Liu Ji didn't know which style to smoke, which made Lao Zhu very unhappy, and Lao Zhu was unhappy and didn't even give Ma Du the New Year's money. Ma Du lost a lot of New Year's money, and one by one the good nephews said "I wish my uncle a good New Year", and Ma Du had to take out a little goldfish.

It's okay for a child like Zhu Biao, you Zhu Wenying looks like a calf, how can you be embarrassed to stand with a child and ask me for New Year's money.

It wasn't enough to give him one, and he continued to stretch out his hand, saying that there was a small one at home, and that shameless energy was quite a father's true character.

Several cheap nephews, in order to wait for their poor uncle, have not yet gone out to pay New Year's greetings. After Ma Du finished paying New Year's greetings to Lao Zhu and Ma Dajiao, his uncles and nephews got into a carriage and escorted them out together, first going to Song Lian's house.

Heaven and Earth Jun is a teacher, occupying the name of Mr., and the little brothers must go. But Ma Du didn't follow Lao Song to class for a few days, and he had to send him a New Year gift for nothing, which was a few pieces of soap that Ma Du had prepared a long time ago.

Song Lian also just came back from the court meeting, changed into civilian clothes, and accepted the New Year's greetings of several people in the main hall with his wife Jia Shi, and the last person gave a silver bill.

Mrs. Song was very satisfied with Ma Du's New Year gift, and said that she liked sandalwood-scented soap, but the price was too expensive, and she was usually reluctant to use a piece.

drank a bowl of tea at Lao Song's house, chatted a few words, and then left, and then went to Li Zhen's house, that is, Li Wenzhong's house. Li Wenzhong is still called Zhu Wenzhong, and he is stationed in eastern Zhejiang, and he has not returned at all for the Chinese New Year.

Li Zhen is Lao Zhu's brother-in-law, but looking at his age, it is enough for Lao Zhu to be his father, and he looks older than Lao Loach, I am afraid that he will be sixty years old.

He was dressed very simply, like an old peasant, and although he wore a silk robe, it was so faded that it looked like he had been wearing it for a long time. But the old man was very energetic, his white hair was neatly combed, his waist was straight, and he was smiling all the time.

Zhu Xiaobiao led his brothers to pay New Year's greetings to his old uncle, Li Zhen helped them up one by one, and one of them gave them a gold ingot, which was much more generous than Ma Du, and also asked people to bring candied dried fruits to the children to eat.

It is true that Lao Zhu and Li Zhen are close, and it can be seen from the performance of several boys that Zhu Xiaobiao is sitting on the chair with the back of the chair, and his feet are swaying slightly, looking very relaxed, even in the palace, he has never seen him like this.

Zhu Xiaoer lives in the third child and eats candied snacks on the table, children always like sweets, but because Zhu Xiaoer, who used to be fond of sweets, has tooth decay and has a terrible pain, Ma Dajia has been restricting sweets since then, and he will not be polite when he finally catches the opportunity.

Zhu Xiaosi is a pure carnivore, not good for sweets, so he rushed to the back house, and it seems that he often comes to the house.

There is Zhu Xiaosi's good playmate in the back house, the future "Ming God of War" Li Jinglong, this pair of cousins and nephews will play a big game in the Battle of Jingjing a long time later.

Zhu Wenying introduced: "Uncle, this is my uncle, my mother's maiden brother. ”

Ma Du stepped forward and waved his hand, "Ma Du wishes Li ...... Brother Li, good luck in the new year, health and longevity! "That's right, it's called big brother, and if such an old man is called big brother, Ma Du is really a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Zhen didn't feel a little uncomfortable, and took Ma Du's hand with a smile, "I know, I already knew, I heard that you punched the kid of the Chang family and stunned, I don't know if it's okay." ”

"Thank you Brother Li for your concern, the younger brother has already recovered, can the eldest brother be well?"

"Yes, very! You kid didn't come to me, and I thought you didn't want to be near me, a bad old man. Come, come and sit here! The old man actually put his arm on Ma Du's shoulders and pulled him to the top, like two brothers.

"Are the young and old outside the city okay?"

"Okay, the second grandfather has suffered for most of his life, and now he can finally think of two days of Qingfu, and he is happy in his heart."

Li Zhen nodded, "People saved your life, and they lived together for a year, even if it is a family, it is not too much for you to repay ...... like this" The old man babbled a lot, and it seemed that Ma Du was very clear.

It turned out that when Ma Du was in Taiping Mansion, Li Zhen went to the palace to see Ma Du, and it was estimated that it came out of Ma Dajia's mouth.

"It's a pity that Bao'er is not at home, otherwise your uncle and nephew can have a lively drink of two cups, and I don't know how he is doing this year, I haven't seen him for almost two or three years......"

Zhu Biao said: "If my uncle misses Brother Wen Zhong, I can talk to my father when I go back, can I transfer him back to Yingtian, so that I can accompany my uncle to fulfill my filial piety." ”

Li Zhen shook her head, "The boy is ambitious in all directions, come back to accompany me, that kid will make me angry when he comes back, but Xiaobiao, you have to come to see your uncle often." ”

Zhu Wenying was lying on the chair on all fours, not looking like a person, "Xiaobiao, don't say that you will transfer Brother Bao'er back, otherwise you will be scolded by your father again, Brother Bao'er is now the pillar of Optimus in eastern Zhejiang." Last year, no, it was the year before last that Li Bosheng under Zhang Shicheng brought more than 100,000 people to attack eastern Zhejiang, and returned from Brother Bao'er. Zhedong can't do without Brother Bao'er! ”

Zhu Biao opened his mouth, "More than 100,000 people, Brother Bao'er is so powerful!" ”

Li Zhen smiled, "Even if this kid still has some ability, he didn't embarrass the prince." He pointed at Zhu Xiaoer and Zhu Xiaosan again, "Hey, those two boys don't eat anymore, they won't have the stomach to serve food later!" ”

When I arrived at Li Zhen's house, I naturally had to eat, and during the meal, Ma Du also saw Li Jinglong, who was a little Zhengtai who was even more beautiful than the third child. Although he is also quite naughty, he still understands the rules, and he greets his uncle in a milky voice, and by the way, he gets a little goldfish.

When children are good, they can't wait to share everything with each other, but when their temper comes up, a candy can make them turn against each other, and while they are still eating, Zhu Xiaosi and Li Jinglong don't know why they fight.

History has proved that Li Jinglong is not Zhu Xiaosi's opponent, he is obviously two fingers taller than Zhu Xiaosi, but he was pushed by Zhu Xiaosi all of a sudden, and Li Jinglong immediately cried.

It's a pity that Li Zhen carefully prepared a table of meals, and Ma Du didn't eat a few bites before he was stirred up by Zhu Xiaosi.

came out of Li Zhen's house, Zhu Biao returned to the palace a few times, and Ma Du continued to visit Zhu Wenying to pay New Year's greetings, but Zhu Xiaosi followed them with a dead face.

Ma Du smiled: "What are you going to do with the two of us when you don't go home!" ”

Zhu Xiaosi hung his head and said dejectedly: "I got into trouble, and I will be punished by my mother when I go back." ”

"Don't worry, Xiao Biao'er won't sue!"

Zhu Xiaosi pouted, "The eldest brother won't, the second brother will!" ”

"Then come with us." Ma Du muttered in his heart, "Go to your father-in-law's house!" ”
