Xiao Shiji is actually not familiar with these relatives of the Xiao family's old house, he has not even seen his grandfather, he only remembers his grandmother Gu, who was partial to his youngest son at that time, that is, his second uncle Xiao Ruisheng.

And other relatives of the Xiao family in the old mansion of Luoyang, such as his grandfather's elder brothers, have long died on the battlefield of Goguryeo. And Xiao Shiji's grandfather was not conscripted because he was a young son.

Emperor Dezhen of the Great Zhou Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo, so that countless sons of good families were buried in the poor mountains and bad waters of a foreign land.

Emperor Dezhen of the Great Zhou Dynasty reigned for more than 20 years, creating countless such tragedies, and it is no wonder that when he was in power, he rose up together, and uprisings emerged one after another.

This is also one of the reasons why Great Qi was able to gain the country from the hands of Great Zhou.

Xiao Shiji returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, but he only informed his second uncle Xiao Ruisheng overnight and did not let him come with him.

If Xiao Ruisheng also came to Luoyang, no matter how he said that he was Xiao Shiji's elder, if something uncontrollable happened, it would affect their original intention of worshipping their ancestors. So Siu Shiji hinted that Siu Swee Sang should not come.

Xiao Ruisheng is now pointing to Xiao Shiji to eat, of course he will not offend his high-ranking nephew, anyway, as long as he gives him silver, he doesn't care about those false names.

Xiao Shiji thought about Chang'an and asked Yang, "Great grandmother, do you remember my second uncle?" Is it Xiao Ruisheng? ”

Yang nodded, "I know him, but I've never seen him. "It's all the grandsons of the Xiao family's grandfather, that is, her grandson, how could she not remember?

When she married into the Xiao family as a house-filler, she was a teenage girl. And the great-grandfather of the Xiao family is over forty years old, and the eldest son is older than her.

Xiao Shiji hesitated for a while and said, "My mother, do you remember?" ”

Yang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiao Shiji, "Remember." Although I have only met her once, she is the only granddaughter-in-law of my grandchildren who has come to kowtow to me, and I remember her appearance. As she spoke, she recalled: "At that time, she was very restrained and polite, gentle and quiet. Always thought that when no one was looking at her. Secretly look at your dad and smile. After speaking, he sighed, "Alas, it is not easy for her. Your dad went early, and she was a dad alone. Be a mother again. Pull the three of you brothers and sisters to grow up. Now that you are an official, you must remember to be filial to her. ”

Xiao Shiji was speechless, pursing his lips tightly. After pondering for a while, he said, "Great grandmother, you can go back to Chang'an with us." I am a descendant of the Xiao family, you are the only ancestor of our Xiao family, what is the matter if you still live in this nunnery in Luoyang? ”

Yang smiled, let Xiao Shiji come in and sit, and then took the tongs in the brazier, turned out a fragrant roasted sweet potato, skillfully pinched it out with the tongs, blew the ashes with his mouth, put it in the clay ceramic plate on the side, wiped it twice with a cloth towel, and then carefully peeled the skin.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly said: "Great grandmother, look at the heat, let me come." As he spoke, he took the earthen ceramic plate from Yang's hand, patted the roasted sweet potato with his hand, felt the heat, and then skillfully peeled off the outer skin, revealing the hot and delicate yellow potato core inside, which was fragrant.

"Grandmother, you eat." Xiao Shiji placed the clay ceramic plate in front of Yang.

Yang smiled and pushed back, "It's for you." You eat it. I still have it. As he spoke, he pointed to the inside of the brazier.

Xiao Shiji glanced at the brazier and saw that there were several bulging things in it, which seemed to be roasted sweet potatoes, so he was no longer polite, grabbed the roasted sweet potatoes with his hands, and ate them with relish.

Yang said kindly: "Eat slowly, be careful of choking." And said: "Look at your appearance, although you are out of luck now, you should have suffered a lot when you were a child, right?" - Look at your palms and mouth are calluses, when you stand and sit, you are straight, your shoulders are tight, and you look very alert. What kind of official are you doing? ”

Xiao Shiji slowly chewed the roasted sweet potato in his mouth, only feeling that there was a hint of bitterness in the sweetness, but under the careful chewing, it became more and more flavorful, and his heart was really mixed.

"Great-grandmother, I ...... I'm in the military. Xiao Shiji muttered.

"In the army?" Yang suddenly changed color, and grabbed Xiao Shiji's hand suddenly, "Then didn't your official get it in exchange for his life?" - Brother and brother, let's not be this official anymore, ah? There are only two of you brothers left in the Xiao family now, if you have three longs and two shorts, what if you become a first-class master? Are there still fewer people in the Xiao family who died on the battlefield? As he spoke, he began to sob.

Although these sons and grandsons of the Xiao family are not her own, she has lived with them for so long, watched them grow up, and watched them die one by one, even if those sons of the Xiao family were not authentic to her at the beginning, but everyone died, why should she care? Besides, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? - She married into the Xiao family, which is the Xiao family. Although she told the little nun Hui Ren that she was no longer the Xiao family, it was just an excuse that she didn't want to cause trouble to Xiao Shiji.

