The sad reminder of the science man

Xue's father and Xue's mother went to Beijing, but Xue Jia and Xue Hao's brothers and sisters would not leave without making a sound.Xue's father and Xue's mother came to the door to thank them, and at the same time offered generous gifts. The Jia's family also held a banquet, and the two families were in harmony.After coming out of Jia's house, Father Xue and Mother Xue took Xue Jia and the others to Wang's house and Cheng's mansion early in the morning to express their thanks.

The Xue family’s old house in the capital has been remodeled since Xue Jia and the others first came to the capital. After these few years, no matter what, it should be fine, not to mention that the three brothers and sisters of the Xue family are all in the capital, and there are loyal old servants. This Xue family’s house is beautifully repaired Beautiful.In the past few years, Xue Hao sometimes stayed in the Wang family and Jia's family because they were bored, and she would stay in the Xue family's house for a few days. This time she really returned to her own home. One can imagine that she is in a good mood.

The Xue family's old house is located in the northwest corner of the capital. Although this area is not where those aristocratic families and court officials live, it is not suitable for ordinary people to live in. At least officials of the fourth rank or above can live here. The Xue family can have a house here because of this. The old house of the Xue family was rewarded by the Taizu back then, but because the Xue family was based in the south of the Yangtze River, the Xue family did not live in the capital for many years, so it was vacant. But after all, it was a reward from the Taizu, and the Xue family was not short of money. Just keep it.And after so many years, the Xue family's old house has been expanded and doubled in size from the beginning.

The Xue family's old house was originally the residence of a number one scholar in the previous dynasty. It was full of books and belonged to that small and exquisite type. Later, when it was expanded, the Xue family built the house into a Jiangnan garden style on the basis of the original, which is different from the luxurious style of the capital. It is a unique scene.

Gardens in the south of the Yangtze River pay attention to gardening, just like composing poems and essays, which must make the twists and turns follow the law and echo back and forth.The focus is on the pursuit of poetic beauty. In addition to adopting the method of "many scenic spots, mountains and forests close at hand", they often use inscriptions on plaques to break the title, which helps to inspire people's associations and strengthen their appeal.The Grand View Garden is like this, but the Xue family's old house is different.

Because of the size limitation, Xue’s house has a lot of strange stones and rockeries, but there is no place to build important water in the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River; in addition, although it is located in the north, some trees in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be grown in the capital city, but because it is located in the center of the country, rare plants are also available. Not without it, and the Xue family was willing to spend money. Later, the Xue family built a few special yards, such as collecting more than 2 different kinds of plum gardens, or planting a yard of maple trees and maple gardens, etc. There are also other gardens such as the Peony Garden and the Quiet and Elegant Bamboo Garden, which add up to a total of four gardens, each with its own style.

As soon as they returned to Xue's house, Xue Jia and Xue Hao couldn't help it. Jia's house was hindered by others, so it was difficult to show it. These two days have been busy again, and they have no time to spare, but now they are all back to themselves. Home, the Xue family will no longer suppress their feelings.

Father Xue waved his servants to prepare dinner, and there were only four of them in the hall.At this moment, Xue Hao couldn't bear it any longer, and jumped on Xue's mother, "Father, Mother, I miss you so much, why did it take you so long to come?"

Xue's mother hugged Xue Hao and said repeatedly, "Good girl, mother misses you too, isn't mother here?" Said mother and daughter hugging each other and crying.

Xue Jia was also very excited when standing aside, but he is not young now, and he and Xue Hao have only been in the capital for the past year, so he has to grow up, so although he is also very excited to see his parents, but in the end Still resisting the urge to shed tears, she just walked to Xue's father and looked at Xue's father and Xue mother with dependent eyes.

Xue's father looked at his mother and his mother crying together, and Xue Chi was also looking at him. Although Xue's father was quite old, thinking of the separation in the past few years, he felt very sad, so he patted Xue Chi on the shoulder, " Chi'er has grown so big, I remember that you only reached my chest when you left Jinling, and in a blink of an eye you were almost as tall as Dad."

Xue Chi has liked Father Xue since he was a child. Father and son haven't seen each other for nearly four years. Although they keep communicating with each other, they haven't seen each other for a long time. Seeing that his father has finally entered Beijing, Xue Chi is so beautiful in his heart. He is finally not alone. In the past year, Xue Zhi has experienced a lot and has grown a lot, but now that he has a reliance, Xue Zhi really feels great, and he blurted out the word "Dad".

Father Xue looked at excited Xue Chi, then looked at Xue mother Xue Hao who was crying into a ball, and then thought of Xue Pan with his uncle Wang Ziteng, this is the family, for them, Xue father is willing to do anything, looking at Xue Chi beautiful There was still a hint of childishness on his face, Xue Pan hurriedly said to Xue Jia, "Don't be like this, you are such an adult, and you still act like this, and you are not afraid of your mother and sister making jokes. Aren't your mother and I getting along well?"

Xue Jia was embarrassed by Xue's father, looked at Xue's mother, Xue Hao, and found that they were still crying, "Father, didn't I miss you?"

