stayed until the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the third master waited for Wang Xuyang to return to Wang's house before picking up Su Tong from Baishao Village.

When he left, Huang Dou hugged Su Tong and cried, his mother coaxed him and said that his sister would come to play with him after the New Year, and Su Tong repeatedly promised that he would come, so he was willing to let go.

The third old man looked at Su Tong's complexion and was obviously in a good mood, and he was talking about the interesting things about his uncle's family along the way, and he was secretly glad that he really used the right method.

Back in Su Mansion, Su Tong freshened up and went to Songhe Hall to greet the old lady.

Songhe Hall was already full of people, talking about how to arrange the Su Mansion, and several lords and wives of the Su family and the following sisters were all there.

Even the academy was on vacation, and Su Wenhan and Su Wenhai also went home this morning, after all, tomorrow is the New Year, only Su Wenqin followed Liu Da Shopkeeper to the north and has not come back yet.

Originally, they were supposed to be able to come back ten days earlier, but unfortunately, this year's heavy snow in the north came early and fell violently, and the Canghe River was frozen in a few days.

Originally, it was necessary to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and it was the fastest and most convenient to take the waterway from the Canghe River, but now it can't be done, and it can only be walked slowly from the land, and the road is difficult to walk on snowy days, and the group of people is carrying a large number of goods from the north in exchange, so it is very slow.

The eldest man estimated that it would be good for them to come back on the day of the New Year.

Things went a little smoother than expected, Su Wenqin rushed to the outside of the Sifang City on the night of the 29th of the year, the city gate was closed, and he had to set up a tent outside the city for the night.

As soon as the city gate was opened the next day, he rushed home, and it happened that Master Su led a large family to open the ancestral hall and prepare to worship his ancestors.

Master Su looked at the young man in front of him as if he had grown a little taller, black and strong, and his eyes were a little less immature and a little more tenacious.

The eldest lord nodded with satisfaction and beckoned him to enter the ancestral hall together.

Several masters and young masters of the Su family have entered the ancestral hall, and the ladies can only worship outside, Su Xi yawned quietly, and winked at her when he saw Su Yun looking over.

According to the customs of Sifang City, in addition to worshipping ancestors, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night is the most important on this New Year's Day.

During the day, the adults were busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and naturally there was nothing to do with Su Xi and their juniors, so they simply gathered together to listen to Su Wenqin talk about what he saw and heard along the way.

When you go out, it is inevitable to sleep in the open, and it is easy to meet mountain bandits.

Su Wenqin encountered two waves, he said: "Those mountain bandits are tall and strong, wielding a two-meter-long big knife to point at us, and the timid ones are scared when they are successful, but fortunately, the shopkeeper Liu has experience and invited the dart master of the Dongfeng Dart Bureau to escort them."

The head of the Dongfeng Dart Bureau has some prestige in various hills, so in the end, the two sides negotiated and only paid some money to buy the road.

Although there was no danger, when Su Wenqin said it, everyone was shocked into a cold sweat.

After dealing with those treacherous businessmen or greedy officials, Su Wenqin directly skipped it and didn't say anything, in his heart, his sister was a pure and flawless white lotus, and there was no need to listen to those black-hearted and corrupt things.

He picked up some interesting folk customs and talked about them, which caused the little girls to marvel again and again, and took out the gifts he brought to his younger siblings and divided them.

There were stories to listen to and gifts to take, and everyone was naturally very happy, and before they knew it, it was time for dinner.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is naturally lively, and today is one of the few days in the Su family where the girls can let go of drinking.

The amount of alcohol in the Su family is ancestral, even the girls can drink a pot, and the youngest Su Zhen has also drunk seven or eight glasses, and Su Zhen's eyes are shining brightly.

Full of wine and food, everyone chatted with the old lady and kept vigil, but the old man couldn't stay up when he was old, and he fell asleep before he arrived, and everyone dispersed.

Su Xi's brothers and sisters wanted to go to Hefeng Courtyard to accompany their father and mother to continue to guard, but Pei's felt sorry for them and drove everyone back to sleep.

Su Xi was a little glad that her mother didn't leave her to keep vigil, otherwise Lu You was really afraid that she would have to wait all night in vain.

She went back to Lanxi Garden, and as soon as she stepped into the door, someone covered her mouth and nose, Su Xi was shocked, but she couldn't shout, and she was anxious and scared.

I only heard the person behind her lower his voice, and said in her ear in a hoarse voice: "The little lady came back really late, but let me wait." ”

The man's snort brushed the back of Su Xi's neck, tickling her, making her unconsciously shrink her neck.

Although the person who came deliberately changed her voice, Su Xi still heard that it was Lu Youzhen, she was surprised that Lu Youzhen was really bold and broke into her boudoir late at night, but she actually had a trace of excitement What's going on?

Lu You really didn't want to hurt Su Xi, so naturally he didn't use much effort in his hands, and Su Xi quickly broke it off.

She turned around, crossed her waist with one hand, pointed to the person in front of her with the other, and asked, "Bah! Where did you come from, you dare to break into your aunt's boudoir at night, I told you to come and go. ”

As she spoke, she attacked Lu Youzhen with her flower skills.

His little girl was having fun, Lu Youzhen had no reason not to cooperate, and after a few moves, she pretended to be invincible and was caught by Su Xi.

Su Xi laughed proudly twice and said, "I know how powerful my aunt is." ”

"The woman is amazing, the woman spares her life." Lu Youzhen hurriedly begged for mercy.

After making trouble for a while, Su Xi couldn't help laughing first, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he asked Lu Youzhen to break free, and Lu Youzhen took Su Xi into his arms with a backhand.

Smelling the residual aroma of wine on Su Xi's body, Lu You really felt that he was drunk, he slowly approached and kissed his little girl.

Su Xi's face was redder than after drinking, and she asked, "You are not keeping vigil at home, why did you come here?" ”

"I want to keep vigil with you," Lu Youzhen said naturally.

Su Xi's face turned even redder, "How did you get in?" I haven't heard any reports. ”

"How can anyone go to someone else's house for the New Year, I naturally sneaked in." Lu Youzhen pointed to the wall in the courtyard and signaled that he had come in from the wall.

"Sure enough, it's a disciple." Su Xi sneered, she knew that Lu You really knew some kung fu, and the walls of the Su family were just trivial to him.

"I'm not," Lu Youzhen shook his head and said with a smile, "I just miss my little lady." ”

Su Xi's face was about to turn red, and she retorted in a low voice: "I haven't married you yet, not your little lady." ”

"It's going to be soon," Lu Youzhen had already counted his life, "Tomorrow is the New Year, your birthday is in April, let's get married in May, okay?" I've found someone to calculate, and the fifth day of the fifth month of May is a great day. ”

Su Xi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lu Youzhen, but scolded secretly in his heart: How can you ask me directly about this kind of thing? Can my little girl still say "yes" to you? Although she was very willing, how could she say it?

Su Xi had no choice but to say, "You ask my dad to go." ”

Seeing that the little girl was ashamed, Lu Youzhen stopped teasing her and said "yes".

The two sat by the window, snuggling up to each other and admiring the style of the night, until the dawn was faint, and Lu Youzhen gently put the sleeping person in his arms into the bed before quietly leaving.
