Chapter 810: Settled
Brother Yang was very strong, and he deliberately showed off in front of Brother Ping, his hands were not light or heavy, and Sister Zheng was staggered by him, and almost sat on the ground.
Brother Ping hurriedly stepped forward, climbed Sister Zheng'er's shoulder with one hand, grabbed her waist with the other, turned back to Brother Yang and frowned: "You just talk well, why do you bother to move your hands and feet?" Look at your strength, the tiger can be strangled to death! ”
Sister Zheng lowered her head, her face flushed, although she wanted to push Brother Ping away, but she was reluctant in the end. She has been looking forward to it for so many years before she gets today's treatment, and she has always felt that there is a very unreal feeling in the clouds, and she does not dare to speak, for fear that as soon as she speaks, she will find that it is just a dream.
Brother Yang exclaimed, "So what? I'm here for the good of Sister Zheng! As he spoke, he was going to pull Sister Zheng'er's arm again.
"Go, go, go! You come less! Be careful if I kick you again! Brother Ping rarely showed his domineering side and glared at Brother Yang.
Brother Yang took a few steps back, pretending to be helpless and said, "Big brother, I am kind enough to remind you." Sister Zheng is not a girl outside, you can kiss if you want, hug if you want, hold hands if you want to......" He said, but his eyes rolled slightly, and at a glance, he knew that he was insincere, and it was deliberate.
However, most of Brother Ping'er's thoughts were on Sister Zheng'er, and Sister Zheng was a little stupid with joy, and she didn't pay attention to what Brother Yang meant.
The three of them frolicked all the way to the door of Du Hengshuang's upper room.
Several people stopped laughing and stopped.
Sister Zheng broke free of Brother Ping'er's hand as if she had just woken up from a dream, and said with a red face: "Aunt Du is here." I went in first. As he spoke, he flashed in through the curtain opened by the maid at the door.
Brother Ping put his hands behind his back and bowed slightly to the maid by the door.
The maid had seen Brother Ping, remembered his appearance, and hurriedly passed the word inside: "Madam, the eldest young master and the second young master are here." ”
Du Hengshuang was curiously looking at Sister Zheng'er's face flushed, and she looked a little helpless in front of her, and after listening to the maid's communication, she responded lightly, "Come in." ”
The maid raised the curtain again.
Brother Ping walked in first. Brother Yang followed behind him. The brothers entered the house together.
Du Hengshuang looked up and saw a handsome young man walking in, and said to himself: "Mother, the child is back." "It is Xiao Yiping, the prince of Zhuguo, who is as bright as the bright moon and makes countless nobles in Chang'an City secretly agree. Brother Ping, the eldest son of Du Hengshuang, the wife of Qin.
Brother Ping inherited Xiao Shihe's beautiful appearance. But he does not have the fierce and murderous aura that Xiao Shihe has cultivated in the army for many years. has always been a humble gentleman, gentle as jade, in the girl's heart, better than the demeanor of Xiao Shiji, the prince of Zhuguo.
"Brother Ping is back. How are you doing on the road? Du Hengshuang suppressed the joy in her heart, looked at her son proudly, and smiled and asked Brother Ping to sit down.
Brother Yang also came up and said to Du Hengshuang: "Mother, as soon as the eldest brother comes back, my mother won't see me in her eyes!" ”
"You monkey head, you know how to be entangled! Hurry up and tell the kitchen that tonight's family dinner, everyone will have dinner together. Du Hengshuang thought that yesterday's banquet was not completed, and Xu Shao said that he was tired and did not come to eat. She and Xiao Shiji ate casually in the study, and everyone happened to get together today.
Brother Yang answered loudly, and was about to leave, when Zhishu came over to stop him, and said with a smile: "Madam, let's go as a slave." Brother Yang is a man's family, a person who does big things, why should Mrs. use these things to embarrass him? smiled and relieved Brother Yang'er.
"Thank you, thank you!" Brother Yang smiled and bowed his hand to Zhishu and sat down below Brother Ping.
