Sister Hui felt that she had passed last year's natal year, and this year was really going well.

Although the greedy ink and silver of An Ninghou have not yet been investigated, I heard that at the beginning of the year, the barbarians in the north missed the idea of eating because they had fought for several years, and the food and grass were insufficient, and many people starved to death. In addition, after the Great Summer, new soldiers, horses, grain and grass were added, and the spirit was enough in the winter, and the attack was carried out in one fell swoop, and the city was lost.

It's just that when I heard that the emperor was happy, he was overjoyed and fainted.

The doctor applied acupuncture and pricking medicine, and it was easy to save him. But there was faint news in the palace that the emperor's body was really bad.

The situation between the DPRK and China immediately became delicate, and I heard that many people were joining the crown prince. As for who she wants to set up, Sister Hui can't tell.

However, this did not hinder her good mood at all, because Hongyu received news from Xia Nanjing, and the group of them would arrive in the capital in three days. It also means that after more than two years of absence, her brother Xuan is finally going home.

"Mom, you go to the house over there and talk to Mother Xu, remember to prepare his favorite food for Brother Xuan, and buy more of that ham to come back, I haven't eaten in Jiangnan for the New Year in the past two years, and I told me many times in the letter. Also, he loves to be clean, you remember to wipe his house a few times, ventilate it more, don't put flowers on him, he has been allergic to pollen since he was a child. ”

"I know, how many times has Miss explained this. Don't worry, Mother Xu has watched him grow up since she was a child, and she remembers it. There are also Cui Xiu and Moqi who are also helping on the side, and the slaves and maids are also guarding you to ensure that our young master will live comfortably when he comes back. Wang's mother smiled happily

"Hey, this is all living outside, and it's still not as good as being at home. It's a pity that he can't come back to see his father and mother immediately after going out for a few years. Sister Hui couldn't help whispering

Mother Wang's smile fell, and she also fell silent, her eyes slightly red.

Three days later, Mrs. Li and Ayi came to visit her together and asked her to go shopping together.

The old lady was bedridden and recuperated, and she had no time to take care of her, and she was still doing well in the previous separation, although she only let Qiao Shi come out to meet Mrs. Li and Ayi, but she did not say a word about Sister Hui'er going out, and she was very happy.

Sister Hui, together with Mrs. Li's mother and daughter, drove to the gate of the city.

"Hongyu, go and see again, why Brother Xuan hasn't arrived yet." Sister Hui couldn't help but urge.

Ruby nodded and stepped out of the carriage.

Li Yuyi saw that her face was full of urgency, and said lightly: "Brother Xuan'er is eight years old, and he is the age of a governor. There is also the third young master Xia of Prince Ke's mansion escorting, what else can happen. ”

"Everyone is like you, and I never care about the situation of my brother at home." Mrs. Li is an elder and understands Sister Hui's heart as a sister and a mother, and reprimands Li Yuyidao.

After speaking, he also took Sister Hui'er's hand and comforted her.

"Miss, the young master said that you and Mrs. Li and Miss Li will go directly to the house in Qingxiang and wait, and they will go directly." After a while, Ruby came back to say goodbye

"Okay, then I'll leave right away." Sister Hui nodded immediately.

I don't know which way Xia Nanjing went, but when Sister Hui and the others arrived at the house in Qingxiang, Brother Xuan was already standing at the gate, watching her get out of the carriage, and watching her approach step by step with a smile.

"Sister, I'm back." When the two of them were only one step away, Brother Xuan said with a smile.

For example, when Sister Hui quietly came to Jinyuan to see him, he stood on the bridge and looked at her steadily. Sister Hui felt that it seemed that Brother Xuan had never left and had always been with her.

But when she took him into her arms, she found out that she had missed two years.

Her younger brother has now grown taller to her shoulders, his shoulders seem to be a little wider, his smile is more calm and comfortable, and his eyes are the breadth of the mountains and rivers, which is not comparable to Brother Wen and Brother Hong, who grew up in a private school in Beijing.

She felt proud, at least that distinction was valuable!

"Brother Xuan, come, I've seen Aunt Li and Sister Ayi." After the sister and brother embraced, Sister Hui rubbed her eyes, choked her voice slightly, and pointed to Mrs. Li's mother and daughter who were standing on the side

Brother Xuan straightened up, looked at Mrs. Li and Ayi, bowed his head, and bowed, "Huai Xuan has seen Aunt Li and Sister Ayi. ”

"Well, well, you've grown up! Your father and sister are all pleased. Mrs. Li nodded and smiled.

Li Yuyi's always indifferent face also showed a friendly smile and nodded.

"By the way, sister, Brother Xia has returned to Prince Ke's mansion beforehand." Brother Xuan said again

"Well, thanks to his help this time, things will be done in a few days, my sister will prepare a gift for you, and you will go to the door to thank you again." Sister Hui nodded and continued

"Yes."

"Sister, let's go, let's go into the house and talk. Aunt Li, Sister Ayi, please. Brother Xuan, like a little master, stretched out his hand and asked.

Mrs. Li shook her head, looked at Sister Hui and Brother Xuan, and said with a smile, "Although it is not polite to pass through the door and not enter, but your sister and brother will meet again after a long absence, Ayi and I will go back first, and come back to visit another day." ”

Seeing this, Sister Hui hesitated slightly, thinking that Mrs. Li and Li Yuyi are both casual and unruly people by nature, so she also smiled: "I am tired of Aunt Li helping me today, and if things are done another day, I will definitely invite Uncle Li, Aunt Li, Ayi and my younger brother to come to the house to entertain them." ”

"yes, okay." Mrs. Li smiled and nodded.

Then he boarded his carriage and left.

Sister Hui is still the first time to come to this house, although it is only three in and three out, it is not very big. The interior layout is very exquisite, full of artistic conception, but there is a bit of the delicacy of the Jiangnan mansion in it.

After passing the front yard, Changjing came to salute and then retreated. Walking to the second gate, in the backyard, Xu's mother knelt down with a bunch of maids and daughters-in-law to greet her, "Welcome Miss, Young Master." ”

"Get up." Brother Xuan raised his hand and smiled.

Mother Xu and her entourage hurriedly got up and looked at Sister Hui's sister and brother, as if there were a thousand words in their eyes.

When he entered the main hall of the backyard, Brother Xuan sat on the top, and Sister Hui stood beside him.

"The young master will return to Beijing and stay here for about a month. I will still live in the Hou Mansion, and I hope you will help me take care of the young master. You are all old people left behind by your father, and you must not disappoint me. ”

"Do as Miss instructs." Everyone stood up and bowed.

"Well, let's all go and do things separately, Mother Xu, Cui Xiu, and Moqi stay." When the others left, Sister Hui and Brother Xuan sat down with Mother Xu left and right.

"Cui Xiu and Mo Qi also sit down, let's talk together."

"Yes, miss."

Everyone has been separated for a long time, and when they sit down, they can only look at each other, unable to speak, only their eyes are red.

It was Xu's mother who spoke first: "The old slave has seen the young lady once or twice over the years, but the young master has not seen him for more than two years, and I never thought that the young master is more and more like the old man now, and I want to come to the spirit of the lord in the sky."

"By the way, sister, what's going on with Dad?" When Brother Xuan heard this, he immediately pulled Sister Hui and asked.

He only got the news that Chu Jinmin died in northern Xinjiang, and he didn't know the details.

On the way, I asked Xia Nanjing, but Xia Nanjing was also silent.
