It was almost noon, and Li Chao asked his master's wife to have tea and rest, and only asked Qingrou and Yingzi to help him. He was busy in the kitchen. In just a while, delicious delicacies with good colors, fragrance, taste and shape were served on the large dining table in the center of the dining room.

Yu Niang happily said to Zixi beside Yifei: "This is good for Maomao. Whenever there is something to do at home, he will show off his skills. Hahaha, it is really a pleasant thing to have a chef at home. We just open our mouths and enjoy it."

Yifei held her mother's hand affectionately and flattered her: "You good son, you have become more and more sensible since you were with Qingrou. I think you will be more impressed in the future."

Yu Niang was so happy that she couldn't hold her mouth together, and she smiled and said, "Qingrou is also a good child!"

Since Yifei and Zixi got together, Aiwu and Qingrou have become closer and closer.

During the meal, Bokuan took out two bottles of Louis XIII and said, "Zixi is here for the first time today. Let's be happy. We all come to the fun. It's all about drinking."

Li Chao smiled when he saw Haojiu, and said to Bokuan intimately: "Brother, we are really in tune with each other. I frozen the well water I brought back from Senior Sister Rouer last time, and it was just right with Louis. The filet steak, which was marinated, was even better with this brandy. Come on, everyone reported it, how mature is the steak?"

Mr. Fu said that he and his mother-in-law were both older and had poor stomachs and could not eat too raw, so they would have to be 80% mature.

What Zhongxuan wants is seven years of maturity.

Bokuan, Wanru, Feifei and the others were all 50 years old, so Yu Niang came to join in the fun with these young people and said, "Today I will also go with you, so you must also 50 years old. The steak fried in this way is full of juice and tender."

Lelegao raised his hand and shouted, "I want to be mature, I am better than you."

This time, this fat man was not only criticized by his mother, but also by his uncle. Li Chao said that he might as well give you a piece of raw beef, so that you will be even more powerful. After saying that, he pretended to catch him, but the fat man had already giggled into Yu Niang's arms with a giggle smile.

Bokuan pulled Li Chao and said, "Maomao, don't rush to fry steak. We are a family dinner, eat slowly, have a glass of wine first, and the banquet is held. It's not too late for you to go there again, don't let down the sweet spring water you have brought back from the mountains through endless hardships."

Li Chao laughed and said, "Okay, brother said it well, let's have a drink of Louis first."

Naturally, everyone respectfully invited Mr. Fu to hold a drink. At the family banquet, Pang Min and Yingzi each had a glass of Louis.

But Pang Min frowned after taking a sip and said, "What's the smell? Chaochao, it's not as delicious as the blue and white wine you brought back."

Li Chao quipped, "Oh, my good teacher's wife, the price of this glass of wine in front of you is worth the price of my jar of wine. It's not good to drink, so you need a small sip!"

Pang Min was surprised when she heard this: "The sip I just drank was like eating several chickens. Amitabha, it was a sin! A sin!"

Yu Niang also said, "Do you think, Mama Pang, this is the best brandy in the world."

Yu Niang likes Zixi very much, is very enthusiastic about him, and even makes dishes for him. It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks, the happier she becomes. Yu Niang looks at Zixi, which makes Li Chao a little jealous. He thought to himself: "Hmph, you haven't seen me with such a gentle and admirable look. You know you're so cruel to me all day long. I really don't know if I am your biological child?"

On this side, Mr. Fu kept picking up food for Qingrou, and he said, "Rou Rou, eat more to nourish your body. I think you have lost weight, this is not good."

Li Chao rushed to say, "No, old man, isn't Rourou the same as before?"

The old man glared at him fiercely, hummed heavily, ignored him, turned his head and drank with Bokuan.

Li Chao was bored and became more and more puzzled.

Mr. Fu and his mother-in-law came late. Before he had a lot of talk with Zixi, the old man asked Zixi where he worked, how old he was this year, and how his family was...

Before Zixi answered, Li Chao couldn't help but feel the protagonist. He had always been the protagonist in the party on weekdays. He had never been treated as coldly as he was today. He smiled and rushed to say, "Old man, Zixi is Rourou's senior brother, Master Shan Yunwang's great disciple! Moreover, he is now the youngest philosophy professor at Xichuan University, and has also been a visiting scholar. He has tutored the teachers of the Huaxia Academy, which is opened abroad in our country, and explained the ways of Confucius and Mencius. Now there are many foreign students who have followed him to learn gossip, Zhou Yi, Guiguzi, and he is also the youngest Fuhui of the Chinese Calligraphy Association... "

Mr. Fu interrupted Li Chao impatiently and said, "Little bastard, can you still let us have a good chat? You have a lot of nonsense today!"

