Shen Yeling smiled politely, Xu Ruliang gave this red envelope, and when there were only four red envelopes left in his hand, the last young man to ask for a red envelope in front of him was only Zhang Shangzhi.

Zhang Shangzhi ran forward and didn't bow, just arching his legs and kneeling on the ground. Everyone who had not made such a big gift was stupid, Shen Yeling straightened up, and even Xu Ruliang beside him wanted to step forward to help him.

But Zhang Shangzhi was kneeling with a smile in the corners of his eyes. Because of each long opening, his eyes are narrowed into a slit, and his mouth shows a few teeth, which has changed his usual fiery temper and lives like a cute mascot: "I wish the master and his wife many sons and blessings, and a full house of children and grandchildren."

He praised the two of them in one sentence, Xu Manwei smiled and didn't answer, Shen Yeling personally took the red envelope from Xu Ruliang and handed it to Zhang Shangzhi, and said gently: "Second uncle is enough to have you."

Zhang Shangzhi accepted the red envelope and thanked him and retreated, Shen Yeling turned his head and glanced at Xu Ruliang, smiled and said with a smile: "You take one of the red envelopes, and give him one when the stone comes back."

Xu Ruliang nodded, took the stone and his red envelope together, and then held up the last one: "Master, why do you prepare an extra red envelope every year, you can rest assured that Ruliang will not lose the red envelope if he holds it steadily."

Shen Yeling took a sip of tea lightly and moistened his throat: "It's not too much to prepare, this year's last one can be regarded as being able to give it to someone", he said that Xu Ruliang picked up the only remaining red envelope in his hand, he prepared one more red envelope every year, and helped her keep one every year.

The next day, Xu Man went to Aunt Huang next door to learn to make steamed buns, the reason was that everyone liked Aunt Huang's craft, and she was ready to be a good wife and mother, so she rushed to the limelight of virtue, the sun was not shining, and she rushed over before the sky was completely bright.

Shen Yeling was not idle this day, and took Xu Ruliang to the Luo family with a gift, Xu Ruliang saw the Luo family for the first time, and looked at the two stone lions at the door of the Luo family's façade.

Xu Ruliang is sure that Xunyang's plum blossom number Luo's house blooms the best, but even if it blooms best, it is still a lonely self-appreciation behind closed doors. And all the way under the leadership of the housekeeper, walking behind his master, one after another to see the Luo family carved beams and painted attic, leaving the antique atmosphere of the previous dynasty, he dared to say that Xunyang this piece of house, the Chinese architecture of the Luo family is the most brilliant atmosphere, and does not lose the ancient charm.

Xu Ruliang was overwhelmed, but Shen Yeling beside him had an indifferent attitude towards the scenery and buildings next to him, the soft gravel road that should be taken on the road, and the empty mountain pavilion that he should pass by He walked chic and free, as if he could recognize the way without the housekeeper as a guide.

Shen Yeling's gaze swam to the end of the corridor, and a young man with a tall posture and a white face was standing, this young man was dressed in a military style, with a white shirt inside, a belt around his waist, black breeches on his legs, and boots on his feet, and the heels of the boots knocked on the ground, making a loud noise.

In this antique Chinese house, there is such a modern teenager, but the boy and Jing do get along well, and people can't see the twist from a distance.

This young man is Cheng Jiabai, I saw that he also saw Shen Yeling and the others coming, and hurriedly stepped on his boots, 'Oh Oooo' greeted him, he couldn't speak, the New Year was not a little happy on him, he still had a cold face, and it took a long time to lower his head: "Mr. Shen."

Although Cheng Jiabai is Luo Xiaoqi's godbrother, and Shen Yeling is Luo Xiaoqi's adoptive uncle who is not related by blood, so the two sides can't fight together. Even if there is a Luo Xiaoqi in the middle, Cheng Jiabai still can't get acquainted with anyone except his sister.

Shen Yeling saw that he was out of sight, and he didn't flatter him in turn, so he replied with a smile: "Young Master Cheng."

