The mountain breeze blew through the forest, and occasionally a few fallen flowers fell between the convoys, causing the horses to snort loudly, and woke up the three of them, who were almost crying because of the joy of the reunion, and let go of each other's arms and smiled.

Bai Zhanpeng said with a smile, "I thought I could only see you when I got to the village, but I didn't expect to meet you first on the road." ”

The man in black had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide mouth and a straight nose, and his eyes were very bright, which made people look at it a warm and straightforward temperament, and at this time he also laughed and said, "I'll just say, Lord Yama won't accept Brother Zhao easily, we will finally meet again, and the three of us will have a good drink tonight!" ”

Zhao Fengnian took the excitement in his eyes, invited the two of them to get into the carriage, and the three of them sat down, and said with a smile, "Why did you come so fast, I thought it would take three or five days to arrive." ”

Bai Zhanpeng said with a smile, "When I received the letter, it happened that Third Brother Mu also arrived at my place, so he came together together. There is something trivial in Brother Tie's villa, and I am asked to bring you a letter, I am afraid that I will come a few days late. ”

Mu San looked Zhao Fengnian up and down carefully, and saw that he was wearing a silver headband, the gray protrusion was not inlaid with any gems, and the gown on his body was also very ordinary cotton sewn, and only a hollow chicken-hearted jade pendant was tied on his waist.

No wonder, every time he mentioned the conversation along the way, Bai Zhanpeng was embarrassed, but he didn't see a trace of embarrassment on Second Brother Zhao's face, his eyebrows were less arrogant and sharp, more than three points peaceful, seven points open-minded, as if the manic ocean was covered under the night, which made people feel happy for no reason, "Second brother, Fourth Brother Bai said that you have worked hard, and this time I will transport all the things in the south of the city to you." However, now that I see it, I feel that the second brother looks much better. ”

Zhao Fengnian guessed that Bai Zhanpeng must have described his days as unbearable last time he left, raised his eyebrows and glared at him, and said, "The days in the mountains are always a little less noisy than in the city, and the mood is naturally lighter." If you can leave behind those flower-like couples, stay here for a few more days. ”

Mu San hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and said with a smile, "Brother just caught a hot girl a few days ago, if I wasn't thinking about the second brother, now I'm afraid that we will all swim in the rivers and lakes together with a sword, the second brother don't mistake me, at most half a month, seeing that the second brother has detoxified, I will leave." ”

Zhao Fengnian shook his head helplessly, this brother is righteous and hearty, and his temperament is excellent, but the problem of being beautiful can never be changed, but fortunately, he is affectionate and not abusive, but he has not provoked countless women to chase and kill, and his life is still happy.

The three of them gossiped all the way, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village. The villagers in the village, when they came back from the fields, were gathering under the big trees at the head of the village, talking about the rain, talking about the number of seedlings, and waiting for the mother-in-law to call, and then go back to eat. Suddenly, a team of carriages stepped on the scorching sun at noon, coming from afar, they were all extremely surprised, the children's eyes were sharp, and they recognized that the carriage that was the head was the Zhao family, and they all jumped up and ran forward.

Gao Fuquan was afraid that the carriage would touch them, so he took out a packet of sesame candy tablets from the small basket beside him, handed it to an older child who was the first to do so, and said with a smile, "Go to the house to report a message, just say that Mr.'s friend is here, let everyone prepare to unload the car." ”

The eldest child answered loudly, and took a group of children to run to Zhao's house in the back street, and everyone under the tree greeted Gao Fuquan, and watched them turn the corner with envy in their eyes.

The strong son of the third master of Yun's family, who happened to be in the crowd, saw the big carriage full of things, his eyes were red with jealousy, and he couldn't help but say, "The Zhao family is now developed, and the Gao family and the Zhang family are not in vain, and they will become rich in the future." ”

An old man squatting next to him is Yun Xiaoliu's father, according to his seniority, Yun Qiang wants to call the sixth uncle, and he can't listen to what he says, so he naturally wants to distinguish a few words for the Zhao family, "The Zhao family was in trouble at the beginning, but the Gao family and the Zhang family helped a lot, and now that the family is developed, it is natural to bring these families, this is Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao have affection, but it is not something that can come out and talk about it." I just want us to farm, but we don't contribute in spring and summer, and we envy others in autumn to collect grain. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he knocked the tobacco bag pot twice on the big stone beside him, wrapped the small cloth bag containing tobacco leaves, and slowly returned home with his back hand.

Yun Qiang's face was red and white when he was sarcastic, and he said embarrassedly, "Sixth uncle, this is because the son of the family has made more money, and his waist is also tough." ”

The people next to him also looked down on him in their hearts, so they said, "Xiaoliu is now doing things in the workshop, not to mention the monthly salary of 800 yuan, only eating in the workshop in the morning and afternoon, how much rations have been saved for the family, a few days ago, I also sent cloth to make clothes, and there are festivals and red envelopes on the New Year's Day. Listen, this kid has a plan. ”

"No, if the daughter-in-law really enters the Zhao family, the couple's monthly salary will be enough to support the family and live a prosperous life."

After everyone talked for a while, they all dispersed, and the family went to eat, leaving Yun Qiang who couldn't help it, and secretly ran to the end of the back street to take a few looks, and then returned to his house dejectedly.

