Lan Xin and Jian Xin came to the lobby foyer, the round table was already full of delicious food, Li Yu and his brother Li Longzhan had already sat down and waited, sitting next to Li Longzhan was his biological mother, Li Zhentian's second wife, Mrs. Zhou. Behind Li Yu stood a man, who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and tall, with no expression on his cold face, and a pair of sharp eyes like goshawks. The butler, Li Ji, stood on the other side of the table.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Lan Xinlai, she got up and said, "Sister, everyone is waiting for you, if you don't come, no one will dare to move the chopsticks." ”

Lan Xin frowned slightly, and said, "I've said it, there are not so many rules in our family, if I don't come, you can eat first." ”

"Sister's words are wrong, this husband's business is getting bigger and bigger, and our family will be rich and glorious in the future, and some etiquette will always be good."

Ouyang Lan sat down on the other side of Fan Yu and said, "Then wait for the owner to earn so much money, and then talk about this kind of thing." Eat it. ”

When Fan Yu saw his mother coming, he still looked a little panicked, and he was angry just now and dared to say a few words to his mother. Now that I have calmed down, I am a little afraid, and I bow my head and don't look at my mother. Lan Xin looked at Fan Yu, smiled slightly, and picked up the chopsticks and ate them directly. Then, he leaned into Fan Yu's ear and asked with a smile: "Boy, what are you doing this afternoon?" ”

Fan Yu said stupidly: "I followed Master Zhao to practice martial arts." If you don't believe it, you can ask Master Zhao, or ask Big Brother. ”

Although Ouyang Lan's voice was not loud, Zhao Shu had practiced martial arts for many years, so he naturally heard it, so he said, "Well, Yu'er is indeed practicing here with me in the afternoon." I heard Yu'er say that you are unhappy with Mrs. today, and he has already reprimanded him for this matter, and he also knows that he is wrong. Then he patted Fan Yu on the shoulder.

"Mother, I was wrong."

Lan Xin took a bite of food and said, "Do you kid still know how to admit mistakes?" I thought the heavens and the earth were big, except for the king of heaven Lao Tzu, you were the biggest! ”

"How so? I won't dare next time. No, there is no next time. ”

"There won't be a next time, kid."

"Apologize to Aunt Xin, although she said that she sewed ugly, but people tried their best to sew things for you, and they couldn't ask you to say that."

"Aunt Xin, I was wrong."

Jian Xin smiled, pinched Fan Yu's face, and said "good". Then he secretly twisted it behind Lan Xin, so that Fan Yu admitted his mistake and had to mention that he didn't sew things well. Lan Xin was in pain, so he had a small quarrel with Jian Xin again.

Mrs. Zhou on the side looked at this scene, she was not so comfortable, she was originally from the family of an official eunuch. His father was killed by gangsters on the way to office, but fortunately he was rescued by Li Zhentian, who was on the way to dart at that time. Later, I knew that Li Zhentian already had a wife, but she was also willing to marry Li Zhentian. After marrying Li Zhentian, although she has no worries about food and clothing, Li Zhentian treats her well, but the life of the Jianghu people is very different from the way she has lived since she was a child. This made Mrs. Zhou, who had received etiquette education since childhood, very dissatisfied with many lifestyles in her family. Just like Li Yu apologized to Jianxin, how can there be any reason for the master to apologize to his subordinates. , even usually, when I saw Lan Xin and Jian Xin playing, I felt that Ouyang Lan didn't have the demeanor of everyone at all, just like the gangster in the market.

Ouyang Lan and Jian Xin quarreled for a while, and said, "Jian Xin, you can also sit down and eat." And Zhao Shu, don't stand. Sit down and eat. Uncle Ji, sit down too. So many dishes. He turned his head to Fan Yu and said, "You kid, sit here." Let your Aunt Xin and Master Zhao sit here. He pointed to another seat.

"Why?"

"Let you let it, you let it, what so many words."

Li Ji smiled and said, "Madam, I have already eaten, you can eat." ”

Fan Yu had to get up and sit on the other side, and when he got up, he didn't forget to take away his bowl full of food. Lan Xin pulled Jianxin and took a seat. Jian Xin was a little embarrassed and refused to sit. At this time, Mrs. Zhou on the side spoke: "Sister, the subordinates have their own places to go, how can we let them sit at the same table with us?" ”

"There is no such thing as a superior or a descendant. Don't discipline us with your rules. I have been eating and living with Jianxin since I was a child, saying that she is a maid? Hum! That's it for our maids. The next person is also a person, what's wrong with eating at the table? If you don't like it, just leave on your own. ”

Mrs. Zhou was speechless when Lan Xin said this, and only said "You!" ”。 After a pause, he said, "What kind of system is this?" I've eaten enough, and I'm out of company. Then he got up and left.

Jian Xin didn't know what to say at this time, and stood there without moving. However, Zhao Shu sat down directly.

Mrs. Zhou was furious, got up and left directly.

