Situ Jin, who returned to Situ Mansion, was invited to the study by Situ Yan, "Brother, this trip is hard!" How is Mr. Gongsun? ”

"Be fit!" Situ Jin was still thinking about Gongsun Yu, and his answer was a little absent-minded.

Situ Yan had just finished handling the distribution of the festival gifts in the house, and she didn't notice that her brother's expression was wrong, "It's good to be strong, I'm most afraid that Mr. Gongsun won't be able to control his mouth and eat his stomach!" ”

As soon as Mr. Gongsun was greedy, Situ Jin came back to his senses from his thoughts, "It's a shame that I listened to your advice in front of the door, Mr. Gongsun saw the jam, and ate five pieces of dim sum in one go, and I was worried about it!" ”

"I also know that these things are rare, and it's no wonder that Mr. Gongsun is not greedy!" Situ Yan smiled, although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she wanted to know that Mr. Gongsun was greedy, and wanted to look like the old naughty boy.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and for a while there was a sound of joy in the study.

"Brother, on Chinese New Year's Eve today, I want to go back to Fuxiang Village with my brother and celebrate the New Year with the four brothers of the Li family? Although the village is not as comfortable as Situ Mansion, the atmosphere of the New Year is better than in this mansion, and I don't like those who pretend to please the New Year! ”

"Good!" For this sister, Situ Jin is unconditional support, in his heart, he can have the current life, it is all the little sister's hard work, and he owes her. What's more, he is still a sister control, so it is even more impossible to refuse the little sister's request.

The two settled the affairs of the house, took Situ Li with them, and asked Wu Guo to drive the mule cart straight to Lijia Village. When he went out this time, he didn't bring a bolt, leaving him and Li Youzhu to celebrate the New Year together.

"Big cousin, since I entered the capital, this is the first time I've gone out of the city!" Situ Li happily sat in the car, holding the curtain and looking out.

Situ Jin doesn't have too deep feelings for this cousin, but after all, this person is the only bloodline in his mother's family, and the little sister doesn't seem to hate this person. And this man is not like the other two cousins, he is willing to talk to him.

"Now that you're out, it's good to have fun, you hide in the study all day long and read. It's rare to have this opportunity on weekdays! Situ Jin's words made Situ Li a little sad, he also wanted to go out, but he was still a slave, first, it was impossible to take the imperial examination, and second, no master was willing to come to teach him. He can't even go to the county school, he doesn't hide in the study, he really doesn't know what else he can do.

Situ Jin didn't notice Situ Li's strange appearance, but Situ Yan, who was sitting opposite them, saw it, "Cousin Li, a person's background is not the criterion that determines everything, and I discussed with my brother, after this year, we will spend some silver money to redeem your body." Next year, my cousin will also be a good person, and when the time comes, I will learn from my cousin's talents, and then invite a good teacher, whether it is a show talent, or a champion, it will definitely be caught! ”

"Really?" Situ Li looked at Situ Yan in surprise, and then glanced at Situ Jin sitting beside him uneasily, this sudden good news made him unable to believe that everything was true.

"It's true, I've discussed this with Yan'er. Although Situ Fu was sentenced to slavery for his crimes, it was already a matter of the previous dynasty, and Emperor Wu was benevolent, and he also spent a lot of money. Naturally, there will be a chance to turn into a good one! And cousin Li is the only relative in Situ Mansion, for the sake of mother, our brothers and sisters will also fight for you! ”

Before Situ Jin's words were finished, Situ Li had already covered his face and cried bitterly, he had endured it for so long and looked forward to it for so long. Even when he had already given up, he gave him such a big hope, when he saw that the eldest cousin who became a military household could be turned into a good family, it was false to say that he was not tempted, but Situ Jin They didn't plan for him for a long time, and how could he, a person under the fence, be embarrassed to make such excessive demands.

He never thought that his cousin and cousin had already planned for him, and even thought of a way out for him, which made him not be moved, and even regret the jealousy he had in his heart at the beginning.

Looking at Situ Li who was crying with joy so much, Situ Yan didn't say anything, just glanced at Situ Jin, when he turned into a good family, Situ Jin also cried on the chair like this, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his head, although the experiences of the two were different, but the mood was the same, and this matter of consolation was naturally handed over to Situ Jin, not to mention that she didn't have any deep feelings for Situ Li, so she naturally didn't want to have much trouble.

Situ waited for Situ Li to cry a little tired, so he persuaded a few words, and the mule cart carried a carload of people's hearts and galloped on this post road.

Here, the three Situ cousins rushed to Fuxiang Village with joy. Over there, Duanmu Xuan had already returned to the Guogong Mansion. The mansion is naturally happy, especially the Duchess of Guo, her son can come back safely on Chinese New Year's Eve, what could be better than this. Moreover, the emperor has made a decree, and his son does not have to go to the northwest border to suffer, which is naturally joyful for a mother.

