Ye Shouzhi straightened his back and said reservedly, "This is a rare treasure occasionally obtained from overseas, called the chiming clock, you see, these twelve days are the hour, where the short hand points to the hour, and the long hand refers to which quarter of an hour."

"It's much better than an hourglass, and I can see it clearly, every half an hour, this chiming bell will sing once, much better than a husband."

Everyone was amazed, and the smile on Ye Shouzhi's face became more and more reserved, "This baby is the only one in Daxiao, the five girls are most like me, so I will give the five girls a meeting gift, you are not allowed to complain about my partiality as an aunt!" ”

As soon as Ye Shouzhi's words fell, the eyes of the girls in Ye Mansion all fell on Ye Qingshu, and the scorching heat made Ye Qingshu hot in this winter.

Ye Qingling covered her lips and chuckled, "My aunt is so partial, but we are not allowed to complain about my aunt's partiality!" I don't know about other sisters, anyway, I don't follow, my aunt will quickly take out the meeting gift for me, it's not as good as Ashu's, I won't let my aunt go today! ”

Ye Qingling's words were playful and pleasing, and the eyes that fell on Ye Qingshu all returned to Ye Shouzhi's face.

Ye Shouzhi Gege laughed, "Okay, well, all of them are there, no one is left behind, my aunt is still looking forward to going home for the New Year!" ”

Everyone laughed, and for a moment the center of virtue was full of joy.

Old lady Ye took Ye Shouren, Ye Shouyi, Yan Kefeng, Yan Kefeng's son Yan Huaide and the brothers of the primary school in the mansion as soon as they came in, and they heard the laughter of the room, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "What kind of happy event did you encounter?" Laughing like this? ”

"Father!"

Ye Shouzhi stood up wisely, regardless of his manners, he ran to the door with his skirt in spite of his manners, but he grabbed Ye Shouyi's sleeve and called out to the second brother happily, but his eyes were red, and Qingmei's face was full of surprise and strong attachment to the reunion.

Ye Shouyi was also a little emotional, stretched out his hand to help her walk that was a little crooked due to running, and sighed, "It's all grown so big!" ”

Ye Shouzhi's cheeks were slightly hot, and he let go of his sleeves and said, "Why did you grow so big!" Second brother, do you still think I am a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet? ”

Ye Shouyi laughed, "No, the second brother should have said this to his sister's daughter!" ”

Ye Qingshu's gaze couldn't help but fall on Ye Qingcheng, who was hanging his head and following Ye Shouyi's left.

In her previous life, if she hadn't been entrusted to her, many years later, Ye Qingcheng would have traveled thousands of miles to Shuzhong to see her, would there have been such a warm and beautiful scene?

Instead of making a bloody splash on the spot, it is difficult to die?

The surroundings were lively and noisy, but Ye Qingcheng, who had his head down, immediately noticed Ye Qingshu's gaze, looked up, and showed a shallow smile at her.

That smile was bright and warm, instantly dispelling the gloom in Ye Qingshu's heart, and Ye Qingshu couldn't help but smile at him.

The smile on the corner of Ye Qingcheng's mouth deepened, and he winked at her, then he still hung his head and stood up, and Ye Qingshu also lowered his head with a smile.

Old lady Ye joked, "Sister Zhi is really good with the second child, and when she saw the second child, even my father was thrown aside."

"Father!"

Ye Shouzhi stomped his feet in shame, vaguely still the arrogant and favored little girl back then.

Old Lady Ye also sighed very much, and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't make fun of you, let's all sit down."

After Old Lady Ye sat down, Ye Shouzhi respectfully kowtowed to Old Lady Ye three times, and saluted Ye Shouren and Ye Shouyi one by one, and Fang sat down with red eyes.

Ye Shouzhi's two daughters stepped forward to kowtow to Mrs. Ye and others, and Yan Huaide kowtowed to Pang Zi and others.

The brothers of the Ye Mansion went to see Ye Shouzhi, and the girls went to see Yan Kefeng again, and the elders all smiled and praised a few words, and gave them the meeting gifts one by one, and it took half an hour to recognize the person.

Old Lady Ye asked again, "What were you laughing at just now?" ”

Ye Shouzhi demonstrated the self-striking bell again, and Old Lady Ye and the others were also amazed.

