May 25, afternoon.

After four days of driving, Xiao Fan finally arrived in Suzhou with Zhao Paner.

"The second young master is back, and he has already entered the city!"

As soon as Xiao Fan's convoy entered the city gate of Suzhou, someone had already informed Xiao Mansion of the news of his entry into the city.

As soon as he got out of the car, Xiao Fan saw Qian with several of his brothers and sisters waiting for him at the door.

"Mother, big brother, I'm back." Xiao Fan greeted Qian and Xiao Wei.

"Second brother." Xiao Wei patted Xiao Fan's shoulder with a heavy heart, he didn't know how to tell Xiao Fan what he overheard yesterday.

"Second brother." The remaining younger brothers hurriedly called out to the second brother, after all, the second brother had beaten them up at the beginning.

Not counting Gu Qianfan, Xiao Qinyan has five sons and one daughter, the eldest son Xiao Wei and the second son Xiao Fan are sisters-in-law, the third son Xiao Jie, the fourth son Xiao Luo, and the fifth son Xiao Huai are all concubines, and the daughter Xiao Ting is from the Qian family.

"It's good to come back, Fan'er, take Pan'er in quickly." Qian said happily.

"Second brother, this is my sister-in-law, right? What gifts did you bring me? Xiao Ting rushed up and took Xiao Fan's hand.

For this eccentric sister who has been spoiled by several brothers since childhood, Xiao Fan decided to tease her.

"What? I haven't seen my second brother for so long, and I don't ask how my second brother is doing these days, but I actually came up to ask for a gift, which really makes me sad. ”

"Humph! Don't think I don't know, but my mother told us, you are happy in Qiantang! If your mother hadn't asked you to come back, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come back with my sister-in-law in Qiantang! ”

Xiao Ting didn't get into the trap, and directly teased him and Zhao Pan'er, and went to hug Zhao Pan'er's arm: "Sister-in-law, let's go, I'll take you to visit our Xiao Mansion." ”

Zhao Paner looked at Xiao Fan as if asking for help, and was pulled away by Xiao Ting when he saw him nodding.

"These days, you have lost weight, this time I asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of delicious food for you, you must make up for it." Qian Shi dragged Xiao Fan inside, and kept chattering.

Skinny? Xiao Fan directly has a black question mark face.

During this time, he ate and drank well, although he has been practicing martial arts, not to mention fat, but he is definitely not thin.

It can only be said that different worlds have the same mother. In the eyes of every mother, as long as she hasn't seen her for a while, her son must have lost weight.

But who makes mom justice?

Xiao Fan had no choice but to say, "Really? Then I can eat more. Mother, I want to drink the chicken soup you made yourself. ”

On the other side, Zhao Paner, who was pulled to the side by Xiao Ting, was a little at a loss.

Although Xiao Fan had introduced the situation at home to her on the road before, he focused on this sister with her.

"Isn't it good that we just run out like this?" For Xiao Ting to pull herself out as soon as they met, Zhao Paner was a little uncomfortable.

"What's this? Dad is not at home when he goes to the Yamen, so my mother won't blame us! ”

Xiao Qinyan has always ruled his family with military law, but unfortunately, he is not at home most of the time, and the Qian family has the final say, so his rules can only manage his subordinates, not his children.

Zhao Pan'er saw that her sister-in-law looked like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, but when she thought of what Xiao Fan had told her, she couldn't help but smile.

"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at? Did my brother speak ill of me in front of you? Xiao Tinghu was suspicious, after all, she had a lot of troubles.

"How come, your second brother told me that you are lively and kind-hearted, and that you must come with me."

Well, Zhao Paner swore that Xiao Fan never told her that Xiao Ting was still wetting the bed at the age of seven, and she blew up her face with firecrackers and cow dung, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep and had to listen to ghost stories and other embarrassing things.

"That's it, my second brother loves me the most!" Xiao Ting said proudly: "By the way, sister-in-law, I heard from my mother that you saved my second brother, and then soon got married, can you tell me about you?" ”

As soon as she talked about this, Zhao Paner suddenly became energetic.

"Let me tell you, when I first rescued your brother, he looked at me for the first time, do you know what he said?"

"What did you say?" Xiao Ting said curiously.

"He called me Sister Fairy, if it weren't for his clear eyes and no lustful eyes, I would have treated him as a disciple." Zhao Paner remembered the first time she and Xiao Fan met, and couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Ting couldn't help but think of Xiao Fan's previous reputation, what is the overall Qinlou Chu Pavilion, isn't it a disciple?

But it was impossible for her second brother to dismantle her second brother's platform, so she had to say: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful, aren't you a fairy sister?" ”

"I'm not a fairy sister, just an ordinary merchant woman selling tea."

"You're not an ordinary businesswoman! My mother told me that you are no worse than those famous girls, and my brother still likes you so much. Xiao Ting didn't care about this.

chatting with Zhao Paner while shopping, Xiao Ting quickly fell in love with this new sister-in-law.

Xiao Ting was very interested in the refreshments, delicacies and various teas that Xiao Fan loved to eat in Zhao Paner's mouth.

"Sister-in-law, I want you to make me these delicious and delicious foods." Xiao Ting, who was already very close to Zhao Paner, began to use her coquettishness.

"I can mix the tea for you, but the fruits and delicacies are made by Sanniang, and I won't make them. But if you have time, you can go to Qiantang with us to taste Sanniang's craftsmanship, especially the stir-fry that your brother taught Sanniang. Zhao Paner said with a smile.

"You mean my brother can cook?" Xiao Ting was surprised: "Then I must make it for me by my brother." ”

"What are you going to eat? Let's go, let's eat! "Xiao Fan came to find Zhao Paner and Xiao Ting to have dinner.

"Second brother, why didn't I know you could cook, I want to try your craftsmanship!" Xiao Ting looked back and said excitedly.

"I know how to eat, I don't know the severity at all, your sister-in-law is here for the first time, and you are so rude." Xiao Fan taught.

"I know it's wrong, but it's not the first time I've seen my sister-in-law, am I happy?"

"Well, aren't you here to tell us to eat? Hurry up, don't let your mother wait too long. Zhao Paner hurriedly played a round game.

When Xiao Fan took Zhao Paner and Xiao Ting to the main hall, he found that the family had arrived, and Xiao Qinyan had already returned from the palace.

"Dad, mother." Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner greeted Qian and Xiao Qin.

"Well, Fan'er, Pan'er, after you got married, you lived in Qiantang and didn't come back, I miss you very much with your mother, and finally remember to come back to see us?" Xiao Qinyan looked very happy as soon as they met, not at all like he had a cold face at the wedding.

Xiao Fan was a little unsure, and he didn't know which one Xiao Qinyan was singing, so he had to say: "It's the child who is not filial, and he can't always be by your second elder's side." ”

"Eh, you also studied in Qiantang for the scientific examination, I can understand, the "Ai Lian Said" you wrote before was transmitted to Suzhou, and the writing is brilliant, I like it very much." Xiao Qin said earnestly.

"Did you like that article very much?" Xiao Fan was skeptical.

"Can I not like what my son wrote?" Xiao Qinyan happily prepared vegetables for Zhao Pan'er: "Come, Pan'er, it's the first time you come, try the dishes specially prepared for you by your mother." ”

Qian Shi watched Xiao Qinyan's performance from the side, and rolled her eyes in her heart, but Xiao Qinyan could take a step back, and she would not demolish him.

After all, one is her son, the other is her official, and it is best for the family to be happy, even if it is only on the surface.
