Chapter 51 He deserves it
If there was a tail behind Chang Xuan, it would probably be open now.
Long Baoer was still a child over three years old, so he couldn't resist the temptation. When he saw this beautiful sandbag, he walked towards Chang Xuan.
Chang Xuan caught his little cousin, held her on his lap, and handed the sandbag to her, "Long Baoer doesn't know how to play, right? Brother, let me teach you!"
Chang Xuan waved, and four, five, six, seven, and Yi'er all ran over. There were exactly six people together.
"Play with my sister!"
The boys are naturally happy.
Finally, I don’t have to sit there and watch their big brother tie up chicken feathers!
The sandbag game is simple. Six people are divided into two groups and attack each other. As long as you are hit, you lose. If you catch it, you will get an extra point.
The brothers have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and they control their strength very well. It also made Long Baoer hide and hide in excitement, but it wouldn't really hurt her.
The hall of the Xue family was huge, and the brothers didn't feel cramped at all even if they played here. They played until Long Baoer's face flushed and a trace of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Okay, okay, Long Bao'er, let's not play anymore." Chang Chun, who had seen enough of the excitement, called Long Bao'er over.
Long Baoer drank most of the bowl of rose water that was ready in his mouth.
"Is it fun?" Xue Qingsong asked with a smile.
"Well, it's fun!" Long Baoer's voice was still excited.
Running and hiding is not the key to excitement. The key is that there are so many people playing with her, which has never happened before.
At this time, Xue Lei had already tied the shuttlecock, but the expression on his face was a bit resentful.
It was naturally time-consuming to tie the chicken feathers beautifully, which made him a step slower than his cousin.
"Long Bao'er, see if you like this shuttlecock?" Xue Lei held the shuttlecock and squatted down to bring it to Long Bao'er.
Long Baoer opened his little mouth, his eyes full of surprise and envy, and reached out his hand to touch it carefully.
This shuttlecock was so beautiful, just like the two pheasants she saw in the afternoon.
"Long Bao'er, take it, this is for you!"
"Long Baoer's?"
"Correct!"
Long Baoer held Shuttlecock in his arms, "Thank you, brother!"
"Why are you being polite to brother?" Xue Lei laughed and stretched out his hand to gather the damp hair on Long Baoer's forehead. "Brother will play shuttlecock with you every day from now on."
"How to kick?" Long Baoer asked curiously.
"I, I, I, I know how, I, I, I, I teach my sister, sister..." Lao Wu rushed over impatiently.
I didn’t even enjoy playing with my sister just now.
The third child has long been unhappy.
He, the eldest brother and the second brother were not in the game just now. The eldest brother is busy tying shuttlecocks, and the second brother is bad at it, but he is really idle and has nothing to do.
Seeing his younger brothers playing with his younger sister, he was extremely jealous. How could the fifth child steal the spotlight now?
"How can there be so many sisters!" The third brother was unhappy and rushed to Long Bao'er first, putting on a slightly flattering smile, "Come on, sister, third brother will teach you!"
In the end, Lao San’s teaching plan came to nothing.
Because Long Baoer was too young, his short legs couldn't move at all. Walking is okay, trotting is a bit stumbling, let alone lifting one leg to kick a shuttlecock.
Every time the shuttlecock was thrown, it would already fall to the ground by the time she raised her legs.
Doing this several times made the little girl very tired, and also made Chang Chun and others laugh until their stomachs ached.
In the end, Chang Chun couldn't help it anymore, and stretched out his hands to hug the little girl into his arms, "Okay, okay, don't be in a hurry when you kick the shuttlecock, take your time."
It was late, so Chang Xuan also said goodbye, but he pointed at Long Baoer's little face with his finger, "My cousin is gone, come back to play with Long Baoer tomorrow."
The next day Chang Xuan failed to come.
The Chinese New Year is coming, and everyone is busy.
As a long-established nobleman with constant honors and favors, the Chang family has many relatives and friends to leave.
As the only heir of the Chang family, Chang Xuan naturally has to maintain these connections.
On the contrary, the Xue family was much more relaxed.
Except for the Chang family, no one in the capital is a relative of Xue Qingsong. Although he has many friends, most of them are military generals and all of them are subordinates.
He just needs to wait for those people to come to his door.
There were a lot of people coming to the door this year, mainly because Xue Qingsong's sister had been missing for many years. This time she finally found her, but found out that her sister had been dead for several years and only had an abused little niece left. Everyone knew this.
After all, the person has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment and is waiting for the Ministry of Punishment to re-examine and then be executed.
Re-trial is just a process. After all, Ji Zhong is an official of the imperial court. Although his official position is small, the person involved is General Xue. However, all the evidence was presented one by one and signed, making it impossible to change it.
However, because the crime occurred near the Chinese New Year, the time for interrogation and execution may be postponed to late autumn.
After all, the Yujin Dynasty never beheaded prisoners in the spring, and it was almost the Chinese New Year, so there was little hope of killing them before.
At this moment, another guest came to the door. He walked quickly towards Xue Qingsong after entering, "General, Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict."
"Huh? What imperial edict?" Xue Qingsong asked.
"That beast Ji Zhong, His Majesty said: If you don't kill this beast, how can you keep it for the New Year?" The man said with a smile, "It will be fine now."
"Hahahahahahaha!"
After the man reported the news in a hurry, he presented all the gifts he had brought and left.
Soon a decree came from the palace, asking Xue Qingsong to take the little girl with him when he entered the palace.
After Xue Qingsong received the order to thank him, he stuffed a purse into the palm of Eunuch Xuanzhi, "Eunuch Guo, Your Majesty, what is this?"
"General, if you relax, it's a good thing, a good thing!"
"I can rest assured that."
After Long Baoer came back from the Chang family, his whole person took on a new look.
Xue Qingsong stood up and went to greet her, "Whose baby is this? Why is it so beautifully dressed?"
"Uncle, it's Long Bao'er." Long Bao'er rushed up and hugged Xue Qingsong's thigh with a smile.
Chang Chun followed behind, "My mother and sister-in-law prepared a lot of clothes for Long Baoer, and also sent a carriage."
"carriage?"
"Before, I said that the carriage was empty, so I just mentioned it to my mother. I originally wanted to find a craftsman to build one after the New Year, but my mother had it built in a few days."
"My mother-in-law is still thoughtful." Xue Qingsong picked up Long Bao'er and said, "Have our holiday gifts been delivered?"
"Sent it over. Mother said she didn't need anything. She accepted it with her heart, but she gave it to Long Baoer in silver coins."
"Ah?" Xue Qingsong was stunned.
"Mother gave Long Baoer two shops and a village for her daily expenses." Chang Chun smiled and shook his head.
Xue Qingsong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Long Bao'er is only a few years old, we can't afford to raise him."
"My mother said that since Long Baoer said that she has a golden body, she shouldn't be stingy as a grandmother. Forget it, mother is not short of money anyway."
