"Do you want me to make a statement?" Zhao Shu's thoughts turned slightly, the cup was already to his lips, but he didn't drink it, and looked at Zhao Qingyan's reaction with his eyes.

Zhao Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked at the desktop, and the corners of his lips maintained a faint smile, as if he didn't care about his reaction. But when he put it on the table, his fingers habitually curled up, showing the tension in his heart.

Zhao Shu was relieved, raised his head and drank the wine cleanly, and said with a light smile: "Naturally, I want to drink, it's a great joy that Brother Mo has finally gotten married after so long." I wish you husband and wife are united and have children and grandchildren. We've been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

Zhao Qingyan saw that Zhao Shu gave a expression, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a light smile: "Then thank the imperial brother first, and inherit the imperial brother's auspicious words." ”

Zhao Baiyi didn't notice the strangeness between their words and laughter, just drank the wine dry, and lit the bottom of the cup to Zhao Qingyan: "What the eldest brother said is yes, I have waited for a long time for the day you get married, and you are finally willing?"

Zhao Qingyan spread his hands helplessly: "After all, there is no way to shirk it, if you get married, you will get married, like the second brother, don't you play like this?"

Zhao Baiyi said: "You have a better temperament than me, and you can take care of people, you must be better than me." ”

Zhao Qingyan raised his eyebrows lightly: "Not necessarily." ”

Zhao Shu sighed, not knowing what to say about them: "Isn't it good to have someone who shares weal and woe with you?

Zhao Qingyan denied: "I don't think I have this kind of thought. I'm afraid that I will become a burden to her, and besides, if I have no affection, how can I share weal and woe? Brother Huang doesn't know me, how can I stand it if someone sleeps with me?"

Zhao Shu glanced at him: "It's because you don't sleep well that you should find someone to take good care of you." ”

Zhao Baiyi echoed: "That is, if you don't marry the first beauty in the rivers and lakes, who else do you want?"

Zhao Qingyan saw that they were about to come to another wave of "lessons", and hurriedly said: "Stop, didn't I already say that I was going to get married? I will be hired in a few months, this is not okay?"

Zhao Shu didn't say much, only said: "Cherish it." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said to herself casually: "Compared with her, I would rather marry a mediocre woman who can love me." ”

Everyone only saw his mouth move a few times, but they didn't hear what he said, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you just say?"

Zhao Qingyan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it may have been smoked by oil smoke, and I don't have much appetite." How are you eating?"

Zhao Ying stuck out her tongue: "I forgot that Brother Mo is not in good health, and I asked Brother Mo to cook so many dishes." ”

Zhao Qingyan rubbed her hair and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I finally asked Ying'er to make something to eat, how can I refuse? ”

Zhao Ying blinked: "Then let's get together more in the future, don't let Brother Mo cook by himself in the future, just eat what the kitchen makes." ”

Zhao Baiyi teased: "I feel so sorry for him?"

Zhao Ying glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "I just blame you, so I tired Brother Mo." ”

Zhao Baiyi deliberately pursed his lips and twisted his head: "The child really can't keep his heart when he is older, so I forget that the second brother is good to you." How old is your brother Mo? When you were a child, I hugged you and coaxed you to be happy, but I forgot about it? Hmph, it's only been a few years, but I think my brother is a bad person?"

Zhao Shu and Zhao Qingyan were both stunned, and their faces changed a little. Zhao Shu picked up the empty wine cup and held it to his lips and looked at Zhao Qingyan.

Zhao Qingyan also knew that Zhao Shu might look at him, so he forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and touched Zhao Ying's hair with a smile: "Look, make the second brother unhappy, right?" took the opportunity to glance at Zhao Baiyi.

Zhao Baiyi's expression was as usual, and he didn't have any pretentious expression. Although Zhao Baiyi is not the kind of rugged person who shows all his thoughts on his face, he is not good at calculating and pretending, and he is even more unsuspecting of these brothers. With just a glance, Zhao Qingyan could determine that he said this sentence purely by accident and was not assigned by Zhao Shu.

Zhao Ying shrunk his neck: "Brother Mo, don't touch my hair anymore, I'm not a child anymore!"

Zhao Qingyan had stabilized her emotions, withdrew her hand in response to Zhao Ying's complaints, and said with a smile: "Second brother saw it, right? Ying'er won't let me touch her hair anymore, we are both fallen people at the end of the world." ”

Zhao Baiyi smiled: "Look, Ying'er is blushing and shy?

Zhao Shu also returned to normal, put down the wine cup and smiled slightly: "I guess, she must have been angry because she was hugged by you when she was a child." ”

Zhao Ying's face turned even redder, and he said with disgust: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense, it's not!"

Zhao Baiyi suddenly realized: "That's because I feel ashamed to treat her brother like this, so I blush." ”

Zhao Ying said: "It's not!"

Zhao Baiyi raised his face: "That's it!"

Zhao Ying said: "It's not!"

Zhao Baiyi immediately said: "It must be!"

Zhao Ying was anxious: "It's not you!"

Zhao Baiyi was stunned, and then laughed: "Okay, I understand." ”

Zhao Ying also realized that he had accidentally told the truth, his face turned even redder, and he said angrily: "Second brother, you are so annoying!"

Seeing that Zhao Ying was anxious, Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but smile and persuade: "Okay, second brother, don't tease her." ”

Zhao Shu echoed: "Yes, Yunyi just know it, don't say it." ”

Zhao Ying was even more angry, snorted heavily and twisted his head.

Zhao Qingyan looked at the two people who were looking at each other and smiled helplessly, and handed a bowl of lotus root soup to Zhao Ying: "Okay, don't be angry, if you are angry, you will let them be happy." Come and drink some soup, don't get angry when eating, it's not good for your health, and it's easy to become ugly. ”

Zhao Ying hesitated, but obediently took the soup bowl and lowered his head to take a few sips.

