The big housekeeper Cheng Dafu has already come out.

Zhichen learned that his father was not at home, so he asked Cheng Dafu to take him to his mother first.

Cheng Dafu asked him: "Third young master, are you sitting in a sedan chair?" ”

He smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, I'm in my own house, don't you take these two steps?" ”

Cheng Dafu said with a smile: "I'm afraid that young master, you have had a bumpy and hard journey." Woo"

Zhichen waved his hand.

Walking back into his mother's courtyard from the main gate, of course, it was a long journey, and he and Cheng Dafu talked while walking, but it was also fast.

"Third Young Master, please." Cheng Dafu asked Zhichen to go first.

Zhichen entered his mother's courtyard, and saw that the little girl Qingdai who ran out of the upper room first, and saw him happy, shouting loudly and clearly, "The third young master is back", which made him smile. When he left home, his mother's original personal maid Marigold had just gotten married, and she had changed this Qingdai, and she often cried secretly because she was clumsy and couldn't do anything well and was scolded by her mother. It can be seen that time has merit.

He looked at the ginkgo trees in the yard, and the leaves had begun to turn yellow......

It's autumn.

Zhichen is to enter a new home, although there is no sense of human wrong, everything is a little strange.

"Chen'er!" Du Shi had also gone out of the room, and when he saw his son in the courtyard, he couldn't help but raise his voice.

Zhichen looked up, only to see his mother standing at the door of the main room, surrounded by a group of people, he didn't have time to take a closer look at who was, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Mother." He walked up the steps and came to Du Shi, and without saying anything else, he was upright and bowed to his mother first.

Du Shi grabbed Zhichen's arm with both hands, and the jasper Buddha beads on his wrist slid down and stuck to Zhichen's arm, and the hands and beads were warm and moist, which made Zhichen's heart soften suddenly.

"Mother......" he smiled, "Mother go in and sit, and the son kowtow to his mother." ”

"What are you doing kowtowing, it's not the New Year, and I don't have a red envelope for you." When Du Shi saw it, his heart was as happy as if a flower had bloomed in the blink of an eye, and his eyes were filled with tears, but he didn't forget to laugh.

"Mother, sit down. As soon as the third brother left home, it will be three years and five years, shouldn't he kowtow to you? He laughed.

"Is the eldest sister always good?" Greetings from all sincerity. After a few years of not seeing each other, the eldest sister's appearance and posture are becoming more and more like his mother, which makes him look amiable.

Zhijin smiled and said yes.

Zhichen really helped Du Shi in, and after inviting her to take a seat, he didn't wait for his subordinates to bring the futon, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Du Shi.

Du Shi's happy eyes wept, and he held his hand, but he sighed, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

"I heard Uncle Fu say that my father went out early in the morning?" Zhichen sat down and asked.

When Du Shi asked, he first sighed before saying, "Exactly." I got up early in the morning and took Lao Jiu to the bank, saying what it was...... Alas, when you see your father, if there is anything, go and ask him. I can't take care of your father's and son's affairs, and I don't bother to sort it out. ”

Zhichen listened to his mother's words, and asked, "Is my father going to personally inquire about business matters again?" ”

"Who knows what he had in mind? He refused to tell me anything, and he always thought that when he told me, I didn't understand. This time, according to Lao Jiu, your father is going to arrange a few experienced elders to take him with him. Lao Jiu frowned sadly as he spoke. His pampered temper and personality can let him do something meticulous, and if he really wants to go to work every day, I'm afraid it will be sad for a while. Du Shi said, sighing again, and couldn't help laughing.

"The ninth brother is smart, and it won't take a few years to be able to take charge on his own." Zhichen said.

Zhiqi said on the side: "That's the case, the third, the ninth is 'suffering on your behalf', you have to treat the ninth well." Otherwise, there is something good for you. ”

Zhichen listened to the eldest sister's words and nodded solemnly.

Seeing that he was serious, Du Shi and Zhijin both smiled.

