After talking to Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng for a while, a maid came over to spread the word, and the third aunt and grandmother arrived at the gate of the house.

Tianyou listened, and hurriedly beckoned Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng to get up, and the three of them went out together.

As soon as I arrived at the second gate, I saw Cao Yi holding the hand of the maid and getting off the carriage. The three little busyes moved forward and asked Cao Yi for peace.

Cao Yi called up, and then said to Tianyou with a smile: "Today is your good son, my aunt has come to ask for a bowl of noodles." ”

Tianyou took two steps forward, replaced the girl next to Cao Yi, lightly supported Cao Yi's arm, and said in a low voice: "My aunt used my nephew as a cover, who didn't know that my aunt returned to the province through her son because the old lady came back." Not only did my aunt think about the old lady, but the old lady also kept thinking about my aunt. To put it disrespectfully, I didn't see the old lady so concerned about my second aunt and father. ”

Cao Yi smiled with a smile in his eyes, and said angrily: "What are you talking about, which old lady is concerned about, and you can't report it as a grandson?" ”

Tianyou smiled and stopped answering.

Cao Yi turned his head, looked at Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, and said, "I heard that I am going to hire the Ma family and the Zhu family, have you made an appointment?" ”

Zuo Zhu blushed and said: "The Ma family has set the twenty-eighth of this month, and the Zhu family will wait for the father-in-law and stepmother to come back before ordering a son." ”

Although Cao Yi is the daughter of the inner house, because she cares about her brother, she also knows something about the Zhu family. Seeing that Zuo Cheng's face was as usual and she was not uncomfortable, she nodded secretly in her heart, and said: "I finally pulled you up, and my daughter-in-law will also enter the door, and it is not in vain that your mother has guarded for so many years." ”

As he spoke, everyone had already gathered around Cao Yi to the Lan Courtyard.

Li stood under the corridor and was a little excited when he saw Cao Yi.

Seeing this, Cao Yi stepped forward, leaned over and said, "Old lady." ”

Li Shi held her hand, took her hand, looked carefully, and frowned: "Why are you thin again?" Didn't use the food supplement recipe that your sister-in-law sent back at the beginning of the year? ”

"Eating, it's just that these seasons change and there are a lot of chores in the house, so I have reduced a little." Cao Yi said with a little coquettishness.

Li clapped her hand, and the two entered the upper room.

Seeing this, Tianyou, Zuo Zhu, and Zuo Cheng all turned their heads and looked in the direction of Dongfu.

Today, Tianyou is on his birthday, Cao Yi has returned to the province again, and the second old lady will rarely come over. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be sour again.

"This is the kindness of the relatives is greater than the kindness of the relatives!" Tianyou muttered to himself in a low voice.

Zuo Zhu heard this, nodded hurriedly, and said: "That's it, that is, in my heart, only the old lady is the grandmother, and the few uncles in the East Mansion are the uncles; The one over there, always felt like something was missing. ”

Zuo Cheng didn't speak, but between his expressions, he could see that he agreed with his brother's words.

When Tianyou heard this, Lao Cheng said solemnly: "Whether you like it or not, you still have to fulfill the number of courtesies." Speaking from the outside, I won't talk about it. We are juniors, and there is always no room for more words with the word 'filial piety' on the top of our heads. ”

The three brothers whispered outside for a while, and asked Li to talk to Cao Yi before entering the house.

Li ordered the little brother to sit down, and then called a mother-in-law, and ordered to go to Dongfu to invite the second old lady, the fourth wife, and the fourth girl to come over for lunch.

This will be kung fu, milk? Zi brought Tianbao in to greet Cao Yi.

Cao Yi hugged him, got closer, and stuffed an amber pendant into his hand before letting go.

The amber was light yellow, transparent all over, and there was a colorful beetle inside, lifelike.

Tianbao grabbed it in his hand, it was so rare that he walked to Li's side with the pendant, showed it to his grandmother, and held it in front of the three brothers.

