The boy is hard to handle

New Year's Eve, family reunion.

It stands to reason that it should be the busiest time, but Xue Yanrong didn't feel anything. After having dinner in Shun'an Hall, the whole family went to the flower hall. Watching the continuous sound of fireworks and firecrackers in the courtyard, she still felt deserted in her heart. It seemed that this excitement alone excluded her.

Zheng Junqing naturally noticed Xue Yanrong's strangeness, so he used his poor health as an excuse to ask Xue Yanrong to accompany him back to Qingyin Pavilion.

Lu family has people from the second room by his side, so of course he won't keep them too much, but it's just that he should pretend on the surface——

"Looking at your pale complexion, I think you must be suffering from anemia. I happen to have some ginseng nourishing pills at my place. I'll ask Mother Qin to bring them to you tomorrow."

"Daughter-in-law, this is an old problem. Mother doesn't have to worry." Zheng Junqing covered the silk handkerchief in his hand to his mouth and coughed twice.

"Don't push me away, get better soon before Brother Rong leaves, and don't let him feel at home when he's away from home."

Then he waved his hand again, "Forget it, don't wait for tomorrow—let Qin's mother deliver it to you now."

Zheng Jun paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Xue Yanrong, and seeing that her expression was normal, she nodded towards Lu Shi again——

"Then thank you mother."

As soon as Xue Yanrong helped Zheng Junqing to leave, Xue Huaiqiu picked up the wine bottle in his hand, lowered his head and took a sip, then raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Lu, and said meaningfully——

"Sister-in-law is getting worse and worse."

Lu Shi raised his eyebrows, didn't say much, just moved the corners of his mouth, and said——

"In the future, you just need to share more burdens for her."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Huaiqiu and Ye Shanrong immediately looked at each other, and they must have understood what Lu meant——

Once Xue Yanrong left this year, Zheng Junqing was so ill, not to mention taking care of the property, but he was afraid that he would not even be able to leave the house, and it would not be his own house that had the final say.

Thinking of the white silver beckoning to him, Ye Shanrong's eyes only brightened, and he immediately patted Xue Yanchao who was sitting beside him, and said courteously——

"Hurry up, Yan Chao! Give grandma a toast."

Xue Yanchao immediately kowtowed and toasted, his mouth full of auspicious words, which made Lu Shi laugh from ear to ear. The whole family was happy, as if Xue Yanrong and Zheng Junqing just now were two outsiders who shouldn't be here.

"Listen to the laughter, it's much louder than when we were here just now. Speaking of the ginseng nourishing blood pills, your sister sent someone from the palace. It's all right now, but it's a charity from her."

Zheng Junqing sighed, "You grandma, your mind is too crooked."

"Mother cares?"

Xue Yanrong helped Zheng Junqing to walk forward, lanterns were hung along the way, and there were night-watching mothers guarding them, and Ning Dong also held up lanterns to illuminate the road, no matter how dark it was, it was still bright.

"What do I care about? She was like this when your father was still around. Even though you are already 25, I'm used to it."

Zheng Junqing shook his head, "It's a good thing you competed with your sister, one was a concubine in the palace and earned enough fame, and the other was earning money outside and kept the money bag, otherwise our house boss might be messed up in some way." Pinch it."

"Mother, why bother worrying about these irrelevant people? When I was outside the customs, they couldn't get along with them. Now that I'm back, let alone think about it. It's just a meal. Whoever grandma wants to make out with, let me let it go." Why should we bother with her being intimate, but I still think that what my grandmother said is true—"

Zheng Junqing stopped——

"Which sentence?"

Seeing Zheng Junqing's serious appearance, Xue Yanrong smiled——

"You must take good care of yourself. Since they want to act and pretend, we can't do without. After all, clowns have to have a spectator."

"Co-author, do you take all of this as a joke?" Zheng Junqing asked in surprise.

"Isn't it? When I come back every year, such a meal can't be regarded as a joke."

"Looking at the jokes is the jokes, but you must not just look at the jokes." Zheng Junqing said meaningfully: "None of the people in these jokes is a fuel-efficient lamp."

"Mother, don't worry, they all have to listen to me how to play this joke."

Zheng Junqing looked at Xue Yanrong with a clear look——

"What are you going to do?"

Xue Yanrong pursed her lips——

"It's not in a hurry, I want to wait until the Chinese New Year is over."

"Alright." Zheng Junqing nodded, "It should be cleaner in the first month, otherwise there will be chaos throughout the year."

After seeing off Zheng Junqing and returning to Qingyin Pavilion, Xue Yanrong also returned to Qizitang.

After taking a bath, she loosened her hair, and Xue Yanrong didn't feel sleepy, so she looked for the notebook, and couldn't read it after turning a few pages, and then threw it aside——

Rubbing his fingers on his eyelids——

"I don't think tonight is a good time to read, at the beginning of the tenth day—bring me a jug of wine!"

