Chapter 1207 1207: Spring is coming again [please vote]
Shen Tang came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Before Chu Yao left, he gave Jimo Qiu a meaningful afterglow.
The corners of the lips of the young high priest with a hint of cinnabar on his eyebrows slightly curled up, and he continued to lower his head to handle the herbs for the Gu worms. Just after turning them twice, a gust of wind came over the courtyard wall, accompanied by the giggles of the young children. Gong Xiqiu held Adou in one hand and carried a pile of new year's goods in the other hand.
“Brother, I’m back.”
Adou is also babbling when he is learning.
The child has just sprouted some white and waxy teeth, and crystal saliva hangs from the corner of his mouth. He can wet more than a dozen saliva towels a day. Gong Xiqiu raised his hand to remove the wind-proof barrier for Adou, threw the baby into the [Corpse Vine] version of the baby cradle, and began to unpack the new year's goods.
“Mama came here just now?”
The courtyard wall still retains a familiar atmosphere.
“Your Highness has just left.”
Jimo Qiu took out two red envelopes from his arms, one big and one small, the big one was heavy on his hand. Of these two red envelopes, one was sent by Shen Tang just now, and the other was given by Jimo Qiu. Gong Xiqiu knew which copy was sent by who without opening it.
“How old am I, and I’m still collecting money from you?”
Say this, and receive the red envelope faster than anyone else.
Jimo Qiu said: "You still have your room."
Gong Xiqiu's cultivation has reached a critical juncture, and the surrender and fusion of Wudan Totem is just a step away. Jimo Qiu checked the clan records overnight and refined several kinds of Gu insects, which should be enough for Gong Xiqiu to fully absorb them. If it had been in the past, Gong Xiqiu, a martial arts idiot, would have jumped up and gone straight to the room, but now he was stopped by Adou.
Just because there is a smell in the air.
Gong Xiqiu knew what was going on without getting close.
"Adou pooped again... Her diapers can't even be dried..." With a long arm, he lifted Adou into his arms and climbed over the wall to find the maid who was serving Adou.
Adou was with him during the day, and the wet nurses and the others took care of him at night.
Although Gong Xiqiu and Jimo Qiu are Adou's uncles, they are not related by blood after all. Adou cannot take care of all his affairs. We must avoid suspicion when we should, so servants and wet nurses are indispensable. In addition, the two brothers have not married yet, so they cannot let them do it. The servant woman comes to live in the house and disturbs the purity. When Adou peed, Gong Xiqiu would pack the child back. Xun Ding felt it was unnecessary.
【Can't you two just move into the house? 】
There are few people at home, and the living room is empty.
Xun Ding didn't really want his two uncles to live here. He didn't want to be beaten by Gong Xiqiu every now and then, but he just couldn't bear to not see his daughter during the day. Gong Xiqiu: [Inconvenient. 】
【We are all one family, what's the inconvenience? 】
【It is inconvenient for the eldest brother to raise a child. 】
Xun Ding couldn’t believe his ears and glanced at Gong Xiqiu hesitantly: [Child? Does the eldest brother have an outhouse? 】
Aren’t the Gongxi clan very taboo on this kind of scumbag behavior?
Gong Xiqiu: […the child I’m talking about is a worm…]
There are poisonous insects raised by the elder brother everywhere in the house.
If the servants don’t understand, it’s easy to be accidentally injured.
Xun Ding: 【…】
What made his blood pressure soar even more was the food Gong Xiqiu fed his daughter from time to time. At first he thought it was a baby snack, but upon closer inspection he realized that the snack actually writhed and was clearly a white jade insect!
Even though this insect looks good-looking, exudes the fragrance of orchids, and looks quite appetizing, it is still a big fat insect!
Gong Xiqiu rolled his eyes: [I have no knowledge. 】
Xun Ding: 【…】
Gong Xiqiu looked at Xun Ding up and down, his eyes showing the same disdain that he had for many years, and what he said was even more heartwarming: "If it weren't for your biological father holding you back and not being able to provide good seeds, why would Adou's qualifications be so sloppy?" Deficiencies in nature can only be made up for in the future. While the root bone has not yet been finalized, it can be salvaged. 】
Gong Xiqiu said quietly: "You have made a lot of money." 】
He hummed: "I have never been treated like this before. 】
The Gongxi clan attaches great importance to Gongxi Qiu, but he is not the only one of the right age in the clan. In addition, the clan suffered heavy losses several times during their migration, and many precious objects were lost. The high priest who can refine Gu insects is old and lacks energy. Not enough, the number of refined Gu insects is limited. In Gong Xiqiu's memory, he only ate it once or twice a month.
Adou can now mix the Gu insects with rice, give her the Gu insects raised by her elder brother, and save her qualifications for dog chewing. What's more, Adou's qualifications are not as bad as Gong Xiqiu said, but they are not that outstanding. Less than above, more than below, more than a model.
Xun Ding: 【…】
Gong Xiqiu would not harm Adou, but every time he saw Adou chewing bugs as snacks, his eyes darkened—the scene was indeed a bit heavy—and he also wondered, is it really so delicious?
