The family banquet in the evening was held in the main hall of Shenghua-in.

Because it was already dark when he was talking in the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, when Xiao Yan bathed and changed his clothes and went to the grandmother's courtyard to knock on the peace and then came to the banquet hall with the fourth brother, the house had already beaten a drum, and it was almost time, and this dust-washing banquet was of course not a serious banquet of eight hundred, it was equivalent to a night supper. There are only a few small dishes and porridge on the table, and it looks like a rather simple dust-washing feast. Xiao Yu smiled, his usual majestic color was less than three points, he looked kind and kind, and said: "Tonight, I will simply welcome Seventeen home, your brothers and sisters will get close first, and there will be a family banquet tomorrow." ”

All the juniors straightened up, picked up three glasses of wine, and washed Xiao Yan's dust.

Because it is a simple banquet, in addition to his parents, only the fourth brother Xiao Cong and Xiao Se and Xiao Long are two younger sisters, the eldest sister Xiao Ke has been married, and the second brother Xiao Zhang did not attend - Xiao Yan knew it in his heart.

Although there were few people, the banquet was joyful, especially the twenty-fifth sister Xiao Long was so happy and lively, and she laughed and talked all night, until it was close to the child, and the banquet was dispersed.

The brothers and sisters said goodbye to their parents, and after they came out, the two younger sisters left together, Xiao Long pounced on Xiao Yan and hugged Xiao Yan before leaving, with a reluctant expression, "Brother Seventeen, we'll see you tomorrow." I don't know how "brother and sister" she and Xiao Yan are, but Xiao Cong and Xiao Se don't know her character, their twenty-fifth sister is a face-seeker!

Xiao Se is thirteen years old this year, she doesn't look as beautiful and graceful as her mother Gao, her facial features are bright, although she has not yet grown, she can already imagine the future peony country, but she is somewhat similar to the eldest princess of Anping. Xiao Yan really likes this kind of generous girl, not to mention her own sister, smiled and helped her to pounce on her, and said, "Okay." He turned his head to look at Xiao Se, the twenty-first sister who was standing indifferently next to him, and said to the two younger sisters, "I brought you a gift, it's too late today, and I will send someone to your courtyard tomorrow." ”

"Ah, that's great! I can't wait, I want to know what Brother Seventeen will give me! Ahhh Xiao Long took her arm and cheered.

Xiao Se only had a bland sentence, "Thank you, Brother Seventeen." ”

Xiao Yan knew that this twenty-first sister had always been indifferent, and she was like this to her biological mother Liu, so she smiled and said: "There is a lot of scenery between heaven and earth, and the twenty-first sister should look at the scenery more." "There is always beauty in this world that can make you linger and find life interesting.

Xiao Se glanced at her in surprise, bowed slightly, didn't say much, saluted the two brothers, and left with Xiao Long, who turned back a few steps.

Xiao Yan first sent the fourth brother back to Heng'an Hospital, the Qingning Courtyard where she lived was in the same direction as the Heng'an Courtyard, but it was a little detour to go to Heng'an Courtyard, which was certainly not a problem for Xiao Yan, I hadn't thought about it for a long time, and the brother and sister also wanted to talk more. Xiao Yan remembered that Xiao Se should be seventeen years old this year, so he cared: "Twenty-one sister can have a relationship?" "I'm so bland, I'm afraid I don't have anyone I like.

Xiao Cong sighed a little and said, "Not yet." "It's not that there are no people in the picture, there are many people who want to climb the Liangguo Mansion, even if Xiao Se's temperament is not suitable for marrying a wife, honoring her in-laws, and serving her husband, but with the momentum of the Xiao family, even if she is a concubine, it is not difficult for her to marry a husband who is both talented and beautiful, the key is that his sister has no intention of getting married at all, maybe she will become a monk when she starts to get marriedhttp://.5./books/3/3790/

The president of the underworld is the only one who favors his little wife. Xiao Cong explained the situation and said with a wry smile: "My father is going to die of sorrow." ”

Xiao Yan comforted: "Life has its own fate. Maybe the twenty-first sister hasn't found what she likes. "People are either mediocre in life, or they have their own ideals, Xiao Se will always find her own path, as for whether she gets married or not, Xiao Yan feels that it doesn't matter. As A-Niang said, "Life is to live with taste". As for how to have a taste, that is the pursuit of people themselves. Xiao Yan's eyes were bright under the moon, and she said with a smile: "When the twenty-first sister clarifies what she wants to pursue, her life will not be so bland." ”

