When Guan Wen and Wei Xingzhi arrived at Lotus Village, they were just in time for dinner.

Yang'er heard the sound of horses' hooves from afar, and ran to the slope with Xiaokang to see, and saw that the carriage stopped in front of his own downhill entrance, and Guan Wen came out of it, Yang'er immediately shouted loudly: "Dad! ”

Yang'er hadn't seen Guan Wen for a long time.

Guan Wen hugged Yang'er and said with a smile: "Good boy, it's heavy again." ”

Xiaokang looked up at Guan Wen, squinted his eyes and said, "Uncle is home!" I told my aunt to go! ”

As he spoke, he turned around and went to "ventilate the news" to Li Xin and the others.

Wei Xingzhi got out of the carriage with Guan Wen, and Yang'er stared at him for a long time before blurting out, "Uncle." ”

Wei Xingzhi's face turned red, and Guan Wen laughed and said, "This claim is a good call!" Do you remember your future uncle? ”

Yang'er pursed her lips and nodded with a smile: "My mother and sister-in-law have mentioned it!" ”

"Arwen!"

Li Xin ran to the slope and saw that it was indeed Guan Wen, who was carrying Yang'er uphill, followed by ......

Wei Shusheng!

Li Xin hurriedly said in surprise: "Wei Shusheng is back!" ”

"Sister-in-law Guan." Wei Xingzhi hurriedly shouted Li Xin, and said a little embarrassed: "I came back yesterday, rested all night, and came back with Brother Guan after lunch today." ”

Li Xin smiled: "It's good to come back, just come back, hurry up and see your mother, she has been chattering these days, saying that you should come back, why haven't you come back yet." ”

Wei Xingzhi hurriedly agreed, took three steps and made two steps and stepped up.

Li Xin hugged Yang'er and let him down, Guan Wen grabbed her waist and smiled: "Just greet Brother Wei." Just forgot about me? ”

Li Xin glanced at him angrily: "It's a big person, and I'm not ashamed at all." Let's go inside, it's time for dinner. ”

Li Xin and Guan Wen walked uphill and entered the hall. Aunt Wei was holding Wei Xingzhi in tears.

"Why did you come back...... It's long overdue to get home, and you don't write a letter to come back to report your safety......"

Wei Xingzhi let his old lady beat him, and persuaded in a low voice. Yu Guang inadvertently glanced at Ah Mei who was standing behind Aunt Wei.

Ah Mei suddenly blushed, and stood in place at a loss, not daring to meet Wei Shusheng's gaze.

Wei Shusheng smiled apologetically at her, reached out and patted Aunt Wei's back and said, "Mother, aren't I coming back?" It's okay, it's just a little slower, and you know it's getting late. It gets dark early, and it's not very safe to walk on the road. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Aunt Wei walked away from Wei Shusheng's shoulder, looked at Wei Shusheng carefully, and said distressedly: "I've lost weight." Lose weight, isn't it a sin to go out this time! The flesh on my face is gone......"

Wei Xingzhi said funny: "Mother, how can it be so exaggerated." ”

Aunt Wei took Wei Xingzhi's hand complainingly, and was aggrieved again: "You are my mother's son, don't you know it......?"

Li Xin came up and persuaded: "Auntie, since the aunt said that Brother Wei has lost weight and Brother Wei is back, let's give Brother Wei a good supplement." Let's eat first. ”

"Yes, yes, eat first. Eat first. ”

Aunt Wei hurriedly pulled Wei Shusheng to sit, and finally with a smile on her face, she said: "Your sister-in-law Guan has good craftsmanship, and her mother has to eat more at every meal on her side, and her spirit has been raised a lot." You hurry up and eat too, hurry up and eat too. ”

Wei Shusheng hurriedly took the chopsticks handed to him by Aunt Wei. said helplessly: "Mother, I'm not a child anymore, I know, don't worry about me." ”

"That's it, there is still more time left for your mother and son to talk, so let's eat first."

Li Xin helped Aunt Wei to the table where the woman was sitting and added food to Aunt Wei, and Aunt Wei glanced at Wei Shusheng from time to time, full of concern.

Guan Wen, Guan Wu, Feng Defa, Wei Xingzhi, and even the old juncture, who felt very happy to see his future grandson-in-law, sat at a table, and soon the atmosphere at that table became warm.

Guan Wen and Guan Wu were happy, and poured some wine and drank a few glasses.

Wei Shusheng was not strong enough to drink, and after being forced to drink two glasses, he couldn't support it, his face was red a lot, and even his ears were red.

Seeing this, Guan Wen and Guan Wu sent Wei Xingzhi to lie down for a while.

Li Xin and Ah Mei cleaned up the mess together, and when they saw Ah Mei with a shy smile on her face, they started to play tricks and teased Ah Mei: "Ah Mei, you are going to marry Wei Shusheng in more than a month, do you feel nervous and scared?" I've met your future husband today. ”

Ah Mei's face suddenly turned red, she glanced at Li Xin shyly and timidly, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me, but if you are a new bride, how can you not be nervous or afraid when you get married...... It's my sister-in-law, when I married my eldest brother, was it very peaceful? I don't believe it......"

Ah Mei will sneer at her at this time!

