Xu Sizhen, who pressed his ear tightly against the study window lattice, felt his face was wet.

He straightened up and prepared to wipe his eyes with his sleeves with some embarrassment. A handkerchief embroidered with white orchid flowers was handed to him: "Fourth Young Master, your eyes are sandy, so you'd better wipe them with the handkerchief."

Bright and concise, it is the voice of Amber.

No wonder her mother has always reserved her position as a responsible mother in the house.

Xu Sizhen straightened his back, hummed casually, took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of his eyes, and returned the handkerchief to her again: "Let's go out." Then he walked out of the study with his head held high.

How good is this

The family is happy

Amber looked at Xu Sizhen's back and smiled slightly, picked up the green porcelain flower basin in his hand and followed him.

Eleven Niang was standing under the eaves holding Xu Sijie's shoulders.

The remaining light from the west seemed to be coated with a layer of gold foil on their bodies, giving them a quiet beauty.

Xu Sizhen couldn't help but slow down.

A red figure blew in like the wind: Mother, mother, mother, I'm back. Brother Jin shouted and rushed into Eleven Niang's arms.

Huang Xiaomáo Wang Erhu Chang'an followed the ghost and came with a crash, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard.

Eleven Niang let go of Xu Sijie, lowered her head and looked at her sweating son with a smile: Baiyun Temple is fun, isn’t it?

Fun, fun, Brother Jin said, reaching behind him, Huang Xiaomao immediately handed the bundle to Brother Jin. Brother Jin squatted down and opened the bundle on the ground. This is a boxwood comb. Give it to your mother.

This is the sweet white porcelain penholder, which is for the fourth brother; this yellow harp is for the fifth brother, this Taoist scripture is for the second brother, and this silver appraisal bracelet is for the second sister-in-law.

This big red peony flower is for my grandmother; the yulan flower is for my second aunt. There are a lot of bits and pieces in the baggage. The tea is for my father, the paperweight is for my fifth uncle, and the incense burner is for my fifth aunt.

Yes, the wooden knife is for the seventh brother, the plectrum is for the eighth brother, and the rouge box is for the second sister. I brought gifts to everyone in the family.

Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie took the gift and thanked Brother Jin one after another, especially Xu Sijie, who even smiled and touched Brother Jin's head.

No thanks, no thanks. Brother Jin smiled and pulled out a paper box, opened it, took out a pomegranate velvet flower from a box full and handed it to Amber: This is for you.

Amber looked surprised: Me, I have it too

That's right. Brother Jin said, stuffing the paper box into Hu Hu's arms. Let Song's mother Qiu Yu and the others take and share the rest. He glanced at Biluo standing aside from the corner of his eye, and said, "Biluo, you guys also have a share."

Anyway, he bought a lot.

Ouch, Biluo was busy bending his knees to salute.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became lively.

Brother Jin pulled Eleven Niang and talked about the scene of going to Baiyun Temple: Senior brother said that when saluting, you should hold the thumb of your left hand with your right hand and clasp your fist to offer incense. You should salute from back to front. When entering the door, you cannot take the middle door and enter from both sides.

Eleven Niang listened carefully to Brother Jin's excited chatter. From time to time, he should say something, right? Really, the more Brother Jin talked, the happier he became. She even told him that he lost ten cents while watching the sideshow.

Eleven mothers.

Xu Sizhen saw Brother Jin talking incessantly, and everyone was crowding at the door like this, making people think something had happened. He finally found a chance to interrupt Brother Jin: Are you hungry or not?

The kitchen made fried fish.

Sixth brother, why don't you freshen up and have dinner later. Then we can go to grandma to ask you. You can also give the things you bought to everyone. What do you think?

Okay. Brother Jin smiled and grabbed Eleven Niang's hand and walked out. "Mom, give me a bath and look like you are going back."

How can this be done?

Seeing how it was time for dinner, how could my mother and sixth brother go back with empty stomachs?

Xu Sizhen hurriedly stopped brother Jin and said to Eleven Niang: Mother, let the sixth brother wash up at my place. I asked Biluo to pour water for the sixth brother and Lvxue to get clothes for the sixth brother.

Xu Sizhen had already ordered the kitchen to prepare meals before, and even specially made bat fish. Eleven Niang was not ready to leave either.

Okay, Eleven Niang said with a smile, then we will borrow your clean room for use.

Xu Sizhen breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Biluo and Luxue with a smile.

Brother Jin gently pulled his mother's sleeve and whispered in her ear: Mom, let's go back.

What's wrong? Eleven Niang asked him softly.

He hesitated for a while, then whispered: Mom, I, I don’t want to eat fried fish. I want to eat red buns in the snow.

