25. Outsider
Because of Xiao Miao's cautious temperament, she failed to erase Yao Qishen's identity as a great-grandson in the ceremony, but exposed her thoughts, so for a long time after that, Xiao Miao was cautiously dormant, and she became more and more gentle and considerate to Yao Keqing's sisters and brothers.

But Yao Keqing has never been at ease, what awaits them behind this gentle and considerate is the abyss from which she will never recover, and she urgently needs to strengthen her strength in order to protect herself.
"Miss, this is the first time that a slave has gone out with Miss!" The family guards filial piety, usually does not let people out of the house, the little girls in the family are suffocated, now Yao Keqing goes out, and the girls who can come out are very happy, at this moment Guiyuan generally secretly lifted the curtain of the carriage to look out, while saying.
"Why don't you put your hands down and let others see what they say!" Usually Peaches looks like a no-frame, but at this moment, she is training, but with a full momentum of a big girl, she bluffed Gui Yuan and lowered the curtain, and made a grimace at the taro with Peaches on her back.
Since returning to the mansion that day, Yao Keqing has been feeling uneasy, and with her current strength, she can't protect herself and her younger brother, so she can only go to her grandfather's house for help. made an excuse and said that he should go to his grandfather's house to walk around after he was out of filial piety, but fortunately, the old lady was still annoyed with her, and she didn't interrogate her in detail.
This time she came out with only three little girls, peaches, taro and longan, Mama Fang was left in the house by her to take care of Yao Qishen, pomegranate is to watch the yard, with the car is the Guiyuan family, it is also a coincidence, when she named Guiyuan, it was just a little casual, I didn't expect that Guiyuan was originally surnamed Gui, and now even her family calls her Guiyuan, and the previous name is long gone.
This is the first time she has gone to her grandfather's house since she was reborn, Yao Keqing couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart, Yao's house is not far from Fang's house, and she will arrive soon.
The carriage was driven directly outside the second gate, and when the carriage curtain was opened, I saw a servant woman in Tsing Yi carrying a small sedan chair waiting there, a pretty girl and a middle-aged grandmother wearing a dark horse-faced skirt stood next to the sedan chair. The old lady has been waiting for breakfast since she had eaten. ā
Except for his grandfather, Yao Keqing has never been hugged like this, a little uncomfortable, struggling to come down, the grandmother is not annoyed, carefully put her on the ground, and quipped: "When the little lady was born, the old slave hugged her, but now she is shy?" "This grandmother is none other than Fang's grandmother Mei, but because her man was the chief steward of the Fang family, Fang's couldn't bear to separate their husband and wife, so he didn't let her marry into the Yao family with him.
Seeing that Yao Keqing's figure was small, but his every move revealed a dusty temperament, which reminded Mei of Fang Yue, who died early, and couldn't help but feel hot in the corners of his eyes, and he was afraid that others would see the joke, so he hurriedly turned his back and wiped it indiscriminately, and waited for Yao Keqing to get on the sedan chair, personally helped her put down the curtain, and walked to the main courtyard with the attendant on the side of the sedan chair.
Fang's house has a history of hundreds of years, but because the Fang family has been repaired and maintained very well in the past dynasties, it does not look dilapidated at all, and the ancient building reveals a peaceful and simple atmosphere, compared with the magnificence of the Changxiang Hou Mansion, the Fang Mansion is more majestic, and the whole house gives people a deep and introverted impression.
As soon as Yao Keqing entered the door, she was held in her arms by her grandmother, and as soon as she opened her mouth and called "grandmother", Lin hugged her and only called "My son!" The people on the side also burst into tears.
Yao Keqing is a cold character, but he can't stand the crying of a group of people, thinking that compared to the people of the Yao family, the Fang family is more like his relatives, coupled with the memories of his past and present lives, he can't help but redden.
