would always make such a big bowl of noodles, which was also covered with meat, and two eggs under the noodles, and said to him with a smile: "The dumplings on the car and the noodles on the car, eat more!" ”

In the blink of an eye, Yang Zongbao buried his head in picking up a noodle with chopsticks, and took a bite, a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar, it was the taste of home.

Maybe he was really hungry, so Yang Zongbao ate two large bowls of noodles with the spicy and spicy mountain mushroom meat sauce, and even drank the soup before putting down his chopsticks.

After eating and drinking, Yang Zongbao motioned to Mrs. Zhang and Mei Xiaotong to follow him into the house.

After entering the house, Mrs. Zhang and Mei Xiaotong found that the dozen or so cages that were originally neatly placed were all neatly opened, the small ones were placed on the kang, and the large ones were placed on the ground.

There are gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and all kinds of food in the chest, which make people's eyes dazzled.

Yang Zongbao picked out two boxes with jewelry heads and handed them to Mrs. Zhang and Mei Xiaotong.

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to take it, looking at the golden swaying, it was worth a lot of money.

If you want to say that Yang Zongbao is a cheap brother, Mrs. Zhang really didn't want to take advantage of anything, when she first recognized it, how downtrodden Yang Zongbao should be, she didn't dislike it.

Yang Zongbao suddenly gave such a valuable gift with such a large amount of money, and Mrs. Zhang's first reaction was: "Brother, where did you get these old things?" Didn't do anything that shouldn't be done, did you? Between our sisters and brothers, although they are not biological, my sister really treats you as my own brother, there is no need for the family to be so polite, come back to this is your home, where can you buy these things! ”、

"It's a lot of money, isn't it? Your sister and your niece and son-in-law don't want anything from you, what are you doing with this unjust money? ”

"Hurry up, pack up these things and see if you can return them to others. Even if you have a few dollars in your hand, you can't mess around like this, right? You are also a big boss now, and you haven't started a family yet, so if you have this money, it's not good for a daughter-in-law to start a family in the future? ”

"Your sister and my niece, are we the ones who like those? Hurry up—" As he spoke, he was about to put the lid on the cage himself.

Yang Zongbao hurriedly stopped Mrs. Zhang while gesturing.

To the effect that this is a gift he specially brought to Mrs. Zhang and Mei Xiaotong, and he went out these days to deal with some things left over from the past.

Over the years, he has been rolling in the rivers and lakes, and he has made some contacts, at the beginning he was loose in his hands, and after revenge, he only felt that life was boring, and he couldn't save money, and sometimes he rescued nobles, gave rewards, and heard people say that he bought a Zhuangzi or a shop, and spent the money when he changed hands.

There are also those who were rescued by him, and when they saw that he could not save the money, he did not give him the money, but only said that he would give him dividends or other things.

Over the years, there have actually been a lot of careful calculations, but when he returned to Jing County, his heart was like ashes, and he didn't bother to care about everything.

But now he has a sister, a niece and a niece and son-in-law, relatives and a family, and those who didn't care about it before

West, you have to take it back.

Yang Zongbao went this time, and most of the dividends he should have gotten back, as well as the shops and Zhuangzi's land deeds.

When his friends heard that Yang Zongbao had now found his family, they saw that he also had concerns, and they were not the same as before, so they were naturally happy for him, inquired about the situation of his family, and specially prepared gifts.

These are the gifts given by Yang Zongbao's friends.

Not only Mrs. Zhang and Mei Xiaotong have, I heard that An Huahao, a cheap nephew and son-in-law, is a showman, and he only has a box of him, such as inkstones, brushes, ink blocks, etc.

When Mrs. Zhang heard that it was not Yang Zongbao's money, she was relieved first, but immediately said: "That's not good, people gave you such a gift, don't you want to return the gift?" ”

And when Yang Zongbao has been outside for many years, he doesn't know the sophistication of people, and he pulls Yang Zongbao to give him these people's favors carefully, where is there anything to accept from others in vain? Surely you have to return the favor?

Yang Zongbao had to sit honestly on the side and listen to Mrs. Zhang's nagging.

