57 The grandfathers and grandchildren rejoiced when they met
They found a teahouse at random, and then asked for a private room on the second floor, opened the window and drank tea and ate while watching the people and carriages passing through the city gate.
Time passed minute by minute, Xiao Zhisu and Qingli ate back and forth several times without seeing the carriage of Chen Anhou's mansion, and now it was almost time to apply, and they couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"Qingli, we didn't miss it, did we?" Xiao Zhisu leaned out of the window and looked carefully left and right, "Why hasn't Grandpa arrived yet?" ”
"Don't worry, girl, maybe there is something delayed on the road, let's wait."
Xiao Zhisu held her face in her hands and stared closely at the carriages and horses coming and going at the city gate. Suddenly, she spotted a familiar sign on a carriage and ran down the stairs and out of the teahouse. By the time she got down, the carriage had stopped safely at the door of the teahouse.
"Uncle Tai, you've finally arrived." Xiao Zhisu complained coquettishly, "I'm in a hurry." ”
"There was an accident on the road, and the girl got into the carriage first." Uncle Tai took out a small bench and let Xiao Zhisu step on the bench to get into the car.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Zhisu was on this Jiankang street, she would have stepped into the carriage directly regardless of her image, but unfortunately, she could no longer do whatever she wanted like in Ancheng. After getting into the carriage, she also turned her head to deal with Qingli who came out of the account and said, "Qingli, you take the carriage back to the house, and I will accompany my grandfather to the other courtyard first." ”
With that, Xiao Zhisu raised the door curtain and entered the carriage. Although the old man sitting in the middle of the coffin was over the age of six, he did not look old at all, he was full of energy, and his sword eyebrows were not angry and self-threatening, but when he saw the visitor, he instantly smiled and became a kind old man.
Chen Anhou looked at Xiao Zhisu, who was dressed today, holding his gray beard with his right hand, and said with relief, "It seems that Old Madam Xiao is better at raising people than the old man, but after two months, our Su Su has changed from a female overlord to a lady." ”
Xiao Zhisu walked a few steps with her waist bent, and then sat down next to Chen Anhou, and pushed the person away by the way. Rising mouth pretended to be dissatisfied, "Grandpa, is there a person like you?" As soon as they met, they stumbled on their granddaughter. ”
Chen Anhou stretched out his hand and poked Xiao Zhisu's bulging cheeks, laughing, "This is angry?" It seems that it hasn't changed at all, and if you have a bad temper, it's just like your mother, if you're unhappy, you can pout and hang a pot. ”
"Grandpa, you!" Having said that, Xiao Zhisu still smiled at Chen Anhou, then grabbed his arm and said affectionately, "Grandpa, why is it so late today?" ”
"Don't mention it, I met a few little thieves on the way here, and I was delayed for a while. Little girl has been waiting for a long time? Chen Anhou was so angry that his beard was fighting.
Xiao Zhisu was in a hurry, and hurriedly looked around to see if her grandfather was injured, "Are you okay?" ”
Chen Anhou stroked his beard and snorted, "It's just a few little thieves, how can I help your grandfather, it's just enough to make me comfortable and comfortable." ”
"Yes, yes, you're not old." Xiao Zhisu also giggled and flattered. But the more she smiled on the surface, the more sad she felt in her heart, and this feeling hit like a flood, making her like a drowning person who wanted to catch duckweed to save herself, and wanted to cherish it even more.
Who would have thought that in the previous life, such a strong and healthy old man would also be overwhelmed after experiencing the departure of both his children. I haven't even done the slightest filial piety.
With a different kind of thought, Xiao Zhisu and Chen Anhou talked and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at the Yang Mansion Courtyard.
However, Chen Anhou didn't let Xiao Zhisu get out of the car, and directly asked Lao Tai to send her back to Xiao's mansion.
"Grandpa, then I'll go back first, I'll leave Mama Lin and Zi Yu for the time being, and I'll be relieved to have someone to take care of." Xiao Zhisu pulled the curtain of the car and asked word by word uneasily.
"Let's go, let's go! Why are you so verbose at a young age, I will visit Xiao Mansion tomorrow. Chen Anhou pretended to shake his hand impatiently and urged, "Lao Tai, hurry up and send the girl back." ”
"Yes, Master Hou."
On the second day, Xiao Zhisu was woken up by Zhuohua while still asleep, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and said in a daze, "Zhuohua, what's the matter?" ”
"Wake up, the girl is waking up, the Hou Ye has already arrived in the house, and now he is on his way to the living room." Zhuo Hua put the basin on the table next to him, and handed the drained handkerchief to Xiao Zhisu.
After taking the handkerchief and washing her face, Xiao Zhisu was a little sober, and when she heard that her grandfather was coming, she jumped up from the bed with a thrill, urging, "Zhuohua, hurry up." ”
When Xiao Zhisu came to the living room after washing, she heard laughter and laughter inside, and the sound was mixed, it seemed that there were a lot of people inside. She was thinking about how to get in, but she heard her grandfather speak first, "Girl, you're here!" ”
Xiao Zhisu raised a smile and stepped in, first greeting her grandmother in a regular manner, and then greeting her grandfather, father, and aunt in turn.
"Nine girls, we were mentioning you to your grandfather, and you came." Old Lady Xiao said with a smile, it's just that she just passed through the haunting a few days ago, and although it was later found out that it had nothing to do with the nine girls, there was always that thorn in her heart, so the smile was not very natural.
"Really? What do you say about me? Xiao Zhisu didn't care, just sat on the side casually, glanced at her grandfather inquiringly, and in her eyes was sure that you would definitely say bad things about me.
After receiving the message from his granddaughter, Chen Anhou touched his beard and smiled, "Say that I spoiled you, look, what time did it take to get up to say hello." Then, he said to Mrs. Xiao, "Old lady, when Su Su and I were in Ancheng, I was used to it, and if you don't understand the rules, please bear with me." ”
"What Master Hou said, the nine girls are very intimate. Master Hou raised a good granddaughter for me. "How could Old Madam Xiao let people grasp the handle so easily, it was still a loving smile.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will put more thought on Su Su in the future." Xiao Wenxuan saw the two of them saying this, and remembered that he had not cared for his daughter all these years, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Chen Anhou smiled at Xiao Wenxuan, and did not answer, but just changed the conversation, "I came this time, and I didn't know what to bring, so I chose a five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng to give to the old lady." ”
"Master Hou is polite." Although the old lady has lived a lot of age and has never seen anything valuable, but the gift given by Chen Anhou this time really surprised her, the five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng is a treasure with no price. It seems that Chen Anhou attaches great importance to the nine girls, and such a valuable gift has been given.
Chen Anhou waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing. Then he glanced at Xiao Zhisu and said, "I came back mainly to participate in Su Su's ceremony, I don't know how to prepare?" ”
"Father-in-law, please rest assured, Su Su is the concubine of Xiao Mansion, and this ceremony should be as grand as possible. A few days ago, I wrote an essay for Susu. ”
"Wen Xuan has a heart." Chen Anhou looked at Old Madam Xiao again, waiting for her answer.
