When Qin and Xiaocao entered the private room, they saw that the concubine was still crying, and they were so distressed that they couldn't do it. The Qin family knew how difficult it was for the brother and sister to see each other again, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Xiaocao stepped forward and persuaded, "It's a happy event for the concubine and Uncle Hua to meet, don't cry, you won't be able to wear the mask on your face if you cry again." ”

Hua Shu smiled with tears, "Okay, don't cry." I haven't seen my eldest brother for many years, and today I suddenly saw it, and I cried with joy. ”

Xiaocao immediately said, "Concubine, Uncle Hua looks so young, he doesn't look much older than my brother-in-law." ”

Xiaocao's words are that Uncle Kuahua is young and good, but isn't she saying that her brother-in-law is too old? The difference in age between these two is more than half. The Qin family couldn't care less about crying, and hurriedly said, "Concubine, Xiaocao means that Huada people look young on their faces, Yan Sheng is sensible early, and he is old and old. ”

Xiaocao nodded, "Yes! ”

After saying this, he couldn't hear the echo of rhubarb, and Xiaocao felt that he was not used to it.

Hua Shu smiled, "When my eldest brother was young, he was often said to be a young man. ”

"Nephew and uncle, this can't be faked anywhere." Qin followed the concubine's words, "By the time Yan Sheng is forty or fifty, he will definitely be as young as Huada." ”

Hua Shu took the tea handed by Hua Yu and moistened her throat, and said with a smile, "My eldest brother is not an outsider, if An Ren doesn't dislike her, call her 'big brother' like me." ”

Of course I don't dislike it! Qin's concern was another thing, she twisted her belt embarrassedly, "It's my high climb to call Huada the eldest brother, but I call him eldest brother, and the concubine also calls me Anren, isn't it quite outward......"

Hua Shu smiled, "How about we be like the folk in-laws in the future, how about being called sisters?" ”

"Good, good!" Qin was overjoyed.

"Sister." Hua Shu responded.

Hearing the concubine call her like this, the Qin family was going to be happy, "Sister! ”

Xiaocao squeezed over jealously, "Then what should I do, what will I call the concubine in the future?" ”

Hua Shu asked the Qin family, "According to the folk rules, Xiaocao should call me aunt, right?" ”

Emperor Jianlong is older than Chen Zumo, so it should be called that, Qin nodded, "Sister, you're right." ”

Xiaocao didn't like this title, "That Xiaocao will still be called Taifei in the future, because there is only one concubine, but Xiaocao has many aunts." ”

Chen Tao'er and Da Zhuang's mother, Xiaocao have to call aunt, so they also call the concubine aunt, Xiaocao feels that she immediately put the fairy-like person of the concubine together with Chen Tao'er and his mother, which feels very bad.

"It's all good." Hua Shu was extremely happy, and talked to the Qin family about what the eldest brother liked to eat and use, and the two of them talked and talked, and decided to go shopping on the street again to buy items for the eldest brother of the Hua family.

The three of them waited for a long time and didn't see Hua Yuanhuai come back from Emperor Xining's side, so they returned to the table by the railing and continued to watch the tea fight in the hall downstairs.

After today's tea bucket was over, Zhao Shuyan and Liang Chunsheng also came up to say goodbye to them and left, and Emperor Xining had not let Hua Yuhuai come back.

The Qin family was worried that something would happen over there, but Hua Shu was not in a hurry, took them back to the room, and discussed, "Later, the Holy Lord will come to greet me, and my sister will take Xiaocao back to the house first." ”

Emperor Xining didn't know that she was here, but since he knew that he had stayed until now and didn't leave, he wanted to see her.

The Qin clan didn't want to part with the concubine, "Since it's almost over, let's just wait and leave together, right?" ”

Hua Shu lowered her voice and said to the Qin family, "Xiaocao is not married yet, so it is not suitable to face the saint." ”

Now it is a national funeral, three years later, Emperor Xining's funeral period will expire, it is time to choose a concubine, when Xiaocao will be thirteen years old, say that it is not big or small, if Xiaocao has frequently faced the saint in the past three years, I am afraid that gossip will soon spread.

