Chapter 46: Gathering the Qin Mansion
"Father, in fact, the son wants to take this opportunity to go out and practice more, the son of the minister is bored in the Wude Hall all day long to study, what is the use of having an empty stomach in this way, the eldest brother said that it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, and the son of the minister can not travel thousands of miles, but it is still possible to help the deceased Zhuangzi, accumulate some experience, and can also help his father and eldest brother in the future." Li Tai said sincerely.
His Majesty Li Er showed a satisfied look, Li Tai's words were reasonable, the brotherly harmony between Li Tai and Li Chengqian was what Li Er Majesty was happy to see, because the swelling between him and Prince Jiancheng, coupled with the words Li Yuan said on the day of the forced palace, was a thorn in his heart, he couldn't forget it, he couldn't get rid of it, Li Tai's words made him feel warm in his heart, and he was faintly proud, Li Shimin's son, he should be like this!
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "I have approved your decree to leave the palace at any time, but Qingque, you go to help Jing'er make paper and dig rivers, remember to ask him for wages." Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er smiled with a smile on his face: "You are a dignified King of Wei, go and supervise the work for him, don't be cheap for that little guy." ”
Seeing that his father was so interested, Li Tai couldn't refute it, so he could only say yes.
Xuan Shijing had already arrived at the Qin Mansion, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Qin Ying greeted him.
Gao Jun jumped down from the frame and bowed to Qin Ying: "Little Master Qin." ”
Qin Ying nodded at Gao Jun.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and first Long'er was lowered from the carriage, and then Xuan Shijing.
"Brother Shijing." Seeing Xuan Shijing get down from the carriage, Qin Ying hurriedly stepped forward.
"Brother Huaiyu, have a good New Year." Xuan Shijing smiled and bowed.
"Long'er has seen Little Grandpa Qin." Long'er also bowed.
"It's a good New Year, Sister Long'er doesn't need to be polite." Qin Ying stepped forward and grabbed Xuan Shijing's shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's not be polite, let's go, my father has already sent invitations to each family after receiving the word from your house, and now my father and mother are waiting for you." ”
"Then hurry in, don't let your uncle and aunt wait, by the way, I have brought everything, and you know about the banquet at your house?"
"I know, I told the kitchen to prepare." Qin Ying said.
"That's good, you can find a few people to help get the things I brought from the house to the kitchen, and then let Long'er and my cooks work there, so that when everyone is together, we can have a banquet." Xuan Shijing looked at Qin Ying and signaled that he had a cart of things behind him and the cook in his house.
"Nacheng, I'll let everyone take them down, will Long'er follow you to the hall to meet my father or go directly to the kitchen?" Qin Ying looked at Long'er.
"Long'er went directly to the kitchen, just with the cook in the house." Long'er replied.
"Okay, then I'll take Brother Shijing in first." Qin Ying said.
After speaking, the two entered the gate of the Qin Mansion.
The Qin Mansion is also full of lights, with red lanterns hanging all over the courtyard, and even the family servants have red belts tied around their waists, and follow Qin Ying all the way to the hall of the Qin Mansion, seeing Qin Qiong and his wife sitting in the first place, Xuan Shijing hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"My nephew Shijing has seen Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin, and I wish Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin peace and joy in the new year, happiness and good health, all wishes come true, and everything goes well." Xuan Shijing walked in front of the two and bowed.
"Okay, get up, Jing'er's little mouth is really sweet, Huaiyu should learn from your brother Shijing, Jing'er, let Uncle Qin take a look, and see if our little Shijing is fat during the New Year." Qin Qiong looked at Xuan Shijing happily, maybe it was because she was recuperating at home during the Chinese New Year, Qin Qiong's face was full of red light, and she couldn't see the loss of qi and blood before.
Xuan Shijing straightened up when he heard this, and looked at Qin Qiong and his wife with a grin.
Mrs. Qin also looked very happy to see Xuan Shijing, and said to Qin Qiong with a smile: "Husband, look, I haven't seen Jing'er for half a month, and the concubine feels that Jing'er is a lot stronger." Then he instructed the maid on the side to take the red envelope, and beckoned Xuan Shijing to come closer: "Come, Jing'er, this is the New Year's money for you, take it." ”
Xuan Shijing stepped forward and took the red envelope given by Mrs. Qin with both hands, and put it into his arms with a smile: "The elder didn't dare to resign, but Jing'er was disrespectful." ”
"Hahaha~~" Xuan Shijing's flipping action made Qin Qiong and his wife laugh.
"Xiao Jing'er, the old man likes your straightforward nature." Qin Qiong said with a laugh.
"Hehe, Jing'er is saving some private money for herself, you don't know, Jing'er has less pocket money when she plays children."
"Hahahahaha." Hearing Xuan Shijing say this, Qin Qiong laughed even more: "You kid, you are bored in the house all day long, and you need so much pocket money to do, it's hard to save up to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
"Of course, Jing'er plans to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future." Xuan Shijing knew that Qin Qiong was making fun of herself, and she also made a joke by the way.
"Haha, okay, when Jing'er grows up, Uncle will find you a beautiful daughter-in-law!" Qin Qiong said with a smile.
"Then Uncle has to find a dozen of them for Jing'er."
"Oh?" Xuan Shijing said this, but Qin Qiong was stunned, more than a dozen?
"Jing'er has to pick a good one." Xuan Shijing squinted and said with a smile.
As soon as Xuan Shijing's words came out, not only Qin Qiong and his wife couldn't stop laughing, but even Qin Ying, who was standing on the side, secretly covered his mouth and laughed.
"Master, Lu Guogong has arrived." The little servant of the Qin Mansion walked into the hall and bent down to report.
"This old Cheng, I knew that he came first, and as soon as I heard that there was food, he was better than anyone else." Qin Qiong said with a smile: "Tell him, it's all old brothers, I won't go out to greet him, just invite him in, by the way, the guests who came with the invitation card today are all acquaintances, don't ask more, just invite him in." ”
"Yes." The little guy answered and retreated.
Before Cheng Biting Jinren arrived, the sound was heard first, and as soon as the little guy left for a while, a hearty laughter spread to the hall.
Cheng Yanjin was dressed in a brocade coat and strode into the hall with his head held high.
"Brother Qin, I'm here."
Cheng Biting Jin didn't come alone, he also came with his eldest son Cheng Chumo, because Qin Qiong said in the invitation that Xuan Shijing came to Qin Mansion to live, and took advantage of the current New Year to rest, and called the familiar old brothers to gather, and was afraid that Xuan Shijing's child would be bored during the banquet, so he specially asked to bring his own child to come.
As soon as Cheng Yanjin entered the door, Qin Qiong and his wife got up from the couch and stood up.
"Brother Qin, sister-in-law." Cheng Biting Jin bowed to the two.
After some politeness, Cheng Yanjin also sat down on the side.
"Husband, you and Zhijie are here to talk, let the children go to play in the back, and the concubine will go down to supervise the preparation of the luncheon later." Mrs. Qin said to Qin Qiong.
"Okay, Madam, let's go, Huaiyu, take Shijing and Tie Niu to play in the back, Chongyi, Baoqing and Lingwu will come in a while, and then let them go directly to the backyard to find you two."
"Yes." Qin Ying responded, then pulled up Xuan Shijing and went to the backyard.
