Li Xin's heart suddenly moved slightly, she looked at Duchun with a smile, and asked him, "Does Duchun like painting very much?" ”

Twilight Chun nodded, slightly excited: "Brother Chengfeng taught me to draw, I like it very much!" ”

Last time, Li Xin took a few children back to the village for about ten days in order to relieve Duchun, and Duchun walked very close to Xiaodou when he was at Li's house.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Since Twilight likes to paint, why don't you ask your mother to teach you how to draw?" ”

Twilight was stunned, hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.

Li Xin was a little surprised, it stands to reason that she suggested that Twilight would happily respond if she liked to paint, but Twilight shook her head and disagreed······ Why is that?

"Mother doesn't need to break the bill for Twilight,...... "Twilight said in a low voice, "It will definitely cost a lot of money to hire a painter, and Twilight can practice it herself......"

It turned out to save her money!

Li Xin laughed a little, but she also felt that the child Twilight Chun was sensible and distressing. She gently stroked the top of Twilight's hair and said, "If you spend money, your father and mother will be more motivated to make money." Money is a dead thing, and it will rust if you keep it in your hand. ”

Yoyo grinned: "That mother will give Yoyo more pocket flowers." ”

"Little money fans."

Li Xin was ashamed of her, and said to Duchun: "Mother will help you ask if there are any good painters who want to accept apprentices, is this good?" ”

Dui Chun must have been looking forward to learning to paint from his master, and he was a little reluctant to refuse Li Xin, but when he heard Li Xin say this, he was naturally very happy, pursed his lips and nodded shyly, and said to Li Xin in a low voice: "Thank you, mother." ”

From the very beginning, Twilight Chun's child called her and Guan Wen differently from Yang'er and Youyou, who called them more affectionate and homely "Daddy", while Twilight always called them "Father and Mother", which seemed more official and formulaic. Although it seems to be much more respectful than that of my father and mother, it undoubtedly adds a distance.

Li Xin smiled slightly, stayed with the two children for a while, Guozi came to say that Liang'er woke up, Li Xin went back to his yard and hugged Liang'er to feed, and then asked Guozi to feed him some supplementary food, drink some water, and hold him for a while, Cao's mother came to ask for instructions on the dishes for the evening.

"The lord didn't send anyone back to say that the dinner was not used at home, and the lady ······ it." Cao's mother asked dutifully.

Li Xin pondered for a while and said, "Let's prepare an extra one, and put it out later for dinner." ”

"Yes."

Cao's mother went down and instructed Li Xin to play with Liang'er for a while, teaching him to call people, and before he knew it, the sky turned dark.

"Ma'am." Cao's mother came in from outside the door, walked all the way to Li Xin and said, "He Zai, who was next to the old man, came back to pass the word, saying that the old man was going to have dinner and chat with Shen Siye tonight, and he wouldn't come back for dinner." After a while, the eldest young master and the second master's wife will come back. ”

Li Xin nodded, letting Cao's mother look at the arrangement.

When it was dark, Xing'er and the others returned to the house, Xing'er looked excited, and just walked into the dining room, she smiled with Li Xin: "Why don't you stay with us until the end?" I didn't see the highlight of the rest of the story! ”

Li Xin smiled: "Why, the stones that come out of the back are more unique?" ”

"Of course! The ones ahead, Mrs. Xun said that they are all throwing bricks and attracting jade, who waits until the end, whose eyes are full! Thanks to you, you walked halfway. ”

Li Xin smiled, noncommittal, and instructed Qingya to bring water up for Xing'er and the others to wipe their faces and hands, and said, "I see that your eyes are full, and your stomach doesn't feel hungry." How many hours has it been? Hurry up and sit down to eat. ”

Cao's mother asked people to put the food on the table, Xing'er sat next to Li Xin, and Yang'er and Xiaokang also sat down.

"Mother, my uncle and father went to meet Shen Siye and didn't come back." Yang Er said.

Li Xin nodded and said, "I know, your father sent someone back to say it, regardless of him, let's eat first." ”

Xing'er smiled and told Li Xin that the few stones that were moved up later were described like heavenly stones, "...... Didn't you see that the stone was big, there was a natural phoenix pattern on it, that was amazing, people poured water on the potholes, that guy, the stone under the sun was shining, as if the phoenix was going to flutter its wings and fly high······"

Not to be outdone, Xiaokang also described: "There is also the stone that looks like a pen washing altar in itself, with a black background and a yellow body, and it will not seep out if you pour water into the inside of the recessed stone, and what is even more commendable is that there are patterns at the bottom of the inner wall of the recessed stone, which looks like two fish wagging their tails." ”

Yang'er only listened with a smile on the side, Li Xin was not very interested in stones, and Li Xin was not so enthusiastic about the stone club after Li Houbo took the stone from Li Xin's mother's house to participate in the gem club.

"It seems that I don't have that eye." Li Xin smiled: "You're still happy to see it today, right?" ”

Xing'er nodded and said, "This is indeed a grand scene in our Hui County!" ”

Li Xin nodded, and Xing'er said again: "By the way, sister-in-law, before I came back, that Mrs. Xun asked me to bring you a message, so that everyone could get together before the year, and she would give you a post when the time came." ”

Li Xin smiled: "I know." ”

Counting it, it is true that she has not gotten together with Mrs. Xun and others for a long time, and it is not bad to get together while the year is still in place.

