Chapter 40: Heart-to-Heart Talk

"Grandfather, let Mama Zhou hug me. Hanyu half-hung her head and bit her lower lip.

"Grandfather can't hold it?" Yan Maohua picked up Hanyu and said, "At such a young age, I have a lot of thoughts. ”

Hanyu shut up and didn't dare to speak, at this time she didn't know that Mama Zhou was kneeling in Shou'an Hall and hadn't gotten up yet.

"Tell the old lady that kneeling for more than an hour is enough, and I will take Hanyu back. ”

Yan Maohua walked out of the Buddha hall with Hanyu in his arms, and the maid at the door hung his head, only responding, and no one dared to say more.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Hanyu's fair face.

Hanyu turned her head and saw that her grandfather's handsome nose coincided with her father's face. Her nose was sour and her eyes were blurry.

"Can you blame your grandmother?" Yan Maohua asked.

Hanyu's voice was a little choked, and he only replied with one word, "Grievance." ”

"Tell me, why complain?"

"I am obviously my father's daughter, and my grandmother loves my father, why does she hate me so much?" Hanyu has no ability to remember, but she has memories since she was very young. The memory of the one-year-old went from being pampered to falling into the abyss, and she was so profound that she would never forget it even if she lived three more lives. In her memory, except for her father who would often hug her when she was very young, Hanyu had never been so close to any relative, and for a while she forgot to live a lifetime, crying like a child, and all the grievances in her previous life turned into tears at this moment.

Seeing this, Yan Maohua sighed silently. I think that when the Xu family first got married, he acted generously at that time, and his temperament was also empathetic. I don't know when it started, Xu's mind became more and more narrow-minded, and they had estranged quarrels, but fortunately, the eldest son was smart and clever since he was a child, and persuaded Xu to say a lot of words. Until the eldest son was gone, the Xu family completely lost his mind and became unreasonable.

Hanyu choked up and continued, "Born with jade...... Isn't it a blessing to relatives, but a short life?" she said not only to her father, but also to herself.

"Hanyu, you need to remember that your father's death has nothing to do with you. ”

Yan Hanyu burst into tears, full of grievances, "Is my father's death really irrelevant to me?"

"Yes, it's none of your business. Yan Maohua said.

Hanyu nodded slowly, "I see, grandfather." ”

Waiting for Yan Maohua to carry Hanyu all the way back to Yusheng Residence, Mama Hong also returned to the mansion, and when she saw the old man holding the young lady, she was surprised in her heart, and bent forward, "Master, come on, slave maid." ”

Yan Maohua responded lightly, took the person to Mama Hong, and said, "Hanyu has been kneeling for more than an hour, see if her leg is injured?"

"Yes, sir. "Mama Hong should respond.

After Master Yan explained, he waited in Hanyu's study, flipped through a few of her books, and looked at the notebooks on her desk one by one, which were clean and tidy, and the handwriting was delicate.

Mama Hong carefully rubbed Hanyu's legs, and asked people to put hot water on her bruised knees.

Hanyu's knees were stiff and unconscious, Mama Hong's kneading technique was dexterous, Hanyu also felt a lot more comfortable, her legs were no longer numb, and she opened her mouth to thank you, "Mama, thank you." ”

"The eldest lady doesn't need to be polite, this is all the slave's business. Mama Hong said humbly.

While he was talking, Tingxue came to Yushengju with a food box.

"Miss, this is made by Mrs., it's all Miss's favorite food, Miss, eat it while it's hot. ”

"Okay, thank my mother for me. ”

The eldest lady told the eldest lady to move less in the past two days, and she had to bother Mama Hong to take care of the eldest lady more. ”

"It is the duty of a slave to take care of the eldest lady, listen to the snow girl rest assured. Mama Hong replied.

"Miss, let's eat, the slave and maid will go back to pay errands. ”

Mama Hong carried the food box, the food box is yellow rosewood, dark brown, fine texture, smooth color, rectangular shape, double-layered, the cover edge is inlaid with gold edge, and the food box is also finely carved with a jade lotus flower with rattan edge, which is very exquisite.

