Long Xiangye tossed and turned all night, and only at dawn did he close his eyes and take a nap.

When he got up, Xiao Xiangsheng was no longer in bed.

Long Xiangye was shocked, and hurriedly shouted outside the tent: "Herui! Horry! Where did the old man go? He lifted the covers and sat up.

Lotus is the big girl of Long Xiangye, with a long face, two freckles on her cheeks, she is very cool and capable of speaking and doing, and she is usually an indispensable right-hand man of Long Xiangye.

"Madame, don't worry. It was the lord who ordered the lady to sleep a little longer. The old man has already gone to the East Market shop. The master also instructed that he should take the eldest young master out of Lu to see the master today, and take the eldest young master out of Lu together. - What does Madame want to eat in the morning? As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to open the curtain and hung it on the golden net hook beside the bed, and a pair of twisted gold bracelets on Hao's wrist touched the golden net hook, making a crisp sound.

The lord values his eldest son.

Long Xiangye was proud and happy in his heart, and then thought of the old lady's side, and said busily: "The master is good for me, but the master is a man in the end, and he doesn't understand the things in this inner house." How can I sleep? - The old lady is still waiting for me to go to the province of morning and dusk. ”

Xiao Xiangsheng's father died three years ago, and Xiao Xiangsheng's mother, Gu, was reluctant to remarry, so she took her youngest son Xiao Ruisheng to live in the Fengqin Hall in the south of the back garden.

Long Xiangye couldn't help but sigh when she thought of her little uncle. Born to the same father as the master, why is there such a difference in appearance? However, the little brother-in-law is also sixteen years old this year, and it is time to say goodbye, and he can no longer live in the back garden with the old lady.

After breakfast, Long Xiangye took the two little maids to the back garden to ask for peace. The two mothers-in-law each held a ruler wrapped in a red cloth and followed behind.

In Fengqintang, Gu had just had breakfast and was talking to his youngest son Xiao Ruisheng.

Seeing Long Xiangye coming in, Xiao Ruisheng hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Sister-in-law is here." ”

Gu Shi looked at Long Xiangye with a smile, "What about Brother Ji'er?" Why didn't you see him coming? "The eldest grandson, Xiao Shiji, is the treasure of the Gu family, second only to her youngest son Xiao Ruisheng.

Long Xiangye saluted respectfully to the Gu family, "The master took his brother out of the city, saying that he wanted to worship the master for him." - Mother, what time did you start today? Did you sleep well? Have you eaten in the morning? If you want to add anything, tell your daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law will go and do it properly. As he spoke, he turned around and asked his mother-in-law to bring up the two rulers he was holding.

"Mother, these are the two new-colored rulers sent from our family's silk village the day before yesterday." Long Xiangye personally opened the baggage.

Gu was most interested in the materials of the clothes, so he hurriedly went up to take a closer look.

"This double silk pale yellow printed mandarin duck bouquet pattern yarn, impregnated and dyed evenly, the color is delicate, but the layers are progressive, the rendering is appropriate, and the yarn weaving is delicate. The daughter-in-law knew that the birthday of the mother was approaching, so she deliberately asked the guys in the shop to come out and make a Hunan skirt for the mother to wear. Long Xiangye explained carefully, and opened another burden, "Here is a blue background Ruihua brocade, the color is complicated and not crowded, the red and white edges are matched with yellow lines, and the green flower heart, which contrasts with the royal blue ground color, which is not only feminine, but also solemn and decent, can be made into a half-arm, and the lapis lazuli long chain that Xiangsheng brought back from the Western Regions is just a pair!" ”

Gu Shi laughed from ear to ear, and said angrily: "You kid, what you say is better than what you sing!" Then he called his maid to collect two rulers, and said a few more gossips, and said, "Go and get busy." I have Rayson and Watkins with me here, and you take care of the family, as well as Xiangsheng and his brother, which has helped me a lot. ”

Gu is a mother-in-law who doesn't care about things, but it saves Long Xiangye a lot of thoughts.

"Thank you for your kindness. Then I'm gone. Long Xiangye originally wanted to mention Xiao Ruisheng's matter, but seeing that the Gu clan didn't mention it, he had to swallow the words, and when Xiao Xiangsheng came back, let him go and tell the Gu clan directly, which was more appropriate than what he said.

Xiao Xiangsheng took Xiao Shiji to his shop, first looked at the recent account book, asked a few casual words, and said to Xiao Shiji: "Shiji, let's go to your Uncle Du's house for lunch, how about it?" ”

Xiao Shiji smiled: "I listen to my father." ”

Du Xiancheng is bold and informal, and he has a wider range of friends than Xiao Xiangsheng. Xiao Xiangsheng pondered, to introduce Xiao Shihe to a good master, Du Xiancheng knows a lot of people, maybe he can help. Besides, Xiao Shiji is his son-in-law, for the sake of his daughter, Du Xiancheng should also contribute to raising this son-in-law well......

Xiao Xiangsheng pursed his lips and smiled, and took Xiao Shiji to Du's house.

He knew that as long as Du Xiancheng was in Chang'an, no matter how busy he was in the shop, he would go home for dinner.

"Brother Xiao is here? Please, please, please! Du Xiancheng just sat down in the dining room, ready to eat. Fang Yuniang hugged Du Hengshuang, who had just finished breastfeeding, and sat on the side to accompany her.

Xiao Xiangsheng walked in with Xiao Shiji, and saluted the other party's maiden first, "Disturb the two of you." ”

Fang Yuniang smiled: "Brother Xiao will see the outside world when he says this." He invited the father and son to sit down.

There were already two more dishes and chopsticks on the table, and a plate of children's favorite Hu cakes had been added, which had just been fried out of the oil pan.

Since Xiao Xiangsheng came, Du Xiancheng asked people to bring wine over, and the two ate and drank together.

Fang Yuniang saw that Xiao Shiji had finished eating quickly, so she took him to retire and went back to the upper room.

handed over Xiao Shihe to Fang Yuniang, Xiao Xiangsheng was still relieved.

Du Xiancheng sent all the people who were waiting in the dining room away, and talked to Xiao Xiangsheng in a low voice.

Xiao Xiangsheng first explained the intention.

Du Xiancheng agreed, "No problem." I'll ask my brother-in-law tomorrow. He knows a lot of readers, so he should be able to find a good candidate. After speaking, he was curious, "Your father-in-law is not a scholar?" Would it be okay for him to find one? ”

Xiao Xiangsheng didn't want Xiao Shiji to be too involved with the Long family, so he glanced at Du Xiancheng, "My family's affairs, aren't you ignorant of the Tao?" Why bother to mock me again. ”

Du Xiancheng hurriedly put away his smile, and said with a straight face: "Big brother, I'm really not sarcastic. I think that no matter what the Long family is, they are all outsiders of Shiji, you can't be too decisive about them, so that the sister-in-law and Shiji will not look good. ”

Xiao Xiangsheng nodded, "I can save it." It's just that the taxi is too small to distinguish right from wrong. When he is older and sensible, and he is not too able to be provoked, I will talk to him in detail. ”