Zhao Qingyan put some of her favorite dishes into her bowl, and when she saw her drinking the soup in small sips, she couldn't help but smile: "Is it delicious?"

Zhao Ying nodded: "Well, it's delicious." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "If it's delicious, drink more, eat a few more bites, and then you won't feel angry." ”

Zhao Ying was also a child's temper, so she was discouraged after coaxing a few sentences, looked at the dishes piled up in front of her, and looked at Zhao Qingyan's meal that she had only eaten a few bites: "You also eat too little, right?"

Zhao Shu said: "That's it, you've been picking fish bones for Ying'er, and you haven't eaten a few bites in total." She's so old, let her eat by herself, don't let the next person come, you eat a few more bites. Although Zhao Ying was a little dissatisfied, he also knew that Zhao Shu was talking about things, and he did not speak out against it.

Zhao Qingyan looked at the table full of delicacies and smiled slightly wryly: "Brother Huang, I really don't have much appetite." I usually eat pastries and drink porridge, but I am not very hungry when I eat seriously. Brother Huang doesn't care about me, I eat almost enough. ”

Zhao Shu simply ignored him and said directly to Jin'er: "Give your young master a bowl of porridge, otherwise he should be uncomfortable drinking so much wine." ”

Jin'er smiled in response, deliberately took a large bowl full of a bowl of porridge and put it in front of Zhao Qingyan, and stepped aside without waiting for him to complain.

Zhao Qingyan sighed lightly, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth and swallowed it.

Zhao Baiyi looked at his son who had never stopped talking beside him, and said sadly: "Your habit of not liking to eat has not changed until now, when can Su'er eat a few bites? ”

Zhao Qingyan frowned and swallowed the last spoonful of porridge in the bowl, and let Zhao Baiyi look at the empty bowl: "Look, I ate a lot." ”

Zhao Baiyi's eyebrows jumped: "Actually, I've always wondered about one thing, can you taste it? Why do I think you are more uncomfortable eating vegetables than taking medicine?"

Zhao Qingyan said angrily: "Of course I can taste the taste, Zhu Yangai has not yet reached the point where I don't know the taste." "Avoid talking about the second half of his questions.

Zhao Baiyi didn't intend to ask, but asked another thing: "You shouldn't have anything to do for a few months after that, right?

Zhao Qingyan was stunned: "Go out, it's already so cold, where are you going?"

Zhao Baiyi asked incomprehensibly, "Don't you know what fun things are going to be near the Wooden Horse Hou Mansion?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head and said: "I don't know, I've been busy with all kinds of trivial matters recently, and I don't know all those anecdotes on the rivers and lakes." ”

Zhao Baiyi said: "Just around the time of your employment next month, there will be a top card competition on the painting boat not far from the Trojan Marquis Mansion, and there are not many times when the four top brands gather." Moreover, it is said to be the 'top brand' that has prevailed in the rivers and lakes in recent years. It is said that in addition to those Qinglou women, there are also a lot of young ladies who can participate in it, sitting behind the heavy curtain and stroking the qin and poetry. Set up a gambling game, and the last few of the top ones are calligraphy and painting and famous piano gifts. How's that? Interested?"

Zhao Ji asked a little puzzled: "Miss Gongzi and the Qinglou woman compete together?"

Zhao Baiyi understood what he meant, and explained: "There are far fewer rules on the rivers and lakes, and things like this that only happen once in a few years are quite lively, and few people will generally be bound by etiquette and not participate." Moreover, just touching the qin to the poem, and there is a curtain to cover it, so you don't have to appear in front of people, and you are naturally lively. Seventh brother?"

Zhao Qingyan came back to his senses, saw Zhao Baiyi looking at him, and smiled apologetically: "I was a little distracted just now, you didn't say anything important, right?"

Zhao Baiyi said: "There is no important thing, I just talked to Xiao Ji about the top card." ”

"It's a big deal...... Zhao Qingyan pinched his eyebrows, a little worried, "I know this, once every three years, I have always wanted to come, and the first two times were delayed." But the time is not convenient, is it? Go to the dowry, and I will go to the flower boat with you?

Zhao Baiyi said: "There's nothing inappropriate, right? The Trojan Horse Hou Mansion is a full family of rivers and lakes, and the Hou Ye won't care too much about these things, right? If he cares so much about these vulgar rites, he can't let you delay it again and again, Mu Qinghan should have married to the Qi Wangfu two or three years ago." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled bitterly: "That's the case, but it seems too unimportant, right?"

Zhao Baiyi said: "Oh, it's definitely fine, Master Hou definitely won't mind." Seventh Brother...... What do you think I'm doing?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at him deeply: "I know, Bai Zhen told you about the trouble, right?"

Zhao Baiyi was surprised: "How do you know?"

Zhao Qingyan sighed and said helplessly: "Who else will tell you that there will be interesting stories about the troubles there?" Just looking at your repeated promises, I am even more sure. The person who can tell you that Hou Ye will not mind is Bai Gongzi except Hou Ye himself. Okay, I know, I'll go. ”

Zhao Baiyi also understood the meaning of Bai Zhen's invitation when he heard him say this: "Do you think that Trojan Marquis intends to take this opportunity to test his beloved son-in-law's character again?"

Zhao Qingyan's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but raise his forehead and asked: "Can you not talk in a weird way? My character? Who will test the character of the son-in-law until the dowry arrives at the door of the house? Probably Bai Zhen or Wen Lun wants to see me." ”

Zhao Baiyi asked, "Who is Wen Lun?"
