Xiao Shiji's direct refusal made Long Xiangye's face very unbearable, and when he heard Xiao Shiji mention his father Xiao Xiangsheng, he couldn't help but cry, and choked up: "If your father is still here, where do you need me to worry about these things?" If you don't appreciate it, forget it, and say as if I'm going to hurt you! - You are my own son, crawling out of my belly, I will harm you? ”

When the maids and women in the house saw it, they knelt down in the room, and begged: "The old lady has just recovered from her illness, so don't make the old lady angry." ”

Xiao Taiji also said anxiously: "Big brother, it's just two maids, so why don't you accept it?" Why do you want to make your mother angry over these little things? ”

Xiao Shiji also stood up from the sandalwood chair and apologized to Long Xiangye: "Mother, I was wrong just now, but I really don't need to have a maid in the room, these two maids, if my mother likes it, keep it for herself." ”

No matter what Long Xiangye does, Xiao Shiji just won't let go.

Over the years, the person in charge of this family is actually Xiao Shiji. Although he is polite and filial, his ears are not soft, and he has never given up on what he wants to do.

Long Xiangye knew that this time it would not be successful, so he said angrily: "Since you don't want it, give it to your brother." Let me tell you, your brother has just decided on a family business, don't just think about your own affairs, and care more about your younger brothers and sisters. ”

Xiao Shiji then asked, "Whose house is it?" ”

"It is Guan Yunlian, the daughter of Guan County Cheng in Chang'an County. You've met once, too. Long Xiangye couldn't go on, so he had to wipe his tears with a handkerchief. Pick up the Persian cat on his knee and hand it to the cat hugger behind him.

Xiao Shiji vaguely remembered that there was such a family, and thought that Xiao Taiji was already fourteen years old, and he really wanted to say goodbye, so he nodded and said, "It's good that my mother likes it." I'll check out their family when the time comes, just in case. ”

Long Xiangye nodded listlessly and waved them out.

Xiao Tai and the maids in the room had the most, and this time they brought two back, which was enough to open two tables of mahjong.

Xiao Yanran has the best relationship with her second brother Xiao Taihe, and her face is not good-looking when she looks at Xiao Tai and the two big girls around her. smiled and asked Xiao Taiji in a low voice: "Second brother." Aren't you afraid that the maid in your room will be unhappy? ”

Xiao Taiji said nonchalantly: "It's just slaves and maids, treat them a little better, and treat yourself as your master." Dare to throw his face at the second master and sell it directly. ”

Out of the corner of Xiao Yanran's eye, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Tai and the two big maids behind her, and immediately became sincerely frightened. Secretly funny. "Second brother. You're still more capable. Although there are many people in the room, it is respectful and orderly, and it is also worry-free. ”

A few days passed. Xiao Shiji deliberately found an opportunity to check the Guan family, and found that his family was not bad, the population was simple, there were no concubines and aunts in the family, several children were all concubines, and he had just taken in a relative who had been sent from afar, and Guan Yunlian, the daughter of the Guan family, was also a girl raised in the boudoir, so he didn't say anything more.

Long Xiangye said that he was sick again, and he had been lying in bed, and he was all handled by the matchmaker.

Although the Xiao family is rich, Xiao Shiji is just a six-grade idle official, and Xiao Taiji is a small person in cloth, and Guan Yunlian, the concubine of Jiupin County, is still a good match.

After deciding on the marriage, Xiao Shiji asked Xiao Taiji if he wanted to go to school to test his fame, and he would be an official in the future.

Xiao Taihe said with a smile: "Big brother, you haven't gone to school to take the fame test, and you can still be an official." I can be like you, and I'm satisfied. The hippie smiled and played around Xiao Shiji, beating his legs for a while, rubbing his shoulders for a while, a harmonious scene of brothers, friends and brothers.

When Xiao Tai was growing up, the Xiao family was in great trouble. Later, Xiao Shiji was bent on reviving the family business, running around all day long, and he was just a teenager who couldn't do both.

Long Xiangye has been sad and sad, and threw the two children to the care of the adoptive mother and the maid mother-in-law, ignoring the education of the two children.

Xiao Yanran is okay, she is a girl, she just needs to know words. Xiao Taiji is a boy, and he will start a family and be the master of his own family in the future.

Xiao Shiji discussed with Long Xiangye, "Mother, do you want the second brother to go to school?" King Yijun promised to help him introduce him to the best school in Chang'an City. ”

Long Xiangye thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's enough for you to be an official in our family, let your second brother stay by my side." Our Xiao family has such a big family business, and we have to be shouldered by others. You don't know that Lu Dao will be assigned to the ends of the earth in the future, and you can't do business as an official, so let your second brother take care of the Xiao family's shops. ”

Xiao Shiji sighed. Xiao Tai didn't go to school, and he didn't even know much about words, how could he trust him to take care of those shops? Also, half of his shop is actually the property of the Yijun Palace, not the property of their Xiao family. Of course, there is no need for these things to let Long Xiangye know.

"Mother, the second brother wants to learn to do business, it's not impossible, but he has to go to school to know a few more words, otherwise he won't even be able to understand the account book, those shopkeepers are better than ghosts, otherwise he won't be able to suppress the formation."

