Nearly half of the day passed, Ai'er ran back from other mansions to tell me that Mrs. Mu had returned, and Ai'er also told me that Mrs. Mu had coaxed the three wives for a few hours.

I thought to myself that these three wives are really not easy to coax, according to her age, she is about the same age as Mrs. Mu, and she is busy with things in her own house on weekdays, and it is difficult for her to talk so much together.

When Bai Yan came first, he brought me some fresh fruit, and I wanted to bring it to Mrs. Mu, but I was afraid that I would make the same mistake as Bai Qingrui. After thinking about it left and right, he told Ai'er to go out with two boxes of rice cakes.

Bai Qingrui was playing in the hall with Xuanxuan, and when he saw me from afar, he both went out of the hall to the courtyard to greet me, smiling.

Xuan Xuan ran to me, pulled the corner of my shirt and asked me, "Sir, did you keep the New Year last night?" ”

I patted his little shoulder and said with a smile, "Chinese New Year's Eve, this is a custom, of course it must be observed."

Xuan Xue asked me again, "Sir, is it true that my niece said that keeping the year can lead to a long life?"

I sighed, Xuan's niece's call was very smooth, but it sounded weird, not only me, Bai Qingrui on the side glared at Xuanxuan, and said, "Don't scream at my niece all day long, my niece's scream, I sound so awkward, you are nine years younger than me, okay." After finishing the way, he flicked his finger on the door of Xuanxuan's brain.

Xuan Xuan refuted without reluctance, "What if you are younger, I am higher than you, you still have to call me uncle, come, call uncle quickly." Xuan Xue learned the appearance of an adult, holding the little arm of the meat dundun, and the toes were a little on the ground, quite like an elder.

In such a situation, Bai Qingrui said that it was not reasonable, and it was not reasonable to say that it was unreasonable, so she had to make a grimace at Xuanxuan, and then ran behind me and used me as a shield.

Mrs. Mu came out of the hall at some point and looked at me, although there was a faint smile on her face, it was very unnatural.

Xuan Xuan hurriedly ran forward and took Mrs. Mu's hand and shook it, and then pointed to Bai Qingrui behind me, and said, "Sister-in-law, you see, Qingrui has no respect for the elder, I am her elder, let her call me uncle, she doesn't call."

Mrs. Mu smiled and said to Bai Qingrui, "What if you shout, Qingrui, come out quickly."

Bai Qingrui was still hiding behind me, poked out half of her head, and said, "A-Niang, you just have to get used to Xuanxuan, I'm your daughter, I don't want it." After finishing the road, he ran away directly from behind me, and Xuan Zhi chased after him, shouting "Don't run, call uncle".

I was quite happy to be made of such a fuss by one big and one small, until I couldn't see Qingrui and Xuanxuan anymore, Mrs. Mu turned her head, raised her hand at me, and we entered the hall together.

Liu Er, the maidservant beside Mrs. Mu, came out of the inner room with a pot of brewed tea, smiled at me, and handed Mrs. Mu and me a cup of tea each. Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "It's rare that you have the heart, you came to see me on the first day of the new year, and I heard that Mama Xiao said that Ai'er came several times and asked me if I had come back, but you don't have to care too much."

I know that Mrs. Mu was wronged by Mrs. Mu early in the morning, and it was all because of me. At this time, it is superfluous to say anything, and no one can change the established facts.

What I thought in my heart was that I was sorry for Mrs. Mu, and I said "I'm sorry" as soon as I opened my mouth.

Mrs. Mu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, touched my head with her hand, and said to me lovingly, "Silly boy, what do you say about the New Year, what is there to apologize for, I didn't do anything."

My eyes were warm, I held Mrs. Mu's outstretched hand, and said, "I know that the third lady complained in front of Mrs. because of me, embarrassing Mrs."

Mrs. Mu said softly, "The third wife has this temper, of course I know her, let her send out the resentment in her heart, and it will be fine in two days, this third wife is a knife mouth and tofu heart, don't go to your heart."

