That night, Zou Baoyi invited Chen Zui to a tavern on the street for a drink.

"You retreated from foreign enemies, not only helped Cheng Jing, but also helped the country, come, I toast you."

Chen Zui said: "As a countryman, it is supposed to protect the territory for the country. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

"What a pity?"

Zou Baoyi said: "If you form an alliance with Cheng Jing now, send troops from the waterway, and attack the Song and Bai armies on both sides, once you win, you can share the world equally with Cheng Jing." It's just that I know that you don't want to be in the world, so I say it's a pity. ”

Chen Zui shook his head and said: "The division of several warlords has tormented the country, and if I intervene again, I don't know when the world will be chaotic." I might as well devote myself to the cause of education, and I can do something meaningful for the country. ”

"Then I'll wish you all the best."

After a while, Chen Zui asked, "I said, your sister has given birth, why aren't you a brother who is still married?" Isn't Uncle Zou in a hurry? ”

Zou Baoyi said helplessly: "Who said it's not in a hurry, it's because you came late today, and I didn't see the matchmaker who came to my house, I'm really tired of coping." ”

Chen Zui said curiously: "With your identity, the matchmaker must introduce a talented and beautiful young lady, so none of them have entered the eyes of your Young Master Zou?" ”

Zou Baoyi said: "Arranged marriage is not what I want. ”

Chen Zui said: "Do you have a woman you like?" This is a good thing, you can confess to Uncle Zou. ”

Zou Baoyi was about to explain, when he looked up and saw the two walking down the street hand in hand, blurting out, "Shaoling, Miss Qingning." ”

Chen Zui turned around when he heard this, saw the two of them, and immediately ran out, and then the three of them came back together. The four of them were overjoyed when they met unexpectedly.

Zou Baoyi asked, "Shaoling, Miss Qingning, why are you here?" ”

"We're near Guicheng right now."

"Hey, you guys just held hands, the appearance of Lang Qing and concubine, tell me quickly, is something good coming?"

Xue Qingning lowered his head, Duan Shaoling paused, and said a little shyly: "I went back with Qingning to see my father two days ago, and I just came to Guicheng today. ”

Chen Zuixi said: "That's great, congratulations." ”

Zou Baoyi said: "You should say that you are happy." You still don't know, Chen Zui and Chu Xian have also met their parents, and they have set a date for next spring, have you set your date? ”

Duan Shaoling also said happily: "Congratulations." ”

Chen Zui also asked, "Is your day set?" ”

"Not yet."

Chen Zui was puzzled: "Why didn't Uncle Duan set a date for you?" ”

Duan Shaoling said bluntly: "Because Mr. Xue has decided to join forces with Cheng Jing to fight against Song and Bai, we will leave for Wen Qiong in the near future." ”

Chen Zui asked, "Are you going to send troops to help Cheng Jing?" What are the conditions? Do you share the world equally with Cheng Jing? ”

"Unconditionally."

"Unconditionally? Have you already surrendered to Cheng Jing? ”

Duan Shaoling explained: "It's a joint effort, not a surrender, and the world must not fall into the hands of the Song and Bai families." The world is in the hands of Cheng Jing, and the people will at least have a good life. ”

Zou Baoyi sighed: "I didn't expect the sun to be Cheng Jing's bosom friend." ”

Duan Shaoling said: "We just want to be the people's bosom friend." ”

"Well said, I wish you all the best of luck!"

Then they drank until ten o'clock and dispersed, Duan Xue and the others lived in a town not far from Guicheng, and Chen Zui lived in the guest room of Zou Mansion, two rooms next to Leng Chuxian.

When she went back, the light in her room was still on, and she hadn't slept yet. Chen Zui knocked on the door, and Leng Chuxian opened the door, "I thought you would drink late." ”

Chen Zui entered the house and told him what he had just met Duan Xue and the others, and Leng Chuxian was also happy for them.

Chen Zui asked again: "Are your sister-in-law and children okay?" ”

Leng Chuxian said with a smile while pouring water for him: "My sister-in-law and the child are very good, but my sister-in-law has always minded that everyone says that the child is like my brother and not like her." ”

Chen Zui drank a glass of water, then leaned into her ear and whispered, "What about you, who do you want our future children to be like?" ”

Leng Chu said with envy and disgust: "It's nonsense." ”

Chen Zui suddenly hugged her horizontally, the speed was so fast, Leng Chuxian had no room to dodge at all, and he only reacted when he hugged him, "Ah", and struggled: "What are you doing, let me go quickly, I will be seen for a while." ”

Chen Zui didn't let go, took out his left index finger, "shhh ”

Leng Chu laughed at him, "Say stupid things, it's not up to us to decide who the child looks like." ”

Chen Zui didn't give up, "I said yes." ”

In the face of his domineering, Leng Chuxian had no choice but to say politely: "Okay, okay, you say yes, let me down!" ”

"It's okay to let you down, then you can kiss me."

Leng Chuxian's whole face turned red, "Oh, don't make trouble, okay?" ”

Chen Zui immediately put her down.

"Let's go back and rest early, tomorrow is another day, we can go back to Jingu the day after tomorrow."

Leng Chuxian sent him to the door, Chen Zui suddenly turned around again, and the lips of the two were tightly glued together......

After Chen Zui left, Leng Chuxian reacted from a blank space, and slowly, there was a kind of sweetness after drinking the tea haunting his heart.

