"Quick, let Brother Yu, Brother Ze and Sister Lu come to see your aunt. Gui Yue, you go and call the master and the young lady, and say that the eldest lady is back! "The Lin clan is resolute and resolute, and his voice is loud, and he will complete the assignment in two or three clicks." Mama Wang, go to the kitchen and ask Lao Liu to add a few more dishes, although the good ingredients are used, if they are done well, Mrs. and I will be rewarded. ”

Lin led He Bi and Wu You to the main hall, and good tea and snacks were served.

The old lady looked like a wooden man, with a smile on her lips, but her eyes were unwavering.

"Madam, the old lady and the brothers and sisters are here."

As soon as the announcement outside the door fell, a small thing like a meatball flashed in very quickly.

"Ah, Brother Beauty!" A little boy about six or seven years old was like a moth seeing fire, wandering around in front of and behind Wu You, stretching his neck to look at her face.

I saw him in a delicate blue brocade robe, with yellow hair hanging down, which was very pleasing.

"Brother Beauty, what's your name?"

"Dabao, don't be rude!" Lin almost slapped his palm on the forehead, although her son was a little smart, but he didn't know who he learned from, he liked to pester beauties at a young age, and he didn't care about men and women. Her four maids who were married to Guizhi were neatly dressed, so they were given to him, but it was impossible for other maids to touch him.

This Wu You is about the same age as him, and he looks exquisite, and that kid is in love at a glance, buzzing like a fly.

"Okay." Dabao was still a little afraid of the Lin family, he glanced at her aggrievedly, and shouted at Wu You: "Brother Beauty." My big name is He Ganyu, my little name is Dabao, you can call me baby, baby, or baby! ”

Lin almost squirted the tea in his mouth, this wrongdoer, but he knew how to tease people at the age of six.

"This is Erbao and eldest sister." Lin asked people to bring the two dolls they were holding and gave them a rough introduction.

Erbao is four years old, looks like Lin, has a square forehead and a wide mouth, and dark skin, which is not at all like Dabao. The eldest sister is only two years old, and she can't see the cowardly little appearance.

"Big girl, is the big girl back?" This hurried to come was Hebi's eldest brother, He Chengwang, he was twenty-four or five years old, eight feet tall, clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, and there was a little uncertainty in his eyes when he saw Hebi, until Hebi called out to the eldest brother with tears in his eyes, and then stepped forward to recognize each other.

"If you come back, don't leave, the He family is your root!" He Dalang didn't see the reluctance in the eyes of his mother and wife when he said this.

"I'm coming back this time mainly for Daddy's memorial day, and after the worship, I'll send Miss to my good sister." Looking at the face that was becoming more and more similar to his father, he couldn't help but burst into tears and choked up.

"Don't say anything about leaving!" He Dalang frowned slightly, and was about to explain a few more words, when a young woman walked over outside the door, interrupting his thoughts.

"Erniu, it's Erniu, I haven't seen you for many years, you've grown so big, it's really good-looking." He Bi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at his only sister.

"I'm not called Erniu, I'm called He Meiting now." Compared with Da Lang's enthusiasm, He Meiting's expression was faint. She was only more than two years old when Hebi was sold, and she was not yet old enough to remember, and she was not familiar with this sister who she hadn't seen for many years. Let's look at Hebi's shabby appearance, neither male nor female, is it not because of the He family's development now that he hurriedly came back to recognize his relatives. She is fourteen years old this year, and a few days ago, her son from outside the city sent people to see her, and he was very satisfied with her, and when she was about to marry a young grandmother, such a shabby old sister suddenly appeared, didn't she slap her in the face.

"Mei Ting, this name is quite elegant." He Bixiang didn't feel He Meiting's coldness, and still nodded with a smile.

"That's, this is what my brother asked the master in the town to take, it's called a big girl and a second girl, it's ugly." He Meiting muttered in a low voice but clearly.

Since Hebi was sold, the family has more money, and the environment has become much more relaxed, and the remaining only daughter, the Yuan family is naturally spoiled to the extreme. Later, the He family made a fortune and raised her like a daughter. Now that he has received this good family matter, the whole person has become more and more arrogant.

"The beauty of the harmony is not decorated with five colors; The pearl of the Marquis of Sui is not decorated with silver yellow; Its qualitative beauty is not enough to decorate it. Sister Hebi's name is extremely precious. ”

Everyone followed the prestige of this Langlang woman, and Wu Youyurui's delicate complexion caught everyone's eyes.