At this time, Li Longzhan on the side got up, made a gesture, and explained: "Don't be surprised, auntie, my mother has been a little irritable recently, and she has no intention of contradicting you." ”

"I know her father is an official. You can marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog. Since you are married here, follow the rules here. Your mother is really... ”

"The child understood, and I went to persuade the mother. I hope the aunt won't be angry. ”

Ouyang Lan had a good impression of the child, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Just now there was a letter from the capital, your father and one of my brothers-in-law, um~ You should also call your uncle." They had done a great job, and they were injured and could not move back and forth. Let's go to the capital and see them. I wanted to wait until I had dinner, but your mother. ”

Lan Xin continued: "You can tell your mother in a while." Tentatively, she will leave tomorrow, and let her pack her belongings. ”

"Yes." Long Zhan replied, getting up and leaving.

"Long Zhan, have you eaten enough? Don't stop eating because of your mother. It's not too late to tell your mother about this later. ”

"Aunt Xie is worried, I've already eaten, so I'll retire first."

Lan Xin nodded, and Li Longzhan left.

"You. You can also be tough, what are you doing with that girl! She likes to be a demon when she has nothing to do all day long, how capable is she like a person? I've seen all the princes and princesses, and I really don't have much to do with her! ”

"Well, more is better than less. Live your life, don't worry so much. ”

Ouyang Lan snorted, "Whoever wants to worry about her, she'd better make less trouble with me, otherwise believe me or not that day", she stretched out her fist and shook it as she spoke.

"You're done! You're the best. It's all a mother, and she's so childish. You are the main room, she is the side room, you adults don't remember the villain, hurry up and eat. Everybody is watching. ”

Ouyang Lan looked at Zhao Shu and Li Ji on the side looking at herself, and suddenly felt a little ashamed, then tidied up and said, "Eat, eat." ”

Fan Yu just saw Lan Xin and Mrs. Zhou arguing, and seemed to understand, but he didn't understand, so he continued to eat by himself. Ouyang Lan said to Fan Yu: "It's okay to learn from your eldest brother, you know how to eat every day." ”

Fan Yu didn't care, and said with a smile: "When I am as old as my eldest brother, I will definitely be as sensible as my eldest brother." ”

"I hope so."

"Zhao Shu, you can go with you."

When Zhao Shu heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "Hmm." I haven't been back for a long time, so it's time to go back and have a look. ”

"Uncle Ji, you can also go and have a look."

"When the master was here, I followed the master to the north and south, and there was no shortage of trips to the capital. But, alas, old is useless. I'm not as healthy as I used to be, and I'm a little incapable of doing things, so I don't want to be tired from running around. Besides, this villa needs to be taken care of. Go play. ”

"Uncle Ji, you are not old at all. Really, I'm in good health. ”

"Alright. You and the owner of the farm have been raised by me since childhood, and now the children of both of you are so old. This person can't accept old age. You go to the capital and have a good time. ”

"If you say so, then I won't force you. You can leave everything to someone else, and you don't have to work so hard. ”

"It's fine."

After the meal, they went back to their rooms.

The next day, a carriage was prepared at the gate of the villa. Zhao Shu was already waiting by the carriage.

Ouyang Lan has liked pale yellow since she was a child, and she is still wearing pale yellow clothes today. The makeup is simple and light, a pair of big apricot eyes on her fair face are very cute, and Jian Xin on the side carried some luggage and walked to the door with Fan Yu. Li Ji saw him off at the door, and Ouyang Lan said a few words to the housekeeper Li Ji.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou also arrived, and Mrs. Zhou was wearing an orange blouse and a dark blue long skirt, which was particularly conspicuous. There was a dignified fragrance of flowers wafting in his face, his slender face was coated with thick fat powder, and under his black eyebrows was a pair of peach blossom eyes. Mrs. Zhou looks good, but she likes heavy makeup, but she looks quite kitsch.

Ouyang Lan squinted at her and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhao Shu lifted the front curtain of a carriage in front of him, and Lan Xin, Jian Xin and Fan Yu sat inside. Zhao Shu sat on the front railing of the carriage, and when the coachman of the carriage behind signaled to Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu drove the carriage to the direction of the capital.

"Mother, when can we get to the capital?"

"One day is enough. We should be there in the evening. When the time comes, my mother will take you to meet your uncle and aunt. See the world and eat a lot of delicious food. ”

"Good! All right! Li Yu danced happily.

In the carriage behind, Mrs. Zhou said to Li Longzhan in a serious voice: "Long Zhan, let's go to the capital this time." Your grandfather used to be an official in the capital, and your mother also stayed in the capital. There are a lot of dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and you should get to know each other when you have the opportunity, so that you can do things in the future. Mother is such a reliance on you, you have to behave more in front of your father. ”

"Mother, I know. I tried my best. ”

This early morning departure, to today's midday, the night line down the sky. Ouyang Lan and the others, who did not stop for a moment, arrived in Kaifeng City and stopped at the door of the inn where Li Zhentian lived.
