Jun Li finally made up his mind, so he took a moment to change into the blue shirt on weekdays, replaced the white plain clothes that were a little scary, and took advantage of this time to think back and forth in his heart about four or five ways and words to meet and greet his father-in-law, sister, and sister-in-law.

In addition to him, there are other Taoist priests. It's no wonder that with those elders with long beards and fairy wind bones, the birthday feast is more presentable.

Jun Li quietly followed, and no one doubted his identity, so he entered the gate.

It was nearly noon. As soon as Jun Li stepped into the courtyard, he heard someone shouting at the door: "It's Miss-Miss is back! Hurry up!"

A woman in a green dress suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall inside, hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt, and went to the door. Isn't this woman the sister-in-law of the year? Jun Li looked at her back and was suspicious, only to hear a woman's voice at the door laughing: "I'm really sorry, we're late, Dad isn't angry, right?"

Jun Lixin mentioned it again. Although more than ten years have passed, my sister Gu Xiaomeng's voice is still as crisp and crisp as when she was a girl. He saw two women walking in side by side, and hurriedly hid in the shade and peeked in many places. Sure enough, one was her sister-in-law Teng Ying, and Gu Xiaomeng was dressed in a pink and purple silk veil with a silk thread, and her face was as beautiful as ever, but her hair was pulled up into a bun, as if she was already a married woman.

He sighed in his heart, and half-hid his face to avoid it. The two of them were walking by themselves, only to hear Teng Ying say: "Didn't you say that you should come back in the afternoon, it's still early." Gu Xiaomeng replied, "I thought I would come earlier to help my sister-in-law, but it was too late - when I saw my father, my sister-in-law would rest for a while and leave it to me." ”

"It's not busy, it's just--why are you mother and daughter here? Could it be that you don't even ...... your master's birthday?"

Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile: "How dare he slack off on Daddy's birthday, and still supervise the ceremony at home." I thought that my father was always talking about stabbing and stabbing, so I took her first-"

Jun Li felt a sigh in his heart. I saw Gu Xiaomeng say, and suddenly turned around: "Where did the thorn run again? Grandpa don't even want to see it." ”

That's right. Jun Li thought to himself. The "thorns" I saw in the forest that day were all seventeen or eighteen, and my sister was much older than herself, so where did she come from such a big daughter, she must not be the same person.

Teng Ying had already pointed to the direction of the door and said, "Oh, isn't it there?" Oh, Cheng Zuo has also arrived, I'll take a look." ”

Jun Li's heart jumped again. Cheng Zuo's envoy? Is he here too? He raised his eyes to look, but before he saw "Cheng Zuo's envoy," he had already seen a "thorn" standing not far from the door.

One—a thorn he had clearly seen that day.

She is still as bright as that day. The girls were hiding from the scorching sun and shade, but she stood unconsciously like this, talking and laughing with the people opposite. The person on the other side was the young man he had seen in the tavern that day, and when he looked closely, he had clear eyebrows, a straight nose and straight lips, and he looked more and more heroic. Compared with the thorns, this young man's appearance seems to be more flawless.

Of course, such a young man will not go unnoticed, so he heard someone talking about it around him, and if he knew it, he said: "That is the son of Cheng Fangyu, the left envoy of Qinglong, who is exactly eighteen years old this year, and his name is Cheng Ping." Just listening to the name, I really can't imagine that it will be such a handsome teenager. ”

"I don't know how it compares to Master Gu's grandson. Someone chimed in.

"Yes, the little young master of the Gu family, Rufei, is also eighteen, and he is also a talent. ”

The man who spoke first said: "If you want me to say, if you talk about appearance, the son of the Cheng family has nothing to say, don't talk about Huizhou, that is, count the princes and brothers of Lin'an Mansion, I bet that they are not as handsome as him......; The Gu family has a big business, and it is a hundred times worse than the Cheng family. ”

"The Cheng family is not bad. ”

"Hey, but he's a member of the Blue Dragon Sect, and on the day of licking blood on his knife, are you willing to marry your daughter to him?"