"Yes, this is the name given by the lady, and Bi Ming feels it in my heart."

Did you hear it, what kind of bullshit did you take that name, and the name of Hebi was taken by the wife of the official family, and there are allusions.

Wu You suddenly felt that she was a little naïve, and she was scheming with a little girl, but she just couldn't get used to seeing her own people being wronged.

At this time, when He Meiting saw Wu You's appearance, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she snorted coldly and stopped looking at her.

"He Bi, it turns out that your current name is He Bi, it's really nice." The old lady hadn't read a book and didn't know what Wu You meant by the call, but when she saw her little daughter's unhappy expression, she smiled and made peace.

Hebi didn't correct her mother's mistakes, only smiled quietly. In terms of appearance, Hebi has been exposed to the wind and sun these days, and naturally he is not as pampered as He Meiting, but in terms of temperament, he has thrown her a few streets.

"Okay, okay, it's not early, the big girl has been lucky all the way, after dinner, rest early, what's the feeling, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Lin said, thought for a while, and said, "Let's live in ... The two rooms on the east side of the west wing were cleaned up. ”

The old lady didn't make a sound, but Da Lang seemed a little hesitant, the two rooms were originally firewood rooms but were converted into utility rooms. But looking at his wife's face, Da Lang didn't dare to refute her face to face, and only slowly summed it up after returning to the room tonight, but said curtly: "There... It's good. ”

He Bi looked at everyone's expressions, his heart was clear, and he only bowed his head and said humbly: "Trouble sister-in-law, just build one more bed in the room, Wu You is still weak, and one bed for each of us is not in the way." ”

"Cheng, let them serve the food." Da Lang saw that Hebi's eyes were blue and black, his face was haggard, and he was really tired, just to see his relatives, and hurriedly ordered the food to be served.

After a while, the wine and food arrived.

First served four dishes of cold vegetarian dishes, and then put four dishes of fresh dishes: red roasted pig's trotters, fish-flavored prawns in Quwan Bay, fragrant honey roasted bones, and fatty dry steamed chicken. The second course is a four-bowl side dish: a plate of steamed chicken feet with oysters, thinly sliced boiled pork, tender and smooth mapo tofu, and a small stir-fried pork. The soup is served in a blue and white porcelain bowl, which is an old pigeon soup that is dry and moistens the lungs, fragrant and delicious.

"It's a great joy for my sister to come back today, my brother wants to toast you here, it's been really hard for you to be out all these years." He Dalang poured the wine from the small golden chrysanthemum cup, raised the glass and said to Hebi.

"It's my sister who should give my brother and sister-in-law a cup, my daughter is not filial and can't serve by her mother's side, thanks to my brother and sister-in-law all these years." He Bi hurriedly got up, saluted Da Lang and Lin, poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Wu You frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, just used chopsticks to pick up some refreshing greens and put them in the bowl of Hebi.

He Bi sat down at this time, and He Meiting said coldly: "Eldest sister, who is this boy next to you?" Why are you so unruly, don't you know that men and women don't have the same table at the age of seven, and they use their own chopsticks to pick up dishes for you. "Because she wants to marry into that high-ranking family, the Lin family specially invited a nurturing grandmother today to teach He Meiting the rules, she has long seen that Wu You is not pleasing to the eye, she was robbed of white before, and she lost face, and at this time she grabbed the handle and did not fight back fiercely.

He Bi hadn't yet reacted from He Meiting calling her the eldest sister, and suddenly saw her pointing the finger at Wu You, and her heart was suddenly a little unhappy. "Wu You is my old nephew, and thanks to him accompanying me all the way, I was able to get home so smoothly. Whether he has rules or not, it is up to the parents to have the final say, and I will send him to his aunt in two days. ”

"Don't, Brother Beauty, don't go, there are a lot of fun places in our village!" Unexpectedly, the first person to oppose was the six-year-old Dabao. In order to prevent his young and handsome father from stealing food, his mother's maids in Fulian were all crooked melons and jujubes, and it was rare to have a little beauty of the same age, so he naturally couldn't let her leave.