Cheng Jiabai nodded: "Sister, I'm waiting for you, please come with me."

Then the housekeeper retreated, and Cheng Jiabai led the way, Cheng Jiabai took the two to a small pavilion in the middle of the lake, a thin layer of ice formed on the lake, and threw a stone to smash a hole, just enough to fish there, so Jiang Yuan leaned on the small pavilion, smashed the hole, touched the bait, and started fishing with a fishing rod calmly.

Seeing Shen Yeling and Cheng Jiabai coming, he hurriedly put down the matter at hand, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, arched his hands into a fist, and greeted each other with a smile: "Oh, it's the New Year, it's the New Year, Boss Shen is as blessed as the East China Sea, and the little young master is longer than Nanshan."

These auspicious words Jiang Yuan said made the person on the other side feel a little biased and weird, and even Xu Ruliang, who was walking at the back, scratched his head and thought: This is Jiang Yuan, the talented man who can be Fang Zhongyong?

Then Jiang Yuan entered the pavilion with them, the pavilion stood in the lake and two floors, the craftsmen who built it back then, and the ingenious skills of the craftsmen in this pavilion looked at the scenery from afar, even in the cold winter, they could keep warm and avoid the cold.

The charcoal fire in the house was booming, and several people went up to the second floor, and what caught their eyes was Luo Xiaoqi lying on the Luohan bed, with a blanket on her legs, flipping through this morning's newspaper, and a realistic screen behind her, which was quite magnificent.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, especially Shen Yeling, she hurriedly grinned and ordered everyone to sit down, and there were several Taishi chairs next to the table in front of her arhat bed, Jiang Yuan and Cheng Jiabai sat on one side, and there was a small square table in the middle. But Shen Yeling had a monopoly on the other, and the one who sat down was also the one closest to Luo Xiaoqi.

"You don't have to be polite, it's the same as your own home when you arrive," Luo Xiaoqi said with the courage of a host

She is rare and amiable today, this is still the adjective Jiang Yuan gave her.

But even Luo Xiaoqi, who was gentle, did not let Xu Ruliang let go of half of his fear of her, relying on the uniform prejudice of the people of Xunyang towards Luo Xiaoqi, when he heard Luo Xiaoqi say, 'It's like being in his own home', he hurriedly shivered, and stood behind Shen Yeling with his head down.

He was originally Shen Yeling's apprentice, and he came to take gifts for his master's visit, and he was not qualified to sit down, so he could only stand behind Shen Yeling and blend into the background behind him.

But in Jiang Yuan's eyes, he couldn't melt in, his somewhat shrunken body immediately attracted Jiang Yuan's attention, and he hurriedly pulled him from behind Shen Yeling, rubbed his shoulders and said proudly: "Yo, I noticed this little brother at once, tell me who you are from Mr. Shen, it won't be your godson."

Xu Ruliang saw such a scene, in front of everyone, he was pulled out by Jiang Yuan like this, what if he was noticed by Luo Xiaoqi, so his face turned red, and his eyes were a little frightened and said: "No, I am the master's eldest apprentice."

Jiang Yuan's heart trembled by his cute reaction, and he had the intention of teasing, and hurriedly touched his head with his other hand: "Ouch, big apprentice, you should be a big apprentice at such a young age."

Luo Xiaoqi frowned, and said angrily: "Jiang Yuan", as a warning. Jiang Yuan hurriedly understood, and when he went out with Xu Ruliang in his hands, he would not be an eyesore in front of them.

Jiang Yuan went out to be quiet, Luo Xiaoqi stepped forward in the direction of Shen Yeling, and said softly: "Uncle, don't be in a hurry to leave today, stay and have lunch."

As soon as Luo Xiaoqi finished speaking, Cheng Jiabai got up and said that it was time to prepare their lunch, and they were left in the room, Shen Yeling stepped forward and took out the red envelope in his pocket, and handed it to Luo Xiaoqi with a smile: "Give, this year's one is indispensable for you."