There was no impatience between the eyebrows and eyes, but it became softer and softer.

He is like a mirror in his heart, this is his sister for his good, and he really treats him as his own brother, so he doesn't see the outside like this, and thinks about him from the bottom of her heart.

If it is someone else, who cares if he is rude or not Yang Zongbao?

In a trance, it seemed that he had returned to the time when the family had not changed much, and his mother also pulled him like this, nagging and talking endlessly.

But when I was young, I only felt that my mother was troublesome, and at this moment, I sounded like I understood the meaning of this nagging.

No matter how Mrs. Zhang chattered, Yang Zongbao listened with a smile, but he did not agree to return it, and only let Mrs. Zhang accept it.

I was in a hurry, so I asked Mrs. Zhang if she didn't treat him as her brother, and her brother brought some gifts back to his sister and niece, why didn't he accept it? Do you treat him as an outsider?

Mrs. Zhang was rarely blocked and had nothing to say, so she was so angry that she shook her hand and picked up the box and left, and said cruelly before leaving: "Okay!" I've said it all in vain! Since you like to give, I will take as much as I will give in the future, and I won't say a word! What should I do when the time comes to see that you have emptied all your family resources? ”

Hearing this, Yang Zongbao nodded again and again, took out two land deeds from his arms, and gave them to Mrs. Zhang.

When I opened it, it was the title deed of a small village in the state capital, and the title deed of the two small courtyards in the Qingzhou mansion.

Yang Zongbao also gestured, this is his belongings, and they are all handed over to Mrs. Zhang for safekeeping.

Mrs. Zhang is angry and funny, and her heart is sour, this cheap brother has suffered these crimes, but his heart is still the same as at the beginning, and he remembers every little goodness in his heart.

This character, if she doesn't look at it, if she encounters those bad intentions in the future, I'm afraid that this bit of belongings will be lost again.

At the moment, you are not polite, and put the title deed carefully in the box and put it away: "I will keep these for you, and I will hand them over to your daughter-in-law when you get married in the future!" lest thou lose them all. ”

Yang Zong

Bao didn't refute, and saw that Mrs. Zhang accepted it, and then showed a smile.

In the end, Yang Zongbao also rushed for several days, ate and drank enough, and relaxed again, and people showed tiredness.

Mrs. Zhang and Mei Xiaotong also let him rest and retreated.

When she arrived in Mrs. Zhang's room, Mrs. Zhang put the box in her hand on the kang and sighed: "Zhu'er, your uncle has suffered too much in this life, and he is solid-eyed. ”

Mei Xiaotong knew that Yang Zongbao had been wandering in the rivers and lakes for so many years, if he was really the same Yang Zongbao who was sincere and defenseless to people before, he was afraid that the grass on the grave would be taller.

It's just that Yang Zongbao really treats their family as relatives, so he can't wait to give them all he has, the best.

It's also an indescribable feeling in my heart.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Mrs. Zhang spoke first: "Zhu'er, your uncle gave you this thing today, we can't ask for it!" It's just that don't be afraid that your uncle will be too careful, these things are all placed here by my mother, and I will collect them for him first. Your uncle said that he will not be very old in the coming years, and when he figures it out in a few days, he will have to start a family again. Not to mention that there is a man and half woman who is filial to him, there must always be a person who knows cold and hot around him! ”

"When the time comes, these things, the title deeds, will be collected by his future daughter-in-law, and he will be able to live a good life, and my heart will be settled." When Mrs. Zhang said this, she felt a little sorry for her daughter.

After all, these things were given to his daughter by Yang Zongbao, and he decided so much, for fear that his daughter would not think about it.

It's not that I think the girl's eyelids are shallow, and she can't bear these things, but in this gift of the girl, she just glanced at it, it is a set of gold and ruby head and a set of silver skein, and I don't know how to do it, it is delicate and good-looking, and it is very suitable for a girl of her own age.

Those who want to choose this gift are also thoughtful.

