Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gathering

Looking forward to the return of relatives here, looking forward to arriving home there, needless to say, the joy of reunion after a long absence, but the action is not as enthusiastic as that of later generations.

Xiao Zhao's hug with his second brother is even the most warm and intimate move.

Xu Qili is a gentleman, and when he sees his little brother returning, he is happy, but he is only talking coldly, and he always has a smile on his face.

Steward Xu and other subordinates naturally did not dare to be presumptuous, and the concept of superiority and inferiority would not be eliminated because of Xu Qilin's ease and affinity.

The Tang Dynasty, although it was more open than other dynasties, was also polite and had few unrestrained actions.

But the arrival of Scarlett and the others immediately raised the cheerful atmosphere to a new level. A few girls chattered, talking and laughing, hugging and hugging.

Xu Qili also knew that although Scarlett and Adjani were maids, they were not ordinary people who were spoiled by Xu Qilin in the mansion.

Anyway, the girls are not very old, he just shook his head slightly, and when he and Fang Er saw the cold and noisy, they entered the house together.

The noise behind him was louder, Xiao Zhao saw Ah Ke, and immediately ran to him as if he had seen a novel creature, staring at him with wide eyes, and shouting: "Ah Ke, can you see me, do you know who I am?" ”

Ah Ke also widened his eyes, leaned down slightly, and looked at Xiao Zhao to let her see clearly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, it turns out that he looks so good!" ”

Xiao Zhao grinned, very interested in Ah Ke's bright eyes, took Ah Ke's hand, and said, "This is really good." After Mrs. Zheng got the letter, she was so happy that she cried, and she was looking forward to your return! ”

Ah Ke nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'll go to see her tomorrow, and you can go with you?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Zhao nodded again and again, and was able to ask for leave and not go to class again.

A few girls laughed and went into the house, washed up a little, and went to eat.

Xu Qilin, Xu Qili, Fang Er and Chen Laocai sat at a table in the hall, put the wine and food on the table, and began to eat and drink.

"Your sister-in-law and Xiao Ye'er have rested first." Xu Qili explained first, lest Xu Qilin provoke the gift, "Children, you can't do without your mother when you sleep." ”

Xu Qilin didn't care, and said with a smile: "Naturally, children are the mainstay, this is the treasure of our Xu family." Besides, they are all their own families, and they don't talk so much about etiquette. ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass to each other, "Congratulations to the eldest brother, the joy of a daughter." ”

Xu Qili smiled, raised his glass and said, "Drink to win!" ”

"And me." Fang Er didn't say anything at all, raised his glass and said, "Drink to win!" ”

The three of them laughed, saluted Chen Laocai again, and drank it all.

While eating and chatting, the two brothers asked about their appointments and their plans to transfer back to Beijing.

"With the talent of the eldest brother, the people of Xitaishe are stable and can work for many years." Xu Qilin believed the elder brother and said: "The younger brother is afraid that he will have to be released, but it just so happens that the eldest brother is in Beijing, so he can take care of the family more." ”

Xu Qili put down the wine glass and asked, "What's the matter, the matter of the release has been decided?" ”

Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "Even if I don't go far away to be an official, I will stay for a while in Xin'an." Some technical problems can only be solved by experiments or face-to-face guidance. ”

"Xin'an?" Xu Qili didn't know much about the situation of that base, but he also knew that it was owned by the big Ying Ku, "Then Qi Lin still has to hold the position of the big Ying Ku Cheng?" ”

Xu Qilin bowed his head and said: "I still have to work for a while, and when there is a suitable person to take over, His Majesty will allow the younger brother to step down." ”

Xu Qili opened his mouth, but still did not say anything against it. Since it is His Majesty's intention, the little brother will definitely not be able to get out.

Chen Laocai said on the side: "Daying Ku Kucheng has done a good job, Your Majesty can see it most directly." Xiaolang's political achievements in Ganzhou also show that he has the talent to govern the local area, and it is not difficult to go out of the town. ”

Fang Er chewed the meat in his mouth and said vaguely: "Qi Lin is still young, no matter how old he is, it is not too much to be an official of the Sixth Department." ”

Xu Qilin said with a smile: "I would like to go somewhere." Besides, even if he is a few years older, the officials of the six departments are not something to be expected. ”

Xu Qili quipped: "Why is Qi Lin so arrogant? According to my brother, you are also full of books as a household. ”

Chen Laocai stroked his beard and smiled: "It's the current Hubu Shangshu, I'm afraid it's not as long-sleeved as Xiaolang who is good at dancing." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's different, it's different." The household department should consider the whole world, how can it be so casual. Come, drink, drink. ”

Fang Er took a drink and said, "Although the officials of the Sixth Department are good, they still don't have the freedom to manage the place. Qi Lin was subject to so many constraints, which was normal. ”

Xu Qilin smiled and bowed his head, this is also a reason that is not a reason!

