On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, it was snowing heavily. After half a month of long journey, Xu Lang arrived in Jindu. He did not go back to the Xu family. He went to the Shen family. After meeting Tao and his five sons, he washed up, changed his clothes, and went out to meet the King of Yan.

"It's wind, frost, snow and rain. Thank you for your hard work along the way. Isn't it okay for Sister Ninth?" King Yan asked with concern.

"I think the winter in Jindu is too cold, so I stayed in Yucheng and did not return to Beijing." Xu Lang said with a faint smile.

The King of Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Three years later, how about Xu Qing coming back to be the Right Minister of the Ministry of War?"

"Thank you for your promotion," Xu Lang bowed.

"Southern Myanmar and other countries have paid some fresh things. You can take them back to play with Sister Ninth. I will send them to Xu's mansion later." The King of Yan smiled.

"Xiao Guan has lived at his mother-in-law's house these days." Xu Lang said with a faint smile.

"Then I'll send the things to the Shen family." King Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Prince." Xu Lang smiled.

"Some little things are not worth mentioning." King Yan waved his hand.

The next day, Xu Lang went to the Ministry of Personnel. The King of Yan had already greeted him in advance. Xu Lang had almost no time to get the exam. He was an excellent candidate and continued to be re-elected as the commander-in-chief of the Chief Commander. At noon, he met Cheng Jue in Baofu Building. Although Cheng Jue was concerned about Shen Danxia, ​​he did not ask about her situation.

"Next year's boy trial, I want to let Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang come to an end." Cheng Jue said directly.

"You are their husband. If you think you can, I don't object." Xu Lang believed in Cheng Jue and his son.

"Do you go back to Beijing to work this time or stay in office?" Cheng Jue asked.

"Keep the job." Xu Lang replied.

"You will be lazy." Cheng Jue teased.

Xu Lang smiled slightly, "If you can, you will work harder."

"It's just a coincidence." Cheng Jue said modestly. There are many talents in the world, and more people want this Jackie Chan achievement. He does not think he is an indispensable helper around King Yan.

While talking, the guy brought the wine and food in. Xu Lang poured a glass of wine for Cheng Jue, raised his glass and said, "Please."

Cheng Jue raised his glass and clinked him. He drank the glass all over, and Cheng Jue picked up a pot and poured wine.

The next day, Xu Lang went to visit Xu Kui in the village. Although he had no feelings for this father, his father and son could not be cut off. In order not to be impeached by the censor, he had to go this trip. Xu Kui was wearing a Taoist robe, with no beard on his chin, and his throat joints were not as obvious as before.

Xu Lang bowed and said, "I have met the old man, I wish you goodbye to him."

Xu Kui stared at Xu Lang with a secluded look and asked in a sharp voice: "Why are you the only one? Why don't you bring those five boys to meet me, my grandfather? You are an official in another place and cannot support me and your mother, so let those five boys come here to support me."

"Dream." Xu Lang said coldly.

"You rebellious son, if you dare not send those five boys over, I will sue you and sue you for being unfilial." Xu Kui threatened.

Xu Lang snorted coldly, walked out, went to the front yard of the village, and saw the manager, "The old man is in poor health, so let him rest in the room in the future. Don't go to places where he shouldn't go."

The manager said clearly: "The young one will serve the old man well, and will definitely let the old man stay in the room and rest well."

Xu Lang did not give too much instructions and went back to the city directly. He stayed in Jindu for another three days, visited close relatives and friends, and left Jindu and returned to Yucheng. He wanted to rush back to spend the New Year with Shen Danxia. Two days after he left, Xu Kui fell while entering the toilet, broke his tailbone and could not stand. He also suffered a stroke, his mouth was tilted and his words were unclear.

Xu Lang had left Jindu, and the manager informed Xu Yi, Xu Shuo and Xu Sheng. The three brothers rushed to the village in a slight manner and saw Xu Kui with a sloppy mouth flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his face was full of disgust. After discussing, the three brothers left Xu Kui on the village on the grounds that Xu Kui was weak and not suitable to move, and did not take him back to the city.

On the evening of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Danxia thought that Xu Lang might be able to come back today, so he prepared supper himself and stewed thick chicken soup, hoping that the man who was rushing all the way would come back, eat a good meal and drink hot soup to relieve the cold.

But as night fell, the dishes on the table gradually lost the heat, and Xu Lang returned, Chen Danxia became more and more anxious as he waited. Xu Lang had arrived at home at this time in previous years, why haven’t he come back this year? Is the King of Yan not letting him come back? Or did he encounter any storm on the road?

