Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Grandson Changzhen
Coming out of Yunhou Mansion, Xie Hengxu and Di Lian went to Rongguo Mansion together, she has been busy recently, but she hasn't visited her grandmother for more than half a month.
The carriage drove into the house, Xie Hengxu helped her down, and the two walked side by side to Rongshouju, and when they arrived outside the courtyard gate, they heard the screams of children inside.
When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Xie Hengyuan standing under the porch outside the house in a plain blue brocade robe, holding a boy in a brocade and purple jacket in one hand, the child fluttered his calves in his hands like an elk, and Xie Hengyuan frowned and whispered a reprimand.
"It's really your habitual lawlessness, and you still don't admit your mistakes!"
"That parrot brother died by himself, and it has nothing to do with Changzhen!"
The father and son had a serious dispute under the corridor, and the mother-in-law and maids in Rongshou's house hid far away, for fear of being affected by the pond fish.
Di Lianyue's eyes bent, Xie Hengxu laughed and shook her head, and strode forward while speaking loudly, "What trouble did Changzhen make here, causing the eldest brother to quarrel with Grandmother Qingjing here." ”
Xie Hengyuan turned his head sideways when he heard the sound, and saw the two of them coming back together, listening to Xie Hengxu's words, he couldn't help but show helplessness, and before he could say anything, Xie Changzhen stretched out his arms and screamed as if he had seen a savior.
"Second uncle! Aunt Lian! Save Changzhen, Changzhen didn't get into trouble, it was my father who wronged me! ”
When Tilian couldn't help but approach, Xie Hengxu had already stretched out his long arm to take Xie Changzhen from his father's hand, put it on the ground casually, and saw the little guy staggering and hugging his thigh, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and joke.
"Tell me, what did your father wronged you?"
Tillian had already guessed some of the words she heard when she entered the door, and she glanced under the empty eaves of the porch, and smiled secretly in her heart.
In the spring three years ago, Xie Hengxu caught a red-billed parrot with colorful feathers out of nowhere, and he thought it was interesting, so he put the parrot in a cage and sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion; One day after Tillian came to visit her grandmother, she felt that the yard was too quiet, so she borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to the parrot brother to her grandmother, the grandmother was quiet by nature, but maybe because the parrot brother was sent by Tillian, so she left it behind, hung it under the eaves of the porch every day, and invited someone to teach it to speak, and there was a maid to serve, the parrot brother is an acute child, the words are learned quickly, but the words are upside down, and the half of the words will pinch the throat like singing two strange sounds, it is really interesting tight, everyone in and out like to tease.
Today, the eaves of this corridor are empty, and the parrot must have been harmed by Xie Changzhen, a bastard child.
Changzhen's child is now five years old, he is the only grandson in the Rongguo Mansion, and he is spoiled lawlessly, except for the appearance of Xie Hengyuan, his temperament is exactly the same as Xie Hengxu, everyone who knows their uncle and nephew thinks that Xie Changzhen will inherit Xie Hengxu's mantle back then and become another 'little devil in the world' in the capital.
At this time, Xie Changzhen was still hugging Xie Hengxu's thighs tightly, hiding behind him for fear that his father would teach him a lesson again, and he didn't forget to raise his head and flatten his mouth and said aggrievedly, "I got up early to ask my great-grandmother to say goodbye, and I saw that Bi'er took the grain rice to feed the parrot, and I was happy for a while to feed the parrot brother, and the parrot brother could eat, I saw that it kept nodding to eat, and I couldn't bear that it couldn't eat enough, so I fed two more spoonfuls when Bi'er went to fetch water, who knew it." ”
Xie Hengxu's phoenix eyes widened when he heard this, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "That parrot brother is greedy, how big is its belly, and it is enough to eat ten grains of grain a day!" You fed too much, it was killed by you, and it was indeed your fault! ”
Xie Hengyuan snorted coldly when he heard this, "Your second uncle's words, you should always admit it!" ”
Xie Changzhen stared at Xie Hengxu with a look of disbelief, and stared at Xie Hengxu suspiciously, "Second uncle, you won't collude with your father, right?" Xie Hengyuan's face immediately turned blue again.
