Everyone in the room was stunned. Mrs. Lu smiled, lowered her head and picked up the teacup and took a sip. Wen Yi looked at Liu Dongxing and flattened his mouth.

This person had just returned home, and before he had even eaten a reunion dinner, the Bachelor's Mansion was about to call people away. Liu Dongxing doesn't have no home, and he still needs his clansmen to celebrate his achievements? I don't know what to do. Wen Yi was reluctant in her heart.

Liu Dongxing just smiled comfortingly at his wife, and casually ordered: "Who sent it?" Call him in. ”

It was a steward from the Bachelor's Mansion who came, and Wen Yi remembered that his name was Qi An, who was on an errand in the outer courtyard, and seemed to be quite reused. He looks ordinary, with a round face, thin eyebrows and fine eyes, a slightly short stature, stocky, plain dress, low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, giving people the feeling of honesty.

He entered the courtyard, but he didn't enter the house, he kowtowed outside the door, and said respectfully: "Little Qi An, I have seen the old lady of the in-laws, I have seen the uncle and the big milk." Our lord heard that Uncle Xing was back, very happy, and heard that Uncle Xing went with General Shangguan and General Ruan to see the Jin, so he specially sent someone to wait outside the palace, who knew that he had not waited to see people, and later heard that Uncle Xing had gone from another door, so he sent a small one to invite him. Uncle Xing has made military achievements in northern Xinjiang, and the saint will be rewarded soon, seeing that Uncle Xing has a bright future, our lord and wife are also happy for Uncle Xing. The old man said, this is a big joy for our Liu family, we must celebrate it well, put on the three-day wine, and have a good time. Because I thought that Uncle Xing's house was small and it was not good to hold a banquet and entertain guests, our lord and wife did it for Uncle Xing. Now the family has prepared a post, ready to invite relatives and friends in the capital to come over, just a detailed charter, but also to ask the uncle to discuss and decide, so let the little one come to invite the uncle and the big * milk to get together. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled lightly and said, "Lao Qi, you have also seen it, I have prepared wine and food at home, and I am about to have a reunion dinner, what kind of house will I live here?" I didn't have to scratch the second uncle and aunt. Go back and tell your second master, just say his old man's heart, I am the heart of the younger generation. I am just a small general, I obeyed the orders of my superiors, and fought a few victories in northern Xinjiang with my comrades, even if I have some small credit, I dare not shout all over the world. There is no need to celebrate or something, the will of the saint has not been issued for a day, how dare I be cheeky to mention a reward? ”

Wen Yi's heart was relieved, but she felt a little funny. Liu Dongxing's words seem to be very respectful on the surface, but in fact, every word is insinuating, satirizing Second Uncle Liu's family.

Na Qi An still had the same honest face: "Uncle Xing, your merits are known to everyone in the capital, why should you be modest?" My own family doesn't talk about those common rituals. If you don't want to be too public, and the little one doesn't dare to stop the master's interest, please go and tell the master by yourself. The old lady is also angry because of the younger generation, and she just hopes that there will be more people who know, so that everyone outside will know that the descendants of the Liu family are promising, but if you really don't want to do it, the old lady will also understand, the celebration banquet or something is easy to say, tonight first invite the uncle to come over and have this reunion dinner. The old lady hasn't seen Uncle Xing for half a year, and she misses it very much. It's all small, no, the old lady originally ordered the little one to come over earlier, the small legs and feet are slow, and they didn't arrive until this time, and the result was delayed. The old man said that he would invite the old lady of the in-laws, the uncle and the big * grandmother to go over for dinner. There are many people in the house, and the young masters, young grandmothers, and young ladies are all waiting, and the family is having a meal together, isn't it more lively than only three people here? Mrs. Fuli, the eldest young grandmother, and the eldest lady may not have seen the big * milk for a long time, and they are all looking forward to seeing each other. ”

Wen Yi smiled slightly and said, "That's really embarrassing, the second aunt wants to set up a banquet at home and invite our family over to eat, why don't you say hello in advance?" We didn't expect it, we just thought that Xianggong would return to his own home, so naturally he wanted to have a reunion dinner at home. The second uncle and the second aunt are of course well-intentioned, but this time is really too late, and after eating, it will be almost the time of curfew, what if we pass the house and can't come back? You can't disturb the second uncle and aunt, right? Xianggong has just returned from Northern Xinjiang, so naturally he wants to go back to his own family, they are all people who have been separated, how can they still be cheeky to occupy the place of their uncle and aunt? Steward Qi should go back, when we go back, we will inquire about the second uncle's leisure, and we will naturally come to the door to ask for peace. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled and continued: "That's exactly what I said. After all, I'm a person who has broken up the family, so why should I trouble my uncle and aunt? There is really no need to set up a banquet and entertain guests. I've been wounded on the battlefield, but I'm not yet well, and I've been on leave for the past few days, and I'm about to recuperate at home. When I am well raised, I will naturally go out to say hello to a few elders. After that, he ordered Shu Bo to send off the guests.

