On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the Sheng family gathered in Yuanyang Pavilion.

This year, Sheng Changhou was in a very good mood, and Brother Cheng'er's laughter was particularly loud, and the third master, Sheng Xiumu, also put away his recent hesitation, and talked about the interesting things outside with a spring breeze on his face.

His words were quite funny, at first everyone secretly looked at Sheng Changhou's face and didn't dare to laugh, but found that Sheng Changhou smiled a little bit on his eyebrows, and even scolded the third master with a smile: "...... You're listening!"

Then he personally supplemented the interesting anecdotes that the third master heard.

When he said it, everyone didn't dare not laugh, and then the third master answered, and everyone laughed.

Not only the third master, but even Sheng Xiuyi and the second master Sheng Xiuhai were forced to say several jokes for everyone to make fun of. The second master, Sheng Xiuhai, still couldn't let go of his hands and feet in front of Sheng Changhou, and was a little cowering, so the third master coaxed: "The second brother said this, we have heard it a long time ago, and we will punish the second brother with three cups!" ”

Mrs. Sheng knew that Sheng Changhou didn't like the second master the most, and when she was reminded by the third master, maybe Sheng Changhou would scold the second master a few words.

By then, the good atmosphere was gone.

She was busy giving the third master a look, and then looked at Sheng Changhou.

I saw that the corners of Sheng Changhou's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said lightly: "Since you know how to distinguish between good and bad, it is better for you to be an officer." Whoever says something bad will be punished. ”

These words were said to the third master, Sheng Xiumu.

The crowd was shocked again. No one thought that Sheng Changhou would speak like this.

In their memory, Sheng Changhou never exaggerated the atmosphere, he would only make the family unhappy. In the past, he was a little moody, and sometimes he didn't say the right thing, and he immediately started scolding.

It's really different now.

Is it because of Brother Cheng in his arms?

Brother Cheng may be a little tired, yawning from time to time in Sheng Changhou's arms. Mother Joe, the nurse, wanted to hug him, and he immediately started crying.

Marquis Sheng Chang only let him hold him in his arms.

The third master listened to Sheng Changhou's words and was equally stunned. But looking at Sheng Changhou's face, it didn't seem like he was talking back, and he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be a commander." It's better to bring out the peach blossom brew sent from Huainan Zhuangzi in the spring of the previous year, and whoever says it badly will be punished for drinking? ”

The Sheng family has many Zhuangzi in Anhui.

Huainan is famous for its peach blossom brewing. The steward of Zhuangzi is the best at dealing with people. He promised that he didn't need to make money from the wine party, and he also gave away a lot of expensive things, so he got the secret recipe of the best local winery, and made peach blossom brew and sent it every year.

The rain of the previous year was a coincidence. The ingredients are rare for decades, and thirty jars are brewed.

Sheng Changhou also loves wine, after tasting it, he feels that the wine is already the best quality, but it is impossible to find, so he let people store it in the cellar, and only move out to drink it when there is a major happy event.

Two altars were moved out during the Chinese New Year last year. The third master has always said that it is delicious. But Sheng Changhou's things, he didn't dare to make up his mind, that is, he just looked at Mrs. Sheng's storage room by chance.

Seeing Sheng Changhou today is an unusually good mood. The third master didn't know when his father would be in such a mood next time, so he immediately decided to ask for the wine.

Mrs. Sheng secretly gave him a look, so that he would not annoy Sheng Changhou.

Sheng Xiuyi and the second master Sheng Xiuyi watched the excitement from the sidelines.

They also tasted the taste of the wine, but they did not dare to ask for it openly. Now that the third master has spoken, their brothers also want to get wet.

Sheng Changhou glanced at the third master, hesitated for a moment before saying, "No." Next year you marry a daughter-in-law, and I'm going to use it for hospitality. I drank it now, and there was no good wine then. What kind of treat will you get? ”

"Stay in the third master and marry a daughter-in-law to drink ......" the second grandmother couldn't help laughing, "Third master, you are patient, you can drink it in March next year." ”

The others laughed along.

Mrs. Sheng also joked to the third master: "Don't mess around, your father is far-sighted." It's a serious thing for you to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

The third master suddenly became uncomfortable, coughing and changing the topic.

The crowd laughed again.

If the time were rewind half a year ago, no one in the Sheng family would dare to imagine that Sheng Changhou would actually make fun of the third master, and no one would have thought that he would be able to joke with Sheng Changhou tonight.

Dong Ying also laughed. Her gaze. From time to time, it falls on Brother Cheng. He snuggled in the arms of the Marquis of Shengchang, opened his eyes for a while, closed his eyes for a while, and looked like a sleepy person, trying to control himself from falling asleep.

He still shook his head slightly, as if to sober himself up.

See this scene. Dong Yu was like his own delusion. With such a small child, why should he control his drowsiness? Don't children sleep whenever they want?

Brother Cheng also saw his mother through everyone.

He cracked his mouth and smiled at Dongyu.

Dongyu's heart softened all of a sudden.

This kid is truly amazing.

Then he rolled his eyes again and laughed. Dong Ying followed his gaze and saw Sheng Xiuyi's eldest son, Sheng Lehao, looking at Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng found Sheng Lehao looking at him, so he smiled at him.

Sheng Lehao froze for a moment before retracting his gaze.

Then, the third master forced everyone to say interesting things, and Dongyu's attention was also taken away from the children.

The two girls who can sit together, Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui seem to have discovered the difference between Brother Cheng. The two looked at Brother Cheng and pointed to each other.

Mrs. Sheng noticed it, so she asked Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui: "Sister Yun, Sister Hui, what are you looking at?" ”

Everyone's attention shifted to Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui sisters.