Du Hengshuang's mother was heartfelt, and when she looked at Brother Ping, she asked about his living and eating in Chang'an.
Although Brother Ping is alone in Chang'an, Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang have a lot of relatives and friends in Chang'an, and there are many servants in the Zhuguo Mansion, and Du Hengshuang almost has to send people to Chang'an every month to deliver things, so Brother Ping'er is no worse than in Fanyang.
However, Du Hengshuang still wants to ask, this is due to the nature of being a mother.
Brother Ping'er is already docile, and he admires Du Hengshuang even more, and after listening to his mother's inquiry, he told Du Hengshuang about his days in Chang'an one by one.
Sister Zheng was a little embarrassed and wanted to hide in the house, but Brother Ping said it so carefully that she couldn't help but listen.
Brother Ping talked for a while, Brother Cheng and Brother Xin also came back, the two of them cheered and went up to greet Brother Ping, and pulled him to ask for gifts, Brother Ping smiled and said, "I will send you to the room." ”
The four brothers haven't seen each other for a few years, but they are still close, making the atmosphere in the house lively.
Xiao Shiji stood in front of the door for a while, looking at the family in the hall with a smile.
Since he learned the news yesterday, he hasn't slept well, and his mood is very low and heavy.
I saw my family today, and I came out of depression.
"Brother Ping is back." Xiao Shiji's mellow voice came from the door.
The frolic in the middle hall came to an abrupt end.
Brother Ping turned around first and greeted Xiao Shiji at the door.
Brother Yang, Brother Cheng, and Brother Xin followed behind and saluted Xiao Shihe.
Over the years, Du Hengshuang has been a loving mother, and Xiao Shiji has been a strict father.
And Xiao Shiji is in power, moving his body, nourishing and moving his qi, and he is becoming more and more majestic.
These sons are becoming more and more respectful to Xiao Shiji, and they are not as close as they were when they were children.
Of course, maybe Brother Yang is an exception. He is born with a temperament that is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he has great ideas, although on the surface he is still the same as the two little brothers, and he is more and more respectful to Xiao Shiji, but in fact, behind the scenes, he is still the same as before, some are not big or small.
Of course, Siu Shi-ji wouldn't mind. And he actually wants these people to treat him like before, of course, except for Du Hengshuang, no one really treats him like before.
"Sit, come back suddenly, what's the matter?" Xiao Shiji asked quietly. In fact, Xu Shao had already told him about those people's contact with Brother Ping. Xiao Shiji was worried that Du Hengshuang would be frightened, so he only mentioned it to her slightly.
Brother Ping thought about it. Said: "There are some things I want to tell my father." He added: "I haven't come back for a few years, and I really miss my mother and younger brothers." ”
Brother Cheng smiled when he heard this, and then said, "My sister hasn't been back for several years. When are we going to pick up my sister and come back for a few days? "The sister he said is Sister An.
Sister An got married two or three years ago and married Chai Erlang of the Chai family in Qinzhou. Qin Zhou and Fan Yang were too far apart, and of course she couldn't come back as soon as she wanted to.
Of course, even if they are close, the married woman can't come back as soon as she wants to.
Du Hengshuang thought of her daughter who was married far away, and her expression was gloomy.
Sister Zheng silently held Du Hengshuang's hand. Give her a warm smile.
Brother Ping just turned around. Seeing Sister Zheng'er's empathetic appearance, I was very ironed.
Xiao Shiji smiled, "Miss the second sister?" I just want to send someone to Qinzhou to send a letter to your second sister by the way. Pick her up and stay for a few days. "I looked at Brother Ping again." It just so happened that Brother Ping was also back. The whole family gets together. ”
"Wow!" Brother Cheng and Brother Xin laughed happily and barked like wolves.
Sister Zheng whispered to Du Hengshuang: "Aunt Du, the second sister will be back soon." Let's go and see the yard where the second sister lives? Successfully distracted Du Hengshuang's attention.
Du Hengshuang smiled: "It's to re-prepare." She is now married, and I wonder if Aunt Lu Dao will come back with her. ”
The two stood up hand in hand.
