242 Jin Niang originally thought that Xu Erlang would go this time, why would it take an hour to come back. After all, Mother Xu is really angry today, she has nothing to do with her daughter-in-law, it can be seen that the culprit Xu Erlang, Mother Xu is not pointing at his nose and scolding him.

Scolding and persuading, and then tearing again, how can it take an hour. But Jinniang never expected that Xu Erlang would come back before she finished taking a bath.

It's a bit fast.

What can you say with such a long period of effort?

Jin Niang looked at her suspiciously, and heard Xu Erlang say, "Mother is a little excited, wait for her to calm down for two days, and then we will talk." ”

…… Then you're really unfilial.

Just put Xu's mother aside, and Xu's mother's angina is a ghost. But just like Xu Erlang said just now, Xu's mother is now angry, and she can't hide her mouth and say something unpleasant, in case it hurts the relationship between mother and son, it will not be beautiful. Again, Xu Erlang is a stubborn character, and what he made up his mind to do, it was something that a hundred cows couldn't pull back.

He made up his mind to release him, and it was in vain for Xu Mu to say another hundred and a thousand sentences. Rather than making trouble between the two of them at that time, it is better to be calm and calm with each other.

This calmness calmed down to the point that several people in Chang'an were on vacation.

After a few people came back, the atmosphere at home was different from the sensitive idea. In the past, when the maids and servants passed by the front yard, they walked on their tiptoes one by one, as if they were afraid that the movement would be too big and cause trouble.

Changping muttered a few words, "What the hell are these people doing?" The left side is not easy to walk, one by one shrinks their necks and pads their feet, what about the image? ”

Chang'an gave a look to the little guy who followed behind him, the little guy was smart, nodded knowingly, and then went to find a familiar partner to inquire about the news.

When the three of them had returned to the courtyard, the little man who inquired about the news came over and told him what he had heard.

Chang'an raised his eyelids, "Second uncle wants to be released?" ”

"The news from the servants is so, and it is said that the news came from the Heyan Hall. As for the truth of this news, the minions do not know. ”

Thinking that his grandmother and second uncle had sulked and had not been angry for nearly twenty days, and because of this, he was angry with Aunt Shang and Xiao Yu'er, Chang'an was speechless and had a headache, but he also felt that the news released by the second uncle was eighty percent true.

Realizing that the second uncle and second aunt might be leaving Beijing soon, Chang'an's heart suddenly became chaotic, and the whole person was a little at a loss, and suddenly felt like a child who had been discarded, and he didn't know where the road ahead was.

Chang'an's reaction was quite steady, and Changping was indeed fried. He plucked his ears several times in disbelief, "What? What did you say? My second uncle wants to be released? Fake it. The official positions outside are also mostly a radish and a pit, and those fat shortages may not be able to be in the process of planning for a few years, as for those thankless ...... My second uncle definitely doesn't like it. So my second uncle has long planned to go out? It can't be, it's absolutely impossible. ”

Changping ran outside while chattering, "I'll go to Cuibaiyuan and ask the second uncle." ”

Chang'an wanted to say that the second uncle must still be in the Hanlin Academy at this time. The Hanlin Academy was also busy a few years ago, so I definitely didn't go home at this time. But thinking about it again, even if the second uncle is not at home, there is still a second aunt, and it is the same to ask the second aunt.

Thinking so, Chang'an also quickly got up and followed Changping out.

At this time, Qing'er, who heard the news, also frowned and went to Cuibai Garden.

When Jin Niang saw the three young men coming, she beckoned them to sit down and warm up. It's really cold in winter. Seeing the top of Changping's head bubbling up, Chang'an and Qing'er's faces were frozen white, and the tip of their noses was still red, looking pitiful and ridiculous.

"I know what you want to ask, you wait, I'll tell you in a moment." She beckoned the maids to come over with some tea and snacks, "You must be thirsty and hungry all the way back, eat something to cushion your stomach first." But wait a little longer for dinner, don't be greedy, two pieces per person will be enough. ”

Changping didn't want to eat, and he was full of weakness when he thought that his second uncle and aunt were going to leave Beijing. He wanted to ask what would happen to him and his brother after his aunt and uncle left Beijing? How could they bear to leave this big family, old and young, and why were they willing to let them out? But what position does he have to ask? They are just nephews and not sons, where can they delay the future of the second uncle because of their own selfishness? Besides, there are not many parents who can stay in Beijing for their own children, and it is difficult to rise to official positions.

