In Xiao Chen's yard, inside the room,

Xiao Chen sat on the couch with his back against the big pillow, and sat motionless for a while, his eyes kept looking at a blue and white thin-necked porcelain vase in front of him. The porcelain vase of the pen and the pavilion is www.biquge.info with a bright red camellia, one of which blooms two flowers and grows side by side.

The camellia is not common, and it is very rare for the little maid to show her when she first picks it in the morning, and then inserts it in a plum bottle and raises it with water. At this time, the camellia is still very bright, as if it still carries the dew that has not dispersed in the morning.

Xiao Chen looked at it for a while, but suddenly reached out and married the plum blossom tassel jasper hairpin on the bun, put it in his hand and looked at it, and then gently rubbed it with his hand, but finally sighed, held the hairpin in his hand and closed her eyes like this, no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

At the same time, on the other side of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, it was also a little uneven.

Aunt Xia knelt on the ground at this time, and Pear Blossom cried with the rain and said to Zhao Guogong, who was sitting on the chair a little absent-mindedly: "Grandpa, this time Xiao'er was persuaded to drop out of school, and I really can't complain about Xiao'er and the concubine, it is really hateful to the students of the White Deer Cave Academy, and they all laugh at Xiao'er for not even reciting poems." Xiao'er couldn't get angry, so he fought with the students there. The teachers of that academy are also partial, and will only favor other students. The concubine thought that if she wanted to study, she couldn't study, and she could find a good gentleman to teach Xiao'er when she returned to the mansion, so why stay in the academy to teach and be bullied. ”

said with an affectionate tearful look, and said: "What's more, the concubine really misses her grandfather, and she can't eat well without her grandfather and concubine, and no one can sleep well, so I came back with Xiao'er." ”

Yes, Meng Xiao was persuaded to drop out of the White Deer Cave Academy. Aunt Xia and Meng Wei spent more than half a month on the road, and then studied in the White Deer Cave Academy for more than half a month, and finally because they couldn't get along with the other students in the academy, they broke a student who laughed at him because they couldn't read poetry, and finally they were persuaded to quit by the head of the academy, and then it took more than half a month to come back. Looking at it this way, Aunt Xia and Meng Xiao went on a long trip to study, but most of the time was spent on the journey.

Zhao Guogong listened but was a little indifferent, and said: "Come back, I'll come back, and I won't drive you out, master." ”

Aunt Xia continued to cry and continued: "The concubine naturally understands that the master will not be so ruthless, and the concubine is worried about the lady. If the lady knew that the concubine and the concubine had returned, she would probably not be happy. And if you know that Xiao'er was persuaded to drop out of school, I am afraid that I will punish Xiao'er, and I will ask the concubine for not teaching Xiao'er effectively. ”

This is very doorway, and it hints very vaguely that Zhao Guogong is a ruthless person, and he will not welcome them back, and will take the opportunity to punish them.

Meng Xiao on the side also stepped forward, pulled Zhao Guogong's sleeve, and said, "Father, you must save me, I don't want to be punished by my wife." ”

If it was in the past, Zhao Guogong would have comforted his concubine and son and wanted to support Aunt Xia's mother and son, but today he seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't even listen to Aunt Xia's words carefully. Even Meng Xiao pulled his clothes and shook them, but he was indifferent.

This had to make Aunt Xia, who quietly raised her head to observe Zhao Guogong while bringing rain to pear blossoms, very disappointed, and wondered if Xiao Chen had found a new love for Zhao Guogong when she was away, so that Zhao Guogong's heart was not on her.

Aunt Xia tried hard to think about whether she had missed anything from the time she entered the mansion to the present, whether she was suspected of being such a woman.

Zhao Guogong naturally didn't know what Aunt Xia was thinking, so he let Aunt Xia and Meng Xiao surround him, but he didn't speak. After a while, as if thinking of something, he suddenly got up from his chair and raised his feet to walk out.

When Aunt Xia saw him like this, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, where are you going?"

Zhao Guogong said: "You are not afraid that Mrs. will ask you to offend, sir, I will go to Mrs. to intercede for you." ”

Aunt Xia was stunned for a moment, because she found that Zhao Guogong used the word "intercession". When did Zhao Guogong show weakness in front of Xiao Chen.

But before she could react more, Zhao Guogong had already left the door and followed the figure away.

When Zhao Guogong arrived at Xiao Chen's courtyard, Xiao Chen's had already calmed down. He opened the door and let the maids in, who were busy packing up their jewellery while the maids were waiting.

The maid outside didn't notice it for a while, so she let Zhao Guogong break in. In the past two or three months of Aunt Xia's absence, the relationship between Zhao Guogong and Xiao Chen's family has eased, although Zhao Guogong has not stayed in Xiao Chen's house, but he will not come into this courtyard as before, just to speak coldly to Xiao Chen's family or for Aunt Xia's mother and children. Sometimes Zhao Guogong would even ask people to send some things to the yard to curry favor with Xiao Chen.

In view of this, the maids in the courtyard felt more and more that Aunt Xia was really a scourge, and as soon as she left the Guogong Mansion, the relationship between the grandfather and his wife would not be better. They had a very positive attitude towards the relationship between Zhao Guogong and Xiao Chen's family in the future, thinking that their wife had finally been able to see the moon - provided that Aunt Xia did not return to the mansion.

Therefore, Aunt Xia and Meng Xiao's return to the house not only made Han so annoyed, but also made the maids in this courtyard very heavy.

Zhao Guogong's attitude has improved, and Xiao Chen's family is not as indifferent as before, so when he saw Zhao Guogong coming in at this time, he didn't drive him away.

After Zhao Guogong came in, he stood aside and glanced at Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen's hands kept moving, and continued to pack up his jewelry, picking out the jewelry and putting it into the packing box one by one.

After Zhao Guogong stood for a while, he turned sideways slightly, and suddenly said, "Did you go to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion today to see the eldest princess of Shoushan?"

Xiao Chen let out an "um", and then there was no more to say.

Zhao Guogong asked again: "Is the eldest princess's health okay?"

Xiao Chen said: "It looks healthy." ”

Then Zhao Guogong seemed to have no words again, and after coming over for a while, he continued to ask, "Have you seen anyone in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?"

Xiao Chen asked, "Who did you see?"

Zhao Guogong paused for a while, then looked at Xiao Chen with complicated eyes, looked at the casual look on her face, and then said, "It's nothing." Saying that, he said, "By the way, Aunt Xia and Xiao'er have returned home." ”

Xiao Chen still didn't have any superfluous expression on his face, but nodded to show that he knew, and said, "Han Mo has already told me." Now that she's back, let her go back to her original yard. It's just that her yard has been empty for a long time and no one has cleaned it, so I'm afraid there will be dust, so I have to let the maid sweep it first. ”

Zhao Guogong asked again: "You don't have anything to say to me or ask me?" said as if explaining, "It's not ......that I asked Aunt Xia to go back to the house."

Xiao Chen said: "I know, grandpa doesn't have to explain. He also said: "Grandpa doesn't have to worry, I won't embarrass Aunt Xia and Meng Wei." If they are all safe and secure in the house, I am also happy that Aunt Xia can serve and take care of my grandfather well. ”

Zhao Guogong was suddenly disappointed, he wanted to say a lot of things but couldn't say them, so he had to look at Xiao Chen with complicated eyes.
