Xiahou Zhong saw a group of people outside the gate of the mansion from a distance, surrounded by female relatives in the middle of a gray-haired, wrinkled old lady, Xiahou Zhong turned over and dismounted, walked to the old lady and knelt down directly, kowtowed a few times and shouted: "Unfilial piety is back, which makes my mother worried." The old lady's handkerchief wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded again and again: "Okay, just come back." ”

Mama Chen stepped forward to help Xiahou Zhong up, and then Xiahou Xuan, who walked to the side, knelt down and said, "My grandson is also back, I wish my grandmother a long life and eternal health!"

The words made the old lady laugh directly, pointed at Xiahou Xuan and said, "You leather monkey, how can you say that you are also a person who has been on the battlefield, why are you still as stubborn as a child?"

Xiahou Xuan got up and said with a smile: "I will always be a child by my grandmother's side. ”

The old lady laughed and hammered a few punches when she heard this, Xiahou Zhong looked around and fell on Lin's face, and Lin said with a hint of shyness on his face: "Concubine to the master." ”

Xiahou nodded: "You have also worked hard." ”

As soon as Lin heard this, tears directly wet his eyes, and he really wanted to rush into Xiahouzhong's arms to complain about his grievances for so many years, and dipped his handkerchief in the corner of his eyes and said: "The concubine is not hard, Hou Ye is at the border to resist such a big risk of foreign enemies, which really worries the concubine, and now that Hou Ye has returned safely, the concubine is also relieved." ”

"Big brother. Xiahou Ting and Xiahou Lin also walked in front of them, and Xiahou Ting directly hugged Xiahou Zhong.

Xiahou Ting has been recuperating for so many days, and when he saw Xiahou Shuang return safely, he put his heart back into his stomach, and he was extremely happy to see Xiahou Center, who had returned full of honor.

"Let's all go in and talk. As soon as the old lady spoke, everyone went back to Yanhe Hall directly.

Entering the house, Xiahou Ting carefully supported the jade lady who was about to give birth and stepped forward and said, "Big brother, this is the jade girl." ”

Dong Yuniang hurriedly saluted, but her body was inconvenient to move, Xiahou Zhong nodded, signaling to hurry up, and Xiahou Ting said: "I didn't expect you to be a father too, but you can't run around in the future." ”

Seeing that the eldest brother still regarded himself as a child, Xia Houting smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I will listen to the eldest brother." ”

Xiahou Xuan squeezed up and said, "I didn't expect us to come back in such a timely manner, just in time to see the younger brother who was about to be born." ”

Xiahou Lin smiled and said: "When you come back this time, you will also let your mother show you a family affair, and then you will see your own children." ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Xuan's face was directly distorted into a bitter gourd face, and he waved his hand again and again, and Xiahou Ting smiled: "This is not up to you." ”

When everyone in the house was lively, the maid outside the door whispered: "Third Miss." ”

It turned out that Xiahou Yan arrived, and after entering the house, Xiahou Yan saluted everyone, and finally came to Xiahou Zhong to salute and said, "Father." ”

Today is the day when Xiahou Zhong came back, everyone was waiting for Xiahou Zhong at the door, but they forgot to inform Xiahou Yan, and when Lin remembered to ask the maid to call Xiahou Yan, Xiahou Zhong had already arrived at the door, this time to delay, and when Xiahou Zhong returned to Yanhe Hall, Xiahou Yan appeared.

Xiahou Zhong looked at Yan'er standing in front of him, a few years have passed, Yan'er has grown from a little girl to a big girl, and today she looks even more delicate and cute in green clothes, but when she thought of what this daughter did, Xiahou Zhong frowned unconsciously, and said lightly: "Yan'er is here, sit down." ”

Xiahou Yan came dressed up with joy, in exchange for Xiahou's lukewarm tone, a grievance in her heart, biting her lip and silently retreating to the side, Lin saw that her daughter was left out in the cold, and her heart was distressed, and the handkerchief in her hand was torn twice, and she lowered her head to hide the annoyance in her eyes.