"That's right. ”

Jun Li listened, only to find that many of these Huizhou people who came to celebrate his birthday came with their daughters. The girls are all dressed up in fancy ways, and some of them are not bad to look at. But--did they really think that this would make the little young master of the Gu family named Rufei fall in love at first sight? Having said that, this birthday, it turns out that for these people, there are so many small calculations underneath. As a monk, of course, I don't understand......

He thought to himself, but his eyes didn't take his eyes off the door. This handsome young man is actually the son of Cheng Zuo's envoy who saved his life back then; whose family is this girl called Thorn? It can't really be his sister's -- how is it possible, when he was in the Gu family more than ten years ago, his sister was clearly still in the boudoir.

He saw that Teng Ying had arrived at the door, and he was greeting Cheng Fangyue, and was looking at it in a daze, when suddenly someone next to him slapped him hard and shouted, "Jun Li, you are Jun Li!"

He was like a fish that had suddenly been caught out of the water, and he didn't know how to struggle to defend himself. However, he didn't have to struggle. It was none other than Gu Xiaomeng who recognized herself, and her sister, who had always been a little "unreserved", had already come up and hugged him fiercely, and said, "I've grown so big, I want to kill my sister!"

Although Jun Li was also happy and excited in his heart, he never liked to be pointed out and watched, and he was speechless. Gu Xiaomeng didn't care about this, he took Jun Li's hand and greeted Teng Ying, shouting, "Sister-in-law, come and see who this is!"

"Sister, don't ......" Jun Li subconsciously resisted, only hoping that she wouldn't make a big deal about this recognition again. But where could he be worthy of Gu Xiaomeng's enthusiasm, and in addition, Teng Ying only glanced at him, and immediately recognized it.

Rao is Teng Ying is restrained temperament, and his face also showed joy, and shouted: "Jun Li!"

Seeing that Cheng Fangyue was also going inside, Jun Li didn't want to have one more person to recognize him, so he hurriedly turned his head away and said in a low voice: "I'm just here to see my father-in-law, if you do this again, I'll leave." ”

Unexpectedly, Cheng Fangyue and Gu Xiaomeng were very familiar with each other, and when they saw her holding a Taoist priest, it was naturally impossible not to ask. Jun Li had no choice but to turn around. Fortunately, Cheng Fangyue didn't seem to have such a deep impression of him, and when he heard Gu Xiaomeng say that it was the old man's righteous son before, he just nodded, and didn't think that he had anything to do with the little Taoist priest in the tavern in the past.

Jun Li saluted him, and his eyes had already caught a glimpse of Cheng Ping and Thorn standing next to him looking at him, especially Thorn, whose flickering eyes were so curious that they seemed to be able to eat people. When he found that he was looking at her again, Thorn smiled and said, "Brother Taoist, I see you again!"

"It's not big, it's not small!" Gu Xiaomeng scolded lightly, and then said to Jun Li: "This is my daughter, named Thorn." ”

Jun Li was surprised, but he didn't want to ask something.

Of course, Gu Xiaomeng also saw his doubts, but he only smiled, and then turned his head: "Thorn, how can people scream indiscriminately, they should be called uncle!"

He stabbed and said, "Uncle." ”

Jun Li was a little at a loss how to respond. Cheng Fangyue next to him laughed and said to Gu Xiaomeng: "It's really difficult to have a young mother like you. ”

"Well, there's a lot of people here. Teng Ying smiled, "Jun Li has always been shy, and he doesn't say a word." He also kissed the old man, and went to meet the old man quickly to talk. ”

Gu Xiaomeng responded, so he retreated to Cheng Fangyu's father and son, and the group went to see Gu Shizhong.

Jun Li is certainly strange about the origin of the thorn, and of course the thorn is also strange about Jun Li's identity - "uncle", that is, this young Taoist priest is his mother's brother. But she had never heard of such a person, and she couldn't help but feel a little weird, and she just followed him all the way and kept looking at him.

Jun Li never likes to be in front, if he can, he would like to be at the end. Unfortunately, whenever he slowed down, the thorn would slow down as well, and it would be like a prank. He couldn't help it, knowing that he was being watched by her with those eyes, so he had to let her see it.

Gu Shizhong sat alone in the study. It's not that I can't hear the excitement outside, it's just that I'm older, and I'm a little tired after all, and I don't have the strength to say hello one by one. He himself did not advocate making the birthday feast bigger, let alone not having a big birthday, so why bother asking for trouble.

