Chapter 177: Recognition
If Dacheng is missing, it is useless. If the big profit is rushing, its use is endless. If you are straight, if you are clumsy, if you are clumsy, if you are arguing. Restlessness is better than cold, quiet is better than heat, and tranquility is the right thing in the world.
Seeing this word, Xia Xue'er couldn't help but jump out of Lao Tzu's words in the "Tao Te Ching" in her mind. What is a wise man, this is a wise man!
Zhao Wanqing stepped through the round door, but saw that Xia Xue'er's footsteps seemed to be frozen, and she only raised her head to look up with interest, and she didn't know what she was looking at! I couldn't help urging: "Come in quickly, my grandfather has been waiting inside for a long time!" "The older the grandfather, the worse his temper will be, and if he is in a hurry, he must have been angry!
Xia Xue'er glanced at the word again, and then lowered her head and followed Zhao Wanqing into the door, a little curious about who the person who wrote the inscription was.
Old lady Zhao was sitting in the hall at this time, her face was a little anxious, and she was almost past the hour, why hadn't these three girls arrived yet? Didn't something happen on the road and it was delayed? He sent his subordinates out to see, and the grandmother hurriedly went out of the house. As soon as he got down the stone steps, he saw Zhao Wanqing enter the door with Xia Xue'er, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My little ancestor, why did my son come here, the old lady was worried all night!" While chattering, Mama walked in front of the two of them in three or two steps, and she didn't have time to look at her granddaughter from the imperial city, so she hurriedly took the hands of the two and walked quickly towards the house.
"Old lady, your longing granddaughter has arrived!"
As soon as Mama entered the door, she smiled happily and said to the old lady with a sad face on the hall with her head closed, her eyes closed, and the bridge of her nose pinched, and the old lady immediately opened her eyes and turned her head when she heard this, staring at Xia Xue'er tightly, and there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes.
Xia Xue'er stepped forward and kowtowed, and obediently called "grandfather", and the old lady was even more red-eyed and a little choked.
In this family, the only person he is sorry for is his eldest daughter. He was enlightened all his life, but he married his eldest daughter to the imperial city thousands of miles away just after her ceremony, and the father and daughter have never met again for twenty-five years!
"It's good to come, it's good to come......" The old lady didn't know what to say for a while, and only kept repeating this simple but warm sentence in his mouth.
Zhao Wanqing walked around to the chair and gently patted her grandfather's back, calming him down. Looking at the old man's ruddy eyes, he also felt sad, and his eyes were unconsciously full of tears.
From afar, I heard a voice outside the house asking, "Is the big girl here?" ”
"Old lady, I'm in the house!"
The hurried footsteps got closer and closer, and after a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the person standing at the door saw Xia Xue'er standing in the middle of the hall at a glance, and was slightly stunned for two seconds, then broke free of the hand holding his second daughter, and walked towards his granddaughter quickly.
"Mother, don't worry, beware of ......"
Before Zhao Lingzhi's words were finished, she saw that her mother had come to the middle of the hall, Xia Xue'er turned to look at her, although she had never met, but just looking at the old man's demeanor, she naturally guessed her identity, so she bent her knees and prepared to kneel. But as soon as his body moved, he was stopped by a hug.
"My son, I can be regarded as seeing!"
The old lady burst into tears, Xia Xue'er was a little caught off guard for a while, she didn't know what to do, her body froze, she only straightened up and let her grandmother hold her in her arms, and there was the cry of joy in her ears, and she was also red when she cried out.
When Zhao Lingzhi saw the scene of his grandparents and grandchildren, he also pressed the corners of his eyes, and then stepped forward to persuade: "Mother, don't be too excited, the excitement hurts your body!" Seeing that her mother was unmoved, she still only hugged Xia Xue'er and cried, and persuaded her in a different way: "You will scare the big girl like this, you always forget, she doesn't remember the past, please, she doesn't know us!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady slowly stopped and let go of her granddaughter who was imprisoned in her arms, but she was still reluctant to let go of her hand, so she only pulled her aside, and Xia Xue'er obediently sat down beside her.
"Is your mother's body better?"
"Grandmother Lao is worried, and her mother's body is already well. If it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, my mother would be able to come back to visit you together, but the house was busy as soon as it was the festival, and my mother couldn't get rid of it, so I could only bring my greetings and thoughts to my grandson! ”
Hearing that her daughter was well, the old lady and the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed some joy, but thinking that their daughter had only gone home once since she married in the north, it was more than ten years ago, and they couldn't help but feel sad. After some comfort, everyone gradually stopped crying, and the feelings gradually calmed down.
The old lady sat in the hall, looking her granddaughter up and down with a pair of eyes, this face was as captivating as the eldest daughter when she was young, but her body was not as good as the eldest daughter, but it was a little skinny! The old lady also noticed this, stretched out her hand to touch her granddaughter's cheek, and touched the bones, and felt very distressed!
"My son, how did you get so thin? Is it bad to eat in the Hou Mansion? Or are you being bullied? ”
Xia Xue'er stretched out her hand to cover the old man's slightly plump hand, and said with a slight smile: "Grandmother is too careful, and her grandson is fine, and no one bullies her grandson." ”
After hearing this, the old lady snorted coldly, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and said, "They don't dare!" Then he turned his resentful gaze to her husband, who was also sitting in the hall, with red eyes.
Back then, the husband lost his words after drinking for a while, and he pointed to his belly for marriage, which hurt the boss's life! When the eldest married into the Xia family, Xia Qingxuan had not yet been knighted, but was just a general who had made military exploits. She didn't value these false names, she only hoped that her uncle would be a young talent with excellent character, not to be rich and rich, as long as she knew that it was ideal to love her wife, but who knew that he actually carried his wife back to a concubine room before his wife entered the main room! As long as I think of the eldest daughter who has not loved restraint since she was a child, after marrying, she can only stay in the boxy yard all day long, and the door is not out of the door, and she obeys the three virtues and serves a husband with a group of women, what joy is there in such a life?
Last time, the second daughter took Wanqing to the Hou Mansion, and after she came back, she also roughly talked about the situation of the eldest daughter in the Hou Mansion, but she knew in her heart that the actual situation was several times worse than what the second daughter said, just to keep her worried, they all deliberately hid it from her.
If there is a chance to do it all over again, she would rather break the contract, rather than have a reputation, and not marry her daughter into the Xia Mansion and harm her life!
