Chapter 382: Meeting (5)
Li Ziyu euphemistically stated her plan and indirectly stated her position. She didn't want to create an illusion for the people of Fan Mansion, as if their sister and brother were so down that they had to live in Fan Mansion to survive.
Although she also felt the kindness and sincerity of her grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt, she knew that in a big family, all kinds of interpersonal relationships were complicated and intertwined, and various interests involved led to intrigue and deceit between people, and it was not easy to be in it.
Maternal grandfathers, maternal grandmothers, and uncles all have their own children, some of whom are even concubines, plus maids and servants, and it is inevitable that they have different thoughts.
The younger siblings are all simple children who grew up in the countryside, how can they cope with such a complex environment? Of course, in the future, it is inevitable that there will be complex officialdom and scheming in the back house, but there must be a process.
In any case, she is not willing to take her younger siblings to live in Fan Mansion in the future, this is absolutely impossible.
Recognize my grandfather's family, on the one hand, because my grandfather and uncles really love them, and on the other hand, because I find a backer for my family in Yidu, so that my younger brothers can have a support in the future. But the Fan Mansion is the Fan Mansion, and the Li family is the Li family, which cannot be confused.
The old lady listened to Li Ziyu's words, and although she knew that she was reasonable, she still couldn't get over the hurdles in her heart. Seeing that Li Ziyu was so empathetic and reasonable, her heart of cherishing her grandson became softer and softer.
So he sat up, looked at his granddaughter and said, "Let's talk about this later, you don't want to leave today, do you?" Whatever you're here for, you should stay here. ”
Li Ziyu nodded and said, "Grandmother." I will stay here for the time I stay in Yidu. However, I came here because of something, and my grandfather must have known it. So. I might leave the house from time to time to do what I had to do. ”
The old lady's face changed because of her granddaughter's words, and she was worried.
She didn't know what her granddaughter was doing, but she knew that it must be dangerous, otherwise the Ren family wouldn't have let her come all the way here.
However, I was a little glad in my heart, thanks to the old man who did not refuse the Ren family at the beginning.
I want to send someone to say it at the beginning. The Fan family needed to come forward to recognize a distant relative, and the old man agreed without saying a word.
In fact, the relationship between the Fan family and the Ren family is not very good. At least on the surface. It is precisely because the Fan family and the Ren family do not have much contact that the Ren family's request will not arouse suspicion.
After agreeing to the agreement, the family discussed it together, considering the consequences of the exposure and the need for aftermath measures after the exposure.
The old man was right. The Ren family is a special existence for the entire Daye Dynasty. Such a family is not close, but it cannot be offended, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
Ren Guozhong is not a good stubble, he has a resolute heart, ruthless methods, kills people without blinking, and a human life is not as good as an ant in his eyes.
It's just that he is good at hiding, and his reputation in the court is very good.
The reason why Fan Jingshu agreed to him was that he didn't want to be an enemy of the Ren family. And there is little chance that this thing will be exposed. Everything was also arranged.
However, he didn't expect such a surprise to await them. The cousin who came was really the granddaughter who was longing for her heart and mind.
The Ren family also told them all the background they needed to recognize, although they couldn't believe the surprise, but they still didn't know it, because Chai Bin didn't have any news for them.
On yesterday's post, Chai Bin wrote all Li Ziyu's names on it. And Chai Bin used the evening time to come back once, confirming that the cousin on the worship post was his granddaughter, which made their hanging hearts fall to the ground. That's why we have the exciting scene of meeting today.
At this moment, Fan Jingshu had already woken up from the excitement, regained his previous calm and calm, looked at Li Ziyu and said, "Yu'er, go to the study with me." ”
"Okay." Li Ziyu also wanted to tell her grandfather what she was suspicious about, so she immediately agreed.
Fan Jingshu said to his son and daughter-in-law again; "Lin Er and Ming'er also came together. The eldest daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are in charge of making a table of lunch and making it sumptuous. ”
"Yes!" Fan Qilin and his wife, Fan Qiming and his wife responded in unison.
Before leaving, he said to the old lady with emotion: "Old woman, you rest first and take care of your body." You still haven't seen five grandchildren, so you have to get stronger! Today is a happy day for us, to be able to see our grandson before closing our eyes is God's eyes, we have to live well. ”
The old lady nodded with deep feeling: "Well, I know, I won't cry anymore." From now on, I will smile happily and wait to see my grandson in good health. ”
Mama Jian tucked the corner of the quilt for the old lady, and watched Li Ziyu walk out with her back straight with gratitude.
The eldest lady and the second lady went to the kitchen to add some dishes on the original basis, and in order to make this reunion dinner a complete meal, they carefully considered and did not mention it.
Let's say that Li Ziyu followed her grandfather and two uncles through the Hanging Flower Gate, walked through a quiet road paved with bluestone slabs, and came to a courtyard surrounded by low flowers.
The courtyard is surrounded by tall walls and no tall trees, only low, half-human-tall shrubs and flowers scattered around.
This is also the only courtyard in Fan's Mansion that does not have tall trees planted outside the courtyard, and Li Ziyu admires her grandfather's layout or layout.
If tall trees are planted around the courtyard, it will provide the best hiding place for voyeurs. The study is so important to the house that this arrangement basically eliminates the possibility of intruders peeping into the study.
However, the courtyard is surrounded by shade and ancient trees. Moreover, the trees are planted near the wall, which is a lot higher than the courtyard wall, and it is estimated that it is the place where the secret guards of the house live day and night.
The study is a five-room main room, which is also a pattern of one light and two darkness. The middle room is furnished as a living room, with complete tables, chairs, and tea sets, which should be used to entertain guests and rest.
Li Ziyu followed her grandfather and two uncles into the easternmost room of the study, where there were rows of bookshelves with various ancient books and rare books.
The inside and outside are separated by a masculine door, which is a thick and sturdy nanmu, and when the door is closed, no sound can be heard outside, which is very soundproof.
On the south side of the room, by the window, there is a large dark brown nanmu desk, on which are placed various colors of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Behind the table is a Taishi chair of the same color and wood, and the chair is covered with brocade cushions embroidered with patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish.
On the east, west and north sides of the wall are high bookshelves, which are not only commonly read books, but also fine paper, brush holders, brushes, inkstones and other items.
In the middle of the room, there was a bed with a complete set of bedding and pillows, which looked like it was prepared for my grandfather to rest. (To be continued.) )