"Yes, although our village is not rich, but the scenery is quite good, now this season, a large area of golden rice ears spread all over the field, like the sunshine sprinkled into the village, there is a dazzling vitality, some large families of the young lady will come here to go green." Da Lang was complaining in his heart about the little sister's ignorance, and hurriedly spoke up.

Da Lang started his head, and the old lady and the Lin family responded with their voices, and they couldn't resist the enthusiasm of their family, so they only nodded vaguely.

At this time, no one noticed that He Meiting was already angry, her chopsticks didn't move a few times, and her eyes were red. She has been the focus of everyone's attention since she was a child, but at this time, because she was ignored by an outsider, the jealousy in her heart was even more indescribable.

After dinner, Da Lang personally sent He Bi and Wu You to the West Wing room.

"Sister, I'm going to wronged you to live in the guest room tonight, and I'll let your sister-in-law clean up your room tomorrow."

"The eldest brother is polite, we came in a hurry and made my sister-in-law embarrassed. We stayed for a few days and left, so we didn't have to go through the hassle. He Bi didn't care.

"You just slapped me in the face when you said this, this is your family, I am your brother, these things are as they should be." Da Lang said a few more words and left.

Pushing open the door of the room, inside were two simple rooms.

In the corner of the bright room, there is a red lacquered kang table, on which are piled up with some bottles and cans, which looks like a utility room.

Inside was the bedroom, with a pull-out bed, a wooden wardrobe and two round stools, the furniture was half-used and not new, and the air smelled of wood that had been left for a long time.

Wu You pushed open the old and white screen window to let the room breathe.

"Miss, the slave has already boiled the water, if you want to bathe, please go to the next bathroom." The voice of a small maid came from outside the door.

"Okay, thank you." Hebi gave the maid a silver nude, and the little maid left happily.

Wu You has been living in the mountains a few days ago, and there are no bathing conditions, and he is in a hurry these days, and he is embarrassed to speak. Now I don't care about the environment of the bathroom, I only used the soap water and linen bath towel to wash it carefully two or three times, and then washed my hair and wrapped it in a cloth towel.

Hebi was injured, so he just scrubbed it hastily and went back to the room. At this time, he was already lying on the bed and resting with his eyes closed.

"Sister Hebi, have you taken the medicine?" Wu You sat on the edge of the bed and felt that there was only a thin layer of old mattress on the bed, which was very stiff.

"I'm already on my own, don't worry." He Bi opened his eyes and smiled.

The beast's whip struck straight at the front of the wall, but fortunately it didn't hurt its face, but it was an indescribable torture to see its own wounds every day.

"Wine is a hair thing, and today's situation is special, so you can't drink it again until the wound is healed." Wu You thought of that glass of wine, and couldn't help but be a little harsh. Hebi was injured, but the He family's dinner was full of big fish and meat, and the taste was heavy, so Hebi only ate a few bites hastily.

"Yes, yes, I promise." touched Wu You's straight hair, and there was a sense of relief in Hebi's heart that my family had a girl who had just grown up.

"Now that the weather is getting hotter, you have injuries on your body, in case you don't take care of it, it's not good to suppurate, let's stay here for a few more days." Although Wu You wanted to leave early, looking at Hebi's longing expression, she couldn't splash her cold water.

"It's... If you're not used to it...", Kazubi hesitated. Today, Mei Ting's attitude towards Miss, she sees it, although other family members are warmly welcome, but she doesn't want Miss to be wronged a little.

"In a few days, it will be your father's sacrifice day, the son wants to raise but does not wait, you have never returned home since you entered the house, and now the opportunity is rare, you want to worship your father well." Although the family has all kinds of inconsistencies, Da Lang's attitude towards Hebi is a little sincere. The only thing she cares about is Hebi, and the others are just strangers who don't deserve her attention.

As for the poor environment... It's not like they haven't lived in the mountains, and now it's good to have a bed and a room.

He Bi carefully looked at Wu You's expression and found that she really didn't have any grievances on her face. Although the old lady is generous in the house, and the sisters get along very well, the memory of being with my father has never been blurred. If Wu You insists on leaving, she will definitely follow, but she will eventually leave regrets in her heart.

"Let's sleep, I'm really tired of traveling these days." Wu You yawned exaggeratedly, got out of bed and blew out the lights.

He Biqiang's spirit also relaxed, and he quickly fell asleep with a smile.

On the other side, He Dalang and Lin's room was still brightly lit.