Eating, drinking, talking, and soon it was late at night. They were all full of wine and food, so they took down the wine and food, drank a cup of tea, chatted for a while, and went to rest.

The party is scattered here, but a few girls over there are still laughing, and the topics are more and wider than a few men.

Xu Qilin didn't urge, he went to the back house, and after a simple bath, he went to bed to rest.

……………

The next morning, Xu Qilin didn't sleep lazy, got up and went to the back garden to do some exercise, which was already a habit that couldn't be moved.

When they came to the hall, Xu Qili and Chen Mengwei were already sitting waiting for him, and Xiao Ye'er was hugged by her mother, babbling words that no one could understand.

"I've seen my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Xu Qilin bowed his hand, turned his gaze to Xiao Ye'er, clapped his hands lightly to attract the attention of the little guy, and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Ye'er, call uncle." ”

Xiao Ye'er looked at this stranger, but she was not afraid, but she didn't answer him.

"I don't know when she learns to call her uncle!" Chen Mengwei said with a little regret: "I heard that Xu Chongrong can speak in five or six months, but this is a stupid child." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "There is not much difference between saying it early and saying it late. Looking at Xiao Ye'er's flexible eyes, he knew that he was smart and clever. ”

As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to get the gift prepared for Xiao Ye'er. Ordinary toys can be bought in Chang'an City, and Xu Qilin will not bring them from Ganzhou in the long run. It's just gold and silver ornaments such as bracelets and longevity locks, which are auspicious.

But there is one artifact, but it is a novelty. Wooden, with a cloth pocket, and a few small wheels underneath. The front panel is also inlaid with movable critters and a waving bell.

"This thingβ€”" Xu Qili and Chen Mengwei glanced at each other, both of them looking confused.

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "It's a walker designed by a certain design, and I don't know if Xiao Ye'er can use it?" As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Ye'er and said, "Look at the size, it seems to be okay." Come on, let Xiao Ye'er try it. ”

Chen Mengwei was still a little hesitant, but it was not easy to refuse, so she stood up and put Xiao Ye'er into the car according to Xu Qilin's instructions.

The cloth bag just wrapped around Xiao Ye'er's two calves, Xu Qilin adjusted the tightness so that the legs could touch the ground, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law let go of herself, this car can't be reversed." ”

Oh, Chen Mengwei carefully let go of her hand, Xiao Ye'er sat in the car, her little hand holding the panel, looking around, feeling very curious.

When her attention was focused on the creature and the rattle in front of her, she couldn't help but giggle, reached for it, and her feet couldn't help but strain, and the car walked forward.

Giggled, Xiao Ye'er felt more and more novel, and her calves stepped on the ground one by one, pushing the cart forward continuously.

Chen Mengwei was not at ease at first, but the car was stable. Xiao Ye can not only sit in the cloth pocket inside, but also step on the ground with his feet, and can't help laughing.

"Come on, Xiao Ye'er." Chen Mengwei squatted in front of Xiao Ye'er and stretched out her hand to beckon, "Come on, your legs are strong, come to find your mother." ”

Xiao Ye'er smiled crisply, and in the jingling bell, her small mouth swelled forward, and a trace of crystal saliva flowed out of the corners of her mouth.

I had a good time here, Xiao Zhao and the others also rushed over when they heard the sound, and they all felt fresh and curious when they saw Xiao Ye'er moving in this small car.

"Xiao Ye'er, come to my sister-in-law." Xiao Zhao clapped his hands, laughing and teasing.

Chen Mengzhi also smiled heartily, grimacing, "Xiao Ye'er, come to my aunt, hurry up!" ”

Xiao Ye'er looked left and right, as if she was a little tired, and she didn't move anymore when she sat in her cloth pocket, so she just reached out to fiddle with the little thing in front of her.

"Qi Lin is really exquisite." Chen Mengwei praised with a smile: "Put the child in this, you don't have to worry about falling and touching, she also has a good time." ”

Xu Qili nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay on flat ground, if it's uneven, I'm afraid it will fall." ”

Xu Qilin said: "The eldest brother is very right. With this plaything, you have to pay attention to the child. If Xiao Ye'er grows up, this car is the most suitable. ”

"It's already good." Chen Mengwei was not as roundabout as Xu Qili, and praised again on the side, "You see how happy Xiao Ye'er is." There are also two round holes in the front panel, which are for the bowl, right? ”

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "I think so, whether it's useful or not, I don't know." ”

Chen Mengwei said: "That must be useful, not to mention eating, even if you drink, it's also very convenient!" ”

Xiao Zhao is also very rare for this novel toy, but she is already old, looking at the car, she can't get in at all!