Du Shi said: "I don't know how many days you can live at home this time." I have long consulted with your father, and this time, whether you agree or not, you will be married. ”

Seeing that Zhichen was about to speak, he hurriedly stopped in front and said, "You listen to your mother first—there is no more unfilial son like you." You are the son of the Cheng family. We don't care how beautiful you are outside, when you return home, you still have to remember the saying 'unfilial piety is the greatest' - you can also bear it, your father and mother are at this age, they should have been teasing their grandchildren a long time ago, and now they have to worry about your marriage. Don't stare at you, you have the ability, you will bring back a daughter-in-law for your father and mother, just like last time, they, and us, will be happy to accept the new daughter-in-law. ”

Zhichen heard the eldest sister say so much, and there was nothing to say for a while, so he paused for a while, but asked: "I heard a little about the tenth sister." How's it going? ”

He then told his mother that he had just met Tao Xiang at the airport.

Du Shi was silent for a long time before he said, "No wonder...... The seventh child of the Tao family, since you have seen it, what do you think? ”

He groaned.

"Xiao Shi is like this, whether the Tao family's seventh child is good or not, it is still second." Zhiqi whispered. There are only three of them in the house, mother and son, and none of them are outsiders, so they have something to say.

Du Shi glared at Zhiqi and said, "How do you say this?" ”

"Mother, if the seventh child of the Tao family hears about this and asks to withdraw from the marriage, won't we be able to push the boat down the river? Who kind of good guy is he? Listening to your description of the seventh child of the Tao family, it is a little difficult for you to say in your heart that you do not approve of this marriage; If you want to force Xiao Shi to marry in the past, it is even more difficult - I don't know what you are thinking? Zhijin said, looked at Du Shi, and smiled.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhichen asked in a low voice.

"It's just a three-year-old mother, it's a long story - you just got home, rest first. Let me tell you slowly. Dushi said.

While their mother and son were talking, they heard someone from outside report that the master had returned home.

When Zhichen heard this, he stood up and went out to see his father.

At this time, Cheng Shiyun's car had just entered the hospital.

Cheng Zhishen has been following his father for a day, and he is already dizzy. As soon as he took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, he saw his father glance at him—there was a deep hatred in his eyes, and he had to tilt his head slightly. But as usual, I wiped my sweat and wiped it meticulously. I knew in my heart that I had made my father angry all day. But originally, whether it was going to the bank to study, going to work, including apprenticeship, there were just a few more people who looked at him to death inside and out. How could he have been so restrained!

The car shook twice and stopped.

Cheng Shiyun couldn't sit still holding the stick of civilization. Zhi Shen hurriedly reached out to help his father.

"Father, be careful...... Uncle Kuan, how do you drive? Zhishen frowned.

Uncle Kuan, the driver, said: "This road has been washed away by several heavy rains this summer, and the pebbles are uneven. The car drove over with great difficulty. ”

"Didn't you just fix it? Father, in a few days, let's let someone shop here again, and replace it with a Simentine. Save yourself the inconvenience of getting in and out. Zhi Shen said and looked at his father.

Cheng Shiyun looked at his youngest son, and when he heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart. I don't know why I looked at Zhi Shen's white skin, handsome appearance, and a little tired and impatient anger at this time, I originally wanted to criticize Zhi Shen for making random moves, but I didn't want to speak.

"Father." Seeing that his father was in a good mood, Zhishen whispered, "Father, look at me...... Can you ......?"

"I first followed Manager Luo for three months as an intern and started from the counter. Three years at most, I want to see you on your own. Cheng Shiyun said.

Cheng Zhishen listened to his father's words, and suddenly his heart was like hiding twenty-five rats, scratching his heart with a hundred claws.

Someone came and opened the door.

Zhishen saw that it was Cheng Dafu, and shouted: "Uncle Fu." ”

"Ninth Young Master, it's been a hard day today." Cheng Dafu smiled. He said to Cheng Shiyun in the car: "Master, the third young master is back." ”

Before Cheng Shiyun could say anything, Zhishen shouted first and asked in a loud voice, "The third brother is back?" When did the third brother come back? What about people? Where is it? "It's really a blink of an eye, and I lost all the steadiness just now.

Cheng Dafu replied with a smile: "The third young master has just entered the door. It was sent back by Second Master Duan personally, and he is now at his wife's. ”

Cheng Shiyun got out of the car.

Hearing the news that the third son had returned home, he didn't say anything special.