Tianyou saw him smiling proudly, touched his head and said, "But remember carefully, although this is honey-colored, it is not sweet, and it can't be sent to your mouth." ”

After Tianbao got sick, I don't know if he was bitter when he took medicine, and he began to like sweets. It's just that the Li family made people stare at it, so they didn't eat bad teeth.

Because of eating too many dumplings, Tianbao's body is much fatter than in the past, and his small face is round, which is very rare to look at.

Seeing that his brother was making fun of himself, Tianbao blushed and ran to Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng.

Zuo Zhu had always been patient, leaning over to scoop up Tianbao, let him sit on his lap, and coax him to speak in a slow voice.

Tianbao has always been close to the left residence, holding the amber pendant with one hand and the buckle on the left placket vest with the other, looking at the posture, he wants to tie the amber pendant to the left button.

He is only five years old, and he is still ignorant, and he still doesn't know the difference between male and female clothing. Just because the pendant was untied by his aunt from the cuff of the placket, he thought that it should have been in that position.

Zuo Zhu saw Tianbao's intentions, hurriedly grabbed Tianbao's little hand, and said, "Don't tie it to Brother Song, Tianbao plays by himself." ”

Tianbao was persistent, holding the amber, and said in a milky voice: "Brother Song is married...... Courtesy ......"

Although it is a childish word, it is also full of true feelings.

Zuo Zhu was moved in his heart, hugged Tianbao tighter, tied the amber pendant to him around his waist, and said softly: "Brother Xinyisong has received it, but this is given by the third aunt, and Tianbao should be put away." ”

Tianbao looked at Zuo Zhu, and then turned to look at Cao Yi, his little face was a little confused.

Amber is not a rare thing, but it is a living thing in good condition, beautiful and flawless in color, and it is not common. It was taken off by Cao Yi from his body again, which can be seen to be good.

Tianyou was afraid that Cao Yi would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "Little brother is really, your eldest brother Song has only been married for a while, you remember to give gifts; Today, the eldest brother said, I don't see you preparing a gift? As he spoke, his eyes stared at the purse under Tianbao's waist.

Tianbao followed his gaze, looked down at his purse, and took it off generously, and then jumped down on his left side and gave it to Tianyou.

It contains Tianbao's favorite preserved fruit, and Tianyou wants to tease the little brother and divert his attention from Amber. Unexpectedly, although his younger brother is young, he is not as protective as ordinary children.

Tianyou was in a good mood, took out a preserved peach from his purse, and said with a smile: "This is worthy of a congratulatory gift." As he spoke, he gave the purse to Tianbao and tied it back.

Seeing that the little grandson was so sensible, Li squinted with a smile. Cao Yi also praised: "After being more than ten years old, their brothers have a good relationship. ”

After Tianbao gave his brother a "congratulatory gift", he remembered that Zuozhu had just confiscated the amber pendant, and ran to Zuozhu again, took out a preserved pear from his purse, and handed it to him.

Zuo Zhu smiled and thanked him, and put the preserved fruit in his mouth. A delicious expression.

"Giggle...... Tianbao's laughter was crisp, and it immediately added a lot of life to the room.

Although Zuo Cheng doesn't like to eat candied fruit, it can be seen that the two brothers have received gifts, which are somewhat sour, and he complains in his heart: "This stinky boy, I forgot who bought these preserved fruits for him!" ”

Fortunately, Tianbao was very obedient, ran to him again, and obediently handed over a piece of red fruit strip.

After giving it to his three elder brothers, Tianbao returned to the kang and snuggled in Li's arms.

Cao Yi had already asked someone to take out a few purses and a half-foot-long box, and said to Li: "A few days ago, I saluted two boxes of amber outside, and I heard that they came from the West. I picked out a few good pieces, had a few pairs of pendants polished, and brought them over today to give them to my nephews. There is still half a box of amber, filial piety to the old lady, can produce a few strings of hand beads, and directly reward people. ”

There are a total of four purses, in addition to Tianyou and Zuozhu brothers, even Hengsheng, who is not in Beijing, also has a share.

