Chapter 23: Big Brother
When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Shi Qingqian got out of the car and saw a thin and tall figure standing at the door, like a green bamboo on a cold cliff, tall and powerful.
"Big brother." Shi Qingqian's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he opened his hands and pounced, hugging Shi Nian's legs.
Shi Nian lowered his head and met a pair of big eyes full of anticipation, and there was a hint of softness on his unsmiling face: "Little sister." ”
"Big brother hug!" Shi Qingqian likes Shi Nian very much, not only because of the other party's solemn but handsome face, but also because of his gentleness, as well as the faint bamboo fragrance on his body.
Shi Nian looked at Shi Qingqian, who was looking at him with open arms and stunned, chuckled lightly and reached out to hug her: "My little sister has been heavy recently." ”
Shi Ke hadn't seen Shi Nian for a long time, so he walked over in three or two steps: "You also know the temperament of this little girl, no matter what you see, you have to stuff it in your mouth to be happy." ”
Shi Qingqian lay on Shi Nian's shoulder, glared at Shi Ke angrily, and pouted aggrievedly: "No, it must be the eldest brother who has been doing the car for a day, and his body is tired, don't listen to the second brother slandering Er." ”
When Shi Nian heard this, together with Shi Ke on the side, he couldn't help but laugh at Shi Qingqian: "Okay, it's your second brother who is talking nonsense, and the little sister is not heavy, it's light, just like that goose feather, okay?" ”
When Shi Qingqian heard this, he twisted his little buttocks and leaned his head on Shi Nian's shoulder happily: "It's better to be a big brother." ”
Shi Ke on the side was not happy when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to hook Shi Qingqian's little nose: "You little girl, when I secretly bring you pastries from the Western Canteen on weekdays, why don't you say that the eldest brother is the best?" ”
Shi Qingqian stuck out his tongue at Shi Ke, turned his head and ignored him, Shi Ke was amused by her and couldn't laugh: "Okay, you girl, don't ask me to bring you cakes in the future." ”
When Shi Qingqian heard this, he immediately raised his head, looked at Shi Ke aggrievedly, turned his head to look at Shi Nian, and said coquettishly: "Big brother, you see that the second brother is bullying Qi'er again, and the eldest brother wants to be the master of Qi'er." ”
"Little sister is not aggrieved, where is your second brother willing to let you starve? Don't worry, he just scares you, and he won't wait for you to say another day, he will deliver the pastries to you. Shi Nian patted Shi Qingqian's thin back and comforted.
A few people talked and laughed and walked all the way into the main hall.
Xu heard that Shi Nian came back today, and his father, second uncle and third uncle were all there, as well as a group of family members, and the main hall was full.
However, I didn't see Shi Peng and Aunt Liu, probably because of the incident of falling into the river, and the body was not neat yet.
"Mother." When Shi Qingqian saw the eldest lady, he called out happily.
The eldest lady smiled and hugged Shi Qingqian out of Shi Nian's arms: "Shi Nian is back, I'm tired all the way." Saying that, he looked at Shi Qingqi in his arms, and said reproachfully: "Your eldest brother is running all the way, and you don't want to say that you are distressed, and you have to let your eldest brother come back." ”
Shi Nian looked at Shi Qingqian who was aggrieved, and hurriedly said: "Don't blame the little sister, the eldest aunt, it was Zishu who saw the little sister who came back from the academy at the door, because she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she liked it so tightly in her heart, so she had to come in with her." ”
The eldest lady knew what her girl looked like when she was coquettish, and looked at Shi Nian with a smile, but before she could speak, she was robbed by Shi Zhenxiang on the side.
"The seventh sister has never been big or small, she is reluctant to do anything, she is young and can rely on everyone's favor to splash wantonly, the eldest brother is reading the books of sages, and she will be left to her, looking at the emaciated and tired appearance of the eldest brother, Xiang'er is distressed, not to mention the second aunt."
The aunt in the third room glared at Shi Zhenxiang angrily, and the other party reluctantly shut up: "Big sister, don't blame, the child is young, not sensible, and there is no big or small thing when she speaks, but in the end, she feels sorry for her eldest brother, and her sister must not care." ”
The eldest lady has always been magnanimous, and it is nothing to be robbed of words by juniors, but the words of this third-room lady are a little intriguing.
Shi Qingqian wrapped his arms around the eldest lady's neck, and glared at Shi Zhenxiang with a small face: "The eldest brother hugs the eldest brother, even if it is spilled by the eldest brother, the eldest brother is also willing, if you are jealous and unaccustomed to it, you have the ability, let the eldest brother hug you too." ”
"You ......" Shi Zhenxiang felt angry for a while, but the mother in front of her gave her a closed look, and she could only endure it sullenly.
Shi Qingqian naturally saw their movements, raised his chin proudly, and his tone was a little more flamboyant: "I'm afraid that the eldest brother respects the sage book and loves his sister and follows you, but he is hurt by your bulky body." ”
"You, who do you say is fat?" Shi Zhenxiang finally endured the anger in her heart, but she didn't expect Shi Qingqian to humiliate her like an inch by inch by relying on her young age and being favored by everyone, her body was a little rounder, but it was not her turn to preach!
Now her mother didn't help her, she just blindly told her to shut up, and the father on the other side didn't seem to see anything, and the feeling of isolation and helplessness couldn't help but make her red eyes, and finally she could only stomp her feet angrily, turned around and ran out of the room aggrievedly, probably going to find her Lin Xiaoniang crying nose.
"Hey, this ......" The third old man Shi Shangfei looked at the back of his baby daughter, a little embarrassed, and could only reprimand indiscriminately: "What does it look like." ”
Sanfang didn't expect this Shi Zhenxiang to be so big or small, suppressed a trace of darkness in his eyes, turned his head to look at the people in the main hall, and smiled apologetically: "It's because I didn't educate well, I must teach well when I go back, don't blame." ”
Sanfang has always been accustomed to spoiling concubines and killing wives, Shi Zhenxiang was born to Lin Xiaoniang, and she grew up under Lin Xiaoniang's knees since she was a child.
"It's okay, it's just children." Shi Yuan, who had not spoken, spoke, and the head of the family spoke, and the atmosphere returned.
Shi Qingqian was hugged into Shi Yuan's arms, sat on his lap, looked at the door without Shi Zhenxiang's figure, hummed, and happily played with the gold-inlaid jade wrench on Shi Yuan's thumb.
After a wave of farce, the second room had the opportunity to pull his son to greet him.
"Oh, my brother, you're back, you don't know how much your mother misses you these days, let your mother see it." Shi Heqing's wife in the second room is a person who has never read a book, and there are some philistines, and there are more strange concepts of patriarchy.
The second old man Shi Heqing is not profitable in the officialdom, and he is the least good in the family, so the second lady has been depressed in her heart, but fortunately, she has accumulated virtue in her previous life and has Shi Nian, although she is young, but her talent and Wenhua are famous in Beijing, which makes her straighten her waist in front of people.
But because of the reason that she was pressed before, now as soon as she goes out, she will mention Shi Nian when she meets people, and the meaning of praise and showing off is overflowing, although she doesn't say anything in front of outsiders, but behind her back, she doesn't know how to laugh at her.
