Chapter 3: Family
"Xiruo, come and let grandma take a good look at you, I haven't seen you for ten years, my Xiruo is really getting better and better." Seeing that the crown prince and the prince Mo had left, the old lady could finally take a good look at her granddaughter, who was thinking about it day and night, and she didn't want to let go of Yan Xiruo's hand.
Even if she knew that this daughter's child should call herself grandma according to common sense, she just didn't want to listen to it, and insisted that she call her grandmother as if she was closer to her in this way.
"Grandma, I haven't seen you for ten years, but you haven't changed at all, you're still so young." If Yan Xi let the old lady pull it, the old lady was very happy with his sweet mouth.
"You kid, you're still so good at talking."
"Xiruo, you can be regarded as back, you don't know, your grandmother, I talk about you in front of my uncles every day, we, our ears are about to become calloused." It was the second master of the Yan family who spoke.
"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, Xiruo has made you worry." Only in front of these people, Yan Xiruo is the most true self, the most real laugh, and the most real talk, because she understands very well that these people are the people who love themselves the most, the people who can give her the best regardless of everything, and the relatives she will protect no matter what.
"It's good to come back, two days ago, your fourth uncle specially sent a letter back to ask about your situation, but ah, the border is far away from home, and your fourth uncle can't come back, so he has no less grievances." The third old man, Yan Zhenxi, also looked at this niece with a loving face.
They also have children under their knees, but they are the only ones who love this niece tightly.
Looking at the niece's more and more similar appearance to his sister, their hearts can't help but feel distressed when they are full of love, and they feel sorry for this child who has been fatherless and motherless since he was a child, even if they give her all the love, but they can't afford to be by her parents' side.
They knew what Xiruo committed in the capital back then, or the whole capital knew, in order to intercede for this child, the four of them did not hesitate to pull down their old faces and beg the queen, so that the matter at that time did not reach the ears of the emperor, so the child escaped.
What happened back then, in fact, everyone tacitly knew that it was not Xiruo who was at fault, if it wasn't for the other party's insult that she was a wild child with no father and mother, how could she be confused.
Even when this matter came out, they unanimously acquiesced, even if the other party really came out with something, weren't they behind it, they were even ready to be known by the emperor at that time, the emperor would not kill them, at most it was to weaken the strength of the Yan family, but so what, compared to this child, what can be considered if the strength is weakened, they didn't want to be in power, the reason why they are still in the court as an official is just to give this child a good future, this child is what they are used to, Even if they are arrogant, they spoil them.
But the child standing in front of them at this moment is not like ten years ago, and now she is gentle like a bend in the lake, calm and more beautiful, and more and more like her mother.
"Fourth Uncle is fine. On the way back, Xiruo heard that the border has been uneasy recently. "The fourth uncle Yan Zhenhai is the most painful Yan Xiruo, guarding the border for more than ten years, during which he has not corresponded with her less, and now she is very worried when she hears that the border is uneasy on the way home, after all, it is the uncle who loves her the most.
"Don't you believe in your fourth uncle's ability, he is a master who is not afraid of death, who can do anything to him." Yan Zhenming rubbed her hair, and that loving appearance didn't even have for her own children.
"Uncle, do you say that about your brother?" Although the words of the eldest uncle sounded heartless, they also resolved the worries in Yan Xiruo's heart, yes, her fourth uncle is so powerful, who can do anything to him.
"By the way, Xiruo, how did you know Lord Mo." The second old man can find the key point rationally in his words, this is what he is more concerned about, how could his niece come back with Lord Mo, although the entourage said that Xiruo met Lord Mo halfway, so he brought him back by the way, but in his image, his niece is not a very kind lord, although it is a little inappropriate to say this, but this child has not behaved like a normal child since she was a child, she seems to have matured very early, And he can always feel from her a feeling that he has gone through many things, so he looks down on the warmth and coldness of the world.
But at that time, she was obviously only a few years old.
"I met Lord Mo on the way back, maybe I fell in love, it just so happened that the coachman knew Lord Mo, so I brought him back." Yan Xiruo's words were half said and half were left.
She was not a kind-hearted person, and if the master hadn't told her when she came out of the valley that she would meet someone on the road, and that person had an inextricable relationship with her future, and she had to save her, she wouldn't have been a kind-hearted person at all. As for the kindness of Xuanyuan Mo in the back, she came from the heart, although he had an adult body, he had a childlike IQ, which made Yan Xiruo, a cold-hearted person, feel better to him.
"Okay, don't you guys here, you say a word to me, Xiruo is also tired, do you want to go and rest for a while, I'll have someone call you for dinner later." The old lady saw that her sons were talking to Xiruo one by one, so that since she couldn't insert it, she was a little jealous, so Suo Xin sent Xiruo to rest.
"That's right, after sitting in the carriage for so long, Xiruo is also tired, so let's go rest first."
"Zhiyun." The old lady called her maid: "In the future, you will follow Miss Seven, from today on, she will be your master." ”
"Yes, old lady." Zhiyun replied obediently, she knew that the old lady had kept her by her side for all these years because of the seventh lady in front of her. And she will certainly not live up to the old lady's high expectations.
"Tomorrow, I'll ask your aunt to dial a few sensible maids for you, as for the grandmother in charge, grandma knows that you miss the old and has always kept Mama Lin for you." The old lady patted Yan Xiruo's hand and said lovingly, this Zhiyun is the person she trusts the most, and she is not at ease with other people, but this Zhiyun, she has 12 hearts.
"Thank you, grandma." Yan Xiruo was very touched by everything the old lady did for herself, she was the child of the daughter of the concubine, she was supposed to follow her father's family, but she was raised in her mother's maiden home since she was a child, and she was fatherless and motherless since she was a child, although her grandmother and uncle hurt, but she also inevitably had a heart, after all, in this compound, that person is not separated by the belly, who can see through whom. The old lady did this undoubtedly to tell the people in the house that she was her backer.
"Speaking of which, Xiruo, your fourth uncle asked someone to bring two people back a few days ago, it is a pair of brothers and sisters, who were originally the children of one of your fourth uncle's lieutenants, because the deputy general died on the battlefield, your fourth uncle couldn't bear their brothers and sisters to suffer on the battlefield, so he sent them back, saying that they would stay by your side to protect you." Yan Zhenhai's move undoubtedly gave Yan Xiruo another layer of protection.
"Thank you for me, Fourth Uncle, and uncles, thank you." Yan Xiruo knew that in this family, the four uncles and grandmother were her backers, at least no one dared to touch her in the clear.
As for secretly, who can move her, she said that if she is not a rabbit, she will bite.
"Zhiyun, take Miss down to rest."
"Yes, old lady." The little girl lowered her head and was respectful: "Miss Seven, please come with me." ”
"Then grandma, I'll go rest first."