Yan Hanyu thought of her grandfather, so she didn't rush to let Mama Hong open the food box, but only asked, "My grandfather hasn't left yet, has he?"

"I haven't left yet, in the small study. ”

"Grandfather should have something to say, let my grandfather come and sit here. ”

Yan Maohua came in and sat on the chair next to him, holding a blue-sealed book in his hand.

"Is there a big problem with your legs?"

"It's just a little red and bruised, and it's fine. Hanyu replied.

"It's okay, it's okay to have a good rest these two days. Yan Maohua then asked, "Are you reading the historical records?"

Yan Hanyu nodded, "Yes, grandfather." ”

"These books are free to flip through at your leisure and you can learn a few words without having to go into the details. ”

Hanyu replied, "I know my grandfather." ”

Yan Maohua knew that Hanyu was studious, and knew that she read more ancient words in the Book of Poetry, so she didn't think much about it, put down the book in her hand, and said another thing, "You sent someone to Gu's house today?"

Yan Hanyu said bluntly, "Aunt Fang has an accident, I want to help her." ”

"Although Mrs. Gu has a gentle character and a good temperament, the Gu family is different, the Gu family has been a businessman for three generations, and the merchants are good at calculation, and they will try their best to cling to the powerful, so we can't get too close to the Gu family. ”

"Does grandfather mean to keep me away from Aunt Fang?"

"She taught you a few days of homework, and you are half a master, and Mrs. Gu also has some reputation in Bianjing, so it's not for you to stay away from her. I know you want to help her, unless she is not a housewife, we will help her and save her from fire and water, which is naturally reasonable, but if it is someone else's inner house, we are inconvenient to ask. ”

Hanyu lowered her eyes and thought carefully, it was true, even if Aunt Fang was not in harmony with the Gu family, she could not interfere, this was the Gu family's internal affairs. She spoke slowly, "Grandfather, I understand. ”

"You have always been wise and sensible, and my grandfather believed that you could understand it. Today, I am very puzzled, why don't you want to entertain guests?"

She whispered, "I let my grandfather down. ”

"Grandfather doesn't blame you, there's nothing right or wrong about this. Your grandmother is partial to the Xu family, so she thinks that what you do is arrogant and rude, and she is unwilling to entertain the Xu family. I am very pleased that you are as wise as your father. It's just that I'm also worried in my heart, it's not a good thing that you have so many thoughts at a young age. ”

"Grandfather, Hanyu just reads books and doesn't think much about it. Yan Hanyu hung her head and didn't dare to admit it.

Yan Maohua didn't puncture her words, but continued, "The Xu family has fallen in recent years, because these two generations of descendants are not as good as Master Xu, and in the eyes of the entire Xu family, only this generation of Uncle Xu has some brains. I recommended him and gave him this opportunity only because of your grandmother. Grandfather is not a kind-hearted person, but he is not ruthless, the Xu family is almost in trouble, and if he can pull a hand, his grandfather naturally can't stand by and watch. ”

Yan Hanyu listened to a large number of words from her grandfather, and suddenly understood in her heart that her grandfather wanted her to speak her heart. Her grandfather asked her why she didn't want to entertain the Xu family, and she only replied with one sentence and wanted to get by.

She said weakly, "Grandfather, if grandmother can give Hanyu some of her closeness to the sisters of the Xu family, Hanyu will not refuse grandmother to entertain guests." ”

Yan Maohua shook his head helplessly and chuckled, "You girl, I don't want to say that I won't force you anymore, have dinner early, don't be hungry, I'll go back first." ”

Yan Hanyu looked at the back of his grandfather getting up and leaving, and stopped talking.

She can't say that she has the ability to predict, she knows that the Xu sisters are too hypocritical, and she doesn't want to entertain the Xu sisters with a false promise.
