"Okay, thank you sister-in-law that summer." Xiang Xia replied with a smile.

"Eh, you see how beautiful and delicate the eldest sister is, she is smart and pleasing, no wonder Zilong is so distressed and caring, even my yellow-faced woman is happy when she looks at it." As soon as this remark came out, others also chimed in.

"No, no, my brothers love my sisters-in-law very much..."Xiang Xia's little face blushed, and he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand.

"The old killer in my family hasn't entered my room since he came back. It's still the eldest sister who is happy, I heard that Zilong doesn't want to take care of the family now, sister, do you have any way to teach my sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Guan Yu's wife, Hu Shi, complained.

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, have you forgotten the business of inviting your sister here today?" Mrs. Gan stopped it in time.

"Yes." Everyone stopped talking, waiting for Mrs. Gan to speak first.

"Business? Did the sisters-in-law encounter some difficulties? Xiang Xia asked with concern.

"No, my sister thinks too much. We have invited you here today to thank you. When Mrs. Gan had finished speaking, she stood up before the ladies.

Thank her? Xiang Xia was a little confused, and looked at them in confusion.

The ladies and the children saluted together and said, "Thank you sister (aunt) for saving your life." ”

"What are you doing, sisters-in-law? Get up quickly, you're going to torment me. "Striding forward to the summer, I want to lift Mrs. Gan up.

"My sister must accept our courtesy, otherwise we will be ashamed of our hearts......" Mrs. Gan sincerely brushed herself, and the other ladies refused to rise.

"Now that I have accepted the courtesy, sisters-in-law should not be embarrassed for me." Xiang Xia shouted anxiously, and Mrs. Gan got up, and the other ladies followed.

"My sister is approachable and kind-hearted, and we women can't do anything for you, so we have prepared a few sets of clothes and some decorations for you, which can be regarded as a show of our hearts." Mrs. Gan took a few steps forward and put her hand on Xiang Xia, and shouted to the back room, "Someone." ”

Then, I saw five or six maids carefully holding silk and satin, silk brocade silk, embroidered shirts and skirts, beaded hairpins, and earrings. It seems that the sisters-in-law have not bothered much, Xiang Xia looked at all this in front of her in surprise, swallowed her saliva, and hurriedly shirked: "These things are too valuable, I can't accept them." And I don't lack these, Zilong has also prepared some for me recently, I have received the wishes of my sisters-in-law, and I don't have to do anything..."

"If you don't receive enough, you must accept it. Is it because you can't look down on your sister-in-law's heart? Mrs. Gan held her hand with a gentle expression.

"Nope!" Xiang Xia wanted to explain, but Mrs. Gan took the lead: "Then accept it." ”

At the right time, Hu Shi also came over to help and persuade: "Ouch, hey, the young couple is different." hasn't gotten married yet, just Zilong is so affectionate, in the future, not only Zilong will love you, but also sisters-in-law will love you. Be obedient, just accept it, otherwise it will be in vain for a piece of our mind. ”

Xiang Xia couldn't say goodbye anymore, so he had to grit his teeth and respond: "That... All right. ”

"Good, good. By the way, why didn't you bring someone with you, but it doesn't matter, I'll ask someone to send you to the house later. Is there not enough manpower in the house? Do you want me to buy you a few more personal maids to take care of? ”

"No, sister-in-law. There is no shortage of maids in the house, but I am not used to taking them with me. Xiang Xia explained embarrassedly.

"Oh, my sister loves to worry, do you think Zilong will not take care of his sister?" Hu's handkerchief hid his face and smiled evilly.

"You, you're getting more and more shy to speak." Mrs. Gan was disgusted, and turned to look at Xiang Xia again: "Oh, look at my memory, I've been here for so long, and I haven't even let you drink a cup of tea." I also ordered some pastries to be prepared for you, but I don't know if they are to your taste. ”

"As long as it's prepared by my sister-in-law, I like it."

"This little mouth is so sweet. Come, sit down first. Mrs. Gan nodded at her, and then ordered tea and pastries to be served.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Xiahou reprimanding Xingcai: "You are not allowed to go to Brother Ping'er." ”

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Gan asked.

"This kid wants to go to Ping'er to play again, I really can't help her." Xiahou shook his head helplessly, and leaned down to comfort gently: "Cai'er, my aunt is here this summer, isn't it good to play with my aunt?" ”

Xingcai blinked her eyes and looked at Xiang Xia, and Xiang Xia took her little hand and said affectionately: "Whatever Xingcai wants to play, my aunt will play with you, okay?" ”

"Okay, but—" Constellation replied softly, hanging her head.

"But what?" Xiang Xia was puzzled, thought about it, and understood again: "But, Xingcai also wants to play with Brother Ping'er?" ”

When Xingcai heard Guan Ping's name, she raised her head and nodded brightly.

"It's rare that the relationship between the brother and sister is so good, why don't you send someone to invite Ping'er?" Mrs. Gan smiled with relief, and was about to order her subordinates to be stopped by the Xiahou clan: "Sister, don't." ”

"Sister, I don't want their brother and sister to have a good relationship, but I can't always let Xingcai bother Ping'er. Ping'er is at the age of martial arts, so he can't ask Xingcai to distract him. Xiahou said eloquently.

