032 Go to the banquet

Jin Niang woke up the next day, Xu Erlang disappeared as usual, but in the middle of her, there was a little girl who was sleeping.

Last night, Xu Erlang wanted to put Changle in the blue yarn cabinet to sleep, but the little girl was really frightened, even if she fell asleep, as soon as she picked her up, she was so shocked that she opened her eyes instantly.

Xu Erlang couldn't, and in the end he could only agree to Changle to stay in their bed and sleep.

Changle had slept with Jin Niang for a few nights before, and quickly fell asleep in Jin Niang's arms. Jin Niang hugged a soft and glutinous little ball, and fell asleep at some point.

I slept well this night, and now I wake up feeling refreshed and my mind is a little clearer.

She got up cautiously and called for a maid to wait for her to wash.

was about to call someone to bring breakfast over, and Xu Erlang came over.

This man had always had breakfast in the front yard. Because he got up very early every morning to practice, and he had to bathe again after training, in order to prevent waking up Jinniang, and he was also disgusted and ran back to the backyard to trouble, Xu Erlang took care of himself in the front yard. By the way, I had breakfast in the front yard, and then went to the study to read.

Jin Niang herself is used to breakfast, and when she saw him coming over at this time, she was still a little surprised, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"No, I'll use it with you."

When Jin Niang heard this, she asked the maid to add a few soup dumplings and bring a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge. In addition, Xu Erlang is a meat eater, and the only two times he had breakfast together, he had to eat at least two catties of beef, so he had to let the maid bring some beef and mutton.

During the meal, Jin Niang didn't bother to ask Xu Erlang why he wanted to go back to the back house to eat today, it was the same whether he asked or not, anyway, the result was that the two of them were eating at the same table now. She asked the question she was concerned about yesterday, "Did you send someone to find your father?" ”

The weather is sunny today, and the sun is shining brightly outside. They are going to the Shi family today to attend the old lady's birthday banquet, and the whole family of the Xu Mansion will attend. This big family is at home, and there is a lack of Xu's father.

"I've looked for it, I'm back."

"That's good."

The two of them had eaten, and Changle, who was sleeping soundly in the Babu bed, also woke up.

The little girl rubbed her misty eyes, looking sleepy-eyed, very cute.

Jin Niang personally dressed her, washed her little face, tied two small knots for her, and brought beads and bells, so that the little girl became more and more delicate and cute.

Jin Niang fed Changle a small bowl of egg custard again, and the little girl came to her senses at this time.

She filled her stomach, wrapped her hands around Jinniang's neck, rubbed her little head against Jinniang's cheeks, and said in a milky voice, "Thank you, auntie." ”

Jin Niang's heart is soft, it's almost turned into water.

But no matter how soft-hearted she is, she can't hold Changle all the time.

She hadn't had time to put on her makeup yet, and seeing that it was time to leave, she had to quickly pack herself up.

Jin Niang originally wanted to put Changle on the ground and let the maid lead her to play with her brother. saw Xu Erlang sitting at the window reading a book, and she changed her mind.

She shoved Changle over, and Changle was instantly shocked and didn't dare to move. Xu Erlang also looked like he was facing a great enemy, and he was a little clueless about what to do with the little group in his arms.

This wasn't last night, he didn't think about anything else at that time, the situation was urgent, and he came back with Changle in his arms. Now holding such a small ball with little weight but soft and glutinous, he is really ...... I don't know how to react.

Jin Niangquan didn't see the discomfort of the two, Gu Zi explained to the two, "Changle and uncle play for a while, and aunt goes to put on makeup." Erlang, you look at Changle for a while, it's not a problem to take care of her grandmother and maid, I'll go back and change her to a new one, and you will play with her first. ”

When Jin Niang sat in front of the dresser and put on makeup, the two people in the window were already much more comfortable.

Although Xu Erlang didn't play with him, the book in his hand was replaced by a picture book for young children. He flipped it casually, and Changle looked at it with a blank eye. She was attracted by the bright colors and cute villains in the album, and she couldn't care about her uncle's cold face anymore, and she couldn't care about being afraid.

Jin Niang nodded, somewhat satisfied with the situation.

She is not very good at taking care of children, but she also knows that without male elders in the family, little girls will always be insecure, inferior, and unconfident.

Moreover, Xu Dalang died in battle, and in the next ten years, Changping Chang'an and Changle will rely on their uncles to help them, and they will ask Xu Erlang and Xu Sanlang to be their backers. In this case, it is not a bad thing to let a few children get close to Xu Erlang and Xu Sanlang to cultivate and cultivate feelings.

Looking at it from another angle, letting Xu Erlang take care of the children now is also to prepare for him to be able to take care of their children independently in the future......

After Jinniang cleaned up, the maid also came over to report that Xu Chong had led Changping and Chang'an to wait in the front yard, and the lord and lady also packed up and took the four girls out of the door. When Jin Niang heard this, she asked Xu Erlang to hug Changle, and they also went out together.

The Shi family and the Xu Mansion are a little far away, almost one in the easternmost part of Pingyang Town, and the other in the westernmost part of Pingyang Town.

The Xu family has practiced martial arts for generations, and the Shi family has cultivated and studied heirlooms.

Because the two families have taken different paths, and because Xu's father lingers all day long, he has never been motivated for decades; is also because Xu's mother is obsessed with poetry, books, piano and chess, and spends her spare time on the four arts, and rarely goes home to visit her parents, so the relationship between the two governments is not close.

But despite this, the old lady of the Shi family was also very close and excited to see the people of the Xu Mansion. In addition to complaining about Xu's father and not bothering to pay attention to it, the old lady of the Shi family took the hands of the juniors of the Xu family and said a few words to everyone, caring and considerate.

Father Xu was left out in the cold and didn't care. More than ten years ago, the old lady didn't want to see him, although at the beginning, in order to treat him better, the old lady did be close to him for two years, but seeing that he was not motivated, and the Xu family gave birth to three sons in succession, and completely gained a foothold in the house, the old lady didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The old lady still has this attitude towards Father Xu, and the old lady of the Shi family has no way to be better than Father Xu.

If he hadn't been going to participate in the Autumn Festival, he would have been pestered, and it would have been impossible for him to agree to marry his daughter full of poetry and books to the Xu family - because the Xu family gave a rich dowry, and he could take out a part of it for him to take the exam.

I still think of this and the old lady of Shifu is a little depressed, and because of the dowry sent by the Xu family, I feel that I can't raise my head in front of my son-in-law. This son-in-law is prodigal, and he can't do anything, and there is nothing he can look at...... When it comes to Father Xu's old lady, he is not happy, if it is not a last resort, he really doesn't want to see this son-in-law.

doesn't like to see his son-in-law, but Mrs. Shi likes her grandchildren tightly. Especially when I heard that Xu Erlang abandoned martial arts and participated in this year's scientific examination, the old lady was so happy in his heart.

It's a pity that some time ago, his mentor was seriously ill and died, and he and several brothers and sisters deliberately ran over to see his mentor on the last journey. Three months have passed, so that not only did he not have time to attend his grandson's wedding, but even Erlang's scientific expedition did not have time to help him.

I still feel sorry when I think of the old lady, so I called Xu Erlang over now, asked him about his answers in detail, and estimated how likely it was that his grandson would successfully pass the boy's test.