The wet nurse finished changing Adou's diaper.
Xun Ding stepped forward to tease Adou. While coaxing him, he said behind Gong Xiqiu's back: "Adou, let daddy have a taste."
Adou cannot understand what adults are saying.
However, when she saw a big head approaching and opening its mouth to her, she put her fat white hand into her mouth, took out the half-chewed, wet Gu worm, and handed it to Xun Ding's mouth.
Xun Ding pointed to her other hand.
“Daddy wants to eat this.”
She still has a complete one on her hand.
Adou answered simply. She stuffed the intact one into her mouth and reheated the battle-damaged one. She didn't give half of it to Xun Ding.
Want to love or not.
Xun Ding: “…”
Gong Xiqiu's merciless ridicule came from behind.
Xun Ding: “…”
As the only son-in-law of the Gongxi clan, Xun Ding can’t twist his second uncle’s thigh with his arm. When others laugh at him, he can only accept it with a smile. By the way, I want to know how to arrange this year’s New Year’s Eve banquet...
Gong Xiqiu: "What happened in previous years, so will we do this year."
The New Year's Eve banquet is basically a lively dinner together as a family. In the past two years, it didn't matter if they were on the battlefield, but this year, with the addition of Adou, the family dinner cannot be vague and perfunctory. Xun Ding said: "In previous New Year's Eve banquets, Alai would hold a banquet to entertain guests..."
Speaking of guests, they are actually familiar faces.
Although most of the private tribe left behind by Gong Xiqiu went their separate ways and had their own families, there were also some who were single and widowed. Gong Xi was worried that they would fall in love with each other, so every year he would arrange a New Year's Eve banquet to have a good time and settle the accounts. Year-old business balance bonus, the atmosphere is quite good. This year was special. Gong Xilai didn't know whether to make such an arrangement, so he asked Xun Ding to come and ask the two brothers if they had time - she didn't come because she was busy.
There are too many accounts to be reconciled at the end of the year.
Xun Ding felt pitiful when he thought about it. During the Chinese New Year, his father worked in the household department to settle accounts, and his wife also went out to settle accounts. He wanted to live with Adou, and there was also the evil second uncle Gong Xiqiu who was causing trouble.
Gong Xiqiu waved his hand: "It's fine as usual."
He can make do with everything.
The Chinese New Year is a big day for the world, but for Gong Xiqiu, it is just an ordinary day. At most, this day is more lively.
The real big day for the Gongxi clan is the birthday of the god.
Hmm, once every four years.
Xun Ding hesitated and wanted to say something else. Gong Xiqiu didn't like it when he saw that he couldn't fart with eight poles. He resisted the urge to beat his sister-in-law during the Chinese New Year and said: "If you have any farts, hurry up!"
Xun Ding took out a pile of scrolls.
Gong Xiqiu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Xun Ding said: "The portrait that the Iceman sent to my house."
Gong Xiqiu didn't know what to say: "What portrait?"
"Which one of the officials' children likes it? Let Iceman bring a portrait to the door to check out the taste. If you can follow the procedures, if not, try the next one. Ahem, don't look at the second brother, you don't often show up in front of people, but in Iceman There, you are the one!" Xun Ding made a "good luck" gesture. If Gong Xiqiu's whereabouts had not been a mystery, the Iceman would have leveled the door of the house and piled up the portraits.
Xun Ding felt that Gong Xiqiu was not interested in blind dates.
Unexpectedly, my second uncle picked up a portrait.
Hmm, there are actually men and women... Xun Ding’s eyes almost popped out.
Could it be that Alai gave birth to Adou, and this second uncle, who was always fighting and practicing as soon as he opened his eyes, had the idea of starting a family?
Gong Xiqiu asked: "Is there anyone who can fight?"
Xun Ding subconsciously said: "Well, no..."
Gong Xiqiu threw the scroll back to its original place with a disappointed look on his face, and commented lightly: "No one can beat me! Ordinary people! Tell me if you can beat anyone else."
"ah?"
“Don’t want to waste time.”
The weak cannot make his cold blood boil. He is a snake. An opponent who is too weak can only be treated as a prey to feed himself, rather than a partner that can be entwined and coexist. There is a huge difference between the two.
Xun Ding: “…”
Gong Xiqiu’s standard for choosing a mate is doomed to be a bachelor for the rest of his life!
Shen Tang was anxious to realize his dream, and for the first time, he jumped over other people on the path and looked for Qishan first, but to his surprise, he was in vain. Qi Miao is the only one in Qi Shan's family, and she is carefully checking more than a hundred pieces of money.
These extortion money are all for the baby girl in the shantang.
Shen Tang came here in good spirits, but returned in despair. Before leaving, Qi Miao called out: "My father is in 'Another Spring' right now."
“What is another spring? Where is it?”
The king of the country is not known everywhere.
Himiao asked the servant to lead Shen Tang the way.
To put it simply, Another Spring is an entertainment club. The owner behind it is a member of the aristocratic family. Many dignitaries like to come here for rest and entertainment. As a Zhongshu Ling, Qishan is naturally the one the owner of Another Spring is trying to win over.