Li Chao was so choked by his grandfather that he couldn't speak. When he saw Yu Niang winking at him secretly, he smiled and raised his glass and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it, drink, drink."

Qingrou picked up some dishes for him and whispered to him: "Eat more dishes and talk less."

Li Chao thought angrily: "What are you doing? This old man, I haven't messed with you today. Rourou is still here, so I shy my face. Eyes are not eyes, and nose is not nose. Next time I play chess with me, I want to play chess again and let me give in to you, that will definitely not work."

After dinner, Qingrou helped Yingzi clean up the table, chairs, bowls and chopsticks. Li Chao took out the camellia tea sent from Xiangyue, and boiled the last bit of spring water brought back from them for everyone to make tea.

Mr. Fu said he wanted to go to the back garden to eat food, so he asked Li Chao to accompany him.

Li Chao was thinking about how to pat the old man's flattery and make him happy. Seeing that he clicked his own, he ran over and helped his grandfather to the garden.

After Mr. Fu went out, he saw that there was no one around, so he shouted: "A bastard, he has grown up and his wings are hard. Do you think my old man's words are in your ears?"

When he heard that Monk Li Chao was confused, he asked timidly: "Old man, what are you talking about? Why did you hear me in confusion?"

When Mr. Fu heard this, he became even more angry. He waved the pineapple blossoming crutch in his hand and wanted to beat Li Chao. This crutch was given to him by Li Chao.

How fast did Li Chao react? When he moved his body, he would have already dodged.

A few steps away from the old man, Li Chao smiled and comforted his grandfather and said, "Old man, good grandfather, good old man, let's talk well, gentlemen don't act!" Li Chao was also afraid of the crutch in his grandfather's hand.

Mr. Fu pointed at him with a crutch and said, "I'll ask you to take good care of Qingrou and look at her well. You bastard just don't listen. Now, the child is gone, my great-grandson is gone, you bastard, I feel so sad when I think of this, you...you are so disobedient."

Li Chao was stunned for a moment, thinking where he followed him?

When Mr. Fu saw him pretending to be reckless, he blew his beard and stared at him, "You are still pretending to be garlic here? Yu Niang told me that I should not bring up the child's affairs in front of Qingrou in the future, for fear that she would be sad when she thinks of it. Oh, it's a pity for my poor great-grandson! You little bastard don't know how to love others, why did you let Qingrou work in it? Go and change to Qingrou to rest!"

Li Chao finally understood that it was his mother who helped him to help him with the old man's hurdle. So he immediately said to his grandfather: "Okay, old man, you rest here first, I'll go and change her." After that, he spread his legs and ran away.

Mr. Fu shouted to him behind him: "Boy, Qingrou is fine, you still have to hurry up, have you heard?"

Li Chao replied without looking back: "Okay, old man, received it!"

Mr. Fu said to himself as he left his grandson's back: "This bastard lives in a mess, and it's hard to tell which one is more important. Alas, it's really not worry-free!"

In the afternoon, Li Chao called Yaoyao, Junjie, Hongyu and his brothers and sisters again, and held a barbecue party by the swimming pool in the evening.

The young people had a great time and started to punch and fight. In the end, even Yu Niang and Pang Min couldn't help but join them.

Qingrou couldn't punch her, so she helped Li Chao drink. Pang Min felt sorry for Li Chao the most and helped him drink. Now, Li Chao was so excited that even Wanru was not afraid.

Seeing the family, young and old, who were both young and intimate, Mr. Fu smiled happily while drinking wine with his son-in-law, feeling extremely satisfied and comfortable.

Because Li Chao, Hongyu, Zixi and his group of young people drank too much wine, Yu Niang didn't let them go at night. After playing cards, she arranged a room for them to rest.

When the tired Yu Niang returned to her bedroom, she acted coquettishly and said to her husband that she was so tired that she was about to part with her, and asked him to help her pinch her shoulders.

