The man smiled when he saw the two of them. For a moment, only eight words came to Li Hong's mind - elegant gentleman, gentle and elegant as jade.
He first stepped forward to help Xu Yingluo up, looked at the pretty girl in front of him with gentle eyes, and smiled more and more gently. He said with emotion: "Jun'er... has grown up."
Xu Yingluo lowered her eyes, and then said playfully, "Jun'er has grown up, but Mr. Yuan hasn't changed at all, he's still so good-looking."
Hearing this, Shen Jingting shook his head with a smile: "I really don't know that Jun'er is so sweet."
The scorpion is often married very early. The emperor of the Xu family is twenty-four years old. He is just young, but he is prudent and steady. He is in charge of the entire internal and external affairs of the Xu mansion. Marry to be a husband. When Li Hong was thinking endlessly, the court gentleman came over, cupped his hands and said: "Xu Shen has met the prince of Qi."
As soon as Li Hong came back to his senses, he quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Your junior dare not, my uncle can just call me Li Hong."
In terms of status, the lord of the Xu family is the right husband of Lord Hou, and also the rightful king of Shangshu, a second-rank imperial order bestowed by the palace. In terms of seniority, Mrs. Shen is his own cousin. As a junior, he should be the same. He greeted you.
"That's right, just call him Li Hong, Hong Er, or Hong Hong?" Xu Yingluo giggled.
"You—" Li Hong blushed suddenly, the grandmother in the palace always called him Honghong in front of all the granddaughters, Xu Yingluo often teased him about this matter.
Shen Jingting watched the young couple joking, and found it quite amusing. It wasn't until Li Hong was choked up by Xu Yingluo's few words that his face turned red and his neck was thick, he came out to help others and said: "Jun'er, your father doesn't know you have arrived, and will return to the mansion later. There is a family banquet in the mansion tonight. Uncles and Uncles are all here to cleanse the dust for the two of you." There was a happy event at home, the fathers gathered together, Shen Jingting thought about it for a while, and smiled, feeling extremely rare in his heart.
When Xu Yingluo heard that her father was coming back later, her eyes flickered for a while, but there was still a slight smile on her face. At this time, the three of them suddenly heard "Daddy", and turned around to see a boy with a long hair running in from outside.
Just look, he has two buns on his head, and his small appearance is as delicate as a jade doll. He ran to the man's side, raised his head and asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, why did you come back so early today?"
When Shen Jingting saw the child, his eyes immediately overflowed with soft light. When Li Hong saw that child, he was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the person in front of him was not only the Lord of the Xu family, but also gave birth to a son.
A servant woman chased after her, saw several people in the hall, thought that the master was seeing a guest, and said in a panic: "Master, it's the servant who didn't like the young master, so the servant will take the young master down."
He grabbed Father's clothes and refused to let go no matter how much he coaxed him. The man had no choice but to let him go, and then pushed him and said, "Xuanyuan, this is your sister Jun'er, and elder brother Shizi."
The young master of the Xu family, whose nickname is Won Won, is taken from "the flowers bloom on the Moshang, but they can be returned slowly", to make Won Won slowly. Back then, Shen Shi had been away from home for two years, and not many people knew about it.
Huanhuan looked up, not afraid of life, came out and saluted the two of them: "Wuanhuan has seen my brother and sister." When I saw it, I couldn't help laughing.
"Little Huanyuan really looks like Yuanjun, and he will be a handsome son in the future." Xu Yingluo lowered her body, looked at the little nose and big eyes, and she was indeed very similar to Shen Jingting's appearance, "Little Huanyuan Call me elder sister, then I will naturally have to give you a gift." She took out a kit, which she thought had been prepared before, and inside was a pair of small gold bracelets.
Yuanyuan took the kit with both hands, bowed again, and said obediently: "Thank you sister."
Shen Jingting quietly looked at the pair of siblings, his expression was full of relief and emotion.
Xu Yingluo patted the child's head, stood up, and then pushed the dazed young man beside him: "Brother Shizi, where's your gift?" Li Hong suddenly came back to his senses, and pointed to himself: "I, I also Yes?"
"En." Xu Yingluo lifted her chin and said leisurely, "Your Majesty chose a younger brother for nothing, and you still want to play tricks?"
Li Hong hurriedly touched his body, and after searching for a long time, he found a paper-wrapped candied fruit, and hurriedly brought it up: "Brother has... only this, Xiao Yuanyuan, don't dislike it."
Huanhuan opened the paper bag, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "How does Brother Shizi know, this is what Huanyuan likes to eat the most."
Several people laughed again, at this time, a man in white clothes walked in from outside the hall, he said loudly as he walked: "It's so lively here today, what's the fun, how can you leave me?"
