Wrong Changhuan

The welcome luncheon in the Master Xie's courtyard was very neatly attended.

Seeing that the old lady was trying her best, she affectionately pulled Xie Tianci and Wen Tingzhao to sit on both sides of the main seat.It seems that what she said every year that the old lady dotes on the second young master alone is true.

Under the superficial joy and harmony, I don't know how many thoughts are hidden, I'm afraid everyone has their own calculations.

Chang Huan looked at everyone present quietly and cautiously, recalling what Xie Tianci said just now.

Sitting next to Chang Huan, Xie Baitang saw Chang Huan under the table unconsciously clutching the skirt of his shirt, quietly reached out to hold her hand, then signaled her not to be nervous, and handed her another bowl of Camellia Jade Soup.

Chang Huan raised his eyes to meet the smiling gentle gaze, so he could only smile at Xie Baitang.She was grateful for Madam's delicacy, and she didn't know when she lost her guard against this kind of touch, but felt a sense of peace of mind, and immediately drank the whole soup.

At this time, Xie Tianci seemed to be a different person. After answering the old lady's question, he talked about the personnel affairs in the capital again.

When the banquet was nearly halfway through, the old lady suddenly said, "Godsend, you don't have to go back to the capital this time, and stay here to learn more from your aunt. She has worked very hard these years, and you have to share more for her, you know?"

One sentence made the banquet, which was originally a lively atmosphere, suddenly quiet down.

Even Chang Huan could hear the meaning behind these words, which was to put the future of the Xie family in the hands of Xie Tianci.

Xie Baitang took the words with a smile, and responded generously, "Don't worry, mother, Godsend is so smart, it must be fine."

Seeing that Xie Baitang really didn't seem to care about this matter, Chang Huan also felt relieved.

I only heard Xie Tianci answer yes.

As soon as the words were finished, Cui Yanqiu couldn't hide her complacency, she praised the old lady's wisdom with a flattering smile, and talked about the years of hard work of her younger siblings.

Xie Wenfeng glanced at his elder brother, perhaps seeing that his wife was a little too flamboyant, he quietly tugged at her sleeve, but Cui Yanqiu acted as if he didn't see it.

But Xie Lufeng's face obviously changed, his face darkened, although he didn't say anything, he glanced at Xie Tiandong, and then drank several glasses of mulled wine alone.

Xie Tiandong still had that indifferent look, as if what he just said was about someone else's family business, he didn't even show any strange expression.

There was a trace of surprise and reluctance on Wen Tingzhao's face. Although he liked to study and practice martial arts with Tianci, it was just a family affair of the Xie family, and there was nothing he could do except accept it.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, the old lady stood up, and with the support of the old mother and Xie Tianci behind her, she said, "I'm tired, you eat slowly." She said and patted the arm that Xie Tianci was supporting, He went back to the bedroom in the backyard.

After the old lady left, everyone took their seats one after another.

Of all the people present, only Xie Lufeng has the highest seniority.I saw Xie Lufeng holding up the wine glass in front of him. Although he was smiling, people could not detect half sincerity. He said to Xie Tianci, "For this cup, I will congratulate my nephew Tianci first, and I will make great achievements in the future." After all, let's do it first.

Xie Tianci had no choice but to raise his glass to thank him. If you want to crown the crown, if you ask for more advice, there is no shortage of etiquette.

Xie Lufeng put down his wine glass, and complained, "Drinking like this is not enough." Then he shouted loudly, "Come here, change the wine glass."

Some of the servants quickly obeyed the order.

During the banquet, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one else spoke.

Xie Lufeng staggered and walked behind Xie Wenfeng, patted his shoulder with one hand, and said, "Second Brother, you should have this cup to respect Young Master Wen, and thank his family for taking care of God this year. Come, we Let's respect Master Wen together." After Xie Lufeng finished speaking, he raised the wine cup to Wen Tingzhao and said, "Master Wen, please--" After finishing speaking, he drank another gulp.

