Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

Several boys from the Bai family held turtledoves in their hands and ran in happily. They saw their father and elder brother standing outside the main house and turned their heads to look at them. Just as they were about to rush over, the leading boy suddenly slowed down. , and finally stopped in the middle of the yard.The younger brothers also stopped, followed the second brother's line of sight, and were also stunned.

The elder brother who hadn't seen him for more than a month, was dressed very nicely, but his face was usually expressionless, but now his eyes were red, and the father standing beside him was full of tears.

What's going on here?

After being at a loss for a while, the young man immediately cast his blaming eyes on the main house.

Father Bai and Xia Yue in the main house got up and walked out when they heard their voices. Father Bai has already wiped away his tears to face his child, trying to block the boy's suddenly unfriendly sight.It's just that Xia Yue still noticed it.

Xia Yue was a little confused, so when he came out, Daddy Bai had already walked into the courtyard with his back turned to him, he couldn't figure out why his brother-in-law's eyes were blaming.

"Yi Ao, you are back?" Daddy Bai was very happy in his heart, and he showed a big smile to his sons regardless of the corners of his eyes were still wet.

"Well, I'm back." The boy nodded, looked at his father's smile and was puzzled. Seeing his father walking over, he raised the prey he was carrying in his hand, "Father, look, I have caught three turtledoves. Yile has two, and each of the younger brothers also has one."

That is to say, if a nine-year-old boy can hunt a turtledove, his brother's help must be indispensable, Father Bai knows it very well.But seeing that the youngest son happily held up the one in his hand and showed it to himself, he naturally wouldn't expose it, but just praised his sons for their abilities with a smile.

Father Bai turned around and apologized to Xia Yue, saying that he would go to the kitchen to help prepare some dinner, and then led his sons to the kitchen to finish the turtledove.

The boy didn't follow, but stood still and looked at Papa Bai.Daddy Bai originally wanted to go to the kitchen, but when he saw his second son not moving, he turned to him and asked, "What's wrong with Yi Ao?"

"Daddy," the young man's voice was clear and unscrupulous, "Is brother-in-law bullying you and brother?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Bai Daddy, Xia Yue and Shi Yan who were standing at the door of the main house were also stunned.

It was only then that Xia Yue realized that Shiyan was standing by the door, his eyes were red, and when he thought of the eyes of the young man just now, and what he said to Father Bai before, he also guessed what was going on.

Daddy Bai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled when he realized it, pinched his son's cheek, and led him to the kitchen: "Silly boy, let's go, let's go and get rid of the turtledoves you brought."

The boy wanted to say something, but was pulled away by his father.Here Xia Yue walked up to Shiyan, showing a loving smile.

Shi Yan was still a little dazed, and suddenly felt her face was gently held up by a hand, and when she looked up, it was her husband who was looking at her with a smile.

"Shiyan heard?"

Hearing Xia Yue's question, Shi Yan blinked, and finally felt that the mind that had been wandering for a while returned to him. He nodded, his eyes wandered, and he was afraid to look at Xia Yue.

"I'm sorry, Shiyan." Seeing Shiyan's eyes freeze suddenly when he heard this apology, Xia Yue, who knew he was nervous, laughed out loud, and rubbed his cheek with the pulp of his thumb, "Don't think about it. I want to Said, sorry, you are the only one in this life, such a promise should be told to you first."

Only then did Shiyan look at her husband, blankly.

"I should have told you first, but just now when my father-in-law mentioned Nashilang, I was anxious, so I said it."

Shiyan felt very surprised, anxious?The Xia Yue he has seen has always had a gentle and calm attitude, confident and elegant in his speech and demeanor, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and so stable that it makes people heartbroken. How could such a Xia Yue be in a hurry?

"Of course I'm in a hurry." Xia Yue roughly guessed what he was thinking, and stretched out his hand to scratch his nose. "Father-in-law wants me to promise that I won't treat you coldly if I take the servant. I can't just nod. Nod him." I won't be more at ease in my heart. Besides, I really don't plan to take any servant. In order not to let my father-in-law think that I plan to take it again, of course I have to express my opinion in a hurry."

"Master, are you serious? I... I don't have such extravagant expectations. If Xianggong wants to take the servant, Shiyan won't have any dissatisfaction."

Although he knew that Xia Yue's words had already been spoken and naturally there would be no changes, Shi Yan couldn't believe it.He never thought that Xia Yue would not take the servant, in his imagination, the only difference was how many he took.Since he was a child, he had no expectations of his own fate. Unless he was from a poor family, how could he dare to expect his husband to be single-minded?