Li Xin smiled, but she was not annoyed, she only said: "Sister will marry into the Wei family in the future, and you can't leave behind if you are filial to Aunt Wei, but it is more important to take care of your husband." ”

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, but still gave Ah Mei a vaccination: "When he came back from participating in the Autumn Festival, his grades fell second, but he is a scholar in the end, as long as he is successful, then being an official is a sure thing." No matter how big or small an official is, he is an official after all. In the future, you really become an official wife, and the sister-in-law on the side will not teach you, you have to learn by yourself, but there is one aspect, the sister-in-law still has to give you a wake-up call. ”

Ah Mei looked at Li Xin, Li Xin paused for a moment, and then said softly: "If he wants to take a concubine, you have to be careful." ”

Ah Mei's eyes widened slightly, and Li Xin continued: "The Wei family's heirs are thin, and Aunt Wei definitely hopes that the Wei family can spread out more." If you marry in the past, it would be best if you could get a firm foothold in one fell swoop, if you can't, but if Wei Shusheng is a little bit out of luck and has become an official, he wants to take a concubine, you can't stop it. ”

Ah Mei bit her lip and nodded to show that she understood.

"Sister-in-law naturally doesn't want you to live that kind of life when wives and concubines compete with each other, fight for favor for yourself, fight for the interests of your children, such a life is far less easy and comfortable than marrying an ordinary and honest country boy."

Li Xin took a breath and said slowly: "Scholar Wei is the person you fancie, sister-in-law knows, because your sixth brother is studying, you are the closest to him, and you like a reader like him." Wei Shusheng's character is also good, and his eldest brother and sister-in-law think he is good. It's just that people change, whether they get better or worse, which is not within the expected range of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. After getting married, life is yours after all. Therefore, since it is the person you choose, before you get married, your sister-in-law has done enough for you. Once you're married, it's all up to you. ”

After Li Xin finished speaking, seeing that Ah Mei didn't react, she asked tentatively, "Ah Mei?" ”

"I know my sister-in-law." Ah Mei raised her head, looked at Li Xin with sparkling eyes, and said to Li Xin with a chuckle: "The future days are my own life, whether I live well or badly, it all depends on whether I can operate or not, and it depends on my creation." ”

Ah Mei nodded, took Li Xin's hand and said, "Sister-in-law did it for me, I am already very grateful." My sister-in-law can't be responsible for my whole life...... So even if I'm not doing well, I'll grit my teeth and get by. ”

"Nonsense, how can you have a bad time?"

Li Xin hurriedly chirped: "Your mother-in-law likes you, and your father-in-law is a knowledgeable person, unless you are rude and willful, and you don't live a good life, how can you have a bad life?" ”

Ah Mei looked at Li Xin and smiled heartily.

"What did you two sisters-in-law say?"

Guan Wenshi walked in, scooped up hot water and added tea to take a sip, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile, "What do you say?" Why didn't you even say anything when you saw me? ”

"The girl's family says private things, and you are embarrassed to listen to them?"

Li Xin said to her, Ah Mei said with a red face that she would clean up the hall and leave the stove.

"Say what?"

Guan Wen saw that Ah Mei was gone, so he asked Li Xin again.

Li Xin said: "I really didn't say anything, you are really ...... Break the casserole and ask the end, why are you so mother-in-law today? Seeing that your future sister-in-law is back, you don't know what to do, right? ”

Li Xin muttered and reached out to touch Guan Wen's forehead: "No...... I haven't seen you drink much tonight......"

Guan Wen couldn't cry or laugh: "I won't ask a few more words, but I will become my mother-in-law." ”

Li Xin giggled twice, and seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked Guan Wen: "Did Scholar Wei sleep?" ”

"Sleep."

"You're going to spend a day with him, aren't you? Did he go home? ”

"Returned." Guan Wen frowned: "He also knew about the murder case next door to his house, but he didn't mention it much, so I lightly revealed it." ”

Li Xin asked: "Then you told him, did we hide from Aunt Wei that we didn't tell her about this?" ”

"Got it." Guan Wen nodded and said, "I said that it was not a good thing after all, and I was afraid of scaring Aunt Wei when I said it, so I never told her." Fortunately, Aunt Wei never returned to the town, so the rumor did not reach Aunt Wei's ears, and she kept it a secret. ”

"What did Scholar Wei say?"

"Wei Shusheng said that since he has hidden it, it is better to hide it, and he will slowly tell Aunt Wei."

Li Xin frowned: "Then he came back, didn't he want to take Aunt Wei back?" Aunt Wei went back, how can she hide this? ”

Guan Wen shook his head and said: "Wei Shusheng said that I hope to let Aunt Wei live on our side for the time being, he will take the yard out and change the place again." ”

"This ......"

Li Xin hesitated for a while: "However, if he is scheduled to let Ah Mei pass through the door on the seventh day of the first lunar month, there is still a month to go, so he will sell the yard and find another place...... Is there still time? ”

Guan Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't mentioned this to him yet...... When he is sober tomorrow, I will mention it to him again. ”

Li Xin nodded, then pulled Guan Wen and asked softly, "Have you asked him, how did you do in the Qiu Yu exam this time?" ”
