Suddenly, Qiao was dizzy, and he was in a hurry to accompany Qiao to rest, and he didn't care about his daughter's side.

As a result, when I got closer, I realized that the expressions of the eldest girl and the second girl were not quite right, and even the little girl, Song Guizhi, was full of anger.

"What's wrong?" Hu Lezong said in amazement, thinking about something, frowning at the corners of his eyebrows, and glanced at the maids on the side majestically, "But the servants in the house are neglecting you?"

Those girls knelt down in fright, saying that they didn't dare.

Hu Lezong turned to look at the two daughters again, and when he got closer, he realized that the side of the eldest daughter's white and delicate head was swollen, and he was immediately stunned, "Sister Chun, what's wrong with your head?"

Sister Hu Chun smiled, and before she could speak, she interrupted Qiao Yuyin.

She stomped her feet and said in a coquettish voice, "Father, you don't have to ask her! She definitely wants the wicked to sue first! I just want to take a little stone to say hello to them, the right head is not good, the little stone grain doesn't fly on her head carelessly, they have always been so fierce and fierce with a straight face!"

A coquettish look.

Song Guizhi was really dumbfounded, she herself was the wicked person who sued first, okay!

Sister Hu Xia is so good-natured, but she is also a little angry.

Sister Hu Chun lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Listening to the words of the little girl, Hu Lezong looked at Sister Hu Chun in a panic, the girl's eyes were lowered, and the contours of her face were a little like that of a dead wife, which made Hu Lezong in a trance. When he calmed down, he panicked: "Sister Chun, show my father where the injury is!"

Sister Hu Chun smiled detachedly: "No need. Nothing. ”

Sister Hu Xia also did not speak.

Seeing that her father actually paid attention to the two so-called eldest sisters, Qiao Yuyin said dissatisfiedly: "Father!"

Hu Lezong sighed, looked at Qiao Yuyin, and tried his best to make a straight face: "Yinyin, don't you make a compensatory with the eldest sister!"

Qiao Yuyin looked at Hu Lezong in disbelief: "Why should I compensate them!"

Hu Lezong looked at the unreasonable little girl with a headache, he knew that he and his wife had always been a little arrogant about this first child, but he had always felt that the girl was still young, so there was no need to be so strict.

As a result, she has become the temperament that does not follow her temper now, and she is noisy.

"That's your eldest sister. Hu Lezong tried to convince the delicate little girl.

Qiao Yuyin's eyes were red, and tears filled with tears: "My mother gave birth to me, where did I come from, eldest sister! Okay! Since it is my eldest sister, isn't it wrong to tolerate me as a little sister? Then why do I have to pay for it!"

"Yin Yin ......" Seeing Qiao Yuyin crying endlessly, Hu Lezong had a headache.

"No need. Sister Hu Chun said loudly, in fact, she did not have high requirements for Hu Lezong's cheap father, and she was very content if he didn't follow Qiao Yuyin without asking questions.

In the end, I haven't gotten along for so many years, just by virtue of those few days, how deep the flesh and blood relationship can be, it is natural that it is not as good as Qiao Yuyin's little girl.

Sister Hu Chun said this, Hu Lezong felt even more guilty, and he looked at Qiao Yuyin more and more sternly: "Yinyin, today is the first day that your eldest brothers and sisters return to the house, and you hit your eldest sister's head with a stone, even if you hit it unintentionally, then you should say sorry to your eldest sister." ”

Qiao Yuyin was stunned for a moment when she saw Hu Lezong actually talking to her so harshly. Waiting for her to react, tears rolled down her eyes in an instant, she covered her face, shouted "I hate my father", and ran away.

"Yin Yin!" Hu Lezong was anxious to chase after him, and looked at Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia with some concerns, Sister Hu Chun pursed her lips: "Father, go and see Yin Yin." She is young, and there is no aunt to follow her, so don't fall again. ”

This call seemed to give Hu Lezong a good reason to chase the little girl, and he hurriedly left the sentence "I'll come back in a moment" and went to chase Qiao Yuyin.

Sister Hu Xia was a little sad: "Eldest sister ......"

Sister Hu Chun saw a lot of open, she knew why the little sister was sad, she touched the little sister's head with relief, and no longer bothered with some bruised brains, and went to a few Yahuan with fruit saucers to take a slice of cut melon, and walked to the house: "Some sleepy, Sister Xia sleeps with me for a while, and I guess there is still a lot of trouble at night." ”

Sister Hu Xia followed the eldest sister into the house.

