Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe returned to the seat in the middle hall together.

When the people saw that the two of them were coming, they asked Du Hengshuang for advice, and then went back to say hello.

The cooks in the big kitchen are now poking on the fire and stir-frying the hot dishes, and on the other hand, the cooks take out the steamed vegetables and cold dishes in the steamer and put them on the plate, so that the little maids can bring them to the table one by one.

The table was served with appetizers before, and now it is the official Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe first took the child to salute Mrs. Yang Zengtai, who was sitting at the top, served food, and persuaded a few glasses of wine before returning to their place and sitting down.

Xiao Taiji and Xiao Shiji sat together, he looked at Xiao Shiji with a smile and asked, "Big brother, is the second uncle okay in Luoyang?" ”

Xiao Tai and the "second uncle" in his mouth are their deceased father Xiao Xiangsheng's only surviving brother Xiao Ruisheng.

When Xiao Xiangsheng died in prison, Xiao Ruisheng tried to bring someone to rob the eldest brother's family property, but he didn't succeed, but the Liangzi of the two families was settled, and it wasn't until Xiao Shihe grew up and became an official that Xiao Ruisheng was completely convinced and didn't dare to fight with this nephew.

Xiao Shiji asked Xiao Ruisheng to go east, but he didn't dare to go west.

Last year, Xiao Shiji bought a few more properties in Luoyang, and by the way, his second uncle Xiao Ruisheng moved to Luoyang.

First, you can not see him in front of you, and secondly, you can also let him help you look at the house in Luoyang, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Xiao Shiji didn't understand why Xiao Taiji mentioned this second uncle again, squinted slightly, and said, "It's not bad." There are so many houses in Luoyang. The rent alone is enough for him to be busy. ”

Xiao Taiji was stunned for a moment, and his eyes rolled, "Big brother, isn't the house in Luoyang yours?" You......? ”

"It's mine, but the second uncle looks after the house for me, so I give him all the rent. - As long as he can receive the rent, it will be his. Xiao Shihe said with a smile, and poured Xiao Taiji a glass of wine.

"Big brother, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Xiao Tai hurriedly took the wine bottle and helped Xiao Shihe pour wine.

So many years. For the first time, the brothers seem to have shown such brotherly friendliness.

The two of them drank one cup after another. It's very warm.

Xiao Shiji and the amount of wine were practiced in the Tao, and there was a reputation for "a thousand cups of not drunk" in the early days.

Xiao Taiji is different. He was pampered by Long Xiangye since he was a child, and he didn't drink much, so of course he was not Xiao Shiji's opponent.

Drink a bottle of wine. Xiao Taiji's eyes straightened. You can't pick the right eye when you look at people.

Long Shuzhi met on the side. I was very worried about Xiao Taiji, so I leaned over and said softly: "Second master, don't drink anymore, right?" It's all drunk like this......"

Xiao Shiji smiled beside him. Stretched out his hand to cover the wine glass, and said to Xiao Taiji: "Second brother, I see that your daughter-in-law is unhappy." It's been a long time since we've drunk like this, and now we're finally drinking to our heart's content, but we can't enjoy it, alas, it's a pity......"

Xiao Taiji immediately glanced at Long Shuzhi, and said with a big tongue: "Stay and go!" I'm talking to my eldest brother, how can you interject?! ”

In front of so many people, Long Shuzhi's face turned red when she was reprimanded, and she couldn't help but sink her face and said, "You drink like this, how can Ming'er go to see my father?!" ”

Xiao Taiji thought of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he was a little timid, and his hand that was pouring wine paused.

"Afraid of what? Second brother, you are my younger brother, are you still afraid of the two old men of the Long family who have no official position and no position? Xiao Shiji sneered, and poured wine for Xiao Taiji again.

Long Shuzhi was furious when she heard this. Xiao Shiji had never spoken to her before, let alone mentioned her father. In Long Shuzhi's opinion, her mother is the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, although she is a side branch that is too far away, but the lintel is much higher than the Xiao family, Xiao Shiji still dares to look down on her? !

"Uncle, how are you talking? My father and mother are also your elders! Long Shuzhi said politely.

Even if you don't talk about the kinship on her side, her father Long Wenping is the younger brother of Xiao Shihe and Xiao Tai and his mother-in-law Long Xiangye, that is, Xiao Shihe and Xiao Tai and the maternal uncle of the two people!