"The eldest girl in your family is now an old girl, and she originally pointed out that her owner could match her with a good person, or she would not give her a dowry, but in the end there was nothing. Look at her, she didn't even have a meeting gift for our brother and sister today! I have been in a big family's house, and there are no rules at all. ”

Lin sat in front of the dresser, removing the ornaments on his head and counting them.

"That's it, you see how she dresses up, she is nondescript, she really hasn't kept any decent things, maybe we will have to paste it upside down in the future." If you want her to make a loss-making business, no way!

"She is my sister, she was only eight years old and was sold far away by her teeth, if it weren't for her sale of money, our mother would not be able to live in this situation." He Dalang saw his eldest sister like this, but his heart was full of guilt, all these years I saw her send gold and silver jewelry and silver tickets to her mother, and thought that she was staying well in that house, so he didn't inquire about her for a long time. Looking at it now, it has not been easy for her all these years.

"Anyway, you treat her better, anyway, our family is not bad for that dowry now, and she brought that little boy, take care of it more." He Dalang was rarely more confident.

It's embarrassing to say that it's not bad money, just the soft steamed bun-like temper of him and his mother, and the loser temperament of the sister-in-law, if she hadn't taken a fancy to him back then, she married him to support him in his family, and the He family would have been ruined. "Okay, you He Dalang, don't you have the courage to be fat, dare to talk to me like this, you are looking at me and I am an old Zhuhuang, and you want to raise a small one."

Lin's words fluttered lightly, but He Dalang trembled in fright, and his voice was unconsciously weak: "How can it, don't I just see that Dabao likes that little boy." With such a bearing and appearance, even the sons of the official family can't compare, and if they can make friends, it is also a beautiful thing. ”

"So I said you're short-sighted, and you think it's a good thing for men to be beautiful? Not to mention that his identity is unknown, he still looks like this when he is young, in this world, some men not only like women, but also like men. Lin glanced at He Dalang, and saw that he was still ignorant, and said impatiently: "I won't tell you, my head is like a pimple." In a few days, my nephew and his son-in-law will come to our village to go to our village, and will come to our house to stay overnight, you give me a notice, our Dabao has also reached the age of enlightenment, and those brothers my nephew has made friends with a lot of status, if they can recommend him, he can also find a good master. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." He Dalang replied repeatedly, and when he saw his wife's face improve, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this time, there was also a commotion in the old lady's room.

"Mother, I don't care, you have to marry her off quickly, I have less than a year to get married, and there is such a sister in front of me who is not married, what is it. I'm a serious young grandmother, and I'll be laughed at when the time comes. He Meiting tugged at the old lady's sleeve and said unrelentingly.

"How can you speak, she is your sister, if it wasn't for her... Where did you come from today for a good day. The old lady was suddenly hurt by the little daughter's noisy temples.

"Did she treat me as a sister, didn't you see how tightly she protected that wild baby, and she slapped me in the face in front of so many people." It's okay not to mention Hebi's past, but when she remembered that her own sister was a slave for others, she was ashamed to death.

"Okay, okay, what a wild baby, it was brought by your sister, you said to his face that he had no rules, can your sister not be angry. Go back to sleep, the children should not worry about whether they have to worry about it or not, beware of wrinkling the skin. "This little daughter is really spoiled by her, although she has never seen the world, she also knows that if Sister Ting'er enters the gate of the high house, I am afraid that it will be easy to have an accident.

"I won't go back, I can't sleep, anyway, you have to promise me to marry her far away quickly, and it's better not to come back." He Meiting's temperament is very stubborn, and the old lady and Da Lang have always had soft ears, so as long as she grinds more, things can be done nine times out of ten.

"Okay, okay, tomorrow my wife will call your sister-in-law, find someone to see each other." The old lady was used to going to bed early, but she was so annoyed at this time that she could only relax.

"Mother, my good mother, don't worry, when I marry into the Yuanwaifu, I will definitely honor you." As soon as He Meiting saw that the matter was successful, she immediately raised a sweet and greasy smile. This old lady has been rubbed by her like this for so many years, and she still doesn't understand the old lady's temperament.

"Then I'll go back first, you have to remember what you promised me!" Walking to the door, He Meiting didn't forget to turn around.

"Got it, go ahead, go ahead." The old lady let out a long yawn and waved her hand tiredly.