Then Li Hong saw another man who was as smooth as jade, and saw that he was as handsome as a crown jade, with a tall figure, with a graceful appearance and a moonlike charm as he walked, as if he did not eat the fireworks in the world, and he was like a person who walked out of a book. Immortal character. He only heard the servants of Xu's mansion call him "Third Master" respectfully, so he knew that this person was the master of the Xu family who did not serve in office. Li Hong once heard people say that the third son had been sick since he was a child, but when he saw him today, he had a ruddy complexion, and he didn't look like he had been ill for a long time.
When they saw the ceremony, Yuan Huan clamored for his father to hug him. Xu Qihe hugged Yuanyuan, wiped his greasy mouth with his sleeves, nodded his nose and said, "You, if you eat any more, you will become a piglet, and fathers will not be able to hold you. "
Won Won didn't believe it at all, and said: "Why, the second father said this morning that he wanted to tie Won Won... to the waistband of his trousers, and secretly take him to court!"
Several people laughed loudly, and talked happily for a while, and then went back to rest. In the evening, the uncle and the second master returned to the Xu Mansion, and as soon as everyone arrived, a family banquet was held.
Only then did Li Hong meet his cousin, Xu Yingluo's father, the mighty General Zhenbei. Marquis Zhenping was much younger than he imagined. He didn't have a beard on his face, and he wore a leather mask on the right side of his face. It is said that he met King Wuxu Khan on the battlefield, and King Khan took one of his eyes from him. He also cut off one of the Khan's arms. Li Hong grew up listening to his cousin's heroic deeds since he was a child. He looked at Xu Yingluo, and thought that his little cousin was so heroic, she was indeed the daughter of his cousin's family. But Xu Yingluo glanced at him and teased, "I still remember when you were four years old, when my father hugged you, you cried, and grandma grandma said, after all, I am the daughter's family, or you are the daughter. "
Li Hong's face was full of embarrassment, Zhen Pinghou put down his wine glass and said, "Jun'er, don't be rude to your son."
Xu Yingluo restrained her smiling face, and said calmly, "My daughter knows."
At this moment, another man on the seat said, "Today is a happy day for Jun'er to come home, Jun'er, don't worry about your father, second uncle will toast you." Xu Yingluo then smiled again, raised her glass and said, "Jun'er also Respect Second Uncle, the official fortune is prosperous, and he is getting more handsome every year."
Hearing this, the man smiled heartily, he was handsome and personable, he was a rare handsome man in the world, he was naturally the second master of the Xu family who was the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and all men and women in Beijing dreamed of him.
Li Hong scanned around the three masters of Xu's family, secretly lamenting that these three people have very different personalities, but no matter which one they are, they are all dragons and phoenixes, nothing out of the ordinary. Thinking of this, his eyes subconsciously and quietly fell on Lord Shen who was in the front seat. Seeing that the man changed into a suit of clothes, it was still a jade crown cloak, holding a jade cup in his hand and smiling quietly, the soft candlelight illuminated his face hazy and gentle.
When Li Hong was in a trance, he suddenly felt a pain in his back. He suddenly woke up from the pain, turned his head to look at the culprit next to him, and whispered: "Why are you pinching me?"
But Xu Yingluo snorted softly and whispered, "Hong'er, he's your cousin uncle, isn't it good to stare at him all the time?"
Li Hong's face turned pale in shock, grabbed Xu Yingluo's sleeve, and secretly said anxiously: "You, don't talk nonsense... you want to kill me?!"
Xu Yingluo knew that the joke had gone too far, so she hurriedly coaxed him and said, "Okay, okay, it's my cousin talking nonsense, don't be angry, I'll punish myself."
Only then did Li Hong breathe a sigh of relief, but after Xu Yingluo said it, he also secretly felt that he had lost his composure, and after a drink, he never dared to look at Shen again.
Except for Xu Yingluo and Xu Changfeng's father and daughter who didn't have much communication, this family banquet was a good time for both guests and hosts. Among them, the second master is undoubtedly the best drinker, and Prince Qi's son was a little dizzy after being downed two glasses. Xu Yingluo also used a few more cups, and then asked the girl to help her up before she could go back to the yard. After the banquet was over, everyone went back separately, and the soft chariot of Yuan Jun stopped at the other side of the big room.
In the room, candlelight shines.
There was mist in the bathroom, the man had his crown removed, his hair let down, his chest was soaked in hot water, his naked body was covered with old wounds. Outside the barrel, a man stood behind the man. He held a comb in one hand and brushed his black hair gently and gently with the other.
There are no other outsiders here, only them. Shen Jingting stroked his hair, saw the few white strands, he stopped, and a voice came from the front: "What's wrong?"
The voice was hoarse and deep, but extremely pleasant. Shen Jingting didn't know what he was thinking about, and couldn't help smiling gently on his face.