Xiao Cong sat on the rattan chair and muttered for a while, and said, "You still see it thoroughly." ”

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, "Father and fourth brother also care about the twenty-first sister. ”

"Yes, parents always expect their children to have their own home." Xiao Cong sighed, and looked at his sister with a smile, "Ah Yan has a favorite person?" ”

Xiao Yan cast a true qi barrier and said, "I won't think about this matter until that thing is done. ”

Of course, Xiao Cong knew that "that incident" referred to Murong Jue's ruthless Dao cultivation.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, "Then the time is available...... It's been a long time. ”

Who knows when Murong Jue's Ruthless Dao will be cultivated? Isn't Ah Yan being dragged along?

Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Don't worry." Anyway, I'm still young, so it's okay to wait ten or twenty years. ”

Ten years, twenty years......

Xiao Cong's eyebrows tightened.

Although the meaning of his father's words is that Seventeen is not in a hurry to get married, if he likes women, it is best to mention it when he enters the congenital, but as a brother, Xiao Cong of course still hopes that his sister will have a person who knows the warmth and cold as soon as possible - no matter how close his parents and brother are, he is always not as good as his partner who will take care of him sooner or later.

Xiao Yan thought that the fourth brother was worried about her marriage, and comforted her with a smile: "I have at least two hundred years of life, and even if I am forty years old, I am still a young man, fourth brother, you don't have to worry." ”

Xiao Cong put down his thoughts for the time being, thinking that Xiao Yan was worried about Murong Jue Dao again, what if something went wrong, Ah Yan was emotional? Isn't this harming Ayan? But he couldn't blame her, so he could only sigh: "You have a deep affection for your friends." "My sister has such a good character, but she is too affectionate, and she may fold herself in, Xiao Cong hopes that Xiao Yan will be less affectionate for a while-but is this still the seventeen he likes?

Xiao Yan said in a clear voice: "Although there are many relatives in the world, there are only a few who have a deep and unswerving relationship. Although there are many friends in the world, they can live and die in hardships, but there are even fewer who join hands to become partners. Whether it is relatives or friends, when you encounter something worth cherishing, you must protect it wholeheartedly. She looked at Xiao Cong, "My fourth brother and I have become siblings, this is fate and luck, and love will last a lifetime." "In my heart, you are my brother.

"Okay." Xiao Cong's heart stirred, and he raised his hand and pressed it on his sister's shoulder.

Unswervingly, this is the love of our brothers and sisters.

Xiao Yan cared about his body, Xiao Cong smiled: "It's a lot stronger." Every morning, I have to walk around the garden ten times, and I can also play a complete health boxing. Plus your fourth sister-in-law, oh no, it should be your sister Shen, the diet recipe given to condition the body, after three years, I feel like I can fly. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but Xiao Cong's body is indeed getting healthier and healthier, which can be seen just from the ruddy complexion.

Speaking of Shen Qingyi, Xiao Yan's expression was slightly different, and he was surprised: "The fourth brother and sister have already ...... and left?" Otherwise, how could the fourth brother say, "It should be your sister Shen"?

As she spoke, her fingers were on the fourth brother's wrist, and she walked around with her true qi, and found that the vitality of the fourth brother's internal organs had increased a lot, and he was no longer as weak as before, so she was relieved.

Xiao Cong said: "In early July, your sister Shen came back, and we have signed and left the book. From now on, she is not your fourth sister-in-law. Speaking of this, he said with some regret, "It's a pity that she just left a few days ago, and you didn't meet her." He said Shen Qingyi's words again, "Your sister Shen said that there is a time to meet." ”

Although it is expected that the sister and the fourth brother will be reconciled, but they are really reconciled, Xiao Yan feels a little stunned, although the friendship with Shen Qingyi will not change, but from now on Shen Qingyi will no longer be her family - there is only sisterly personal friendship between them, and there is no family bondhttp://.5./books/3/3789/

Houmen's deceased concubine.

Xiao Yan sighed and said, "I don't know when the next time we meet." ”

She still remembered that she had promised Shen Qingyi in the first month of last year that she would give her roses this summer.

This summer, however, has passed.