Xiao Shiji smiled, nodded to Du Hengshuang, and then looked at Brother Ping, "Follow me." "Take Brother Ping to the outer study to talk.
Brother Yang'er rolled his eyes, dismissed his two younger brothers, and ran to the guest house where Xu Shao lived, and tried to trick Xu Shao's words while chatting and greeting.
What kind of old fox Xu Shao is, how could he not see Brother Yang'er's intentions?
As a result, between three words, Brother Yang did not catch Xu Shao's words, but was turned up by Xu Shao about Brother Ping'er's affairs.
"Brother Ping is back? In the evening, everyone should eat together and have a good time. Xu Shao said with a grin.
……
In Xiao Shiji's outer study, Brother Ping sat on the chair opposite Xiao Shiji, and General 1510 told him about Chang'an.
What Sebo and the little maid said and did, he told Xiao Shihe as it was, and let Xiao Shiji make up his mind.
This matter involves his grandfather Xiao Xiangsheng, and it is not something he can decide.
His grandfather passed away before he was born, and Brother Ping had respect for his grandfather for his elders, but he did not have the same admiration as Xiao Shihe. After all, family affection is the same as feelings, and they are all dealt with. Even if it is biological, if it is not in one place for a long time, the relationship will be rusty. What's more, this kind of intergenerational relatives who have never met in person?
Xiao Shiji listened quietly for a while, compared what Brother Ping said with what Xu Shao said, and found that it could match everywhere, and his frowning brows gradually loosened. - It seems that Xu Shao did not lie to him, and Brother Ping did not hide it from him.
"Well, don't meddle in this matter anymore. The little maid handed it over to me, no matter how hard she is, it falls into the hands of my Xiao Jiajun, even if she is dumb, she will speak, and the stone man will squeeze oil out for me. Xiao Shiji said lightly.
Brother Ping didn't talk much. Although he has a good temperament, he is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between importance and is blindly pedantic.
The power represented behind the little maid, as well as their holiday with their own family, can be described as a sea of blood feud. At this time, if he still has to worry about what kind of "treatment" the little maid will receive, it is simply a tiger skin. Is he so stupid?
The little maid took advantage of him and came from Chang'an to see Xiao Shiji.
Didn't he take advantage of the little girl's eagerness to bring her to Fan Yang and let her fall into the net?
has entered the range of her father's power, and this little girl wants to get out alive, it's difficult!
Brother Ping smiled: "It's none of my business, I have other things to do, Dad, you can do it." ”
Xiao Shiji smiled, "Something else?" What else do you have to do? ”
Brother Ping was speechless, and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I don't have any personal matters." After a pause, he reminded Xiao Shiji, "Dad, I'm twenty-two, it's time to get married." ”
Xiao Shiji sneered, "Do you still know that Lu Dao is married?" I thought you were going to be a monk. ”
Brother Ping didn't want to get married, Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang didn't force him, let alone find a matchmaker to kiss him all day long. No matter who wants to marry them, they all want to start a business first. Getting married again, this reason blocked back.
Brother Ping also knows this very well, and is very grateful for his father's thoughtfulness.
"Dad, in the past, the child didn't want to marry casually, and he mistook another woman." Brother Ping said.
Although getting married is a matter of two families, it is also a matter of two people. It is an act that benefits the family when two people have a good feeling, rather than tying two people together for the sake of family interests. Such perverse bondage will always damage the interests of the family in the end.
Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang are from the Hanmen Shu family. Since childhood, he has been a sweetheart. is to get married on the premise of feelings. Therefore, he and Du Hengshuang agreed with Brother Ping'er's choice.