When I thought of the seventeen young people who were going to Mobei in two months, I felt sad, and finally I couldn't hold back my tears, and said earnestly, "Seventeen young people are really stupid, isn't marriage child's play."

Mrs. Mu looked towards the courtyard, sighed lightly and comforted me, "Seventeen, this child is the same as his mother, he is a knife mouth and tofu heart, he looks unforgiving, but he actually has a good heart, none of us thought that he would do this, and it is not necessary to say that he will be blessed by misfortune, and he looks at his long round head and round brain."

I said, "I hope so."

Bai Qingrui walked out of the inner room and interjected, "Uncle Seventeen is married to the three Turkic princesses, it is said that these three princesses are the hearts and minds of the Khan, if Uncle Seventeen really goes to Mobei, not only will he not suffer hardship, but he will also be cherished, love the house and Wu, do you understand, I dare to conclude that my seventeenth uncle will definitely live better than other uncles in the future."

Mrs. Mu said happily, "I love to hear this."

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Mu pointed to the pastries and fruits on the table and said to me, "Although it is not rare, after all, it is the Chinese New Year, since you have come to eat as many as you want."

I picked a few longans, and Mrs. Mu grabbed me another handful of melon seeds. Looking at the fruit in front of me, some of them were cracked and lost moisture, and at first glance, it was not a new fruit that had just been put on the market. I asked, "Why didn't Madame buy new fruit this year?"

Mrs. Mu said, "I can't eat all the new fruits I buy during the Chinese New Year every year, so I didn't buy another one this year, and we don't like to eat them."

Bai Qingrui was not happy, and complained on the side, "Who doesn't like to eat, you and Daddy only care about Xuanxuan, he doesn't buy what he doesn't eat, why didn't he ask me, I love to eat."

Mrs. Mu glanced at Bai Qingrui, pointed at Qingrui and said to me, "Look at her, if you are half sensible, I will rest assured."

I hurriedly played the round and said, "Qingrui is still young."

The corners of Mrs. Mu's mouth twitched, and she said, "It's not small anymore, her sisters are already married like her." Looking at Qingrui, the corners of Mrs. Mu's mouth smiled crookedly, and she pointed at Qingrui and said, "You, don't always rely on your mother's family, I will marry you out at this time next year, and save me from worrying in front of me."

Bai Qingrui's heart was straightforward and fast-talking, her mind was not bent, and she threw herself on my shoulder as soon as she spoke, and said with a smile, "If you want to marry, Mr. Su will marry first, and I will follow."

My face was stunned, showing an embarrassed smile, remembering the fresh fruit that Bai Yanleng brought me in the morning, and said to Bai Qingrui behind me, "Don't you want to eat fresh fruit, go, go to my place to eat."

Bai Qingrui took my hand and said again and again, "Okay, good."

Mrs. Mu looked at Qingrui and me with a faint smile, and stopped talking, shouting "Qingrui" and "sir".

Bai Qingrui replied, "Ah Niang, I'll talk about it later, my husband and I will go first."

Bai Xiaoqiu sat on a chair in the courtyard, set up a small round table, with a teacup and a pot of tea brewed on it, crossed Erlang's legs, drank tea by himself, and saw me, Qingrui and Ai'er standing at the gate of the courtyard, smiled at us, and said, "I'm back."

Ai'er exclaimed, "Twelve Shao, you're here." Seeing Bai Xiaoqiu holding a teacup in her hand, Ai'er walked a few steps to the small round table, picked up the teapot and said, "Twelve Shao, I'll go make a pot for you to heat it up."

Bai Qingrui couldn't help but say, "Uncle Twelve, you think this is your own home, the host is no more, the guests greet themselves and make tea, which is not polite at all."

I said in my heart, he has never been polite to me, what can I do, who told me to indulge him, no matter what I do here, I don't have the slightest opinion, let him do anything, he likes it, he can do whatever he wants, as if it should be like that.

Why this is so, I can't tell why.