Zhongxuan's skillful fingering and moderate weight made Yu Niang feel very comfortable and relaxed. She closed her eyes and enjoyed her husband's love and comfort. After Zhongxuan finished massage, Yu Niang changed into a silk pajama to take a shower. She saw the calligraphy work given by Zixi on the bookshelf. She couldn't help but ask her husband: "Zhongxuan, are you still watching it? How do you feel? Uh, I mean Zixi. You have countless people in your body and can always see some places we can't see. Tell me, I want to hear it."

Zhongxuan caressed his wife's black hair lovingly, nodded and smiled, "Shan Yun, Mr. Shan is such a strange man! He can actually cultivate such outstanding disciples. Even if anyone else can have any of them as his disciples in his life, this life is enough! Mr. Shan is very admirable!"

Yu Niang always obeys her husband's words without any doubts, just asked: "What do you say? What do you think of Zixi?"

Shangguan Zhongxuan did not answer his wife immediately. He slowly came to Zixi's calligraphy work, looked carefully, and said slowly: "Look at his word, his pen is a bit imposing, and his pen is very scattered, more calm and heavy than Qingrou's words, but less fresh and elegant." Zhongxuan said as he turned around and looked at Yu Niang and smiled: "This Zixi, as the eldest disciple of Mr. Shan, should have many old gentlemen's calligraphy, but he wrote a picture for us, which shows that he is very confident and believes in his own abilities, and his calligraphy is very skillful."

Yu Niang asked back, "From what you mean, Qingrou is not very confident, so she wants to borrow her teacher's magic treasure to suppress her side?"

Zhongxuan shook his head and smiled, "You can't say that, Yu'er. Qingrou loves Xiaochao very much. She is afraid that she will be negligent in giving her works, which is considered to be a love for the house and the black. The child is extremely simple and will not have any other thoughts." Then, Zhongxuan pointed to the calligraphy work and said to Yu Niang: "Yu'er, the two words written by Zixi are pronounced as "Surely Safe", which was first seen in "The Book of Rites" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". "The Doctrine of the Mean" said: No one can see invisible, and no one can show in the minor, so a gentleman is cautious in the only one. The meaning is to say

When you are alone without others' supervision, you can also strictly demand yourself, consciously abide by moral norms, and not do anything immoral. Being cautious in solitude is actually "careful" and this requires a high moral cultivation. Zixi's child is expressing his feelings to us. He will be consistent with our Feier, with a beginning and an end. In the afternoon, Xiaochao told me about Zixi's first love girlfriend and I touched me. Today, when I had time, I chatted with Zixi for a while. I thought he would be good to us Feier."

Yu Niang was overjoyed and said happily: "Well, as soon as I saw this Zixi, I liked it from the bottom of my heart. Seeing Fei'er and him so lovingly, I felt so at ease. Fei'er finally found a wishful husband who loves her, loves her, and can tolerate her. With a good home, I... in my heart...." As I was talking, Yu Niang couldn't help but shed tears and couldn't continue to say anything.

Zhongxuan gently patted his beloved wife and comforted him: "We Fei'er is a good child. Sooner or later, we will find our own happiness. I am really happy for her and we can rest assured. Yu'er, we are considered heroes this time, right?"

Yu Niang rested her head on her husband's shoulders, feeling very at ease. After hearing this, she nodded vigorously and replied: "Slightly the same, slightly the same!"

The next day, the young people played until evening before they slowly dispersed.

When Zixi was about to say goodbye and leave, Zhongxuan asked him and Qingrou to wait for a while, and then took them to his study and took out a lot of famous calligraphy and calligraphy and seals with Yu Niang, including Qi Baishi, Wu Changshuo, Zhang Daqian, Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, and Li Shutong. Everyone's calligraphy and paintings were dazzling and grand, which made people look dazzled.

Zhongxuan smiled affectionately and said to Murong Zixi and Qingrou: "We all like the gifts you brothers and sisters give to your uncle and aunt very much, and have already treasured them. You two can see the calligraphy and paintings here. If you can see them, choose one of them and use them as gifts you will give back to you by your uncle and aunt. OK?"

Zixi hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "Uncle, aunt, this is not possible. The calligraphy and paintings here are rare treasures, and there are very few that exist in the world. A bunch of our raw straw and a small celery can be compared with these priceless treasures. No, it will never work."

Seeing that Zixi was resigning and no longer felt the money, Yu Niang felt a little more favorable to him, and she smiled and said, "What treasures are not precious, just calligraphy and paintings. You know, putting them there is a good place for them. This is my and your uncle's wish. Zixi, don't refuse."

