Chapter 157: Yan Mansion

Yan Mansion in the south of Li County

Yan Xiaota's sister and brother entered their house in a carriage directly from the side door, got off the car in the front yard, and asked the coachman to put down the rocking chair and park himself.

Let the family members who were waiting there carry the rocking chair to the grandfather's courtyard, and they led the two to the main courtyard behind, and when they arrived at home, the sisters and brothers were obviously silent.

Looking at this new Sanjin Courtyard Yan Mansion, even if they have lived in it for almost half a year, the sisters and brothers are a little uncomfortable, thinking that they are at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, and they have lived in the seven-entry mansion since they were young!

Grandpa as a vice academician of the Hanlin Academy, there are not many students, and the family is also smooth, until nine years ago, Xiaota was seven years old, Wenxuan was four years old, and his father was a doctor in the Tai Hospital, and he was ordered to go to Liuzhou to treat the plague, but unfortunately he was infected, and his mother learned the news and ran to serve the disease despite his grandfather's opposition, and finally both died of illness!

Before leaving, two big living people were sent back in the end!

Grandpa was mentally prepared before his mother left, and quietly handled the funeral for the two of them.

Mother is the orphan of his grandfather's close friend, he grew up in front of his grandfather with his father since he was a child, his father likes to be a doctor and his mother likes martial arts, and then he naturally became a couple and sang together, which is the happiest thing in his old man's life, that is, his pair of children!

Later, he added a pair of grandchildren, which made him even more proud!

Unexpectedly, a natural and man-made disaster took the lives of two excellent children, and all the guests at the funeral did not see what the grandfather had expression, thinking that he could survive, but he did not expect that the grandfather who had been guarding the mourning hall all night, was found fainting in the mourning hall by the little guy who was guarding outside the next day, and he was still holding the two tablets tightly in his arms, and he was blooming overnight

Since then, grandpa has rarely smiled, his body has gradually weakened, and finally he has made a tribute to the Son of Heaven when he was in the small tower last year, and said goodbye to his hometown.

The Son of Heaven remembered that his family had meritorious, and in addition to rewarding him, he also promised that Wenxuan could be directly admitted to Hanlin after he became an adult, so he granted his grandfather's request.

He sold the property of the mansion, took the gold and silver with him, and the faithful servants of a dozen children, and did not return to his ancestral hometown, which was quite close to Liuzhou, but stopped the convoy in Li County, where his student was the new county magistrate, and it was beneficial and harmless to settle here. But Yan Xiaota's sisters and brothers, including those subordinates, know that the old man is afraid to see Liuzhou who made him lose his child!

Originally, when he was in the capital, his grandfather doted on the grandchildren and let them live a free childhood, but when he applied to return to his hometown, his grandfather's health had deteriorated, so he was anxious to let his grandson become a talent so that he could support the family business, so he began to strictly discipline Yan Wenxuan.

Therefore, Yan Wenxuan has the appearance of being lively and cute by nature, but forced to mature with a small face.

Walking into the main courtyard, I saw my grandfather standing under a pear tree, looking at the bulging flower bones on the branches.

From the time they walked into the yard to the time they came under the tree, Grandpa didn't hear it, just stared at it stupidly, motionless.

Yan Xiaota came to the side, pulled his grandfather's sleeve with his hand and shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, Xiaota and Wenxuan bought you a gift, you must like it, this gift is not available in the capital!" ”

"Oh, what's there in this little place that the capital doesn't have?" Her grandfather looked down at this cheerful and caring little granddaughter, who knew how to punch and kick like her mother, watching her grow up day by day, becoming more and more like raising his daughter-in-law Shen Linglong again, which made him feel heartwarming.

If it weren't for this pair of grandchildren, he would definitely go with his son and daughter-in-law, what is the point of leaving him alone in the world.

This granddaughter likes it herself, but even in a place as big as the capital, people with comparable doors are afraid of marrying a tigress's daughter-in-law, and few people dare to come to ask for marriage. So when he came to this small county, he didn't know what kind of granddaughter would have to marry, but he believed that there would always be a young man with a good vision who would come to the door to ask for it!

When I turned around, I saw the rattan rocking chair that the family had carried to the bottom of the tree, and I couldn't help but have some cloudy eyes, rocking chair!

I didn't expect my grandchildren to remember that they like to sit in this rocking chair, he didn't think about buying one for so long, and he didn't hurt them in vain! happily moved to lie down under the tree, but he didn't expect that this rocking chair was very light, and he could easily drag it away.

The legs, waist, back and head are tightly sealed, as if they were tailor-made, and he shook his eyes slightly twice with his eyes closed comfortably, which made him insomnia day and night, and he fell asleep with a sinking mind.

Looking at the black bags under his grandfather's eyes, and his wrinkled cheeks, coupled with that gorgeous hair, the whole person is old!

Yan Xiaota couldn't stand it anymore, he looked at his grandfather's eyebrows carefully, tears were dripping down, and his baby-like face became sad, especially worrying.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour with Yan Wenxuan, grandpa should have slept sincerely, so he called a few housekeepers to gently carry grandpa into the room with a rocking chair, covered it with a thick quilt, and lit a condensing incense.

Everyone exited the door lightly, and instructed the little servant to watch at the door, and if the grandfather didn't come out, he couldn't let people go in to disturb him, and then went to the study with his younger brother.

The study room was shared by Grandpa and Yan Wenxuan, a simple three-sided bookshelf, full of all kinds of literary and historical records, when they moved from the capital, these books accounted for a quarter of the transport fleet.

The reason why it is shared is not that there is no place at home, but that grandpa rarely enters the study now. In addition to going to the backyard to play with flowers and plants in his own yard, he thought that morning and evening would be used by Yan Wenxuan, so there was no trouble to divide into two.

Entering the study, Yan Wenxuan first picked up the blazing pillow sent back by his subordinates, blinked and said with wide eyes: "Sister, or you don't get married, if you get married, there will be me and grandpa left in the family, how lonely it is, grandpa doesn't like to talk, and I won't even have anyone to talk to." ”

Looking at his younger brother who grew up behind his buttocks, Yan Xiaota was naturally distressed, and he didn't want to say when he heard the words: "Okay, your sister may not have anyone who dares to ask for it, our family doesn't have the problem of concubines, and the man my sister is looking for can't have this problem, plus your sister and I are more powerful, and most men don't dare to marry me. When the time comes, let me raise the doll and give me the old age! ”

Although the two of them are not young according to their age, but without the teaching of their parents, their grandfather is also in good spirits, and he can't control the two of them too much, otherwise he wouldn't have to ask the master to teach Wenxuan, he himself is Hanlin, what student can't teach? However, he didn't hope that Wenxuan would learn well, and he would be satisfied with being a rich man in a safe and smooth life.

So the two of them really think about whether to marry or not to marry, and they really lack too much in terms of emotion.

"That's fine. Are you going to go to Morning Star tomorrow, I want to go too" The two of them care about their offspring, and they might as well go out and have enthusiasm! (To be continued.) )
