two more on the road? Therefore, the group walked very slowly, and there was a suspicion of taking the opportunity to leave Beijing and roam with their families.

It's hard to be elegant, and the scenery is also appreciated along the way, the more snow falls south, the rarer it is, although it is not full of snow, but compared to Kyoto, it is still a little warmer. Laughing and wandering on the road, seeing that Cangzhou was approaching, the eldest lady of the Xiao family suddenly remembered a major event called throwing herself away.

She is the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and the current head of the Xiao family, so she is naturally indispensable for this sacrifice. Although the sacrificial matter is cumbersome, what makes Xiao Chu feel the most headache is not the trivial matter of worshipping the ancestors, but the relatives of the Xiao family who she has never seen at all.

Thinking that there was a relative who he had never seen before, waiting for him there, Xiao Chuxuan felt that his head hurt badly.

Even if she doesn't know those people, she has to find out what kind of temperament those people are, but they are easy to deal with. Because he only remembered to inquire now, Xiao Chuxuan also asked. Lifting the curtain and poking her head out of the carriage, Miss Xiao asked directly.

"You guys, I'm asking you something."

"What's the matter with the eldest sister?"

This one suddenly sighed, but the three and four young people who were amusing there trembled in fright. Busy is color came back to his senses and then responded to the eldest sister, when he saw his own sister poking her head out of the carriage, Chu Heng immediately exclaimed.

"Eldest sister, why did you come out, it's windy outside, and you're not afraid of getting cold."

Because of his anxiety, he was busy riding his horse in a hurry, and was about to open his mouth to call the box bamboo in the car to put on a windbreaker for the eldest sister, when he saw Xiao Chushu waving his hand to signal not to tighten, and then looked at Chu Heng Churui who was walking beside the carriage, and asked: "I ask you, what kind of relatives are the relatives in Cangzhou." ”

"What is the eldest sister asking for?" Chu Heng asked, and Xiao Chu replied.

"I don't know anyone now, if I don't ask first, it's hard to wait for Cangzhou to be embarrassed."

"Jokes, the eldest lady of our Xiao family, who dares to laugh."

Xiao Chuxuan's words had just fallen, Chu Rui had already answered, all disdainful, and the four young men of the Xiao family said: "Those relatives, the eldest sister remembered it, and if she didn't remember it, she would be the No. 1 person, and she would be entangled in these." In my opinion, those relatives might as well forget about it, so as not to get upset. ”

For those relatives of the Cangzhou family, it is obvious that the four young members of the Xiao family are very disliked, so there is also a lot of suspicion in these words. Originally, he was a little interested in those people, but now that he is called Si Shao, Xiao Chuxuan is even more interested, and he smiled and said: "They are all relatives of the family, even if they don't see a single one in plain faces, this etiquette must also be observed." Chu Rui, if you are not happy to say, just stay aside, Chu Heng, you come. ”

What Xiao Churui said from his mouth, she still had to weigh whether it should be believed, so he was not happy to mention it, Xiao Churui just avoided the scrutiny, and directly waved his hand to signal this bastard boy not to get in the way in front of him.

The eldest sister wanted to answer herself, Chu Heng was honest, but for this little thing, the eldest sister poked her head and let the wind and snow blow, and the three young people of the Xiao family were still distressed. He untied his own cloak, and put his cloak on the carriage while riding his horse to block the cold wind for the eldest sister, Chu Heng asked.

"If the eldest sister wants to know about the relatives of the ancestral family, why don't you come out to ask the eldest brother and the second brother in the carriage?"

"Ask the two of them." Directly sighed, rolled his eyes, Xiao Chu said: "If I can ask something useful from your eldest brother's mouth, I still need to come out to ask you two?" As for your second brother......"

At the mention of Xiao Churan, the eldest lady of the Xiao family rolled her eyes even more, and after rolling her eyes, Xiao Churan said, "As for him? Now I'm swimming in the sea of sage books, but I don't have time to deal with your parents. ”

Don't say that Xiao Churan doesn't have time to promise himself now, it's his unfamiliar temperament, and the sacrifice of this ancestral family may also be pushed. I'm afraid that the relatives at the head of the family might as well know all of them.