Qi An had to say more, but Shu Bo had already come over, and persuaded him to leave in a good voice, he was half-pulled and half-pushed down the steps, and he was about to be knocked out of the second door, so he only had time to shout: "Uncle Xing, Uncle Xing, Uncle Xing, are waiting for you in the mansion, whether you eat or drink, you should also tell the old lady in person, the old lady just misses you, I want to meet the juniors, there is no other meaning, how can you not even give this face?" You are so respectful to the old lady of your own family, why are you so cold to your own uncle? Uncle Xing, Uncle Xing......" was pulled out all the way shouting.

Wen Yi was annoyed when she heard this, so she asked Liu Dongxing, "What's the matter with this person?" looks honest, how can you talk so hatefully? ”

Old Madam Lu sneered: "This kind of person is called a simple face, with an honest face, in fact, he can't be tricky in talking and acting, and those who don't know are not wary, so they have to ask him to plot." You are young, you don't know how powerful, you should want to get it. If he is really an honest man, can Aunt Liu send him over to spread the word? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "I know this person, he is indeed a shrewd person with a hateful heart, and he only deceives people with one face." But no matter how shrewd he is, if I don't go, what else can he do? Leave him alone, let's have a reunion dinner by ourselves. Is the kitchen stocked with food and drinks? Hurry up and serve the food, I'm hungry, I'll talk about it when I'm done. ”

When Wen Yi heard him say this, she secretly glanced at Old Madam Lu, then gently pushed him and whispered, "Grandmother is still up there, why are you talking like this?" "Before Qi An came, Old Madam Lu was supposed to talk to him.

Liu Dongxing said lightly: "Your grandmother is the same as my own grandmother, why should your family pay so much attention?" In our own home, we naturally can say whatever we want, and we can do whatever we want, and we are not in the house over there, and we are limited everywhere, and we are uncomfortable. ”

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "This is right, that's it, nine girls, don't stop him, I finally went home, why do my family pay attention to so many vulgar etiquette?" ”

Wen Yi had to shut up and glanced at Liu Dongxing with disgust. Liu Dongxing raised his eyebrows and smiled smugly. Wen Yi bit her lip, turned her head to ignore him, and got up to help her grandmother.

Mrs. Lu supported her with one hand and Shi Nan with the other, got up and moved in the direction of the main house, and said, "The reunion dinner will naturally be eaten in the main house." Wen Yi hurriedly said: "Don't dare to work grandmother, why don't you eat in this house?" I've told the girls to get their towels ready. Old Madam Lu just waved her hand: "Nonsense, even if it is your own family, there are some rules that you still have to abide by." ”

Liu Dongxing said: "Don't go, I'm hungry, this delay, I don't know how long it will be delayed, my grandmother will hurt me." ”

Mrs. Lu was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, she still responded. Mama Zhao saw it outside the door, and hurriedly pulled Mama Shu and went to the kitchen to pass the meal together.

Wen Yi waited for her grandmother to sit down at the dinner table, turned around and glared at Liu Dongxing, and whispered: "It's all you, now my grandmother doesn't care about me anymore" Liu Dongxing smiled and quietly took her little hand, and also lowered his voice: "It doesn't matter, I can hurt you." Wen Yi's face turned red, and she secretly glanced at Mrs. Lu not far away, and saw her talking to Shi Nan with a calm smile, so she was ashamed to break away from his hand and ran to the other side to sit down. Liu Dongxing just smiled and sat down opposite her.

After a while, the food and drinks were delivered, and the three of them happily ate their meals. Mrs. Lu has always had the rule of not saying anything about food, but she didn't pay so much attention to it tonight, not only persuaded Liu Dongxing to eat more from time to time, but also asked Wen Yi to give him vegetables. Liu Dongxing stayed in northern Xinjiang for half a year, and most of the weekdays ate with the soldiers, naturally there was no etiquette at all, he was used to it, and he brought a few points out of the action, and the action was a lot rude. Wen Yi felt sorry for him suffering in northern Xinjiang, and didn't persuade him anymore, but just kept giving him food and telling him to drink less.

Liu Dongxing was half-full, his movements slowed down, and he said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't laugh at Dongxing, eat with a group of old and rough people in the north, if your movements are a little slower, all the good dishes will be robbed by others." If there is any rudeness, please take care of the elderly. ”

Mrs. Lu smiled: "Am I the kind of old-fashioned who only pays attention to the rules and doesn't know how to be flexible?" The frontier is hard, naturally it is not as comfortable as at home, you just have to choose what you like to eat, this is in your own home, not an outsider. He smiled and said to Wen Yi: "I thought that he was young, and he had always been Sven, in front of the soldiers, maybe he was stunned, and the people below still didn't know whether to accept him or not." As soon as he came back today, I saw him, and I thought he was much older than when he went out, and with this beard and this style, he was ten years older. Whoever says he doesn't look like a general, I'll be in a hurry with him."

