Chapter 584 Can I stay here for the New Year? (Supplement 1)
The grandfather and grandson were sitting next to each other and talking affectionately, when Mrs. Yun heard a grunting sound coming from Li Ziting.
"What? You came here hungry?" Mrs. Yun said in surprise.
Li Ziting immediately looked aggrieved and said: "Don't mention it, I rushed back to the palace from outside the city early in the morning, and then my mother sent me here.
"I thought I would definitely be able to catch lunch when I came here, but when I came, I took a detour to buy your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. With such a delay, I didn't even make it in time for lunch."
"Oh, isn't it true that you haven't eaten anything from morning to night? How can this be okay? Being hungry is no joke." Mrs. Yun immediately became anxious, "Here, please bring some snacks to Zi Ting first."
Give him some rest and let the chef cook some of his favorite dishes."
"Grandma still loves me!" Li Ziting said coquettishly like a child next to Mrs. Yun.
"Is everything peaceful in the house? As soon as winter comes, I can't go far away, and I can't go see them. Your mother came here a few days ago, and I don't know how your father is doing lately."
"Everything is fine. Before I came, my mother asked me to stay a few more days this time to keep you company!"
Mrs. Yun's expression changed when she heard this. She had lived for decades anyway, so she couldn't understand the meaning of these words.
"What happened to the palace? Your mother, who is so strict with rules, actually asked you to come to my place to celebrate the New Year?"
"It's nothing. She is just afraid that the prince and I will fight. After all, we both dislike each other. We are celebrating the New Year, so it would not look good if we fight."
"It's not like you two have been together for a day or two. How did you get here in the past years?"
Li Ziting knew that this matter could not be hidden from Mrs. Yun. Even if she did not know it from her own mouth, she would know everything if she sent someone to inquire about it, so he simply told the story of what happened in the palace last night.
I talked about it for a while.
Mrs. Yun sighed after hearing this and couldn't help but said: "It's all my fault that I was blind back then. I shouldn't have let her marry your father..."
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Li Ziting would feel uncomfortable after hearing this, so she quickly said: "But if I don't marry her to your father, I won't have a lovely grandson like you!"
Li Ziting couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You and my mother are really like mother and daughter, and everything we say is the same."
"Isn't it my biological child?"
Li Ziting simply had a late lunch at Mrs. Yun's house, and chatted with her for a long time about family matters.
Strangely enough, if it had been normal, if anyone dared to tell Li Ziting these boring trivial matters, he would have kicked them out long ago.
But when he arrived at the Yun Mansion and chatted with Mrs. Yun about these things, he could always find a rare calmness and even enjoy listening to them.
The old man and the young man chatted so much that they forgot the time, and before they knew it, night was approaching.
"Ancestor, can I come in?"
An innocent voice sounded outside the door, interrupting the chat between Mrs. Yun and Li Ziting.
"Come in." Mrs. Yun took a sip of tea and said to Li Ziting with a smile: "You can tell it's Jinwen when you hear it. She clings to you the most!"
As soon as the old lady here finished speaking, the door on the other side opened with a creak, and a little girl of seven or eight years old walked in.
She was wearing a pink coat and skirt, and a pair of snow-white soft leather boots. Her rosy little face looked like she was running over.
Her dark eyes turned, and when her gaze immediately fell on Li Ziting, she immediately smiled with her little white teeth exposed, and said with a smile: "Brother Ziting is here!"
After Yun Jinwen finished speaking, she immediately ran to Li Ziting and sat down next to him, making sure their arms were touching each other.
Li Ziting reached out and touched Yun Jinwen's head and asked: "I just heard from my grandma that my uncle has been urging you to practice calligraphy recently. Have you made any progress?"
"Dad said that my handwriting has improved, but compared with brother Ziting, it definitely lacks proficiency." She said, patting her forehead and saying, "When I saw brother Ziting, I was so happy that I almost became confused.
Forgot about the real thing.
"The New Year's Eve dinner is about to start, and my father asked me to come over and invite my ancestors to the table!"
Today is New Year's Eve, and the dinner party has been set up in the main hall of the Yun family.
The eldest and second masters of the Yun family, together with their wives, concubines and grandchildren, stood at the door waiting for Mrs. Yun's arrival.
But no one expected that Li Ziting would also come with him.
Although Li Ziting is the king of the county, he never puts on airs in his maternal grandfather's family. He always considers himself a junior and never dares to neglect the due etiquette.
When he saw the two uncles, he immediately took a few steps forward and held the junior ceremony.
Yun Haoqing, the eldest master of the Yun family, was wearing a crimson robe, and standing next to him in a sapphire blue cotton robe was Yun Haoxian, the second master of the Yun family.
Neither of them dared to show off, so they hurriedly called the county king to return the favor.
Li Ziting said: "The two uncles are not like this. They are all members of the same family. There is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly."
"Etiquette must not be discarded. Do the national etiquette first, and then discuss the family etiquette!" A familiar voice came from behind, imitating Yun Haoqing's tone.
Li Ziting looked up and saw that it was his cousin Yun Weikang. He immediately smiled and called out: "Cousin, long time no see."
Yun Haoqing scolded with a straight face: "Weikang, you are acting nonsense again, without any rules at all!"
Mrs. Yun opened her mouth to smooth things over and said, "Okay, they have a good relationship as brothers. Do you take this as a joke? I keep a straight face every day. I have lost my appetite when I see you."
Hearing what his mother said, Yun Haoqing had no choice but to soften his expression.
The whole family then started to eat lively.
Yun Weikang picked up the jug and poured a full glass of wine for Li Ziting, and smiled heartily: "Ziting, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so we need to have a good drink today!"
Before Li Ziting could reply, the woman sitting next to Yun Haoqing said: "Weikang, don't be ridiculous. Ziting didn't even take a bite of the meal. You should hurry up and ask him to drink with you. If you drink
I'm so drunk, how can I go back tonight?"
The person who spoke was none other than Yun Weikang's mother, the eldest lady of the Yun family.
She has a gentle and virtuous nature, and her skillful hands keep the Yun Mansion in order. When she blames her son, her words are gentle and gentle.
Yun Weikang knew about Li Ziting's drinking capacity, so he waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Mom, don't worry, I can still count Ziting's drinking capacity."
Li Ziting also smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm going to stay here tonight anyway, so I'm not afraid if I drink too much."
As soon as these words came out, Yun Jinwen, who was sitting next to Li Ziting, immediately agreed happily: "Yes, yes, it's getting late today anyway, why don't brother Ziting stay the night."
Li Ziting turned around and said to Yun Jinwen with a smile: "How about I stay here to celebrate the New Year?"
"Brother Ziting, would you like to take me to set off fireworks tonight?" Yun Jinwen was young and didn't understand. When she heard that he wanted to stay for the New Year, she just clapped her hands and cheered.
But except for Mrs. Yun, the expressions of everyone else on the table changed. Even Yun Weikang slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.
