Chapter 130: Paving the Way
The first to walk in front was a tall, majestic man, wearing a homely dark coat, with his hair in a bun on the top of his head, and a black jade hairpin inserted horizontally. On the beams of the roof hung two palace lamps with white jade flower and bird patterns inlaid with red sandalwood, emitting a white and warm light, reflecting on the man's face, and a pair of black eyes became more and more black and dull than the black jade hairpin on his head.
His eyebrows are slightly long, very dark, and the same color as his hair, but the eye sockets are slightly sunken, but the eyes are more deep.
Men are too beautiful and generally a little girly, but this man is handsome and only heroic, and masculinity comes to his face.
As soon as he entered the room, the eyes of everyone in the room couldn't help but turn to him.
Long Shuzhi stopped in a daze, came to Long Xiangye's side, and asked curiously, "Third aunt, is this the eldest cousin?" "Judging by the age, it should be the eldest cousin Xiao Shiji, right?
Xiao Shiji is too eye-catching, and Xiao Taiji who is behind him is like an invisible man. Wherever the two of them appeared together, most of them couldn't see Xiao Taiji, only Xiao Shiji.
Xiao Taiji was actually very handsome. is different from Xiao Shiji's handsomeness, Xiao Taiji's handsomeness is very thin, and his figure is not as tall and mighty as Xiao Shihe, but he is wearing a moon-white robe, and he smiles when he sees people, polite, and gentle as jade, which is much more intimate than Xiao Shiji's always unsmiling appearance.
However, in Long Xiangye's eyes, this younger son is much more intimate than the eldest son, smiled and beckoned Xiao Tai to come over, and said to Long Shuzhi: "That's the eldest cousin, this is your second cousin." When you were a kid, you loved to play with your second cousin. Climbing a tree and catching a little finch in the house is not something that you two haven't played. ”
Long Shuzhi blushed, grabbed Long Xiangye's clothes and twisted them like candy, and while twisting, she swept Xiao Shiji and Xiao Tai and his brothers with his eyes. The "eldest cousin" and "second cousin" screamed quieter than the mosquito humming, and they couldn't hear it at all if they didn't open their ears.
Xiao Shiji has kung fu, but he can hear it, but he pretends not to hear it, and arches his hand silently.
Xiao Taiji stood close and heard it. smiled at Long Shuzhi. "Cousin, I haven't seen you for two years, do you remember my cousin?"
Xiao Taiji has a good voice, and his voice is as smooth as silk. Long Shuzhi somehow. His eyes were attracted by Xiao Taiji. Quickly glanced at Xiao Tai and the other side, just in time to meet Xiao Tai and the focused eyes, and couldn't help but pound. I can't even cover it with my hands. Her heart beat like a drum, and the girl was young and shy, for fear that others would hear her rumbling heartbeat, so she hurriedly ran back, lifted the curtain of the carved floor cover with one hand, and went into the room.
Long Xiangye said with a smile: "Your cousin has just come back from Qinghe's ancestral house, and now she is a guest in our house, you have to treat her well, don't let her be wronged." If I hear, I will not listen. ”
Xiao Shiji smiled, "I'll let Shuang'er take care of it more." ”
Long Xiangye nodded with satisfaction, sat on the bed of the Arhat in the north, and said: "Should she be close to your daughter-in-law, they are all sisters, Shuang'er is big, she is small, you have to take care of her from a young age, and you will have love in the future." ”
This was said in a nondescript manner, even Xiao Taiji frowned, but quickly calmed down again, took a step forward, came to Long Xiangye's side, and asked with a smile: "Mother, how are you today?" What did you eat? Tired or not? I'll give your old lady a beating on the back. As he spoke, he took the beauty that was placed on the small cabinet at the end of the Luohan bed and hammered it over, and bowed down to gently beat Long Xiangye's back.
Long Xiangye was very useful, but he didn't stop him, let him be filial, just looked at Xiao Shiji, who was standing on the ground speechless, and talked about the events at today's birthday feast, "Today's birthday, there are some things that shouldn't have been said, but if you don't say it, you can't do it." - Your daughter-in-law, you should teach it well. This is not a matter of interest in her position, and it is in vain that you trust her, but she has forgotten to allocate money to the inner court. If it weren't for your younger siblings taking out the private house to subsidize it, your mother might have starved to death. ”
Xiao Taiji hurriedly said: "What did my mother say?" If I don't have any money, even if I go out to beg for food, I will ask for it back for my mother. With me, my mother will be fine, and the wind and rain will not be able to drench my mother's head. ”
"You, just one mouth, you know how to make your mother happy." Long Xiangye smiled very happily, and occasionally looked at Xiao Shi and his eyes.
Xiao Shiji didn't stand still, and said with his hands: "Mother, I asked about today's matter, although Shuang'er is not cautious, but the second brother and sister deliberately spread the ugliness of the family, lest the world will not be chaotic, it is too much." "The male guest who came to the door today was eating wine in the outer courtyard, which was prepared by the large kitchen in the outer courtyard, but it had nothing to do with the inner courtyard, and there was no joke about not eating and drinking. Therefore, the turmoil in the inner courtyard, only after those gentlemen went home, did they learn about the Xiao family's big joke from their wives.
