On the second day after their wedding, Luo Shaoqing and Xue Chengyi got up early to serve tea to Master Xue, and Xu Lang should also serve a cup of tea to Master Xue out of courtesy.

But marrying two men is already a violation of etiquette, and it is not easy to welcome Xu Lang into the house, and serving tea to Mr. Xue is not a sincere embarrassment, it is better not to go.

But Xue Chengyu insisted on pulling Xu Lang to serve tea to Master Xue, and Xu Lang brought the tea to Master Xue, his hand shaking while holding the tea.

"Father, please drink tea."

Master Xue picked up the teacup with a smile, opened the lid and blew on it, and took two sips of the tea that Xu Hong handed over.

Master Xue helped Xu Hong up after drinking tea, and said: "Xiao Hong has entered our Xue family and is our Xue family. No matter what happens in the future, the Xue family will protect you. You and Yu'er have had a bumpy journey. I can't help you, I can only get the protection of my ancestors, I hope you can live forever."

Xu Lang understands Master Xue's helplessness, it is common for people like them not to be accepted by the world.

Even if the south wind is prevailing, it can't be worth the mouths of the world, and it is a good thing for them to survive in the cracks.

"Please don't worry, Dad, I will do my best to take good care of Cheng Yu."

Master Xue nodded trustingly, and looked at Xue Chengyu, "What about you?"

Xue Chengyu raised his eyebrows, took the tea brought by Uncle Fu, bent down and served Master Xue respectfully, "Father, you drink tea."

Master Xue took the tea and blew on it, still drank a couple of sips, and said: "This is the way it looks, from now on you will support each other and walk on the path you choose."

Xue Chengyu and Xu Lang looked at each other with a smile, bowed together to Master Xue, and said, "Thank you for your success."

Master Xue didn't mind the two children calling him father together. Xu Hong treated his son as well as he could. The great kindness seems to be that there is no other good way to repay it except accepting Xu Lang.What's more, Xu Hong's life experience is pitiful, and only by accepting Xu Hong can he suffer less.

"You two go back if you have nothing to do. I, a widowed old man, won't disturb the four of you's little days."

"That kid has left." After speaking, Xue Chengyu led Xu Lang out of the room, turned around and returned to his yard.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Xue Chengyu asked Xu Lang to sit on the stone bench outside the courtyard. Xu Lang wanted to ask Xue Chengyu what he was going to do, but saw Xue Chengyu put his fingers between his lips to silence him, and then blindfolded him with a black cloth. On, pretending to be mysterious and not letting him know.

Xu Lang touched the black cloth on his eyes, curled his lips, and asked, "Did Cheng Yu prepare something so mysterious for me?"

Xue Chengyu brushed off Xu Lang's hand, put Xu Lang's hand on his lap neatly, and said in a mysterious way: "Xiao Hong can just wait for me to take it out. Before I take it out, Xiao Hong don't want to peek, Xiao Hong. Please be obedient and don't lie to me."

Xu Lang nodded obediently, and just sat there waiting for Xue Chengyu to come back.Seeing that Xu Hong was so obedient, Xue Chengyu didn't want to quarrel with him anymore, turned around and went back to the room to take out the jade pendant that had been carved for a long time.

It took half a month from the Kunlun jade stone to the completion of Xue Chengyu. During this period, Xu Hong was busy preparing for Xue Chengyi's wedding and did not care about Xue Chengyu's daily life, let alone seeing whether Xue Chengyu was carving stones.

Xue Chengyu originally planned to give it to Xu Lang on his birthday, but Xu Lang never asked for a birthday in the four years since he came to Xue's house. It seemed a bit abrupt to celebrate his birthday suddenly this time.

He once remembered that Xu Lang said that he rarely celebrated his birthday when he was in his hometown. After all, he was a child of a poor family. If he wanted to eat meat, he had to wait until the Chinese New Year. Pay attention, there are fewer chances to celebrate your birthday.

"Chengyu! Are you alright?" Xu Hong asked softly.

"Here we come." Xue Chengyu put the carved jade pendant in Xu Lang's hand, "Touch and see first."

Xu Lang touched the thing in his hand, it was cold to the touch, and the lines on it were very clear.

But that thing doesn't feel like a regular shape.There are two ropes tied to the top and bottom of the jade tablet, and tassels are tied to the short rope below.

"Is it the jade pendant mentioned earlier?" Xu Lang asked tentatively.

"It's a jade pendant, have you figured out what is engraved on it?"

Xu Lang carefully touched the lines on it again. After touching the front and the back, he couldn't find anything after touching for a long time. He could only shake his head and replied, "Forgive me for being too stupid... I didn't find it..."

Xue Chengyu smiled and took off the cloth strips covering his eyes, pinched Xu Lang's small face, and said, "Look for yourself, I'm sure you like it."

Xu Lang lowered his head and picked up the jade pendant for a closer look, only to find that the ugly rough stone had become extremely exquisite now.

