Xu Lingyi and Shi Niang returned to the lotus flower at the beginning of the first day, hurriedly changed their clothes, freshened up and went to Mrs. Tai.

The courtyard was quiet, and the laughter of Xu Sijian and Brother Zhen could be heard from a distance. When you enter the house, it is even more lively.

Xu Sijian and Brother Zhen were kicking shuttlecocks in the center of the hall. Xu Siqin helped Brother Zhen count, and Xu Siyu helped Xu Sijian count.

The third master sat on the first master in the west and watched with a smile, and said two sentences from time to time, "Be careful, kick high" to make fun. The third lady sat at the head of her husband. Although he looked at Xu Sijian and Brother Zhen with a smile like her husband, her eyes were very erratic and she seemed a little absent-minded.

The fifth master, Xu Lingkuan, wore a carved silk robe with dark patterns of crow blue and dark sirish flowers, and sat on the first Taishi chair in the east. He pursed his lips tightly, his expression was a little serious, less flying and more calm than usual. And the fifth lady sitting at the head of him was the opposite of him. looked at Xu Sijian and Brother Zhen with a smile, and turned around from time to time to say a few words to her husband, with a lively and playful expression.

Seeing Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang coming in, he stood up suddenly, startling the fifth lady who turned back to talk to him.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked, following his gaze towards the door.

Everyone looked towards the door.

The noise in the room fell silent at once.

Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu stopped counting in unison, while Xu Sijian and Brother Zhen stood there in amazement.

"It turned out that Hou Ye and the fourth sister-in-law were back!" The fifth lady stood up with a big belly, she greeted Xu Lingyi and Shi Niang with a bright smile, and her cheerful tone broke the silence in the room.

"Fourth brother! Fourth sister-in-law! Xu Lingkuan muttered, looking at Xu Lingyi's gaze with the firmness of "the strong man is gone".

Xu Lingyi didn't look at him, and arched his hand towards the third master: "Third brother!" ”

"It's back!" The third master stood up with a smile and arched his hand, which was considered a return of the courtesy, "Everyone is waiting for you to eat!" ”

"yes, yes!" The third lady immediately smiled and took her husband's words and said, "Everyone is waiting for the Hou Ye to come back for dinner!" She changed her listlessness just now, and a pair of eyes looked straight at Shi Niang, with a little curiosity and a little spying, as if Shi Niang had suddenly become different.

It seems that the third lady has heard rumors about the child. I just don't know if the fifth lady has heard about it......

Eleven Niang thought about returning the third lady's gift, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the fifth lady.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she looked at herself with a smile on her face.

I should have been obedient to this matter......

Eleven Niang's thoughts flashed, and the eyes of the two collided together.

The corners of the fifth lady's mouth curled deeply, and her smile immediately became bright and bright: "Fourth sister-in-law! ”

She called Eleven Niang affectionately.

It was as if the smile that had nothing to do with me just now disappeared like water without a trace.

It is worthy of being the person who was named the county lord by the first emperor...... Look at this face-changing kung fu, it is really the first in the princess's family.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded to her, Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu, Xu Sijian, and Brother Zhen had come forward to salute.

She gathered her thoughts and greeted the children with a pleasant face.

Xu Lingyi nodded lightly and looked towards the inner room: "What about my mother?" ”

Oh, yes! Everyone was there, but I didn't see Mrs. Tai.

Eleven Niang also looked towards the inner room.

The corners of the third master's mouth were slightly twitched, and he was about to answer, but the third lady had already rushed to say: "My mother is in the Buddha Hall." said that they would wait for Hou Ye to come back and eat together. ”

Xu Lingyi's expression was slightly sluggish when she heard this, she glanced at Eleven Niang, and said, "I'll invite my mother to dinner." ”

I went to Gongxian Hutong first, and then I went to Honglan Hutong, what was the scene? What do relatives say? I think he still has to discuss it with Mrs. Tai.

Eleven Niang bowed slightly towards Xu Lingyi, signaling that she knew. Then he smiled and said to the third lady and the fifth lady: "It's all because we are late." Let the maids set the meal! ”

Xu Lingyi went to the Buddhist hall with confidence.

The third lady looked at Xu Lingyi's back, pursed her lips and smiled, before looking back at Eleven Niang: "Where did you go for this New Year?" "I didn't immediately call the maid to set the meal.

Eleven Niang glanced at Xu Lingkuan and the fifth lady.

Xu Lingkuan's expression tightened, but the fifth lady's eyes flashed slightly and she shrugged her ears.

She smiled slightly and said, "I went back to the bowstring alley with Hou Ye." "More than that.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the third lady, but the fifth lady smiled, revealing a calm and calm look of "I understand if you don't say it".

And the third master, who saw all this in his eyes, frowned slightly, and instructed his wife: "Hurry up and set the meal!" The kids are hungry! ”

The third lady couldn't help but be angry when she heard this, glanced at her husband, and was a little reluctant to order the meal.

The third master looked blind, and talked to Eleven Niang with a smile: "On this cold day, the fourth brother and sister are about to sit in the east room to warm up!" "Showing more and more care.

Eleven Niang was very grateful, smiled and thanked the third master, thinking that Xu Lingyi and Mrs. Tai were only afraid that they would not come out for a while and a half, and asked for the third master's opinion: "...... Why don't you go to the east and sit down first? ”

The third master thought about it and said with a smile: "Let's wait here!" With that, he sat down on the Taishi chair again.

