Chapter 18: That Year

This kind of thing can't be hidden, and there is no need to hide it, Brother Xu Ying said calmly: "There is such a thing. ”

Mao Shi picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, his beautiful face was half-hidden in the steaming mist, and his tone was light: "Is the day set?" Who were invited? ”

Brother Xu Ying said: "The date has not been set yet, I just said that it will be later, guest, I don't know, if the third aunt wants to know, I can wait for my sister to ask her when she comes." Presumably she'll be here once in the next two days. ”

Mao smiled: "I just asked casually, where did I get to the point of asking about these things?" If I really ask, it's not annoying, I'm afraid that I'll laugh at me again. ”

Her words were not easy to answer, so Brother Xu Ying simply didn't answer, and turned his head to tease Xu Ze: "The fifth brother recited the three-character scripture to me." ”

Xu Xue is a good character, let the back be carried on the back, and after the back is finished, he will look up and coquettish with Brother Xu Ying: "Second sister, I want to eat vegetarian buns." ”

Brother Xu Ying couldn't help but smile and rubbed his yellow hair: "Okay, the second sister will cook whatever you want." ”

Mao Shi hit Xu Ze on the head with a "snap": "You stupid boy, you know how much it is to eat some vegetarian buns every day!" ”

Brother Xu Ying was busy protecting Xu Xue and not allowing her to fight: "The third aunt is going to hit the fifth brother's head, what should I do if I am stupid?" ”

Mao's family wanted Xu Xue to get ahead in the future, and naturally he wouldn't fight anymore when he heard this, so he complained: "It's clumsy to be born, it's the same whether you fight or not." β€”just like his father, Xu Lai. She thought of her husband who couldn't go out because of a leg disease, liked to be quiet and didn't like to socialize, and didn't fight for anything, and she was a little irritable in her heart, but her upbringing was still there, knowing that she couldn't complain in front of others, and she wanted to endure it but couldn't bear it, so she said cryptically: "I don't have hope for this day when I think about it." ”

Brother Xu Ying smiled slightly: "If the third aunt really thinks about this day like this, there is really no hope." The fifth brother will grow up, who can tell his future creation? Although she has never been married, she has experienced a lot of things in her two lives, and she knows what Mao is thinking and complaining about. Her opinion is not the same as Mao's, Xu Lairen is thoughtful, gentle and quiet, sensible and knowledgeable, considerate and kind, and has no quirks and bad habits. Although he is lame, but this family does not need him to do manual work to support the family, Mao Shi or he would not have agreed to this family business earlier, and now that he is married, he regrets complaining about what he does?

Mao's fell silent, Brother Xu Ying waited for a while, didn't see her speak, didn't see her move, even if Xu Ze was sleepy, she just held Xu Ze in her arms and had no intention of leaving. Brother Xu Ying was a little impatient, and couldn't help but turn his face sideways and cover his mouth and yawn gently, Mao's personal girl Minglu quietly poked Mao's when she saw this, and Mao's came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Disturb your nap, don't bother our mother." ”

Brother Xu Ying and Mao's played Tai Chi with each other: "Where will it be, the third aunt is a distinguished guest who can't be invited." "She didn't bother with Xu Zhi, but she was a little annoyed.

"It's time for me to go back, too." Mao still knew how to measure, got up with a smile and handed Xu Xue to Minglu on the side to hug, stroked the folds on his dress, and stroked his sideburns in a charming manner, and said: "I have long heard that the polo game in the General's Mansion is particularly exciting, and your fifth brother has never seen such a big lively scene since he was born." After saying this, he didn't wait for Brother Xu Ying to answer, and brought Minglu and the others to go.

Brother Xu Ying suddenly realized, it turned out that the Mao family was because he only notified Brother Li in the second room yesterday to prepare clothes and wait for the banquet without notifying the third room, so he thought that the general's mansion did not take the third room to heart and was annoyed, so he specially reminded Brother Xu Xing through himself not to forget the third room.

Qingyu and Zi Wei also figured out what the Mao family was here for, and Zi Wei couldn't help but whisper: "The third lady is really ...... hearted" Could it be that the general's mansion just invited the rest of the family to invite her? When did you leave her? I heard that in the early years, their family was also a first-class minister's family in the previous dynasty, how could they be so small.

Brother Xu Ying reprimanded: "Mo Duo is looking for a fight, and he will do everything." "Mao is a strong person, in the early years was a high-ranking noblewoman, the family failed to make a living before he had to marry Xu Lai, first thought that Xu Lai was not as good as people holding back a stomach of resentment, resulting in very sensitive, and then idle and energetic, then think that everything in the big house is pressing her, the more she thinks that the big house is pressing her, the more she thinks that Xu Lai is not angry, the more sensitive she is, often a little thing will cause her a lot of thoughts, and she can't finish thinking about it. It's a vicious circle, and it's self-inflicted.