Zhang Dahe and others received the children's news, called Cui Niang to go to the back house to reply, and then received the door, Zhao Fengnian jumped out of the car, Mu San recognized the old man sitting on the recliner drinking tea under the big tree opposite, it was the strange doctor who could not be found all over the rivers and lakes, and immediately pulled two handfuls of clothes, followed Zhao Fengnian and walked over, saluting respectfully, "I have seen Senior An." ”

Amber squinted his small eyes, looked at them one by one, glared at them and said angrily, "Zhao family boy, didn't you take the two concubines into the city to go to another Anwai house, why did you come back so early, but I heard that Xue Yatou was going to make xiaolongbao, and she came back to grab food with my old man?" You didn't come back by yourself, but you brought two more people back? ”

Bai Zhanpeng and Mu San had only met Amber once by chance at a martial arts conference before, but they had never dealt with each other on weekdays, only according to the rumors in the rivers and lakes, the strange doctor should be as his name, and his temper was strange and unreasonable.

Zhao Fengnian didn't dare to take this big hat, and immediately retorted with a bitter face, "The seniors can't say that, they were listened to by Ruixue, I'm afraid that I will be angry for a few days, where do I dare to enter the Cheng'an Outer House, I sold those two women, and the seniors will say a few words for me in front of Ruixue for a while." The younger generation also hid a 30-year-old lotus white, and immediately moved it out, and asked the seniors to evaluate one or two, how about it? ”

Amber immediately smiled and squinted, got up and shook his sleeves, and said with a smile, "Count your kid with a lot of eyes, okay, the old man will accompany you to eat and drink today, and the snow girl will look at my face, and she will not be hungry for the two of them from afar." ”

Zhao Fengnian is like a mirror in his heart, Rui Xue is not such an ignorant person, even if she is angry, she will definitely not lose face in front of her friends, but with the mediation of the old-timer Amber, the idleness of the two will disappear faster. So, I gladly invited Amber into the courtyard and went to the study to sit together.

Zhang Dahe took everyone in the workshop to be busy for a long time, and then moved more than a dozen large boxes in the carriage to the backyard warehouse, and was so happy that Cui Niang smiled, opened them one by one and looked at them, and knew it in his heart, so he locked the warehouse door, ran to the stove, and said with a smile, "My sister has made a fortune, and my husband's friend sent more than a dozen large boxes, which are full of medicinal herbs, cloth and various decorations, and they are all good things." ”

Ruixue patted the flour off her hand and asked, "Is there a woman's use in it?" ”

"Of course there is, there are quite a few, rouge gouache, jewelry, and plain brocade, accounting for seven or eight boxes."

Rui Xue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Bai Zhanpeng was scolded, but he has a long memory, so let's treat him as a guest this time." After speaking, he called Caiyun to bring out the meat, fish and other things hanging in the well, weighed and made a few good dishes, and steamed four drawers of chicken soup xiaolongbao, then took off the apron, freshened up again, and asked Cui Niang to take pomegranate and Yingzi to send the mat to the study in the front yard.

Caiyun had heard that the last time the master's friends came, they complained that Mrs. was not worthy of the master, so this time she made up her mind to dress up her husband well. hugged all the clothes in the box and came out, picking them left and right, but unfortunately, Ruixue likes plain colors on weekdays, and there are few gorgeous and glamorous ones in the clothes, which makes her have a headache and has no clue.

Ruixue was funny, and when Caiyue combed her hair, she picked up a set of water-green ordinary cotton skirts with a silver-white purse.

Caiyun was busy helping to tidy up the corners of her skirt, and complained, "Madam, tomorrow the slave maid will make you a few sets of brocade dresses, there are guests at home, or it is easy to wear when you go out, Madame's clothes are too plain." ”

Rui Xue knocked on her head and said with a smile, "I was originally a peasant woman, I can dress as comfortable as I want on weekdays, do I still have to wear brocade to the stove and go to the vegetable garden?" A well-meaning person, even if I dress like a beggar, will not be disdainful, and if I look down on my origin, even if I wear beautiful clothes, people will not look down on me. Got it? ”

Caiyun tilted her little head and thought about it, nodded half-understandingly, but Caiyue had a straight temper, clenched her small fist and said, "This is our house, whoever dares to look down on Madame, I will beat him out with a big broom." ”

The little girl's little face was bulging, and her face was resolute, which made Rui Xue laugh, Wu Yu was coming in from outside, and when she heard her sister laughing, she said, "Sister, what did you do today, I'm hungry." ”

Rui Xue shook her head and said angrily, "You kid, where did you go to play all morning?" The chicken soup xiaolongbao was steamed in the stove, you go to eat two to cushion your stomach first, and your sister will go to the front yard and come back to set the table immediately. ”

Wu Yu responded and helped his sister go out, one of the sisters and brothers went to the front yard, and the other went into the stove.

Zhao Fengnian saw that Cui Niang's banquet was very rich, and he heard that it was made by Rui Xue himself, and he was very happy in his heart, Rui Xue also took care of his face, naturally he still had him in his heart, and now he sold those two culprits, and he coaxed two more sentences at night, and this matter was revealed.

Thinking like this, his brows relaxed, and with a smile on his face, he poured wine for the two brothers and Amber, talking about the recent affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the pleasure of traveling in all directions with a sword in the past, which was really lively and joyful.
