"My elder brother's name is Heng and his name is Keli, and my sister-in-law's maiden name is Wang. My eldest nephew Shen Yan, whose nickname is Cancan, and my younger niece Shen Rou, who is only eight months old..."

Shen Ke stopped outside the city gate, and couldn't help repeating the words he had repeated countless times from beginning to end.

Xiao Daoluan saw that he spoke in a hurry, small pieces of dry skin appeared on his mouth, and silently untied the water bottle tied around his waist.There was less than half of the water left in the pot, and Shen Ke swallowed two mouthfuls without drinking a drop.Xiao Daoluan lifted the bottom of the pot a little higher, and Shen Ke gulped it down.

Shen Ke licked the water stains around his mouth, and continued: "I'm afraid you are impatient to deal with them, but for my sake, please give me a smile."

After staying in Jianchi for less than half a month, he saw the Xiao family father and son more than once, both of them had serious faces, one with a solemn expression.He was apprehensive, afraid that the two of them would have a conflict because of him, and when he got closer, he realized that one said "the first book of so-and-so's sword manual is good enough to read, but the second book is not enough for instruction", and the other said "this People's minds are not right in their later years, and they fall into evil ways. From this point of view, it seems that there have been early omens."And on the wooden table that separated them by half a zhang, there was a sword manual that was very old just by looking at the cover.

From then on, Shen Ke didn't expect Xiao Daoluan to be courteous in front of his "natal family".

Xiao Daoluan took out a soft handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it for Shen Ke.The light green brocade surface and the silver-white bamboo pattern are exactly what Shen Ke used to use.He himself didn't remember where he threw it, but Xiao Daoluan took it away and took it with him.

"Although they may be in your heart, they are ordinary people who don't care about it. But I have regarded them as relatives all these years-" Shen Ke suddenly thought that Xiao Daoluan seemed to have everything in his past life and present life. is alone.When he met Xiao Daoluan in his previous life, the other party's parents had both passed away, and in this life, the other party was adopted by Xiao He since he was a child, and he didn't even know who his biological parents were.What should he say so that the other party can understand?

"I understand." Xiao Daoluan pointed the damp handkerchief at the corner, folded it carefully, and put it back in his arms, "You have close friends and relatives." Just like in the previous life, Shen Ke was also accompanied by fellow students Three brothers.

"If you want to be nice to them, I will be nice to them myself."

Seeing him lowering his head and raising his eyebrows, Shen Ke didn't know that Xiao Daoluan remembered the events of his previous life, so he thought he was embarrassed, so he held his hand and comforted him: "Why don't you stay in the town for a few days, I'll go back and talk to them first. I understand. If they agree, I'll call you over again, if they don't agree... I'll try hard until they agree."

At the end, he whispered in Xiao Daoluan's ear: "Don't worry, I won't wrong you for them."

Xiao Daoluan pressed the side of Shen Ke's neck, and when he was struggling to break away, he kissed lightly on the cheek.

Shen Ke's first reaction was to push him away.This town is only a tiny bit big, and you can run into familiar people wherever you go.Just now when the two were standing at the gate of the city, he caught a glimpse of some aunts pointing in the distance, and thought he recognized the second boy of the Shen family.Xiao Daoluan was so intimate with him so openly, the news might reach his parents' ears in a short time.

He frowned and quickly relaxed.If you know it, you know it, and he didn't intend to keep hiding it.Even Jianchi recognized his identity as the young mistress, so couldn't he give Xiao Daoluan a title at home?

Shen Ke thought like this, wrapped Xiao Daoluan around him to prevent him from succeeding, and ran away, groping with his fingers to find the soft lips, and kissed them deeply, until the breath of both of them was a little unstable, and they couldn't hold back. Shirdi parted.

There was a snap.Shen Ke didn't feel anything when the two were lingering, and felt a little ashamed when they separated.

He wrapped his arms around Xiao Daoluan's waist, and said: "When we enter the city, I will find a place for you first."

"No need." Xiao Daoluan was half a head taller than Shen Ke, and Shen Ke insisted on wrapping his arms around him. In fact, both of them felt a little awkward, but Shen Ke didn't stop, so Xiao Daoluan let him wrap his arms around, "Xiao He repeatedly urged , let me go back to the door with you."

Shen Ke said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiao Jianzhu to be so concerned about such a small matter."

Xiao Daoluan recalled Xiao He's expression when he asked him, and said solemnly: "He said, it is reasonable to send you back home gracefully, so that people will know that you are from Jianchi. But he twitched If you are not born, we don’t want to go on the road with others, and the matter of standing up for you in front of your mother’s family falls on me alone, so we must act cautiously.”

The more serious Xiao Daoluan said, the more difficult it was for Shen Ke to imagine the scene when Xiao He said these words.The father and son stayed together, besides talking about swords, what else could they talk about about these parents?

What made him even more dumbfounded was that Xiao Daoluan then took out a piece of paper.

The two-inch long and half-inch wide piece of paper was densely written with words.Shen Ke looked down and saw more than a dozen items listed above, ranging from roosters to drinks.The flowing cursive is not like Xiao Daoluan's handwriting, it is probably written by Xiao He himself.

"This is?"

"Returning ceremony."

According to the ancient and modern anecdotes, Xiao He listed all the home-returning rites, consulted a few old men in Jianchi who had arranged marriages for the younger generation, and added a lot of extras according to the rules only in the south.This all-encompassing homecoming gift, even the most courteous people can't fault it.

The two walked into the city gate, Xiao Daoluan held a piece of paper between his fingers, looked at the top line of the gift list, and read: "Rooster One."

"Don't look at it." Shen Ke pulled out the piece of paper. He didn't want to keep it at first, but he thought that it was Xiao He's calligraphy after all, so it's not good to throw it away casually, so he had to fold it and put it back in his arms.

"You said that your mother was born in a family of poets and books, and your father is also a person of great courtesy." Xiao Daoluan will remember what Shen Ke said word for word, "Xiao He also told me that even if your parents don't accept you, The courtesy that should be done must also be done.”

"Sword Master Xiao also told you this?"

In fact, a lot has been said, but it is not yet the time to act on those words.Xiao Daoluan had already written down the list of gifts listed on the paper in his heart, and now he took it out to look at it, just to confirm it.Shen Ke took away the paper, which didn't prevent him from preparing everything.

"Where can... buy chicken?"

"No need to buy."

Before Xiao Daoluan got into the blind alley of paranoia, Shen Ke hurriedly said: "Let's go to my brother's house first, to find out what's going on. The return ceremony... don't rush to prepare."

He also couldn't imagine Xiao Daoluan holding a crowing rooster in one hand, nodding and bending over to enter the house.
