Being called a nephew and daughter-in-law by a person who is about the same age as himself, Feng Shi was also very embarrassed in his heart, no matter how awkward he felt in his heart, he still smiled and said to the eldest aunt: "You can really make people happy, I haven't seen you and your uncle and grandmother for a few years, and you are getting younger and younger." However, we can't compare to these little girls, this is my aunt! The nephew and daughter-in-law are polite. ”

Du Xiaoxi accepted the salute of Feng and the men and women behind her with a smile on her face. The heart is embarrassed with a capital letter.

After the embarrassment, Du Xiaoxi was very pleased, late marriage and late childbearing, good law, their Liu family is a living example!

The male heirs of the Liu family are usually born to be fathers, and men are usually thirty or forty-one years old, and the current situation has been caused by the late generations.

The Liu family is younger than the rest of the family!

People are young, big!

That's right, the person in front of him who is already a grandmother in his fifties wants to call Aunt Du Xiaoxi and the little star cousin in Du Xiaoxi's arms.

has such a big niece Du Xiaoxi is also drunk!

Facing such a big nephew and daughter-in-law, Du Xiaoxi felt that her already underdeveloped communication skills were even worse, pursed her lips and nodded with a slight smile, she really didn't know what to do or say. Does she want to be like those elders who meet for the first time, take off the bracelet on her hand and give it to the younger ones as a meeting gift? Du Xiaoxi was sure that if she really did this, it would be a bunch of embarrassments with a capital letter.

Liu Yao followed his father and uncle to walk in front of a middle-aged man, the eldest aunt and the newly baked niece Feng Shi supported the old lady left and right, Du Xiaoxi held his eyes and purred and turned to the little star who looked around.

After the high archway, he entered the gate of Liu's house from the middle gate, and was helped into a soft sedan chair.

The soft sedan car walked forward one by one, and Xiaoxing's eyes were raised sharply, and he was very excited to be held by Du Xiaoxi and twisted back and forth.

Liu Yao and his father's uncle do not belong to the old and weak women and children, so naturally they will not sit in a soft sedan chair for women. The uncle and father-in-law went to the old lady's sedan chair to talk along, while Liu Yao stood by Du Xiaoxi's sedan chair and motioned for his son to stop.

The house of the head of the Liu family is very large, much bigger than the Liu family in Shanshui County, and he finally arrived at his destination after turning left and right in a sedan chair for half an hour.

This time they were greeted by a couple with dyed sideburns and gray hair, and there were more people behind them.

"Uncle and grandmother are healthy!" The husband and wife led by them bowed to the old lady, and then bowed to the uncle and the second master Liu.

After a salute, the group moved to the flower hall.

Du Xiaoxi didn't have to stand behind the old lady like before because of her seniority.

After a simple confession, the old lady turned into an old lady who scattered wealth and gave a gift to the juniors in the house.

"I haven't seen each other for many years, but my uncle and grandmother are still in good spirits, and they are getting stronger and stronger."

Liu Zhenyuan, the current patriarch of the Liu family, said to the old lady.

The old lady nodded and gave you a good look, and then teased her great-grandson with a rattle and called grandma.

Uncle hurriedly picked up, "We can stay for about half a month this time, and the matter of the genealogy on the stars will be taken care of by the patriarch, if there is any shortcoming, just say it directly." ”

Liu Zhenyuan's big posture today is aimed at Liu Ziping, the old lady doesn't care, and he doesn't care, and looks at Liu Ziping with a smile, "Uncle Cousin is outside, why should the family pay attention to this, besides, this is the responsibility of the patriarch, and I should do it." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries in the hall, and Second Master Liu also said without a word.

Here, the eldest aunt and the patriarch's wife Peng also smiled and smiled, and the enthusiasm was abnormal.

"Mother!" Xiaoxing was held in Du Xiaoxi's arms for a while, and his posture was a little uncomfortable, and he stood up holding Du Xiaoxi's arm, his eyes turning around. Du Xiaoxi hugged him and said a few words to the women around him from time to time. As a result, the head of the Liu family and the second brother Liu who were sitting on the main seat were too able to speak, and the little star hummed and played with the things that could be played, and saw that his mother still didn't hold him and Feifei gave him a kiss. The little star, who couldn't sit still, began to whisper to his mother.

Du Xiaoxi said sorry, and was led out of the flower hall by the maid with the little star in his arms.

Contrary to the malaise in the flower hall, not long after he came out, Xiaoxing hugged his mother's neck and giggled.

Without waiting for Du Xiaoxi to let him stop a little, Xiaoxing quickly closed his mouth and looked at his mother blankly.