After a while, Hu Bincheng was probably crazy tired outside, and ran into the house with sweat, and saw that the two eldest sisters were all resting on the beauty couch, he smiled, and made Song Guizhi tell him the place to wash, since he went to wash, he also took off his shoes, and fell asleep on the pillow on the beauty couch.

In the evening, Hu Chun's sisters and brothers all changed their homely clothes and went to the flower hall.

Qiao Shi leaned on the Luohan Kang, leaned on a big pillow on his back, and saw the handsome and extraordinary children of the Hu family enter the house, his heart tightened out of instinct, and he glanced at the girl who was sitting on the other side of the Luohan Kang with his head down, and his heart was uncomfortable.

Qiao Shi reluctantly wanted to get up, stopped Hu Lezong, and said softly: "Mrs. doesn't have to see outside like this, it's all a family, you take care of your body." ”

"Where is so fragile, I should have picked up the wind for a few children at first, but I have been lazy after resting for the afternoon. Qiao Shi smiled, but still insisted on getting up, and greeted Sister Hu Chun and them in person, the smile on his face was affectionate and full of care, "...... How about resting?"

Hu Lezong saw that his wife was so virtuous, and he was also abnormal, and sighed that he could marry such a virtuous wife.

Sister Hu Chun smiled: "Thank you Aunt Qiao for your care, it's very good to rest." ”

Qiao Shi seemed to think of something, and beckoned to Qiao Yuyin, Qiao Yuyin originally wanted to play tricks, but when she saw a wisp of awe flashing between her mother's eyebrows, she trembled, and still came over unwillingly.

Qiao Shi apologized: "Yin Yin, she is pampered and wanton...... When I heard that she had hurt you, I had already criticized her fiercely. She suppressed her voice, "Yinyin!"

Qiao Yuyin pouted, the soft-soled satin shoes decorated with pearls the size of rice grains on the toe kept smacking the ground, she grinded and chirped for a long time, and she could be regarded as squeezing out: "I'm sorry." ”

Hu Lezong was full of relief that "the little girl is sensible after all".

In the afternoon, Hu Bincheng had already heard Song Guizhi's complaint, and he was also angry at that time. Now that he heard Qiao Yuyin apologize, he felt that he wanted to take out the majesty of being a big brother, and said quickly: "You just know that you are wrong." Fortunately, that little stone is not very sharp, once my eldest sister is broken, it will be useless to pay for it at that time. ”

Qiao's smiling face almost collapsed in an instant.

Thanks to her adjusting very quickly, her face was slightly stiff and said: "Yin Yin, your eldest brother is right, you must not say hello like that next time." ”

Qiao Yuyin pouted and didn't speak.

Qiao's gave Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia a complete set of heads, and gave Hu Bincheng a set of four treasures of the study. Hu Lezong couldn't help nodding when he saw it, the gift his wife chose was all worth a lot, which showed that he was very attentive.

As the eldest sister, Sister Hu Chun gave Qiao Yuyin a palm bracelet of red coral, such a red and bright color, which made Qiao Yuyin love it, but she couldn't pull her face to show that she liked it. Sister Hu Xia gave Qiao Yuyin a bag of embroidery, the stitches were fine and abnormal, and she was very attentive at a glance.

Qiao Yuyin expressed her gratitude vaguely and perfunctorily.

Hu Bincheng originally prepared a stone inkstone for Qiao Yuyin as a gift, but because Qiao Yuyin injured Sister Hu Chun at first, Hu Bincheng was a little angry, and the stone inkstone was his treasure, so he was a little reluctant to give it. But now, seeing that the two eldest sisters have all given away things, there are some disadvantages if he doesn't send them, whether he is the eldest brother, Hu Bincheng endured the pain and took out the stone inkstone and gave it to Qiao Yuyin.

Qiao Yuyin was not happy when she saw Shi Yan.

The little girl's family, all the bracelets and tips are loved, where is there anyone who loves Shi Yan? Immediately he was unwilling to say to Hu Bincheng: "I can't fight for fame, what are you giving me Shi Yan for?"

Hu Bincheng pursed his lips angrily.

"That's not what I said," Sister Hu Chun smiled on her face, but the smile didn't reach the depths of her pupils, she patted her little brother's head and said to Hu Luzong, "Father may not know something, our brother Bin is a very good student." That stone inkstone was the first one in the entire academy in his last assessment, and the special award of the master gave him, which was meaningful and abnormal, and Brother Bin has always attached great importance to it. This time, I took it out and gave it to Yan Xiaomei, which is also a cut of love. ”

When Hu Lezong heard that his son was doing so well in his studies, he was immediately overjoyed. He was born in hunting, a few years ago he lost his memory and married Miss Qiao's family, in order to better integrate into Qiao's house, he also invited his master to study for a few years. He has always admired scholars, and his son is so good at school, so he is naturally very happy.