Seeing this, Xiao Taihe hurriedly threw the beauty and stood up, stood up with his hands down, and responded in a low voice: "Big brother is right, I'll teach her a lesson when I go back." ”
Xiao Shiji thought of Xiao Taihe's last slap and knocked out a child, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Forget it, what can you teach you a lesson?" Let's let my mother teach. As he spoke, Xiao Shihe wiped the jasper wrench on the thumb of the other hand with one hand, and there was a smile in his voice, "Mother, you are the best at setting rules for your daughter-in-law, so it is better to discipline your second brother and sister well." Although she is also from an official family, she heard that her family education is average, she is pampered at home, and she is not very sensible. In the future, the life of our family will only get better and better, and the second brother and sister are still in this manner, which is really unacceptable. ”
"In terms of pampering, who can compare to your frosty sister......" Xiao Taiji sneered in his heart, of course he didn't dare to show it, but he said resignedly: "Big brother is right, my mother should discipline her well." She is the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and she will lose the face of the Xiao family in the future. ”
Seeing that the two sons agreed, Long Xiangye had no choice but to nod and say, "I have always been generous, although I have two daughters-in-law, I only treat them as daughters." But we are all like us, it is not possible to have no rules, so let Yunlian follow me and learn some rules. ”
Of course, Xiao Taiji didn't disagree, he praised it at the moment, and said that he was a hard worker, and picked up the fan to fan Long Xiangye violently.
When Long Xiangye's eldest maid Mei Xiang saw it, she hurriedly came over and smiled: "Second young master." Now that autumn has begun, it is very cold at night, and I forgot to put away this fan, but let the second young master find it. ”
It's autumn. When Long Xiangye saw this fan, he thought of the sentence "Autumn fan donation", and felt uncomfortable. It's just that he didn't finish speaking, so he continued with some energy: "Today's incident is that our Xiao family is ugly, and it was originally the fault of the eldest daughter-in-law. However, the eldest daughter-in-law is sensitive and adaptable. Immediately went to the champion building and called a good banquet to come over. It's even if it's made up for it, so I won't pursue her mistakes. I already told her when I was here to say goodbye, and you are not allowed to talk about her again, boss. ”
Xiao Shiji responded with a smile.
Long Xiangye said to Xiao Taiji again: "Your daughter-in-law's fault is even greater. Family matters. Behind closed doors, it's a family. You can make any fuss. But when outsiders are present. To publicize the ugliness of the family is to increase the sin to the first degree. You go back and talk to your daughter-in-law and fine her for half a year's monthly money. Do you remember? ”
Xiao Taiji also responded, saying that he would reason with Guan Yunlian when he went back, and asked Long Xiangye to teach Guan Yunlian well in the future.
Long Xiangye nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and asked Xiao Shiji and Xiao Taihe to sit down and talk about business.
"Your cousin's grandfather, the Cui family, will soon have a great event of flowers and cooking oil, and our Xiao family will also express it." Long Xiangye said, glancing at Xiao Shiji and Xiao Taihe, "The crown princess of the crown prince is Cui Zhenzhen, the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family, and your cousin's maternal ancestor family is of the same clan and clan. ”
Although Xiao Shiji had a calm face, he couldn't hold back at this time, so he hurriedly put his fist to his mouth to block it, turned his head and coughed, hiding his laughter.
Three thousand miles in one table. The relationship between the cousin and the crown princess is really too far away, right?
Long Shuzhi's mother is from the Qinghe Cui family, but her mother's father, that is, Long Shuzhi's maternal grandfather, is from the concubine room of a servant girl in the side branch of the Qinghe Cui family.
That is, the side branch of the five suits, and the Qinghe Cui family, except for the surname "Cui", probably not much connection.
However, the Qinghe Cui family is a prestigious family for hundreds of years, and the most important thing is the friendship of the same clan and the same clan, although the relationship is far away, but the relationship is still much closer than that of passers-by, plus living together, they can also touch the light of the Cui family on weekdays.
Long Shuzhi's maternal grandmother and Long Xiangye are of similar origin, both of them are the daughters of Xiucai. Long Shuzhi's maternal grandmother has to learn more talent. The concubine of such a family, Long Wenping, the concubine of the Long family, who is married to the Long family, is the right person.
Long Wenping and his wife are quite harmonious, giving birth to three children, two daughters, and a son, Long Shuzhi is the eldest and the most loved by her grandmother. Of course, this maternal grandmother is her maternal grandfather's original main room, and her mother's biological mother is actually a concubine. The concubine is not a relative, and the maternal grandfather family she can recognize has nothing to do with the concubine's biological mother.
Xiao Taiji was moved when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Then in this way, the Qinghe Cui family will be relatives in the future?" That's terrible, if Miss Cui gives birth to a son, wouldn't the Qinghe Cui family go to the next level in the future? ! ”
Xiao Shiji glanced at Xiao Taiji and said in a low voice: "Brother Tai, don't say this kind of thing outside in the future." Your Majesty's family affairs, where can outsiders be allowed to put their beaks? ”
Xiao Tai grinned, his gaze swept over the inside covered by the large curtain of carved floors.
Xiao Shiji smiled when he saw this, stood up and said, "Mother and second brother talk more, I'll go back first." ”
Of course, Xiao Taiji didn't want to leave, so he went to Long Xiangye's side to talk.
Long Xiangye was tired and tired for a day, and said with a smile: "You can also go back and rest." I'm tired of you all today. ”
Long Xiangye opened his mouth to drive people away, and Xiao Taiji had to turn around and leave step by step.
Long Xiangye sat outside for a while before getting up and going back to the inside.
Long Shuzhi sat at the head of the bed with her knees crossed, her face was full of spring, she didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, and a smile was on the corner of her mouth.
Long Xiangye sent all the people he served before he sat down beside Long Shuzhi, and whispered hatefully: "You want to follow the boss, don't make a mistake." ”
