LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 43 Cousin
Chang Xuan is the only heir of his generation, but he is not pampered. When he was seven or eight years old, he and Xue Lei were sent to the mountains to learn art.
The first is to strengthen the body and learn some self-defense skills. The Zhenyuan uncle's house only has this heir, so he can't afford to hurt him.
Secondly, it was also because Chang Xuan was indeed destined for disaster and needed to escape from the world to resolve it.
It's just not easy to say when this disaster will be avoided. So since he was ten years old, Chang Xuan and his cousin Xue Lei, who was two years younger, went to the mountains to learn skills together, and only came home to visit during the Chinese New Year.
"Son, can your master tell you when you can go home completely?" Ning held her son's hand and said tremblingly.
Xue Lei had already come down from the mountain last year. He was under Xue Qingsong's command and even went out to fight once.
Ning also hopes that her son will come back soon.
The old lady and Chang Chun had the same idea and looked at Chang Xuan eagerly.
"When I came down the mountain, Master asked me to stay at home temporarily." Chang Xuan pursed his lips, "Master said that my destiny has changed."
"Ah, is that good or bad?" the old lady asked with a trembling voice.
"Master said that when bad luck turns into good luck, there are noble people to help you."
"That's good, that's good!" The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and Chang Chun quickly helped her clean her chest.
"It's a good thing that things are turning around." Ning wiped away her tears.
It is said that it was caused by their ancestors charging into battle and killing too many people.
Back then, an expert told the ancestors of the Chang family that the Chang family could not survive three generations. That's why the ancestor declined the founding saint's decree to be crowned a king and only accepted the title of earl, leaving a glimmer of hope for the Chang family.
However, even so, the Zhenyuan Mansion is still underpopulated.
The Chang family has always been low-key in their behavior, and they often give porridge and donate to temples, all for the sake of their descendants. Now it has been passed down to the sixth generation, but it is becoming more and more difficult for the heirs.
The eldest son Chang Maozhi and Ning had two children in their early years. The eldest daughter died at a young age. A few years later, she gave birth to Chang Xuan. She almost didn't survive that year, and later her life was at stake. of great catastrophe.
The second son, Chang Maoming, and the Cao family did not even have a son and a half daughters.
Chang Xuan's generation is even more miserable. Until now, he has not even been engaged, and even has a family.
One can imagine how uncomfortable the old lady felt.
Now that I heard that things have turned around, it was like a big stone that had been weighing on my heart for many years was suddenly lifted away, and I felt a lot lighter.
"A happy event, a great happy event, my daughter-in-law, let's add some more dishes!"
"Hey!" Ms. Ning stood up and responded happily. She still had the stability of everyone before, but her steps were three minutes faster.
"Just in time, this can be considered a double happiness." The old lady dipped her handkerchief into the corners of her eyes.
"Grandma, are there any other happy events?" Chang Xuan asked curiously, then looked at his aunt Chang Chun, "Could it be that my uncle is going to be promoted again?"
"No, you have another little cousin."
Chang Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the word "little cousin."
He has a little cousin in his family, Cao Yingying.
Although he was only there during the Chinese New Year every year, he still had a very bad feeling towards this cousin.
"Did my second aunt adopt another daughter?"
After hearing Chang Xuan's words, the old lady and Chang Chun looked at each other and laughed.
"No, no, this cousin is from your aunt's family." The old lady said with a smile.
"Aunt...could it be..." Chang Xuan stood up in surprise, "Could it be that aunt gave birth to another daughter? Congratulations, aunt!"
Chang Xuan knew that his aunt had given birth to five sons and wanted a daughter.
Now I finally got what I wanted.
This is really his little cousin!
Dear!
Before the smile on Chang Xuan's face faded, Chang Chun shook his head and said, "She's not my child, but she's almost the same as my biological child. You'll see her soon."
"Yes, Xuan'er goes to change clothes first. Let's go to the greenhouse for lunch at noon. Your cousins and your little cousin are all over there."
"Okay." Chang Xuan left from the old lady's yard.
Chang Xuan's courtyard is the best courtyard in the middle courtyard, and he can just pass the flower house on the way back.
I wanted to go back directly, but I was still curious about my little cousin, so I turned around and prepared to take a look.
The greenhouse was very large, so there were several entrances. Chang Xuan came from the backyard, and when he entered, he saw the Xue family's four cousins, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, playing here.
Of the seven sons of the Xue family, five are Chang Chun's biological children, while the second and seventh are adopted sons, all adopted orphans.
When the second child came, he was five or six years old and could already remember things. The seventh child was brought back in his infancy.
Regarding their two children, Xue Qingsong and Chang Chun both treated them as if they were their own children. They were no different from their biological sons in receiving awards and scoldings.
The same is true for the uncle's family, who regard all seven children as their biological grandchildren.
Therefore, Chang Xuan has a very good relationship with these cousins.
Seeing Chang Xuan come in, the four children rushed up instantly.
"Cousin!" Xiao Qi rushed over and shouted sweetly, Xiao Qi was the best at acting coquettishly.
"Cousin!" Xiaoliu added a running start and rushed over. Chang Xuan felt as if he had been hit by a little wild boar. Fortunately, he had strong skills, otherwise he would have to squat on the ground.
"Again and again and again..." Lao Wu puffed up his chest and began to teach him like an older brother.
"I want to be beaten again!" The fourth man couldn't help but say.
Chang Xuan laughed out loud in an instant and rubbed the heads of his cousins one by one, "You guys have grown taller again. Where are the others?"
"The third brother is going to grandma's house, the eldest brother and the second brother are in front."
"Okay!" Chang Xuan reached out and picked up Lao Qi, who was holding his arm.
Lao Liu and Xiao Qi are actually only one year apart. But looking at Lao Liu, a chubby boy, Chang Xuan decided to hug his youngest brother.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi refused with a shy look, "Cousin, don't hug Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi is an adult now, an elder brother, so we can't hug him anymore."
"Huh? Xiao Qi has become an elder brother?" Chang Xuan said looking at Xiao Qi's fair and delicate face.
"Yes, I have a sister. She is so cute." Xiao Qi nodded seriously, "Cousin, let's go see my sister, okay?"
"Okay!" Chang Xuan nodded happily. He came here just to see this new little cousin.
Looking at the appearance of the seven cousins of the Xue family, Chang Xuan became curious. It seemed that this cousin was different from Cao Yingying and should still be very cute.
Xue Lei sat on a chair in the flower room, and Xue Ting was next to him. The two brothers chatted while watching Long Baoer running happily among the flowers.
Accompanying Long Baoer is Yi'er.
Yi'er hasn't seen many flowers either.
Long Bao'er was trapped in a small courtyard, and Yi'er was similarly trapped in that courtyard, which meant that the area for activities was larger. There was no other difference.
Compared with the lifeless smell of Guo's house and the stench that fills the yard, the flowers here are like brocade, and the aroma is lingering on the nose.
"Brother Yier, come here!" Long Baoer suddenly ran over and pulled his sleeve mysteriously.