The next day, when Chen was drunk, it was past nine o'clock, and when he arrived in the hall, he only saw the subordinates of the Zou Mansion doing things, and the subordinates told him that the master, the young master, and the aunt had all gone out, and the two young ladies were still in the room, and then went to prepare breakfast for Chen Zui.

Halfway through Chen's drunkenness, Duan Shaoling and Xue Qingning walked into the door with gifts. Chen Zui put down the dishes and chopsticks and greeted him, "Are you here to visit Bao'er?" ”

"yes, why are you here alone?"

Uncle Lin happened to come over from the side, and Xue Qingning greeted him cordially: "Uncle Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Uncle Lin was stunned, and finally reacted, "It's Miss Qingning, I haven't seen you for many years, and now I'm getting more and more beautiful." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, I came today to see Bao'er, is it convenient?"

"Convenient." Uncle Lin asked a maid to take her to the young lady's room, and Duan Shaoling stayed outside to accompany Chen Zui.

When Xue Qingning was about to arrive in the room, he heard the cry of a baby coming from inside.

When she arrived at the door, the maid announced, "Miss, Miss Xue has come to see you." ”

Zou Bao'er was stunned for a moment, she didn't react to who it was, and when she saw that it was Xue Qingning, she was very surprised, "Qingning, why did you come here?" ”

Xue Qingning smiled, "Bao'er, I heard that you gave birth to a child, so I came to see you." As she spoke, she stood still under her feet, she didn't know if Zou Bao'er was still blaming her after all.

As everyone knows, in fact, Zou Baoer had already figured it out a few years before she got married, and hurriedly said: "Don't stand there, come in." ”

Xue Qingning came over, said hello to Leng Chuxian, and came to see the child. The child's eyes were already very open, and after a while, he looked at Zou Bao'er again, and said: "This child is very similar to you above the nose, especially the eyes are as smart and warm as you." ”

Zou Bao'er was overjoyed after hearing this: "Is it true?" Is he really like me? ”

Xue Qing said curiously: "Is it strange that your child is like you?" Why are you so excited? ”

Zou Baoer said aggrievedly: "Only you say so, they all say that the child is like his father and not like me." ”

Xue Qingning said: "Maybe the child's eyes haven't been opened two days ago, so everyone didn't see it, if you take it out and ask everyone now, they will definitely say like you." ”

Leng Chuxian also said: "Sister-in-law, Miss Qingning also said the same, now you believe that I am not lying to you." ”

Zou Bao'er is now happy in her heart.

Xue Qingning asked again: "Did the child have a name?" ”

"The situation is carried forward, and the meaning of inheritance and development is still envied at the beginning."

"Chengyang, good name!" Xue Qingning took out a cross-shaped silver pendant from his arms and put it in swaddling clothes, "This one is for Xiao Chengyang, may God bless him to grow up safely." ”

"Thank you!"

"By the way, Qingning, you haven't said why you came to Guicheng again?"

Xue Qingning did not hide it either, and told everything the truth.

Zou Bao'er congratulated the two of them with a smile after hearing this, and Xue Qingning finally believed that Zou Bao'er no longer blamed her.

That Chen Zui told Duan Shaoling about his intention to give way and return to his hometown to teach, he thought that Duan Shaoling would give him a long lecture again, but he didn't expect Duan Shaoling to support his decision this time.

At noon, Master Zou left the two of them to eat together, everyone was together, and ordered someone to take the child out for a while to show everyone, and everyone finally agreed with Xue Qingning, half of the child is like a mother.

Duan Shaoling thought that he would leave after lunch, but Zou Baoer insisted on staying in the house for a day, but it was difficult to refuse, so Xue Qingning had to agree.

Chen was bored here, and he would leave tomorrow, Duan Shaoling stayed here to accompany him, which was exactly what he wanted.

In the evening, Zou Baoyi invited them out to drink again, this time calling Guo Yixuan together, Guo Yixuan wanted to refuse because it was inconvenient to drink, Zou Baoyi said that even if he didn't drink, let him go out to sit for a while, Guo Yixuan had to go together.

After serving the wine and food, Zou Baoyi said: "The relationship between the four of us is really wonderful, Yixuan married my sister Bao'er, Chen Zui is about to marry Yixuan's sister, Qingning and Bao'er are best friends, and the three of us are classmates, let's have a toast to our inseparable relationship... Yixuan, you will replace the bar with tea. ”

The four of them had a drink together, and Zou Baoyi said again: "Chen Zui, I will marry Chu Xian at the beginning of next year, eldest brother is like a father, should you have a cup of Jingyixuan?" ”

Chen Zui poured a full wine glass, picked it up, and said solemnly: "Big brother, thank you for handing over Chu Xian to me, I will definitely treat her well, just like you do to your sister-in-law." ”

Guo Yixuan accepted this cup, "I hope you will keep your word and live up to my father's high expectations." ”

"Yixuan, Bao'er and Qingning have reconciled, and there is no grudge between you and Shaoling, right?"

Duan Shaoling raised his wine glass first, "Brother Guo, I wish you and Bao'er to grow old together and be united forever." ”

Guo Yixuan smiled, "Thank you, and I wish you and Miss Xue a good marriage soon." ”

Zou Baoyi said with a smile: "It's going to be soon, if it goes well, they will also be next spring, you can prepare a big gift at that time, just wait for the wedding wine"

There was a burst of laughter......