When Xiao Shiji heard Yang's words, he really felt a little embarrassed about his previous calculations, so he hurriedly put down the earthen ceramic plate, knelt in front of Yang, respectfully kowtowed to her three times, and said ashamedly: "Great grandmother, my great-grandson has just concealed some things, and I hope that my great-grandmother will forgive me." ”

Yang Shi was stunned, and then looked at Xiao Shiji and said, "Oh, isn't it your official?" You're not a six-rank official? - You're not an official at all, are you? I thought Xiao Shiji was using being an official to make her happy, "It's nothing, children like to talk big." I know it all. ”

Xiao Shiji only felt the sweat on his back trickle out, fell to the ground, and finally said in a deep voice: "It is indeed about the official position of the great-grandson." After a pause, he continued: "The great-grandson is not a six-rank official. - Great-grandson, now the Marquis of Zhuguo of Daqi, the official worships the second-rank Shenwu general. As he spoke, he took out the token of the Marquis of Zhu Guo and presented it to the Yang clan with both hands. He paid the seal letter, but the official position is still there, but now he has no real power.

Yang Shi was stunned, sat there quietly, looked down at the token for a long time, and then sighed leisurely, got up from his seat, walked towards a small spiritual tablet in the corner of the meditation room. She stood in front of the divine throne, her hands and Shi, and muttered, "Master, did you hear me?" Our descendants of the Xiao family are really out of breath......" said as he covered his face and cried silently in front of the throne.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly stood up, and also came to the front of the god throne and saw the spirit tablet. ——It turned out to be a simple little wooden sign made by Yang himself, with the name of his great-grandfather written on it.

Xiao Shiji knelt down and kowtowed again, offering incense to his great-grandfather's shrine.

Yang Shirang aside, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Okay, I know everything." Brother He'er, you are a good boy, our Xiao family's ancestors and ancestors are proud of you. - Go back, I'm glad you have the heart to see me now. ”

Xiao Shihe took Yang's hand back to the position just now and sat down, and found that Yang's hand was very cold, and then looked at Yang's big jacket that was thick but bulging, and at a glance, he knew that the core inside the road was knotted, and it was definitely not a new jacket, let alone wearing leather, it was definitely not warm.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly untied the big drums on his body, put it on the Yang family, and insisted: "Great grandmother, you must at least go back to live in the Xiao family's old mansion, and you can't live in this nunnery anymore." "If you can't persuade the Yang family to go back to Chang'an with him immediately, let's take it step by step, let her go back to the Xiao family's old house first.

Seeing that Yang still shook his head with a smile, Xiao Shiji had no choice but to sacrifice the killer weapon, "...... The great-grandmother also knew that I am now a marquis, and if I let people know that you live alone, I will sue me for being unfilial in front of Your Majesty. Are you willing to watch our Xiao family's title be condemned by His Majesty because of this matter? ”

Yang really hesitated and looked at Xiao Shiji, "Won't it?" If you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows that I live here? He added, "I'm old, and I don't have a few days to live, so soon you won't have to worry about me." ”

Xiao Shiji was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Great grandmother, don't say that. After thinking about it, I had to take out my twin sons and give them a try, "It's not a secret, now that we are back in Luoyang, we are returning to our hometown to worship our ancestors at the behest of His Majesty." Who is in our Xiao family and where they live, His Majesty knows everything clearly, and he can't hide it if he wants to. Also, I got married more than four years ago, and now I have a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, who are just over three years old. They came to Luoyang with me, don't you want to meet them? ”

Xiao Shiji's twin sons are the great-great-grandsons of the Yang family.

Yang was a little moved, "They also came to Luoyang?" ”

"Exactly, I live in the Xiao family's old mansion." Xiao Shihe calmly nodded his head, helped Yang and walked out the door.

Yang Shi excused himself slightly, and said: "I also have a servant woman here, she has followed me since I was a girl, and she has never left me for all these years. ”

Xiao Shiji hurriedly said: "This mother has done her filial piety on our behalf and has served her great-grandmother for so many years, so she should go back with us." I'll find her a few maids and serve her well. ”

Yang nodded, "She has followed me for all these years, she has suffered a lot, and she has severe rheumatism in her legs, if you can help her find a good Chinese medicine doctor, it is better than anything else." ”

Xiao Shiji also agreed, and when the servant woman came over, Yang said, "You can go back to the Xiao family's old house with us for a few days." The Xiao family went back to Luoyang to worship their ancestors, and I had to go back and take a look. ”

The servant woman looked much older than the Yang family, and said busily: "The old lady is waiting for the slave maid to pack up the baggage." ”

Xiao Shiji had to wait outside the door, and when the two of them packed up two big burdens and carried them on their backs, they came out and followed Xiao Shiji back to the old house.

In the upper room of the main courtyard in the backyard of the Xiao family's old house, Long Xiangye had woken up and was no longer groggy. She took the sedative pill all the way and slept all the way. At this time, he came to his senses, and asked his subordinates to fetch hot water to take a bath.

Mei Xiang persuaded: "Old lady, there is no earth dragon here, it is very cold, just wipe your body, so as not to catch a cold." ”

Long Xiangye didn't listen, and insisted on washing, but a mother-in-law came outside to summon the message, "Old lady, Mrs. Zeng is here, and the Hou Ye asked you to go out to see the ceremony." ”