"But, I really don't want to take it," Xia Yue put his arms around Shiyan's waist, looked at him with a doting face, "Shiyan, I really only want you alone, I don't need any servants. I just want to be with you You grow old together and spend this life together. Isn’t that good? Shiyan doesn’t want to?”

"Why don't you want to?" Shiyan hurriedly shook her head vigorously, paused for a while, but then said, "But, but, father-in-law and father-in-law, as well as grandfather and grandfather, won't they object?"

"Why do you object?" Xia Yue asked him, "What are the benefits of taking the servant? Open branches and leaves?"

Shi Yan nodded.

"Then my father, your father-in-law, didn't he take it?"

Xia Yue said with a smile, Shi Yan was at a loss for words when she thought of the story about her father-in-law and father-in-law told by her father.

After thinking for a while, Shiyan hesitated and said, "But father-in-law mentioned it to me... When you pick up your servant in the future, please tell me not to be too sad..."

On the day Xia Yue woke up, Father Yun came to look for Shi Yan and told him that Xia Yue woke up, he would not be a widow, and the Yun family would definitely recognize him as his rightful husband.It's just that after all, it is a marriage decided by the family without authorization. If Xia Yue takes the servant again in the future, it may be inevitable that Shiyan will be treated coldly. Daddy Yun hopes that Shiyan will be mentally prepared and not be too sad. Shiyan will not be bullied.

"Stupid Yan," Xia Yue's voice was low and soft as he kissed his forehead, "Daddy means that if I have other lovers I like in the future, I will take them to be servants. Because they think that you and I have nothing to do with each other." I am afraid that if you choose a husband like this, I will be unhappy."

Seeing Shiyan staring at him without blinking, Xia Yue felt that it was really painful, and couldn't help but kissed again, before continuing, "So, it's completely unnecessary."

Shi Yan was taken aback.

"I mean, now that I have Shiyan, I don't need to take the servant anymore." Xia Yue smiled and looked at Shiyan intently.

After Shi Yan realized it, her body trembled. There was not a word of love in Xia Yue's words, nor did she mention whether she liked it or not, but in Shi Yan's ears, it was more touching than any words of love.

His eye sockets began to flush slightly again, and he felt like he was in a dream, why was it so unreal.Or maybe, he has been in a dream for more than a month?Being able to marry the young master of the Yun family, being accepted and loved by him, and now hearing him say that he is the only one in this life, Shi Yan feels overwhelmed with happiness.

Xia Yue rubbed his lips against Shiyan's temples, interrupting his emotion: "Where is Shiyan? What do you think of me? Would you like to spend this life with me?"

It was Shi Yan who answered Xia Yue fiercely and hugged his hands back.

Where Shi Yan couldn't see, Xia Yue showed a big smile. This was probably the happiest smile he ever had when he came to Luo Yue.

Snow fell in the sky at some point, and the couple hugged each other quietly by the door of the main house, not noticing that the snow was gradually accumulating.Until the child's exclamation reached my ears.

"It's snowing!" The young official of the Bai family rushed out of the kitchen, happily kicking the thin snow on the ground.

The youngest son and the twins pestered the third brother to take them to play in the snow in the big yard next to it. There was a drying yard over there.

The third son was only 11 years old, and couldn't resist the temptation to play, so he was a little moved.But it seems that I am not at ease looking at the younger brothers by myself, and the second brother has to help father and father in the kitchen.

The little head looked around for a while, and the young boy ran to the husband and wife who had already let go of each other's arms, raised his head and said to them: "Brother, brother, come with us to play in the snow."

Xia Yue bent down and touched the little boy's head, and responded with a smile: "Okay, you go and tell father and dad first, and then we go together."

The little boy nodded happily, and ran to the kitchen again.

"I don't know the names of your brothers yet." Xia Yue turned to look at Shi Yan.

"The one just now is Yi Le, the two twins, the one with a mole on the corner of his eye is Qi Xi, the one without a mole is Qi Yu, and the youngest one is You Si."

Xia Yue secretly wrote it down, and asked again: "Where is the one who said I bullied you?"

Shi Yan glanced at him with some embarrassment, and said, "Second brother is called Yi Ao. He doesn't know the matter, and he doesn't mean anything malicious."

"I know," Xia Yue smiled to comfort the anxious Fu Lang, "He is a good brother who knows how to protect father and brother."