This set of heads, if your own daughter wears it, she will definitely be the most beautiful girl in the entire Jing County.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, but returned the box to Mei Xiaotong: "Forget it, this is your uncle's heart, you can take it!" It's a big deal, and then my mother will make up for your uncle's money. “

After speaking, because it was still in the filial piety period, the gold could not be worn, so he picked the head of the silver skein and carefully took it out, "Try it, let my mother also take a look——"

Mei Xiaotong still didn't understand Mrs. Zhang's thoughts, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother, this is my uncle's heart, let's just rest assured." You can rest assured, if your uncle gets married in the future, your daughter and son-in-law will naturally prepare a generous gift, and you will definitely not let your uncle suffer, so you can put one hundred and twenty hearts! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was still hesitating, she couldn't help but pretend to complain again: "Now that my mother has an uncle, even my own daughter has been put in the back of her mind, and she is only planning for her uncle, alas."

～～”

Mrs. Zhang took a sip of Mei Xiaotong and poked Mei Xiaotong's forehead, Mei Xiaotong hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm again and was coquettish, only to coax Mrs. Zhang to smile before she stopped.

Outside the courtyard, Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Wu and Gu Yu were preparing dinner for the evening in the stove house. Anyway, you have to get a decent table.

Since Mrs. Ding came to the Song family, she has always been cooking home-cooked meals, and now she listens to the old lady's instructions, so she naturally has to show all her skills.

Wu Pozi and Gu Yu both helped.

"Sister-in-law Ding, did you see it first, the dozen or so cages brought by our uncle can be sunk! I don't know what's inside? I used to say that our old lady was from the countryside and didn't have any real relatives, but I didn't think this uncle was dressed like an ordinary person. Later, the tongue-chewing people outside saw it, and saw what else they had to say! ”

Mrs. Ding danced with two kitchen knives in her hands, and she didn't raise her head: "The affairs of the master's family, how do we know about the current people." I advise you to inquire less, and don't talk about it outside! ”

Mrs. Wu called out: "I'm just talking a lot in front of the two of you, and outside, I don't say a word." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Gu Yu: "Gu Yu girl, you said yes, right?" ”

Gu Yuzheng lowered her head and didn't know what to think, and when she was pushed by Mrs. Wu, the vegetables she was washing in her hand fell into the basin, splashing and waking her up: "Ah? ”

looked at Mrs. Wu in confusion.

Mrs. Wu looked at Gu Yu's face splashed with water, the front of her clothes were wet, and she looked confused, "Gu Yu, what are you thinking?" ”

Gu Yu gritted his teeth and whispered, "I...... Why do I think that uncle is a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere? ”

Mrs. Wu didn't take it seriously, and patted Gu Yu on the shoulder: "That must be the uncle who looks good, that's why you think you've seen it somewhere." Alright, go back to the house and change your clothes, don't catch a cold-"

pushed Gu Yu out.

Gu Yu came out of the stove house, passed by Yang Zongbao's house, and couldn't help but look at it twice, but he didn't think about it, so he shook his head and walked away.

Let's say that An Huahao's side, when he and Gu Zikai and a few classmates arrived at the restaurant, some people came one after another, most of them were students of the college.

Of course, the heavier the portion, the later it will come.

As this evening was nominally a celebratory feast, three tables were set up in the hall for the students of the three colleges to be seated.

The students of Dongshan Academy had already arrived, and when they saw An Huahao and them coming in, they all stood up and bowed.

The people from Baiyun Academy also came, but Zhang Hu and his brothers did not come, so it seemed that the table in Baiyun Academy was empty.

Among them, several students of Baiyun Academy saw An Huahao and them come in, and seemed to want to stand up, but were pulled by their classmates.

For a while, Dongshan and Evergreen Academy greeted each other, and it became more and more apparent

Baiyun Academy was deserted.

Because the tables of Evergreen Academy and Dongshan Academy were closer to each other, as soon as they sat down, students from Dongshan Academy came over: "All the eyes of their Baiyun Academy are on their foreheads, and when our academy came, we greeted them, and they ignored them." Don't look at it, it's just a third place, what's there to be proud of! ”

An Huahao nodded, and didn't say much, what he remembered at the moment was that Yang Zongbao didn't know if he was home.

