The father and son talked for a long time and did not leave the study until dinner time.
After walking a few steps, I saw Xu Pingqi standing at the corner of the corridor.
The young man was dressed in green clothes, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky quietly, and he stood here for an unknown amount of time.
When he noticed someone coming, he turned his eyes back and said: "Father, eldest brother."
Xu Gucheng nodded, and Xu Pingyi hurried forward. His expression changed from cautious and respectful to a big smile in an instant. He patted Xu Pingqi on the shoulder: "Erlang has grown a lot, so this thing should be more suitable for you."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of yellow jade from his sleeve.
Xu Pingqi took it and saw that the main body of this piece of yellow jade was yellow, and the edge color became lighter, and one part was completely white. Like white soaked in yellow, or like yellow dyed through white, the yellow and white parts are very elegant and lively.
Although it is not full of yellow, the white here adds a bit of charm.
One side of the jade plate is engraved with the word "kai", and the other side is engraved with several lines. The lines are very simple, with some depth and some lightness. They seem to be drawn randomly, but at a glance, you can tell that there is a statue of Guanyin in the lines.
It was the first time that Xu Pingyi tried this kind of carving method, and it took a lot of effort to express it with the simplest lines.
"Thank you, brother." Xu Pingqi accepted it and held it gently in his hand, with a smile on his lips.
I like it very much.
He didn't say this.
At night, the house is filled with candle lights, making it bright and warm. The aroma from the incense burner floated out quietly, lingering on the roof.
Mrs. Lu spread out the food and cloth, her face full of joy.
Today was the happiest day for her in the past six months, even more joyful than the day she learned that her eldest son was going to take the imperial examination.
Xu Nuo sat in front of the dining table and watched the exquisite dishes being served, including her favorite loofah soup and her brother's favorite fish soup...
In addition to the five members of the Xu family, there were also Nanny Li, Qiyue, Suye...
"Today, our family has finally gathered together. My father hopes that Da Lang can do more useful things, Er Lang can further his studies, and Liu Niang can do more things that she likes."
Xu Gucheng raised Tusu wine and expressed his expectations.
"A son must live up to his father's expectations."
"I will study hard."
"Thank you, daddy."
Raise the Tusu wine and clink glasses from a distance.
After drinking Tusu wine, we started to eat other dishes.
On New Year's Eve, every family in Bianjing prays devoutly to express gratitude for the past and welcome the new year.
…
At night, Xu Gucheng and Lu went to rest, while the three brothers and sisters stayed in the house to watch the New Year.
"Brother, Erlang, let's set off fireworks." Xu Nuo had prepared the fireworks early and had been looking forward to this moment.
"It's too noisy, why not have some tea." Xu Pingqi frowned and said when he saw a large box of fireworks pulled over by Qi Qi.
In the past few years, when fireworks were set off on New Year's Eve, the two of them would set them off for a while, and then they would force him to finish the fireworks that were not finished.
There will be another release this year, and there will be more than in previous years.
Xu Pingyi's eyes lit up when he saw the fireworks, and he was eager to try. He had already reached the box and started selecting fireworks, without the composure he had when he was an official.
He looked at the people sitting on the couch and said: "Every household is playing music outside. It's not quiet anymore. Besides, we should be drinking Tusu wine tonight, so how can we use tea!"
"Yes, you are so young, how can you be afraid of the excitement? Get up!"
No matter how much they tried to persuade him, Xu Pingqi refused to join. Finally, he asked the housekeeper to get the materials to make a lantern, blocking their advice on the grounds that he was busy making lanterns.
His hands are not as nimble as his big brother, but he can still make a lantern.
In the middle of the night, there were still half a box of fireworks. Xu Pingyi and Xu Nuo were sitting on the couch unable to get up, saying: "These fireworks must be set off tonight, so that my wish can come true..."
Seeing that the two were following the same routine as in previous years, Xu Pingqi stood up and called the servants to move the fireworks into the courtyard.
Fireworks scattered in the air, one after another.
The deeper the night, the brighter the fireworks.
Delicious food and wine, loved ones by the side, fireworks and bright lights in the sky.
Xu Nuo felt very warm in her heart, she was really happy.
Two days later, the sky was covered with a thick layer of gray clouds, and it seemed like snow was about to fall.
In Qian's Mansion, Lu Erniang entered Concubine Sun's room with a smile. She didn't even have time to take off her cloak and said, "Concubine, my brother-in-law, Shilang Xu, and my sister are here to see you."
The concubine was lying on her side on the couch, and two maids were beating her legs and rubbing her shoulders. Seeing the twenty-one mother coming, she waved the maids back and straightened her gray hair, "Your sister has brought a few of her A child?".
"Of course I brought it with me, otherwise it would be boring for just the two of them to come to wish you a happy new year." Lu Erniang was wearing a hibiscus-colored large sleeves. She was dressed very plainly today, but her eyebrows were still warm and public, and her plain-colored Even her clothes couldn't stop her beauty.
"Okay, you go and take them to the Little Flower Hall."
Lu Erniang responded and walked out, and then a maid also walked out quickly.
Concubine Sun's courtyard is the most comfortable part of the Qian Mansion. You can see a lake when you walk out, and it is very close to the Little Flower Hall.
When Mrs. Sun was helped to walk slowly to the small flower hall, Xu Gucheng and his party also arrived.
The housekeeper first gave Lu Erniang the gift booklet brought by the Xu family. Lu Erniang read it and handed it to Mrs. Sun. Concubine Sun did not put it down as usual, but flipped through the pages.
"Given the relationship between our two families, there is no need for such a generous gift." Concubine Sun put down the gift book and said with a smile.
Although he is old, his voice is still full of energy.
Her eyes swept over several people.
Xu Gucheng was wearing a dark green brocade suit, his posture was as tall as a pine tree, and his aura was calm and calm. With such a demeanor, no wonder the children in charge of the family admire him quite a lot.
Then her eyes fell on Xu Pingyi. She had never seen this child before, but she had heard about it. His appearance was as pleasing as the rumors. With clear eyes, he must be a sincere child.
Finally, my eyes fell on Xu Pingqi. Although he was young, he was more calm than his brother.
Then he called several people forward and gave each of the Xu Pingyi brothers an inkstone, and Xu Nuo a huge pearl.
Everyone sat down and talked about things in Bianjing City, and then about Suzhou and Hangzhou. With Lu Erniang here, she would not be left alone.
Xu Nuo looked towards the concubine. To the left of the concubine was Lu Erniang, and to the right stood a young lady dressed in white. This young lady was in her early ten years, with a fair and translucent face and extremely black hair. With the support of her hair, her skin looks as fair as a freshly peeled lychee.
His eyes are cute, but he can't hide his cuteness.
I think he is the junior that Mrs. Sun loves very much.
Lu Erniang introduced the young lady to Xu Gucheng: "This is my eldest brother's young daughter An'er. My eldest brother and sister-in-law took her with them when they came to see the concubine. The concubine liked her but was afraid of the severe cold on the road in winter, so she didn't Let her go back."