Du Xiaoxi felt the wetness on his hands and wanted to cry without tears. Good son, you can't hold on any longer!

I found a guest room, changed my diaper, greeted the little girl, and Du Xiaoxi walked to the flower hall with the little star in his arms.

"I don't know what Grandpa thinks? As for such a big gesture to greet it? Isn't it just the head of the household department, the uncle or the Sipin Mansion Yin? ”

The voice of the little lady who was slightly dissatisfied came, and soon heard another girl reply: "Grandpa can't either, since the second grandfather died, there are no high-ranking officials in the family, and our Liu family has been looked down upon by several other families." Besides, they are elders, and they have to be greeted by the clan no matter what. ”

What's more, his father's mansion Yin is invincible in a mansion, but he may not even be able to compare with a seven-rank official in Beijing. If there is no one in the capital of the Liu family to be an official, their Liu family is outside the Kyoto power center, and it will be difficult to climb in again in the future.

The two did not lower their words, and Du Xiaoxi listened directly.

"Young lady, do you want something to eat?" The voice of the maid leading the way was slightly higher, and the sound of the wall immediately stopped.

Du Xiaoxi glanced at the maid with a smile, and said leisurely: "No, I used it just now, let's go back quickly!" ”

The maid hung her head and silently led the way.

Just two steps away, two young ladies came behind them.

The girl at the head looked at Du Xiaoxi with a look of shame, "Uncle and grandmother, we have said a lot, please forgive me." Another girl next to her was stabbed, looking embarrassed to be caught speaking ill of someone, and Nuo Nuo apologized, "Please forgive my uncle and grandmother!" ”

You all call me uncle and grandmother, can I still deal with juniors?

Du Xiaoxi smiled kindly, "It's okay, don't be like this in the future." I'm going back to the flower hall, do you want to go together? ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly when they saw Du Xiaoxi slowly leaving.

Fortunately, they only talked about useless things just now, and did not mention the matter of the heir, otherwise Grandpa would definitely not spare him.

When Du Xiaoxi went back, the house was no longer as happy as when he had just gone out, and a group of people were sitting quietly and feeling a little falling out.

As soon as Du Xiaoxi came in, the old lady was slowly helped to stand up by the eldest aunt, and said happily: "The little girl is here, let's go home!" ”

The three uncles also stood up and said goodbye to Liu Zhenyuan, "After a long journey, let's go back and rest first, and say goodbye!" ”

Liu Zhenyuan immediately stood up and stopped: "A banquet has been set up today, and Uncle Cousin will definitely stay for a light meal." ”

The uncle flicked his sleeves and strode out to keep up with the old lady's pace.

Du Xiaoxi didn't know what was going on, and quietly followed the old lady.

Out of the gate of Patriarch Liu's house, the atmosphere on the faces of grandma and uncle was better.

After getting into the carriage, Du Xiaoxi tugged on Liu Yao's sleeve and asked in a whisper, "What's wrong?" Isn't it okay to have a family tree on Little Star? ”

Liu Yao glanced at Xiaoxing and shook his head: "It's an uncle's business." ”

Seeing Du Xiaoxi's puzzled face, Li Yao explained: "The old people in the clan feel that the uncle has no queen, and they want the uncle to take advantage of this time to pick a child to pass over, and it is best to do it with the matter of the family tree on the little star." ”

Du Xiaoxi's eyes widened, what is the best together? This is a clear threat, if the uncle doesn't pick an heir, they will shirk and not give the little star a family tree!

The importance of the ancient clan to a person is self-evident, and their little star can't become a black household if anything!

What a toothbrush in this nest!

It's shameless to threaten people with children!

Liu Yao snorted happily when he saw Du Xiaoxi, but he didn't put forward the words of letting the uncle pass over, he was very proud, his little daughter-in-law was not a person who only cared about herself, she was a kind and good daughter-in-law.

After finishing with a sense of pride, Liu Yao began to persuade Du Xiaoxi, "Don't worry, the uncle's succession depends on the uncle's mind, they can't control it." Grandma came this time because she was afraid that their old things would be brought up again and affect the little star, with grandma here, it must be fine! ”

Seeing that Du Xiaoxi was puzzled, Liu Yao said carefully: "When the clan was transferred from the uncle to the Yin of Qingzhou Mansion, he urged the uncle to set up an heir, but the uncle didn't pay attention to it at all, and Liu Yuan didn't return once. After so many years, the clan has not given up, but the uncle has never paid attention to it.

When I came this time, I was afraid that they would use the little star thing to force the uncle to pass over, so the uncle and his father invited their grandmother to come over.