Xie Wenfeng was slapped and said by him, so he had to drink a cup cautiously.

Wen Tingzhao glanced at Xie Tianci, then got up and picked up the wine cup and said, "Uncle Xie is out of sight. As a junior, I respect Shibo, please--" He saluted Xie Lufeng and Xie Wenfeng, and then drank it down. It's quite a bit of the heroic spirit of the quack.

It's just that the atmosphere during the banquet is getting worse and worse.

Cui Yanqiu couldn't sit still anymore, and after giving Xie Tianci a look, she hurriedly stood up with a smile on her face, and said, "Brother, Young Master Wen and Tianci have traveled so hard this trip, and they seem a little tired, why don't we come today Well, I can't have fun with you, let them come back and make amends to you some other day." As he said that, he approached Xie Tianci, pulling him and Wen Tingzhao to go out.

It's just that Xie Tianci didn't want to leave because Xie Baitang was there.However, he was warned by Cui Yanqiu's eyes and had no choice but to follow him out the door.Xie Wenfeng and Xie Tianshu were also drawn away by Cui Yanqiu's eyes.

All of a sudden, half of the people left, and the room suddenly became much empty.

Xie Lufeng returned to his seat, looked at the remaining people, and glanced at Xie Tianjin beside him.As soon as Xie Tianjin's eyes met, he immediately knocked over the teacup on the table with a shake of his hand, and the tea flowed down the edge of the table, soaking a large area.

Xie Tianjin was so frightened that his face turned blue, he hurriedly got up and stood aside with his head bowed.

I only heard Xie Lufeng scold fiercely, "What are you doing here, all useless things, get out of here!"

There was something in the words, it sounded like Xie Tiandong was scolding along the way.Although Chang Huan doesn't like Xie Tiandong, he also feels sorry for him at this time.This Xie Lufeng is really too much.

Although there are thousands of things and all kinds of ways in the world, living is nothing more than a matter of choice.But when it comes to biological parents, I can't help myself to choose them.

If Xie Tiandong is like this, why not himself.

On Xie Tiandong's calm face, Chang Huan actually saw a trace of sullenness at this moment, although it was fleeting, he did see waves.

Xie Baitang couldn't see it, so he rushed to the door and shouted, "Rong'er—take Tianjin down first, so that someone can take care of it."

Chang Huan took the opportunity to whisper, "Madam, let's go back first."

Even though he lowered his voice, Xie Lufeng still heard it. He grabbed the corner of Xie Baitang's sleeve with one hand, and handed the wine cup to Xie Baitang with the other. His eyes were slightly red from the alcohol, and he said with a bit of drunkenness, " Anyone can leave, but the third brother and sister shouldn't. Come on, brother, I haven't respected you for taking care of our Xie family so well all these years, and raising my son so...unique. ..”

Chang Huan couldn't understand his behavior, so he tore off the sleeves he was pulling, and put Xie Baitang behind him, saying, "Master, Madam doesn't like to drink, if not, I'll drink for her." I'm about to take that wine cup.

I saw a pair of slender and white hands grabbing it before Chang Huan, the wine cup shook slightly, soaking the white clothes on Xie Tiandong's legs, but he didn't care, and still said softly, "Then this wine should be more suitable for my son Drink it for my aunt."

Chang Huan only saw Xie Tiandong's flashing eyes and knew that he wanted her to take Xie Baitang away as soon as possible.Taking advantage of the drinking break between the father and son, he pulled Xie Baitang up and quickly walked out of the front hall.At this moment, the two seemed to abandon their past suspicions and cooperated seamlessly.

Chang Huan slowed down his pace only after he left the main courtyard, and pulled Xie Baitang's right hand, sweating profusely.

The sun seemed to be drowsy, and it moved only a little westward from the south.

Chang Huan looked at the sun, it was not dazzling at the moment, but a sudden dizziness hit her, the tinnitus made her stagger slightly, and she let go of Xie Baitang's hand.

