In the blink of an eye, it is the first month, and it is a new year, but because of all the things in the lunar month last year, it does not make people feel very new.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Huaiyang Hou Mansion family went to the British Mansion, after all kinds of etiquette, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhao met with the two in-laws, and their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law talked together, while the juniors played freely.

To be precise, Xie Xiaoyu sat alone in the pavilion, staring at an empty Go board in a daze, while the two cousins were chatting with Zhao Nan'er while playing double land in the warm pavilion.

"Big sister doesn't like to talk more now than in the past." Xie Xiaoxi threw the dice, one two and one three, staring at the chessboard and pondering how to move.

Zhao Nan'er, who played against her, was not very good at playing Shuanglu, Xie Xiaohuan sat beside her, helped her guide, and smiled when she heard this:

"There was just such a big event, my sister is careful, and she must think about it for a few days."

Xie Xiaoxi moved the chess pieces, sighed, and asked Zhao Nan'er:

"Sister Nan'er, when my sister was at home these two days, she was like this?"

Zhao Nan'er held the dice in both hands, chanted words as if praying, and after throwing them, she saw that the dice kept turning, and nodded: "However, my aunt and uncle don't dare to talk to my sister very much." ”

The dice stopped, one four and one six, which was exactly the point that Zhao Nan'er wanted, and she immediately clapped her hands excitedly, but accidentally pulled the injury on her arm, and sighed.

"Sister, let's save it," Xie Xiaohuan hurriedly held her down, "I'm injured." But to go these two? She asked with a smile, pointing to the pieces on the board.

Zhao Nan'er covered her arms, nodded, and smiled silly, very cute.

are all average-sized daughters, Zhao Nan'er and them are already good, they also like Zhao Nan'er's character, and the Xie family is already a small number of women, this year even the sisters in the next room are following their families in the field, and they can't come back, so they feel more deserted, with Zhao Nan'er who loves to talk and laugh together, the Xie family is naturally happy.

Xie Xiaohuan finished walking for Zhao Nan'er, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that this year would be ......."

Before she could finish her sentence, she hid it.

In the end, it is the New Year, and some words are unlucky.

"What are the little girls playing?" Suddenly, Xie Shoushan's voice sounded.

The three girls hurriedly looked up, saw Xie Shoushan and the four men walking in, and hurriedly got up and saluted:

"Sixth Uncle An, eldest brother An, second brother An, third brother An, fourth brother An." Xie Xiaoxi was quick to speak, and he spoke faster than the other two girls.

The four men other than Xie Shoushan are Xie Rongsheng, Xie Rongan, Xie Rongping and Xie Rongping, the only son of the fourth master Xie Qingshan, and Xie Xiaohuan's brother Xie Rongtan, among which Xie Rongtan is one year younger than Xie Xiaoyu, and his birthday is sixteen days younger than Zhao Nan'er.

Several men were amused by her, shook their heads and said:

"Why bother? Wouldn't it be enough to just say the brothers? Xie Rongqin said.

"That's not done, it's disrespectful." Xie Xiaoxi said repeatedly, "Disrespectful." ”

Xie Shoushan glanced at the chessboard and said, "Yo, look at the Zhao family's niece and daughter is going to win?" ”

Zhao Nan'er smiled: "I'm not very good at backgammon, and my two younger sisters teach me to play." ”

"It's a good teacher, and my sister learns fast." Xie Xiaoxi said hurriedly.

Xie Shoushan said helplessly: "You, let's be alive." He said, glancing around, "What about your big sister?" ”

"In the pavilion over there." Xie Xiaohuan pointed to a viewing pavilion on the other side of the lake and said.

Xie Rongan has been afraid of the cold since he was a child, and after entering the warm pavilion, he sat by the stove to warm up, and said when he saw this: "It's a cold day, why did the eldest sister sit there?" Can there be a fire? ”

The whole family knows Xie Xiaoyu's character, so naturally no one will ask why their sisters don't accompany them.

"It's all ready." Xie Xiaoxi said.

Xie Shoushan groaned for a moment and said, "You guys can play here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

"Yes."

……

Xie Shoushan crossed the bridge, and Bi Tao and Red Peach saw it in the pavilion, and hurriedly bent his knees and said, "Sixth old man." ”

Xie Xiaoyu, who was staring at the chessboard, raised his head and got up hurriedly, Xie Shoushan made a gesture for her to sit down, and said, "Sitting so dry, I will get cold again." ”

Xie Xiaoyu hooked the corners of her lips and shook her head to indicate that it was okay.

There are three stoves around this pavilion, and I still have one in my arms, where can it be cold?

Xie Shoushan sat opposite her, raised his hand to the chessboard, and said, "Come on, come on, you and I will talk about a game." ”

Xie Xiaoyu didn't speak, but only raised his hand and put it on the chessboard.

The uncle and nephew faced an empty chessboard, you came and went, and after a stick of incense, Xie Shoushan waved his hand: "I lost, you girl, I don't know how to let some elders." ”

Xie Xiaoyu smiled rarely, stroked it on the chessboard, and pointed to it again, signaling to do it again.

Xie Shoushan also excused himself, followed a few more moves, and suddenly said, "Yu'er, you don't need to feel that this matter is your fault." ”

Xie Xiaoyu paused slightly, his eyes did not take off the chessboard, but the speed of his move was slightly slower.

"Not to mention what will happen to the rebellion, the Fourth Highness uses such a transaction as a guise to collect money is true, and it is also true that he is a prince who has such a close relationship with an internal official. Even if you don't turn it out now, it will eventually be turned out in the future, and now it's just a matter of rushing in one place, so Yu'er doesn't think that you have brought trouble to the family. ”

During Xie Shoushan's words, he had already made a few moves on the chessboard with Xie Xiaoyu, and he was still not chaotic.

Xie Xiaoyu finally raised his head, looked at Xie Shoushan facing the chessboard, pinched his chin and thought, and said:

"Thank you, Uncle Six."

When Xie Shoushan heard this, he laughed instead.

"What is this girl thanking me for? But Uncle Six, I should thank you for giving me a chance and fulfilling my vow. ”

Xie Xiaoyu didn't understand, and after a little more on the chessboard, he looked at Xie Shoushan curiously.

"There is a woman named Quan Niang in the drunken red mansion, don't mention the name and surname of her family," Xie Shoushan said with a smile, "Her family was originally a famous jade merchant on the Silk Road in the west. The jade pendant you asked Meng Liangcai to take to deceive Ning Honglu happened to be her father's last work. ”

Xie Xiaoyu didn't expect that there would be such a section in the matter, and he was also stunned.

That jade pendant was once given to her by Xie Shoushan, but she didn't want to go around and around, and it was all for such a reason.

"When she gave me the jade pendant, she said that the sixth master still remembers the joke back then? I accepted it, and I didn't forget the old vow," Xie Shoushan looked at the chessboard, and didn't take that step for a long time, "But the drunken red mansion is not an ordinary place, and the people who harm people are not ordinary people, I always have to take care of a lot." So I should thank Yu'er for letting Uncle Six be a man, and I didn't break my promise after all. ”
