When the carriage drove into the county seat, Qu Jiyuan lifted the curtain again. When the carriage passed by the county government office, he stared at it intently. It was very quiet in front of the county government office. It was the same as seeing the inside through the courtyard, his eyes were fixed tightly, and the corner of his mouth was filled with a smile.

Although he wrote that he would come back this year, the specific date has not been set, so no one knows that he has returned today. It is a pity that he did not meet Li Yuanxiu immediately, but he wants to give Li Yuanxiu a surprise.

When the carriage arrived at Qu Mansion, the servant jumped down and slammed on the door vigorously: "Open the door! Open the door! The young master is back!!!"

The concierge quickly opened the door and took a look. Sure enough, he saw that his young master had returned. He was stunned for a moment, but he was pushed by the servant before he realized it. He said with a smile on his face, "Young master is back." Then he turned to tell the others : "Go, go and inform the master and madam!"

The servant inside responded and hurried all the way to the backyard.

Qu Jiyuan got out of the carriage and took a deep breath: I'm back.

Taking a last look at the direction of the county government, Qu Jiyuan led Xue Zhuo to the mansion, eager to see his relatives, he didn't even bother to introduce Xue Zhuo, and his pace became faster and faster.

"Brother Qu!" Suddenly a person rushed over in front of him, and his voice was heard from a long distance away. Qu Jiyuan smiled and looked at the boy who had grown up a lot.

The young man quickly ran over and threw himself into Qu Jiyuan's arms: "Brother Qu, you are finally back."

"Well, I didn't expect to see Xiaozhuang in two years. Xiaozhuang has grown so big." Qu Jiyuan looked at Li Xiaozhuang twice. Li Xiaozhuang is completely different from the skinny kid before. He has been well raised and grown up. He has grown up a lot, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of energy, and looks a lot better.

Li Xiaozhuang straightened his body a little shyly. He often stays at Qu's house now, and Mrs. Qu always said that he eats little. Shao: "My mother made it up for me."

"Hahaha, mother is like this. When I was at home before, she wished I could eat eight meals a day."

Qu Jiyuan patted Li Xiaozhuang's head, saw Xue Zhuo on the side, and said, "This is Mr. Xue from Xue Shishi's family."

"I've seen Mr. Xue."

"Xue Zhuo, this is my foster brother, Xiaozhuang." A year after Qu Jiyuan left home, Mrs. Qu made the decision to accept Li Xiaozhuang as her adopted son. Master Qu mentioned this matter in his letter, and Qu Jiyuan When he wrote back, he expressed his approval, so Li Xiaozhuang became Qu Jiyuan's brother-in-law a year ago.

"Young Master Xiaozhuang."

When Li Xiaozhuang heard Qu Jiyuan's introduction, he realized that Qu Jiyuan had brought someone back. He nodded at Xue Zhuo and was a little puzzled by Xue Zhuo's appearance. He frowned obediently and didn't ask any more questions. go.

Li Xiaozhuang was a small child two years ago, and Qu Jiyuan often hugged him around. The two of them are used to getting close, so Li Xiaozhuang just ran over to hug Qu Jiyuan, and neither of them thought there was any problem. But in Xue Zhuo's eyes, it's another matter, Qu Jiyuan is not easy to get close to everyone.

Xue Zhuo watched Li Xiaozhuang secretly from behind, and Li Xiaozhuang occasionally glanced at Xue Zhuo with the corner of his eyes, seeing Xue Zhuo's eyes were fixed on Qu Jiyuan, Li Xiaozhuang was a little worried, what does this Xue Zhuo want to do?He looked at Qu Jiyuan again, his face was full of joy and eagerness, and he didn't take care of Xue Zhuo along the way, so there should be nothing wrong.

Mr. Qu led his wife to meet him, and Mrs. Qu wiped her tears as she walked. When Qu Jiyuan saw it, he ran instead of walking to meet him.

"Father, mother, my son is back." Qu Jiyuan knelt down in front of the two of them and kowtowed three times firmly.

"Okay, it's good to be back, get up quickly and let mother take a good look." Mrs. Qu wiped her tears and stepped forward to help Qu Jiyuan up, and Qu Jiyuan looked at Master Qu.

Master Qu's eyes were also a little red. Not only is his son promising, but he is also very promising. In the past two years, he was really proud and worried about his son. Seeing his son looking at him, Master Qu said: "Get up quickly, or your mother will feel bad. broken."

"It's my son who is not filial." Qu Jiyuan stood up and helped Mrs. Qu walk to the backyard. Li Xiaozhuang also stood on the other side, wiping away tears, to support her.

Master Qu looked at the three of them, mother and son, and nodded in satisfaction. He was about to step up to follow, but was stopped by the servant. Xue Zhuo, who had been ignored all this time and felt that he was completely excluded, was remembered.

"Master, this is the young master of Governor Xue's family."

Xue Zhuo stepped forward to salute: "My nephew has seen my uncle."

"Oh! Hurry up and be polite." Master Qu stepped forward to help Xue Zhuo, then turned his head and scolded the boy: "My nephew is here, why didn't you tell me earlier! Ji Yuan, a bastard, how can he entertain guests!"

The little servant kept pleading guilty, but Xue Zhuo hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle, don't be angry, brother Qu has been away from home for a long time, so he can't take care of much when he comes home for a rare trip, not to mention that brother Qu took good care of me along the way, uncle, don't blame brother Qu. "

"Okay, okay, that's good. You are indeed a good boy taught by the governor. If there is something wrong with your hospitality, you can tell me, and I will teach him a lesson."