Zhongxuan smiled without saying a word, just looking at Li Chao.

Li Chao couldn't help it anymore. He had been envious of Zhang Daqian's "remaining lotus picture" in his father's collection. He pestered Yu Niang several times, but Yu Niang didn't let go, for fear that he would use it to mess with it. Today, he saw his parents open and let them choose whatever he wanted. He would not say anything polite, so he could just check it out first, so he directly chose the remaining lotus picture. Then he said to Qing Rou happily: "Rou'er, let's take it back and hang it in our study. It's so great, Mr. Daqian's original work! Don't you like this old master with a beard the most?"

Qingrou quietly shook Lichao's hand and whispered: "Chao, we can just come back more often, don't take it back, this picture of the remaining lotus is too expensive!"

When Yu Niang heard this, she smiled and said to Qingrou, "As long as you really like it and know how to cherish them, even your uncle and I will give you any valuable things. Don't you also need people who understand them to protect them? Your uncle said that your master Mr. Shan's calligraphy is as precious as the calligraphy and paintings of these predecessors, and we will treasure them well."

When Zixi and Qingrou heard this, Uncle Shangguan and Yu Niang compared their mentors with these seniors. They were extremely happy and stopped insisting. Qingrou nodded and agreed with the "remaining lotus picture" that Li Chao chose. Zixi chose a seal of Mr. Qi Baishi, each of whom was happy and happy, and pressed them down without saying anything.

As soon as he started work the next day, Li Chao received a call from his junior brother Guan Doudou, asking if Li Chao had any time in the past two days and invited him to come to the mountain city to gather. He said he missed Li Chao and his three senior brothers. Doudou also told Li Chao that there was a real estate project in the mountain city and wanted to invite the young owner of Linyun Group, the leader of Jindu real estate. His beloved senior brother, Mr. Shangguan, helped them take a look and take their pulse.

Li Chao has always had a good impression of his junior brother, and he was very comfortable with him at this time. He laughed and said, "Doudou, you are getting more and more good at speaking. OK, I have no problem here. I have to deal with something and arrange for you to leave tomorrow morning. I also miss you and Jintai very much. If you have any trouble on May Day, your sister-in-law has something to do, so she didn't get together with you. In this way, you will call Senior Brother Fei and Senior Brother Hou immediately and make an appointment with them to see when they have time."

Doudou said: "Okay, senior brother, I'll contact them right away. Haha, there is still someone who can't wait to talk to you."

Li Chao guessed that it must be Jintai. Sure enough, it was Jintai. He said on the phone: "Senior Brother, if Senior Brother Fei and Senior Brother Hou have something to do, you should come to Shancheng first. We are here to drink, play with cars, practice boxing and kicking, and wait for them to be different. I really miss you. Last time we went out to play, you and your sister-in-law had something to do again."

Li Chao laughed and said, "Okay, no problem. Let me tell you, Jintai, after a while, you will call the two senior brothers and say that you have wine, cars, and girls. Even if your two senior brothers have something big, they will definitely let go and come here!" After that, the two senior brothers laughed unrestrainedly on the phone.

As Li Chao expected, after only a while, Xiao Fei called him and said that Doudou and Jintai brothers were asking us to come over to play. He said that he wanted to bring both ** Taotao and Koizumi with him, and that it would be more lively. He also said that Jintai told them not to bring their girlfriends, and that he had arrangements. After that, he laughed with Li Chao.

After putting down the phone, Li Chao thought: This time I went to play mainly, but the real estate project that Doudou mentioned was also needed to find someone who knew the profession to show the two junior brothers. Even if it was perfunctory, it would be a good idea to let others see it.

Li Chao suddenly thought of Liu Ruosi and thought that she was an expert in this field. Because last time he heard from Hong Lin that Ruosi was a versatile talent. In the past, she was responsible for the development and sales of two or three large-scale real estate projects in Shanghai. She had some solutions. Besides, aren’t Ruosi’s family all in the mountain city? She can go back to see her after finishing her work, even if she takes care of her.

So she called Ruosi to discuss this matter. As expected, she was willing to accompany them to the mountain city. Li Chao asked her to arrange work and the company's daily affairs, saying that this trip might take a few days, so she was ready and set off early tomorrow morning.

After hearing this, Ruosi happily returned to the company and arranged it.

Li Chao called Qingrou again and asked for leave from her. Qingrou told him to drink less when he was on a business trip, but Li Chao naturally agreed.
