Zhu Youning returned home, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he heard a burst of talking from the main house, which was sandwiched by Li Tuobei's low laughter.

Zhu Youning was overjoyed, walked quickly around the Wufu Shou Ying Wall, and walked straight to the main house on the stone road.

The nightingale standing at the door saw Zhu Youning and happily looked inside: "Madam, Miss Nine is back." "Open the curtain for Zhu Youning.

There was a sound of footsteps in the house, and the Bai people arrived before they arrived, and said happily: "Mother's obedient girl is back!" ”

With a faint smell of rouge, Zhu Youning was held in Bai's arms.

"Mother. I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing? How is my father? How is it at home? ”

"Good, all right. Fu Ya'er seems to have grown taller! Bai Shi looked at her daughter who was already about the same height as her in surprise and emotion.

Zhu Youning said with a smile: "I go out and walk around a lot, and I eat a lot, I can't say that it's because of this that I've grown taller." ”

Zhu Huating looked at Zhu Youning with a smile at the door, "Well, I've grown a little taller, but I've also lost weight, come into the house, I'm waiting for you to eat." ”

"Yes, yes, look at me just talking. Nightingales, mandarin ducks, go and set the meal. Bai took Zhu Youning's hand and walked into the house.

The servants were busy going to the kitchen.

In the main house, Li Tuobei, Sixteen, Buddha Eighth Master and Little Zhuang Brother are all there.

Brother Zhuang is now at a naughty age, and he is particularly entangled with Sixteen and Li Tuobei, and at this time he is riding on Sixteen's neck, stretching out his hand to grab the hosta on Li Tuobei's head.

Li Tuobei was also willing to tease him, tilting his head to prevent him from grabbing it, Brother Zhuang withdrew his hand, he leaned his head over again, and so on, provoking Brother Zhuang to simply kick his legs and jump on Li Tuobei's body.

Bai Shi came in with Zhu Youning in his arms and saw Brother Zhuang'er's move, so he lowered his face and reprimanded: "Zhuangzhuang, you are bullying my brother again!" Don't come down soon, your sister is back! ”

Brother Zhuang pouted when he was trained, and was reluctantly put down by Sixteen, and saluted like a little adult: "Sister." ”

"Whoa." Zhu Youning smiled and pinched his younger brother's cheek, "My sister brought a lot of things back to you, and I'll let the nightingale pick them up later." ”

Brother Zhuang'er's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded with a blushing face. Although she has been with Zhu Youning for a short time, this sister is still very strange, but under Zhu Youning's intentional management, she has already occupied a place in the minds of six-year-old children.

Zhu Youning raised her eyes and met Li Tuobei's smiling gaze, she replied with a big smile, and Li Tuobei was also happy to show neat white teeth.

Zhu Youning invited his parents to take a seat and respectfully bowed: "Father, mother, your daughter is so tired of going out that you are worried at home." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up." After receiving the salute, Bai Shi helped Zhu Youning up, "Mother knows that you are working hard outside, and the Jiang guards have explained to us that you can do such a big thing, your grandfather has ordered someone to send a food box, my mother is very happy, but I am embarrassed by my good girl." Bai said, then hugged Zhu Youning's shoulder and patted it.

Zhu Youning looked at his father. She felt that when she came back this time, her mother's attitude towards her seemed to be more affectionate. These things about her showing up also seem to be acceptable.

Zhu Huating smiled and nodded at her, and she understood that her father must have done a lot of ideological work for her mother during this time.

"Don't talk about it yourself, you've done a good job." Zhu Huating smiled, "Okay, sit down and talk." ”

"Yes."

The group sat down according to their identities. Brother Zhuang simply climbed onto Li Tuobei's knees, sat on his lap and pulled his sleeve to play.

Bai looked at his youngest son helplessly and dotingly, and then looked at Li Tuobei, who was very patient with his head down and coaxing his strong brother, and his heart moved.

Zhu Youning said with a smile: "When I got off the boat, I was taken directly to the ancestral house. I didn't have time to introduce you, this Mr. Jiang is the guard of Renyibo, because the family is eight, we all call him the eighth master. Along the way, the eighth master, together with the flying dragon soup and the buckle meat, helped me a lot. ”

She deliberately omitted the word "Buddha" in the title and retained the honorific title "Eighth Master", which was to cover up his past as a Jinyiwei in front of his parents. I believe that the Buddha and the Eighth Master don't want to be burdened with this past all the time. Now that he has left the capital, he can start a new life, and as long as he does not meet his enemies in Fuyang, no one will deliberately mention his past.

The eighth master of the Buddha stood up and solemnly bowed to Zhu Huating and the Bai family, "I have seen the master and the wife." ”

Zhu Huating and the Bai family knew that he was the guard beside Renyibo, and they were busy getting up and politely returning the courtesy.

The two sides exchanged polite greetings, the Buddha's eighth master's monk-like temperament is easy to win people's favor, he is delicate and knowledgeable, Zhu Huating and Bai's impression of him is very good.

"Ma'am, the food is already in the side hall." Cui's mother came in with a smile and said.

Zhu Huating and Bai beckoned everyone to go to the side hall together.

Zhu Youning and Li Tuobei walked side by side in the back, and asked in a low voice, "What about the flying dragon soup and the button meat?" Thanks to their help along the way, I still haven't thanked them properly. ”

Li Tuobei said with a smile: "The two of them went to the bathhouse with the vinegar fish, you don't have to be so polite, they are all their own people." You have to thank them for coming back, and invite them to a table of good ones. ”

"That's essential. However, Brother Bei arranged for them to enter Beijing halfway, but it helped me a lot. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back now, and letting them go to Beijing would have taken a big risk, right? ”

Zhu Youning borrowed someone from Li Tuobei at the beginning, but Li Tuobei refused at the first time, and also introduced her to the father and daughter of the Dou family, Zhu Youning knew that with the friendship that she and Li Tuobei grew up with, Li Tuobei could refuse, and it must be of great importance.

But when he heard that something had happened in Bofu, Li Tuobei still sent someone here. She wrote down this righteous anger.

"Brother Bei, thank you very much." Zhu Youning looked at Li Tuobei gratefully.

Her eyes were very clean, and when she smiled, her eyes seemed to be holding a pool of clear spring water, Li Tuobei couldn't help but look into her eyes, and saw her amber pupils smiling very silly.

He was excited, his face was hot, and he waved his hand again and again: "You're welcome, it's all your own people, polite or something." ”

Zhu Youning blinked his eyes strangely, feeling that Li Tuobei's appearance was a little strange.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and after the meal, Zhu Youning asked Sixteen to take the Buddha and the Eighth Master to live in the Chang'an Restaurant for the time being.

Zhu Youning sent people out of the house all the way, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he explained in a low voice:

"Eighth master, forgive me, I just arrived today, and I didn't have time to prepare a place for you. Chang'an Restaurant is my industry, although it is not open now, the guest rooms inside are still good, and all the items are complete. ”

The eighth master of the Buddha wants to follow her, but her family's house is small, and it is not good for the eighth master of the Buddha to live in the inverted room with the servants, and there are female dependents in the family, which is not convenient.

Dou Wanwan said that she would go home and settle down, and she would come to Zhu Youning's side tomorrow on an errand, and then the house would be even more crowded, and she really had to think about the problem of living.