Cheng Zhishen said: "Great, it's great that the third brother is back!" At a glance, he saw his father's face sinking like water, and his voice lowered, "It's good that the third brother comes back." ”

Cheng Shiyun glanced at Zhi Shen, as if he knew why Zhi Shen repeated this sentence again and again.

Zhishen smiled and followed his father to the inner house.

He really felt that the third brother came back at the right time......

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and I saw a tall young man walking up the steps in small steps, walking lightly and vigorously, with a characteristic sense of vigor and resoluteness...... Not far away, he stood up and calmly called "father" to Cheng Shiyun.

Cheng Shiyun stood still with a civilized stick, looked at the eldest son with a dusty face, and nodded slowly.

"Father, I'm back." Cheng Zhichen said.

"Third brother." Cheng Zhishen shouted briskly, with an inexplicable joy.

Zhichen nodded at him, "Ninth brother." ”

Cheng Shiyun walked ahead.

Zhi Shen obediently followed behind his father and brother. When his father entered the upper room, Zhi Shen took advantage of the fact that Zhi Chen had not followed in, hugged Zhi Chen, and said in a low voice: "Third brother, you are back, you want to kill me!" His big fist clenched Zhichen, and Zhichen's body made a dull "dong dong" sound.

Zhi Chen smiled.

"Third brother, it's good that you're back. Otherwise, I will send you another telegram to persuade my father. Zhishen said in a low voice and very quickly.

Zhichen didn't say anything, just listened.

Zhishen wanted to talk to him about something else, but saw his father sitting down next to his mother in the house, and the eldest sister served tea to his father, and his father was drinking tea. He looked at it and shut up.

Zhichen said in a low voice: "Let's have a good chat in the evening." ”

"Hey!" Zhi Shen agreed. Watching his brother go up to the room, he stood still for a while.

Zhichen turned around before opening the door, and saw that Zhishen was still standing there looking at him, stunned for a moment, Zhishen scratched his scalp, and turned around and left with a smile.

Zhichen stood for a moment longer.

The wind blows in the hall under the corridor, which is a little cool.

Cheng Zhichen turned around silently and entered the door, before he could stand still, he heard his father open his mouth and asked, "What do you want to come back this time?" ”

Cheng Zhichen sat on the bamboo collapse of Xiangfei and looked at Jingyi's pale and thin face. Jingyi had a reddish scar on her chin, and because her face was pale, the little scar was shocking.

He looked at his little sister in silence.

Jingyi was also silent.

Since that day, she saw the third brother who she hadn't seen for a long time, and she also showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.

The third brother was on vacation at home and came to see her every day. Even if the brother and sister don't say anything, it's good to sit quietly and play a game of chess and spend most of the day......

Jingyi heard the sound of rain falling outside, and looked outside, it was raining again.

Zhichen picked up the teapot at hand and poured a cup of tea for Jingyi.

Qing Lingling's water sounded against the bottom of the cup. The fragrance of tea overflowed, and Jingyi was a little distracted.

Very good jasmine slices, rich and fragrant taste, rushing to the face.

Because she was always taking medicine, the doctor wouldn't let her drink more tea. The mother was attentive and watched her closely, but the doctor just said that she was not allowed to drink more tea, and her mother simply did not let her drink it...... It's melancholy to think about.

"Yi'er?" Zhichen called his sister softly, "Take medicine, the doctor must not let you drink tea, come, warm your hands." ”

Jingyi took the teacup, she didn't look at it, and after a while, she reluctantly smiled and said, "Where am I so afraid of the cold." ”

It was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she didn't show up at the family dinner. In fact, she has recovered well and has been able to sit for a longer time. Qiu Wei helped her get out of bed and moved. Xinglu has been quieter inside and out since she fell. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, even Qiao's mother was let out by her mother to go home for a reunion, leaving only her and Qiu Wei. Although it was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was a rainy day, and there was no moon. She hadn't been able to take a step out of the room for many days, and when she walked out, she felt extremely cold.

She wanted to stand for a while, but Qiu Wei forced her back into the room and took out the smoke cage.

I didn't want to have a banquet, and the third brother and the ninth brother actually came to Xinglu to see her.