Wen Yi knew the inside story of Liu Dongxing's beard, so she naturally quietly glanced at him again. Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "It's really called grandmother, your old man said, I grew this beard just for the town When I first arrived in Northern Xinjiang, my subordinates were all soldiers and oil, and I was familiar with the war, and my face was smooth, and as soon as I went out, others knew that I was a raw melon egg." Don't look at them in person, General Koyanagi, General Koyanagi shouted, behind the scenes, no one can afford me, whatever I order, they are dragging on and refusing to do, if I am annoyed, they will have countless reasons to justify, if it is to the top, the boss asks, counts down, and turns around and scolds me for being incompetent, unable to convince the public, but who can stand it? So I calmed down, saw the right time to clean them up, and then I won two battles, and with some credit, people also looked up to me, I grew this beard again, and when I saw my subordinates, I didn't smile, and bluffed people with a straight face, not to mention, they all said that I was full of momentum......"

Wen Yi and Mrs. Lu listened funny, and the latter nodded: "That's the truth, the person who leads the troops is too young, and people naturally have no bottom in their hearts, you have a beard, but you look heroic, just don't shave it in the future, but you have to trim and trim it slightly, don't be like now, eat and drink, and the soup and water are stained." ”

Wen Yi laughed again, and winked at Liu Dongxing: "Grandmother is right, can you hear it?" I'll shave you when I turn around," Liu Dongxing smiled and didn't insist any longer.

At the end of a meal, everyone eats to their heart's content. Wen Yi asked people to serve hot tea again, and ordered the girls and mothers-in-law to go down to eat, so that they didn't have to wait in front of them, and the three grandparents had to talk privately in one place. Mama Zhao happily took the girls and daughters-in-law down, Mama Shu was going to say something, but asked Uncle Shu to pull it, but Runxin came up to support her again, and had to leave. Hexiang smiled and lit the smoker in the house, letting the warm fragrance slowly emanate and drive away the cold in the house, while Qiuguo closed the door with his backhand and guarded the door after everyone had withdrawn.

In the house, Mrs. Lu opened her mouth first: "Just now, your second uncle sent someone to invite you, and it is right that you don't go." I only came back from the east, so I naturally wanted to go back to my own home. It's just that he is your elder in the end, Ming'er will take the nine girls over to ask for a goodbye, don't let outsiders gossip. ”

Wen Yi pursed her lips, a little reluctant in her heart, but she also understood that this was a courtesy, so she didn't say anything.

Liu Dongxing said lightly: "We won't go." If others like to gossip, let them go. I asked for a few more days off from General Shangguan on the pretext of recuperating from my injuries. If you want to recuperate from your injuries, you naturally can't run around. ”

Old Madam Lu was a little surprised: "This ...... If your second uncle and aunt are annoyed, they will ruin your reputation outside...... Why bother? It's just going through the motions, you're still young, and there's still a long way to go. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "Although I have just returned to the capital and don't know much about what happened in the capital, I also understand that the second uncle's promotion from a Shangshu to a university scholar is basically a bright rise and a secret descent." With his holy family, he will end up with such a result, he must have done something wrong and annoyed the saint, otherwise with his official position, why would he ask me for the good of a five-rank general? Maybe they're trying to do something with me. Why did I get used by him? If he really wants to ruin my reputation, let him be corrupted, I am also a descendant of the Liu family, and the future is good, if he dares to corrupt, the clan will definitely blame him. What's more, since he is not a saint, I turned my face with him, isn't it crooked? I used my own life to lay a foundation for the future, why should he be tired? ”

Mrs. Lu was dumbfounded, and there was some truth in thinking about it, but her reputation was not very good, so she could only say: "You can think about it before making a decision, the future is your own, but the reputation is fundamental, but don't ignore it because of a momentary anger." He quietly gave Wen Yi a look.

Wen Yi hesitated, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Xianggong wants to recuperate from his injuries, so naturally it is not good to come to the door." I'll have time another day, shall I go and say hello to my second uncle and aunt? Besides, if the prime minister gets the holy reward, he will always go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and since the second uncle is the head of the family, we should also say hello to him. Also, the second aunt also mentioned to me that day, the new daughter-in-law of the Liu family must visit the ancestral hall within three months, otherwise she will not be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family. Now that the fifth sister has been through the door for more than three months, if we go back, do we ask them if they want to go on the road together? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "That's a good thing, this kind of thing is naturally to be told to the second uncle." He squeezed his eyes. Wen Yi smiled knowingly...