In the end, it was Old Man Fang who stopped the crying of the room with a "cough", "Okay, haven't you been talking about Qing girl for a long time?" Did you have a lot of stuff for her? Now that people are coming, why do you only remember to cry? Don't you want to give up those things? ā
"Phew!" Lin took a sip, but he also stopped crying, but he still stayed upstairs and Yao Keqing didn't let go, hugged Yao Keqing and sat on the couch, "You old man will talk nonsense!" I've got something ready, but you, I'm going to see what you're going to give to my granddaughter. ā
"I was prepared!" Old Man Fang had a long beard and looked confident. The children and grandchildren who were accustomed to seeing the two old men bickering laughed and said nothing.
"Good boy, grandmother, I haven't seen you in years! You have just left your mother's filial piety period, and you have to keep filial piety for your grandfather, this delay is four or five years, and I still saw the two of you when Brother Shen was born! Lin touched Yao Keqing's face carefully and muttered.
"Not really!" The eldest aunt Liao Shi also sighed, "My niece came when she was more than a year old, don't look at her small at that time, but her eyes are sharp, her memory is good, she only lived for a few days, and everyone in the family recognized it!" I'm going to test my niece today, and I'll see if she remembers. As he spoke, he pulled all the grandchildren of the Fang family over to ask Yao Keqing to recognize them.
Lin scolded with a smile: "Aren't you embarrassed!" No matter how good her memory is, after so many years, the child has also changed, where can she still recognize it. ā
If it was Yao Keqing who was not reborn, she would definitely not recognize it, even if she was smart, she didn't have the ability to remember it when she was so young, but now that she was reborn, she had the memories of her previous life to use as a basis, so naturally it would not be difficult for her, and after thinking about it, she said to Liao with a smile: "If I recognize it, will my aunt be rewarded?" ā
"As long as you can recognize half of it, your grandmother will reward you heavily!" Lin didn't believe that she could remember, and asked someone to bring a pair of silk inlaid treasure beads golden phoenix hairpin, "This is the dowry gift that your grandfather gave me back then, and I put it in the dowry to marry me, and I didn't even want to give it when your mother asked me for it, if you answer correctly today, I will give it to you." ā
Yao Keqing vaguely remembered that this pair of golden phoenix hairpins seemed to be from the previous dynasty, and they were given to the Fang family by the founding emperor. Although it is a year, whether it is workmanship or materials, it is a treasure among the treasures, especially the pair of beads held in the phoenix's mouth, which is a golden pearl as big as a dragon's eye, and the golden pearl is a priceless rare thing in the market, not to mention that it is still such a big two that are exactly the same as the same, these two gold pearls alone are already priceless, plus the various gems inlaid on the phoenix's body, as well as the crystal clear and thin wings made of gems by the phoenix's tail. This pair of phoenix hairpins should be the things at the bottom of the box pressed by Old Madam Fang!
This pair of phoenix hairpins is too valuable, Yao Keqing didn't want it, and tilted his head to look at the Lin family, "Grandmother wants to save money for the eldest aunt?" Qing'er doesn't follow! ā
"I don't need the old lady to save me for me, the meeting gift for my niece, my aunt can still afford it!" As he spoke, Liao took a pair of jade bracelets from his wrists. Yao Keqing saw that he was also wearing a pair of bracelets on his wrists, and knew that these bracelets had been prepared for him a long time ago, so he was not polite, got out of Lin's arms, walked in front of the row of young men and women standing still, and saluted them one by one. Confessed all the way, but no one admitted the mistake.
"The third cousin of the second uncle's family should have followed the second uncle and the second aunt to take office, so I am not here today, this one I have never seen should be the fourth cousin,... Is Qing'er right? Yao Keqing identified the people one by one, and then looked up at everyone.
She remembered that her second aunt was a little weak, and the second uncle was a little romantic, if it wasn't for her grandmother watching, the second aunt was afraid that she wouldn't be able to suppress the women that the second uncle brought back. So this time when the second uncle went to work, my grandmother left all the children of the second uncle by her side and held them in her hands, so as not to have any crooked thoughts about those aunts.
