When Geng Xingshuang realized what she had just done, a blush suddenly appeared on her face. She was about to say hello as if nothing had happened. She ignored the extremely embarrassing scene just now and saw Geng Shuhuai grinning. Said: "Sister Shuang, your face is so red, like...like...a monkey's butt! Hahaha!"
As soon as these words came out, the blush on Geng Xingshuang's face from shyness suddenly turned into a flush from anger.
"Geng Shuhuai, what did you say?" Even the second brother didn't want to shout anymore, bullshit brother-sister relationship, she...she was so angry!
"I said your face looks like...ah, Luxi, when did you show up?"
Geng Shuhuai was about to honestly repeat what he just said when he suddenly felt a weight on his head, and a familiar weight and scratching feeling suddenly hit his whole body.
He immediately realized that the top of his head was once again used as a bird's nest.
"Second brother, you are very good. You can even tell whether the one on top of your head is red or green without looking, just by feeling. You are really experienced!"
Geng Xingshuang seized the opportunity and immediately counterattacked, avenging the monkey's butt just now.
"Sister Shuang, are you my sister or his sister? Didn't you realize that Lu Xi was ordered by him to dominate me? Your second brother, I managed to comb my hair this morning. Now that Lu Xi has done this to my bun, do you think I can still be seen in this image?"
Geng Shuhuai yelled angrily, while he kept reaching out to grab Lu Xi above his head.
Green Xi is more flexible than Red Fu. Whenever Geng Shuhuai's big hand is about to catch it, it flies up. When he puts down his big hand, it falls on top of his head again.
Geng Shuhuai made Lu Xi almost crazy.
"Yang Liu, don't let Lu Xi come down. Don't forget, this is my home, my parents, your future father-in-law and mother-in-law are in the house. You came to my house to bully me. Think about it, my father How would my mother view your future son-in-law?"
Geng Shuhuai was very proud of his quick wit. After finishing speaking, he looked at Yang Qingmo provocatively, feeling that he was now safe.
Sure enough, Yang Qingmo nodded after hearing what he said, "What you said makes sense."
"That's not true!" Geng Shuhuai raised his head, but he was not happy for a moment. He only felt a pain in his scalp. His face suddenly became ferocious and he shouted: "Get this lump off my head quickly!"
"Luxi, come down quickly!" Yang Qingmo followed the good advice.
Geng Shuhuai was just about to relax, but he felt that the weight on his head had not lightened at all.
"What's going on?" He was shocked, "This guy Luxi doesn't listen to you? We can't have this bird anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, his scalp hurt again.
Geng Shuhuai was completely out of temper.
"Humph, second brother, do you still say that my face looks like a monkey's butt?"
Geng Xingshuang gloated.
She was so embarrassed today.
Geng Shuhuai reacted suddenly as if he was blessed, "Sister Shuang, did you let Lu Xi play tricks on me?"
"Huh?" Geng Xingshuang nodded, looking arrogant.
"You...that's not right. How did you know that Lu Xi was here?"
"Hmph, not only do I know that Lu Xi is here, I also know that Hong Fu is here too!"
Geng Shuhuai immediately turned to look at Yang Qingmo, who said: "They came on their own!"
There was such a big commotion outside, and Geng Wen and Ruan in the house had already been disturbed. The couple stood on the verandah and watched the three people making trouble in the yard.
"Humph! When you left the hospital after breakfast, Hongfu and Luxi flew over."
Geng Xingshuang said, snapping her fingers, "Hongfu, come down!"
A white swan with a cluster of red feathers on its head fell from the sky. Geng Shuhuai heard the noise and looked up quickly. He knew at a glance that the direction Hong Fu had landed was also his head.
"Sister Shuang, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that your face looks like a monkey's butt. You are very beautiful. Your face is like flowers in spring, ice in summer, fruits in autumn, and warm sunshine in winter. It's easy to see. Make people happy!”
"Happy and happy, come and eat in the house. Hua Lian has prepared fresh river fish for you!"
Geng Xingshuang snapped her fingers again and called out. The two big white birds, one with red feathers and one with green feathers on their heads, were very obedient. They immediately abandoned Geng Shuhuai's head and flew towards their usual residence.
As soon as the red and green flowers flew away, Geng Shuhuai breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yang Qingmo's sleeves fluttering and he bowed his hands in the direction of the main room.
"Uncle Shi, Aunt Ruan!" He had just spotted the two of them. He was about to salute, but was interrupted by Ruan's wave of his hand. She really wanted to see her son playing happily in the yard, which made her feel particularly real. It feels like my son is really back!
Geng Shuhuai: Mom, I thank you!