Qingxiang asked the maid to take down the food and heat it up again. After it was brought back, "Madam, you should eat something, don't starve."

"Soak rice with chicken soup." Chen Danxia had no appetite. After eating only half a bowl, he asked the maid to remove the food and lean on the couch in a daze. At this moment, Chen Danxia missed the modern, convenient and fast communication equipment. How great would it be if he had a mobile phone at this time.

Seeing that Chen Dan was sitting and lying down, Mo Shi asked Mingxiang to bring a new book, "Madam, maybe the Third Master is about to arrive at the city gate now. Please read the book and wait for the Third Master to come back."

Chen Danxia was unwilling to think randomly. Zhao Xiangzhao was worried. After listening to Mo Si's advice, he flipped through the script and distracted his energy. Xu Lang returned home and was almost at midnight. When he entered the door, he saw that the lights were still on in the warm room. He frowned slightly, "Madam isn't sleeping yet?"

"Miss is waiting for the third master to come back." Qingxiang took Xu Lang's cloak and said.

Xu Lang walked into the warm pavilion and found that Chen Danxia was leaning against the lead pillow and was already asleep. The book in his hand fell to the ground. Xu Lang walked over and reached out to pick him up, preparing to carry her to bed. Chen Danxia woke up and saw that it was Xu Lang clearly, and smiled, "You are back, why are you so late? Did you encounter anything on the way?"

"I have been delaying some time on the road in order to bring you surprises." Xu Lang put Chen Danxia back on the couch.

"What surprise?" Chen Danxia asked curiously.

Xu Lang kissed her lips and said, "You will know tomorrow morning. I'll go take a shower, and you'll wait for me in bed."

"It's mysterious. If there is only surprise and no joy tomorrow morning, I will bite you to death." Chen Danxia said viciously.

"It's a surprise, guaranteed." Xu Lang smiled.

Chen Danxia called the maid to bring hot water in to wash her, while Xu Lang went to the bathroom to take a shower and washed away all the dust. When he entered the bedroom, Chen Danxia was almost asleep. Xu Lang was warm by the smoke cage, got into the quilt, and took the person over. A small separation was better than a newlywed. Although Xu Lang was a little tired after rushing so far, it did not prevent him from loving his beautiful wife.

The next day, Xu Lang got up as usual to practice martial arts. Chen Danxia woke up, but she didn't get up immediately. In winter, she used to staying in bed. The child's cry came from outside, "Mom, mom."

"Zhuozi? How could I hear the sound of Zhuozi?" Chen Danxia frowned, "I think my son has hallucinations?"

"Mom, can we go in?"

"This is the sound of a bun." Chen Danxia lifted the quilt, got out of bed and grabbed the morning jacket on the clothes hanger, put it on his body, and ran out. The surprise that Xu Lang brought to Chen Danxia was his five sons, and Chen Danxia happily hugged this and that one.

The five sons came and the mansion became lively. On New Year's Eve, Pang Pang Zhuang led three young men to the yard with Chang Yan and Chang Mo to set off fireworks. Chen Danxia fell in Xu Lang's arms, "Thank you."

Xu Lang stretched out his finger and pressed it on her cherry lips, "Don't be so polite between husband and wife."

"By the way, Qing'er is good?" Chen Danxia asked.

"She is very obedient and listens to her mother and sister-in-law. Her mother invited two aunts from the palace to teach her the rules. However, her appearance is different from ordinary people. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, her mother did not let her go out, nor did she let me bring her to Yucheng." Xu Lang explained.

"Since you have adopted her, you must do your best to protect her." Chen Danxia said seriously.

"When she and the hairpin, we will find her a honest and reliable husband." Xu Lang touched her head and said.

"Yes." Chen Danxia nodded.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, the Feng family held New Year's Eve. Xu Lang and Shen Danxia took their five sons to the banquet. Although they had known that they had five sons, they didn't see each other. When they saw each other today, they immediately attracted the envy of many wives. Xu Lang and the officials and gentry exchanged cups, while Chen Danxia chatted with the wives. Mrs. Feng asked the eldest grandson Feng Zhen to take the five young masters of the Xu family to the small warm room to play with the other children.