The front of the jade pendant is engraved with a clay sculpture of a dragon bought back in the early years. In order to prevent the original cracks on the jade from affecting the jade pendant, Xue Chengyu ingeniously used the direction of the cracks to depict the appearance of the dragon's back.

On the back of the jade pendant, there is the character "暗" engraved in a thin gold body, and the characters are also painted with red paint to ensure that the color will not fade over the years.

"When did you engrave this? Isn't it a pair?"

"Recently, you are too busy to look at me. You don't care about my daily life. You will see me carving things. That piece of jade is cut into two pieces of jade carving, and mine is the same as yours, just The words on the back are just different."

Xu Lang stretched out his hand in front of Xue Chengyu, pouted, and said, "Then show me yours."

Xue Chengyu untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xu Lang.

Xu Lang took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it. It was exactly the same as his own. The same crack was the back of the dragon and the red writing.

The exquisiteness of the jade pendant is comparable to that of a master-level sculptor. This kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can see.

Xue Chengyu pinned Xu Lang's jade pendant to Xu Lang's waist, stroked the coiled dragon on the jade pendant, and said seriously: "The double dragon jade pendant carries the hopes of both of you and me, and I hope we can rely on this jade pendant no matter in this life or in the next life." Find each other for Yupei."

"I hope God can hear our wishes and bless us to live a long life."

Xue Chengyu smiled slightly as he watched Xu Lang pin the jade pendant on him, held Xu Lang's hand, and said, "God will."

In the next six months, Xu Lang's luck improved a lot. Maybe the old locust tree in the monastery heard their prayers and sent them up to heaven, and God took pity on their situation and didn't embarrass them anymore.

Xue Chengyu's physical condition has improved, and Xu Lang's work in the medical clinic can be regarded as handy, with few major problems.

And Xue Chengyi and Luo Shaoqing were also diagnosed as happy three months after their marriage. The only boy who was once only wanted to become the father of a child. This kind of thing is exciting to think about.

Xue Chengyi also restrained many of his child-like tempers from the day of his marriage, becoming more and more like a man who is about to grow up, his personality has matured a lot, and he is no longer like a child who blatantly blatantly ignorant.

As the days went by, Luo Shaoqing's belly gradually became apparent, and the reactions caused by her pregnancy became more and more serious, and she often got up early in the morning to vomit.

Since Luo Shaoqing was pregnant for the first time, Xue Chengyi took care of her meticulously. Basically, he helped Luo Shaoqing walk around the yard every day. She can sleep more peacefully.

Xue Chengyu and Xu Wei are also excited that the Xue family is about to welcome their first child, after all, the two of them can't have children...

Unable to carry on the family line, I only hope that Xue Chengyi and Luo Shaoqing can have a few more children so that the descendants of the Xue family will not wither.

The entire Xue family is happy because Luo Shaoqing is pregnant, and Master Xue is also very happy because he is about to become a grandfather.

Master Xue is getting old and doesn't want to participate in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce anymore. Taking advantage of Luo Shaoqing's joy, he handed over the remaining seals of Xue's family and the seal of the Chamber of Commerce to Xue Chengyi, and let the two brothers take charge of the Xue family together. Master Xue retreated to the second line. At home preparing to hold grandson.

In order to stabilize Luo Shaoqing's fetal image, Xue Chengyu prescribed several anti-fetal drugs, and Luo Shaoqing's early reaction after drinking it was indeed much smaller.

After a while, Luo Shaoqing suddenly wanted to eat sour food, Xue Chengyi doted on his wife and asked the kitchen to cook some dishes to her liking and bought some sour plums to satisfy her craving.

Seeing Luo Shaoqing's appearance, Xue Chengyu always felt that she was pregnant with a boy, a sour girl, of course, this is just a common saying, and there is no accurate medical basis.

"Cheng Yu, do you think Second Young Mistress is pregnant with a boy or a girl?" Xu Lang asked casually.

Xue Chengyu put down the carving knife in his hand, and took a brush to clean up the debris on the jade, "I think it's a boy, but I hope that Qingqing will have fewer twins, so that the two of them will not be too lonely."

"But Young Mistress's stomach is not that big, it doesn't look like she's going to have two..."

Xue Chengyu just smiled and didn't care, "Cheng Yi and Shao Qing still have a long time to live, don't be in a hurry for a year or two, women's pregnancy and childbirth consume a lot of energy on the body, with Cheng Yi's love for Shao Qing, he must not be willing to always let Shao Qing Tired too much."

Xue Chengyu heaved a long sigh when he mentioned this, and seemed to be talking to himself: "I hope I can live longer, and see them have children and live happily..."

"What?" Xu Hong didn't hear what Xue Chengyu said, and asked after him.

Xue Chengyu smiled wryly, shook his head and said "it's all right", then picked up the carving knife, and continued to carve the remaining half piece of jade.

Xue Chengyu was carving a jade longevity lock for his nephew whom he had never met, and he seemed unable to do other things besides carving things.

He had the same difficulties as Xu Hong in his life, and he didn't want his descendants to be like them, bringing the hopes of the predecessors to the descendants, so that they could live a good life for him.