Sister Hu Chun took the opportunity to say: "Father, Brother Bin is a seed of studying, and he loves to study abnormally, and I hope that my father will go through Brother Bin's admission procedures as soon as possible." ”

Hu Lezong responded one after another.

In fact, Sister Hu Chun also wanted to ask a female master to teach her and Sister Hu Xia with Hu Lezong, but she also knew that if she wanted to hurry, she would not be able to reach it, whether there was still a Qiao family in Qiao's mansion, and inviting a female master was not a trivial matter, so she had to figure it out slowly.

She put it aside.

The banquet for Sister Hu Chun and them was placed in the other small side rooms of the flower hall, and there were originally different tables for men and women, but because it was a family banquet and there were no outsiders, they simply sat at one table.

Because the Hu family didn't eat or sleep at first, Hu Bincheng chattered with Hu Lezong about his feelings today, his expression was unusually happy, and he said: "...... This courtyard is really big, it's still bigger than the backyard of the county family, father, I see that there is still a small lake? Father, will you row a boat? Let's go row a small boat to pick lotus flowers?"

Qiao Yuyin had never finished a meal like this, and she was a little stunned for a while, listening to what Hu Bincheng said, she pouted dissatisfiedly, turned her head and said to Qiao, "Mother, didn't you teach Yin Yin, and it was very rude to speak during dinner?"

Hu Bincheng's laughter froze.

Sister Hu Xia was chuckling, and her smile sank.

Sister Hu Chun put the wooden chopsticks on the chopstick rest and looked at Qiao Yuyin lightly.

"I'm really embarrassed, we didn't have a mother when we were young, we didn't have a father, and no one really taught us the rules of a big family. Sister Hu Chun said lightly, Hu Lezong's heart hurt so much that he glanced at Qiao Yuyin with a headache, and hurriedly said to Hu Bincheng, "It's okay, Brother Bin continued, my father likes to listen abnormally." ”

Hu Bincheng lowered his head, but stopped talking.

Hu Lezong glanced at Qiao Yuyin fiercely again.

Qiao Yuyin couldn't do it, she wanted to lose her temper, but she remembered that her mother pulled her aside alone in the afternoon to warn her, and she couldn't help it.

Qiao told her that if she continued to mess around like this, her father would not like her, only the new big brother and sister. Qiao Yuyin, who was frightened, said one after another that she would be obedient.

Qiao's was a little aggrieved for the little girl, but she couldn't say it like this, so she just diverted the topic, and asked Sister Hu Chun with a smile some questions about whether she had a habit and the convenience of living.

Qiao Shi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Since Sister Chun, you have arrived at our mansion, you can also be regarded as a young master in the mansion." According to the rules of the house, there is an aunt on the side of the young lady, one first-class girl, two second-class girls, several third-class girls, and several small girls. The young master's division is also similar. In a moment, I will first take the maid ring family in the house to make up for this example for you, and then turn my face and buy a few small maid rings to fill the gap in the house, so as not to entrust you again. ”

Hu Lezong saw that his wife was thinking about a few children, and his heart was abnormal, so he glanced at Qiao's with emotion, took a wooden chopsticks for Qiao's and put her favorite lion's mane mushroom in front of her: "You have worked hard." ”

The tenderness in Qiao's eyes almost dripped.

Sister Hu Chun smiled lightly, smiling like a flower: "Don't be so anxious. Aunt Qiao: We cook by ourselves, and we are used to it. On the contrary, there is no shortage in the house. It is expected that all of them have their own duties, and if they were transferred because of our sisters and brothers, what would have gone wrong in the work of the house...... If there is a ...... in case"

She swept her gaze to Qiao's body, and Qiao's immediately understood that Sister Hu Chun was talking about her belly, her face turned slightly pale, and a hand under the seat instinctively covered her belly.

Only then did Hu Lezong come to his senses, and thought about what if his wife really had a problem...... There was a panic in his heart, and he looked at Sister Hu Chun with some hesitation: "But you can't always be left unserved." ”

Sister Hu Chun said softly: "Father, don't worry, our sisters and brothers have all lived like this over the years, not to mention, there are still Gui Zhi and Grandma Song." Aunt Qiao's body is the most important, let's take care of it first, and when we turn our faces to buy Yahuan in the house, we will make up for it together. ”

Hu Lezong persuaded his eldest daughter, and he nodded: "I'll do what you say." He looked at Qiao Shi again, "Mrs. will arrange for someone to come over as soon as possible, and then buy some maid rings." ”

Hu Lezong has all spoken, and Qiao's is not good to talk about anything.

