Wang Chengde's home is in the alley behind the courtyard of the Wang family's house, which is a very regular small courtyard, with three main rooms, two left and right wings, and an old peach tree with fallen leaves on the side of the well in the courtyard.

Mrs. Zhou told Lan Yi and Zheng for a long time before taking the carriage back to the Wang family's house. Zheng beckoned Lan Yi to take the two children to the house and sit down, at this time the sky had already darkened, and the main hall under the light was warm and peaceful.

Wang Chunrong boiled hot water and brought it in, and Wang Chengde instructed: "You go to South Hutong and invite your big brother Dao Wufeng over." ”

As soon as Wang Chunrong heard that his father was going to invite Dao Wufeng, he immediately understood, he looked at Chuntao and the child and said, "Dad, do you want to invite Brother Dao to come over and protect the young master?" ”

"Yes. Go ahead, and buy two roast geese from the shop at the entrance of the alley. ”

Wang Chunrong left in response, and his steps were very cheerful.

Zheng asked with some concern: "Wu Feng looks vicious, aren't you afraid that he will collide with the young master?" ”

Lan Yi asked curiously, "Dad, mother, who is Dao Wufeng?" ”

Wang Chengde said with a smile: "He is a friend of the rivers and lakes that my father met in prison, although he looks vicious and doesn't like words, but he is very righteous and skillful, and he is in Dingbao that the young master is safe and sound." If the thief doesn't come, he will not return, but if he comes, he will not return! ”

Zheng stood up, thought for a while and said, "Tao'er, you take the young master and Yu'er Dao Xiwu to rest, and my mother will go to fry two dishes." Don't drink today, right? You don't drink less during the day, and if you have to keep vigil at night, you're afraid of making a mistake when you drink. ”

Wang Chengde knew that Zheng was worried about his body, so he responded in a low voice.

Lan Yi stood up with the two children: "Mother, I'll help you cook the dishes." I brought a lot of mountain goods from Beigou Village to try them for my parents. ”

Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not possible, how can you let the young master enter the back kitchen, besides, Tao'er is tired at the end of the day today, you have a good rest, and my mother will get it right soon." ”

Lan Yi looked at the baby and had to nod helplessly.

Dao Wufeng soon followed Wang Chunrong to come, and when they entered the hall, Lan Yi saw Dao Wufeng's appearance through the curtain and almost laughed.

Dao Wufeng is tall, with dark skin, beard, a pair of blazing tiger eyes, and a two-inch-long scar under his right eye that looks a little hideous.

If there was no scar on his face, Dao Wufeng and Zhou Weiji would be very imaginary, and the two children would definitely not be afraid of him like this.

Sure enough, Yu'er's eyes lit up when he saw Dao Wufeng's beard, and the baby looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Mother, Tuesday Uncle ......"

Lan Yi said in a low voice: "Good, this is not Uncle Zhou, this is Uncle Dao." ”

"Oh, Uncle Knife." As soon as the baby spoke, he opened the curtain and ran out, followed by Yu'er. Lan Yi brushed her forehead, not knowing if she should also go out, at this moment Wang Chengde said: "Wufeng, this is Young Master Wenxuan who has just returned home, and this is Yu'er, the adopted son of the little girl Chuntao." ”

Dao Wufeng nodded, he looked down at the two white and lovely children standing in front of him, there was no fear in their eyes that no one else saw him, but their faces were full of admiration and closeness, which was rarely seen, Dao Wufeng raised his eyebrows.

Wang Chengde said again: "Tao'er, come out, Wufeng is not an outsider." ”

Lan Yi listened to the curtain and came out, Dao Wufeng turned his head, and a little person as pink as a peach blossom flashed under the warm light, looking at herself with a pair of watery eyes and a smile, and there was no trace of disgust and fear in her eyes, which made people look very warm.

"Big Brother Knife."

"Uncle Dao is good." The two children shouted in unison with their mothers, and the sugar content was definitely six stars.

Dao Wufeng thought that these three little people were neat, and he couldn't help but pull out a smile in response: "Well, congratulations Uncle De." ”

Wang Chengde stroked his beard lightly and smiled: "It can be regarded as a bittersweet come, and Wufeng sits quickly." ”

Wang Chunrong invited Dao Wufeng to sit at the table of the Eight Immortals, Zheng came in with food, and Dao Wufeng stood up: "There is Aunt Lauder." ”

"Wufeng, when you get here, you're home, you're welcome, hurry up and sit down." Zheng turned around to fetch the food, and Wang Chunrong sat down with Dao Wufeng again, filling Wang Chengde and Dao Wufeng.

Lan Yi couldn't help but persuade when she saw it: "Dad, you're not in good health, let's drink a few less." ”

Wang Chunrong put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Little sister, although you can't remember the past, this temperament has not changed at all." ”

Dao Wufeng listened to the action for a moment, and turned his head to look at Lan Yi.

Wang Chengde smiled proudly: "It's still Tao'er who feels sorry for her father, how can you be like a bastard, you know how to mess around." ”

Lan Yi was a little stunned and weak-hearted, she was not a spring peach, how could she have a spring peach's temperament: "Yu'er, baby, you sit obediently and don't make trouble, my mother will help grandma serve food." ”

The two children nodded, climbed onto the stool between Wang Chunrong and Dao Wufeng, sat down, and looked left and right.

Lan Yi went to the kitchen, Zheng was making soup, so she naturally sat down to help her light the fire.