Desire is endless, when you don't have anything to eat, you want to eat better, when you eat good, you want to eat rare, when you eat rare, you want to eat what you don't have in the legend, and if you can't eat it, there is no point in life. It's better to be leisurely, content and happy, Brother Xu Ying turned over and soon fell asleep.

Her biological clock is very regular, and she automatically opened her eyes after only half an hour of sleep, but she didn't want to get up, so she asked Qingyu lazily on the bed: "Is there any news from Madame?" ”

Qingyu and Zi Hao sat under the window sewing clothes, and said with a smile: "I don't know what news Erniang said?" If you ask the Xiangji Temple, it is not so fast, even if the horse is fast, you have to wait until dark to reply. ”

Brother Xu Ying glanced at her: "Who asked you Xiangji Temple?" I'm asking if anyone is coming to the General's Mansion! ”

When it came to the General's Mansion, the two girls were a little worried, and Zi Wei comforted: "Not yet." I think it was Princess Kang who got up late, or the in-laws and his wife were delayed in an emergency. ”

No news is good news, Xu Yingge thought, slowly got up to wash his face and comb his hair, sat in front of the window and spread out the drawing paper, and sketched the cherry trees full of yellow fruits in the courtyard. However, after a few days, the cherries that had only been slightly yellow earlier were already much larger and much yellower, and even a few traces of delicate red were already showing in the sunny places.

Time is easy to throw people away, red cherries and green plantains. Brother Xu Ying sighed, and suddenly remembered that in the early summer of that year, there was a thirteen-year-old boy sitting on the cherry tree and shaking his legs leisurely, throwing the spit out cherry seeds at her, with a pair of black crystal eyes, and two big white front teeth and a wicked smile: "Brother Ying, Brother Ying, I'm eating cherries, do you see, I eat the flesh of the cherries, and then spit out the seeds of the cherries...... Cherries are sweet...... Give it to me or not? What, don't give? Eat my tummy? You wicked woman, be careful that no one wants it in the future! Oops...... Help me! ”

That year, she was eleven years old, and she had just married him, but he had already learned to flirt with her at a young age, and I don't know how he learned to be so ambiguous. The corners of Brother Xu Ying's lips turned up slightly, and he put down his pen after a moment of silence, walked out and stood under the cherry tree, raised his eyes to look at the yellow and reddened cherries all over the tree, and suddenly wanted to drag the little rascal down from the tree again and beat him again.

Zi Hao didn't hear any movement in the house for a long time, and said casually: "Hey, Erniang hasn't seen any movement for a long time." ”

Qingyu put down the needle and thread and got up to take a look, because she saw Brother Xu Ying standing under the cherry tree looking at the fruit of the tree, the expression on her face seemed to be happy and emotional, and there was a little nostalgia between her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but move in her heart, and stopped Zi Hao, who was about to say hello: "Let her go." But I saw the big girl in Yao's room on the other side, Lu Fei, standing in front of the courtyard with a smile, so she hurriedly greeted her: "Sister Lu Fei is here?" ”

Lu Fei smiled and looked at Brother Xu Ying, who was standing under the tree, and gave a salute: "What are you looking at?" I saw you standing here looking up. ”

Brother Xu Ying smiled playfully: "I'm looking at when the cherries are ripe!" ”

Lu Fei didn't ask any more, and said with a smile: "The General's Mansion sent someone over to say that the eldest lady will come to the house soon, and Madame asked you to come over and wait." ”

Brother Xu Ying hurriedly followed her and asked, "But what news has come from?" ”

Lu Fei said: "At that time, the maid was not in front of the lady, and she didn't know it." He comforted her again: "Erniang, don't worry, it should be okay for the maid to look at the lady's expression when she receives the order." ”

Brother Xu Ying saw the Yao family, and before he could ask questions, he came in and said, "The eldest lady is back." Immediately afterwards, Brother Xu Xing walked in, and after a little greeting, he pulled Yao's to speak: "My mother-in-law is still talking to the princess in King Kang's mansion, I am afraid that you will be in a hurry, so I will come to inform you first." At this time, the fourth master of the palace was already on his way to pick up people, and at most the brothers could return home tomorrow. ”

Yao Shi hurriedly said: "What is Princess Kang's attitude?" Is it getting better? ”

Brother Xu Xing said: "The princess's illness has already improved, and she will just be raised for the next two days." She didn't know about it before, she only knew that someone had found it, and she would have to delay for two days to come back, so when she heard my mother-in-law talk about it, although she was angry, she was quite peaceful, and she didn't say what to do, she just said that she deserved it, and if she fought well, she should let him remember it for a long time. But in the end, it is flesh and blood, and it is distressing to be angry again, and dignity is still needed. When I came out, I heard that Princess Changle was going to visit the princess for her illness at night, and I thought it was for this reason. ”