There were seven or eight boys in their teenage years old sitting in the small warm room, and they soon became familiar with each other. They felt that it was rare to meet the New Year after the New Year, and they thought that drinking some wine was considered enjoyable. Feng Zhen, as the master, didn't advise him much and ordered his servants to send peach blossom wine that was not easy to intoxicate.

When you drink a friend, you have a few glasses of wine. The people in the family are not around. These half-aged boys are like Monkey Monkeys who have taken off their tight curse and indulge in drinking wine. But after all, wine is wine, not water, and you will still get drunk if you drink too much. Pangpang has always been steady and stops drinking. When he sees three young people, he blushed and smiles with his little mouth. He quickly goes over and grabs the wine glasses in their hands and doesn't allow them to drink again. He stops the three young people and looks back at Zhuangzhuang for drinking with others.

"What are you doing?" Pangpang stepped forward and snatched the wine glass from his hand.

"Brother, this wine is delicious." Zhuangzhuang said in a dim manner with drunken eyes.

"You can't drink it like this even if you have a good drink. We are here at other people's houses. You should calm down and don't do anything that is unethical after drinking." Pangpang glared at him.

"Okay, okay, I won't drink anymore." Zhuangzhuang put down his wine glass.

"Brother, brother, I'm going to swear, I'm going to swear." Jiaozi clamped his feet tightly.

"Sixth brother, how old are you, you are still talking." Zhuangzhuang curled his lips.

Jiaozi pouted and said, "I'm happy and say whatever I say, don't worry."

"You're looking for a fight." Zhuang Zhuang fisted.

"Brother, second brother bullies me again." Jiaozi immediately complained.

"Sixth brother, come here, brother will take you to Xiaojie." Pangpang said with a hand. Dumpling is a bit foolish, and it is easy to get lost when you go to a strange place.

"I don't need to take my brother to take it. I can go there myself. I've grown up and I'm a big child." Jiaozi patted his chest and said.

"Really?" Pangpang asked with a frown.

"Yes, yes." Dumplings pinched the teapot spout through the brocade robe, and ran out in a hurry.

Seeing that Pangpang was worried about following, Feng Zhen hurriedly said, "The pure room is not far away. If there is a maid following her, she will bring Ling to her. Don't worry."

When Pangpang heard what he said, he sat down. He was afraid that once he walked away, Zhuangzhuang would fight with others for drinking, and his slightly drunk buns also needed his care. Anyway, dumplings would not be able to leave the Feng family, and at worst they would get lost in the Feng family.

As Pangpang expected, Jiaozi got lost in Feng's house, and he wanted to get rid of it. He ran very quickly. When the maid who went out with him was wrong, he saw no one. Jiaozi pinched the teapot spout and ran and nagged, "Clean room, clean room, where is the clean room? I can't hold it anymore, I can't hold it anymore, peeing is coming out, I'm going to come out."

He ran around anxiously, and turned around and ran into the person coming towards him. "Ouch!" Both of them cried in pain at the same time.

The little teapot of dumplings could not be controlled and came out loud. The round-faced girl who was knocked to the ground by dumplings was stunned. She looked at a large pool of water stains on the ground, and then the brocade robe of dumplings was wet, "You... you are so adult, you are still peeing and shameless."

"You are shameless. You knocked me down and made me urinate on my body. You said, what do you think you should do?" Jiaozi said with a sad face.

The round-faced girl pouted her mouth, "You knocked me down too."

"But you didn't urinate on your body." Dumplings got up from the ground. He drank too much wine, and the amount of urine was a bit large, making a large area of ​​wet in front and behind the brocade robe.

The round-faced girl looked at him in a mess and seemed to feel a little inappropriate, "What do you want?"

Jiaozi thought about it and said, "I'll hide behind the tree over there, go and find my elder brother."

"Who is your elder brother? I don't know him, so why should I find him?" the round-faced girl said in embarrassment.

"My elder brother is Xu Junyan, he is in the small warm-up hall over there." Jiaozi pointed down randomly and said.

"You are also a guest of the Feng family, what's your name?" asked the round-faced girl.

"My name is Xu Junten, what's your name?" asked Jiaozi.

The round-faced girl said, "My name is Qin Lu."

"Qin Lu, I remember, go and find my elder brother quickly, don't say that I've urinated on my body in front of everyone." Jiaozi's face was thick-skinned, but he still knew he was embarrassed.

"I won't say anything in front of everyone, I will call out your elder brother and secretly tell him." Qin Lu got up from the ground and patted the gray path on her skirt.

"Go quickly." Jiaozi ran behind the big tree and hid.
