Chen Danxia had an idea. As for whether Sun Zhenniang's cousin would do the same, Chen Danxia ignored it; not long after Sun Zhenniang left, Gao Lei came in with a writing book, "Auntie, I've finished writing."

"Let my aunt see." Chen Danxia put down his scissors and took the notebook. "It is very neat, and you have to write in such a stroke. Don't learn from your sixth brother. What kind of cursive paintings are you drawing? You just want to learn to run before you can walk."

Gao Lei giggled twice and asked, "Auntie, uncle and sixth brother will come back?"

Chen Danxia glanced at Shi Chenzhong in the corner and said, "Shen Shizhi should be able to come back." He raised his hand to touch Gao Lei's head, "Huajuan, do you want to go back to the palace?"

"I miss my mother, but I don't want to go back to the royal palace." Gao Lei said truthfully. He didn't want to go back to the royal palace, and he would pay his respects to the sarcastic mother every day.

"This is up to your father." Chen Danxia couldn't bear to part with Gao Lei, but this matter was not under her control.

"Auntie, will Sister Qing'er come back for the New Year?" Gao Lei asked.

"No, she will stay at my mother's house for the New Year." Chen Danxia also wanted to bring Qing'er back, but neither Qin nor Xiao Wang were worried. He didn't want to cause trouble. Qing'er was still staying in the Shen family and was taken care of by Tao.

Half an hour later, Xu Lang and his son came back, but Xu Lang had something to tell Chang Yan that he was still in the outer courtyard. The five brothers came in together. Zhuangzhuang had a gloomy face, and Pangpang still had a gentle smile. He learned enough about his husband Cheng Jue. Even if he was extremely angry in his heart, his smile was still the same as Xu Lang's expressionless face.

"What happened?" Chen Danxia asked.

Pangpang smiled and said, "It's okay."

Chen Danxia reached out and twisted his arm, "I've grown up and I know I'm lying."

Pangpang shrank and said, "Mom, just a little thing."

"What a trivial matter?" Chen Danxia glared at him.

"Mom, let me say it." Zhuangzhuang snatched the words.

Chen Danxia turned his eyes to Zhuangzhuang. Zhuangzhuang told the matter without any concealment. It was not a trivial matter, because it was related to Pangpang's life. Old Master Peng wanted to betroth Peng Yunyi, the eldest granddaughter of the second son, to Pangpang, but Xu Lang refused.

Chen Danxia's mouth twitched. How much does Old Master Peng like to use marriage tricks? Xu Kui and Peng are a pair of resentful couples, Xu Sheng and Peng Xin are a pair of resentful couples. He still doesn't give up. He actually wants to marry the Peng family daughter to Xu Jialang. Do you want to make up the third pair of resentful couples?

In the evening, after Chen Danxia and Xu Lang got off, Chen Danxia frowned and asked, "Is the news about Mr. Peng too late?" The treasures were taken out, and he was still planning the secret key of the Xu family here.

"It is reasonable that the treasure cannot be made public, and he doesn't know it." Xu Lang said coldly.

"He is really persistent." Chen Danxia sighed. In order to get the key, daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter, he went one after another.

Xu Lang sneered: "It's not persistence, it's stupidity. The Peng family does not have a peerless talent. They still cooperate with the Mu family with ambitions. They can't even take over the country. They also want to go north and south to become emperor." Old Master Peng has ambitions, but he does not have the ability to match it.

"The treasure has been taken out, and it's useless to keep the key. It's better to give it to him, so that he won't be staring at us all day long." Chen Danxia said with an idea.

Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "Give me the key of the Mu family." The key of the Xu family cannot be given, and it must be passed on to the next patriarch.

"I'll find it for you tomorrow." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

"Don't worry." Xu Lang tucked the quilt, "It's getting late, I'm going to bed."

The next day, the fourth son of the Xu family and five daughters-in-law went out to the countryside in the countryside. On the surface, they said that they would take Xu Kui back to the city for the New Year, but in fact they were just a formality. No one wanted to take the couple who were paralyzed in bed home.

When we arrived at the village, the four brothers went into the house to see Xu Kui. The fifth sister-in-law asked Xu Kui at the door and went to Chen Gun's room. The smell in the room was so savory, Chen Gun was fatter than six years ago, like a meat mountain piled on the bed, with fat on her face, and her big almond eyes were squeezed by the meat to leave only a slit.

"Madam, long time no see you, how are you?" Chen Danxia said.

Chen Pei looked at her, with no emotion in her eyes. She had been lying in bed for so many years. She knew in her heart that it was Chen Danxia's harm, but she couldn't even scold her, let alone take revenge. She accepted her fate, and the resentment gradually faded as time passed.

Everyone stayed in the village for half an hour and ordered the servants to continue to take good care of the old man and the old lady, and then returned to the city. The snow stopped for more than half a month in the middle of the night, and it fell from the sky in a turbulent way. The next day, the sky and the earth were covered with silver white.

