++++++++++++++++++ the demarcation line of Luoyang (XI) (middle).

After nearly a month of busyness, everything was finally settled. They planned to spend a few days in Luoyang and then return to Xianyang. On this day, Xinjie took all his subordinates on vacation, and took Lian'er to invite Ah Zhi to his Yuehuaxuan in Luoyang for dinner, thanking him for his care this month.

"It's nothing, you came to live with me to save face, so that it seems that we are brothers. But if you really treat me as a brother, you don't count this meal, you should treat me to a big drink. ”

"What's that for?" Xinjie didn't speak, and Lian'er asked strangely.

"You guy, don't pretend to be confused, and say that everyone is brothers, such a good thing, and pretend not to tell me? ”

Xinjie's face was a little red: "Can't such a good wine and food stop your mouth?" When the time comes, I'll invite you. ”

"Haven't you arrived yet?" Ah Zhi looked at Lian'er a little stupidly.

Only then did Lian'er realize that the two of them were talking about her, which made her embarrassed.

"Have you any news about that kid from He Liangwei lately?" Xinjie hurriedly changed the topic.

"No, it's been a long time since he's lettered. I used to write to me a lot, but I haven't heard from me lately. ”

"This kid has been running to our Zhuangzi a lot lately, but he's not looking for me."

"Oh, that's looking for a crescent moon?"

"You know everything?"

"I guess, the last time you were in Xianyang, I thought he was interested in the new moon."

"You're pretty good. ”

"That's, or maybe you cherished it in the first place. You still won't thank me? "Speaking of which, I went back in circles. Xinjie sometimes thinks that Ah Zhi is a very smart person, far smarter than he looks.

When he returned to the backyard of Ah Zhi's mansion at night, everyone else was asleep, and Xinjie forced Lian'er into his room. For the past month, the two have not had the opportunity to be alone together. Although Lian'er was in the way of Liu's mother and felt bad, she couldn't bear to refuse him, so she let him go. Lian'er originally planned to go back to her and Liu's mother's room after she was done, but after many fish and water loves, she was really tired, and she remembered the feeling of being in Xinjie's arms, so she stayed there and didn't move, and as a result, An'er, who came in with washing water the next day and waited, was startled.

Liu's mother deliberately went to bed early. The day before, when Lian'er was changing her clothes before going out, she went out to do something else, and when she came back, she heard Xinjie inside, so she didn't go in to disturb her. She heard Lian'er let him go, lest Mother Liu go in and meet him badly, Xinjie yelled helplessly. Liu's mother also felt strange and pitiful, and she had to separate the two of them. She didn't quite understand why Mrs. Donald insisted on not letting them be together when they were outside, perhaps for fear that they would be too obsessed with the wrong thing. They originally planned to return to Zhuangzi in a few days at most on the basis of Xintian's treatment, but they didn't know that a delay would be more than a month, and many of them were full of dangers, so that Xinjie and Lian'er had to be careful with their spirits, and they had to send someone back to Xianyang to ask their grandmother and Tang Lan in the middle, they were so busy day and night that they had the energy to think about anything else.

This was the first major event that Xinjie and Lian'er worked together to deal with, and it was a complete success. So this night, Xinjie and Lian'er were in a very good mood, and with Ah Zhi, a friend for many years, the three of them were very interested. When they returned to the courtyard, they were still talking and laughing, and in front of this old friend who knew the roots, Xinjie also unabashedly hugged Lian'er all the way. made Ah Zhi look very envious, and teased them many times. Mother Liu heard them come in, and she blew out the light early and pretended to sleep, leaving a step for the master. She had excellent hearing, and she could hear most of the movements of the two of them next door. At that time, the old lady had just married to Tangmen, and when she returned to her parents' house for the first time to visit, she met Liu's mother's father on the way and beat her original partner for the newly found little wife. After the old lady rescued them, Liu's mother's mother took her to Xianyang with the old lady, and never returned to Jiangnan again. In the old lady's place, although she is a master and servant, the old lady has always regarded her as the daughter of the old man, and has never regarded her as a simple subordinate, and the old lady also taught her some kung fu as a self-defense. She has worked hard since she was a child, and among the subordinates, Liu's mother and Sister-in-law Lin's martial arts are good. Liu's mother also likes the old lady and her family, especially Xinjie, who is like her juniors in her eyes. From the bottom of her heart, she cherishes them too. That night, she planned to take matters into her own hands and not disturb them.

But after An'er saw herself lying on Xinjie's bed, Lian'er felt very ashamed, Xinjie had to be patient after this for her to feel better, but he found that he had never been so eager to be alone as he is now, so he decided to go back to Xianyang early and return to his yard. There, at least in the dead of night, he was able to possess Lian'er in its entirety. He was now very nostalgic for the quiet time they had together after their passion, he could slowly caress her and talk to her, and they always had endless topics to talk about, and each time it was either an opportunity that triggered them to act again, or they talked endlessly until Lian'er wanted to force him to stop sleeping, and then he obediently didn't say anything, slowly touched her body and fell asleep quietly. He didn't know what other couples were like, but from what he knew, they were far happier than other so-called couples, and he wanted to have that happiness for a long time.