Changping pinched a piece of plum blossom cake sullenly, didn't eat or speak, only hung his head and wilted.

Chang'an and Qing'er were also a little depressed, and Jinniang felt helpless when she saw this, but she could only cheer up and say, "Look at you one by one, wilted and listless, what is this going to do?" Your second uncle is preparing to be released, maybe three years, maybe six years, maybe when he will return to Beijing. Why did you make this atmosphere so solemn, as if your second uncle couldn't come back after he went. ”

Chang'an pursed his mouth and said, "Second aunt, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not talking nonsense." In fact, she really wants to let a few children have a good New Year, and after the New Year, she will tell them the news of Xu Erlang's release. Helplessly, the people in Xu's mother's yard were really loosely controlled, but in a day or two, the news came out from Xu's mother.

Fortunately, Mama Li told her about this as soon as possible, and she deliberately knocked everyone again, so now the news is only spreading in the house, but it has not yet spread. This is also suitable for her to rectify the atmosphere and subordinates in the house several times, otherwise I am afraid that if there is a little wind in the house, everyone will know about it.

After the news spread, there was no movement there. After all, she had talked to her earlier, so Pian Pian was not surprised at all. It was Changle and Xiaoyuer who ran over excitedly to ask. Changle was especially pitiful, his eyes were red, and tears ran out of his eyes in a blink of an eye.

But this girl is also easy to coax, Jin Niang told her that she would take her with her, and Changle was happy, as for Xiao Yu'er, don't mention this.

Changle himself got the letter of permission to be taken away, and his heart settled down, but he was worried about his two elder brothers. At that time, Jin Niang also comforted her, saying that Chang'an Changping was older, and he was not an ignorant child, so he could make sense if he said it well.

She and Xu Erlang really didn't plan to take Chang'an Changping to the place of exile, after all, the geography was deserted, and the style of writing was far from the capital, not to mention that it was even more difficult to find a master comparable to Yingtian Academy.

Based on all these considerations, Chang'an Changping must stay.

They planned well, but the two kids ...... Although it can also be explained, but this aggrieved little eye, oops, I feel so guilty when I see it.

Jin Niang said, "There are two considerations for keeping the two of you in the capital. One is naturally for your studies, and the other is that you are also older, your second uncle is released, and the third uncle cannot return home often, and only your grandparents are left in the family, and no one can rest assured. Chang'an Changping, if I entrust your grandparents to your care, can you do this well? Can you make your second and third uncles fight outside without any psychological burden? Will you hold up the door of the Xu Mansion during the time when your second uncle is not in the capital? ”

Chang'an and Changping wanted to say "can't", "not good" and "can't", but when the words came to their mouths, they couldn't spit them out anyway. They still want to make trouble, and they want to fight for some rights, but the corners of their mouths that gradually curl betray them. They are willing to take on the tasks assigned to them, and they can do a good job, so that the second and third uncles can work hard outside without any psychological burden. They're big, they're big enough to hold up the portal!!

A sense of responsibility that had never been felt before swept through the body, and the two boys clenched their fists excitedly, their faces full of excitement.

However, you can't be too talkative, otherwise you won't be able to get more benefits from your aunt.

At this point, the brothers' thoughts were quite the same, so even if they had readily agreed in their hearts, they quickly suppressed their joy and became vexatious again.

Is Jin Niang blind?

Not blind! So she can see the emotional changes of the two clearly. But so what, it's normal for a child to have emotions for such a big thing, and it's normal for her to lose her temper, she coaxes more and follows more, and it will be okay after all.

So, Chang'an Changping bargained, and Jinniang retreated again and again......

In the end, a lot of benefits were promised, and Jin Niang was stunned after coming back to her senses. Anyway, she hadn't even gone to Rendi, so why did she discuss with the two of them how many times a year she would visit them and how long she had to write a letter, which was too early.

But in any case, the two children were finally appeased.

And then Qing'er, this one is bigger and easier to talk to.

Qing'er saw that her sister was going to persuade herself, so she smiled and said, "Sister doesn't have to worry about me, I'm older, and I won't cry because my sister and brother-in-law are not around." ”

Chang'an Changping glared angrily at his little uncle, what's going on with his little uncle? What is a crying nose? People as big as them wouldn't cry because they missed their second uncle and aunt, which was too embarrassing.