For some reason, this dizziness and tinnitus have become more and more frequent recently.

Xie Baitang saw that his hand was let go, before he had time to see Chang Huan's expression clearly, he saw that there was suddenly a person on his chest.

Chang Huan took the initiative to hug her, and whispered in her ear, "Ma'am, I'll lend you your shoulder...for a while...just for a while..."

Xie Baitang was stunned for a moment, as if he was at a loss, as if happiness came too suddenly.

Maybe it's because the two of them get along more formally than intimately on weekdays, and Chang Huan hugs her too rarely, so she remembers it very clearly and cherishes it.

The first time was the day she promised to give away the Hundred Days Red.And now, it's the second time.

If the first hug had a purpose, but what the person in the arms is doing today is really protecting her, how could she not know.

Chang Huan stabilized his mind in Madam's arms, and when his mind felt a little lighter, Fang whispered, "Madam, I'm so scared..."

Xie Baitang's heart felt as if it was tightened by something, and he asked cautiously, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of the old man... I'm afraid that my wife will be wronged... I'm afraid that my wife is too kind to me... I'm afraid that I can't protect my wife..."

Xie Baitang listened to this faint and calm remark, but was both happy and heartbroken.After living for so many years, she thinks she has a clear view of the world, so how can she not understand: because of love, she has attachments;

Xie Baitang hugged the person in his arms tighter, and said with relief, "After I leave everything about the Xie family to Godsend, I will take you back to the Valley of Worry-free, where flowers bloom all the year round, and the mountains and plains are filled with medicinal herbs. I like it there." It was the place where she grew up, the place where she and Xie Cunfeng met for the first time, and it was also the home where she wanted to find Nuan Nuan many times, and then took her back home.

Chang Huan didn't know how to answer, so he let go of Xie Baitang's embrace, and after a moment of silence, he changed the topic and said, "Madam, let's go back, I didn't eat enough just now, I want to eat the dishes cooked by Madam."

"Okay, let's go home--" Xie Baitang finished speaking, and walked towards the west courtyard with Chang Huan with a smile.With a plan in her heart, it was as if everything in the future would be as beautiful as she thought.

The heart is set, and people are by the side.Fortunately, it's not too late.At this moment, Xie Baitang was full of gratitude in his heart.

Yang Yan once said that Chang Huan has always been a person with good taste.There is nothing wrong with this statement.When he was in Jiangling, Lin Xun cooked from time to time. When he arrived in Jiangdong, Xie Baitang's level was not much worse than Lin Xun's.

Chang Huan likes to watch Xie Baitang cook, just like he likes to watch his second uncle cook in Jiangling.

At that time, Yang Yan would say something that seemed to be very knowledgeable from time to time, "Cooking is like making medicine. What matters is ingredients, heat, and measurement."

And Lin Xun would tacitly follow up with a more meaningful sentence, "Cooking is like being a human being, and the emphasis is on appropriateness."

The same ingredients can be matched with different heat and different sauces to make different dishes with different tastes.

And for a meal, because of the different environment and people around you, you will have a different mood when you eat it.

But this time, Chang Huan was full and finished eating.

After dinner, she accompanied Xie Baitang for a walk in the courtyard to digest food. After walking for a while, she felt sleepy and yawned inadvertently.

When Xie Baitang saw it, he smiled and said, "That's pretty good."

Chang Huan didn't know why such a sentence came from, and blurted out, "Ah?"

"It's good to be able to sleep when you're full, to be happy every day, and to have nothing to worry about...go take a nap..." Xie Baitang explained, and Niannian behind him said, "Do you remember half a day?" Wake up the lady after an hour. Don't let her sleep for too long, I'm afraid I will lose sleep at night."

Every year should be.

Chang Huan thought that he would go to Dongpinghou's Mansion tomorrow, so he could see Ah Cuo, and he would be so excited at night that he didn't know when he would fall asleep, so he went to catch up on sleep while he was physically and mentally tired.After giving the gift, he went back to his room and went to sleep.