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Brother Jin has already said: I saw there were steamed buns for sale outside Baiyun Temple. He gestured with such a big one with his hand, and there was a small red dot on the steamed bun. He said it was made of red five huārou in the snow. But Mr. Zhao

He said, "I can't eat food from outside." He raised his head and looked at Eleven Niang, "Mom, I want to eat snow red buns so much that my mouth will water."

Children are very curious and always feel that food outside is better than food at home.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh and asked Brother Jin: Is it still too late to make Xuelihongwuhuārou buns?

What's so difficult about this? Although brother Jin's voice was low, everyone listened carefully to what mother and son were saying, so they naturally heard everything clearly. Xu Sizhen smiled and said, go take a shower quickly. When you freshen up, it will be hot.

The red buns in the snow were served.

Brother Jin happily followed Eleven Niang to the clean room.

Xu Sijie took Xu Sichen to study with the fourth brother of Tang Dynasty. He seemed a little excited. His mother said that she was also worried that I would not recognize her when I grew up. She also said that I was her son and she would never let me go no matter what.

for others

Xu Sizhen pretended to be displeased and lightly punched him on the shoulder: I just said, don't worry. Mother said so, you can't be impatient in the future.

Xu Sijie nodded solemnly: I will definitely be filial to my mother in the future and study hard. Like my second brother, I will be a scholar and won the imperial examination. I will never go to opera again and embarrass my mother.

He said he wanted to settle the matter.

Amber and Biluo collected the things that Brother Jin had thrown on the ground.

Biluo couldn't help but touch the pomegranate velvet flower on her hand: The Sixth Young Master is becoming more and more like the Fourth Lady. The Fourth Lady is also very generous to others.

You don’t have to say it

Amber smiled and did not answer her question: How many of you should choose a few flowers to wear first?

Biluo counted a few and took them into the house. The kitchen brought steamed buns over.

Brother Jin and Eleven Niang haven't come out yet.

Xu Sizhen looked at the bun and it was as big as brother Jin said, but he didn't put the red dot on it and said: Do you have any red yeast rice at home?

The woman serving the buns smiled and said: The fourth young master said it was a blessing. I'll go and get it right away. After saying that, she turned around and brought a small plate of red yeast rice, and dipped it in with a mao pen.

As a result, the plain white buns have a few colors, making them look much better.

Xu Sizhen looked amused and said with a smile: I'll do it

The mother-in-law hurriedly handed the pen to Xu Sizhen.

Xu Sizhen clicked a few and handed the pen to Xu Maojie: You can try it too

Xu Sijie imitated and clicked a few points, and said with a smile: Let alone the sixth brother, even I looked at it and started to slander him. Before he finished speaking, there was a sound at the door, and then a stern voice sounded in their ears.

:What are you doing?

The two of them raised their heads in astonishment, followed the sound, and saw Xu Lingyi standing at the door with a slight frown on his face, looking solemn.

Fathers Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Xu Lingyi glanced at the mahogany pen that Xu Sijie had dropped from the corner of his eye, and said in a deep voice: You are so old, why are you still acting like a child? Using the mahogany pen to express happiness, you are quite unhappy, thank you for your imagination.

The fifth brother just found out about his life experience and his father scolded him like this. Will he feel aggrieved by this?

Xu Sizhen was a little worried. He hurriedly explained: I was looking at the buns being sold outside with my hands nodding "hi" without saying a word, and I felt my sleeve being pulled.

He couldn't help but glance over from the corner of his eyes and saw Xu Sijie's hand.

"Father, I didn't say it loudly to Xu Sijie, and I will never do it again in the future."

His voice was clear and clear, but there was a little bit of displeasure in it.

Xu Lingyi’s expression was slightly misty: What’s your mother’s name?

Why did he come to Xu Sizhen’s house to eat for no reason?

Xu Sichen said hurriedly while bathing his sixth brother.

Xu Lingyi slightly chinned his head and went to the clean room.

The fifth brother Xu Sichen hurriedly said that his father has always been like this

Xu Sijie shook his head gently at him, indicating that he didn't need to say more: "My father regards me as his own son, that's why he scolded me like this, and why he disciplined me." A soft smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Fourth Brother, what do you say?"

That's right. I worry too much about myself. He said loudly, I will never be like this again.

For the first time, he spoke so confidently.

For the first time, he felt so at ease.

Xu Sichen didn't understand, but it was a good thing that Xu Sijie could let go of this matter.

He smiled and patted Xu Sijie on the shoulder: That's good

Xu Sijie smiled and nodded at Xu Sizhen.