Liang Rengong Duanmu Li sat in the study, Duanmu Xuan sat on his left hand, father and son just bowed their heads to drink tea for a while, and there was silence in the study. Duanmu Li finally couldn't sit still, glanced at his calm son, and shook his head weakly, "The older this son is, the more he can calm down!" It's older than my father! ”

"Xuan'er, Mo Feng has already told me about the northwest, you can talk about it! What's going on with the Situ brothers and sisters? ”

Duanmu Xuan naturally knew that these things couldn't be hidden at all, when he introduced Situ Jin to Mr. Gongsun, he thought that his father would definitely know, since he couldn't hide it, he didn't want to hide it anymore, and if he wanted to marry Situ Yan to go to the house, he had to have his father's consent to persuade his mother.

"Father, the Situ brothers and sisters can be converted into good families, and I have help from them, but it is also because they have really made miraculous achievements that I can have the opportunity to make a move. As for Yan'er, the child doesn't hide it from his father, I won't marry Yan'er in this life! Duanmu Xuan thought that since he wanted to talk about it, then he would make it clear what he meant in his heart, anyway, regardless of whether his father agreed or not, Yan'er was married, and if his father objected, he would rather not be the son of this world, but also marry Yan'er.

"Hey! I'm afraid your mother won't agree to it! Hearing his father say this, Duanmu Xuan couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and his father didn't mean to object to him.

"Yan'er is still young now, and Brother Zhongxian has no fame, and her mother has never seen her, this matter is not urgent, and when Brother Zhongxian is the champion, it will not be too late to discuss it!"

"You think long-term, and it's because of this that you let Situ worship under Mr. Gongsun, right?"

"I can't hide anything from my father. This is also one of the reasons, and Brother Zhongxian is indeed talented! ”

"Well, I have been admitted to Xiucai at the age of 14, so I think I have some talent. And Mr. Gongsun also has a lot of praise, Xuan'er's vision is as sharp as ever! As for her sister, her father has also checked it, but she seems to have a lot of secrets, and she can't even find out for her father? I don't disagree with your decision though. But do you have to be more careful yourself? Duanmu Li also likes Situ Yan very much, but he is still worried about his son, after all, this Situ Yan has too many incredible things in his bones, making it difficult for him not to be on guard.

"Thank you, father! I think she will tell me her secret one day, and my son likes her, so he has chosen to believe in her unconditionally. What's more, she hasn't accepted her son yet! ”

Listening to the confident son speaking in such a lonely tone, Duanmu Li was so happy that there were two more crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, "I didn't expect you to be a confident and arrogant kid." There are also times when it is so unbearable, but I am a little more curious about this little girl! ”

"Father!" Duanmu Xuan felt that his father also had a black belly, so he smiled bitterly and picked up the teacup to hide his embarrassment.

Just as Mo Feng knocked on the door and entered, breaking the embarrassment in the house, "Master, young master, Madame is invited!" ”

"Okay, it's a holiday today, Mofeng, you can also go and rest. I don't have to wait here! The father and son gave a command, got up and went into the inner courtyard.

A reunion dinner was naturally eaten happily, and even the Duchess of Guo, who didn't drink much, drank a little slightly. was helped by the maids into the inner room to rest.

After eating the reunion dinner, Duanmu Xuan couldn't sit still, everything was fine in the mansion, but without the person who was thinking about him, his heart couldn't settle down, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention in the Guogong Mansion. led the night and went straight to Situ Mansion.

Of course, it was a closed door, "The rules of this Situ Mansion are about to catch up with the Guogong Mansion, and it's really thanks to the plug that you are here!" Otherwise, I have a family of people, but I can't even inquire where Yan'er went? Duanmu Xuan shook his head helplessly.

The bolt wanted Duanmu Xuan to sit in the study of the outer courtyard and drink a cup of tea, Duanmu Xuan wanted to see where Situ Yan could still sit, waved his hand, and rode straight to the outside of the capital.

Li Youzhu, who was standing on the side of the bolt, naturally knew about Duanmu Xuan's matter, he was happy for the eldest lady from the bottom of his heart, in his heart, only such a person was worthy of the eldest lady of the Situ Mansion.

Duanmu Xuan came all the way to Fuxiang Village, Situ Yan and his entourage had already entered the village, at this time Li Dalang was greeting Situ Jin and Situ Li, and Erlang was helping Situ Yan prepare a reunion dinner in the stove room.

"I can eat the reunion dinner made by Xiao Wu again, Xiao Wu, don't you know? Although my eldest brother also made a lot of delicious food at last year's reunion dinner, I didn't eat any taste. It's the bitter taste of a mouthful! While lighting the fire, Erlang chatted with Situ Yan.