Luo Xiaoqi took it and put it in the palm of his hand, and then raised his head and said childishly: "I haven't received a red envelope for a long time, and now it's me to someone else."

She pouted a little reluctantly, and Shen Yeling answered softly: "That's because you grew up and became the head of the Luo family, can the Luo family be bigger than you?" Therefore, to be the head of the house, you should have the style of being the head of the house, and you must focus on the overall situation in everything, don't ruin the reputation of the Luo family, let alone ruin your own."

Luo Xiaoqi nodded, pretending to understand it carefully, and looking forward to the memories before, even the address to Shen Yeling changed: "Sixteen, do you remember that my father and my mother gave me a red envelope during the Chinese New Year, and you, as my uncle, also want to give me a copy as an elder." So you saved the money you deserved, wrapped it in red paper, and wrapped it for me, and after we got along for three years, you wrapped it for me for three years."

Shen Yeling sat happily on the edge of Luo Xiaoqi's bed, picked up a citrus on the table, carefully peeled off the fart, picked out the silk and sent it to Luo Xiaoqi's hand, nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and said softly: "I can't forget."

They got along for three years, but he was her uncle for the rest of his life.

Luo Xiaoqi took the dialed citrus pulp and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and smiling at Shen Yeling innocently.

Outside the door, Jiang Yuan had already led Xu Ruliang far away, asking long and short questions along the way, and said that he would ask him if he could sing if he could sing when he helped Xu Ruliang write a play another day, and asked him to sing a paragraph in front of him.

Xu Ruliang always felt that he was abducted by Jiang Yuan, so he hurriedly made a slap, covered his stomach, grinned in pain, and said that his stomach hurt. Jiang Yuan hurriedly wanted to take him to the thatched house first, but he refused, he said that he could find the taste and find where the thatched house was?

This made Jiang Yuan laugh again, the more he felt that Xu Ruliang, who could find the thatched house by his senses, was cute, the more he liked it in his heart. So he waved his hand and let him go.

After Xu Ruliang was liberated from Jiang Yuan, he didn't seem to be able to find his way back to Shen Yeling, he walked all the way, looking left and right, but he felt that Luo's house was a good place, and he couldn't finish shopping.

This is when he walked outside a courtyard, through the circular arch, he saw a group of housekeepers sneakily taking care of this thing, and listened to a housekeeper who said in a rough voice: "Ouch, this is all wet, can the town guard who sent it to Tianjin accept it and open it?"

Then another voice continued: "This is the eyeliner that the town guard Shi planted in our Luo family, and he is the person who guards the town, can he not open it and take a look."

Then another woman laughed and said: "They are also hard-fated, tortured for a long time before dying, they have scraped several knives on their bodies, and the wounds left on their faces and bodies are still bleeding, if you can't go back, let's find a sealed box, we can't let this blood seep out."

After she finished speaking, she patted the wooden box in front of her, only to see that the ground of the wooden box had already been stained red with blood, and the blood droplets fell to the ground one by one and condensed into a pool.

In the end, someone sighed: "Yo, I thought our girls would make them adults, how can their limbs still be sound."

"When he said that he was guarding the history of the town, I was afraid that he would be timid and scared, and besides, he returned to Tianjin to get married in addition to the New Year, and it was a troublesome thing to scare the groom to death and be found by his in-laws."

The more Xu Ruliang listened to them, the more his legs trembled, and suddenly he really felt that the wooden box that was half covered by them emitted an unpleasant corpse smell, which floated directly to the bottom of his nose from a long distance.

His stomach was filled with nausea, the master of the house was a vicious man, and the servants under her were not good people. He suddenly felt that this was the Longtan Tiger's Den, and if he fell in, he couldn't get out, so he had to be stripped alive before he stopped.

In his heart, he turned around and thought that he had to bring his master out, and he didn't have the heart to browse the surrounding scenery, so he hurriedly ran around to search for his master's figure. He still saw his master at the bottom of a hall.