She originally wanted to stuff a few of her own people over so that she could keep an eye on these children at any time.

As a result, Sister Hu Chun was pushed in a few words!

It's really unusual!

Qiao's caution to Sister Hu Chun blocked some heart attacks, and it took a long time to return to normal.

After the meal, Qiao's body was fainted at first, so Hu Lezong thought about sending Qiao's back first.

Sister Hu Chun naturally didn't object to anything, she led her little brother and sister to stand under the corridor of the flower hall, watching Hu Lezong caress Qiao's family, Qiao Yuyin pulled the corners of his clothes tightly, and the servants took the maids and sisters farther and farther away.

A family of three that couldn't be closer.

Hu Bincheng is not as soft and delicate as the eldest sister, he has been playing crazy for a long time today, tired of playing, and young, yawning and urging the eldest sisters to go to his courtyard.

Although it was divided into courtyards, but because the courtyards were all closed, Hu Bincheng still felt that there was nothing to sleep in the first separate room, and when he arrived at his own courtyard, Grandma Song helped fetch water, and fell asleep very quickly after washing.

About just arrived in a strange place, Sister Hu Xia had some sticky Sister Hu Chun, the two sisters took off the hairpin ring, lay down on the kang after washing, and whispered for a while, and soon Sister Hu Xia also fell asleep.

Sister Hu Chun lay on the brocade stacked kang, looking at the layers of fine yarn covered by the top of the kang.

I met with Qiao's two times today, and when she looked back, she felt that Qiao's was not as virtuous and generous as she showed on her face. Qiao Shi quietly looked at her gaze, always as if with malice, making her uncomfortable.

But she also felt that although Hu Lezong's father, although his temper was a little softer, he couldn't say anything. It's just that the feelings for a few children are different, and it is inevitable that they will be fair and just. In the growth of Sister Xia Bin'er, he was an indispensable figure.

For Sister Xia and Brother Bin, she is willing to protect her little brother and sister and live a good life in Qiaofu.

In the first few days, Qiao's Mansion passed uneventfully, and Qiao's family quickly bought a lot of little girl rings, led by the aunt in charge, and went to Hu Lezong first.

Hu Lezong swept it roughly, and saw that these girls were all neat, and there was no shortage of outstanding postures, and the posture of the participants was also abnormal, which showed that they had been trained through a thorough training.

"My wife has always been very appropriate. Hu Lezong comfortingly stroked Qiao's and sat down, and thoughtfully helped her clean up the cushion behind her, "These girls are all good, so let's rely on Mrs.'s charter." ”

Qiao Shi smiled gently: "If I haven't considered it for a while, and there is a place that has been missed, Lang Jun should not blame it." After having a body, I always feel that my body is abnormal, and it is inevitable that there will be places that I can't take into account. ”

Hu Lezong's face showed two points of guilt, and he added two points to Qiao's heartache: "These are too much for Mrs. to worry about, and Mrs. is too hard." ”

The couple were talking intimate words, Qiao Yuyin Dengden ran in, and saw a little girl ring as tender as a shallot standing under the hall, and immediately shouted: "Father and mother are eccentric, Yin Yin also wants to add a ring, and she also wants to add a ring!"

As she spoke, she ran straight to the middle of a pair of rings, pulled the corner of her clothes with one palm, and announced domineeringly: "These two are good-looking, I want these two to come to my house!"

Hu Lezong looked at the little girl with a smile, and when Qiao saw that the little girl chose the two that she skillfully selected, his face couldn't help but change, and then he realized that he was out of shape, and he smiled to hide the mood on his face, and said angrily: "Yin Yin, don't be weird." You have so many people in your house, these are for your eldest brothers and sisters, you should understand the humility of the little sister. ”

Qiao Shi didn't mention that the eldest brother and sister were okay, but when Qiao Yuyin's reluctance came up, she twisted her body and said, "Shouldn't the eldest brother and sister put up with my little one? It's just two Yahuan, mother, you bought so much this time, dial it to the two of you. ”

Qiao's complexion changed slightly, and he could see the appearance of the flowers and moons that the two Yahuan's coarse clothes and simple makeup couldn't hide, and his heart was horizontal, and he put on a face: "These two Yahuan are literate, and my mother spent a lot of money, and Tete bought it, so I read it to Brother Bin." She saw Qiao Yuyin pouting and looking aggrieved, and hurriedly coaxed, "If you really want to add two maids, tomorrow my mother will call someone to come over, and I want you to pick the two more suitable ones in person, okay?"