Guan Wen and Li Ming did not come back that night, and it was not until the next morning that the two returned to Guan Mansion in a carriage.

Guan Wen's face was good, his face was still a little drunk, and he must have drunk last night. And Li Ming still had that faint and gentle appearance, and calmly walked into the hall with Guan Wen.

Li Ming rested for a while, then said goodbye to Guan Wen and Li Xin, he still had to go back to Lijia Village, and when the Li family had a banquet in two days, he would have to look at the guest list. Li Xin didn't leave him either, told him to have a smooth journey on the road, and sent him out.

Xing'er also said goodbye and went back, Xiaokang was a little reluctant, and followed Xing'er back to the village in the end.

Li Xin was not interested in the results of the gem meeting, but only concerned about the follow-up of Li Houbo's incident.

Because it was arranged by Guan Wen to send someone back to send the stone back, Li Xin didn't know who it was, so he could only ask questions when Guan Wen came back.

"My mother-in-law is very angry, and my father-in-law is also very angry." Guan Wen replied implicitly.

According to Liu's temper, it is not difficult for Li Xin to imagine her thunderous appearance. Although the Liu family has always been disgusted with the stone because Li Houzhong values the stone and treats the stone as an ancestor, and has said several times that he will throw the stone out and bury it, but over the years, the Liu family has also vaguely thought that the situation of the Li family may really be related to this stone, and his opinion on this stone has changed slightly. In addition, later the Liu family also moved to send the stone to the gem club to pave the way for Li Ming to create a connection, and it is obvious that the Liu family has been interested in this stone.

Li Houbo doesn't ask about himself, this is called stealing, and being a thief has gone to her house, Liu has always been disgusted with Li Houbo, and it's no wonder that he can give up!

Now Li Ming is a person who is on the job, Liu's waist is straight and hard, if he really wants to toss, how can Li Houbo toss her?

Li Xin shook his head and asked Guan Wendao, "That's all you sent when you came back?" Nothing else? ”

Guan Wendao: "Their responsibility is to send the stone back, and when the stone is delivered, they don't want to stay long, and they came back at night last night." They only said that after listening to their explanations at the time, the father-in-law had a blue face and didn't say anything, but the mother-in-law scolded him directly. ”

Li Xin sighed: "I don't know if the uncle went back, didn't you watch him go to my third uncle's house yesterday?" ”

Guan Wen nodded and said, "Look at the direction, yes." ”

"I really don't know what Uncle wants to do." Li Xin sighed: "I hope that my mother's family won't make any trouble, I'm afraid that my mother's hot temper will come up, and she won't be able to take care of anything, and she will face up to the uncle's family." The banquet for Ming'er is about to open, and what can happen to this bone. ”

Two days later, Guan Wen and Li Xin rushed back to Lijia Village with their four children.

Lijia Village is very lively today, and the sullen breath of the Liu family in the early years can be said to be exhausted under Li Ming's big breath, she is wearing a magnificent purple dress, and greets the guests with a smile. The tables in the courtyard of the Li family are already full, and there are at least hundreds of tables outside, half of which are occupied by one road, and all the round tables come out horizontally.

Guan Wen chuckled and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are generous this time, I didn't expect to open so many ......."

Li Xin was also helpless: Is my father going to invite the whole village to come?

Seeing that they had arrived, Liu hurriedly called Guan Wen and Li Xin into the inner courtyard. The people sitting in the inner courtyard should be close relatives and distinguished guests.

Today's protagonists are Li Houzhong, Liu and Li Ming, Li Xin was so happy not to help, he picked a place to sit with Guan Wen, and also arranged for the children to sit down.

Li Dalang looked at the emptiness and quietly moved to Li Xin's side, and whispered: "You let the maid send all the money used, my mother wants to talk about pomp, and today there are one hundred and sixty-six tables, and the dishes are very good." ”

Li Xin nodded and said in a low voice: "That money is to decorate Ming'er's face, eldest brother doesn't need to tell others, I took my private money." ”

Li Dalang said with a smile: "I know that your sister-in-law and I are responsible for the procurement of ingredients, and my father and mother don't know the specific account." But I calculated, everyone who came to eat and drink today gave big gifts, and when I took back the gifts, I still have to pay you back the silver. You can't pay for it. ”

Li Xin was about to speak, but Li Dalang said, "Okay, don't fight with your eldest brother." If you really want to fight for Mingzi's face, that's also my second brother's business, you are already married, how can you still pay for it. ”

Li Dalang didn't give Li Xin a chance to speak, and left in a blink of an eye under the pretext that he was busy.

One after another, the seats were already full, and the chef began to get busy, starting to serve the food table by table. The white mist billowed above the large stove built on the corner of the courtyard, and the hot aroma came in a steady stream.

Liu was smiling, but when the person who came in at the door entered her eyes, Liu immediately lowered his face and said to Li Houzhong beside him: "Your eldest brother is really a distinguished guest, he just came at this time, everyone looked at him, and he greeted people like a master······ I think he's the main character, huh? ”

Li Houzhong's face suddenly turned pale.