Only then did Geng Shuhuai realize that his parents had come out at some point.
"Come inside quickly, the sun will shine in the yard soon."
Before Geng Wen could speak, Ruan had already greeted him with a smile.
The three of them followed the couple into the main room. The maids served refreshments. After everyone took their seats, Geng Wen asked about the situation in Pingcheng over the years, and then about the Yang family and Yang Shaojing and his wife who were far away in Suzhou.
"Two months ago, my father wrote a letter saying that in the twelfth month of this year, he would return to Ningdu to report on his work."
Geng Wen nodded, "We, Daning's external officials, are evaluated every three years. According to the performance evaluation, they will be promoted, demoted, or maintain the status quo. Brother Yang got the upper-middle grade three years ago... With Brother Yang's ability and character, this time he will definitely be the best." It can reach the top."
In the official assessment three years ago, Yang Shaojing got a middle or upper grade, and the Ministry of Personnel gave him an instruction not to be transferred temporarily.
In other words, Yang Shaojing stayed as the magistrate of Peng County in Suzhou for six years.
Therefore, it stands to reason that as long as the assessment this winter is not too bad and remains above average, Yang Shaojing's official position can be promoted at least half a step, from the seventh rank to the sixth rank.
"Uncle Chengshi's good words!" Yang Qingmo's attitude was upright, neither overly modest nor arrogant, and his sincere and upright attitude was always carried out throughout the entire conversation with Geng Wen Ruan.
Geng Xingshuang could tell that after this visit, her father and mother were more satisfied with Yang Liu.
"Sister Shuang, do you remember what my parents looked like when they saw me yesterday?"
Geng Shuhuai, who was sitting next to Geng Xingshuang, quietly leaned into her ear and whispered.
Geng Xingshuang rolled her eyes and immediately understood what her second brother was thinking. He was jealous. She pretended to think about it and said, "My parents were very excited and even greeted him outside the main courtyard."
This is a fact, Geng Shuhuai cannot deny it.
"But are they smiling so happily? Look at that man, look into Yang Liu's eyes, as if he wishes he was his son."
Geng Shuhuai motioned Geng Xingshuang to look at Geng Wen.
"My parents also laughed, but you were crying, so your eyes were blinded, so you didn't see it."
Geng Xingshuang kept talking nonsense.
"Really?" Geng Shuhuai couldn't believe it. He cried yesterday? It seemed that for a moment, his eyes felt wet, but he thought that only he knew, but he didn't expect that someone would see him. It was so embarrassing.
"Shu Huai, Qingmo returned to Ningdu this time to participate in the Qiu Wei Festival. What about you, what are you going to do next?"
Geng Shuhuai was secretly embarrassed when Geng Wen suddenly asked.
"I knew that if I stayed less than three days, he would dislike me. Sure enough, I haven't even stayed for a day!"
Geng Shuhuai muttered softly.
Geng Xingshuang also felt that her father was too anxious when asking questions.
Mrs. Ruan glared at Geng Wen and changed the subject: "Sister Shuang, those two big boxes of things were delivered by Brother Mo early in the morning. Let's see if we can divide them up and give them to your third aunt, seventh sister and the others." Send some over, some of them look like specialties from Pingcheng."
Geng Shuhuai was shocked when he heard this, "When did you send something here?"
"I asked the boy to deliver it early this morning. Because I was traveling on horseback and it was inconvenient to bring a box and cage, I had someone deliver it first."
Yang Qingmo replied matter-of-factly, and although he didn't know much about the current situation in the uncle's house, he still knew about the conflicts between the eldest house and the main courtyard and the second house, so he asked the servant to directly tell him the gift for the eldest house. , without passing through the main courtyard, the gift was given to the big house. As for who to give it to, it was not inconvenient for him to decide.
He will marry the sixth girl of his eldest son in the future, and only his eldest son's family will be his future in-laws. Although people at that time valued clans, when he knew that his eldest son was at odds with others, what his future son-in-law needed to do was That is to say, we must stand completely on the side of the long house and not have any vague attitude.
Otherwise, he looked at the little girl who stared at him from time to time, raised his lips slightly, and then glanced at Geng Shuhuai's chicken coop head. His head might be similar to that of his future uncle.
Geng Xingshuang naturally noticed Yang Qingmo's gaze. She was slightly embarrassed. Maybe it was because she had not seen him for nearly two years and was a little unfamiliar. It was definitely... definitely not because he looked too good-looking today.
Geng Xingshuang convinced herself in her heart, and stood up without looking away, and went to distribute the contents of the cage with Ruan.
Geng Wen, Geng Shuhuai, and Yang Qingmo were left to continue talking in the hall.
