apparently

Even if he has a lot of knowledge in later generations, Chen Xiang doesn't have a good idea for a while.

thereupon

After breakfast, he decided to follow Liu Yanchang to his sister Liu Qing's house to have a look, I heard that my uncle's surname is Li Dapeng, and the family is in business.

Regarding Liu Yanchang's sister Liu Qing, Chen Xiang has never heard of such a person in the content about [Baolian Lantern] that he has come into contact with in later generations.

but

Liu Yanchang said that there must be, maybe there was such a person, but this person married far away from Yangzhou and did not have any relationship with [Baolian Lantern], so there is no record.

It may be that Chen Xiang's arrival changed the fate of the original character, which involved this Liu Qing.

Thinking so, Chen Xiang followed behind Liu Yanchang and came to Guanfeng Lane.

Guanfeng Lane is a long north-south alley with a width of five steps.

The Guanfeng Lane in the north-south direction intersects three east-west alleys, and in these three east-west alleys, there are people living in the north and south.

Agarwood's aunt Li's family lives in the middle of this small alley called Taiping Lane.

The alley is more than 100 meters long and more than three steps wide.

into the alley,

The father and son of the Liu family stopped in front of the third door facing south, and the two closed vermilion doors were slightly faded.

"Dad, this is my aunt's house?"

"If your aunt hadn't moved out, this would have been the place."

"Then I'll call the door" Chen Xiang walked through the two steps of bluestone slabs and came to the door.

Bang Bang,

Bang Bang,

"Open the door, open the door"

On the vermilion door, the two golden toads were clapped by Chen Xiang.

Crunch

After about twenty breaths, the small door on the left opened inward, and a young man's head poked out of the crack.

This young man is in his teens, with red lips and white teeth, but he is a little handsome.

He glanced at Chen Xiang and Liu Yanchang, and found that he didn't know these two, so he asked:

"Who are you looking for?"

"This is Li Dapeng's house?" Chen Xiang raised his head and asked.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Liu Shenxiang, Liu Qing is my aunt, is she at home?"

"Oh, then you'll wait"

syllable

After the boy finished speaking, he retracted his head and closed the door again.

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Liu Yanchang: "Dad, it seems that this is my aunt's house, but, who is this young man, my cousin?" ”

"I only know that you have a cousin who has been replaced by Li March, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and your aunt wrote two years ago, and she hasn't said anything about giving birth to a child" Liu Yanchang was also puzzled.

The father and son were stunned, the small door opened again, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, dressed in a moon-white long gown, and a ten-style brocade pleated skirt on her lower body, ran out quickly.

The young and smart, handsome and lovely girl looked at Liu Yanchang twice, and with a crisp voice like a yellow bird, she turned her head and shouted to the door:

"Mother, hurry up, come and see, is it uncle and agarwood"

Chen Xiang looked at this girl who came out of the door, pure and beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows, and was overjoyed, this is his cousin Li March, right?

is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he already looks so beautiful and moon-like, I have to say that the genes of Liu Yanchang's brother and sister are really strong.

"Come, come, you kid, don't invite your uncle in, isn't it possible that someone is still pretending to be an uncle?"

A mature and intellectual pleasant female voice came from the door, and before the words were finished, a dignified young woman had already walked out.

The young woman is about thirty years old, graceful, as pretty as a spring peach, and Liu Yanchang is a little similar.

She wears a cinnabar-colored shirt with a thin persimmon-colored bandeau underneath.

"Auntie"

As soon as Liu Qing walked out, Chen Laogou pounced, hugged her thighs, and buried his head in the two reed-gray skirts.

Liu Qing was slightly stunned, then picked up the five-year-old Xiao Chen Xiang, looked at Liu Yanchang and said:

"When did my brother come to Yangzhou?"

"It only arrived yesterday, and March is so big, if you meet it elsewhere, you won't dare to admit it"

"My brother has been gone for five or six years, even when he is in Yangzhou, he rarely visits him, if so, if there is a case, I don't know who to talk to" Liu Qing said, choked up.

"Auntie doesn't cry" Chen Laogou hurriedly raised his head from her chest and stretched out his little hand to wipe her tears.

"Mother, how can there be any reason to talk about the old at the door, let's invite my uncle to come in and talk"

"But you blame me, March, please invite your uncle in"

..

Although the Li family is not a wealthy family, it also has small assets, which can be seen from this three-entry courtyard.

The courtyard is a typical Jiangnan building, along the wind and rain long nut to the backyard, Liu Qing did not take Chen Xiang and his son to the main hall, but came to a small courtyard.

There is a wing room in this small courtyard, the wing room is not small, the area of 100 square meters, there is a wooden round table in the middle of the room, and the innermost room against the wall is a carved shelf bed.

Two red silk embroidered futons are faintly visible on the bed.

"In March, go fetch water and boil it, and make a pot of hot tea for your uncle"

"Okay mother, uncle, sit down for a while, and I'll be back when I go in March."

Li March went to boil water, Liu Qing hugged Chen Xiang and beckoned Liu Yanchang to sit down at the round table, and looked at the well-behaved and lovely little nephew in her arms for a while, and then she spoke:

"Why did my brother come to Yangzhou, but did he come to visit me and March?"

"This, I'm not going to tell you, actually...."

"Auntie, in fact, my father and I came to Yangzhou, not to visit you and my sister, my father said that agarwood has also reached the age of enlightenment, in order for me to be the top student in high school, my father took me to Yangzhou"

"Ahem, well, that's what Agarwood meant," Liu Yanchang nodded on the side to confirm.

is still the same sentence, Liu Yanchang just reads too much, and his feelings are a little slower, but he is not stupid.

Although he doesn't understand why his five-year-old son is so sophisticated, he knows that what his son said is right.

Imperceptibly, Liu Yanchang gradually became the shape of Chen Laogou... Image spokesperson.

"That's fine, it's all in Yangzhou in the future, and it's more convenient to come and go," Liu Qing nodded and said.

"It's the pole, it's the pole," Liu Yanchang echoed.

He was thinking in his heart whether to talk about coming to the Li family to stay at home, and looked at the five-year-old son in his sister's arms, as if waiting for him to make an idea.

Chen Xiang received Liu Yanchang's eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it, but said:

"Auntie, when I knocked on the door, an elder brother came to open the door, but I don't know what relatives in the family are, why didn't anyone come?"

"That's my aunt's younger brother, called Li Fulai, my aunt won't let him come to us when he's fine" It was Li March who walked in from the outside and carried a kettle in his hand.

"March, Hugh's nonsense"

"That's what it was."

Li March made hot tea and said, "Since my aunt gave birth to a younger brother and lived in the main house, where have you seen us?" If it weren't for my father's good thoughts, I'm afraid that if it weren't for our mother, we would have let my aunt kick her out of this house."

Chen Xiang listened to his cousin Li March's words, and he already knew in his heart that the Li family, father and son, would not be able to live in.

Didn't you see that even my aunt, the wife, lived in the wing? If Liu Yanchang, the eldest brother, comes, where will he live?

Firewood house?

Knowing this, he didn't dwell too much on this topic, but asked:

"Li Fulai, cousin, why did your younger brother have such a name?"