At this moment, even Old Man Fang was stunned, and at this time, the seven-year-old third cousin Fang Lijuan took her hand and asked, "How did you recognize it?" I also deliberately changed places with my second sister! ā
Yao Keqing smiled and said: "The third cousin looks like the eldest aunt, so I naturally recognize it!" Saying that, he came out the basis one by one, "Actually, the second cousin and the third cousin are not easy to identify, and the others are easy to recognize!" The eldest cousin is the oldest and the tallest; I heard that the second cousin has been practicing calligraphy very hard recently, so there is always a smell of ink on the second cousin; The eldest cousin has just been taking care of the fourth cousin, and the demeanor of the eldest sister is evident everywhere; The rest are naturally the fourth cousin. ā
"Sister Qing is really smart!" Liao stuffed the pair of bracelets into Yao Keqing's hand, "I also deliberately let Sister Juan and Sister Xiu change positions, but I still couldn't hide it from you!" ā
"Come on! Sister Qing come here! Lin beckoned to Yao Keqing, "I gave this pair of Feng Hai to your mother, but your mother was too precious and refused to ask for it, I know she likes this, but I feel sorry for my wife and me, but I am a lot older, where do I still use this!" Grandmother gave it to you today, don't put it off, just accept it for your mother! ā
Seeing that the Lin family had said this, Yao Keqing could only accept it, and his heart was heavy for a while, for his mother and for himself. As soon as he talked about Yao Keqing's mother, who died early, the atmosphere in the house was a little dull, and Liao was busy with words to interrupt, and let a few children go to the garden to play, but Yao Keqing had something to discuss with his grandfather and grandmother, so he said a few words to Lin, Lin saw Yao Keqing's serious face, and knew that what she was going to say must not be a trivial matter, so on the grounds that she wanted to be closer to her granddaughter, only Yao Keqing sent everyone else down, and Old Man Fang also stayed under Lin's signal.
Yao Keqing told the Miao family and Xiao Miao's actions one by one, and just when they said that when they were in addition to the service that day, they intended to erase Yao Qishen's identity, the old man Fang slapped the table angrily, "It's the opposite!" The Yao family is so rebellious, is this because I died? Thinking that Yao Keqing was also surnamed Yao, Old Man Fang had no choice but to swallow the next words!
"Grandfather, grandmother, Qing'er came here today, one is to visit your two elders, and the other is to ask for something!" Yao Keqing knelt in front of the second elder and said.
Lin hurriedly pulled Yao Keqing up, "Good boy, the flesh and blood of the family, whatever you ask for or not, as long as it is for the good of your brothers and sisters, your grandfather and grandmother will definitely help you do it!" ā
"Thank you, grandfather, grandmother!" Yao Keqing solemnly thanked him, and said what he asked for one by one, after listening to Yao Keqing's words, the second elder was not much shocked, Old Man Fang pondered for a moment and said, "The three things you said, the first two are not difficult, but the latter one is a little difficult to do, I'm afraid it will take more time!" ā
"Except for asking my grandfather to help find two martial arts instructors, the other two things can be done slowly." Yao Keqing hurriedly explained.
"It's just a Qing girl, I don't object to letting Brother Shen practice martial arts, after all, there are not a few men who are both civil and military, and it is also a good name to say it, but you are a girl, why do you have to follow it?" The Lin family only half agreed with Yao Keqing's idea.
"With the second aunt's scheming, one plan can't be reborn, and it's impossible to prevent it." Yao Keqing insisted on her thoughts unwaveringly, "The inner courtyard is her master, if she uses any vicious schemes, where is Qing'er her opponent." ā
"That's it!" Old Man Fang made a final decision, "These few things, my grandfather should be down, and they will be sent to you in a few days, just say that it is your mother's dowry, which was borrowed by the Fang family for a few years, and now it is going to be returned!" ā