Xiao Shiji didn't hear Long Shuzhi's words, and with a little drunkenness, he said to Xiao Taiji: "Second brother, women, you can't be spoiled, if you spoil them, you won't know who you are." You are a man, you are the head of the family, don't cower and lose the face of our Xiao family man! ”

Xiao Taiji has already drunk too much, spirits have been able to strengthen people's courage since ancient times, and today he has his eldest brother to help him speak, Xiao Taiji's waist is also straight, and he pushed Long Shuzhi away, and said: "Women's hair is long and insightful, don't mention to me your two troubled fathers and mothers!" - Okay, slap and talk again! Let you know who this family belongs to!? ”

Long Shuzhi's face twitched with anger, but Xiao Shiji clapped his hands next to him and applauded loudly, and said, "Come, let's have another drink!" ”

Long Shuzhi couldn't stand it anymore, got up and walked to Du Hengshuang on the other side, and said with a crying voice: "Sister-in-law, you don't care?" The eldest brother said this about us women, and he brought our second master badly! ”

Du Hengshuang was stunned, looked at Long Shuzhi and said, "Second brother and sister, what did you say?" Our grandfather is the best person, how can he bring your second master? Speaking of which, I'm also worried that our grandfather is too close to your second master, and it's not good to learn from a bad stomach. ”

Hearing Du Hengshuang's words, Long Shuzhi was so shocked that she forgot to wipe her tears, she looked at Du Hengshuang blankly, she couldn't believe that this was Du Hengshuang who once hated Xiao Shihe and begged to leave the court!

“…… Sister-in-law......"

"What?" Du Hengshuang said with a smile, "Don't say these unpleasant words during the New Year." You, you don't have your brother Shun to speak. Today, so many people in our family are instructed by him to turn around, and it is really impossible to boast. ”

Seeing that Brother Shun was mentioned, Long Shuzhi's ears suddenly stood up, and she moved back with a sneer, "How can there be such a thing?" Sister-in-law laughed, our brother Shun is a well-behaved child, don't listen to other people's nonsense. ”

"How so?" Du Hengshuang said, beckoning people to hug Brother Shun in front of her. asked with a smile: "Brother Shun, you tell the eldest aunt that you are in the small garden today, is it that Brother Yang asked you not to tell others, where is he hiding?" ”

In the end, it is a child, Du Hengshuang asked like this, Brother Shun'er's brain was not enough, he looked at Du Hengshuang, his eyes couldn't help but roll, and for a while he looked at Brother Yang, who was "fighting" with a braised hoof beside Du Hengshuang. After a while, he floated to the maid who was hanging her head behind Brother Yang. I don't seem to know what to say.

"Say, Brother Shun, you said it obediently, the eldest aunt and the eldest uncle will give you a big gift." Du Hengshuang continued to persuade Brother Shun.

Brother Shun is clever again. It's just a two-and-a-half-year-old child. He blinked. whispered: "Yes, it was Brother Yang who didn't let me say it." ”

"What did Brother Yang tell you? Can you tell me what he said? Du Hengshuang still refused to give up and continued to ask.

Brother Shun lowered his head. Don't dare to look at Du Hengshuang's eyes again.

"No...... I don't remember. ”

"Don't remember? You don't remember Brother Yang'er's original words, but you remember that he asked you not to tell others? - I don't understand that. Du Hengshuang nodded with a smile, and said to Long Shuzhi, who was a little embarrassed on the side: "Second brother and sister, how do you teach children?" I am ashamed to teach such a smart and clever child. ”

Long Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and a little smug appeared on her face, "Where is it, our brother Shun is not as smart as the three children in the house, he is just more careful and docile." You also know that our family can't be compared with the big brother and sister-in-law's Guogong Mansion. When he said this, he couldn't hide the envy on his face.

"That's right." Du Hengshuang nodded, turned his head to look at Brother Shun, and said, "Brother Shun, the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt love you very much, do you want to stay in our Guogong Mansion and play with Brother Ping, Sister An and Brother Yang?" ”

Long Shuzhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved his hand and said, "I can't help it, our brother Shun is cowardly......"

Du Hengshuang smiled, didn't say anything, and beckoned the people at the table to eat.

Xiao Shiji was talking to the drunken Xiao Taiji over there, "...... The children have finished eating, let them go down and play. ”

Xiao Taiji nodded, and watched Brother Shun go out with Xiao Shiji's three children to set off firecrackers in the yard.

Seeing that it was not early, Xiao Tai and Long Shuzhi got up to say goodbye, saying that they would come to the ancestral hall again tomorrow, it was late today, and the child couldn't stand it and wanted to go back to rest.

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shiji didn't stay, and called Brother Ping, Sister An and Brother Shun to come over and send Xiao Taiji and Long Shuzhi out of the house together.

But I didn't see Brother Shun'er's figure.