Grandma is now the oldest person in the clan, and with grandma in charge, they don't dare to go too far, and at most drag it out for a few days. The matter of the genealogy on the little star is a matter of course, and the clan has no reason to refuse at all. ”

Du Xiaoxi was instantly puzzled.

The carriage and horses were so far away, and Du Xiaoxi persuaded the old lady to stay at home and be the companion of the second lady guarding the door, after all, it was too frustrating to go back and forth.

The old lady directly refused to say anything at that time, and she wanted to come with her great-grandson, thinking that it was also related to the succession.

The old lady is the oldest person in the Liu family, and at this age, at this age, as long as the old lady does not do anything heinous, the people of the Liu family will provide for her.

The patriarch rushed to grasp the matter of the genealogy on the little star, and the old lady could directly ignore the reputation of the Liu family, and directly sit on the ground like the world crying that the juniors of the Liu family did not respect the elderly. Even for the sake of fame, the Liu family didn't dare to anger the old lady!

Du Xiaoxi touched his son's little short hair, and sighed in his heart that it is good to give birth late and give birth late.

Our children and grandchildren crush them with generations, it can't be more enjoyable!

The Liu family has an old mansion in Liuyuan, and the old lady's father did not sell the ancestral property handed down from his ancestors when he left this place in Liuyuan. For several generations, this place has been taken care of by subordinates, except for Liu Erye, who occasionally comes back to inspect it, most of the time it is a lonely and unpopular mansion.

The carriage slowly stopped outside a very quaint courtyard.

As soon as Du Xiaoxi got out of the car, he saw a group of people kneeling at the door.

"Welcome home!" A crowd shouted in unison.

"Get up, is the yard ready?" Second Master Liu shook the golden abacus in his hand and asked casually.

The white and chubby official stood up with a smile and said with a smile: "Hui Second Master, it's ready." ”

The fat official wanted to say something, but Second Master Liu waved his hand and motioned for him to go down and step forward with his younger brother to support the old lady and go directly into the courtyard.

The willow garden is planted all over the place, and the old house is no exception, as soon as you enter the door, you will see the willow trees that are scattered and scattered, and the young shoots that have just been spit out have a lot of spring and color in the yard.

Xiaoxing had already eaten and drunk enough to fall asleep in the carriage, so Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao hugged him to rest.

There are more than a dozen large and small courtyards in the old house, and Liu Yao ordered the new Liuyuan near the main courtyard.

Xinliuyuan had already been cleaned up, and Du Xiaoxi directly carried the child into the room.

The room is well kept, and there is no rotten smell caused by being uninhabited for a long time. Because during the state funeral, the furnishings in the house are mainly plain. Although monotonous, it makes people feel a sense of homely warmth. Just wait for someone to come and wrap up the corners of the table in the room and stuff them, so you don't bump him.

put his son on the bed, Du Xiaoxi also lay down lazily, comfortable and didn't want to move.

After sitting in the carriage for more than a month, lying on the bed again, Du Xiaoxi couldn't help but sigh, this is life.

The tip of Du Xiaoxi's nose twitched, and his brows frowned.

Then he lowered his head and sniffed hard, and jumped out of bed with his son in his arms.

Liu Yao was directing Fangcao to pack up her things, and when she saw Du Xiaoxi jumping off the bed with her son in her arms, she hurriedly walked over, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong?" Put your shoes on, what should you do if you get cold! ”

Du Xiaoxi's face turned blue, and he called Fangcao and Madder Qingcao over to the three of them: "You go and smell the smell of the quilt, isn't it wrong!" ”

The faces of the three of them changed, and they hurriedly stepped forward, one dragged the quilt, one dragged the mat, and the other grabbed the pillow, and lowered their heads to smell.

The smell of soaphorn and sun-soaked is not too unusual, but the smell of both is heavier.

Madder had a lot of strength and directly tore the quilt in his hand, and the faces of the three of them instantly turned bad.

The quilt was stuffed not with new cotton, but with a mixture of new cotton and old cotton.

How can this be justified!

It's a deception of the master's family!

Liu Yao half-knelt to put on Du Xiao's shoes, and walked over to see the cotton in the quilt, and his face turned dark. Although he didn't understand the quality of the quilt, the things inside should be the same color, and there was obviously something wrong with the yellow and white mixture. Liu Yao shouted straight outside: "He Yang! ”

He Yang was busy directing people to pack up his things, and when he heard the shout, he hurriedly ran over and asked, "Young Master, what are your orders?" ”

Liu Yao pointed to a pile of cotton on the ground and said, "Go to grandma and uncle to see if it's the same." ”

He Yang looked at the cotton, and his face turned stinky and went straight to the residences of several other masters. (To be continued.) )
