After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Ding Xiu and Li Xiangkang were having fun here, and Ah Da came over and called them to go home for dinner.

The Li family usually does not divide tables when eating. Today, because Ding Xiu is there, Yuan Huiniang and the others eat in their own room.

Yan Qingqing is the head of the family, and since he knows Ding Xiu, he naturally has to accompany him.

Ding Xiu's words were humorous and without the pedantry of a scholar. He could chat with anyone, and he quickly became close to the Li family.

Li Xiangkang on the side said faintly: "Originally, I have fallen out of favor at home, ranking behind my sister-in-law and Xiao Qi, but now even you are more popular than me."

Little Fatty Ding said with a smile: "We are good brothers, why do we care so much? If you come to my house another day, I will let my mother and sister entertain you warmly."

Ding Xiu's words made Li Xiangkang amused again, and then he said duplicitously: "Who wants to go to your house?"

However, Li Xiangkang still felt sorry for Ding Xiaopang's recent experience, and kept putting delicious food into his bowl while eating.

He was still mumbling: "These are all made by my mother, and we can only eat some when I go home.

Today is a real advantage for you, so hurry up and eat. Look, you've lost weight because you've been in a bad mood recently. "

The friendship between children is indeed the most innocent.

To be honest, Yan Qingqing really didn't see where Ding Xiaopang had lost weight.

This kid is very ambitious at first glance, and he is not very quick at showing off his food.

Yan Qingqing looked at him and couldn't help but think of Li Xiangjian again.

Li Xiangjian is also a big eater, and he doesn't know if he can eat enough in the military camp.

However, Yan Qingqing did not say anything to make everyone worry.

Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, Ah Si, the concierge on duty, hurried in and said, "Madam, there's a letter from the border."

Yan Qingqing was so lost in thought that she couldn't react for a moment, but Yuan Huiniang reminded her: "It must be the letter from the third brother."

Yan Qingqing pretended to be calm and took the letter from Ah Si's hand and quickly opened it.

Yan Qingqing looked at Xin with an uncontrollable smile.

Yuan Huiniang looked on and said with a smile: "My mother has always been thinking about my third brother. Now it's better. My third brother has written me a letter. My mother can finally feel relieved."

Li Xiangan also joked: "Oh, now there is one more person in front of the fourth brother."

Li Xiangkang snorted and replied: "Second brother, it's sour grapes. Third brother couldn't compete with me when he was at home. Now that he's not at home, I don't even bother to compete with him."

Li Xiangkang's words made everyone laugh again.

Li Xiangping was the most steady. He looked at Yan Qingqing and asked: "Mom, what did third brother say in the letter? But everything is fine?"

Yan Qingqing handed the letter over with a smile and said: "Okay, very good, and the third child is already promising. He has only been in the military camp for three months. First, he joined the Feiyun Cavalry because of his outstanding performance, and later he burned the enemy's food and grass and made military exploits and was promoted. For a centurion.”

Li Yueniang exclaimed from the side: "Mother, isn't the third brother an official? Mother is a fifth-rank official, and the eldest brother is an eighth-rank agricultural officer. The third brother is also a centurion."

I can walk sideways in our Chengyang County from now on. "

Yan Qingqing looked at her and smiled: "You are really getting more and more unstable as you get older.

A centurion is not an officer, but a position in the military camp, and he can lead a hundred people.

There is also a captain above, and above the captain is the ninth grade captain. "

Yan Qingqing really didn't know much about the military attaché system of the Great Yan Dynasty, he only knew a rough idea.

Li Yueniang pouted and replied: "Then the third brother has a long way to go in the future."

Li Xiangan glanced at her and said: "Your third brother is already very powerful. I heard that it is difficult to enter the Feiyunqi, okay?

Not only has he joined the Feiyun Cavalry now, he has also become a centurion, something that many people cannot do in their lifetime. "

Yan Qingqing nodded, thinking that the third child should be hiding his strength. If he showed his true ability, he would definitely achieve far more than this.

Ding Xiaopang watched the Li brothers and sisters bickering and defending each other with eyes full of envy.

He also wanted to get along well with his brother, but his brother had not liked him since he was a child.

He also called him a pig who only knows how to eat.

Just when the atmosphere in the Li family was joyful, the concierge Ah Si hurried in again and said, "Madam, the Ding family has sent someone to pick up Master Ding."

Yan Qingqing looked at Ah Si's anxious look and thought that something big might happen to the Ding family, otherwise they wouldn't have sent someone to pick them up even though they knew Ding Xiu was at their house.

However, Ding Xiaopang didn't seem to have this awareness, and replied without raising his head: "Go and tell the visitor at my house, and ask her to tell my mother that I was having fun at Brother Xiang Kang's house.

I won’t go back for the time being. Let my sister spend the holidays with her. "

It's not that he doesn't go back, but that the place where he lives now is very close to Xifeng Academy, and he goes home to eat every day.

He was really in a bad mood recently because of his parents' affairs, so he just wanted to go out and relax. He didn't want to go back.

Ah Si hesitated and said, "The person was not sent here by Mrs. Ding, but by Mr. Ding. It seems because Mrs. Ding is not well."

Ding Xiu still didn't react and refused directly: "The reason why my father kicked my mother and I out was because she was slandering us behind our backs. I don't want to go back."

Don't try to persuade others to be kind until they have suffered. This Old Mrs. Ding is probably the same as the old Mrs. Li.

I remember that in order to separate from Mrs. Li, I made a scene in the whole Canghe Village known to everyone.

Therefore, it is up to Ding Xiu to decide whether to go back or not.

Yan Qingqing said to Ah Si: "Call in the person who reported the news!"

Ah Si hesitated and said, "I'm afraid he will bump into Madam."

Yan Qingqing shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter."

Ah Si went out and called people in.

No wonder Ah Si said he was afraid that someone might bump into Yan Qingqing. This man was wearing a mourning shirt, and it looked like he was mourning.

Yan Qingqing frowned and felt a little unhappy, but after all, she was the one who called him in and it was hard to say anything.

When Ding Xiu saw the visitor, he stood up and asked in a voice: "Why are you here, Dingme? Weren't you betrayed by my father?"

This Chome is the son of Butler Ding and has always been the confidant of Ding.

When Ding Yuan went out to sell his servants, he ostensibly sold them together with Chongme.

Dingmu first greeted Yan Qingqing, and then explained to Ding Xiu: "The master did not betray me, he did it to deceive the old lady.

The specific young master can go back and ask the master.

Our old lady has gone, and the master has always been filial. So let me take the young master home for the funeral. "

Although Ding Xiu was very reluctant, Mrs. Ding was her grandmother after all, and she loved him when she was a child.

Besides, he is a scholar and his reputation is very important.

After thinking for a while, he said to Chongme: "Okay, I'll go back with you in a minute.

Please exit first. What does it look like to enter someone else's house wearing a filial piety shirt? "

After hearing this, Chome realized that his actions were inappropriate and immediately withdrew from the Li family.