Now listening to Brother Ping'er say this, Xiao Shiji didn't ask much, but said, "It seems that you have someone in your heart." But let me remind you, with the current status of our Xiao family. And your identity. You should know who you can like. What people can't like. If you want to marry home and be a wife, although you must be able to enter your eyes, but the external conditions of status and status. You can't ignore it either. In a word, it must be the right person, otherwise neither your mother nor I will agree. ”
Brother Ping was amused when he heard it, but he still deliberately said: "Huh? What if it's not the right match? What if I have to marry? What about dad and mom? ”
Xiao Shiji also smiled, put one arm across the bookcase, leaned over and said with a smile: "What's so difficult?" If you have to marry that kind of woman, we won't stop you. It's just that you can't stay in this Xiao family. Your position as the son of the world must also be given up, and all the benefits you have obtained from the Xiao family must be given up. You alone take a hundred taels of silver, and go out to live. If that woman knows that you are penniless, and you are no longer the eldest young master of the Xiao family and the son of the Zhuguo Mansion, and she still wants to marry you, then marry you. Horizontal and vertical have nothing to do with us. ”
Brother Ping gave Xiao Shihe a thumbs up, "So ruthless." Terrible! Admire, admire! ”
"That's it! You're almost like Brother Yang. Xiao Shiji waved his hand with a headache and drove Brother Ping out of the city.
Brother Ping went back to the inner courtyard with a smile, first went to Du Hengshuang to sit there, and saw that Sister Zheng was not in Du Hengshuang's room, so he talked for a while, and went to find Sister Zheng.
Later, Du Hengshuang heard Zhishu secretly tell her that Brother Ping accompanied Sister Zheng in the back garden to pick impatiens and mash juice to paint Sister Zheng's nails, and Du Hengshuang couldn't help laughing.
These two children, are they finally looking at each other?!
“…… Quietly, as if there is no trouble, don't shame them. Du Hengshuang instructed in a low voice.
A few days later, the person who went to Qinzhou to deliver the letter came back, first explained his official affairs, and then reported, "Our aunt and grandmother are happy, and my aunt is reluctant to let my aunt and grandmother have a bumpy journey while pregnant, and said that after giving birth, I will find a day and come to Fanyang with the child to see the lord and Mrs." ”
"Huh? Sister Ann is happy? Xiao Shiji was in a trance. He's going to be a grandfather?!
When he returned to the inner courtyard for dinner in the evening, Xiao Shiji told everyone the good news of Sister An'er.
There was jubilation at the table.
Brother Cheng and Brother Xin shouted, "I'm going to be an uncle!" I'm going to be an uncle! ”
Du Hengshuang was also overjoyed, and said busily: "I'm going to sum up with Xue'er to see what kind of medicinal materials and food to give her." This is her first child, by the way, do you still have to ask Susu? ”
Sister Zheng was busy beside her: "I'm going to write to my mother and ask what needs attention." ”
Brother Ping hurriedly said: "No need, I'll write it." You're a girl, ask what do you do with these things? ”
Sister Zheng pursed her lips and smiled, although she wanted to talk back, she wanted to say that you are still a man, is it embarrassing to ask these things? But looking at so many people at the banquet, he said that he would inevitably not give Brother Ping face, so he just smiled softly.
Brother Yang looked at Sister Zheng so gentle and easy to talk, and couldn't help but secretly say, why didn't I find so many benefits for Sister Zheng'er, it's really cheap big brother, while scratching his head and saying, "Big brother, you are so blessed." Sister Zheng has such a good temper, you will be blessed for the rest of your life. ”
Sister Zheng was so ashamed that she immediately ran away from the seat.
Brother Ping was so angry that he kicked Brother Yang, poured wine on him, and shouted: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" Really, if you can't speak, don't say it! Don't make any noise! ”
Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe looked at each other and smiled.
When Xu Shao saw this scene, he couldn't stop twisting his beard during the banquet, and he was very happy.
After the banquet dispersed, Xiao Shiji said to Du Hengshuang: "That little girl's mouth has finally been pried open. Lord Xu and I decided to go to Chang'an tomorrow to ask His Majesty for a special order to send troops to the Turkic court. After a pause, he said: "It just so happens that we are going to Anguo Mansion for Brother Ping'er to propose marriage, you can go to Chang'an with me." ”

Although there is only one watch, there are 4,500 words, which is equivalent to two changes, right? It's the middle of the month, I don't know if you can see everyone's pink ticket?