"Young Master Wenxuan and Yu'er are both very timid, and the tiger of your Shaohua brother's family next door cried when he saw Wufeng for the first time."

The appearance of Dao Wufeng is a bit bluffing, but they have been neighbors with Zhou Weiji for a long time, and in the eyes of the two children, his beard only represents heroism, how can he be afraid?

"Brother Tuesday used to have such a big beard, and the two children don't feel scared when they get used to it."

When Zheng heard her daughter naturally mention Zhou Weiji, she was stunned, hesitating whether to mention Zhou Weiji and her daughter to her husband.

Lan Yi didn't think much about it, and then asked, "Mother, how did Brother Dao meet his father?" ”

"When your father and your eldest brother were first imprisoned, they suffered a little. The prisoners in the same prison bullied the newcomers, but fortunately, Wu Feng couldn't see it and supported your father and eldest brother, those people didn't dare to go too far, and after your father was released, he wanted to ask someone to save him. ”

Lan Yi nodded, this is the friendship of tribulation, no wonder Wang Chengde's family treats Dao Wufeng so closely.

"What did Brother Dao do and be pressed into prison?"

Zheng shook his head and said with some doubts: "Your father didn't say it, but he said that Dao Wufeng is a good person." "Zheng's family takes her husband as the sky, and she believes whatever Wang Chengde says.

Lan Yi and Zheng returned to the hall with a few bowls of hot soup, and saw that Wang Chunrong handed the two children some barbecued meat, and he himself ate it with relish, the two little ones had already eaten and were not hungry. Seeing Lan Yi come in, the baby raised the goose leg in his hand and said, "Mother eat." ”

Lan Yi shook her head, and Yu'er said proudly: "It's not as delicious as the duck roasted by the mother, and the third uncle said that the duck roasted by the mother is better than the largest restaurant in the capital." ”

Wang Chunrong asked curiously, "Which is the third uncle?" ”

Lan Yi smiled: "It is my righteous brother who I recognized in Beigou Village, and he is the master of Yixue in the village. I raised a hundred ducks on the hillside, and sometimes I caught a few and roasted them, and told my eldest brother in detail. ”

Lan Yi followed Zheng to the West House couch to rest, and the few people who ate in the hall were Wang Chunrong who talked the most, Wang Chengde only occasionally said a few words, and Dao Wufeng only responded a few times from beginning to end. Yu'er and the baby gradually began to make love with their little uncle, Yu'er even took on the posture of a big child, chatting with Wang Chunrong in style, and did not forget to take care of his younger brother from time to time.

Inside the house, Zheng was also amused by the innocent words of the two children, and Lan Yi smiled softly. Yu'er, the child is very sensitive, he can feel that Wang Chengde's family loves and accepts him, so he gradually lets go here, showing the child's nature.

"Peach, come, this is your previous jewelry, my mother will put it on for you." Zheng Shi opened the drawer of the mahogany kang cabinet, Lan Yi looked at the dozen pieces of red, green and green jewelry in a daze, she hurriedly said: "Mother, my daughter is already very good like this, besides, it's night, and I have to take it off if I wear it." Why does my daughter have so much jewelry? ”

When Zheng heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Silly girl, this is too much!" Your jewelry lady in the courtyard of the Wang family was not saved, and was looted by a few maids under the second lady in various names, and these pieces were kept by you at home. ”

Thinking of the second lady Tian's bright and sparkling outfit, Lan Yi remembered what Xia Wan said, and took the opportunity to ask: "Mother, today my daughter went to see Mrs. Mi, she said that a few days ago, the second lady came to visit her with a painting, and Mrs. Mi said that the painting should be the eldest lady's thing." ”

Zheng frowned and sighed after hearing this, "I'm afraid that the things in the eldest lady's treasury will be emptied by the second lady." ”

"Could it be that the second lady can't hold the key to the eldest lady's treasury?"

Zheng shook his head and said hatefully: "It's not true, it's just that the mother-in-law who manages the treasury of the big house is just currying favor with the second lady, and there are not many valuable things in the lady's treasury, and the calligraphy and paintings given to the eldest lady by the uncle are worth more, and their courage is getting fatter and fatter!" Waiting for the mother to return to the old lady tomorrow, I will make these mothers-in-law look good! ”

However, how can they be "good-looking"? Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, even if the baby's return and Wang Chengde's release from prison have brought some temperature to the big house, but it still takes a lot of effort to reverse the disadvantage.

"By the way, Tao'er, do you think Mrs. Mi is in good spirits?" Zheng suddenly changed the topic and asked about Xia Wan's situation.

Lan Yi was stunned for a moment and replied: "It's good, Xiao Jinbao is also chubby and cute, what happened to Mrs. Mi?" ”

"Master Mi's concubine room added a concubine to him, who would have thought that after the child finished the full moon last month, he had a strange illness in a good manner, and everyone said that Mrs. Mi couldn't tolerate the concubine to be the same age as her son, and secretly killed her. The concubine in that room made a lot of trouble, and Lord Mi also made trouble with her, which added a lot of blockages to Mrs. Mi. In fact, the mother looked at Mrs. Mi's temperament very similar to that of the eldest lady, not so ruthless, and the child's death must have nothing to do with her. ”

After Zheng finished speaking, Lan Yi couldn't help frowning. Thinking of the cry she heard when she left Mifu today, it seems that it must have been caused by that little concubine, as a mother, Lan Yi can understand her pain of losing her child.

But thinking back on the undulating cry, Lan Yi didn't feel that there was much sadness in the cry, but it made people feel bored. R1152