Chu Jie Chu Ran couldn't answer there, so she poked her head out and asked the two outside.

The eldest sister lagged behind in this, and then thought about the temperament of the two brothers, Chu Heng was also helpless. With a sigh, Chu Heng said, "Eldest sister wants to inquire about which relatives in the family. ”

"This ancestral family, who is in charge now, which ones are in the way, and which ones are not in the way, if you know, tell me everything."

"These?"

The eldest sister wants to ask, but it should also be known, Chu Heng thought about it slightly, and then said: "The ancestor of our Xiao family is now in charge, it is the second uncle, and the father is still alive, there is only the second uncle and the eldest aunt, if the head of the family is further up, there is only one uncle left." As for the head of the family, there are still a few cousins and aunts. ”

"Second uncle and aunt, and how many cousins and aunts?"

"Exactly."

"So what are the ones here?" After chasing after a question, Chu Heng paused again, and then replied.

"If you want the third brother to say, the aunts and uncles in this ancestral family are not easy to deal with."

This is the truth, but because of this truth, Chu Rui, who had just asked Xiao Chusu to rush to the side, drove his horse up again. Grabbing the horse rope, Chu Rui said, "I don't like to hear what the third brother says. Inserting a sentence, Chu Rui said: "It's just some lords who stare at their noses and face and think they respect their elders, and they open a dyeing workshop when they give some color, and they always teach others with a straight face, and they really think that after eating two more bites, they know more than others." Eldest sister, if you want me to say it, it's the same as what Uncle Lian said before leaving Beijing, those people, eldest sister don't pay attention to them, and after worshipping the ancestors, she hurried back, saving me a few more glances and worrying about it. ”

For this ancestral family, the four young people of the Xiao family were disliked from the heart, but it was also because he was backward in what he said, Chu Heng immediately replied: "I always train you, if you are willing to accept those mixed sexes, those uncles and aunts will not always want to train you." ”

"That's what I'm like, what's wrong? hindered them, even the eldest sister was not as diligent as they were in training. Do you really think that if you are an elder, others will have to obey their wishes? ”

The eldest sister trained herself, Chu Rui loved to listen, but he was not happy with the respect of the ancestral family. turned his face at the moment, his face was disdainful, and his eyes couldn't stop wandering, and he didn't know what he was stealing again.

The general matter, now that it has been cleared, it is that when Xiao Chusu was inquiring about the matter of his ancestral family, the young master Xiao, who was talking to Ye Zhiqiu, was obviously very concerned about what the eldest sister and the two brothers were talking about. Directly drove forward, Chu Ning asked.

"Eldest sister, what are you talking about with the third brother and the fourth brother?"

"I didn't say anything, but I asked about the ancestral family."

"Ancestral business? What is there to inquire about? ”

"This looks like it's going to enter Cangzhou, what relatives our ancestors have, we should always know it in advance. Otherwise, when the time comes to enter the ancestral family, it will not be embarrassing to see that you don't know half of it at a glance. ”

Facing an unfamiliar face, knowing that this person is a relative of this body, he doesn't know who it is, so he can only look at each other there.

That kind of scene, the more I think about it, the more embarrassing it becomes, Xiao Chusu is really not happy to see such an embarrassing thing. However, the young masters of the Xiao family had the same attitude towards the relatives of the ancestral family, and when Xiao Chusu's voice was behind, Chu Ning snorted directly.

"What kind of relatives, know what they do, anyway, let's go back to Cangzhou just to worship our ancestors. When the time comes, the ancestors will sacrifice, and the people will return, as for them, why should they be involved. ”

Chu Ning's words were the same as Chu Rui, and it was difficult for Ye Zhiqiu, who was invited to go to Cangzhou at the moment, to be strange. Just looking at Chu Ning, Ye Zhiqiu Wen asked with a smile: "It seems that Chu Ning is not happy with this ancestral family's relatives." ”

"It's fine."

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu's words fell, Chu Ning turned back directly and responded: "Not everyone is annoying, but there are always one or two that make people look upset." ”

Whoever doesn't have one or two annoying lords among his relatives, but he is also lagging behind in a circle, and he has a little background in his heart, so Xiao Chuxuan returned to the carriage and began to think about it.