Seeing this, the others also sat down.

The third master had a smile on his face, and his appearance was relaxed; The fifth master is sitting in a precarious position, and his eyes do not squint; The fifth lady smiled and looked pleasant; Eleven Niang smiled at the corner of her mouth, bowed her head and said nothing; Xu Siyu sat upright like a pine, thoughtful; Only Xu Sijian and Brother Zhen, their little heads were together, and they didn't know what they were talking about, which made Xu Siqin glare at his younger brother from time to time, signaling him to be quieter. It's a pity that Xu Sijian talked to Brother Zhen wholeheartedly, and didn't notice Xu Siqin's gaze at all, and the more he talked, the louder he became, and finally giggled.

"Thrifty!" The third master couldn't stand it anymore, and called out to his son, although he was reproachful, his voice was very gentle.

Xu Sijian immediately sat up straight when he heard this.

"Little kids, where can you sit still?" The fifth lady looked at it and smiled, "It's all family members, and the third uncle doesn't need to be so restrained." ”

The third master laughed twice when he heard it: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be a weapon." I didn't care about it when I was a child, but when I grew up and developed a habit, I couldn't control it. ”

As she was talking, the third lady came in, listened to half of the words, and said with a smile: "Who can't control it?" ”

The third master was about to speak, and the fifth lady had already said: "The third uncle said that he was afraid that Brother Jian would not be able to control him when he was old." ”

Her gaze wandered, giving the impression that there was something in her words.

The third lady's face was slightly gloomy when she heard this, and she was about to say something, but she saw Xu Lingyi walking in with Mrs. Tai.

She forced it down in one breath and greeted her with a smile: "Mother, you are here!" ”

Everyone stood up and greeted Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai nodded, and instructed the third lady with a faint expression: "Let's eat!" Then he went straight to the east of the room.

The third lady bent her knees to say "yes", and asked the maid to set the meal, and the others followed Mrs. Tai into the east room and sat down in turn.

Xu Lingyi gave Shi Niang a "everything is fine" look.

After eating, everyone went to the west room with Mrs. Tai as usual.

This time, Mrs. Tai sat on the big kang near the window, but Xu Lingyi stood on Mrs. Tai's left hand.

The third master and the third lady exchanged a tacit look, and then the two stood silently on the right hand side of Mrs. Tai.

The fifth lady looked at it and smiled slightly, pulled the corner of Xu Lingkuan's clothes, and stood side by side with Eleven Niang, who was standing behind Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingkuan hesitated for a moment and stood beside Xu Lingyi.

The children looked at each other.

Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian stood next to their mother, and Xu Siyu pulled Brother Zhen to stand beside Xu Lingkuan.

The maids who came in to serve tea trembled when they saw it, and they all retreated after putting down the tea cup lightly.

Mrs. Tai took the teacup and sipped the tea carefully.

You can hear pins falling in the room.

After a while, she put down the teacup, swept the son, daughter-in-law, and grandson standing beside her, and then said slowly: "A few days ago, Master Hou had a dream. I dreamed of Aunt Tong. said that he is lonely now, he doesn't even have an incense candle to worship, and he can't be reincarnated, which is very pitiful. Please Hou Ye for the sake of serving Hou Ye since she was a child, and let Hou Ye raise a child under her name and offer incense and candles, so that she can be reincarnated. Hou Ye woke up, and he was very uneasy. The next day, I went to Shantang, ready to take a child back and raise it under Aunt Tong's name. It's also fateful. There happens to be a child with phoenix eyes exactly like our Xu family. Hou Ye thought of Aunt Tong's dream, and felt that this was simply providence. As he spoke, he glanced at Eleven Niang, "Then I discussed Eleven Niang, and then discussed the people of the Luo family and me, and decided to take this child back and raise it under Aunt Tong's name, which can be regarded as a complete ......."

Mrs. Tai didn't finish a sentence, Xu Lingkuan suddenly stepped forward: "Mother......"

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on him.

"This thing ......"

As soon as he said three words, there was a "snap", and Mrs. Tai slapped her palm on the kang table, interrupting his words.

"Ling Kuan." Xu Lingyi had a calm face, looking at Xu Lingkuan's gaze like frost and snow, "My mother is talking, how can I be my son to interject." You stand aside for me and listen. ”

Xu Ling's face was as plain as plain, he shrank for a moment, and quickly stood up straight in front of Xu Lingyi's gaze, looking back at his brother firmly.

Shi Niang thought of Xu Lingkuan's demeanor when they entered the door, and thought of his current appearance, and secretly shouted in her heart that it was bad - only people who have firm beliefs in their hearts will face difficulties without fear of danger.

He didn't want to tell the truth and carry it alone, right?

Obviously, there is also Mrs. Tai who has the same idea as Eleven Niang.

She didn't wait for Xu Lingkuan to open her mouth and shouted: "Xu Lingkuan, I spoil you." You're fine, there's no margin. You dare to interject even when I am talking to your brother about business. Do you see that your father is gone, so you don't take me as a mother seriously! ”

Mrs. Tai pointed out that Xu Lingkuan was unfilial.

This is a very serious statement.

Xu Lingkuan's expression changed greatly, and he knelt down as if pushing a jade mountain and pouring a golden pillar: "Kuan'er doesn't dare to ......"