As soon as Hu Lezong heard that this was a girl ring who could read and write, he remembered that the school entrance for his son in recent days was almost the same, and Yahuan, who really needed to read and write at home, helped pack up the bookcase, grind ink or something, and hurriedly said: "Yin Yin is obedient, didn't you say last time that you wanted to eat the flower stuffed dumplings in Lotus Hutong? Tomorrow your father will take you out to eat." ”

"Bad big brother. Qiao Yuyin muttered, she spoke softly and quickly, and Hu Lezong also felt that she was talking about Brother Bin, and smiled.

Qiao Yuyin saw that her mother agreed to choose the two better, and her father also agreed to take her to eat flower stuffed dumplings, and those little eyes disappeared, and happily came over and held Hu Lezong's arm: "Father, this is what you said, I still want to go to the pear orchard tomorrow to listen to the opera, take me there." ”

Hu Lezong touched the little girl's head dotingly, he thought that the children had been in the countryside for a long time, and they had been familiar with the environment in the past few days when they came to Qiaofu, and they had not taken them out for a walk, so he wanted to simply take their sisters and brothers out tomorrow, and he could also ask a few of their children to cultivate their feelings...... Hu Lezong agreed with Qiao Yuyin.

Qiao Yuyin happily circled around Hu Lezong.

Qiao Shi smiled on the side, watching their father and daughter making trouble, but deep down he breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.

Since Hu Lezong had nodded his head in agreement, Qiao's family was caressed by Mrs. Lu, and followed her delicately selected onion-like ring to Sister Hu Chun's small courtyard.

Sister Hu Chun's courtyard, no, not to mention Qiao's selection is practical, the courtyard is not big, the flowers and plants are scattered, the stone table and stone pestle are simple and lovely, and the end is a good scene.

When Qiao's came over, Sister Hu Chun took a brass pot in the courtyard to water the flowers, and Sister Hu Xia and Song Guizhi set up a chessboard on the stone table, one in black and the other in white, playing the backgammon that Sister Hu Chun taught them.

Seeing this peaceful and relaxed scene, Qiao Shi now has a feeling in his heart that he can't describe.

On the side, Mrs. Lu specially raised the volume: "Miss, young master, Mrs. is here to see you." ”

Sister Hu Chun glanced up, put down the brass pot in her palm, and said hello to Qiao's with Sister Hu Xia.

Qiao Shi had a kind smile on his face: "Why are you two sisters, Brother Bin?"

Sister Hu Chun replied: "Today's five big characters haven't been practiced yet, and he is practicing them in the house." Aunt Qiao looked for him, and I called him out. ”

"No need. Qiao Shi hurriedly said, these few in front of her face can be regarded as her stepson and stepdaughter, she doesn't want to disturb her stepson's reputation for studying.

Even if it is disturbing, she has to use a method that will not be criticized.

The smile on Qiao's face became more and more kind and kind, and he beckoned to the girls behind him, and said to Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia: "I chose some rings for you, you see, do you like it?"

I'm afraid that if she doesn't agree, within a day, their arrogant and arrogant reputation will spread throughout Qiao's Mansion.

Sister Hu Chun smiled dignifiedly, did not answer Qiao's question, and said unhurriedly: "Today is a big day, and Aunt Qiao is pregnant again, let's go to the house to finish talking." ”

As he spoke, he turned to the side and made a gesture of respectfully inviting Qiao's into the room.

Sister Hu Xia and Song Guizhi lowered their eyebrows and followed Sister Hu Chun together, and they all looked like they were respectfully invited into the house.

Qiao Shi had a feeling of hitting the cotton with a punch, she paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's also good." ”

When the group entered the house, Sister Hu Chun invited Qiao's to take a seat, and asked Song Guizhi to call Hu Bincheng.

The little boy was only eight years old, and he was wearing an indigo shirt, which was a somewhat old-fashioned color, but it gave the child's little face carved pink and jade an unusual brilliance.

When he saw Qiao's, he politely gave Qiao's a junior salute, and then obediently sat down at the head of the two eldest sisters.

Qiao's face was smiling, and his heart was a little uncomfortable, this child was more like Hu Lezong than the two eldest sisters, and his facial contours were even more similar to Hu Lezong, but Meiyu was much more delicate than Hu Lezong, and it was expected to come from his mother-in-law Meng.

As soon as he thought that this was the child of Hu Lezong and the other women, Qiao's heart was as uncomfortable as eating a mosquito.

However, she couldn't show it, she chuckled with her kind elders, and said to Hu Chun's sisters and brothers: "Since everyone is here, let's divide the Yahuan into a point." ”
