Fu Yunge didn't want to be bored, so he casually chatted with him about the management of the Dongfang family's servants. This is Hu Qian's specialty, so we chatted endlessly. It didn't take long for them to reach Shi Yitang.
The front of the hall was neat and quiet. Under the steps, although there were no extra people waiting to guard, there was a vague aura of caution floating in the air, which made everyone present feel a sense of security.
Fu Yunge knew that these few but capable guards were not ordinary people.
His eyes did not linger too much on those people. Just listen to Hu Gan taking off his hat filled with snow and patting it, and then a person slowly walked out of the hall.
If you want to say who is the real manager of the Dongfang family now, then the person slowly walking down the stairs is the answer you are looking for.
Fu Yunge's gaze also slowly lowered following this person. Hu Gan had already bowed deeply, and the people around him also bowed to him.
Fu Yunge nodded naturally. The man recognized him and nodded in greeting.
Elegant and handsome, his appearance is somewhat similar to Dongfang Shiming. The visitor was dressed in light green clothes and a high crown with black ribbon, and his temperament was refined.
But in terms of age, he is older than Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming.
"Brother Dongfang." Seeing him coming down, Fu Yunge took a step forward, "You too..."
"Yes." The visitor nodded and turned to look at him, "Have you been living comfortably during this time?"
Fu Yunge smiled: "Thanks to your care, I feel very good here during this period."
"Ah That's good."
Obviously he still had something on his mind, so he didn't chat with Fu Yunge for long.
After walking a few steps not far away, Fu Yunge heard his voice scolding his servant again. Turning around to look at the scene in the snow, I realized that he was complaining that everyone was not prepared well enough and had neglected something.
Dongfang Chengtian. Fu Yunge read his name in his mind.
It seems that this is the elder brother who really cares about his younger brother. When Dongfang Shiming came back today, he was so prepared and caring, which showed how much he valued his little brother.
The snow gradually became lighter, turning from flakes into snow particles. The "papa" hit the clothes loudly, and then melted away quickly.
Fu Yunge stood under the eaves, holding his hands in his sleeves and looking into the distance.
Dongfang Chengtian and Hu Gan both went to prepare. Although it was still a long time before noon, the preparations for lunch and the reception had been arranged in detail. Fu Yunge smacked his lips as he looked at the servants hurriedly walking past the court from time to time.
It seems... a bit strange indeed.
Why did a family that cared so much about Dongfang Shiming let him live alone in the lower world, indifferent to it for so many years?
He became more and more confused. After all, this is someone else's family matter, and he is an outsider after all.
…………
time flies. It was almost afternoon when the figure that everyone was waiting for finally appeared in the distance.
The snow stopped for a while at noon, but the cold wind kept blowing. In the afternoon, snowflakes began to fall again, and the clouds on the zenith seemed to be frozen, not moving at all.
In front of Shi Yitang, Dongfang Chengtian has already led people to wait inside. Fu Yunge stood at the door, watching the figure approaching from far away.
"Finally back."
The generals at the door all saluted respectfully after seeing the visitor. The visitor quickly waved his hand and walked into the house surrounded by the two goalkeepers.
Dressed in white and red, she looks very conspicuous. Dongfang Shiming is dusty and has a snowy face, but he does not change his calm expression.
When Fu Yunge saw his friend, a smile appeared on his lips.
Dongfang Chengtian and others also stood up after seeing this.
However, what caught them all before them was a bow and arrow as fast as a locust!
There was a "swish" sound, and the traces of snow brushed against the eaves. Like a bright arc of light, it flew across everyone's field of vision and pierced Dongfang Shiming!
The light of the arrow passed through the tip of Dongfang Shiming's hat in an instant.
Caught off guard, everyone's pupils shrank. However, when they looked again, everyone's hearts suddenly jumped into their throats, and then they fell back to their original positions in shock.
Then, there was a rustling from the eaves.
Dongfang Shiming gently took off his hat. Looking at the little man jumping from the roof, he couldn't help but show a friendly smile.
"You're back. Didn't you bring your beautiful little wife back this time?"
Unexpectedly, the girl who jumped down did not cater to Dongfang Shiming's kindness. She was holding a wooden bow in her hand. Judging from her age, she was even one or two years younger than Bai Hao.
"Bier, he is your brother. Don't talk nonsense."
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Chengtian's reproachful voice came from behind. Everyone followed him out of the threshold and came to the court.
"Lueluo," Dongfang Bi tied the bow behind his back skillfully and turned to make a face at Dongfang Chengtian, "You are also my brother, what's so great about it?"
Dongfang Chengtian didn't speak immediately, but looked at this little girl, his expression suddenly darkened.
Seeing her brother like this, Dongfang Bi's little body trembled. She pouted, grabbed her bow and arrow and ran elsewhere.
Fu Yunge looked at Dongfang Bi running away and couldn't help but want to smile bitterly.
With such archery skills, this child really has a bright future. he thought.
Dongfang Shiming was ignored by his younger sister at first, but he didn't feel any displeasure at all. He pulled out the arrow that was stuck in his hat and looked at his elder brother with a smile.
"It's really not a worry." Dongfang Chengtian sighed, "We can't allow her to behave like this in the future. When a girl grows up, she needs to be taught etiquette and upbringing."
After saying that, he looked at Dongfang Shiming again, reached out and patted the snow on Dongfang Shiming's shoulder: "I frightened you."
"It's a good thing that my little sister is lively." Dongfang Shiming lowered his eyelids, "I'm very happy."
"Bai Hao didn't come back with you?" Fu Yunge asked from the side.
Dongfang Shiming hasn’t seen Fu Yunge for a while. This time we met, it seemed that we met even more members of our family.
He nodded: "She went back to Bai's house by the way. She will come again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Let's go to the house and talk." Dongfang Chengtian hugged his younger brother from behind, looking very sincere, "It's snowing harder and harder outside. You have been eating and sleeping outside these days, and you look thinner."
…………
The wind was beating against the eaves of the courtyard, and the snow was falling like catkins. The wind made a muffled sound of "drum-drum-drum-drum" outside the door.
After serving warm tea, a group of servants changed Dongfang Shiming's snow-covered felt robe. The dishes that had been simmered on the warm fire for a long time were placed on the table in an orderly manner. Behind the screen, several people sat down along the table.
The lights on the wall next to it looked very warm. Dongfang Shiming expelled all the cold air from his chest and felt refreshed.
After briefly reminiscing with everyone, the focus of the two Dongfang brothers was obviously not on this. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Dongfang Shiming turned around and asked, "Father...how is his health now?"
"He is also waiting for you to come back. During this period, his condition is relatively stable... Mom, she is still taking care of him."