Father Bai and Daddy Bai didn't seem to agree immediately, Yile entered the kitchen and hasn't come out yet.Xia Yue looked at the three little dolls who were kicking snow at the door of the kitchen, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a wicked smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"Fulang," he leaned into Shiyan's ear and whispered, "Earlier when you talked about spreading branches and leaves, the Yun family only has me as an official, and I only have you as husband, so treat your husband in good health." Now, this important task will be handed over to you."

Shi Yan felt as if his face was burning, he looked at his husband a little helplessly, he didn't understand why Xia Yue said such words suddenly, he was still outside, and his younger brother was not far away.

Xia Yue was happy, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "It's as red as an apple. Recently, Shiyan blushes easily. This is a good sign. In order to let Shiyan show more expressions, it seems that I will have to talk more as a husband in the future." Such words are."

Shi Yan was so ashamed, and didn't know what to say, she could only turn her eyes away from him, and let him laugh with his shoulders trembling.

Fortunately, at this time Yi Le finally got his father's consent, ran out of the kitchen, and beckoned his brother and brother-in-law to leave quickly, which was considered to have saved him.

The younger brothers took their elder brother and brother-in-law to play, and the father also went out of the kitchen to chop firewood in the yard. Yi Ao plucked the turtledove in the kitchen, looked at his father outside the door, and then at his busy back. He hesitated to speak.

"Daddy," he said after a while, "Brother really didn't bully you?"

Daddy Bai looked back at his stubborn second son: "Of course not."

"But, daddy, you're crying, and brother's eyes are red." The young man looked straight at his daddy, with a posture of not giving up until he asked the truth.Unlike his younger brothers, he forgot about this matter when he was distracted. If he didn't ask clearly, he would always have a thorn in his heart.

Facing Yi Ao's stubborn eyes, Daddy Bai thought about it and smiled.It's a good thing for a son to be so sensible and to protect his elder brother so much, isn't it?What's more, the thing that made me cry is a great thing that I can't wait to show off to others. There is no need to hide it from my son.

"Daddy is happy to cry." Daddy Bai said.

"Happy?"

"That's right, because your brother-in-law said that he won't take the servant, and only your brother will be the only one in this life." When Daddy Bai said this, his face was full of joy.

Yi Ao was stunned, and after a while he said: "Does he have a hidden disease?"

Daddy Bai paused while washing the vegetables, then turned around and gave his son a brainstorm.

"What are you thinking, how can you talk nonsense like this."

"Didn't he get seriously ill before? I thought..." The weather was cold, and Daddy Bai's hands were heavy, Yi Ao's head hurt, but his hands were plucking turtledove feathers, they were dirty, and he couldn't touch his sore spot, let him Feeling even more aggrieved, "Then why didn't he take the servant?"

Yi Ao didn't think that the young master of the Yun family would be emotional with his brother.Originally, they didn't know each other before, they got married for the sake of joy, and married their elder brother because of morality, everyone thought that he would definitely marry the servant.If it were me, I would be very upset if my father forced a husband whom I hadn't met to come over. Yi Ao thought it was good that Xia Yue didn't treat his brother coldly, and he never thought that he would like Shang Shi Yan.

That's why when he saw his father's tears and his brother's red eyes, he directly thought that Xia Yue had done something bad and made them cry.At this time, Yi Ao was very dissatisfied with Xia Yue in his heart, and there was also a bad impression caused by the jealous gossip of other officials in the school, and even Yun Xiayue's refusal to inherit the wine store. In Ao's heart, he is full of signs of irresponsibility and disfilial piety.

But after Dad talked about Shiyan's life for a month, and told him what he heard outside the main house, all the dissatisfaction in Yi Ao's heart disappeared without a trace.It turned out that his brother-in-law was really as everyone said, he was a gentle, polite, considerate and thoughtful gentleman, and he didn't have any nasty things like those classmates in the school.Moreover, he really likes his brother and is really good to him.

Yi Ao was so happy that he forgot to continue working, and only pestered his father to ask him to continue talking.Daddy Bai looked at his second son's eyes full of admiration, he had long since disappeared the dissatisfaction and hostility just now, shook his head with a smile, and then gave the gift list for the homecoming ceremony, and Xia Yue took over Xi Jiuzui again, and also decided to inherit the wine storage told my son.

Hearing that Xia Yue planned to inherit the wine store, the boy Yi Ao's heart moved.Afterwards, he started to think while working.

It was already noon when I took my younger brothers to play, and the farmer only ate two meals, so I basically didn’t use lunch, or I went to the field with a dry ration in my arms, and gnawed it off during the rest.Knowing this, Xia Yue brought two boxes of snacks and asked the dolls to eat when they were tired from playing.

