Heaven and earth return to one

On the early morning of the 31st, the streets and alleys in the city are full of firecrackers, and the whole Xiangzhou city is very lively.

The nurse coaxed Nangong Xin, who was awakened by the crackling sound, and was a little worried that the little guy would be frightened, but who knew that the child just shivered when the first sound of firecrackers sounded, and then kept taking off the nurse's hand covering his ears. hand, babbling to express his dissatisfaction.

Xu Mingxi came over according to the usual time, knocked on the door and said, "Sister-in-law, is it convenient for me to go in?"

"Doctor Xiao Xi is here? Come in quickly." The nurse returned in the room.

Xu Mingxi entered the room, breathed a few breaths on his hands, "It's really cold outside, this year is colder than usual."

The nurse wrapped Nangong Xin with a smile and handed it to him, "I heard that the leader is busy these few days, and you are playing with Xiao Xin. Does he have time to spend with his son today?"

"Today is the Chinese New Year. Is it reasonable to have no time?" Xu Mingxi took two silver ingots and put them on the table, then took Nangong Xin from her arms and said, "Sister-in-law has worked hard these days, this is the leader I mean, let you go home and cook a delicious New Year’s Eve dinner for the whole family. You don’t have to worry about it these few days, the leader told me to prepare goat milk for Xin’er in advance, and you can come back after the fifth day.”

The nurse looked at the twelve silver ingots on the table, swallowed her saliva unconsciously, her eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and said: "Doctor Xiao Xi, don't lie to me, the leader really didn't want to send me back Home?"

Xu Mingxi was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Why did you drive you home? You took care of Xin'er so fat that it was too late for him to thank you. The 20 taels was really given by the leader to thank you. Don't think too much. Be sure to come back on the fifth day of the lunar new year!"

Only then did the nurse happily hold up the silver, she was so excited that she was about to shed tears, and said repeatedly: "Okay!"

Xu Mingxi hugged Nangong Xin and went out, covering his small face, "20 taels scares people, and the prince still wants to give 100 taels. I don't even think about where the leader of our family got so much spare money. Isn't this arousing suspicion?"

Nangong Xin made a very soft ah ah sound, not sure if he was responding to his words.

"Take you to find your father!" Xu Mingxi trotted all the way into Nangongxuan's small courtyard.

Another string of firecrackers sounded in the back street, and he hurriedly covered Nangong Xin's ears.

Nangong Xin giggled, although the whole person was wrapped in a thick quilt, the laughter still pierced through the noisy firecrackers and reached Xu Mingxi's ears.

"Huh?" Xu Mingxi lifted a small piece of quilt that had partially covered his face, and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Ah!" Nangong Xin opened his mouth to him.

Xu Mingxi liked it, and sighed: "It would be great if I also had such a lovely son."

"You can marry a wife and have children." Someone behind him suddenly said.

Xu Mingxi almost jumped up in fright, turned around and saw that it was Kang Hui, and hurriedly said, "I, I, I just want to say, I have no intention of marrying a wife, Brother Kang, don't get me wrong!"

Kang Hui said, "What did I misunderstand?"

"Misunderstand me...I..." Xu Mingxi blushed, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, "It's...it's nothing."

At this time, Nangong Xuan came over and took his son into his arms, "If you two want to chat, send my son in first, what if he is frozen?"

"Master?" Xu Mingxi said awkwardly, "When did you..."

Nangongxuan walked in with his son in his arms, "Since you entered the hospital with your child, you have been waiting at the door for a long time."

Li Yunke half pushed the window, and said: "Xiaoxi likes Xin'er so much, when he gets older, let him recognize you as godfather, would you like it?"

"Really?" Xu Mingxi couldn't care less about the loss and embarrassment, and kept nodding, "Yes, yes, yes!"

After he finished speaking, he felt that Li Yunke was teasing him, so he lowered his shoulders and said, "Xin'er is the prince, what do you want a godfather like me who has no money and no status to do?"

"Just hurt him." Li Yunke smiled, "Godfather is not too much, and Xuan'er and I can save a lot when we come back with a round of lucky money during the New Year."

Nangong Xuan had already entered the house with his son in his arms, and said, "You can never have too many godfathers, how many fathers do you plan to make him recognize?"

Li Yunke closed the window, came over to touch Nangong Xin's small face, and said: "Anyway, Xin'er is not at a disadvantage."

Nangongxuan put his son on the bed, took off the outermost layer of quilt, and after careful consideration, nodded and said: "You are right."

So the two sat cross-legged on the bed, with Nangong Xin who was about to giggle at the sound of firecrackers sandwiched between them, and they discussed seriously which godfathers to find for their children and how to cheat them.

——Leaving Xu Mingxi standing outside facing the window stupidly for a long time, when he finally plucked up the courage to look back, he realized that Kang Hui had long since disappeared.

In the evening, the sound of firecrackers in the city became more and more vigorous, and every household hung up lanterns, reflecting every street in festive red.

The Xiangzhou sub-altar was also full of laughter, and the delicious dishes were put on the table one after another. All the disciples crowded in the front hall which seemed a bit crowded at this time, shouting at each other for wine.