Tianyou and Zuozhu took it with both hands, bowed and thanked them, but they wondered in their hearts why there were no immortals.

The Li family also wondered in his heart, Cao Yi's identity was limited, and he didn't have much time to return to Ning, but he cared for Changsheng's younger brother very much, no less than a few nephews.

It wasn't until she opened the purse she had left for Hengsheng and saw that there were pairs of amber inside, mostly with patterns that symbolized yin and yang, that she didn't know why.

At this time, a mother-in-law came to talk back, saying that she had seen the second old lady, and the second old lady would arrive later.

The Li family sent someone to accept the amber, and Zhang Jia's house sent someone over yesterday, saying that the old lady invited her, and the brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng wanted to go over and order something, and they would sue and retreat first.

Tianyou waited for a few elders from Dongfu to come over, asked for peace, and said a few words with him before returning to Kwai Yuan.

It's okay to get up early, but it's a little cloudy at this time, and the wind is blowing "whirring".

Only Le Qing was in the upper room, and she had already turned out a velvet trimmed auspicious vest, and when she saw Tianyou coming back, she wanted to serve him and put it on.

Tianyou said helplessly: "Where is it cold, the jacket on the body is made of thick material,"

Le Qing stood in front of him and said softly: "The autumn wind is hard, and the old lady is not in the mansion now, if the old man is blowing and her body is uncomfortable, won't it make the old lady anxious?" ”

When Tianyou heard this, he let her put it on.

After putting it on, Le Qing stood in front of Tianyou and tied the button on his placket.

Because of the recent thinness, on the back of Le Qing's pale hand, green tendons appeared.

Tianyou looked at her hand, his heart was a little blocked, and he stretched out his hand and covered the back of Le Qing's hand.

Le Qing's hand trembled, and he raised his head, a little flustered.

Tianyou sighed in his heart and said softly: "Sister doesn't have to be anxious anymore, I don't want my sister to go out to match people." When my mother came back, I gave my mother a gift and left my sister in this courtyard for a long time......"

"Uncle......" Le Qing was exposed, and his face couldn't help but turn white in horror, revealing a little frightened: "Uncle, slave maid...... Slave ......"

She shook her head desperately, but she really couldn't go against her heart and say a "no". In a hurry, tears rolled down.

She is nineteen this year, and according to the rules, she will go out to match people next year at the latest.

Because the lord in the house does not have a concubine room, the wife has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the young masters and arranging a room for her son.

Although Le Qing admired Tianyou, she didn't dare to show it at all, on the contrary, she had to follow Chu Yu's instructions to prevent the girl from getting bigger and bigger to hook up with Tianyou.

Mo Zhi just thought about him and acted wrongly, so he asked Le Qing to find a reason, warn him, and send him out temporarily. However, this also aroused her heart, and these children were unable to sleep and eat, and they were haggard.

Tianyou's words, Le Qing didn't feel happy, only ashamed and afraid.

I was ashamed that my thoughts and uneasiness fell in the eyes of Tianyou, and I was afraid that it was the matter that would be revealed, which made my wife misunderstand that she was bad...... * Qingyuan was on the official road to the capital, because of the wind outside, Chu Yu ordered people through the curtain and asked her husband to get into the carriage.

In the drawer of the saddle, there are clean towels. Cao Hao felt that his face was full of dust, so he took a towel and wiped it before he felt better.

Thinking that there were still three or two days of kung fu to be able to get to Beijing, Chu Yu was a little excited, and said: "In Qingyuan before, there was really no suitable person; This is back in the capital, Tianhui can wait a little longer, but the relationship between Tianyou and Hengsheng has to be negotiated......"
