Xu Cheng looked at Yu Manman and said with a pleased smile:
"Since then, we have been your dearest people, and you will have to come to the General's Mansion more often in the future."
"Yes, uncle," Yu Manman replied with a bowed head. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Eh....."
Hearing Yu Manman call his uncle for the first time, Xu Cheng's eyes couldn't help but moisten with excitement.
Seeing this, Wu affectionately took Yu Manman's hand and said with a hearty smile:
"As soon as Miss Cousin came, I looked at it very much, and it was really not a family, so I didn't enter a family."
Yu Manman was quite uncomfortable by the sudden enthusiasm, and reluctantly smiled:
"Auntie, just call me a vine"
"Good, good, sister-in-law is really blessed to give birth to such a beautiful and smart daughter"
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the room sank suddenly, and Wu couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, why didn't he open which pot to mention!
In the General's Mansion, no one dared to mention Xu Wei's name for more than ten years, how could he have a hot brain and break this taboo? Wu was remorseful.
Xu Cheng was also a little dissatisfied with the outspoken Wu family, but after all, it was his wife, so he could only protect it.
Raising his eyes, he secretly observed Xu Ruohong, who was sitting on a high seat, with a calm face and not speaking, and a trace of fear burned in his heart.
For Xu Ruohong, the three brothers and sisters of Xu Cheng have been extremely afraid since they were children, because they are not smiling all year round, and they have the momentum of being a military general, and they are very strict with several people. Even if the second sister is now a concubine, she obeys her father's words.
After pondering the words for a while, he said to Xu Ruohong:
"Father, why don't you ...... now Let's let the vine visit her mother first."
Xu Ruohong was silent, and only after a while did he snort in his nose:
"Hmm"
When Xu Cheng and the Wu family heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their father did not blame them.
Xu Li looked at Yu Manman and said softly:
"Cousin, come with me to my grandmother's room."
"Okay," Yu Manman nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Xu Li got up and saluted Xu Ruohong with a fist:
"Grandpa, I'll take Manman to visit my grandmother first"
"Well, you go," Xu Ruohong said in a deep voice.
"Grandchild retires"
Yu Manman followed Xu Li and bowed to Xu Ruohong, and then walked out of the hall.
After going out, Xu Li patted his chest and turned his head to Yu Manman:
"I was scared to death just now, and I thought my grandfather was going to be angry"
Yu Manman was amused by Xu Li's movements:
"Cousin, is my grandfather very strict?"
"Strict? he is more powerful than strict, he is simply cruel," Xu Li put his hands on his shoulders and made a frightened expression.
Hearing this, Yu Manman burst out laughing:
"Is that an exaggeration? I don't think he's like you say, he just doesn't like to laugh."
When Xu Li heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand:
"That's because you don't know your grandfather, but if you've been with him for a long time, you'll understand why I said that."
"Oh, is it?"
"Really, in the house, only grandmother's words can make grandfather listen"
Hearing this, Yu Manman couldn't help but feel a little curious about the grandmother who was lingering on the sick bed and was in serious health.
"Oh, what kind of person is grandmother?"
When Xu Li heard this, he was immediately energetic and began to count his grandmother's past:
"Grandmother is a legendary woman, when she was young, she followed her grandfather to the battlefield to attack the thieves and Huns, and sneaked into the enemy's grain and grass camp at night with two young generals, and burned the grain and grass of those people, and finally made my grandfather win the battle without a single soldier..........
Yu Manman listened to Xu Li's description while walking, and couldn't help but show a woman with the perseverance of a man, just like the ancient Chinese Mulan, who did not let her eyebrows go.
For these heroines, Yu Manman has always had respect, and when he heard that his grandmother was such a strange woman, he couldn't help but regret that he didn't come to the general's mansion to visit earlier, and he couldn't wait to see the seriously ill old man soon.
Xu Li couldn't finish talking about his grandmother's legendary life, and smashed his mouth, only to find that his mouth was a little dry.
Turning his head to look at Yu Manman, who bowed his head and was silent, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, as if he had talked too much, and whispered:
"Cousin, are you listening?"
Hearing this, Yu Manman raised his head and responded:
"Well, listening"
"Am I talking too much?" Xu Li scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"No, how could it be" Yu Manman shook his head.
"I didn't get better, I thought you thought I was a big man and a bit of a mother-in-law," Xu Li bared his teeth.
Seeing this, Yu Manman couldn't help but bow his head and chuckle, and then continued:
"No, cousin, let's go see my grandmother first."
"Okay, come with me," Xu Li replied briskly.
The General's Mansion is more than twice as large as the Taishou Mansion, and it takes a lot of time to walk, and after about half a pillar of incense, I finally arrived at a courtyard with Songranju written on it.
Yu Manman followed Xu Li into the courtyard, and the tip of his nose smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
There was a woman in gray clothes and gray hair standing at the door, and when she saw Xu Li coming, she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet her:
"Young Master Sun, you've come to see Madame."
"Well, Granny Tan, is grandmother better today?" Xu Li said softly.
Hearing this, Granny Tan sighed and said:
"Madame is still the same, coughing up blood at every turn"
"Then I'll go in and see her"
Granny Tan nodded, and then saw Yu Manman, who was dressed in white, and her eyes were shocked:
"It's ....... This is?!"
Seeing Granny Tan's shocked expression, she knew that she was thinking of her little aunt, so she explained:
"Granny Tan, this is the daughter of the little aunt, the cousin of the Taishou Mansion, Yu Manman"
"She, she's the daughter of the second miss?"
Granny Tan looked at Yu Manman, who was five points similar to Xu Wei, and the shock in her heart could not be dissipated for a long time.
"Yes, my cousin is here to visit my grandmother today, let's go first"
"Eh, well, Madame will be very happy to see Miss Xiao"
Granny Tan said busily with red eyes, and then said softly to Yu Manman:
"Little Miss, please follow me"
"Granny Xie Tan" Yu Manman also followed Xu Li's call.
"Little Miss is polite"
As soon as they entered the house, they heard a heart-rending cough.
Hearing this, Granny Tan's expression changed, and she hurriedly strode to the bedside.
Seeing this, Xu Li and Yu Manman couldn't help but become solemn, and then followed Granny Tan's back.
Under the dark yellow curtain was a quaint pearwood bed, and on the bed lay an old man with a withered face, like a candle in his last years.
The coughing sound reached everyone's ears, and Granny Tan caressed the old man's chest with one hand, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief with the other, and the coughing sound was dull and painful.
After a while, the coughing gradually stopped, and the old man seemed to have just experienced a life-and-death battle, lying on the bed tired and weak, closing his eyes and resting.
Granny Tan pinched the handkerchief, got up to cover the corner of the quilt for the old man, and then walked to the two of them, stretched out her hand to open the handkerchief, and said with red eyes:
"Madame is like this every day, she has to cough several times, and if there is no one around, she will die"
Yu Manman looked at the handkerchief in Granny Tan's hand, and there was a shocking ball of blood inside, proving that the old man on the bed was not lightly ill.
I couldn't help but feel a little dull in my chest, as if I couldn't breathe anymore.