Xiahou Xuan has never had a good impression of this third sister, and he didn't come forward to say hello when he saw this.

Lin launched Xiahou Bo and said: "Master Hou, this is Bo'er, Bo'er call his father quickly." ”

Xiahou Bo said with a straight face: "The child greets his father." ”

Xiahou Zhong pulled Xiahou Bo to look up and down and asked, "This is Bo'er, it's so tall, if you don't say it, you really don't recognize it at a glance." ”

Wang covered his lips and smiled: "Master Hou is really joking, how can his own child not recognize it." ”

The old lady said on the side: "The doll that Bo'er was still walking with teeth when the boss left, is now a big child who has gone to school, of course, it is not recognizable at a glance." ”

Hearing this, Wang only felt speechless, and said with a sneer: "It's the daughter-in-law who is stupid and didn't think of this." ”

Xiahou Zhong pulled Xiahou Bo to ask long and short questions, Xu is the nature of father and son, although Xiahou Bo is unfamiliar with Xiahou Zhong, he still has a feeling of admiration, and answers Xiahou Zhong's questions one by one.

Xiahou Zhong took his eldest son to the border all the year round, and when he thought of the second son in the house, he also felt that he was lacking, and now he saw that Xiahou Bo, who was no longer growing up in front of him, seemed to be so obedient and sensible for a while, and felt happy after being relieved, Lin would educate Boer really well.

He looked at Xia Houyan again, and shook his head unconsciously, this daughter is already like this, I hope she can keep to herself in the future, and after she gets married in a few years, she and the Hou Mansion will support her, and the days will not be difficult to pass.

The family didn't talk for long together, the old lady was already tired, Xia Houzhong was worried about his mother's body, and asked: "I don't know if my mother has invited the imperial doctor to come for treatment, if not, I will implore the emperor to let the imperial doctor come for diagnosis and treatment tomorrow." ”

The old lady is old, and she has been sick for so long, and today she is even more emotionally fluctuating, and now she is lying on the soft couch.

"I have invited the doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, but it is no big deal, only because the old lady is older, so the good is slow, and after a few days these medicines are used up, I will ask the doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment. Mama Chen continued on the side.

Xia Houzhong nodded: "Then mother have a good rest, and when these medicines are used up, I will invite the doctor to come." ”

The old lady left everyone to have lunch in Yanhe Hall, because the old lady had a poor appetite, just put down the dishes and chopsticks after using a little, Xiahou Shuang saw this and came to the old lady and said: "Grandmother, this is the plum blossom porridge that the granddaughter specially explained to the kitchen, and the grandmother is also asked to use some of it." ”

The fresh plum blossoms are wrapped in gauze and boiled in water for a few times, and then quickly scooped up, and the sparkling rice is put into the water and boiled for half an hour, and you can smell the freshness of the plum blossoms and the fragrance of the rice from a distance.

The old lady also had some appetite when she smelled it, and when Xiahou Shuang saw this, she directly took out a small bowl and fed it to the old lady's mouth.

I don't know if it's because the porridge is delicious or because the return of Xiahou Shuang and Xiahou Zhong made the old lady have a big appetite, and after eating an extra bowl of rice after this meal, Mama Chen smiled happily in her heart.

During this time, the old lady watched the rapid aging with the naked eye, but also because of the loss of appetite, the tea did not think, and the weight was very thin, Xiahou Shuang was suddenly frightened at first sight, not to mention Xiahou Zhong, who had not returned for several years, although he didn't say it, but looking at his mother's decaying appearance, he was worried, and today's meal was used a lot under Xiahou Shuang's persuasion, and this time he was relieved.

There is a lot of strength in the stomach, and after everyone has eaten, the old lady said to everyone: "You guys disperse early, go back, the boss has worked very hard all the way, go back early to rest, if you have anything to say, it's not too late for our mother and son to talk tomorrow." ”

Xia Houzhong saw that his mother had a tired look on her face, and she knew in her heart that she must have been holding on so that she didn't lie down, so she couldn't help but nodded, "Then we'll go back first." ”
