Xuan Zong smiled, "Just you can speak." ”

Xuan Hongbo smiled again and gave a salute to Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Huang, full of polite words, that mouth has to grin to the ears, people who don't know, they still think that Xuan Hongbo has a good relationship with everyone.

Anyway, Xuan Yuemeng has this illusion, just looking at today, not thinking about the past, this is really a harmonious family!

Xuan Hongyu also took the people in the three rooms to greet everyone separately, although the days of the three rooms were not as good as before, but under the help of the old lady of the Xuan family, the people in the three rooms were all well-dressed and polite.

This year is carried out in a peaceful atmosphere, which still makes Xuan Yuemeng very pleased, he wants to see the family happy, he doesn't like disputes, at least, he doesn't like to see his family disputes, take a step back and open the sky.

Lao Xuan and Lao Xuan's sister-in-law also followed to Lu Yuan, although now Dali and Dazhi are rich, but Lao Xuan still wants to be a person in the Xuan family, Xuan Yuemeng is also entrusted with the housekeeper's errand, not a complete subordinate, Lao Xuan is wearing a new cotton jacket, but a big housekeeper's style.

Lao Xuan shouted, "Good luck!" ”

Crackling firecrackers.

Xuan Hongbo hugged Xuan Hongtao with one hand and Xuan Hongyu with the other, and smiled at Xuan Zonglu: "Come on, come on, the family has a good New Year, and the three of us brothers will have a good drink with Lao Tzu!" ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, I didn't know how good the relationship was, and couldn't help but look at Xuan Hongbo's wife Xuan Yu, daughter Xuan Yujie, and Xuan Hongyu's wife Xuan Cha, daughter Xuan Yuqing, four women who were scared half crazy, all expressionless. It's like four puppets, but as long as you don't talk to them, just looking at their appearance, these people are quite normal.

Zeng Jize knew what happened in their family, and today Zeng Jize is a guest. Sitting next to Xuan Zonglu, Zeng Jize hugged Xuan Yuemeng and sat beside him, causing Zeng Siping to pout again, Xuan Hongbo hurriedly hugged Zeng Siping and let Zeng Siping and Xuan Yuemeng sit together.

Xuan Yuemeng looked at Zeng Siping with a smile, the little girl seemed to be born an angry bag, it seemed that anything could make her angry, Xuan Yuemeng thought, it might have something to do with her father's discipline of her being too strict. It's better for girls to coax more.

Xuan Yuemeng went to see Sophia again, Sophia was a little cuter, she seemed simpler than Zeng Siping, she looked around curiously, it seemed that everything was fun, and she wanted to play everything.

Xuan Hongbo raised his glass and said: "Thank you for the most expensive guests to come to our Xuan family for the New Year, my nephew is very promising, and my father and my eldest brother are also very happy today." Let's all drink this cup together, haha. ”

Xuan Yue Meng sweated profusely. Leave your eyes on Xuan Hongbo's face, you are really good, after a long time, you have become the master? These words should have been said by Xuan Zonglu, right? Or is it Xuan Hongtao? However, seeing that Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Hongtao were very happy, Xuan Yuemeng didn't care about it. Happy New Year, let you Xuan Hongbo make a noise, anyway, I haven't heard Xuan Hongbo sing a high note for a long time.

Xuan Hongbo toasted one by one, very enthusiastic, as if he was very familiar with everyone.

Driven by Xuan Hongbo. The people at the table soon drank a lot of wine, everyone drank liquor, Xuan Yuemeng and Zeng Siping, Sophia drank milk, and Timothy Li and his wife drank foreign wine.

You respect me, I respect you, everyone's atmosphere is also warm, and the words are gradually increasing, hot dishes, hot pot, pastries, high-end dishes, and a happy atmosphere.

Xuan Zonglu and Zeng Jize were chatting, and Xuan Yuemeng was not very interested in hearing that both of them were talking about the affairs of the imperial court.

Xuan Zonglu said with emotion: "I really miss my teacher." (Xuan Yuemeng knows that this mentor refers to Zeng Guofan, in fact, Xuan Zonglu and Zeng Guofan are not much different, and there is no name of master and apprentice, and the relationship with Li Hongzao is the same, this is Xuan Zonglu's humble statement, for Xuan Zonglu's low-key in officialdom, Xuan Yuemeng still appreciates it.) ）

Zeng Jize nodded, "Yes, I originally said that I would go to Nanjing for the New Year, but I was delayed by Yuemeng's matter, and my father's health is not good, so I want to take leave to go back to Nanjing in the spring." ”

Xuan Zonglu: "Okay, when the time comes, if I don't fill the vacancy, I will go with you." ”

The two of them said that they had a glass of wine, Xuan Yuemeng still likes this kind of family friendship very much, how many years of accumulation, in exchange for a friendship, in modern times, friendship is very unable to stand the test of time and fame, let alone the test of women, how many friends turn against each other for women.