Who knew then that she would go to Oghuz or go for the years?

Xiao Yan thought in his heart, let's draw a rose flower and send it to the Daomen in a few days.

***

The next morning, Xiao Yan bathed and changed clothes after morning exercise, and instructed the maids in the courtyard to box the gifts and send them to the courtyards. These gifts were brought back from Oghuz by her, as well as gifts from the Murong family. As for the gifts from Chang'an, when An Yexi and Xiao Jisi returned to Hexi last time, they had already brought them back and distributed them to various hospitals. Xiao Yan personally took the gift to her grandmother, and went to Songhe Courtyard, after meeting her grandmother, she talked about what she had seen and heard in Chang'an and the customs of Oghuz, she narrated vividly, and witty words, the eldest princess of Changning listened to it interesting and happy, and the Songhe Courtyard has always been quiet and laughing all morning. Near noon, Xiao Yan said goodbye to her grandmother and went to the front yard to go to her dust-washing feast.

Today's dust washing feast is the official dust washing feast.

The banquet is set in Changqing Hall, which is the hall of the Guogong Mansion second only to the Ming Hall, the face is wide and deep, generally the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet and the birthday of the Guogong, the wife, the son of the world and the song and dance banquet of the guests in the mansion are held here, Xiao Yan as a junior, and only the dust washing banquet of returning home is a little grand here, but she is nineteen years old - according to the birthday of the Xiao family genealogy - she is already the grandmaster of the Great Perfection of the Cave True Realm, which can be said to be the youngest grandmaster of the Great Perfection of the day after tomorrow in the entire Tang Dynasty, and its weight is enough for Xiao Yu to open the Changqing Hall for her, It also shows that her status in the family has risen significantly.

Because it was not a camp holiday, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yu were still in the barracks and did not come back, and only the two concubines of his father Xiao Yu, the Liu family, and Xiao Yan's second sister-in-law, Sun Yunxin, attended the banquet with their two sons and two daughters.

Xiao Hong, the eldest son of the second brother Xiao Zhang, is fifteen years old this year, wearing a neat wide robe and a large-sleeved dress, sitting straight behind the dining table, with a dignified demeanor, looking like a young man who has reached the crown. The youngest daughter Xiao Mi, the second son Xiao Kuan, and the third daughter Xiao Ning sat in the order of the concubine's teeth, all of them were dignified and cautious, and even Xiao Mi, who had been lively since childhood, was also well-behaved, and there was no left and right smiling posture.

Xiao Yan sighed secretly in his heart, family changes make people grow after all, although the second brother's wife and child have not been affected, it is difficult to return to the past. But she didn't have any sympathy for Xiao Zhang, and if she dared to seek the position of the son of the world, she would have to suffer the consequences of failure.

After the family banquet, Xiao Yan and the fourth brother sent their father back to Rui Sitang and talked in his father's study.

After the maid served tea and withdrew, Xiao Yu said: "The matter of the family, your second great-uncle mentioned it to you, right?" ”

Xiao Yan nodded, "The master said it briefly on the road." "The second uncle Xiao Jian and the second brother Xiao Zhang colluded with outsiders to assassinate the son, the evidence is conclusive, Xiao Jun was convicted and killed by the clan, and the second brother Xiao Zhang was abolished all the meridians of the body, "bedridden" on the couch, and it is estimated that he will be sick for a lifetime.

But the master said simply, the details of Xiao Yan are not clear, and there are still some doubts in his heart.

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Back then, your fourth brother was born with a disease - not a disease, but your mother was poisoned by someone during pregnancy, and I thought it was just a cold, but your fourth brother was born with cold poison in his body. It is a chronic cold poison, if it is not proficient in the poisonous tract, it will only be diagnosed as the mother's body cold, congenital body cold deficiency. "If it weren't for Mr. Xuan's grandson, he and Anping wouldn't have known that the sister-in-law who was born was actually poisoned.

Xiao Yu remembered the scene at that time, and his eyes were still cold.

Xiao Yan was surprised, it turned out that the fourth brother's congenital cold disease was actually poisoning! He glanced at the fourth brother with palpitations, but fortunately, the fourth brother is fine now.

But then she wondered, Anping's mother married from the royal family to the Xiao family, and she must have been married to a maid and maid who was good at medicine and good at distinguishing drugs, how could she be poisoned?
