Li Gongfu said, opened the door, and saw a delicate woman dressed in green at the door, raising her hand to knock on the door.

Li Gongfu was stunned, then he stared at the woman for a long time, and scratched his head, "Hey, aren't you a young girl?" “

Xiaoqing was originally angry, but when she saw Li Gongfu like this, she was even more angry, and her hands were on her hips, "Hmph, aunt, you still know me, I have been knocking for a long time before you came to open the door"

"Isn't there something wrong with me? Hey, why are you the only ones coming back, your officials and my younger siblings? Li Gongfu said, looking behind Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing, who was standing at the door, saw that he was ignored by Li Gongfu, and stomped his feet hatefully, but he squeezed into the house from next to Li Gongfu angrily, "Hmph, just remember them, I Xiaoqing, you can't see me,"

Li Gongfu was hit by Xiaoqing, he turned his head to look at Xiaoqing, and rubbed his shoulders and walked out, "This green girl has eaten firecrackers, why is it so angry that it hurts my shoulder"

Xu Xuan saw Li Gongfu wearing a yamen official uniform at this time, rubbed his shoulders and came out, but he stepped forward in a few steps and bowed his hand to Li Gongfu, "Brother-in-law, I'm back"

Li Gongfu turned his head to look at Xiaoqing's back, and replied casually, "You're back......"

After speaking, he was stunned, turned around and saw Xu Xuan standing in front of him, and rubbed his eyes at the moment, "I'm not dazzled, right?" ”

After he really saw Xu Xuan and Bai Suzhen beside Xu Xuan clearly, he turned around with a smile and ran towards the house, "Wife, Xu Xuan is back"

Xu Xuan and Bai Suzhen glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing, "It seems that no one cares about us anymore, lady, let's go home." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and told Bai Fudao, "Bai Fu, you will move the New Year's goods we brought back first, and I will visit a few elders in the afternoon." ”

Bai Fu and a few people responded, Xu Xuan helped Bai Suzhen, entered the house, looked at everything familiar, Xu Xuan's eyes were a little red, after a year, he Xu Xuan came back.

"Second brother, you're finally back!" Xu Jiaorong walked out of the house quickly, hugged Xu Xuan, and sobbed in a low voice.

At this time, Xu Xuan was already in his twenties, Xu Jiaorong was also twenty-six or seventeen years old, Xu Xuan was hugged by his sister, quite embarrassed, Bai Suzhen on the side saw Xu Xuan's helpless appearance, and also pursed his lips and laughed, Li Gongfu saw Xu Jiaorong like this, but said, "Oh, what are you doing holding your second brother like this?" There are so many people watching from behind, and they are not afraid of being embarrassed,"

Xu Jiaorong, who was said to be red-faced by Li Gongfu, only then did she find the five ghosts at the door, and saw the pedestrians outside the door looking inside, so she wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Yes, it's my sister who is out of shape, second brother, brother and sister, let's go and sit in the house." ”

As she spoke, she took Xu Xuan with one hand and Bai Suzhen with the other, and walked towards the house.

Li Gongfu laughed and followed in, patting Xu Xuan, "Second brother, I'll go to the yamen to ask for a leave first, buy some wine, and cook a few dishes in a while, you have to drink with me today."

Xu Jiaorong heard Li Gongfu say to drink, her brows furrowed, but after glancing at Xu Xuan next to her, she didn't want to brush her husband's mind at this time, Xu Xuan came back today, even Xu Jiaorong also wanted to drink a few glasses to celebrate.

Li Gongfu tidied up his clothes, took the waist knife and was about to go out again, Xu Jiaorong hurriedly shouted again, "Gongfu, remember to let the three places come back early."

Li Gongfu waved his hand, "Okay, I know,"

Li Gongfu walked out of the door, but he shook his head and sighed, how could he not know the thoughts of his mother-in-law? Although Xu Jiaorong is much closer to Xu Xuan now, and she is not wary of Xu Xuanhui competing for Xu Xian's property, she is still close to Xu Xian in her heart. Now that Xu Xuan is back, his own lady wants to reconcile Xu Xuan and Xu Xian, but when Xu Xian was sent back by the second son, he asked someone to inquire clearly, it is said that the third brother intended to have bad intentions towards his younger brother and sister at that time, don't talk about the second brother, can that person be so generous? My own mother-in-law still thinks things too simple. But this kind of thing, he can only do his best as a brother-in-law, if the two sides really can't reconcile, he can only give up.

Xu Xuan asked Bai Fu and others to bring in the New Year's goods brought back from Suzhou, these are the characteristics of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xuan's selection of Suzhou, which may not be valuable, but there is no place in Qiantang. This Xu Jiaorong admired while looking at it, except for a few items she didn't know, she roughly calculated the rest, this pile of things is afraid that there are no more than a dozen taels of silver, you know, now their family's annual expenses are only seven or eight taels of silver. But my second brother gave these things to his own family, and he didn't see a little pain, if the second brother was not swollen and fat, then the second brother was in Suzhou, I'm afraid he was doing well, so it was better to be a doctor than to study.

Thinking about her third brother, who is now studying in the academy, he is still high or low, Xu Jiaorong naturally doesn't understand the problem of reading, but she can ask people who understand, listen to others, according to Xu Xian's current results, I am afraid that Xiucai will be ...... Alas, thinking of this, Xu Jiaorong's heart sank a little.

Why is the third brother inferior to the second brother everywhere? On the teacher, the second brother's teacher is the Hanlin Academy, if you study medicine, people have followed Wang Fengshan for a few years, and they have already been out of school, and now they are also living in Suzhou, and their third brother is still studying hard, and he has no future......

Xu Xuan naturally didn't know what his sister was thinking, and he was still introducing the use of these things to his sister. At this time, I only heard that the door was opened, Xu Xuan looked out, Li Gongfu was holding two wine jars, and Xu Xian next to him was holding a few plates, and walked in from outside this door, Li Gongfu laughed as soon as he entered the door, "Haha, second brother, I met that Zheng butcher on this street, he left me three catties of beef, and you will let your sister cook for you to taste, this old man's beef and mutton, but it is served well." ”

Li Gongfu said and put the wine jar on the table, and handed the piece of meat in his other hand to Xu Jiaorong, "Wife, go and make this quickly, remember to make more, the second and third brothers have a lot of food."

Xu Jiaorong glanced at Xu Xian, who came in with a silent face, took the meat and hesitated for a moment and said, "Third brother, you come to the kitchen and help with me."

After speaking, she put the dishes in Xu Xian's hand on the plate, and then pulled Xu Xian towards the kitchen. When he left, he quietly gave Li Gongfu a look.

Seeing this, Li Gongfu had no choice but to nod with a wry smile, this matter, to be honest, his old Li really didn't want to care about it.

Li Gongfu coughed, pondered for a while, and then said, "That second brother, you and Xu Xian are also brothers, and when you were at home, the two of you were also considered to have shared weal and sorrow." There was some unpleasantness in the past, can't you forget it? ”