Not to mention friends, brothers can't keep a long-lasting friendship. (Xuan Yuemeng humbly looked at her sister-in-law, sister-in-law Zhao Qingluo is particularly beautiful and moving today, Xuan Yuemeng looked at her eldest brother Xuan Yuelei humbly, and shook her head slightly by herself, I don't know if she is silently reciting which sage article again?) ）

After Xuan Hongbo drank with everyone, he pulled Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Hongyu to chat, and the three brothers drank a little too much.

Xuan Hongbo's eyes were red, "Boss, do you say I respect you or not?" I, Xuan Hongbo, have only one boss in my life, the third, do you say that the second brother is good to you? The second brother has nothing to give you, this one hundred taels is the annual fee issued by the yamen, take it! ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, the treatment of the Tianjin prefect's yamen is good? One hundred taels for the New Year?

Xuan Hongyu stood up and shook his hand movingly: "Second brother, how can I ask for your money?" We have money in three rooms. ”

Xuan Hongbo forced it into Xuan Hongyu's hand, "Take it!" If you don't take it, you'll be angry with your second brother, big brother, don't you say? ”

Xuan Hongtao drank too much, it wasn't him, and his voice was much louder than usual, "Yes!" Take it, Hong Yu, you take it, we are brothers, and we are brothers when we are killed! Family...... Don't say ......"

Xuan Hongbo smiled and said, "Don't talk about the two families!" ”

Xuan Hongtao laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, the family doesn't talk to each other!" Second, third, I'm really happy to be my brother today, I don't have any worries to see you eating and drinking together. Come on, come on, and do ten more bowls! ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweats, are you Wu Song? Also ten bowls?

Xuan Hongbo was excited, "Big brother? Do you have something unhappy? Tell the second brother, the second child will help you get ahead, when I was a child, who bullied my eldest brother, which time was not my stick to stand up for my eldest brother. Who is not afraid of me in the whole alley? (Xuan Yuemeng Khan, brother sees the truth?) Yesterday's knife and bloodshed seem to have become a thing of the past? Is this the rhythm of three people wearing a pair of pants and sleeping a chuang? ）

Xuan Hongtao wiped his tears, "It's nothing, it's just that your eldest brother is useless." Your eldest brother is not happy in the manufacturing bureau. ”

Xuan Yuemeng was sweating even more, why did she cry while talking? Hello, it's also a positive six products.

Xuan Zonglu and Zeng Jize were originally chatting alone, but now they also noticed it.

Zeng Jize: "Brother Hong Tao, what's the matter?" ”

Xuan Hongtao waved his hand, and before he could say anything, Xuan Hongbo slapped the table, "I know, big brother." It must be Li Hongzhang's gang of Anhui Yankees who squeezed you out, isn't it? I wiped him! I'll kill them! Let's not be this bullshit official. ”

Zeng Jize persuaded, "Hong Tao, you still don't have much experience in officialdom, these things are human nature, people have been in the same place for a long time, naturally they don't have the same heart as your newcomer, it's good after a long time." Don't take it personally. ”

Xuan Hongtao sighed, "Brother Ji Ze." It's not that I'm too careful, it's that guy, alas, I don't even want to say it, especially that Sheng Xuanhuai, it's not a thing. He didn't say a word to me, he didn't let me do one thing, he did it for me, you said that it was not a bag, I went to the manufacturing bureau. Now I wish someone would come to me to quarrel, I can't even find anyone to quarrel with, you say I'm an official, gossiping with a few porters there all day long. ”

Zeng Jize groaned, and it was not easy to persuade again, if Xuan Hongtao said the truth, it would be clear that Li Hongzhang didn't want to use him anymore, this kind of thing, it is inconvenient for outsiders to say it, especially Li Hongzhang called his father everywhere on the surface, called him a teacher, in fact, he didn't take himself too seriously, Zeng Jize knew that when his father died, he was just a fart in Li Hongzhang's eyes, and the officialdom was very realistic.

Xuan Hongbo slapped the table, "Boss, isn't it Sheng Xuanhuai?" Let my nephew do him! He Sheng Xuanhuai is a fart! Can you compare with our Xuan family? ”

Xuan Yue Meng Khan, when Lao Tzu is a bandit leader, huh? I did this and that at every turn.