Bai Xiaoqiu smiled at Qingrui and said, "Sister-in-law is right, Qingrui should get married."

Bai Qingrui stomped her foot angrily and shouted, "Twelfth Uncle."

I smiled at Qingrui and muttered a few words in her ear, and Qingrui immediately smiled and nodded at me.

Instructed Ai'er to wash the new fruit and take it out and put it on the table, Bai Qingrui hurriedly took the reddest and largest bunch of grapes, looked at the tea on the table, and picked up one of the cups of tea to drink, but was stopped by Bai Xiaoqiu, he said, "There is no teacup for you here, you have to drink it yourself and go into the house to get it."

Bai Qingrui glared and said, "Uncle Twelve is really stingy, can't I drink it if I don't drink it?" As I was leaving, I took out a bunch of grapes from the plate and handed it to her, saying, "Bring some to Xuan Xuan to eat."

Bai Qingrui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring it myself, but whether or not I can eat it depends on his creation." Then he winked at me, and I smiled at her, but I couldn't do anything about her.

The expression on Bai Xiaoqiu's face was indescribably weird, as if he was smiling but not laughing, as if he was angry but not angry, and his eyes were staring at the fruit on the plate, looking thoughtful.

I looked at him, and he looked at me, and raised his eyebrows for me to sit down.

After staring at the fruit for a long time, he picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "Well, it's good, it's fresh and sweet, it's delicious."

I smiled and said, "Eat more than 12 if you don't eat, take it if you don't eat enough, there are more in the house."

Bai Xiaoqiu didn't look at me, ate another one, took a sip of tea, and said, "The fifth brother is stingy, don't say such a fresh and tender fruit, I'll bring some to the fourth brother, and I'll send it all to you."

I cautiously glanced at Bai Xiaoqiu, speculating what he meant, I don't know if he was angry, how could he know that this was given to me by Bai Yanleng, it's really strange.

Seeing me pondering on the side, Bai Xiaoqiu showed a faint smile on his face, and said, "You must be curious how I knew that this was brought by the fifth brother."

I looked at him and continued to wonder if he was happy or unhappy at this time, why I cared so much about his feelings, afraid that he would be angry.

After a while, he asked me softly, "Did you keep vigil after you came back last night?" ”

I nodded, and mumbled.

He smiled and said, "After I came back, I also kept vigil until dawn, looking at the distant night sky, I also made a wish." He looked at me after the sermon, his eyes unblinking.

I would love to ask him what he had wished, and did he have me in his wish? But I didn't dare to ask, I was afraid that I would be sad and disappointed when I knew, how could he think of me.

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the wish of the twelve young people will definitely come true."

Bai Xiaoqiu's eyes flickered, and he sighed, "How do you know what my wish is."

I also smiled and said, "As we all know, in the hearts of the twelve young people, except for the young lady, they are Jun'er, as long as they are good, everything is fine."

Bai Xiaoqiu didn't speak, staring at me with a pair of eyes, trying to see something else from my face, but I just smiled, kept smiling, acting very ordinary, not caring at all, the clouds were light and light.

I twisted my head to the side and stopped looking at him, afraid that he would be able to see through my mind with one more look.

He said, "I do hope that they are well, as long as they are well, I will not have so many worries, but I also hope that you are doing well." After speaking, he took out a small red box from his sleeve and said to me, "It's the New Year, there is nothing to give, just send it, it's cold and windy, you must use it."

When Bai Xiaoqiu left my yard, he walked to the door and said to me, "I hope this one I sent is more effective than the fourteenth brother's golden sore cream."

Returning to the house nestled by the fire, while looking at the small red box in his hand, while thinking about Bai Xiaoqiu's words when he left, I was thinking, the golden sore cream that Fourteen Shao gave me, I have been very careful to collect it, and when Ai'er asked, I only told her that it was given by Mrs. Mu. Where did Bai Xiaoqiu know, in front of him, I am as transparent as a piece of paper, and if I sprinkle a little ink, I will be seen clearly by him.
