However, before his 'master' could be spoken, Dong Ce put his finger to his lips and made a silent movement, and said in a low voice: "Shhhh ”

Bai Mo had some doubts in his eyes, he didn't know what his idea was, but when he saw his master so ordered, he just did it. He quickly picked up the rag on the ground and shook it, then leaned in front of Dong Ce, lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Master, you are back, but you want to die." ”

His youthful temperament, plus the rules of the previous master family were not very big, Dong Ce was also quite indulgent to him, and he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he was a little out of order in front of Dong Ce, no big or small.

However, Dong Ce didn't care, he waved his hand and said, "I'll talk to you later." ”

Dong Ce stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a lazy, slightly hoarse voice came from inside: "Who?" ”

This hoarse is not the kind of hoarseness that is full of magnetism and seduction, but the kind of hoarseness that screams like a broken voice.

Dong Ce listened to it very familiarly, it was the voice of the eldest girl, obviously, the sound of the horn outside did not attract the attention of the people in the inner house, but I was afraid that the eldest girl had not guessed that she was back.

Dong Ce didn't speak, but continued to knock on the door, and the voice inside the door suddenly became impatient: "Who the hell is this?" Be a lady, right? ”

Then, the door opened.

The big girl was violent, and her face was full of anger, and she appeared in front of Dong Ce. Her face was as round as a basin, full of meat, and she seemed to be much fatter than before, and now it was a big lump of meat, and the clothes on her body were stretched tightly. It's just that her original complexion was yellow to black, but now she is much fairer, and it seems that this period of time should be quite moisturized.

The eldest girl was holding a thick rolling pin in her hand, and she was pushing open the door violently as if she was about to come out and fight to the death, but when she raised her foot, she saw Dong Ce, and suddenly the whole person froze.

Dong Ce smiled and groaned: "What, you don't know me?" ”

The eldest girl didn't answer, but just looked at him blankly for a while, and suddenly turned around, and ran crazy inside, shouting loudly as she ran: "The master is back, the master is back!" ”

The voice was loud, and I was afraid that the entire mansion inside and outside the house could be heard clearly.

Then there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the inner house, and the shouts of people kept coming. Dong Ce was not in a hurry, just waiting patiently outside. After a long while, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, Dong Ce raised his eyes, and saw a woman in costume in front of him, and several other people surrounded him, walking quickly to this side.

The woman in costume was in her twenties, very beautiful, dressed very solemnly, with complicated and gorgeous clothes, with a full head on her head, and the whole person looked very dignified. The makeup on the face is also very exquisite, and you can see that it was dressed up before it came out.

Who is it if it's not Red Sleeves?

And standing next to her was Liu, who was much more plain in her clothes, but the ordinary green cloth clothes couldn't hide her figure.

The eyes of the two women looking at Dong Ce were watery, but the eyes of the red sleeves looking at him were full of excitement, longing and attachment, while Liu's eyes were a little more shy and expectant.

Red Sleeves walked not far in front of Dong Ce, then stopped and looked at him in a daze. Her lips moved, her whole body trembled, her eyes were a little red, and she seemed to be about to burst into Dong Ce's arms and cry bitterly to vent her feelings of longing during this time. But after all, she still had to maintain her face as a housewife in the house, controlled her emotions, and was very reserved and slightly blessed, and said softly: "The concubine welcomes the master back to the house." ”

In front of everyone, Dong Ce will not be too light on her, but will maintain her face.

He stepped forward, rolled up his red sleeves, and said with a slight smile: "Madame, please get up, these days the husband is not there, and Mrs. Lao is in charge of the family, Mrs. Hard." ”

This sentence made Red Sleeves almost unable to control the emotions in his heart, and tears almost fell.

With his words, the hardships and things he has done during these days seem to have paid off.

Dong Ce stared at the red sleeves, and there seemed to be infinite tenderness surging in his eyes, but at this time, it was really not good to have any affectionate behavior in front of the public. He is nothing, but Redsleeves is thin-skinned, and if she does that, I am afraid that she will be a little unable to get off the stage in front of everyone.

Therefore, Dong Ce only gently pinched the little hand of the red sleeve and said softly: "I'll go to see my mother first." ”

Red Sleeves was a little shy, and smiled slightly: "It should be so." ”

The eldest girl, the second girl and the Liu family all dispersed, Dong Ce and Red Sleeves went all the way into the living room, and Qiao's was sitting in the hall, sipping tea very leisurely.

The old lady was wearing a brand-new satin dress, with a bright red pattern of rich flowers and branches, and the old lady wore it like that, but it added a bit of spirit, and it looked very rich. A lot of her hair is already silver-white, but she is very clean, and her face is also very ruddy, even a little fatter than when Dong Ce left, and the whole person looks very good.

Qiao's has always been very calm, just heard Dong Ce's movement, she still sat firmly in the hall and did not get up, at this time Dong Ce came in, she only raised her eyelids slightly, and said lightly: "Are you back?" ”

It seems that Dong Ce did not go thousands of miles away, but just went out to Anxiangdun for a turn, and went back the same day.

"Yes, the boy is back."

Dong Ce took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said, "Is everything okay with my mother?" ”

Qiao Shi pointed to himself and smiled slightly: "Everything is fine, everything is fine." In the days when you are away, Red Sleeves has managed this house very well, everything is in order, and my wife is also served very well by her, don't you look a little fatter than before? ”

As she spoke, she looked at Hongxiu, with a touch of kindness in her eyes, feeling that she seemed to be closer to Hongsleeves than to Dong Ce, her own son.

Dong Ce smiled: "It's good that my mother is fine." ”

Dong Ce looked at the red sleeves again: "Thank you so much." ”

Red Sleeves lowered his head, his face was slightly blushing, and after a while, he raised his head and said softly: "Husband, we are husband and wife, this is what I should do." ”

Dong Ce smiled and didn't speak again, he took out a bag from his arms and gently placed it on the table to untie it, revealing the contents inside.

This green cloth burden looks very simple, but when you untie this burden, there is a layer inside, a layer of fine silk, and in this satin is actually a few pieces of jewelry. There are jade bracelets, jade hairpins, necklaces, beads and so on.

Among them, the most precious and the most beautiful is the necklace. In Dong Ce's view, it is not like a necklace worn by ordinary women, but like a long string of Buddhist beads hanging around the neck of the monk's neck, or by analogy, it is no different from the pearls that were often hung around the necks of Qing Dynasty ministers in later generations.

There were one hundred and eight necklaces, each round and the size of a little finger, emitting a soft white glow that was flawless. And the most rare thing is that all the beads are almost the same size and condition, and they look the same. A single bead like this is considered valuable, but it is not a particularly rare thing. But a hundred and eight of these beads appear together, which can be regarded as a rarity.

After all, sometimes there are more of them, and the nature of this thing is different.

In addition to this necklace, the other jade hairpins and jade bracelets can also be regarded as in good condition. In particular, the pair of kodama bracelets are made of fine mutton fat white jade, which seems to be worth a lot.

Dong Ce smiled at Qiao's family: "The child went out for this trip, but it was not for nothing, he always sent some profits, and he also collected some good things, and specially picked out a few of them and dedicated them to his mother." ”

Qiao Shi glanced at it, and then looked at Dong Ce: "This is all for me?" ”

Dong Ce smiled: "Of course." ”

Qiao Shi glanced at him: "You are my son, and this is a piece of filial piety to me, so I won't be polite to you." ”

Dong Ce smiled: "You're welcome. ”