"It's snowing, it's snowing." The dumplings and cotton coats ran out before they even buttoned them up. The wet nurse was so panicked that she followed behind and called Xiao Zuzong.

He asked someone to call Kang Kang, and the five brothers started to have a snowball fight. In the past six years, Xu Yi added three more illegitimate daughters, Xu Shuo added two more illegitimate daughters, Xu Sheng had one legitimate son and one legitimate daughter, and the Xu family was prosperous.

While the children were playing in the yard, Chen Danxia and Xu Lang sat in the warm pavilion and chatted, "When will the King of Yan take Huajuan back to the palace?"

"Gao Lei will continue to follow us." Xu Lang replied.

Chen Danxia frowned, "The backyard of the royal palace is so messy, is the King of Yan not even care?" As a legitimate wife, few people would like concubines and children of illegitimate children, but the identity of King Yan was destined not to belong to the same woman, and Yang Lingzhi was unable to restrain King Yan, and only knew how to deal with concubines and murder children of illegitimate children.

"If I didn't care, Concubine Xu would not have given birth to Gao Alum smoothly." Xu Lang understood that King Yan could not put all his energy into the backyard.

"Will Gao Aan be sent here again?" Chen Danxia asked.

"The King of Yan said it's not necessary for the time being." Xu Lang replied.

Chen Danxia sighed heavily.

Xu Lang asked, "What's wrong?"

"The rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Now the King of Yan wants to use the Duke Pei's Mansion, so he can only endure it. After the big thing is done, the princess is afraid that it will not have a good result." Chen Danxia said with a lip.

"I'll suffer." Xu Lang did not feel sorry for Duke Pei. This was the result of the bad kids' love. He hugged Chen Danxia tightly, "Don't worry, we won't go that step."

While the two were chatting, Xu Shuo and Xiao Wang were also chatting. After feeding their youngest son's breakfast, Xiao Wang asked the wet nurse to carry it down and said to Xu Shuo: "Second Master, my father has been in that position for six years. It's time to move up."

Xu Shuo put down the teacup and said with a look of dismay: "Li Niang, you know that I am just helping the family with common affairs. I have no connections in the officialdom, and I can't help with my father-in-law's affairs."

"You are so stupid, looking for the third brother. The third brother is the commander-in-chief and a third-rank official. His connections must be very powerful and he can definitely use his superior power." Xiao Wang did not expect Xu Shuo, she was the idea of ​​Xu Lang.

Xu Shuo frowned, "The commander-in-chief is a military position, and the official assessment is the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel."

"The third brother absolutely knew people in the Ministry of Personnel, otherwise how could he be promoted from the fifth grade to the third grade at once? You go to the third brother and say, if you don't go, I will go to the third brother and sister." Xiao Wang forced him.

Xu Shuo lowered his head and thought, "I understand, I will go to find my third brother."

At this time, the King of Yan brought Yang Lingzhi and his legitimate son Gao Ying into the palace. On the carriage, Yang Lingzhi said unhappily: "Prince, Lord Xu is too ignorant. He has returned from Yucheng and will not escort Lei'er back to the palace."

The King of Yan glanced at her and said, "It was the king who asked Lei'er to stay in the Xu family."

"This is not suitable." Yang Lingzhi frowned.

"What's wrong? Okay, if you have time to care about a concubine's son, why not care more about Ying'er. Yesterday, I checked Ying'er's homework and asked him to copy ten big characters every day. He copied it, but what did he copy it? He was in a rude way." The King of Yan said coldly.

"Don't calm down, I will talk to him well." Yang Lingzhi lowered her head and said.

King Yan snorted coldly, closed his eyes to rest, and looked at Yang Lingzhi for a second, and felt bored.

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Baozi and others' snowball fight ended. Several people were wearing deer leather boots, which could withstand the blisters of snow, but their clothes were wet, and they ran all over sweat, and white smoke came out of their hair.

When he entered the warmer hall, Shen Danxia quickly asked the wet nurses to serve them to change their clothes, and then each filled a bowl of steaming ginger candy water; the dumplings said disgustedly: "It's too spicy, I don't want to drink it."

"If you don't drink ginger candy water, then let Dr. Sun prescribe bitter medicine for you, prescribe three doses and six bowls." Shen Danxia threatened him.

Dumplings pouted and drank the ginger soup.

"Okay, let's adjust the color and make ice lamps." Shen Danxia was afraid that a few little guys would run out to play again, so he found something to leave the few people in the warm chalet.

Xu Lang went to the front yard to prepare for the sacrifice for a while. With the departure of the older generation, the second and third houses of the Xu family are now just from the eldest house to worship. They have become side branches and sacrifice themselves.

Shen Danxia asked the maid to bring the paint, "What color do you want to use if you choose?"