Xue Yanrong has been in business for many years, and he is very familiar with wine. Rao is a businessman, and he doesn't know if the deal is settled, so he has to drink a lot of wine first. And it worked out.

"Why did Hao Duan Duan suddenly drink wine?" Yao Shichu lifted the curtain and looked in, "Didn't drink enough in the flower hall just now?"

"When did I drink in the flower hall? Besides, I drank with them. It was just a toast to my grandmother before the meal. I didn't touch any more."

Xue Yanrong courteously said: "You go and get it quickly, I can eat something so I can sleep."

Although Yao Shichu was a bit reluctant, but tonight is New Year's Eve, so just drink what you want.

After a while, the warm wine cup was brought——

Xue Yanrong leaned over his nose, fanned it with his hand and smelled——

"Yellow wine, rice wine is good, rice wine warms up."

He shook his head as he spoke, and then asked——

"Have you cooked it with shredded ginger?"

"Added it." Yao Shichu took another plate of peeled peanuts and put them on the low table. It’s probably still a little hot to drink—hey”

Before he finished speaking, Xue Yanrong ate a cup first. It was hot and spicy at this time. He took two breaths, picked up a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth, only then did he feel relieved.

"You can't slow down—"

Seeing his master's greedy appearance, Yao Shichu said with some concern——

"How much are you going to drink? I said in advance that it's ready, so I just boiled this cup, and there will be no more."

Chewing the peanuts in his mouth, Xue Yanrong raised his head triumphantly, and said, "Look, I'm so nervous, I haven't drunk any kind of wine outside the customs, how can I get drunk? Besides, rice wine is for warming up the body, it is tonic wine, I am not drinking, I am drinking medicine."

"Here, you can coax yourself." Yao Shichu walked behind Xue Yanrong with a towel and wiped her wet hair. Didn’t you just drink rice wine? What did you vomit when you came back? You rested on the bed for almost three days, and Xu Yuhun and I were so scared that we almost disappeared.”

"Hiss—what's the matter?"

"Are you pretending to be confused again?!"

Xue Yanrong quickly patted his head——

"Yes, yes, there is such a thing. Then he is not a Mongolian. He grew up on the grassland since he was a child. He has a bold temperament and a big belly. Besides, he helped me drive away the horse thief and found him. If you don’t ask me for money, it’s okay to drink some wine with him, I didn’t measure it myself, no wonder others.”

"It's true to say that, but you should take it easy. He comes to you every now and then. He's a woman except for drinking, and he has nothing else in his mouth. To tell you the truth, every time I see him coming, I really feel really sad." are all afraid."

"When did you become so timid?" Xue Yanrong raised his eyebrows, shrugged and said with a smile: "He is a bit rough, but he is warm-hearted, and you don't need to use your brain too much whether you talk or do things with him. "

"I didn't say that others are bad, I just dislike—" Yao Shichu hesitated to speak, and lowered his voice, "He always takes you to that kind of place, and every time I stop him, he will say something about meat and vegetables I, I really can't say enough about him!"

"Hey, it's not just talking to you, but more to me. Just go in your left ear and come out in your right ear. Don't take it seriously. Besides, we won't go back outside the customs in the future. You just want to hear it, but you can't hear it. It's-"

"Who wants to hear it?! I wish I could stay away from him."

Xue Yanrong shook his head——

"At the beginning of the tenth year, you think he is vulgar now. After we stay in Beijing for a while, maybe you will miss that vulgarity."

Yao Shichu paused, looked down at Xue Yanrong and closed his eyes slightly, then said softly——

"Second Master, take a rest when you're sleepy."

Xue Yanrong nodded in a daze, and as soon as he got off the soft couch, he turned his head away——

"Then don't keep the New Year's Eve today?"

"Don't watch it, the firecrackers are set off outside the house, the red paper is posted, and the red clothes are also worn. The Nian beast dare not come, so you can rest easy!"

"At the beginning of the tenth year, you are really getting better at joking."

After saying that, Xue Yanrong collapsed on the newly made bed. I don't know if it was because of the rice wine, but after Yao Shichu tucked the quilt for her, she also fell asleep.

When it was three o'clock, Zheng Junqing came——

"Ma'am—" Yao Shichu was taken aback, and quickly got up to bow.

"Where's Yan Rong?" Zheng Junqing asked.

"Second Master just had some warm rice wine, and now he is fast asleep." Yao Shichu was a little embarrassed, wondering if he should wake Xue Yanrong up.

"Then let her sleep, don't call her."

Zheng Junqing walked into the back room and took out a string of coins with round square holes woven with colored threads. The front side was printed with the words "to remove disasters and eliminate harm to the world's peace" and the back side was the auspicious pattern of Pisces, which was gently placed at the foot of the bed.