Father Xue looked at Xue Jia and said nothing. At this time, Mother Xue stopped crying. Mother Xue waved to Xue Jia. mother.

Xue's mother saw Xue Chi coming, and pulled him, "Master, Chi'er suffered a lot. You can see that he was fat and white when he was a child, but now you look at him, but he is really thin. I can touch the bones." Is it because the capital has been wronged? Tell your mother about it.”

Xue Chi touched himself and looked up at Mother Xue, "Mother, is there any? I don't think so! Maybe I'm growing taller, and I'm pulling a stick! I've grown two inches this year."

Mother Xue pulled Xue Jia away to see that she had grown taller, but she still said, "It's a lot taller, but it's still thinner. Didn't we send the cook here? Why are you still thinner? Mother Bring the rest of the cooks to Beijing to make up for you."

Xue Jia was embarrassed when he heard this, thinking that because of his greed, he insisted on asking his father to open a restaurant in Beijing. Although he knew that Xue's mother said this because he felt sorry for him, Xue Jia still thought it was a joke, "Mother, no need. I'm not Child, I have grown up."

Mother Xue looked at Xue Chi with a smile, "Yes, we Chi'er are old enough to marry a wife! Mother will definitely marry us Chi'er a handsome wife."

This time Xue Chi was really embarrassed, "Mom, I'm still young, and besides, I have an older brother!"

Xue's father heard Xue's mother mention it, and he also thought that Xue Pan and Xue Jia were 13 years old, and even Xue Hao was [-] years old. "What's so young? You and Pan'er are twins, and you're sixteen years old. If you don't get married now, when do you want to wait?" Speaking of this, what did Xue's father think of, and said to Xue's mother, "Ma'am, this Pan'er Leaving aside the marriage of Chi'er and Chi'er for the time being, now that we first came to the capital, we don't know the form yet. Let's not talk about whether we can find the right one now. The choice should be wide.”

When Xue's mother heard this, although Xue's father never said it, she somehow knew that her family was not an ordinary businessman. Otherwise, although she was not very favored back then, she was a young lady of the Earl's family. How could she marry into a mere businessman?At this time, I heard Father Xue say this, and it was right to think about it, so I immediately said that to Xue Chi and pressed it down, "Got it, master. But master, it's more important. And when will this Pan'er come back?" After all, Pan'er is better than Chi'er, Chi'er is not easy to rank ahead of Pan'er."

Father Xue thought about it, so he nodded to Mother Xue, "Ma'am, think about it, I will write to my uncle later. Uncle finds out that he is Teacher Pan'er after all, and Pan'er follows him, maybe he already has some ideas Maybe. And I will also find an opportunity to ask Chenggong for his opinion."

Mother Xue knew that this important marriage matter had a great impact, and she also understood Father Xue's consideration, "Let's do it according to what the master said! We just came to the capital these few days and we have no time to spare. It's not too late to think about it when we are free, good Paner He and Chi'er are boys, but if it's a girl, we can't wait."

Father Xue nodded, agreeing with Mother Xue's opinion, "Madam is right. I will pay attention." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xue Jia and Xue Hao lovingly, "Zha'er, Hao'er, you did not disappoint our mother. We didn't grow up around us, but you all grew up very well, too."

Xue Jia and Xue Hao were so obviously praised by Xue's father, they suddenly became a little shy, Xue Jia scratched his head, and Xue Hao leaned on Xue's mother, "Mother."

Father Xue is not used to saying these things, but for so many years leaving the children alone in the capital, Father Xue feels sorry for them, and these years, Father Xue himself has lived in fear, although it is not shocking at every step, but he said A word of trepidation is still ok.Now that Father Xue has finally successfully completed the task, escaped from the quagmire of Jiangnan, and even the Xue family can go up to a higher level, which makes Father Xue feel at ease, and is no longer as nervous as Jiangnan.

Father Xue took a deep breath and suppressed the thoughts in his heart. He knew that it was not the time to relax. They all said that the last step is the most important step after a long journey. Come out, father Xue will not let down any vigilance.Thinking of Father Xue watching the conversation with the three mother and son, he made up his mind that the Xue family must be their solid backing, "Look at your three mothers, why are you acting like this, there will be time in the future, and I don't think there is time now. Morning, it's dinner time, children, you should be hungry too."

Xue's mother wiped the corners of her eyes, helped Xue Jia straighten her clothes, then took Xue Hao and held Xue Hao's hand tightly, "Well, the concubine made the master laugh, so I'll pass it on to others, speaking of it Our family hasn’t eaten together for a long time, and today I’m sure the master will be able to eat one more bowl than usual.”

Father Xue looked at Mother Xue and found that his wife had lost a lot of weight in the past few years. He sighed in his heart, but still smiled and said, "Madam said yes, madam, let's set the meal!" Walk.

Xue's mother nodded, and then followed Xue's father to take Xue Jia and Xue Hao to the dining room, and the family had a happy half-reunion dinner.
