Mother"! Brother Jin, who was talking to Xu Lingyi, dropped his father, opened his arms, and took a few steps forward to hug Eleven Niang tightly, "Do you miss me?" Then, like Xiao Shi, he pillowed his head on Eleven Niang's shoulder, completely ignoring that he was half a head taller than his mother.

"Yes!" Eleven Niang kissed her son's cheek, "Come, let my mother see if you are fat or thin!" Gently pushed him away, seriously looking at him from top to bottom.

Twelve-year-old Brother Chen'er has a well-proportioned and tall figure, white and delicate skin, bright and clear eyes, and a bright smile, like the autumn sun, clean and hearty.

Eleven Niang smiled and bent her eyebrows.

‘… Mother," Brother Jin felt his mother's joy and smiled even brighter, "I'm so raw, now you should rest assured!" ”

Shi Niang nodded and gently twisted his cheeks: "I heard that the sun in Jiayuguan is very strong, why are you not dark at all?" It can't be that you were lazy and didn't go to the guardhouse, right? ”

"How is that possible!" Brother Jin shouted that he was wronged, "I just can't shine in the dark, what can I do?" "It's quite aggrieved.

Eleven Niang laughed.

Brother Jin hugged her mother again: "Mother, I want you to make braised lion head, and I also want to make mung bean cake at home." ”

Eleven Niang's heart softened: "I know that you are coming back in the next two days, so let the family prepare every day!" ”

Xu Lingyi frowned on the side: "It's so big, what does it look like, don't stand up straight and speak!" ”

Brother Jin made a grimace at Eleven Niang and stood up straight.

Eleven Niang was reluctant to give up her son, so she took Brother Jin'er's hand: "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later!" Let him go and freshen up first, and then go to his mother to say hello. ”

Xu Lingyi nodded.

Mother and son walked out of the study side by side and whispered.

"Mother, did the emperor really seal me a commander of the filial piety guard?" In the end, Xiao is a child, and he asked about it as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Calling you back from all the way, can this still be fake?" Eleven Niang smiled, "I just came back from the palace, and the queen asked when you will come back?" Let you go to the palace when you come back, and she will reward you. And the eldest princess said that when the New Year comes, you will be allowed to enter the palace to accompany her. ”

Brother Jin sighed: "The eldest princess has such a big face." Then he said, "Mother, my commander is actually because of Keju." You say, will anyone call me the commander of Keju? If that's the case, you're in trouble. "Very worried.

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing and teasing her son: "It's really possible!" ”

"Mother!" He glared at Eleven Niang, his big phoenix eyes shining, "You, how can you be like this?" Laugh at me! ”

"Alright, alright, don't laugh, don't laugh." Eleven Niang took her son's shoulder.

Brother I don't follow.

"It's me who is wrong.

"Eleven Niang is not accompanied," never say such things again in the future. Good no good? ”

Brother Jin turned cloudy.

Xu Lingyi, who was walking behind them, was still patient to listen to them at first, and when he saw Brother Jin'er's face, his expression was a little displeased, and when Brother Jin apologized to Brother Jin, Brother Jin became happy, and his face was even more ugly.

"Did anyone talk to their mother like that?" He scolded in a deep voice, "I'm spoiling you so much!" ”

"Yes!" Brother Jin hurriedly bowed his head, "It's me who is wrong." Not again. "I obediently hugged Eleven Niang, and I didn't dare to speak.

Eleven Niang looked funny and angry.

The three of them walked silently for a cup of tea, Brother Jin couldn't help it, and muttered to Eleven Niang again: "Mother, do you wear the Hufu I brought back for you?" It was the garment of return. There are still Mengren's clothes and Weiwei's clothes on the other side of Jiayuguan...... It's all different. When I first went, I didn't know it, so I bought the most beautiful one in the shop. When I came back this time, I brought you several clothes, as well as a very beautiful head sand."

"I also brought a beautiful head sand!" Eleven Niangxiao said, "I heard that their hats are very beautiful, have you thought of buying a few hats to come back?" ”

"Mother, you can really do it!" "The most beautiful thing I see them is their hats. Bought a lot and came back......

“…”

The two talked all the way, and Xu Lingyi shook his head behind them, revealing a helpless and somewhat doting expression.

Mrs. Tai left the time for Brother Jin'er to speak, and everyone in the house knew the news of Brother Jin'er's return, not only the fifth lady, Brother Xu, Brother Cheng, and Xu Sizhen took Brother Ting, Xu Sijie and Yingniang to Mrs. Tai, even the housekeeper mother with a head and face in the house also went to kowtow to Brother Jin'er, Mrs. Tai happily closed her mouth and asked the second lady to reward. The second lady didn't want to splash the interest of the lady, so she asked Yuuka and yù to carry the basket ready to be filled with silver under the eaves. The silver bills sparkled in the sunlight, like water dripping into a pan of oil, which suddenly made everyone's mood rise a lot.

Kowtows, thanksgiving, and appreciating are one after another, and they are even more lively than the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Mrs. Tai smiled and instructed Xu Lingyi: "Let's set off fireworks at night." ”

Xu Lingyi felt a headache, and was thinking of finding a way to return to Mrs. Tai, but the second lady smiled and said, "Mother, my brother will come back,

The decree has not yet been received. At this time, fireworks were set off, and when it came to the middle of the day, wouldn't it look deserted. "Yes." Mrs. Tai has always been kind to the second lady's words, and said with a smile, "We'll put it on that day." ”

On that day, Brother Jin received the holy decree early in the morning, accompanied by Xu Lingyi into the palace to thank him, and went to the queen's mother. The Queen's Mother

I appreciated a pair of Hetian yù's yù ruyi. The eldest princess had already sent someone to find out the news of Brother Jin'er, and the queen mother had just finished asking her words

There it is. Xu Lingyi thanked the eldest princess: "...... It's all thanks to your good words. Otherwise, Brother Jin would not be like this

Great creation. ”

Compared with Xu Lingyi's respect and solemnity, Brother Jin'er's compliment was much more lively and cordial: "Thank you for the acquaintance of the eldest princess."