Gu Zikai saw that An Huahao was a little absent-minded, so he hurriedly picked up the topic, which also saved the students of Dongshan College from embarrassment.

Gradually, everyone arrived, and when it was dark, Lu Wenguang accompanied Governor Chen, Zhu Haoran, and Imperial Doctor Du and their party to the restaurant.

Their location was naturally upstairs, but Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran were in the hall first, said a few words of encouragement and praise, and gave the students of the three academies a glass of wine before Shi Shiran went upstairs.

The wine and food are all ready, everyone has toasted An Huahao, An Huahao refused one by one, he is still in the filial piety period, naturally he can't drink, only say that tea instead of wine.

Everyone doesn't mind, as long as the mind arrives.

It was the students of Baiyun Academy who were talking sour words in a weird way.

But the students of Evergreen Academy and Dongshan Academy had aspirations together, but they all pretended not to hear it, and no one paid attention to them at all.

The students of Baiyun Academy are not bored with themselves.

After three rounds of drinking, the students in the hall, although they were not drunk, they all had a little bit of alcohol.

Only An Huahao is extremely sober.

Because most of the meat on the dinner table was meaty, An Huahao didn't dare to eat indiscriminately, so he only ate two bites of side dishes casually, and he didn't move his chopsticks.

Counting the time, it was estimated that it was almost over, An Huahao drank tasteless tea, and wondered what to eat when he went back.

I saw a servant come down and walked straight to An Huahao: "Song Xiucai, our lordship please go up." ”

An Huahao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put down the wine glass and got up: "Yes." ”

Although Gu Zikai on the side was also a little drunk, his mind was still sober, he grabbed An Huahao, and whispered: "Be careful!" ”

An Huahao and Gu Zikai exchanged a look, and followed the servant upstairs as if nothing had happened.

Other students looked at An Huahao's back enviously: "In this dragon boat competition, Brother Song stood out and entered the eyes of adults in the capital." ”

Gu Zikai snorted coldly, these people only saw that An Huahao seemed to be in the eyes of the big people, but they didn't know that behind the scenery, there were many crises.

An Huahao followed upstairs, but there was nothing else, but Imperial Doctor Du thought that An Huahao was still guarding filial piety, and most of the people at this table couldn't eat.

Originally, he instructed the servants to go to the kitchen to get some vegetarian snacks for An Huahao alone, so as to pad his stomach, but Zhu Haoran happened to hear it, and when his mind moved, he asked someone to call An Huahao

Come.

Although Imperial Physician Du didn't quite understand, he had been in the palace for many years, and he could know the smell by smelling the wind, and naturally he also felt that Zhu Haoran didn't like a little bit of An Huahao's special attention.

I don't know what the reason is, but after a long groan, I agreed. He wanted to see, what the hell did Zhu Haoran want to do?

An Huahao came up and gave everyone a salute first.

Chen Xun waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, sit down!" ”

Imperial Physician Du glanced at An Huahao, motioned for him to sit beside him, and immediately someone brought clean dishes and chopsticks.

Two more plates of steaming vegetarian snacks were placed in front of him.

An Huahao knew that this was a piece of Imperial Physician Du's heart, and after thanking Imperial Physician Du, he just ate two pieces to cushion his stomach.

I didn't know what everyone was talking about before, but seeing that An Huahao stopped his chopsticks after eating only two pieces, Zhu Haoran smiled and turned the wine glass in his hand: "Listen to Du Lao, your home is from Shiqiao Town, Jing County?" ”

Although it was a homely look, An Huahao didn't dare to take it lightly, and only nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhu Haoran seemed to casually ask some common words, such as how old to go to school? Who's under whom?

An Huahao asked Zhu Haoran to answer whatever he asked, but he definitely didn't say a word or explain anything.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Haoran's attitude is too gentle, and he chats with a little showman without any shelf.

I didn't know if I was nervous or what, so I asked a bunch of questions, and only then did I answer two or three words, and I refused to say one more word.

Hearing who he was studying and hearing Xu You's name, Zhu Haoran and Governor Chen's eyes showed a gleam.
