The Xiao family has a garden in the capital that covers a large area, and Xiao Ruo went there today.

Unlike the military compound where the Yang family is located, which looks solemn everywhere, the Xiao family's manor is more meaningful. The layout of the manor is exquisite, and the ingenious arrangement of flowers, corridors and rockeries gives the manor its unique charm.

Walking along the road, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but admire the hills and ravines in the chest of the builder of the manor, which should be partly a reference to the design of the Sushi garden, the depth of the scenery, and the contrast of flowers and trees make the whole manor extremely harmonious, and it looks like a painting from all angles.

"The garden is up early, grandpa usually doesn't live here, most of the time in Yuquan Mountain, here are some old people in the family, but it is the old house of the family in Beijing. If there is no big event, it will not be here. ”

It was Xiao Qin who came to Xiao Ruo's house early in the morning to pick up the large troops. Xiao Ruo brought a lot of people today, the last time she went to Yang's house, she only brought a few children, and Anthony and they were all waiting outside. Today, not only the big butler, but also Bai Ze, who is not very obtrusive, and Qi Qiong, who never talks much, are all by his side.

"The garden is well maintained." Xiao Ruo sincerely praised that the beautiful scenery will always make people feel a lot better.

Xiao Qin saw that she liked it, and couldn't help but be more happy, and secretly admired his grandfather's decision, if it was in Yuquan Mountain, it was estimated that it would not have such a good effect.

"Who's here today?" Yang Bing has been here a few times, and although she likes the scenery here, she hasn't forgotten the purpose of coming today. asked about the "attendees".

Hearing Yang Bing's culture, Xiao Qin hurriedly turned around and said respectfully: "Everyone in the family is here, and in addition, the ancestor is also there."

Originally, Yang Bing was very dissatisfied with Xiao Qin becoming so old-fashioned as soon as she came here, but after hearing this, she couldn't care about that. Instead, he exclaimed: "The old ancestor is also there?"

Immediately grabbed Xiao Ruo worriedly: "Ruoruo, don't talk nonsense today, be polite, do you know......?"

Xiao Ruo frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, Mom?" Today they are all elders. I don't know how to be polite anymore, why are you so nervous? Isn't it all agreed? Rest assured. ”

"But ......" Yang Bing opened her mouth, she had already entered the manor, she couldn't say a lot of things, but if Xiao didn't know about the old man and did something, it wouldn't end well.

As if to settle his mind, he looked around. didn't see anyone, Yang Bing covered his ears and persuaded himself that if he couldn't see it, he definitely didn't, he took a deep breath, and didn't care about Xiao Qin, and said to Xiao Ruo with a serious expression: "Ruoruo, promise Mom, don't worry about the old ancestors, the old man is old, and he may be a little ...... Stubborn, let's leave him alone. Just respect the elderly, okay?"

After looking at Yang Bing for a long time, and finding the anxiety in her eyes, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but guess what kind of person that old ancestor was, but it can be seen that her mother was so worried, so she still held her hand and comforted: "Got it, Mom, don't worry." I understand. ”

Feeling the coldness of his subordinates, Xiao Ruo's heart sank, and he slowly crossed a few traces of internal force, glanced at Anthony and Bai Ze behind him, and saw that they also nodded understandingly. And he was relieved.

Xiao Qin lowered his head, when he didn't see it. Anything related to the ancestor is not something he can insert, but he admires his second aunt Yang Bing very much, and knows that there must be ears on the wall here, so he still told Xiao Ruo about it, no wonder she is the only one who can be sincerely accepted by Xiao Ruo.

In the next part of the road, the atmosphere was a lot more solemn, but Xiao Ruo's thinking was simple, the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, with her strength, she was not afraid of anything.

The most important thing is that she wants nothing.

If you don't ask for anything, it naturally doesn't matter.

No matter how rigid and unreasonable that old ancestor is, can she still do anything with him? It's a big deal to wait for him to speak, and use his strength to seal his ears.

Turning another rockery, Xiao Ruo and the others had already arrived at the gate of the main house.

Shaking Yang Bing's hand again, and glancing at the rest of the people, Xiao Ruo followed Xiao Qin over the high threshold and walked in.

Compared to the place just walked, this place is a lot more simple, although the yard is not small, but there are not many furnishings. On the left hand side is a small lotus pond, half of which is covered by dense lotus leaves, but the lotus flowers are still blooming brilliantly in early September. On the other half, the crystal clear pond water arches a small Taihu Lake stone.

The yard is very conspicuous is a locust tree that knows that the age of the tree is not short at a glance, the huge canopy covers a small half of the entire yard, and under the tree is the stone table and stone bench that the general yard has, but the age is not small, and the edge appears very smooth.

Standing at the door, Xiao Qin straightened his clothes and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Qin is back."

After a few pauses, Xiao Qin said to Xiao Ruo and his party: "Let's go in." After speaking, he stepped aside and let Yang Bing go in first, and he and Xiao Ruo entered side by side.

The light in the hall is good, a typical Chinese layout, the first is an old man with white hair but strong spirits, he can't see his age, although he doesn't look old on his face, but the vicissitudes in his eyes and the elegance that can only be cultivated in a lifetime make Xiao Ruo clearly understand the identity of the old man, it seems that this is the old ancestor.

Xiao Wangshan and another old man similar to him sat side by side at the bottom, and the rest of the elders were divided into two columns under them, Xiao Lin sat in the second position under Xiao Wangshan, there was an empty seat next to him, and Xiao Chu stood behind him. It should be Xiao Sen, the eldest uncle of the Xiao family, and Ouyang Xue, the eldest aunt. Even in this serious scene, the man in his thirties and forties, who still seems to have a fire under his buttocks, and constantly has subtle movements, should be Xiao Mu.

Further down was a woman, and when she saw her face clearly, including Xiao Ruo, everyone who came with her was shocked.

This...... This must be Xiao Qing. However, it is too similar to Xiao Ruo, the wind and frost of the years have left almost no traces on Xiao Ruo's aunt, it seems that her time is stuck in the year when Xiao Ruo was lost, except for the deep imprint between the eyebrows and the vicissitudes of life that are completely different from Xiao Ruo's eyes, the two stand together, like twin sisters.

Seeing Xiao Ruo come in, Xiao Qing's breathing surged suddenly, and his face that had not changed for ten thousand years also changed, a sickly blush surged on his pale face, and his eyes, which did not fluctuate in the slightest just now, were also full of guilt when he looked at herself, the only niece she was most sorry for.

At this moment, no matter how big the resentment is, Xiao Ruo can't say anything to blame, not to mention that what happened back then was not her fault at all.

Although she can't say it now, Xiao Qing still understands the understanding in Xiao Ruo's eyes, and in just a moment, her tears fell involuntarily.

It's good, if you don't blame her.

For a while, there was only Xiao Qing's sobbing in the silent hall, and no one spoke.

"Old ancestor, grandfather, second grandfather, uncles and brothers, Xiao Qin brought Ruoruo's sister home."

Xiao Qin's voice.
