Lin Mei glanced at him funny, and said meaningfully: "Although Dabao's surname is Zhang, he is different from his mother's temperament, he has an errand since he has an errand, his fiery temper has been restrained a lot, and he has a lot of backbone, he has not reached out to his family to ask for silver this year, and he also buys us a festival every New Year's Day, he really treats us as a family." If he knew that his wife would use the East Wing for him, he would not have agreed, but we can't ignore the brotherhood over the years. After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder and left on his own.

Shanzi only reacted when she returned to the room, and was told by her, she was talking about her and Luo Sicheng, why did she pull it on her head? Besides, Dabao's surname is Zhang, he should buy another house outside to get married, how could he get married and live in the Lin family. Suddenly beating her chest, the eldest sister was too cunning, and she was not her opponent at all.

In fact, Zhou Ximei really moved the idea of the East Wing, anyway, if Shanzi wants to take the road of official career, he must start from the small county order, in case the old man wants to go with his son. Then won't this house be empty all the time, it is better to cheapen your son and daughter-in-law, and save a sum of money to prepare for the future and family affairs of the second son.

Not to mention, Zhou Ximei, as a mother-in-law, is still very qualified, at least racking her brains for the future of her two sons and her family's affairs.

In the evening, the cold wind howled.

Zhou Ximei lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, in addition to thinking about her eldest brother's family, she also remembered her son Zhang Dabao who had not returned home. remembered that night, she stole the jade pendant and was caught by her eldest daughter, although she didn't say a word, she didn't know if she was planning how to drive herself out of the Lin family. Honestly frightened, it was even more difficult to sleep, and then I couldn't help but think of the eldest son's relatives, although I talked about it with Mrs. Zeng's family, but the stinky boy refused to nod and agree, thinking of this, I can't wait to arrest him back and go directly to the church to get married.

……

Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of the reunion of the Qi family, even Zhang Dabao took a three-day holiday and rushed back early in the morning.

The family was jubilant and full of New Year's flavor, Lin Mei simply let go and let the two sisters help to buy a family banquet, which is also Shanzi mentioned yesterday that the younger sisters have reached the age of talking about marriage, Lin Mei thought that they should also learn to manage their finances.

It's rare to have a day off, plus Lin Hai's marriage has been dragging on because the restaurant business is too hot, and finally the date is set on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the new daughter-in-law enters the door, Lin Mei, as the eldest sister, must be to give a meeting gift, so Lin Mei took Fluttershy and Sixi, and took advantage of Qing Yuanxiang's shop to only open for half a day, and went to make a big purchase.

Qing Yuanxiang is located in the East City, mostly gold and silver jewelry, although it is not a luxurious and valuable thing, it can be better than novelty.

Fluttershy took a pair of butterfly hairpins and gestured to her master's head, smiling, "What do you think, Miss, the ruby on this hairpin is really festive." ”

Sixi disagreed, and picked a twisted gold bracelet and a gold-inlaid jade bracelet, "The Du family lady is always stable, I think it is safer to give the bracelet." ”

"It's all good." As she spoke, Lin Mei picked up a string of coral bracelets and put them on her hand, and looked at it again and again: "How about this?" There is already a dowry list of gold and silver jewelry, it is better to send a handicap, red and festive, and the sleeves on the hand are not too conspicuous. ”

"Then these two bracelets are also good, they are the new style of our store, if you want to buy them, I will give you some discounts." The shopkeeper saw that she had already chosen less jewelry, so he hurriedly recommended it.

"Wrap it up with that pair of butterfly hairpins." To be rich is to be capricious, Lin Mei said boldly.

With silver in her hand, she is not panicked, not to mention that shopping is a woman's nature, Lin Mei did not buy less this time, and she also bought a few pieces of jewelry along with herself, planning to be a dowry in the future.

As soon as I returned home, I saw a horse tied to the stone pier in front of my house.

"Looks like a guest from home?"

At this time? Lin Mei's heart was sudden, but she wrote lightly on her face: "Our family doesn't have any relatives around Luoyang, I'm afraid that I'm here to find the eldest young master, knock on the door." ”

Fluttershy reaches out and is about to knock on the door, squeak~, but the door opens.

Luo Sicheng smiled: "It's better for me, thinking that you should come back too, and I want to go out to greet you." ”

Lin Shan, who was in the back, was dumbfounded when he heard this, this thing was really thick-skinned, it was obvious that his rival in love was coming, and he was not happy, so he wanted to go out for a walk, and he just happened to meet him.

Lin Mei noticed Shanzi's abnormality, but she didn't pick it out, and said with a smile: "There is a horse tied to the stone pier in front, is it a guest of our family?" ”

Suddenly, Shanzi glanced at the others with a wicked smile, saw that his face was stiff, and suddenly felt that it was not bad to have one more competitive opponent, and said with a smile: "It's Brother Dawu who is here, and he has brought a lot of gifts, big sister, let's go into the house." ”

Luo Sicheng stared at her expression carefully, and saw that her face was not shocked, and his heart was cold: Could it be that the goods have never come? Why wasn't she surprised? The unprecedented sense of crisis is cold from the back to the root of the hind feet.

At this time, Lin Mei said lightly: "I'm so tired, go back to the backyard to rest first, and don't go to meet the guests, you two go to accompany the guests, it's almost noon, don't run around." ”

Luo Sicheng heard that a smile bloomed on his face, put his hand on Shanzi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What Meizi said is that we, as hosts, should greet guests well and not run around." ”

Plum?! Is this a change of words? Lin Mei's eyebrows were slightly upturned, but she didn't correct his mistake. took the two puzzled Yahuan back to the room.

In the front hall, Liu Dawu was chatting with Father Lin and Dabao about the daily life in the army, but his eyes were checking the hanging flower door from time to time. A familiar figure flashed by, and his heart was happy, and his voice couldn't help but amplify a little.

But I didn't see the main lord come in for a long time, but it was Lin Shan and Luo Sicheng who came.

"Today is really a coincidence, a good day for the reunion of the Qi family in the Chinese New Year's Eve, but we met in the Lin family, it is really fateful!" You say yes, Captain Liu. Luo Sicheng first focused on the guest when he entered the door, blocking his doubts.

Liu Dawu raised his eyebrows, the person who came was not good, and said: "I'm sorry to correct it, not long ago, the contemptible man was just promoted to the general of the five-rank ranger. ”

Lin Shan looked at his friend's ugly face, and felt a little happy and a little lost in his heart: one was just lifting people, but in front of the general, it was nothing! What kind of advantage does this compare with him, Daddy must be biased towards Liu Dawu. But Luo Sicheng is his friend and brother again, and he is a little uncomfortable being compared to an outsider.

Zhang Dabao smiled on the side: "If General Liu doesn't say it, we don't know yet, there are many happy events today, and we have to have a few drinks in a while." ”

What about the general, may he still be his son-in-law in the future, Father Lin's laughter was even louder, and he said with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, I will order my subordinates to burn more warm wine, and we will not get drunk today." ”

Luo Sicheng ignored it, glanced at Shanzi, and made up his mind, "Uncle Lin, your body is just right, I'll help you go." ”

Shanzi took the opportunity to pester Liu Dawu and asked: "I heard that a few days ago, the Turkic prince was frightened in Chang'an, and he couldn't even get up on the day of the wedding. Is that true? Doesn't it mean that the Turks are strong and strong, and as a prince, how can they be so small and not frightened at all? ”