Sheng Leyun was not used to everyone's gaze, her face was slightly red, she pointed at Brother Cheng and blurted out, "Brother Cheng...... Brother Cheng, he's sleepy, he's ...... He didn't sleep......"

The two sisters also saw Cheng's abnormality.

Brother Cheng narrowed his eyes, as if he was denying Sheng Leyun's words, proving to everyone that he was not sleepy at all.

Dongyu, who has been paying attention to Brother Cheng'er, has a sigh in his heart.

Her premonition for Brother Cheng became stronger and stronger.

But the way he stared was very cute.

Mrs. Sheng is so rare: "Look, Brother Cheng is in good spirits." Who said that our brother Cheng should fall asleep? ”

As soon as Mrs. Sheng's words fell, Brother Cheng couldn't help but yawn, and he didn't give Mrs. Sheng face. Mrs. Sheng thought it was amusing and laughed.

Dongyu is also ridiculous. She stepped forward and hugged Brother Cheng'er: "Dad, Brother Cheng has always slept a lot, but I'm afraid I'm really sleepy." The daughter-in-law carried him to rest. ”

Sheng Changhou frowned slightly, a little reluctant to Brother Cheng, and annoyed that Dongyu came to have a child at this time, how uninteresting it was.

Dong Ying deliberately ignored his displeasure and stood still.

Sheng Changhou had to give Brother Cheng to Dongyi.

Dong Yu held the child. Went to the warm pavilion.

The nurse Qiao's mother fed him, and he actually fell asleep while drinking the milk.

Sure enough, what I saw just now was not Dongyu's illusion.

Dongyu wanted to ask the nurse a few words about Brother Cheng'er, but she thought that everyone in the Sheng family was still outside to keep the New Year. didn't say anything anymore, told the nurse to take good care of Brother Cheng'er and went out.

The family sat together, talking and laughing with each other, and the time soon came.

The second and third masters instructed the stewards to prepare the fireworks.

Sheng Changhou said: "Let's go to Linbo Tower to see." It's even better to look at the high terrain there. ”

Seeing that Sheng Changhou was so interested, it was too late for the family to be happy, where would they refute it? Everyone was busy.

Dong Yu instructed the maids to go to Linbo Tower first to hang up the warm curtains. Spread a blanket. These things are ready in winter, and they are easy to use.

By the time everyone in the Xue family moved to Linbo Tower, the maids and daughters had already made Linbo Building comfortable and warm.

Sheng Changhou went in first, and Mrs. Sheng led Dongyu, the second grandmother and the children in. And the Sheng Xiuyi brothers went out to set off fireworks one after another.

Looking at Sheng Le Hao, who was obediently following behind Dong Yuan, Sheng Xiuyi paused and shouted to him: "Brother Hao, don't you go to set off fireworks with your father?" ”

Sheng Le Hao couldn't help but look at him.

He was about to nod his head as if he remembered something. He looked back at Sheng Changhou.

Sheng Changhou also heard Sheng Xiuyi's words, turned his head to look at Sheng Lehao, and immediately showed an expression of disgust. This expression. Lian Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui saw clearly, the two little girls who were originally chattering were silent in an instant.

Dong Yu didn't speak either.

Although she was grateful that she had married into the Sheng family so that she didn't have to enter the palace, she didn't think about how powerful she would play in Sheng Xiuyi's previous marriage.

Sheng Xiuyi's children, she will do her duty to take care of them. As for the deep mother's love and filial piety, she doesn't yearn for it very much.

She's always afraid of overdoing it. If she starts to take care of the grievances between Sheng Changhou and Sheng Lehao, she may end up with a bad impression in Sheng Lehao's heart.

In that case, she took a step back and didn't get involved.

Mrs. Sheng saw that Sheng Changhou's face changed suddenly, and she couldn't help but be alarmed. Hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to pull Sheng Le Hao: "Brother Hao and your father, second uncle, and third uncle will set off fireworks." ”

Grandmother spoke, and Sheng Le Hao Gong said yes.

But in his eyes, a little frustration appeared. Sheng Changhou's attitude is indeed very hurtful.

Sheng Changhou seems to have disliked Sheng Lehao in the past. When I heard that Sheng Le Hao moved to the outer courtyard at a young age, he was stealing. Dong Ying felt at that time that it was instructed by the Marquis of Sheng Chang.

Just because Sheng Lehao's mother is a member of the Chen family?

Isn't there another reason for this?

Toyu though wondered. But she wouldn't ask Sheng Xiuyi, because she didn't need to know. Sheng Xiuyi is very good to her and Brother Cheng, and that's enough. No matter how he treats Sheng Le Hao, Dong Ying will not be jealous, let alone fight with Sheng Le Hao. Her marriage is enough for Brother Cheng to have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Sheng Lehao is a son-in-law, and Brother Cheng is also a son-in-law.

Although Brother Cheng was born to the stepfamily, he may be weaker than Sheng Le Hao, who was born to the original partner. But his mother clan is the famous Zhenxian Marquis Mansion; His biological mother, although she is a stepfamily, is the lord of the county with a title, and she does not need to kneel and kowtow to the original tablet. These are far stronger than Sheng Le Hao, whose mother family was raided.

Dongying and Brother Cheng don't need to compete with Shengle Hao, whether it is family business or fame, what Dongying gives Brother Cheng is enough.

Sheng Lehao is not the enemy of Dongyi's mother and son.

Therefore, the grievances between Sheng Le Hao and Sheng Changhou do not need to be known.

The men went to help set off the fireworks.

In a moment, the sky bloomed beautifully, dyeing the blue sky magnificently.

And the good atmosphere just now, after Sheng Changhou's attitude towards Sheng Lehao, disappeared without a trace. The crowd began to hold their breath again.

The Chinese New Year's Eve vigil has finally come to an end. (To be continued)