The exquisite dim sum made the children afraid to start. Xia Yue smiled and picked up one by one and brought them to their mouths. Yi Le took a bite first and then narrowed his eyes with a smile.Seeing how delicious the third brother was eating, the younger brothers on the side couldn't help themselves. At first they obediently accepted the feeding from brother-in-law and brother-in-law, but then they simply forgot to be polite and ate happily with each hand.

In the afternoon, the children got tired of rolling and smashing snowballs in the snow, so Xia Yue taught them how to make snowmen. The children became interested and learned quickly.Later, nine snowmen of different sizes were piled up on the drying yard.

Qi Xihe and Qi Yu pulled Xia Yue to look, pointed to one of them and said, "Brother, this is you."

Xia Yue looked at the snowman with a crooked neck, smiled happily, picked up the twins one by one, kissed them on each cheek, and praised them for doing a great job, they were very similar.

Qi Qiqiu laughed until his face turned red, hugging Xia Yue's neck and sticking it up.

Shi Yan watched him getting along well with her younger brother, and liked the way the child looked. Thinking of what Xia Yue said to her before, she couldn't help but feel hot again.Yi Le asked him why he was blushing, and he had no choice but to say that it was the wind.

Next, Xia Yue squeezed snow bunnies for the dolls, and saw how they held them carefully in their hands, and couldn't put it down.

A few people played until Daddy Bai called from the next door, beckoning them to go back for dinner.

This meal in the evening was regarded as a door-to-door banquet, Xia Yue took the seat, Father Bai sat on the left side with him, Shi Yan was on the right side, and Daddy Bai sat on the left side of Father Bai.Luo Yue's homecoming banquet didn't have any complicated rules, it was actually a meal together.

The meals were carefully prepared by Daddy Bai. Although they were not exquisite, the strong taste of home cooking made Xia Yue very happy.There was also a special dish on the table, which used the turtledoves that the officials of the Bai family went to hunt today.After plucking the feathers of the turtledove, remove the viscera, head and feet, blanch it, mix it with salt and flour, fry it first and then fry it, then cook it in sake, add the special rice wine made by Baijia, season it and simmer for a while, then add other fried rice Thicken the side dishes with cornstarch, pour sesame oil on the plate, and it is a wine-stuffed turtledove.

The fermented turtledove made by Daddy Bai is tender and tender, with a strong aroma of fermented fermented rice. It is paired with fine wine from the Yun family, which makes the family very happy.

After drinking and eating, Shi Yan helped Father Bai to clean up the dishes, Xia Yue stayed in the main house and continued to drink and chat with Father Bai in the evening, while the children went to share the gifts Xia Yue brought to them. Yi Ao's toys attracted his attention, and Yi Ao held those brand new books by the side and did not let go, wishing he could read them right away.

This day was to stay overnight at Bai's house, the coachman and servants were sent back to Yun's house early in the morning, and they only told the time when the coachman would come to pick him up tomorrow morning.

When returning home to stay overnight, the new husband and wife are not allowed to share the same room, Shi Yan still sleeps in her original room, and Xia Yue is arranged to share the same room with Yi Ao and Yi Le.Because there are too many children and not enough houses, except for Shiyan and Qingwan who have their own room, the younger brothers all squeeze the other two rooms together.Daddy Bai came to explain the situation to Xia Yue apologetically, Xia Yue smiled and said that he didn't mind at all.

Farmhouses in winter are really idle, and most of them lie down early and go to sleep.Shi Yan helped coax the younger brothers who were addicted to new toys to sleep, and when they returned to the room, they saw Xia Yue waiting at the door.

"Why is Mr. Xiang here?"

Xia Yue beckoned him to come forward, smiled and kissed him: "It's the first time I sleep in a separate room, I want to come to see you, otherwise what if I can't sleep."

At night, I couldn't see whether Shiyan's cheeks and earlobes were red, but Xia Yue knew that he was still a little embarrassed.Kissing him again, Xia Yue touched Shiyan's cheek and said: "Rest early, and I will go back early tomorrow morning. I will accompany you back more often when I am free in the future."

There was a warm feeling in Shiyan's heart, she obviously didn't say anything, but her husband always thought of everything for her thoughtfully.

Kan Shiyan nodded obediently, Xia Yue pressed a kiss on his forehead, and asked him to go back to the room, watched him close the door before walking to the next room by himself.