Shen Tang said angrily: "Why didn't you win over me?"
Is it because she, the leader of the country, is not high enough?
Shen Tang stopped walking and turned around to ask Chu Yao: "Speaking of which, this [Another Spring] won't do anything gray or yellow, right? If it does, we will have some income during the New Year."
Let’s find out more about anti-black and anti-pornography.
Chu Yao said: "There should be none."
Shen Tang asked curiously: "Why?"
Chu Yao's expression was a bit strange: "I don't think Xu Wenzhu would have the guts to use the banner of being a master and do it in a righteous way..."
Shen Tang: “…”
【Another Spring】is considered one of Shen Tang’s private properties.
The family behind it is the Xu family.
Many officials speculated that this was a business for the Lord to make money through the Xu family, so they would naturally give him face, since the consumption was not that high anyway. No one expected that the real owner didn't know anything about it.
Shen Tang trusted Xu Jie and rarely checked the accounts.
Shen Tang will not pay attention to any new track or new business as long as the government can follow the normal procedures and it is a serious business.
Who would have thought that this thing still belongs to her.
Shen Tang: “…”
Because the writing is closed during the New Year, all officials are free and have time to contact relatives, friends and colleagues. Whether it is a banquet or a gathering, [Another Spring] is a good place to go. Business is pretty good at the moment.
Shen Tang easily found the place to pray.
“Yuanliang—”
Pushing the door open to the elegant courtyard, several people in the courtyard looked back.
Qin Li lost his mind and was splashed with water.
He wiped his face coldly, and taking advantage of Qi Shan's unpreparedness, he pressed the back of the opponent's head and pushed him into the water. His attack was swift and swift.
The heavy object fell into the water and caused a large splash.
“Master Qin is really cruel.”
You knew you were afraid of water, but you still pushed him into the water. Is this because you were afraid that he would not drown during the Chinese New Year? The praying for good things that fell into the water dissipated, and it turned out to be an incarnation. Qishan himself hid behind Shen Tang, taking advantage of Tang's power, and opened his mouth to ridicule Qin Li.
Qin Li said: "You shameless bastard!"
Shen Tang, who was pushed out by Qishan as a shield: "..."
Although I don’t know how to offend Qin Li by praying for good things, it is indeed not appropriate to have conflicts during the Chinese New Year: "Is Gongsu here too?"
When Qin Li and others saw Shen Tang arriving, they all put aside their matters and stood up to salute. Shen Tang glanced over and saw that besides Qin Li, there were also He Xin and his wife, Tan Mengyuan, Ning Yan, Li Wan and Kang Shi who were temporarily living in Qishan Mansion...
Shen Tang: “…”
When did Qi Shan’s popularity get restored?
"We're not in court now, so we don't need so many etiquette..." Shen Tang gestured to everyone to do what they should do and not to spoil the atmosphere with her appearance, "I'm here to find...your..."
Everyone else was present, it was hard to say that Shen Tang was only looking for Qishan.
While everyone was here, all the red envelopes were given out.
It also saves her more trips.
Tan Ting has grown so big that when he received such a red envelope on his hair, he couldn’t help but laugh and asked: "Shen Jun, Tan actually has one too?"
Shen Tang spoke without blinking: "Everyone has a share."
You can't let everyone be successful and leave Tan Ting alone. It is not easy to treat this situation differently, we can only treat them equally.
“What were you doing before?”
The topic changed very abruptly.
Pray for good deeds: "Competition fishing, divided into groups."
He drew lots and picked Li Wan. Qin Li was a good fisherman. One fish after another lined up to bite the bait. Seeing that he was about to lose, Qi Shan maliciously interfered with Qin Li's side. He knew that Qin Li would be angry, so he used his incarnation to talk to him in advance.
Shen Tang was speechless: "So you can't afford to lose?"
Qishan’s eyes widened and he said harshly: “Who can’t afford to lose?”
“Oh, I can afford to lose.”
You just can’t help but want to do this, right?
Shen Tang once again suspected that Qishan was a cat in his previous life, and his mean look was the essence of a cat. Although Qi Shan cheated, Qin Li couldn't resist Qin Li's advantage and won the fishing championship. Qi Shan was so angry that he kicked the fish basket back into the pond.
Shen Tang has not forgotten the purpose of his trip.
She wants to pray for good to pinch one for herself!
“…According to the body of Gong Xiqiu, pinch the face of the high priest! It’s the New Year, can’t you be dissatisfied with this?”
Qi Shan did not agree as readily as usual. He just raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yao behind Shen Tang, and the two quickly exchanged glances. Shen Tang didn't receive an answer for a long time, so he urged: "Yuan Liang?"
Qishan frowned and said, "Lord, what do you want this for?"
Shen Tang was suspicious: "Changing skin...do you need a reason?"
Pray for good deeds: “…”
In the new year, Shen Tang got a new skin experience card as he wished.
She raised her hand to touch her plump and elastic chest muscles, took a photo of herself in the water to admire her face, and gave Dream Master a five-star thumbs up.