In fact, Xuan Yuemeng could probably guess what Xuan Hongtao said, he couldn't understand it, he couldn't put his hand into the yamen for the time being, no matter how successful he was in business, it was two lines with officialdom, in Li Hongzhang's eyes, Klinsmann was a fart, but in Klinsmann's eyes, Li Hongzhang couldn't be a fart. Xuan Yuemeng secretly remembered that Sheng Xuanhuai and the people of Anhui bullied Xuan Hongtao, but he couldn't retaliate immediately.

No matter what the relationship with Xuan Hongtao is, Xuan Yuemeng thinks that Xuan Hongtao is slapping him in the face, and one of the happiest things he is in ancient times is that he no longer has to be slapped in the face by society like in modern times.

In ancient times, it didn't work to slap him in the face, and it didn't work to slap his family in the face!

Xuan Zonglu frowned, "Second brother, how much have you drunk this time?" Just drank too much? ”

Xuan Hongbo patted his thigh and cried: "Dad, I didn't drink too much, I saw that my eldest brother was unhappy, I was sad, my boss was unhappy, can I get better?" ”

Xuan Zonglu glanced at Timothy Li and his wife, who were talking about this, and said to Xuan Hongbo, "If your voice is quieter, I will listen to your voice." ”

Catherine was a little frightened by the three Xuan Hongtao brothers, "Honey, what's wrong with them?" Nothing, right? ”

Timothy Li smiled and comforted: "Honey, there is nothing to do, the Chinese are more emotional, this is happy, don't worry." ”

Catherine sighed, nodded lightly, and looked at Xuan Hongtao and the others curiously.

Xuan Hongbo wiped his tears, "I haven't made a fist yet, have I?" Can the sound of punching be smaller? Boss, come on, come on, it's been a long time since I've boxed with my brother, five kui, five wow, six six wow! ”

When Xuan Hongtao heard the fist, he also came to his senses, and also wiped his tears, "Okay, come, seven seven, eight eight, nine old wine!" ”

Xuan Hongyu laughed, "Okay, okay, I'll pour wine for the two brothers." ”

The two of them were still crying just now, but now they are all loud, as if they are shouting, and they are all plosive! The atmosphere is so high that it can't be done.

Xuan Yuemeng sweats profusely, your emotional turn is too big, right?

Timothy Li smiled and said, "Mr. Yuemeng, you Chinese drinking is really interesting, I like to see them punch like this, and my wife also said that it is interesting." ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Timothy Lee, please take care of your wife, if there is any neglect, it is your own problem, in my home, please feel like you are returning to your own home." ”

Catherine liked Xuan Yuemeng very much, and said with a smile: "Little prodigy, you speak German very standardly, you are so good, we are very happy here, just now, your father and uncle, why are they crying?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng didn't know how to answer: "A little bit of work is not going well, the main thing is to be happy, I haven't seen each other for a long time, this is a way to express my feelings, there is nothing, please don't worry." ”

Catherine smiled and nodded, and kissed Xuan Yuemeng.

Xuan Yuemeng smelled the perfume on Catherine's body, and couldn't help it, the little cannon was hard.

A banquet was only drunk to the end, Xuan Yuemeng first sent Zeng Jize and Zeng Siping out, and when he came back, Xuan Hongtao, Xuan Hongbo, and Xuan Hongyu were really carried to a CHUANG to sleep, which was arranged by Xuan Zonglu, saying that the three brothers had slept together since childhood.

Xuan Yuemeng sighed and said to Xuan Zonglu: "I asked people to take 20,000 taels and put them in the tent in the house, you wait for them to wake up, let the second and third children take 10,000 taels each!" ”

Xuanzong nodded his head, "Okay, this is good, I'm still thinking about how to tell you about this, I originally wanted you to give them a little money, I can't use the passbook you gave me, wow, I want to use the money, just tell you." ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Yes, as long as it is used in the right place, I will give it." ”

Sophia came to pull Xuan Yuemeng to play everywhere in the open garden, Xuan Yuemeng had to accompany him, he tried to play with a child of his own age, but, after a long time, he still couldn't stand it, after all, he was not a real child, and it was difficult to experience the happiness that should belong to children.

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and gave Sophia a small stick, "Sophia, this is a pony, you go riding alone!" ”

Sophia looked at Xuan Yuemeng's little stick curiously, "This is a pony?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng put the stick between her legs, learned to ride a horse, and jumped, "Drive, drive, look, is it a pony?" ”

Sophia nodded and took the small stick from Xuan Yuemeng's hand, "Okay, I'll ride a horse, I'll take you, you sit up." ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, originally wanted to support Sophia and let herself rest for a while! (To be continued.) )