Finally, he touched Xue Yanrong's face, and when he was about to leave, he saw the close-fitting corset on the footstool, and his eyes couldn't help becoming terrified again.

Yao Shichu, who was watching at the side, saw this scene and felt a thump in his heart. Why did he forget to take Xue Yanrong off when he was taking a bath just now? will come.

However, fortunately, Zheng Junqing didn't lose his mind for too long, put away the sadness in his eyes, and was about to take another step.

Seeing this, Yao Shichu was about to go out to send him off, but was stopped by Zheng Junqing——

"Ningdong is waiting outside, so you don't have to send it off, so I can take care of Brother Rong."

"Yes, Ma'am, don't worry."

After Zheng Junqing left, Yao Shichu hurried back to the back room to put away the tunic, and sighed——

His second master, what a nice man.

Yao Shichu firmly believes that good people will be rewarded with good things.

Xue Yanrong slept until dawn and didn't even have a dream all night. When he woke up, it was already high in the sun outside.

After Yao Shichu took care of her to freshen up, he took a newly made gown for her to wear——

"What is this?" Xue Yanrong saw a coin threaded with colored threads at the foot of the bed, "New Year's money? My mother is here?"

"Madam came after the third watch last night. When she saw that you were asleep, she didn't let you call. She just put this down and left." Yao Shichu said.

Xue Yanrong waved the coin in front of his eyes——

"Mother still treats me as a child."

"Look at what Second Master said, no matter how old you are, you are still a child in Madam's eyes." Yao Shichu straightened the front of her clothes, stepped back, and said with a smile, "Second Master wears this It's so pretty."

Xue Yanrong glanced at his glasses——

"Hiss—why is it a big red?"

"What's wrong with the big red? It's so festive. It's been a long time since you wore bright colors. The ones you wear all day are either black, gray or dark blue. You're so old-fashioned. You'll wear this outfit today if you listen to me." It's time!"

Seeing Yao Shichu's domineering appearance, Xue Yanrong raised his eyebrows——

"Why do I feel that you also treat me like a child?"

"Slaves don't dare—" Yao Shichu walked towards the outer room with a smile, then turned around and said, "It's almost noon, so I don't want to eat breakfast, I'll bring you a kidney bean roll to cushion your stomach."

"Hey! Is there a focal circle?"

"It's already this hour, how can there be any focal circles? The stalls have been closed earlier, please come early tomorrow."

After a while, the kidney bean rolls were brought——

Xue Yanrong was about to put it in his mouth, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Yu was held by a big and tall black beard, looking so petite for the first time——

"Second, Second Master——" Xu Yu wrinkled his face, smiling uglier than crying, "Master Wendu is here."

As soon as he saw Xue Yanrong, Wen Du immediately let go of Xu Yu, stepped towards Xue Yanrong with big strides, arched his fists, and performed a Chinese etiquette——

"Brother! Brother, I'm here to wish you New Year greetings!"

As he said that, he clapped his hands and asked the people outside to carry things into the house——

Xue Yanrong stretched his head and saw that it was a whole slaughtered bull. It looked like he could weigh a hundred catties, and it was hard for him to be carried by six young men. Standing in the room, the smell of blood was overwhelming. up the nose—

"Hey - let's put it in the courtyard, I'm afraid it won't fit in the small room." Xue Yanrong said hastily.

"Hmm! You're right! Then put it in the yard!"

Wen Du waved again to the servants outside.

"Outside the pass is different from the capital. As soon as I got here, I changed out the sheepskin jacket."

As Wen Du said, he picked up a piece of kidney bean roll and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. Maybe he ate too much, and he seemed to be a little choked. Have a cup of hot tea."

"You're welcome, I'm going to build a tall pot right now."

As soon as Yao Shichu left on the front foot, Wen Du swallowed everything in his mouth on the back foot, and he didn't look like he was choking.

As soon as he grabbed Xue Yanrong's arm, he pulled him out——

"Hey--"

"Walk, walk—"

"It's noon soon, where are you going? I'll ask the cook to cook a pot of stewed mutton. Let's have a drink."

"Why don't you eat stewed mutton when you're in the capital? Let's go to a better place to talk."

Xue Yanrong couldn't resist him, so he had to greet Xu Yu and ask him to tell Shi Chu that he wouldn't come back for lunch at noon.

When Yao Shichu finished making tea, Xu Yu was the only one left.

"What about people?"

"Which one do you say?"

"Second Master and that Wendu?"

Xu Yu pursed his lips and pointed out the room——

"Let's go, the second master asked me to tell you that I won't come back for lunch at noon."

Yao Shichu looked at the hot tea in his hand, and immediately frowned——

"This Wendu! You really are an unspeakable Cao Cao!"

The author says:

Don't worry, everyone, Mr. Xue will clean up one by one.