"My sister and brother-in-law will go to office at that time, and I will watch Chang'an Changping on your behalf. They are still in trouble, and they are not honest, and I will write back to tell you. ”

Chang'an Changping: This is really not a pro-little uncle, and his own little uncle will not be so cheating people!

Chang'an Changping looked at Qing'er sadly, but Jinniang smiled when she heard this.

With Qing'er taking care of Chang'an Changping on her behalf, and taking care of some Xu Mansion by the way, she was naturally relieved. She originally meant the same thing, but unfortunately before she could say it, Qing'er said what was in her heart. Should I say that I deserve to be my sister and brother, and I have a good heart?

Xu Erlang came back in the evening, and the family got together for dinner.

Chang'an Changping was like a little adult, and asked when the official document was issued? Which state capital to go to? Is this letter accurate?

Xu Erlang replied one by one, and Chang'an Changping was even more uneasy after hearing it. The second uncle is not sure what he is, and it is not easy to pick up even some targeted preparations. When the official document comes down, I will set off immediately, and when the time comes, I will clean up this and that, which is not enough.

In fact, Jin Niang knew that although the state capital that Xu Erlang had released had not been determined, it was roughly in the northeast. However, this news is not as good as spreading for the time being, and let's wait for the official document of the Ministry of Officials.

Perhaps thinking that it would be difficult to reunite for a meal together after this year, so several people in Chang'an especially cherish this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I didn't go out to play and watch the lanterns, but gathered in Heyan Hall to play and talk.

After the night deepened, Xu's mother couldn't bear the sleepiness and sent everyone away, and several people moved to Cuibai Garden.

It is worth mentioning that Xu's mother has not forgiven her son's self-assertion so far. Even when she should be happy for the New Year, she didn't say a word to Xu Erlang because of her gamble.

And Xu's father, he was already worried about this son's nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes, and when he heard about the stupid things he did, he wanted to go up and beat his son up even more angrily.

But then think about it, it's impossible to implement.

Father Xu looked at his weak arms and legs, and could only keep throwing the knife at Xu Erlang, but this is not painful, how can Xu Erlang care? Xu's father was ignored again and again, and he became angry with a pufferfish. In the end, he was out of sight and out of mind, and "kicked out" a group of people.

The battlefield was transferred to Cuibai Garden, and all the little ones were at ease.

Jin Niang beckoned Qinghe and them to quickly bring nuts and snacks, while Pian Pian and a few people gathered around a table and played cards together.

The table was not small, but there were seven or eight people sitting large and small, and it was also full.

Jin Niang looked at it with big eyes, and saw that the eldest Qing'er and the youngest Brother Rong were all sitting there, playing cards and making a small mess, it was really messy and lively.

This night of Pianpian and Changle, Xiao Yu'er still didn't survive to the end, so she rubbed her reddened eyes and fell asleep.

Chang'an Changping Xu thought that there would not be many opportunities to vigil together in the future, so he patiently guarded Cuibai Garden and vigiled with Jinniang Xu Erlang.

Even Qing'er has always been there.

This made Jinniang, who wanted to go back to sleep, so annoyed that she didn't want to, she wanted to coax Chang'an Changping back under the pretext of going to bed early to grow taller, but this obviously didn't work. There is also Qing'er...... Father Lin is old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and these rules are the most solemn, and the whole family must be together at the New Year's vigil, even the youngest child cannot be absent. So Qing'er will definitely not go back...... Then forget it, let's keep it together.

After guarding all night, Jin Niang's eyes were red, and she yawned sleepily one after another.

Fortunately, I soon gave Xu's father and mother a New Year's greeting, and worshiped my ancestors, so I could go back to rest.

It's a pity that I can only sleep for a moment and a half, because the Xu family's clansmen soon came to the door. And Xu Erlang also has to take everyone in the family to pay New Year's greetings to some old people with high seniority.

The New Year's greetings and banquets that you came and went with me alone lasted for seven or eight days. After that, I had to visit Mr. Xia and Mr. Chu, and I also had to visit the head of the Hanlin Academy and other officials, which was a few more days.

By the time Xu Erlang and Jinniang are completely idle, they will be thirteen, and there will be two more days before the Lantern Festival.