Long Xiangye thought it was a good idea. She wanted to stay with this youngest son, but the family's business was so big, it was impossible not to be shrewd, so she said: "If you want to learn something, you don't have to go to the academy, right?" Our Xiao family has silver, you go find a better gentleman to come back, and teach your second brother alone, right? Oh, no, I want to ask a few female gentlemen to teach your sister. ”

That's fine, as long as the younger siblings can learn something, hopefully it's not too late.

Xiao Shiji, while feeling guilty that he had not paid attention to his younger brothers and sisters all these years, hurriedly invited his husband back, and specially set aside a courtyard in Xiao's house to make a study for Xiao Taiji, so that Mr. could live there.

The two female gentlemen invited to Xiao Yanran lived with her in her yard.

Throughout the month, the Xiao family passed in a busy manner.

Since Du Hengshuang shot and killed the prostitute queen Xiaofu in the north gate of Pingkangfang, he has lived in the Xu family and has never come out again.

In June of the next year, that is, the first year of Yongchang, she is about to die. In August after the ceremony, she was to get married.

Although it is a family affair ordered from a young age. The large dowry has already been prepared, but the red hijab and wedding dress used by the bride, as well as the gifts to be given to the husband's family after entering the door, all have to be made by her.

Xiao Shiji was also busy renovating the house in the Xiao family, painting it inside and out. In order to make Du Hengshuang comfortable, he even laid a ground dragon in the new house he prepared, and a clean room in the inner room dug a small bathing pool with a whole piece of light white jade.

Next to the clean room is a fire room, in which the mother-in-law takes care of the hot water for twelve hours a day. The boiling hot water can flow down the bamboo tube to the jade pool next door, which is the most convenient way to bathe in winter.

After the end of the year, Xiao Shiji's new house renovation project has finally ended.

Long Xiangye heard that the courtyard of the new house was completed. I also came with some interest. With a smile, he held Xiao Tai and Xiao Yanran's hands and came to the courtyard of the new house to visit.

Entering the gate is an octagonal gazebo, standing in the middle of the courtyard. Inside the gazebo, there is a one-person-high square clamp interstitial screen. It's just like the wall that ordinary people look at when they enter the door. The scenery in the courtyard is tightly blocked. But it doesn't look bloated and old, it's the good thought and good design in the inner courtyard.

Long Xiangye looked at this large courtyard that could build a gazebo and was not too crowded, and his face pale.

She lives in Hee Wo Yuan. Originally, it was the main house of the Xiao family's mansion. But compared with the courtyard of the new house prepared by Xiao Shihe, it is simply the house where the maid and the maid live.

Long Xiangye held Xiao Taiji's hand, walked around the pavilion, and walked inside, just as he didn't see the famous peonies planted under the four walls of the courtyard, and the flowers that fit the four seasons.

Came to the front of the steps, one left and one right planted two Xifu begonias, actually bloomed in the first month, the silk spit out, see the dragon fragrant leaves snorted heavily, said: "What flowers bloom in the winter!" If things are abnormal, there must be demons, which is not a good thing......"

When I came to the new house, it was empty and unfurnished.

Long Xiangye felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

However, Xiao Taiji smiled beside him: "Here is waiting for the dowry of my sister-in-law." ”

Long Xiangye suddenly remembered that the big families here married their daughters, and even the furniture was accompanied by her mother's family. The Du family must have sent someone to measure the size and beat the furniture according to the size.

Their Xiao family is rich, and the Du family is not poor.

Over the years, they have the support of Luoyang Da Sima, and the Du family's business may be bigger than the Xiao family.

And the Du family only has two daughters, and of course this family wealth has to be sent away.

Thinking of this, Long Xiangye's heart was in a mess, and he hurriedly looked inside and out of the new house, especially staying in the chic clean room for a while.

Returning from the courtyard of Xiao Shiji's new house, Long Xiangye fell ill in bed again.

When Du Hengshuang heard about it at the Xu family, he was embarrassed to come to the door in person, so he had to send his maid over three times a day to ask for peace.

After Long Xiangye fell ill, Zhu Susu became a frequent visitor to the Xiao family again. She felt that Long Xiangye was very sick this time, and after pondering for a long time, she understood Long Xiangye's thoughts, and only sneered frequently in her heart.

Since Long Xiangye wanted to pretend to be sick, Zhu Susu did not expose her, but made her think of a good move, so she endured not to speak, and used warm medicine to recuperate Long Xiangye's body, only when it was almost June, Zhu Susu said to Xiao Shiji: "Brother Xiao, my aunt's illness this time is probably not very good." ”

Xiao Shihe helped King Yijun go to the field to do something for a while, and he was not in Chang'an for three months, because he was worried about Du Hengshuang's June ceremony, so he hurried back, but when he came back, he saw Long Xiangye sick in bed again.

"Is there really no way?" Seeing Long Xiangye's thin and pale appearance, Xiao Shiji was very sad.

"It's not that it can't be helped. You have to know that Lu Dao, aunt's illness, now that the medicine stone is reckless, the sword is about to go sideways, maybe there is still a chance. Zhu Susu said with a worried face.

"What's the solution? You say, I'll do it! "Xiao Shihe is categorical.

Zhu Susu said: "I think you can give it a try." ”
