Chapter 3 Homecoming

As he spoke, he heard a voice in front of him, "Eldest sister, second sister!" ”

Xu Lan's scalp tingled when she heard this, this really can't be said badly behind people in broad daylight, this is not the person who appeared in front of him immediately.

Xu Xin and Princess Xu saw Xu Lan like a mouse seeing a cat, very funny.

"But the Fourth Young Master is here!" Princess Xu asked the people outside.

I only heard a steady voice, "Mother, Zhen'er came here to pick you and your sisters home." ”

When Princess Xu heard this, she hurriedly opened the window, and said very happily, "It's really my brother, you kid has a heart." ”

Although Xu Zhen is only ten years old, he is already a teenager, and he follows King Xu when he is young. Riding a horse is already in shape, he is sitting on a maroon red horse, and he is very graceful.

"My father heard that his mother had entered Beijing early in the morning, and he ordered his son to come, and he had been looking forward to the family reunion for a long time." Xu Zhen said very seriously, and while he replied, he took out a ray of afterglow to look at a tassel hairpin that emerged from the other corner.

The tassels of the hairpin were strung with red beads, and he couldn't think of anyone else except his red-loving sister. The eldest sister has always been dignified, where would it be like that girl to give people a headache.

When Princess Xu heard her husband, her eyes couldn't help but show a soft light. "Look at you all over the snow, such a heavy snow is still riding a horse outside, carefully sick. Hurry in and warm up in the carriage, our family is talking, and we haven't seen each other for half a year. ”

Xu Zhen heard this and happily agreed.

After Xu Lan saw Xu Zhen get into the car, she kept shrinking in the corner.

Xu Xin was amused when she saw that she was talking to her younger brother while paying attention to the changes in Xu Lan in the corner.

"Big sister."

Xu Xin nodded, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year this year, but I've grown a lot, and I look like an adult." ”

Xu Zhen usually looks old in front of outsiders, and to be honest, he is just a child, but at this time he showed a little smile. "The eldest sister and mother have been in the south, and the father has always been thinking about it. It's just that I was summoned by the emperor early this morning, so I didn't come to pick up my eldest sister and mother. It's just that I didn't receive the news early that my mother was going to the outskirts of Beijing, why couldn't I wait at home, so I simply came out to see if there was something delayed on the way. ”

Xu Xin mentioned that she met the old lady of Song Guogong on the road, "On the way, I met the family members of Song Guogong's mansion, and their carriage broke down on the road, so it was delayed for a lot of time. ”

"That's the case, no wonder I've been waiting in the mansion for a long time and haven't waited for news from you entering the city." Xu Zhen suddenly realized.

Princess Xu asked the maidservant to hand a cup of hot tea to the concubine, "Drink it to warm up, there are no good things when you go out, so it's better to be particular at home." But this tea was brought from the south, and your father loved it. ”

"But rejuvenation tea?" Xu Zhen tasted it.

"I'm also worried that your father won't be used to drinking tea in Beijing, so I specially asked Steward Hu to pack up some tea leaves and bring them over." Princess Xu nodded.

"Let my mother worry, everything is fine with my father, but I miss my mother and sister in my heart." Xu Zhen said.

"It shouldn't be Mu Xiu today!" Princess Xu asked.

Xu Zhen sat precariously, as if he was sitting in the school, "Today, because my mother entered the city, my master specially granted a day off." ”

Princess Xu nodded, she was always satisfied with this concubine. Concubine Chen was cautious when she was alive and respected her as a princess very much. Otherwise, Princess Xu would not have let her conceive this child, but this Concubine Chen was a little blessed, and she would die after giving birth to two children.

It's also to blame that her stomach is not angry, and her body bones are getting worse and worse after giving birth to her second child. The third son died young, and the male in this house was the only one left in front of him. So for this concubine, Princess Xu also spent a lot of effort.

Xu Lan listened to this unlucky younger brother, a mother and sister, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. Anyway, she crawled out of her belly, and I didn't see him spoil her on weekdays.

"Brother Zhen, you're too bad. Just looking to say hello in front of my mother and sister, it was like I didn't see my sister in my eyes. Xu Lan pouted and said very carefully.

"Ouch, it's all delicious." Xu Xinjiao said with a smile.

"Sister, you still laugh at me, you see that my sister is almost no longer in my brother's eyes!" Xu Lan's small eyes squinted at Xu Zhen with an unhappy look.

Xu Zhen looked at her small appearance, and her head was full of pain. If it weren't for the fact that this person was his own sister, he wouldn't have wanted to deal with this person. "Second sister!"

Xu Lan pretended to nod like an old man, looking like she was still done.

Xu Xin laughed uncontrollably beside her, and fell into the maid's arms with laughter.

Princess Xu couldn't help but laugh and shook her head helplessly.

"Princess, it's already at the second gate." Steward Hu's voice came from outside.

The Xu Wangfu, which had been deserted for a long time, suddenly became lively because of the arrival of the hostess. It's like water dripping from the oil, and it explodes with a "pop".

Later, when King Xu came back, it would be even more lively.

Xu Wangsheng looked dignified, wearing a purple court robe. I'm afraid that as soon as I received the news, I hurried over, and I didn't even have time to change my regular clothes.

"Lord Wang." Princess Xu was the first to stand up, and there was a moment of emotion in her eyes, but she took it back after a while.

King Xu smiled heartily, "I haven't seen you this year, Sister Xin and Sister Lan have grown a lot taller." ”

Xu Xin and Xu Lan hurriedly came over to greet the ceremony, and then the family sat together lively.

Today's reunion, because it is a family, there is no emphasis on these false courtesies.

"It's been a hard day!" King Xu held his wife's hand and said.

Princess Xu, who is used to being dignified, can stand this, and hurriedly retracts her hand. "I haven't seen the prince for more than half a year, but I have reduced a lot."

"Mother, it's not too early, let the people below set the meal!" Xu Xin said when she saw this.

King Xu hurriedly spoke, "Let's set the table, this is a rare time for our family to get together for a meal this year." ”

At night, King Xu and Princess Xu lay on the same bed and talked privately for a while.

"I don't know what the prince thinks of Sister Xin's marriage?" Princess Xu asked.

King Xu groaned for a while, the little daughter who was still under his knees in front of him, it was time to choose a husband at this time. "It's up to the princess, I'm a rough person, and I want the princess to worry about it."