Grace, if there is anything in the future, the eldest princess just speaks. Go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up. As he spoke, he patted his chest and put

The people in the side hall laughed. The eldest princess smiled and bent over: "What do I want you to do in the soup?" "Say, she

The smile condensed slightly, and said, "You will enter the palace to congratulate on the first day of junior high school, right?" ”

"In the past, when I was nothing, I secretly followed my father and my mother to get in, and now I am also a good four-grade

Is it good to command all of them? Brother Jin muttered, "If you are right, how can you not enter the palace to congratulate?" ”

The eldest princess laughed again: "You are less proud there, how about the fourth grade?" Not everyone can congratulate the four products

Target. ”

The two of you and I are talking about it there the queen mother and xu lingyi frowned slightly, one

Thinking that her daughter is about to get married, I am afraid that it will be rare to have such a happy time in the future, so I stretched my brows and showed a faint smile

Appearance. One thought that this was in the palace, and although the son looked a little ruffian, he seemed to be very happy when he looked at the eldest princess

As if happy, I endured it and didn't make a sound.

When I returned home, the stage had been set up, and the people of the three major opera troupes had already dressed up in the wing room, and there were Liangge Lao, Huange Lao and others

The big housekeeper sent a congratulatory gift, and King Shun, Weibei Hou, Wang Li and others went to Xu's Mansion to congratulate him.

Five tables were set up in the outer courtyard, Xu Lingyi took Brother Jin'er a table of respects and thanks, and Xu Sizhen commanded Xiao and Ya on the side

The mustaches poured tea and wine. In the inner courtyard, there are Mrs. Lin, Huang San Nainai, Mrs. Gan and others, and twelve tables are set up, eleven mothers and five ladies,

The third lady accompanied the guests, and Jiang went to the net hall and urged the mothers-in-law to take out all the lanterns used during the New Year and hang them up, and wait for the wine

Seats, everyone sat down with a smile on the spot; The gongs and drums are sonorous, the lights are bright, the sheng brother is deafening, the splendid eyes are bright, and the prosperity is prosperous.

Mrs. Tai was full of joy, as if she had forgotten something, and looked at the bustle in front of her, and quickly put this thought into her mind

All of them were left behind, and the second lady sat on the Luohan bed covered with the big red five mants bangshou cushion, and Mrs. Huang next to her said

Words, just like that, he fell asleep on the bed. When I woke up the next day, I asked the second lady, "Have you set off the fireworks?" ”

The second lady smiled: "I didn't get your orders, so I didn't let it go." ”

"Didn't I command?" Mrs. Tai was very confused.

On the third day, Sister Xin, who married in Nanjing, sent a congratulatory gift. On the fourth day, I received a congratulatory gift from Sister Zhen. Wait to receive Xu

When the heir sent a congratulatory gift from Le'an, he had already eaten Laba porridge and was preparing for the New Year.

Xu Lingyi wants to meet with the big shopkeepers from all over the country, and Eleven Niang wants to send New Year's gifts, and some can be entrusted to the Jiang family, like Yongchang Hou,

Wei Beihou and Liang Ge Lao were there, but they needed her to go in person. and Mrs. Gan and Cao E, who want to take this opportunity to see

See. Xu Sizhen and Jiang are busy in the outer courtyard and the other in the inner courtyard, rewarding the New Year's in the house, and sweeping the New Year's clothes

Dust, sticking peach charms and other trivial matters, Brother Milling and Brother Cheng were taken by Xu Lingkuan and the fifth lady to see the elders, it was Xu Sijie, too

was pulled by Xu Sizhen to write a post. Only Yingniang and Brother Jin, who are about to give birth, have nothing to do, and they both like to go to the courtyard of Eleven Niang

Run, and the two quickly got together. One practiced boxing and wrote big characters in the courtyard to practice Keju, and the other sat under the eaves

The beauty leans on the needle embroidery and looks up from time to time to cheer.

Brother Jin was dissatisfied: "You can't look carefully and then applaud - it's obviously a kick in the air, but you are there shouting "Okay", if you weren't my cousin, I would definitely think you were cheering for me!" ”

Ying Niang smiled wryly, hurriedly put down the needle and thread and said, "I'll look at it carefully." ”

Brother Jin'er's face was slightly pale.

Chang'an ran in: "Sixth young master, sixth young master, someone is looking for you!" ”

"Who's looking for me!" Brother Jin didn't care, kicked the bow into the air, and then turned around lightly to pick it up, obviously

The interest is high.

Chang'an couldn't help but be anxious: "It's a Xiao eunuch." ”

Brother Jin said "Huh", threw the bow to Suifeng on the side, and walked out of the inner courtyard.

The next day, he said that he was bored at home and wanted to go out for a walk.

The boys of the Xu family basically opened the curfew when they moved to the outer courtyard, not to mention that Brother Jin had stayed in Jiayuguan for several months. Of course, Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang will not stop it, but they only ordered that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many people, let him go out and bring a few more guards, note

Don't be pickpocketed, and don't cause trouble.

Brother Jin responded one by one, took Chang'an and Suifeng, escorted by several guards from the Xu Mansion, and went out
