Chapter 18 Xiangyuan Relationship
Yuan Zheng's words were really ugly, but after listening to it, Gu Chao understood it, this is indeed the truth, no matter how lustful a man is, he will not want to always look at the same face, but this matter will definitely not be so simple!
She suppressed her anger and said, "You say no, it's not, but what do you mean by bringing her back to the house?" ”
"Ah Chao, this little girl is very pitiful, she has no father and no mother when she is a child, she has been living in the northwest with Hui Niang and her husband for so many years, and Hui Niang sent her to her mother last month. I see that this child is smart and sensible, and my mother likes her very much, so I plan to put her in the name of our husband and wife, and my mother has agreed, and I will discuss it with you now. Yuan Zheng saw that she didn't continue to make trouble, and his tone calmed down.
"Discuss? What are you all going to discuss with me? Gu Chao snorted slightly and twisted his head to the side.
"Okay, let me tell you, okay? In short, recognizing this child will not affect your life at all, how you have been and what you will be in the future. Yuan Zheng almost half-coaxed her.
Gu Chao always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he turned his head and pulled his sleeve and said, "That's ...... You can't treat Xiang'er badly just because of her. ”
Yuan Zheng is speechless, isn't this nonsense! But in order to avoid quarreling again, he could only continue to coax: "Ah Chao, Xiang'er is my only flesh and blood, who can cross her in my heart?" But since I recognize Yuan'er, I should treat her well and truly fulfill my responsibilities as a father. Of course, I won't force you to do the same, but you have to get by on the big picture. ”
Yuan'er? Even the name has been chosen! Gu Chao pouted a little surprised.
"Later, let's go over and see Yuan'er together, you prepare a few meeting gifts for her, it doesn't need to be too expensive, just follow the red gold and jewels that Xiang'er's Yuan family girls have, and add a few clothes and jewelry suitable for six or seven-year-old girls, which is also to save face for us." Yuan Zheng couldn't help but confess a few more words.
Gu Chao glanced at him, "The eldest daughter of my dignified Zhou cabinet chief, do you even want to teach you a basic etiquette?" ”
In all fairness, when Mama Jin was not in the house, although Gu Chao had a lot of problems, he was still a little cute, and Yuan Zheng secretly laughed: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing for my husband again." ”
※※※※
The old lady and her entourage were welcomed into the main hall by Xie Fu's family, and after the maids served tea and snacks, Doudou couldn't sit still.
"Grandmother, I want to go see my sister." Doudou looked at the old lady and had a little expectation that he would be able to see his sister soon.
"Okay, grandmother is going with you." The old lady knew that her son and Gu Chao must have had a good explanation, so it was better to let the two granddaughters meet first.
"Xiaofuzi daughter-in-law, you go and do things by yourself, Sister Xiang has never liked many people, just have Aunt Cui by my side." The old lady pulled Doudou, and Mother Wu waited on the side and walked towards Xiangyi Courtyard together.
Yuan Xiang has been in good spirits these days, but he has already put on a jacket in early October, because his figure is too slender and petite, and he doesn't look bloated. She sat on a circle chair under the window, holding a book in her hand and studying carefully, with a faint smile on her delicate and white face, so quiet and beautiful that people couldn't bear to disturb it.
Hearing the sound of footsteps of varying degrees at the door, Yuan Xiang raised his head suddenly, and a pair of clear eyes suddenly looked a little panicked, until he saw that the person who came was his grandmother, this uneasiness dissipated slightly, as sharp as an old lady, and the trace of panic in her granddaughter's eyes had pierced her heart.
What will happen to this child? Gongsun Divine Doctor can heal her body, but such a sensitive, fragile and unsociable personality is fine in front of her parents, once she goes out......
Yuan Xiang gently closed the book and stood up, bowed his head and blessed the old lady, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Xiang'er has seen grandmother." ”
The old lady calmed down and said softly: "Sister Xiang looks so good today, grandmother likes it very much, come to grandmother's side." ”
Yuan Xiang's appearance follows her father more, but her eyes are very similar to Gu Chao, but in Doudou's eyes, this similarity alone is enough to make her feel that her sister looks very similar to herself, and she feels very close to her heart before she can speak.
However, Yuan Xiang's too thin figure was much beyond Doudou's expectations, according to his father, his sister was two years older than him, but it was obvious that she was neither as tall nor strong as herself. Of course, her "lentil" actually has little to do with Zhuang.
"Grandmother, you haven't talked to my sister about me yet." Doudou was a little anxious to talk to Yuan Xiang, and pulled the old lady's sleeve.
When the old lady saw her lively and lovely appearance, the haze in her heart dissipated a lot, and she pulled the young lady one by one and said with a smile: "Sister Xiang, this is your sister Sister Yuan, you have to take care of your sister as a sister." ”
Yuan Xiang noticed that there was a little girl beside her grandmother just now, but she had never spoken to a stranger and didn't dare to look at her. Hearing her grandmother say that this was her sister, she raised her head and looked at Doudou timidly.
"You ......" Yuan Xiang was stunned after just one look, in addition to the nurse and the maid around her, the people she is most familiar with are her parents, her father loves her very much, but after all, he is going out to do things, every day, that is, he can see him every morning and evening, and her mother is the person she sees the most, but this sister looks exactly the same as her mother.
Doudou has always been enthusiastic about people who are pleasing to the eye, and regardless of whether Yuan Xiang wants to or not, he took up her slender little hand and said with a smile: "Sister, my name is Yuan Yuan, but you are my sister, you can also call me Doudou." ”
Yuan Xiang was a little resistant to the touch of others, but once Doudou looked too similar to Gu Chao, she couldn't bear to refuse; Second, Doudou's strength was simply too great for her, and she couldn't break free from that "little devil's claw" at all.
Doudou grew up in the Great Northwest Guard, and the children she came into contact with were all raised free-range like her, compared to those children, she was quite Sven as a person who was taught the rules very "strictly" by Yuan Hui.
Yuan Xiang's weak and delicate spirit aroused her strong desire to protect, and regardless of whether she was still a little kid with no ability, and whether others needed it or not, she secretly made up her mind in her heart that she would protect this sister!
Doudou is willing to get close to the old lady with Yuan Xiang, and it is not strange that she is willing to get along with the old lady, after all, her character is there, and she can get along with anyone. But Yuan Xiang accepted that he had a sister so lightly, and it could be seen that she had a good impression of Doudou.
Xiangyuan, fate, it seems that the meeting of these two children is destined by God, and the old lady is even more sure of her practice of recognizing Doudou as her granddaughter.