The Qin clan immediately understood, "Then I'll take Xiaocao first, and my sister will go back to the house with my eldest brother later, and we'll talk about the purchase tomorrow." ”

As soon as the Qin family left with Xiaocao, the guys in the teahouse asked all the guests to leave in the name of cleaning.

After there were no outsiders in the building, Emperor Xining came out of the room and was accompanied by Hua Yuanhuai to see the concubine.

When he entered the room and saluted, the concubine had already shown her true face. Yuyan with a plain Taoist robe, even more immortal wind bones, Emperor Xining couldn't help but sigh that the appearance of the Hua family is really blessed, "Erchen received a battle report from the third brother this morning, he has led his troops to fight with the Huns, and will return triumphantly in the near future, please return to the mother concubine Don't worry." ”

Hua Shu bowed, "Yan Sheng's ability to fight for the country is his glory." I have a matter that I would like to ask for the Holy Lord's permission. ”

Emperor Xining knew what the noble concubine was going to say, so he smiled and said, "Fang Caiqing has already mentioned to his sons that you intend to go back to your hometown to sweep the tomb for your parents. But you are out of Beijing alone, and Erchen is really not at ease. Why don't you wait a few days, when the third brother returns triumphantly, and let him accompany you? ”

If her son can return to his hometown with her after his victory, it will naturally be excellent, Hua Shu immediately responded, Emperor Xining was happy, but Hua Yuanhuai smiled a little helplessly.

After Emperor Xining left, Hua Shucai asked the eldest brother, "Why is the eldest brother smiling bitterly?" ”

Hua Yuanhuai sighed, "The Holy Lord intended to let me stay in the capital as an official, and if he kept you, he kept me." ”

Hua Shu skillfully put on the mask before he smiled, "Big brother doesn't want to?" ”

Hua Yuanhuai shook his head, "First, I don't have the heart of a career, and second, I don't want to enter the court and cause trouble for Yan Sheng." Now that you're back, I just want to spend the rest of my life with you, your sister-in-law and your children. ”

The eldest brother has been idle since he was a child, and if it weren't for the great changes in his family, he would not have entered the office. Hua Shu nodded, "Since that's the case, the eldest brother won't be an official anymore." ”

"But long live there......"

"Big brother is unwilling, and the saint can't force you. The eldest brother doesn't have to worry about the saint being angry with Yan Sheng because of this, Yan Sheng is very capable. Hua Shu didn't take this seriously at all, "Let's go home." ”

Hua Yuanhuai was not familiar with the people and things in Beijing, and when he saw his sister like this, he no longer took this matter to heart. As she said, her nephew is very capable now, and his own little thing is not a matter in front of him.

With such a competitive nephew, Hua Yuanhuai's smile became more and more open.

Li Xiran, who was in the carriage outside the teahouse, felt even more dazzling when he saw Hua Yuanhuai's smile.

After returning to Lijiazhuang, Li Xiran took off the deep clothes on his body and stood in front of the bronze mirror for a long time.

Li Runsheng came in and saw his father in a daze, so he asked what happened.

Li Xiran sighed with emotion, "In "The Emperor's Inner Diameter", it is said that the man's six or eight yang qi is exhausted, his face is burnt, and his temples are white. My father has passed six or eight this year, and his temples are snowy, and he is really old. ”

The father, who calls himself an "old man" every day, actually laments that he is old? Li Runsheng had no choice but to answer, "My father is middle-aged, like the sun, and he is still far from old age." I don't know what happened today that made you feel such feelings? ”

What's the matter?

Li Si, who walked to the door, lowered his head and smiled sullenly, because his master was compared to others, "Master, the shopkeeper of the cotton mill is here, saying that his owner asked you to send you a few deep clothes." ”

Seeing his father's pale face, Li Runsheng understood. My father's abnormality today is related to the owner of the cotton mill who gave the clothes.