Nangongxuan sat in the first place, so it was inevitable that he would be drunk. Fortunately, Li Yunke had the foresight to let Xu Mingxi prepare in advance.

Xu Mingxi didn't have that spare time to really come up with something that looked like wine but wasn't. He just put a few wine jugs filled with water beside Nangong Xuan. Anyway, it was a mess, and no one could tell what it was.

It wasn't until Haishi, when most of the disciples at the banquet got drunk, that Nangongxuan had a chance to escape.

Seeing him get up, Xu Mingxi also stood up and said in a low voice, "Master, shall we go now?"

Before Nangong Xuan could nod his head, Yu Fangxing, who was sitting on the other side, raised his glass and leaned over, with a bit of drunkenness, he said, "I haven't finished the wine yet, where is the master going?"

Seeing him staggering, Nangongxuan stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "I can't drink any more, I have to go and see Xin'er. Let Yang's mother and sister-in-law go back today, and Xin'er is only left in my yard. A few big men are watching, I don't feel relieved."

Yu Fangxing chuckled, "Isn't the leader also a big man, what's the difference?"

"Cousin, you're drunk." Xu Mingxi raised his hand to fill the wine glass in his hand, then turned his head and gave Nangong Xuan a look, which meant to tell him to go first.

But Yu Fangxing hid in the past, and said a little unhappy: "Xiaoxi, what day is tonight, don't disappoint!"

Xu Mingxi was helpless, and said: "Cousin, why are you still having trouble with a child? If it is your own son, can you not worry about it?"

"I don't have a son!" Yu Fangxing yelled at him, and then looked at Nangong Xuan bitterly, "I... I will never have a son in my life..."

Nangongxuan was thinking about Li Yunke and Nangongxin in his heart, and he didn't want to spend any more time with him. He took back his wine glass filled with water, touched his wine glass, raised his head and drank it dry, saying: "Fang Xing , You drank a lot, eat more, you should go back and rest earlier."

Yu Fangxing glanced at the cup he dropped, and then at the back of him leaving in a hurry, feeling uncomfortable.

Xu Mingxi followed Nangongxuan and took two steps, then turned to Yu Fangxing and said, "Cousin, don't be like this, everything is about the child, so don't worry about it with a little baby."

Yu Fangxing didn't say a word, he gripped the wine glass tightly, finally gave a wry smile, and drank the wine in the glass.

When the two returned to the small courtyard, Li Yunke had already left with Nangong Xin for a long time.

"Master Nangong," Qin Shaojun said, walking out of the shadows in the corner, "Master, I have ordered my subordinates to wait here. When Master Nangong returns, I will show you the way to the Moon Tower."

Nangong Xuan nodded, "Let's go now."

Xu Mingxi said: "Leader, go first, I'll look for it later."

"Why don't you go together?"

"I..." Xu Mingxi scratched his face, "I'm not good at martial arts, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers guarding outside will find out if I walk with you, so I'll go there by myself later."

Nangong Xuan said: "Do you think that everyone is drinking on New Year's Eve but you go out alone, so they won't be suspicious?"

Xu Mingxi lowered her head and said, "Then I... I won't go..."

Someone grabbed his shoulders suddenly.

Kang Hui didn't know when he appeared next to him, almost wrapping him in his arms, and said, "It's okay, I'll take you there, no one will find out."

Although she was still standing in the snow and feeling the cold wind at night, Xu Mingxi felt her whole body became hot, especially her face.

Nangongxuan didn't see anything wrong with him, looked around and asked, "Did Shaoshang and Xiang Duo go first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shaoshang and Xiang Duo appeared at the same time.

"Master Nangong," Qin Shaoshang clasped his fists at him, "Master said he doesn't know if there will be any problems later, let us stay here for a while longer."

Xiang Duo also said: "That's right, if someone comes and sees that the yard is empty and doesn't cause any trouble, we'll wait for them to leave and then go to the Moon Tower; if no one comes, we'll wait until the ugly hour and leave , should still be in time to eat a meal of hot dumplings."

"Let's go together," Nangongxuan beckoned to them, "Don't listen to Yun Ke, New Year's Eve, there is no such thing as him."

Qin Shaoshang smiled and said: "Don't dare, otherwise the master will have a way to deal with us later. Master Nangong, let's go, I think the master is already waiting in a hurry."

"Master Nangong, don't worry about it. My brother doesn't have a wife. It's fine to squat outside for one or two nights." Qin Shaojun jumped onto the wall and lowered his voice, "This way!"

Qin Shaoshang: "..."

Nangongxuan also really missed Li Yunke and the little guy, so he stopped persuading him and followed Qin Shaojun to the wall.

"Let's go." Kang Hui hugged Xu Mingxi by the waist, and swept across the wall like a gust of wind.

Xu Mingxi couldn't open his eyes for a while because of the cold wind, and instinctively wrapped his arms around Kang Hui's neck.

I'm just afraid of accidentally falling, Xu Mingxi thought, that's all.
