CHAPTER XLVI

In the main hall of Tusi Mansion, Jiawu and Chen Yukun are drinking tea (a special tea in Xiangxi) with Master Tusi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Suddenly, the dumb big brother rushed in with a whirlwind, "oh oh oh oh" gesturing, his face flushed with excitement. The eldest lady who was quietly twisting the Buddha beads on the side said coldly, "Lan'er is back." ā€

Everyone followed behind Master Tusi and walked out of the gate together, and sure enough, they saw a carriage speeding on the official road.

Master Tusi - Li Fugui was overjoyed in his heart, but he said: "He Lao Liu is not afraid of tired horses." ā€

Jiawu and the fourth brother Wen Zhong almost said in unison: "The heart is like an arrow." ā€

When the carriage came to the gate, He Lao Liu said "hoo--", and the carriage stopped steadily.

Lan'er jumped out of the car first and threw herself into the arms of the third wife. The third wife cried with joy, stroked her daughter's head, and saw the eldest lady's glance, so she quickly pushed her daughter away and said, "Lan'er, go and say hello to the lord and wife!" ā€

Lan'er respectfully called "Dad", twisted her body, and called again: "The eldest wife, the second wife." Before he finished screaming, he suddenly opened his hands and shouted, "You want to kill me, second brother", and threw himself into Jiawu's arms.

Jiawu patted Lan'er on the back and said to Chen Yukun, who was standing aside and smiling: "No way, this sister has been crazy with me since she was a child." ā€

After speaking, Jiawu pushed Lan'er in front of Chen Yukun and said, "Do you remember, you met a few years ago." ā€

"Sister Lan'er, it's good." Chen Yukun smiled and nodded.

"Oh--hello Mr. Chen!" Before she finished speaking, Lan'er's face turned red to the root of her ears.

In order to hide the inexplicable shame, Lan'er turned around and punched the dumb big brother and said, "You also want to kill me, dumb big brother." ā€

The dumb eldest brother didn't buy Lan'er's account, grinned, and hurriedly ran over to help Sister Lian carry her luggage. Lan'er thought, yo, this dumb big brother, I haven't seen my life for a few years. It's for Sister Lian, I don't see it for a day, like every three autumns.

Behind everyone, Lan'er saw peach blossoms. She chuckled in her heart. The peach blossoms are ripe and plump, and they are more beautiful, and they seem to be missing something. Lan'er couldn't speak for a while. She stepped forward and grabbed Peach Blossom's hand and called softly: "Sister-in-law." ā€

Peach Blossom responded, gently withdrew her hand, and said inexplicably: "Lan'er, I will take good care of the red silk cloak you gave me." ā€

When Master Tusi saw Lan'er greeting everyone, he said, "Let's all go back to the house, let's all go back to the house." The eldest lady said, "He Lao Liu, you saw the third young master and the fourth young master on the way here just now?" ā€

He Lao Liu replied: "I see, it should be almost there now." ā€

The eldest lady said, "Go and pick it up." ā€

He Lao Liu responded and drove away in the carriage.

When Lan'er returns, Master Tusi will hold a grand banquet in the courtyard of Tusi Mansion to catch Lan'er. It's been five years, and this is another big gathering of the Tusi Li family. In this gathering, there are more beautiful teacher Dai Zhongping and shrewd and capable Chen Yukun.

Lan'er didn't want to see Teacher Dai Zhongping, and even wanted to find some excuse to scold her. Her thoughts of being angry for Sister Lian have not disappeared. Teacher Dai entered the house and saw her at first sight. Teacher Dai smiled at her, and said with big beautiful eyes: Hello, Orchid (flower)! What else is there to scold? Lan (Hua) couldn't scold, and for no reason she felt close. In fact, this feeling arose five years ago in the fourth brother's house. Many years later, Lan'er was still thinking about why she couldn't get annoyed when Teacher Dai snatched Sister Lian's position?

The dinner was sumptuous and lively, Jiawu, Wen Bin, and Wen Zhong rarely drank alcohol, but today the brothers were all drunk, and they actually rolled up their sleeves and drew their fists. In the applause, Lan'er was sitting on pins and needles, and she always felt that a pair of eyes were looking at her intentionally or unintentionally. She also thought, if she wasn't looking for that figure intentionally or unconsciously, how would she know that the other party was looking at her?

The third wife had a clear view from the sidelines. She thought: Alas, Lan'er is older and has her own mind.

The dinner lasted until late at night. Just as he was about to disperse, Jia Wu stood up and said, "Don't be busy leaving first, I have something to say." ā€

What Jiawu wanted to say, he had already said to Li Defu, the master of Toast, before the meal. Master Tusi naturally knew what Jiawu was going to say, he coughed dryly and said, "Did you hear it, Jiawu has something to say, you all sit down." ā€

The second wife and the third wife thought that Jiawu was still going to talk about wine, and their feet had reached the threshold, and when they heard the words of Li Defu, the master of the toast, they quickly withdrew their legs and stepped back.

Jiawu said: "The provincial capital and the GD********** Modern Civilization Performance Troupe went north for a joint tour, and originally only went to the county seat, but Commissioner Miao said that they agreed to go to Qingshui Ancient Town tomorrow night to perform an additional performance!" ā€

"Oh oh oh oh", before Jiawu finished speaking, the dumb big brother cheered, as if he understood. He danced and told everyone that the girls inside were dancing, and their clothes were as thin as mosquito nets, and half of their were exposed.

"Phew!" The second wife raised the fan in her hand and knocked it on the dumb brother's head and said, "How do you know? ā€

The dumb eldest brother rubbed his head, pointed at Jiawu, and gestured for a while, saying that the second brother told him two days ago. He went to the county seat with the stone and the dog to see it, and it was very good-looking, and he regretted it if he didn't see it.

Sister Lian stomped her feet and pounded her thighs excitedly, and was glared at by the eldest lady fiercely, and quickly covered her mouth and shrank her head, not daring to move again.

Wen Bin and Wen Zhong said almost in unison: "Last night, we and Teacher Dai also went to the county seat to watch this performance. This is the first time we have seen the scene of a scene of crowds vying to see a play. It's a really good performance, let's all watch it tomorrow night. ā€

"He Lao Liu." Master Toast shouted.

"Master, here you are." He Lao Liu ran in from outside the door.

"Tomorrow I have a few more cars and I will all go to the show in the evening." After that, the old man Tusi turned to the old mother and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, ask the kitchen to prepare the meal early, and tell everyone to finish work early." ā€

Everyone went out one by one, Peach Blossom followed last, feeling that the toast master was following behind, when she stepped over the threshold, she hesitated for a moment, and glanced back at the toast mansion master Li Defu. Li Defu was also staring at her, and that gaze seemed to be able to speak. Peach Blossom jumped a few times in her heart, and walked a long way, still feeling that those eyes were following her......