"Where did Brother Shun go?" Long Shuzhi asked the maid who followed Brother Shun out just now.

The maid said in confusion, "Isn't it in the courtyard?" ”

"Of course not!" Long Shuzhi was so angry that she went to the yard to look for it two or three times, and even looked at the big water tanks placed in the four corners of the yard, and there was not even a shadow of a person.

"Where's Brother Shun? Where did Brother Shun go? - Brother Ping, you just played with Brother Shun, you told the second aunt, where did Brother Shun go? Long Shuzhi had a white face, pulled Brother Ping'er and didn't let go, so that Brother Ping'er's wrist hurt.

Du Hengshuang hugged Brother Yang, looked at him coldly beside him, and did not speak.

Brother Ping saw that Long Shuzhi was like a different person, and he was also very tired in his heart, and remembered that Long Shuzhi looked like "he would be better to him than to Brother Shun" before, but now she immediately showed her true face, and she was a little more convinced by her father's words.

"I don't know where he is. I'm not a subordinate who watches children, how can I know the way? Brother Ping reached over with one hand and clasped the numb tendons on Long Shuzhi's wrist, Long Shuzhi only felt that her forearm was numb, and she unconsciously let go of her hand, covered her arm and glared at Brother Ping: "You are an elder brother, why didn't you take a good look at your younger brother?" ”

Brother Yang hugged Du Hengshuang's neck, turned his head to look at Long Shuzhi and reprimanded his brother, he was very unhappy, and shouted loudly: "That's my brother!" It's not your brother! If you dare to scold him, I will ignore you! As he spoke, he wrenched himself from Du Hengshuang indignantly, stood in front of Brother Ping, crossed his waist, shrugged his shoulders, like a fat little bulldog, glared at Long Shuzhi, as if she dared to do it again, he would rush up to take a bite!

Long Shuzhi didn't see his only son, her heart was like a pinprick, and as soon as her brain was hot, she stretched out her hand to push Brother Yang away, and pulled Brother Ping, who was standing behind him, over to continue questioning.

Is this still worth it?!

Brother Yang was furious, and sure enough, he pounced on her like a little bulldog, grabbed Long Shuzhi's arm, and bit her hand hard.

"Ah——!h Long Shuzhi was so painful that tears came out, she didn't want to think about it, as soon as she pushed Brother Yang away, she was about to slap it over.

Brother Ping hugged Brother Yang and made him stand firm, and then hit him headlong, knocking Long Shuzhi staggered back a few steps, almost unsteady, and fell on his ass in public.

"Big brother is amazing!" Brother Yang clapped his hands behind him and laughed. Sister An walked over with a smile, took Brother Yang'er's hand, and stepped aside.

Long Shuzhi was angry and anxious, and shouted: "Xiao Taiji! Your sons are gone! You're still in the mood to drink! Drink can't kill you! ”

Brother Ping said with a smile: "Second aunt, don't worry, I saw Brother Shun coming out of that door in a trance, maybe he went home by himself." If you don't believe me, you can go back and take a look. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Shun is only two and a half years old, and he goes home alone? You think he's a god?! Long Shuzhi couldn't care about maintaining her image in front of Brother Ping'er anymore, at this time, she had only one thought in her mind: she wanted to find out her son! Whoever dares to touch her son, she will fight with him!

Xiao Taiji was startled by Long Shuzhi's sharp voice, he looked at the silent Xiao Shiji, and then at Du Hengshuang, who seemed to be smiling, and Long Shuzhi, who was about to be hysterical, was about to be hysterical, and woke up more than half of the wine.

“…… Big brother, what's going on? Xiao Taiji looked puzzled.

"How do I know about the Dao? Your daughter-in-law jumps and screams, what is our home? There was obvious displeasure in Xiao Shihe's voice.

Xiao Taiji calmed down and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, she is also in a hurry. The child suddenly disappeared, and she was in a hurry. Before, my sister-in-law thought that Brother Yang was gone, so she was in a hurry? ”

"yes, that's human nature." Xiao Shiji said slowly, turned around and asked his subordinates: "Where did you see Brother Shun?" ”

A mother-in-law lowered her head and stepped forward and said, "The slave maid saw that Brother Shun seemed to have gone to the wing room over there." ”

"Fart!" Long Shuzhi scolded sharply, "I went to the wing room over there several times just now, where is there anyone?" Don't talk nonsense! ”

Du Hengshuang said to the woman: "You go and take a look." ”

The woman hurriedly went to the wing.

After a while, the woman came out with a sleeping child in her arms and said, "It's the young master, probably secretly drunk the hundred days drunk in the side room, and was so drunk that he fell asleep under the bed." ”