It's a pity that the family business has become big in the past few years, and some things can't be escaped.

When the group walked over, the old housekeeper would withdraw from Gu Shizhong's room, thinking that he had cleared the list of congratulatory gifts in the morning and showed them to the old man. Gu Shizhong only glanced at it and put it aside. said that the afternoon and evening are the best for their relatives and friends to gather, and those who come early in the morning are just some dispensable.

The door was open, and Jun Li saw the gray-haired old man in it from a distance. He only felt a sour heart, and his right hand clenched involuntarily.

The old housekeeper had already saluted Gu Xiaomeng and the others. Gu Shizhong knew that his daughter was here, and he was overjoyed. This daughter has rarely come back since she married in Qinglong Valley, and she doesn't see her a few times a year, so it is naturally one of the happiest things to see her daughter at a birthday feast. However, this time Gu Xiaomeng was not as coquettish as before, he just strode in, shouted Dad, and said, "Look who I brought!"

Gu Shizhong smiled: "It must be a thorn." From this tone, Jun Li could hear that the thorn was also very favored by the old man.

"The thorn is here, but what else?" Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile.

Gu Shizhong had already seen Jun Li.

His lips trembled suddenly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he looked at him like this. Jun Li took two steps forward, leaned over and knocked down: "Jun Li has seen his father-in-law!"

"Jun Li ......" Gu Shizhong trembled slightly and hugged him. "It's really you...... It's really you ......."

Jun Li didn't dare to look up. He could hear the choking in his words, the kind of choking that rose from joy, and it was not false at all. He even wanted to cry for a while, because he never thought that many years later, this family would not blame him for seeing him, from his sister to his sister-in-law to his father-in-law, they all treated him sincerely. Was it really the right thing to leave, and if it could be chosen again, what then?

"Father-in-law, I ...... I'm ......."

"It's good if you come back...... It's good to come back......" Gu Shizhong seemed to know what he was going to say, hurriedly interrupted him, calmed down, got up and tightened his shoulders, and said loudly: "Okay, good, this is really the best congratulatory gift I received today!" He called Jun Li to get up, and wanted to talk to him carefully, or even the daughter and granddaughter who always hurt him the most.

"Dad, you're too selfish to do this. Gu Xiaomeng said coquettishly. "We're going to have a chat with Jun Li too!"

Gu Shizhong asked everyone to sit down, and asked people to serve tea, and the family talked about the past ten years in the room. When he heard that the old Taoist chief had passed away, Gu Shizhong was also very sad, and shook his head again and again: "I didn't expect the Taoist to leave so suddenly. ”

Because the lunch banquet was a flowing water banquet, Gu Shizhong ordered the housekeeper to invite everyone to take care of themselves. The Gu family had to accompany the guests at the table, and they still invited people several times, but in the end, they had to let the little young master Gu Rufei come over and call grandpa, saying that many villagers were waiting, and Gu Shizhong got up.

"I forgot about it. Gu Xiaomeng smiled and stood up. "Jun Li and we will have dinner first, shall we talk while eating. ”

Gu Rufei didn't look happy and looked at Jun Li several times. Shi Cai Gu Xiaomeng asked the thorn to call his uncle outside, and he naturally saw it, because he saw that several people were going out, he grabbed the thorn and said in a low voice: "Cousin, where did that person come from?"

Before the thorn could answer him, Rufei's mother Teng Ying turned around and said, "It's the righteous son that your grandfather received in the past, and he came to congratulate your grandfather on his birthday today, and you remember to call Uncle when you look back." ”

"Yizi Yizi, why haven't I ever seen him come back!" Gu Rufei muttered. "Is his surname Gu too?"

Teng Ying hesitated, "It should be surnamed Gu......

Gu Rufei was displeased again, "It is said that all of them are surnamed Gu, and none of them have come back, Yifei hasn't figured out whose family it is, and this time there is another one." ”

Teng Ying said in a deep voice: "Don't say it!" Looking ahead, Jun Li, Gu Xiaomeng and Master Gu should not have heard it, only the stab left at the end and stuck out his tongue.