Ye Shouzhi just gave the rest of the girls in the Ye Mansion a meeting gift, all of them are some strange playthings, which are difficult to see in Beijing, but they are not as good as the chiming bell given to Ye Qingshu, but no one said it clearly.

After recognizing his relatives, the time was almost up, Pang was about to order a meal, and the little maid ran to report that Ye Shouli was back, and he had already arrived at the city gate at this time.

Old Lady Ye was overjoyed, "Quick, ask the chief steward to pick it up in person, and you all go with me to greet you!" ”

Pang Zi looked dazzling, "He is a junior, and he will come back when he comes back, can he still let Lao Tzu and his brother pick him up?" What does it look like? ”

The smile on Old Lady Ye's face froze, and Ye Shouzhi hurriedly said, "I haven't seen the third brother for many years, it's good to see it for a while, father, I'll accompany you to pick up the third brother!" ”

Old Lady Ye coughed, "Don't show your face at your woman's house, let's come when we go."

Ye Shouren opened his mouth and said to Yan Kefeng, "Brother-in-law and Brother De'er have worked hard these days, don't run around with us, talk to your mother, Brother Wu, Brother Cheng, you stay and take care of it."

Ye Qingwu and Ye Qingcheng saluted, and Mrs. Ye took Ye Shouren, Ye Shouyi and other brothers out of Yangdeju.

Ruan Shi stood up and saluted, "Mother, the master is back, and the daughter-in-law will go back first to see if the yard has been tidied up."

Pang Zi waved his hand impatiently, and regardless of the presence of his son-in-law and grandson, he snorted, "It's just a concubine, and he has no chance, and he looks heavier than anyone else!" ”

Ruan's smile that had not yet retreated suddenly froze, his face was hot, and the Ye Qingyu sisters also lowered their heads in shame.

Ruan Shi subconsciously straightened his already straight back a little more, pretended not to hear, and retreated.

Ye Shouzhi was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Sister Wan, Sister Rou, didn't you say that you prepared a meeting gift for your cousins, why don't you take it out quickly?" ”

Ye Shouzhi gave birth to a son and two daughters, the eldest son Yan Huaide is seventeen years old this year and has already won the show, the eldest daughter Yan Huaiwan, and the second daughter Yan Huairou.

The little sisters chattered, and the awkward atmosphere in the room eased, and Pang Shi glared at Ye Shouzhi, who shook her arm coquettishly.

Pang Zi also smiled and asked about Ye Shouzhi's situation over the years.

After half an hour, Ye Shouli rushed back, kowtowed to Pang Zi, and hurriedly went back to the third room to bathe and change clothes.

In this way, it was already past noon, and Pang was afraid that Ye Shouzhi's mother and son would be hungry, so he ordered someone to serve refreshments early.

But the daughter and son-in-law came to the door for the first time in more than ten years, and at this time for lunch, it was still a concubine, Pang Zi was extremely impatient, and sneered, "He also went back to bathe and change clothes!" A big family is waiting for him! That's all there is to it when you come back! ”

Ye Shouzhi was very dissatisfied with his mother's rudeness, and he arranged the concubine like this in front of the juniors, so he had to help play the round again.

Fortunately, Ye Shouli moved quickly, and he came back before the two quarters of an hour arrived, and because he was in a hurry, his freshly washed hair was still dripping with water.

Ye Shouzhi said angrily, "What is the third brother doing in such a hurry?" No matter how anxious you are, this will wipe your hair for a while! How can I get cold when I run back and forth? Come on, hurry up and wait for the third master to dry his hair! ”

Ye Shouli waved his hand, "No need, it's not cold."

Ye Shouzhi wanted to say more, Pang Zi said with a calm face, "It's not early, let's set the meal, and if you toss it again, it's time to use it together for dinner!" ”

Ye Shouzhi had to smile helplessly, and the whole family moved to the flower hall for dinner.

It is rare for the Ye Mansion to gather so together, and there are four seats, and it is needless to say that there is no need to say that there is a lively and laughing atmosphere.

After the meal, everyone dispersed, Pang Shi instructed Ye Qingling to entertain Yan Huaiwan's sisters, Ye Qingwu to entertain Yan Huaide, and he pulled Ye Shouzhi to say nothing in his private room.
