Because of the old man's illness, it worsened. So many things on Chinese New Year's Eve are simple.

This year's reunion dinner. The third master of the Liu family and Liu Yanxiang are missing. As for Deng Ning. Liu Qi went to pick it up. Deng Ning had wanted to come back a long time ago. Just owe one down the stairs. Now Liu Qi personally came to pick her up. She took Joe for a moment. packed up his things and left for Liu Qi.

Before leaving. Liu Qi took Deng Ning to thank Wang Xiangjun. Wang Xiangjun told Liu Qi to take care of Deng Ning for a good life. Take out a piece of clothing. said that Deng Ning did it for him when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Liu Qi was a little moved. But when he looked at Deng Ning's somewhat surprised look. knew that Wang Xiangjun was just trying to help Deng Ning say good things. This garment. It wasn't Deng Ning who did it.

But Liu Qi has also matured a lot. He's not a little broken. Just smile and thank you. Leaving with Deng Ning.

After the two left. Wang Xiangjun's maidservant asked, "Miss." The clothes are clearly made by you for the prime minister. Why did you say that it was given to the sixth master by Miss Deng. ”

Wang Xiangjun leaned obliquely on the chaise longue. sighed: "Although Liu Qi is young and vigorous. But it's a good husband. Ning'er is not sensible. I don't know how to cherish yet. I'm a righteous sister. Just give her a hand. ”

"Miss is so good to Miss Deng." The maidservant said softly.

There was a light smile on the corner of Wang Xiangjun's mouth. "Hmm. She's my sister. I should be nice to her. ”

The maidservant smiled, "That's right." The righteous sister is also a younger sister. And Xiangye also loves Miss Deng very much. ”

Wang Xiangjun was silent.

The reunion dinner is ready. But the butler came to report that the old man had not woken up yet. Yan Hui ordered someone to heat the meal first. Wait for the old man to wake up before eating.

Liu Qin sat in the main hall. Look at this big man. He sighed and said, "This year's Chinese New Year's Eve." It was the quietest and most peaceful year. ”

Everyone was stunned. I can't help but think back to the reunion dinner of previous years. There was a lot of commotion. It's either that you mean me a few words, or that I scold you clearly. -for-tat. Swords come and go.

Everyone sat with their hearts and minds. Yin Le sat on the chair. Shoutou sat on a small stool. He had a cold a few days ago. It's not good yet. So he put his head on Yin Le's thigh. Have a drowsy look.

He looked up. "Sister. My head is a little confused. ”

Yin Le was slightly stunned. "How confused the head. It's an uncomfortable head. ”

Shoutou rubbed his eyes. "I don't know why I'm confused. It's just that when you think about things, it's a mess. ”

Yin Le reached out and touched his head. Taken aback. His head was hot. Hurriedly hugged his face and said, "You have a fever." ”

"I know." Shoutou smiled confusedly. "Sister. I see you have four eyes. Two mouths ..... "The words are not finished." People are crooked. And he fell.

Mo Yan hurriedly rushed out to ask for a doctor. Liu An stepped forward and picked up Shoutou and ran back to the room. Everyone also hurriedly followed over to check.

Yin Le stood in the main hall in a daze. Looking at the concerned looks on everyone's faces. Whether it's pretending or being sincere. She was inexplicably moved at the moment. 】

Deng Ning stood behind Yin Le. He looked at her with some resentment. Of course, she wasn't so stupid. will take the initiative to come forward and tease the lioness. She was right to Yin Le. Resentment. A little more scared.

Lin Haihai is here. Prescribed medicine for Shoutou. Xiaoxiang took advantage of the old man's wake-up yet. Go down immediately and decoct the medicine.

Near-unitary time. The old man slowly woke up. He saw that it was dark outside. The candle with the thick arm was burning. The charcoal in the charcoal tray is crackling. He shouted. "Little bamboo."

The little boy and the little bamboo hurriedly came over. Said softly, "Old lady." You're awake. ”

"Hmm. What time has it been? "The old man felt better. Hold on to the edge of the bed and get up. Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. "Be careful. It's unitary time. Everyone is waiting for you to have a reunion dinner. ”

The old man's spirits suddenly lifted. He smiled and said, "Quick." Fetch water to wash my face. Help me bring me the new clothes that my grandmother made for me. ”

After the little bamboo helped him. So he went out and called for men to come in and serve.

The butler also returned. He rubbed his hands together and said, "It's snowing." Old gentleman. Add an extra fox fur coat. The five masters all fell ill. You have to pay attention. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment. He looked a little nervous. "Sick. Did you ask for a doctor? How is the situation. ”

"The doctor has been here. It's much better now. The butler stepped forward to wait for the old man to dress. He put on a fox fur. Laughed. "Tonight we have your favorite braised pork and stewed soft-shelled turtle. The fifth grandmother has been stewing in the kitchen for a long time. ”

The old man seemed very happy. Touching his stomach and said, "That's good." I'm hungry. ”

"Of course I'm hungry. You've been eating white porridge for the past few days. The butler said with pity.

The old man snorted. Reached out and touched his hair. I sat down in front of the bronze mirror again and took a photo. "My hair is gray. I really can't find a single black hair. ”

"Just dye it." The butler laughed. "Look. My hair is half gray. Anyway. There will always be gray hair. ”

"Speaking of dyeing your hair. No one can match your grandmother's dexterity. Back in the day. She didn't see a few gray hairs in me. Zhang Luo said that he was going to dye me. The old man said with a smile.

"That's it. Speaking of ingenuity. Which is better than the old lady. The butler lifted the old man up. He smiled and said, "Let's go." Everyone is in a hurry. After eating. I have to come back and get a red envelope. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Is this year the same as in previous years? a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Hmm. Do as you wish. This year, it doesn't matter if it's a little girl or a girl. They are all treated the same as their masters. "The old man seemed to be in a good mood. Tell the butler as you go.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment. "This. Not so good. There are so many people in this house. One hundred and twenty-one. It costs a lot of silver. ”

The old man waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. Anyway. They have also been tired for a year. Later. I have to rely on them to take care of the people behind me. ”

The butler hurriedly snorted twice. "What do you say? What the people behind you. Nonsense. That's it. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. You can't say any more. ”

The old man only laughed silently.

The group passed through the account room. The octagonal wind lanterns in the cloister were blown to the north by the north wind. Small bamboo with sharp eyes. I saw two black shadows flashing in the bookkeeper. He exclaimed, "There are thieves." ”

Approaching the end of the year. Many thieves came out. This Liu Mansion has also been patronized by thieves before.

This kind of hairy thief is generally timid. Entering the door is just asking for money. I'll be gone if I intimidate.

Xiao Zhuzi rushed in with two little guys. While rushing, he shouted: "Where did the thief come from?" Dare to steal to Liu's mansion. ”

There was a commotion in the bookkeeper. Two men in black rushed out. The housekeeper carried the wind lamp and shone it for a while. Lost his voice and said, "It's you." ”

The two men in black rushed through the door in a panic and fled. It's just that there are guards in the corridor over there who hear the movement. I led people over. They hurried away. The butler stepped forward to stop him. The two men sideways to dodge. It crashed into the old man next to him. The old man was already weak. I was hit by the man in black. The whole ground fell to the ground. He reached out and grabbed the hem of one of the men in black. "Don't go."

The man's footsteps faltered. Another man in black turned around and said angrily, "Look at what." Don't go yet. He said. He reached out and pulled the man. In a panic, the man stepped on the old man's body and passed by. The old man screamed. The two men didn't look back. Run to the back door.