Shen Danxia did not have any rules when choosing things. From big to small, from small to big, but asked them to make a fist, choose first for winning, and choose later for losing. All the big and small were convinced. Five children formed a circle and showed their right hand at the same time. The bun was the back of the hand, and the others were all palms. The bun was the first to qualify, "Mom, I want red."

The second one is Gao Lei, "Auntie, I want green."

The third one is Kang Kang, "Sanniang, I want blue."

The fourth one is steamed bun, "Mom, I want purple."

Finally, there was dumplings. Now he didn't get scissors. He always made a punch, and the rules were mastered by others. He always lost, "Mom, I want yellow."

"Mom, please adjust the color too." Baozi suggested.

Shen Dan thought for a while and smiled and said, "I'll make a pink one."

The color was adjusted into the water, put it in a large stone pottery bowl, and a thick wooden stick was inserted in the middle of the bowl. Shen Danxia asked the maid to put the bowl outside to freeze. In addition to the six colored ones, Shen Danxia also frozen two colorless ones. Five little guys blinked, "Mom (aunt, Sanniang), that's fine?" The little guys felt it was too simple, and they did nothing.

"Now wait for the water to freeze. When the ice becomes so thick, you can make a lampshade." Shen Danxia gestured for a moment. Now it looks almost three or four degrees below zero, and the water should be able to freeze quickly.

Chen Danxia brought the children back to the room, "Although today is the Chinese New Year, my homework cannot be taken down. You haven't written your words today yet, so start writing." He asked the maid to put out all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The five of them sat on the warm kang and wrote patiently. Chen Danxia glanced at the dumplings that were scratching his head and said, "Write every stroke and stroke, and write it sloppy, so rewritten it."

Two quarters of an hour later, the steamed bun was the first to write it and showed it to Chen Danxia. Then the buns, Kang Kang and Gao Lei finished writing it, but there was still one piece of dumplings. The children were quite well-behaved. Although they wanted to go out to see if the ice lamp was ready, they sat in the house and didn't go out to wait for the dumplings.

After finishing the dumplings, I put on my cloak, ran to see the bowls, and shouted excitedly: "Mom (aunt, Sanniang,) is starting to freeze."

Chen Danxia walked out to take a look, calculated for a while, and said, "It will take another two quarters of an hour."

Several people went back to the room. Chen Danxia glanced at Shichenzhong. It was already noon and asked the maid to bring the lunch in. Xu Lang and Pang Pang Zhuangzhuang's lunch was packed in a food box and delivered to the front yard.

After lunch, the water in the bowl had a thick layer of ice. They were taken out of the bowl and took out the thick wooden sticks. Chen Danxia took the children to make ice lampshades. After they were done, they drilled two small holes above and tied two thick threads.

The ice lantern was ready, and a few children walked around the corridor with their hands, very proud. At this time, Sun Zhenniang sent someone over and asked them to go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and have the New Year's Eve dinner. When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Xu Junwen looked at the ice lanterns in the hands of Baozi and others, and said arrogantly: "Give me one to play with."

Baozi and others ignored him, Xu Junwen sat on the ground and cried, "Mom, mom, I want an ice lamp, I want an ice lamp."

While asking the wet nurse to pick up Xu Junwen, Qin said to Chen Danxia: "Three brothers and sisters, look, the child likes this ice lamp. Can you let one of the buns come out for margarine?"

"Why?" Chen Danxia asked calmly. Not to mention other things, in terms of age, Baozi and others are smaller than Xu Junwen, and there is no smaller one to make the bigger one.

Qin Shi's smile froze slightly and said, "Three brothers and sisters, just an ice lamp..."

"A gentleman does not take advantage of others, not to mention that they only have an ice lamp for Baozi, so it is impossible to give it to Wen'er." Chen Danxia interrupted her. She couldn't control how Qin's spoiled Xu Junwen, but she would not spoil her, and she wanted to spoil her son.

Qin hit a wall at Shen Danxia, ​​so he could only turn around to coax Xu Junwen; Xu Junwen ignored him and cried loudly. Xu Lang said coldly: "Get out." How can the ancestral hall allow the juniors to cry here?

"Third brother, a child is ignorant, just coax it, just coax it." Xu Yi worked hard for so long, and only such a son was loved by him.

"Take him away together." Xu Lang said mercilessly.

Xu Yi's face looked a little ugly, "Third brother."

"If you don't want the clan to be removed, don't let me say the fourth time. Get out of the ancestral hall right now." Xu Lang pointed to the door and said.

Xu Yi didn't dare to say anything more, and took the people from his room to leave the ancestral hall in shame. After worshiping the ancestors, Xu Lang still asked the people from Xu Yi to come in for the New Year's Eve dinner. Xu Junwen looked at the ice lanterns in the hands of Baozi and the others, with hatred.