"Well, I remember that even the eldest brother cried for a long time that night, Xiao Wu, you can't leave without a sound like that, otherwise I won't wait at home like this anymore, even if I search all over the world, I will find you!" San Lang's words are exactly what the four brothers are thinking, they have too many worries in their hearts for the year they have been separated, and they are most afraid that the little sister will not come back if she leaves.

"Before, it was because of an accident with my brother, I was in a hurry to run, and the road was far away, and the eldest brother had just become a village official, and he also needed the care of the second brother in the clan school. And we finally built a house and settled down, how can the family just leave! Don't worry, my brother is now a good person, and the business of the shops in the city has also been done, and now my brothers tell me to go far away, and I won't leave! Situ Yan knew what happened at the beginning, which left a shadow in the hearts of the four brothers, but she had no choice but to let the four of them follow her to take risks. And at that time, she was not completely sure that she could really rescue Situ Jin.

"Xiao Wu is the most trustworthy, since you have promised, you can't change anymore?" Shiro still felt a sense of kinship, and he didn't want to experience the pain at that time.

"Hmmm! I promise, if I leave later, I will definitely tell my brothers! Situ Yan glanced at the three brothers firmly, and the three of them were relieved.

Li Dalang, who was sitting in the room, was chatting with Situ Jin at this time, Situ Li was curious, and Wu Guo led him to look around at this small farmhouse courtyard, although it was not as atmospheric as the blue bricks and gray tiles of Situ Mansion, but it was warm everywhere, "Steward Wu, is this really built by my cousin?" I don't feel shabby at all, and there is warmth everywhere! ”

"Huh? This minion doesn't know, the capital was closed at that time, and the minion hasn't seen the eldest lady yet! Young Master Cousin, it's very cold outside, why don't you go into the house first? Why don't you ask the young master of the Li family? Wu Guo didn't know that these things were difficult to answer.

"Yes!" Situ Li ran back to the main house in a few steps, and just saw Li Dalang chatting with Situ Jin, and as soon as he swallowed a sip of hot tea, he couldn't help but ask about the courtyard.

"Yes, it's not just the house here, when I was in Lijia Village, Xiao Wuzhang built such a house, but unfortunately I didn't live for a few years before I went to war. If there was no Xiao Wu at the beginning, even if the Turkic soldiers didn't come to attack, I am afraid that it would be a drought and insect plague, and our brothers would have died a few times! Not to mention that you can live such a worry-free life now! Li Dalang sighed and talked about the past.

Situ Yan had never even heard of this, Situ Yan would never tell him this, let alone Situ Li and Wu Guo, both of them sat curiously and listened, "Brother Li, little sister Yan'er has to be taken care of by your four brothers, and I am grateful to be a brother!" It's just that Yan'er never told me how the past three years have passed, and I am also very curious, just take this opportunity to tell me carefully? ”

Li Dalang is a sincere person, where did he think that Situ Jin was worried about his sister, and told Situ Jin all the days in the past three years, and Situ Li who listened to it shed tears with Situ Jin several times. Even Wu Guo never thought that the eldest lady had experienced so much, and on weekdays, the eldest lady would even treat them with a smile on weekdays, but she didn't want to suffer so many crimes. No wonder the eldest lady dared to go to the northwest alone to rescue the eldest young master. Thinking of being able to follow such a master, it feels glorious to be a minion.

"Yan'er, you always say that you don't endure hardships, you always hide it as a brother, and even almost killed someone in the mountains, and on the way to escape, you encountered a ringing horse, and even the earth dragon turned over, so many natural disasters**, why don't you tell me?" Situ Jin was almost crying and couldn't hide it, Li Dalang was shocked to realize that something was wrong, but he was still very jealous of Situ Jin's identity and didn't know how to persuade him.

When Situ Yan finished cooking and entered the house, when she saw Situ Jin with a pair of red eyes and looked at her with guilt, she knew that something bad was wrong, it must be Li Dalang who was asked something, this Situ Jin easily stopped mentioning the past, and now her efforts were all in vain, so she had to pull Situ Jin into her room and persuade her with good words.

"Brother, I didn't say that before, I don't want you to worry, we live in this troubled world together, and it is normal to encounter some things, and those are already in the past, brother don't always think about the past, the days have to look forward, now we have worked hard, and when the autumn of the next year, my brother will win the championship again, this day will only get better and better, right?"

"Yan'er, Yan'er, I'm sorry for you for my brother!" Situ Yan's words did not let Situ Jin feel relieved, yes! Compared to what he heard from Li Dalang, Situ Yan could persuade him in a few words.

"Brother, this Chinese New Year's Eve, we can't cry anymore, we have to smile to welcome the new year, we have to smile for our ancestors, and we have to live the next days with a smile!" Otherwise, Brother Lang, they will also be sad with their brother! Situ Yan's words finally stopped the tears that Situ Jin wanted to burst out of his eyes.

Fetching water for Situ Jin to clean his face, the two returned to the hall again, and the family sat together. (To be continued.) )