"Eat, eat." Xu Qilin greeted everyone and said, "There are still a lot of things to do today!" ”

Fang Er nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, I will go to the city and go home after eating." ”

Xu Qilin glanced at this guy and knew that he was calculating the time when his father would go to court, so he had to quickly run to find the old lady and pretend to be pitiful to find shelter.

And he has something to do, and he will send someone to inform the officials of the Great Ying Treasury that he will have a meeting today to listen to the report. After getting the results of the report, he had to enter the palace to see His Majesty Li Er.

While eating, Xu Qilin couldn't help but ask his brother, "Sister got the news, I'm afraid I'm anxious to see Xiao Ye'er, when will you enter the palace?" ”

Xu Qili smiled bitterly and said, "The inner courtyard of the palace, I'm afraid I have to wait for her to make a will!" ”

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily. The eldest brother is not very convenient, it is better to let Xiao Zhao take his sister-in-law and Xiao Ye'er into the palace first. They are all women, and there are not so many rules. ”

Xu Qili thought for a while and said, "It's okay." Then he went back to the house in the city, cleaned up, and waited for their mother and daughter. ”

Xu Qilin turned his head to greet Xiao Zhao and said, "Today, you take your sister-in-law and Xiao Ye'er into the palace to see Sister, and by the way, you will also send the things I brought back." ”

Xiao Zhao rolled his eyes, feeling that he had brought someone into the palace and brought gifts to Sister A and the two little princesses, so he definitely didn't need to study, and it would be okay to go there, so he nodded and agreed.

After breakfast, everyone had something to do, so they went about their own business. Even Scarlett and Adjani have to go with Ake to visit Mrs. Zheng.

Xu Qilin sent away Fang Er, and then took the people to Dayingku.

In the past few years, Xu Qilin has been commanding remotely, but fortunately, the operation of Dayingku has been on the right track, and there are not too many things to make big changes.

……………

Yesterday, I got the news that Xiao Zhao sent someone to bring in that Xu Qili and his wife and daughter had returned to Chang'an. Xu Hui was happy in his heart, just as Xu Qilin thought, anxious to see his relatives, and even more wanted to see the next generation of the Xu family.

But His Majesty Li Er did not go to Bingxia Palace to rest, which is not abnormal. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and it is already a great favor to let His Majesty Li Er live for two or three days in a month.

Although Xu Hui has more than that, it cannot be said that he is the sole favorite of the harem.

For this matter, he went directly to His Majesty Li Er to ask for advice, Xu Hui's temperament and temperament couldn't do such a thing. Therefore, she could only wait patiently to see His Majesty Li Er.

But the surprise came so quickly, and Xiao Zhaohuan's screaming voice woke up Xu Hui, who was reading a book in the hall. Before she could get up and leave the hall, Xiao Zhao had already run in.

"Sister, guess who I brought here?" Xiao Zhao ran over and took Sister A's hand, looked up and said with a smile.

Xu Hui blinked her eyes, and she was smart enough to guess one immediately, but she wasn't sure yet, so she asked anxiously, "But Mengwei and Xiao Ye'er?" ”

Hehehehe, Xiao Zhao smiled and nodded, "Sister is so smart, she can guess it." ”

Xu Hui nodded her little sister's forehead with a smile and urged, "Don't invite them in yet." So saying, he turned and walked towards the temple gate.

Chen Mengwei knows the etiquette, although she is a relative, although she is a female dependent, she rushes in without being summoned, and it is always unruly.

But Xiao Zhao entered the palace with a few cages, which were carried by the palace people. Sun Buer was carrying Xiao Ye'er's favorite walker and waiting outside the hall with Chen Mengwei, who was holding Xiao Ye'er.

Xu Hui stepped out of the hall, and saw Chen Mengwei holding Xiao Ye'er at a glance, and before she could speak, Chen Mengwei had already bowed down and saluted, and said: "The slave family meets the mother of the house." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me." Xu Hui said in a loud voice, stepped forward to help Chen Mengwei, but her eyes were fixed on the little doll in Chen Mengwei's arms.

Xiao Ye'er is still a competitive girl, and when she comes to a strange place, she is not afraid of seeing people. It is estimated that I have seen too many people in the past two days, and all of them are close and kind.

Seeing the little doll's dark eyes looking at her, Xu Hui was open-minded, and laughed and teased: "Xiao Ye'er, Xiao Ye'er, call aunt." ”

Chen Mengwei also teased her daughter playfully, and Xiao Ye'er giggled.

Xu Hui became more and more happy, and hurriedly said, "This is flattering." Quick, go in and talk, don't let the little leaves dry. ”