"Sister's words make sense...... Lady Gan nodded.

"Mother, I'll go to Brother Ping'er to practice martial arts together, and I won't make a noise with Brother Ping'er." Xingcai glutinous voice.

"That's not going to work either." Xiahou's tone was resolute, and Xingcai suddenly lowered his little face and lowered his head aggrievedly.

"Why does my sister have to speak so harshly, beware of scaring Xingcai." Mrs. Gan frowned and reminded.

"Sister, I also have my own difficulties. The second uncle relies on Ping'er, and I hope he will inherit the great cause in the future, if I let Cai'er nag and affect Ping'er, the second uncle will remember it in his heart if he doesn't say it......" Xiahou sighed, and squatted down to comfort Xingcai: "Cai'er is good, my aunt also has a good martial arts, if Cai'er wants to learn martial arts, let my aunt teach you in the air, okay?" ”

Saying that, Xiahou looked at Xiang Xia, with a little helplessness in his eyes, and smiled apologetically at her.

Xingcai was silent, only nodding her head slightly. Xiang Xia also understands in his heart that it is difficult to be a virtuous lady in ancient times, although it is a family, there are still some gaps in it, and it is inevitable to worry about it.

"Good, Cai'er." Xiahou patted her on the back.

On the occasion of the pastry being served, Xiang Xia picked up a piece of pastry and waved his hand at Xingcai: "Come, Xingcai, go to my aunt's place to eat pastry." ”

"Cai'er, go quickly." Xiahou said loudly.

Xingcai obediently walked over, handed the pastry to Xia Xia, and coaxed softly: "In the future, Xingcai will come to my aunt to practice martial arts, and my aunt will teach you..."

As he spoke, he whispered in Xingcai's ear: "When the time comes, my aunt will take you to study with Brother Heping'er." ”

"Really?" Constellation asked, her eyes wide.

"Really, my aunt is hooking and hooking you, and if my aunt lies to you, she will be a pig." Xiang Xia arched his nose with his hand and made it look like a pig.

Xingcai was amused by her move, obediently stretched out her hand to make an agreement with her, and smiled shyly: "Thank you, Aunt Summer." ”

Xiang Xia touched her little head, this child has always been sensible and obedient, she doesn't say anything when she is wronged, she doesn't cry or make trouble, she has a calmness that is different from ordinary children, she sometimes looks distressed. Ping'er is young and prosperous, a talent; Hot-blooded, lively and upright, and loves his younger siblings, it's no wonder that Xingcai likes to get along with him. I can't guarantee that when these children grow up, they will be as relaxed and happy as they are now. But at least for now, I can advocate and help them win some, which is also a part of her aunt's heart.

Mrs. Gan looked at such a warm scene, and couldn't help but think of the deceased Mrs. Mi, who used to be always accompanied by her, but now she felt that there was one less person by her side. Mrs. Mi regarded Adou as her own and died in order to protect Adou, every time she thought of this, she felt guilty in her heart. When he was sad, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his tears, and muttered with emotion: "It would be nice if my sister was also there......"

When the other ladies saw this, they were also a little infected. The originally lively backyard became dead and sentimental, and Mrs. Gan hurriedly suppressed her tears: "I'm sorry, it's affecting you." Leave me alone, you continue to ......"

That being said, who still has that mood? Several ladies stepped forward to comfort a few words: "Sister, don't be sad, we are still here." ”

"Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, sisterhood, love and righteousness. Even I, the others, were quite moved in their eyes, let alone my sister-in-law. If Sister-in-law Mi knows underground, she must not want to see her sister-in-law like this. If your sister-in-law is lonely and lonely in the future, she will come to you in the summer. Please also ask your sister-in-law to look at her sister's thin face and not be sad. Xiang Xia leaned over and held Mrs. Gan's hand, with deep affection.

"Good, good, well said. It's just that there's one thing that can't be said well..."Mrs. Gan looked at Summer with tearful eyes.

"Huh?"

"How can you be considered an outsider, you are our good sister." Mrs. Gan smiled and smiled with her.

"Oh, it's still my sister's mouth that is sweet, and my sister will have to come to comfort people in the future." The other ladies jokingly chimed in.

At the right time, a subordinate came in to report: "Madam, there is a general named 'Wei Yi' who asks to see you. ”

"It's Wei Yi!" Xiang Xia looked up in surprise, wondering what he was doing here.

"What's wrong? Is there something going on? "The ladies were still immersed in the warmth, and suddenly they panicked and discussed, the battle of Nagasakapo left a deep impression on them and an indelible shadow, could it be that there will be war again so soon? That guy Cao Cao caught up again?

Mrs. Gan's face also changed greatly, but she still had to force her composure and said, "Please come in." ”

"No." The next person quit in response.

But after a moment's effort, everyone felt extremely tormented, and a heart was always hanging, except for Xiang Summer. Xiang Xia is always by Mrs. Gan's side.

Jiangxia is a rich land, very different from the small city of Xinye, with abundant ordnance and equipment, abundant grains, and strong city defenses, which can not be attacked and attacked casually.