Xie Hengxu rolled his eyes when he heard this, looked left and right, and raised his chin in the direction of Di Lian, "Do you always believe your aunt's words?" You ask her. ”
With a flat mouth, Xie Changzhen let go of Xie Hengxu's legs, rubbed against the smiling Tilian, and carefully pulled Tilian's sleeve, "Auntie." I don't know why, as soon as this kid talks to Tillian, his arrogant arrogance will be instantly subdued.
"Chang Zhen didn't mean it, Brother Parrot is also sad that Chang Zhen died, aunt, I'm sorry."
With her eyelids lowered, Tillian looked at him with a cautious and timid expression, couldn't help but smile, raised her hand and rubbed his head, "Knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, but this parrot brother is now your great-grandmother's, should you go to your great-grandmother to ask for guilt." ”
Xie Changzhen hung his head and said 'um' like a mosquito.
Di Lian led him around and glanced at Xie Hengyuan and Xie Hengxu with a smile.
Xie Hengxu sighed with one hand, "It's also a strange thing, Changzhen, this kid is really like me, and he listens to Lian'er's words the most." ”
Xie Hengyuan glanced at him noncommittally when he heard this, and walked towards the house with a step.
The corridor was just outside the door, where could the words of a few people be hidden from Mrs. Xie's ears, and when the four of them entered the door, they saw Mrs. Xie sitting on the soft couch sideways, and waved her hand calmly to signal them to take a seat.
"Great-grandmother." , let go of Di Lian's hand, Xie Changzhen stepped forward with a flattering face, and the clever 'Bang Dang' knelt at Mrs. Xie's feet, "Changzhen knows that he is wrong, great-grandmother, don't be angry." ”
Mrs. Xie couldn't hide the smile on her face when she heard this, and she squinted at him and said, "What's the matter, great-grandmother is still angry with you for a beast?" The most displeasing thing about your great-grandmother is that you refuse to bow your head even though you know your mistakes, which is not as good as your second uncle, although your second uncle was also mixed up back then, but he has always dared to act. ”
Xie Changzhen frowned and muttered, "Changzhen must be more caring than the second uncle, and great-grandmother can't praise him!" ”
"Hmph, you're reasonable." , Xie Hengxu, who was sitting at the bottom, snorted noncommittally and took a sip of the teacup.
Tilian laughed in her heart, where did Xie Hengxu dare to act back then, he was clearly arrogant and unafraid, even if he did bad things, he felt justified, of course he didn't bother to quibble.
I saw Xie Changzhen get up from the ground and look at Xie Hengxu with his chin high, "Second Uncle is better than Changzhen except for marrying a beauty like Aunt Lian?!" ”
Xie Hengxu was not annoyed, and even raised his eyebrows and looked angry at him, "Hey, what you said is right, you can't catch up with this alone." ”
Xie Changzhen's small chest snorted when he heard the words, and he stared at him and stopped talking.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help crying and laughing when she saw his uncle and nephew like this, and nodded Xie Hengxu and said, "It's a shame that you are an elder." ”
Xie Hengxu smiled like Chaoyang and bared his teeth, turned his head to look at Di Lian and winked.
