"Isn't that it?" Zhou's face was full of sadness. "If he can be forced, who cares if he wants it or not? Maybe I'd have married him seven or eight and put them in the house. ”

"That ......" Mrs. Qiao changed her mind and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't blame me for being too talkative, like the son of the world, if you really marry him and put him in the house, he won't come back at all, it will be useless." ”

Zhou sighed: "Why not?"

Mrs. Qiao thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's as good as this, there is always a gap between us and the child's words, why don't we wait for the prince to come back, and let Rong'er enlighten him?" It's always easier for young people to communicate with each other than we do. ”

"Rong'er?" Zhou looked at Ye Rong, Ye Rong's face was flushed and coquettish. She nodded and said happily, "Your proposal is good, Yan'er wants to come back tomorrow, and let his brother and sister talk about it then?" ”

"Sister-in-law, then it's decided?"

"Of course."

The two sisters-in-law talked for a while. Ye Rong was secretly happy next to her, and she really couldn't wait to see her eldest cousin right away.

However, the next day, she was disappointed, because Josyan did not return at all.

Mrs. Qiao comforted her: "Your eldest cousin may be busy in the yamen, don't worry, he will definitely come back after eating Shou noodles at night."

"Okay!"

On the second day, many relatives came to the Guogong Mansion one after another, most of the sisters who married outside Qiao's Mansion returned to their parents' homes with their children to celebrate Guogong's birthday, and the Guogong Mansion suddenly became lively. Ye Rong played with these cousins all day long, and she had a great time.

On the evening of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, according to the rules, all the masters and servants of the house, regardless of men, women and children, must eat longevity noodles. All the people crowded into the flower hall, all together, very lively.

Outside the palace gate, a tall and mighty white horse galloped over.

"Phew—" The man on the horse grabbed the reins, jumped off his horse, and turned around. Two big red lanterns shone on his face at the entrance of the house, but when he saw that his face was like a crown of jade and his eyes were like stars, it was the handsome and elegant Qiao Siyan.

A young man in Tsing Yi ran forward and said in surprise: "The prince? You're back? The lord and the lady were still chattering just now...... Come in, the family is waiting for the master to come back and eat longevity noodles. ”

"yes, got it!" Josyan handed him the reins in his hand and stepped into the main hall. Walk through the main hall and into the backyard.

Although it was late, the entire Guogong Mansion was brightly lit, as if it were day. The backyard is very deep, and it is full of corridors and rows of wings. In the corridor aisle, from time to time, servants and maids wandered around, and when they saw him, they all bowed and said, "The prince is back?" I don't know how many turns he turned, but when he finally came to the deepest part of the backyard, he could already faintly hear laughter.

Turning the hallway, passing through the second gate, I immediately entered the flower hall.

The atmosphere in the flower hall was very lively. The dragon had risen in the room, and it was very warm. The room was full of beads and greenery, and the daughter-in-law sat in a room full of flowers. Grandpa Guo and his wife Zhou were sitting on the top, looking at it with a smile.

Before he stepped forward, a maid had already stepped forward to report.

"The prince is back."

Zhou looked up and said happily: "Yan'er?"

Mrs. Qiao smiled slightly, stepped forward quickly, and knelt in front of the second elder.

"The child has seen his father and his mother."

"Ouch, get up, why are you still on your knees? Don't you know that the ground is cold? ”

Zhou pulled him up one after another, sat beside him, rubbed his delicate face, and his eyes involuntarily turned red.

"Good boy, let my mother take a good look at you."

Grandpa Guo looked at this only sister-in-law, there have only been a handful of meetings in the past six months, and when he thought of meeting this time and didn't know when he would be able to meet, he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes.

Josyan's nose was also a little sour, and he felt guilty in his heart, he was really ashamed of his father and mother for so many years...... He coughed and smiled reluctantly: "Dad, mother, you should be happy when the child comes back, why are you still ......?"

Zhou wiped his eyes and said with a smile: "The words are right, I lost my temper for my mother......" He turned his eyes and pointed to the hall, and said with a smile, "Haven't you seen your aunts and cousins yet?"

"Yes!"

Qiao Siyan got up at this time, but before he could pass, a group of beauties had already come over, and they all replied shyly: "I've seen my eldest cousin!"

Qiao Siyan looked up and couldn't help but be stunned. I saw that his eyes were full of beads and green, and he was dazzled, where could he tell who was who?

A beautiful woman squeezed forward, took his hand, and said coquettishly: "Big cousin, sister is Lian'er, don't you remember?"

"Lotus...... Lian'er? Can't remember ......."

"Big cousin, I ......"

Before the beautiful woman could speak, she was pushed aside.

"Big cousin, I'm Huan'er, Huan'er from Taizhou, you should remember, right?"

Joss said, "I ......"

"Big cousin, big cousin, I'm Mengyun from Jiangnan, do you remember?"

Joss said: ......

"Big cousin!"

"Big cousin!"

……

Ye Rong was almost angry, she couldn't squeeze in at all, even if she could, could the eldest cousin remember who she was?

"......" At this time, Qiao Siyan only felt his brain buzzing, as if countless crows flew overhead. He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at his father, but saw that the two were exchanging glances with each other. He immediately understood. Is he being ...... Sold it?

Joss subconsciously wanted to escape, he didn't want to stay here for a moment...... However, when he looked up and saw his father's gray hair, he softened, so he had to sigh and sit down helplessly.

As soon as the longevity noodles ran out, Qiao Siyan ran out of the flower hall like a fledgling person. No, he had to go outside to breathe, or he would suffocate to death.

Standing outside the flower hall, Qiao Siyan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Most of the flowers in the yard were blooming, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers entered his nose, and at this moment, he felt that he was alive again.

"Big cousin......" At this time, a delicate voice sounded behind him.

He was startled and looked back. I saw a beautiful girl in an apricot yellow dress standing under the flower tree in the moonlight.

He couldn't help but laugh. It must have been one of his many cousins.

He smiled politely at her. "Finished eating the noodles?"

His smile seemed to be demagogic, and the girl was so stunned that she didn't hear anything from him.

Qiao Siyan shook his head and said lightly: "You can play by yourself, I have to leave beforehand......"

"Big cousin!" The girl hurriedly called out to him.

Joss paused, but he didn't look back. "What's wrong?"

After a while, the girl said timidly: "Sister is ...... It's Ye Rong from Kaizhou, does my eldest cousin remember me? ”

Kaizhou Ye Rong? She also has the surname Ye? Josyan turned around slowly, staring at her for a moment. The girl had a round face, slender eyes, and a shy expression. And what about her, with a melon seed face, a pair of bright apricot eyes, and a radiant look, where is there such a shy demeanor?