Master Qu led Xue Zhuo to the backyard while he was talking, and while asking Xue Zhuo some things, he thought in his heart: Qu Jiyuan, a bastard, said before he left that it was Mrs. Li, but in the end he didn't even have a shadow for two years. He brought someone back with him when he came back. What did he want to do?

The news of Qu Jiyuan's return to the mansion spread all over the county in a long time. Before that, after Li Xiaozhuang had lunch with the Qu family at Qu's house, he saw that Qu Jiyuan and Master Qu had a lot to say, so he left by himself. He went out and said he wanted to go back to the county government to get some things. Before Li Xiaozhuang left, he glanced at Xue Zhuo who was sitting in the hall. Xue Zhuo also looked up at him. , Li Xiaozhuang curled his lips, thinking that this person really has no winks, the Qu family reunited after a long absence, this person has been sitting still like a stake, which is really disgusting.

Seeing Li Xiaozhuang running away in a hurry, Qu Jiyuan was in a happy mood, and he answered all kinds of questions from Mrs. Qu.

Xue Zhuo didn't wink, he just wanted to know more about Qu Jiyuan, and he didn't know why, he just wanted to prove that he was closer to Qu Jiyuan than Li Xiaozhuang's adoptive son, but he was here, the Qu family It is indeed inconvenient to say some things. After hearing some unimportant things about Qu Jiyuan after he was in the capital, Xue Zhuo also left the hall under the pretext of going back to rest because he was tired.

When Xue Zhuo walked away, Mrs. Qu turned her eyes away, and looked at Qu Jiyuan hesitantly to speak. Seeing his mother's expression, Qu Jiyuan asked quickly: "Mother, what's wrong?"

"You... aren't you interested in Master Li?"

"Pfft!" Qu Jiyuan couldn't hold back a sip of hot tea, and he turned his head to look at Master Qu in some astonishment.

Master Qu stared at him: "Otherwise, do you think why you recognize Xiao Zhuang as an adopted son is not because of your unfilial son! Originally, I didn't want to tell your mother, but after you left, she missed you every day, so I put Having said that, it can be regarded as distracting your mother's attention, and your mother has accepted it after such a long time."

"mother……"

Mrs. Qu shook the embroidered handkerchief: "I knew the ancestral precepts as soon as I married into the Qu family. It's our turn and there is nothing to say. Mother has already recognized it. It's just, how did you bring this Mr. Xue back when you celebrate the New Year?" What? If Mr. Li knows, will he misunderstand?"

Seeing that Mrs. Qu really cared about him, Li Yuanxiu smiled and said, "I didn't think too much about it. I went to visit Governor Xue when I was passing through the county. At that time, Xue Zhuo was having trouble with Uncle Xue. I thought it was not a solution for them to make a fuss, so I brought Xue Zhuo over by the way, and enlightened him by the way, as for Mr. Li." Qu Jiyuan smiled: "I didn't think so much at first, but it's okay if I misunderstood , I'm afraid he won't misunderstand."

Mrs. Qu glanced at Master Qu, who shook his head and sighed.

Li Xiaozhuang arrived at the gate of the county government office in a carriage, and rushed in like a gust of wind. Li Yuanxiu was staying in the study as usual, looking at official documents, only to hear Li Xiaozhuang shouting outside, and hurried out of the study.

"Big brother! Big brother!"

"Why are you running so fast, slow down."

"Brother Qu is back!"

Li Yuanxiu was stunned, with a bang in his head, his body swayed a little while leaning against the wall before he stood firm and asked, "He's back? Where is he now?"

"I've gone home." Li Xiaozhuang said and followed Li Yuanxiu who was going out to go back to Qu Mansion.

Li Yuanxiu's happy steps stopped, and he just stood still. Qu Jiyuan had already returned home, which meant that he probably came back a long time ago, and passed the county government office, but he didn't stop.

"Brother, don't you want to take a look?" Li Xiaozhuang asked after walking two steps and finding Li Yuanxiu stopped behind him.

"I have no relatives or reasons with him, so forget it."

"But brother, don't you always miss brother Qu?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

After Li Yuanxiu finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the study, leaving Li Xiaozhuang stomping his feet on the spot: "Since the elder brother won't go, then forget it."

Li Xiaozhuang gritted his teeth and wanted to tell about Xue Zhuo, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, turned around and left the county office again.

Li Xiaozhuang was in a bad mood when he came back, but Qu Jiyuan didn't ask any more questions. After dinner, Qu Jiyuan took Li Xiaozhuang into the study and checked his studies.

"Your elder brother doesn't know I'm back?"

"I know, I told him." Li Xiaozhuang was a little happy after being praised by Qu Jiyuan, but fell down instantly.

"Oh, he didn't say he wanted to see me?" Qu Jiyuan flipped through the article written by Li Xiaozhuang and asked casually.

"He said that he has no relatives and no reason. I think he is embarrassed. He talks about you every day for three days, and he can't be serious when he hears me talk about you." His elder brother obviously wants to save face and suffer.

Qu Jiyuan pursed his lips and smiled, Li Xiaozhuang looked at him, Big Brother Qu was different from other people in the county, he was born with a temper, now he has been outside for two years, compared to before, his temperament is more noble, even his momentum has changed Quite a lot, Li Xiaozhuang admired the current Qu Jiyuan even more in his heart.

"Is he embarrassed? It seems that I have to find him in person."

"Yes, see what he has to say, I don't believe he doesn't want to see you!"

"I don't believe it either, let's go."