Glancing at him, Di Lian looked at Mrs. Xie, and saw that she was in good spirits, and couldn't help but feel relieved, "Grandmother looks much better today, it seems that next year, in the spring, I can take Lian'er to Yuanhua Temple again." ”
Mrs. Xie smiled when she heard this, stretched out her hand to beckon her to sit down beside her, and then shook her hand and said slowly, "Grandmother is old and can't stand the bumps of the carriage." Seeing that Di Lian pursed her lips and glanced at her, she hurriedly added, "But you don't have to worry, you can enjoy it for seven or eight years." ”
Still dissatisfied, Tillian pursed her lips and said, "Seven or eight years? Even seventeen or eighteen years is not enough. ”
Mrs. Xie smiled and nodded her eyebrows, "Nonsense again, that grandmother is no longer an old goblin." ”
For fear that she would talk about herself again, Mrs. Xie hurriedly changed the topic with a solemn face, "Grandmother has heard about it!" You girl is really going to fly to the sky now, and you dare to resist even the holy decree! ”
Seeing her so strict, Tillian shrunk her neck and pouted, "Isn't this a solution?" ”
Seeing her disapproving face, Mrs. Xie suddenly felt depressed, and pointed straight at her eyebrows and reprimanded, "Solved?" That's the mindset of you! I don't think Brother Zhen is like Zixu, but with you, lawless and not afraid in his eyes! ”
Tilian was pointed at by her and shook her way, and hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Xie's arm and leaned over to be coquettish, "Grandmother~, Lian'er knows that she is wrong, she will not be so reckless in the future, and her grandmother is not angry with Lian'er~." ”
Mrs. Xie has always spoiled her, and she was so coquettish that no matter how angry she was, she still refused to relax on her face, and hummed with a strained face, "You say this every time, thinking that I'm old and foolish, right?" ”
This old lady, why are you so stubborn today, Tilian lifted her eyes and twitched her, gently shook Mrs. Xie's arm, and said angrily, "Grandmother~." ”
Seeing this, Xie Hengxu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and was immediately glared at by Di Lian, and quickly turned his head sideways.
Xie Hengyuan also lowered her eyes and hooked her lips, Tillian was eccentric when she was young, but now she has grown into a wise and quiet person, it is rare to see her such a young daughter, and it is really surprising for a while.
Xie Changzhen on the side waited for the big phoenix eyes to look at Di Lian without blinking, and then frowned and said, "Aunt Lian, how can you learn from Changzhen." ”
Di Lian was stunned when she heard this, her moon eyes narrowed slightly and looked at Xie Changzhen, and the clever little ghost immediately shrank her neck and shuddered, turned around and slipped to her father's side.
Xie Hengxu suddenly laughed loudly, "Grandmother, don't hold Lian'er, she is annoyed and angry when she looks back, Zixu is going to be affected, you have pity on your poor grandson." ”
Mrs. Xie finally couldn't hold back, and glanced at him with a low smile, and then looked at Di Lian and said, "This time it's really not an example!" ”
Di Lian hurriedly nodded and smiled with a well-behaved face, of course it is not an example, such a thing as resisting the decree is to kill the head, Emperor An can bear her challenge once or twice, if she comes three or four times, she really can't erase the dragon's face, she still knows the importance of this.
At this moment, Xie Changzhen, who listened to the head of the head, sighed with an old look, "Sure enough, the person who great-grandmother hurts the most is still Aunt Lian, and Changzhen can't compete." ”
Several people laughed when they heard this, and Tillian got up and stepped down, looked down at him and said, "Why, your great-grandmother doesn't love you enough?" Who dares to provoke you in this house, when is it not for the protection of your great-grandmother, you have come here to pretend to be pitiful. ”
Xie Changzhen looked at her with his head held high, his little eyebrows frowned and his face was stern, "Aunt Lian, don't exaggerate, Daddy always teaches Changzhen a lesson, and Aunt Lian, Aunt Lian is here, Changzhen will be in the back row." ”
Xie Hengyuan's face was blank, and he reprimanded, "How can you get used to you, and then you will really be used to being a gentleman and corrupt the family style." ”
Xie Changzhen puffed out his face and didn't dare to talk back, Di Lian laughed in a low voice when she saw this, pinched his little face and said word by word, "Auntie, I have been in this mansion for more than ten years, and your Taoism is still far behind, so cultivate slowly." ”
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but spit on her with laughter, "It's really not serious, you teach children like this!" Sure enough, you can't be with Zixu often, otherwise sooner or later you will learn badly. ”
Xie Hengxu pretended to be aggrieved and said with a sad face, "Grandmother, I was wronged." ”