On this day, he was preparing to take Lian'er to buy some gifts for the Tang family after breakfast, and then prepared to pack his luggage and return to Xianyang tomorrow, when someone from the prefect's mansion came in to report that there was a Mrs. Zhu outside who asked to see him. As soon as I heard this name, I felt that this Mrs. Ju was ignorant, this was a relative who came to her husband's house, and actually reported herself to Mrs. Zhu. Xinjie wanted to block it directly, but Lian'er reminded him that out of Baihuatang, it was his second aunt's sister-in-law, and if she didn't look at herself, how could she give her second uncle and aunt some face. Over the years, Tang Wei has been in the army all the year round, and the people of the Tang family are very respectful and tolerant of people and things related to Tang Wei. Slapping Mrs. Zhu's face too much will make the second uncle and aunt lose face. In impatience, Xinjie had to ask Mrs. Zhu to come in.

After coming in, I found that there was really Mrs. Zhu, not just Mrs. Ju and Fangyan, but the real old lady of the Zhu family, Mrs. Ju's mother. Looking at a face similar to that of Mrs. Ju, but she was older, Xinjie couldn't help frowning, how did this second aunt's family find her in-laws. The second aunt has always been an enlightened person, and if she wants to come to her brother, how could she choose such a stingy person. But he could only complain in his heart, and he had to be polite on the surface: "I don't know what the old lady is looking for the younger generation?" ”

"You also know that you are a junior, and juniors should understand the etiquette of juniors. You came to Luoyang City, and you didn't know if you wanted to come to pay a salute to the old man? ”

"Mrs. Zhu, maybe the younger generation didn't come to visit first, maybe the etiquette is not good, but the younger generation also has concerns, the younger generation is just the nephew of my second aunt, you are the mother of the second aunt and sister-in-law, and Mr. Zhu has also passed away, is it too presumptuous for the younger generation to introduce a man to the door? And the younger generation came to Luoyang this time on the order of his grandmother, and he had affairs in his body, logically speaking, he should have no distractions, do important things first, and rush back to Xianyang to resume his life, so as not to worry about the elderly. Where can I visit relatives and friends. So please forgive the old lady. Tang still has affairs to deal with today, if the old lady has nothing else to do, then the junior will send someone to send you back to the house first, and the old lady will not be left behind. ”

Some words blocked Mrs. Zhu's anger: "Good, good, good, worthy of Chen Biyan's grandson." Back then, your grandmother was so good, and now this grandson is the same. I'm not going to say anything else to you, but I'm here today for my daughter. Ah Ju has been married for 20 years, and has worked hard in Gannan Road with your Tang family army for eight years, but she didn't make any good money, but she lost her husband and came back. I thought that the Tang Sect was benevolent and righteous, and I went to your Baihuatang to teach, not to mention the hard work, but also to see the face of the third young master, so that she was faceless in public. This is your Tang family's way of protecting the orphans of soldiers? Is this your attitude towards the people who work for you? ”

"If the old lady wants to settle her widowed daughter, she can discuss it with my second aunt. The younger generation obeys the orders of the elders in the family. If it is for the sake of the teaching and learning of Baihuatang, the younger generation can only take the liberty of saying, My Baihuatang's affairs naturally have the internal rules of Baihuatang. The chief steward of Baihuatang and several stewards are not allowed to disturb their subordinates when they are deliberating, which makes sense everywhere. It's like your Zhu family's wine shop, is it possible that when the shopkeeper and the owner are talking, the master on the wine cellar can come and interject? ”

"My Ju'er and Baihuatang are just giving the Tang family face, and by the way, I will help you teach those Jingwei. After so many years of hard work without merit, you don't appreciate it, and you dare to talk about things according to the rules, which is too unkind. ”

"Old lady, there are rules in every family. There are no rules, there is no circle, the Zhu family has the rules of the Zhu family, and the Baihuatang also has the rules of the Baihuatang. In the Baihuatang, no matter how close or close you are, you need to follow the rules of the hall, which is the rule set by my grandmother at the beginning of the opening of the hall. If you want to talk about human feelings, you can only do it outside Baihuatang. If Mrs. Ju feels that the rules of Baihuatang are not to her liking, or that she feels uncomfortable living in Baihuatang, Tang suggests that you consider changing places. Baihuatang is more likely to accommodate those women and children orphans who have lost their homes and are unemployed, which is not comparable to a large family like the Zhu family. ”

"Brother Jie, are you trying to drive us away?" Fang Yan never spoke when she came in, after all, her grandmother had taught her before she came in, and this kind of occasion was not suitable for her to speak.

"I'm just stating the facts. Miss Fangyan is my second aunt's niece, and the Zhu family is a well-known family in Luoyang, whether it is in her mother-in-law's house or back to the Zhu family, she will have a good life, why follow everyone to live hard in Baihuatang? What's more, Fangyan is also in tune, Baihuatang is a group of women and children, and it is not convenient for Mrs. Ju to talk about marriage for Fangyan, looking at each other, it is better to go home, with the lintel of the Li family and the Zhu family, this Luoyang City has a lot of talented people can be screened, it is better than stumbling in a remote bamboo garden. Choosing a good family for Fang Yan in Luoyang City should be the most important thing for Mrs. Ju. ”

At this time, Mrs. Zhu also felt that it was the donkey who kicked her head, so she arranged for her widowed daughter to go to Baihuatang. At the beginning, she thought that with the status of the Zhu family in Luoyang, the dowry in the hands of Mrs. Ju and the property given by her husband's family, it would be easy to remarry. But Mrs. Ju thought like a demon, and she had to stay in the Tang family's sphere of influence, saying that it was for Fang Yan to have the opportunity to marry a man from the Tang family in the future. It's good to look at this man of the Tang family now, but people don't mean that to Fang Yan, he is holding the shelf of his elders, and he can't just sell his granddaughter to him. But it's all here, and it's not Mrs. Zhu's style of doing things if you don't achieve your goal.
