The small hall is not big, except for some commonly used tables, chairs, benches, lighting fixtures and some toiletries, there is nothing else, what porcelain, what screens are all invisible, very shabby.

Tang Xiu pushed the door and entered the room, and what caught his eye was a silver-haired old lady sitting peacefully in front of the table and chair in the main hall, eating breakfast slowly.

The bowl is served with gruel, and the only dish on the table is green vegetable tofu, and it is also boiled, a very simple breakfast, which simply makes people look a little sad.

But even so, the old lady still ate with such relish, a bite of gruel, and ate very seriously, she didn't even look up when Tang Xiu came in.

"My grandson has seen grandma!"

The old lady didn't care about herself, but Tang Xiu couldn't and didn't say anything, and took the initiative to step forward and bow respectfully to the old lady.

"Grandma? Didn't you always call me an old woman before, but today it's polite. ”

The old lady put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, glanced up at Tang Xiu for the first time, and asked in a lukewarm tone: "If the old body remembers well, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to come over to visit the old body in half a year, if there is anything, just say it." ”

Hearing the resentment and coldness in the old lady's heart, Tang Xiu bowed down again and said, "It was the grandson who was wrong before, and the grandson is here to make amends to grandma." If grandma is angry in her heart, she can beat or scold, and her grandson will have no complaints, as long as grandma can eliminate the anger in her heart. ”

While speaking, Tang Xiu glanced up at the old lady slightly, her eyebrows were kind, and she was not as old-fashioned as Tang Xiu imagined, although her face was full of anger, but her spirit was good, her face was ruddy, her eyes were bright, and she looked very healthy.

The only fly in the ointment is that the old lady's mouth, probably because of the loss of all her teeth, without the support of her teeth, the whole mouth looks wrinkled, which adds a bit of old age to the old lady.

No wonder she only eats gruel and tofu, in addition to the limited conditions in the house, the old lady's own teeth are also a major reason.

"It's grown a lot." The old lady was a little surprised, and looked at Tang Xiu with her eyes: "Taking retreat as advance, the surface work is also good, and you know that you have come to fool me, an old woman." But the old body still prefers your previous faceless appearance, if you have anything to say, just say it, the old body listens to that. ”

Oil and salt are not soaked, this is, Tang Xiu couldn't help but curse the previous Tang Xiu countless times in his heart, even his own grandmother to prevent him is the same as a thief, how far did this Tang Xiu have to be a bastard before?

Grandma laughed. Tang Xiu forced a smile on his face: "I just want to come over to see grandma, there is no side meaning, if grandma doesn't like it, grandchildren will retire." ”

Saying that, Tang Xiu took two steps back and left, seeing that the old lady was still sitting there without the slightest intention of wanting to open his mouth to stay, Tang Xiu smiled bitterly, retreated to the door and said respectfully again: "Grandma, the so-called road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time, the grandson really knows that he is wrong this time, and sincerely wants to repent, if you don't believe it, just look at the grandson's performance in the future." ”

After speaking, Tang Xiu retreated in defeat, it seemed that it was unlikely that he would want to change his image in the old lady's heart in a short period of time, so he could only take one step at a time.

"The road knows the horsepower, and the people ...... see the hearts of the people over time"

Tang Shi was no longer in the mood to eat, and he was tired of chewing Tang Xiu's words in his heart, and he couldn't guess what her grandson was thinking about coming over this time.

"Qianhe, has there been something wrong in the house recently?"

"Huh?" The little girl who had just led Tang Xiu in was stunned, and replied softly with some hesitation: "Mrs. Tai, nothing has changed, everything is as usual in the house." ”

"Business as usual?" Tang squinted his eyes slightly and stared at Qianhe: "If everything is as usual, why are the meals getting simpler and simpler these days?" If everything is as usual, why are there fewer and fewer people in the house in the past? Although the old body is old, the brain is not confused! ”

The old lady's eyes were sharp, and her tone was quite angry, and at the end of the sentence, she even raised her hand and slapped the tabletop, and the gruel in the bowl spilled a lot.

"Mrs. Tai is angry, Mrs. Tai forgives her sins!"

The little girl was so frightened that she fell to her knees, although Mrs. Tai was not treated by Tang Xiu on weekdays, but she was still Mrs. Tai in the house after all, Yu Wei was still there, how could a teenage girl in Qianhe withstand her intimidation?

"Okay," Tang's tone slowed down, and he asked softly, "Tell me, what happened to make Tang Xiu, a lawless rebel, become so docile and honest?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Tai's words," Qianhe replied in a low voice: "The slave maid has been waiting by Mrs. Tai's side for a while, and the slave and maid don't know exactly what happened, but I heard Tang Lu and them sometimes mention it, such as the young master was seriously injured by the young lady during the wedding, and after waking up, he forgot many things, and people became much kinder." ”

"Also," glanced up at Mrs. Tai, and seeing that the old lady was still not very satisfied, Qianhe continued: "In order to prepare wedding banquet utensils for the young master, almost all the cash in the house has been exhausted, and now all the expenses in the house can only be barely spent with the support of the young lady." ”

"The subordinates in the mansion saw that the young master couldn't even issue the daily routine on time, and many people sneaked out of the mansion to find another way."

"However, according to Tang Lu's private words, in fact, these are all secretly acquiesced by Steward Tang in order to save expenses, after all, the Tang Mansion can no longer afford to raise too many idlers, and after a while, some people just don't want to leave, and Steward Tang will probably find a way to dismiss them."

"I see." Tang's expression suddenly became a little lonely: "I knew that there would be such a day, but the old body never thought that this day would come so quickly." ”

"That girl from the Pei family is good, but it's a pity that she married in the wrong place, alas!"

With a light sigh, Tang waved his hand at Qianhe, sent her down, and sat alone at the dining table in a daze.

"Master, master, originally the concubine thought that it would be good to wait quietly for the day when she died, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, whether they are filial or not, as long as they can pass on the bloodline of the Tang family safely."

"But now, Tang Xiu's kid is really too disagreeable, it only took less than half a year to lose the savings of the entire Tang Mansion for nearly a hundred years, it seems that even this god doesn't want the concubine to die in peace."

"Master, the Tang Mansion can't decline, the Tang family's bloodline can't be broken, this is something you've been talking about since your lifetime, and now the Tang family has been ruined by Tang Xiu's kid to this point, it's time to teach him some lessons, and discipline him well, alas!"

After babbling a lot of thoughts, Tang stood up suddenly, his eyes were shining, and the whole person was awe-inspiring at this moment, not at all like an old man who was nearly seventy years old.

At this time, Qianhe's voice came from outside: "Mrs. Tai, Steward Tang came over, saying that according to the instructions of the young master, he wanted to take Mrs. Tai back to the main house in the backyard to live." ”

"Oh?"

Tang Shi was stunned for a moment, the momentum on his body disappeared quietly, and the gaze in his eyes gradually softened, and slowly sat down again, Tang Shi commanded softly: "Let him come in and talk." ”

"Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he will see people's hearts for a long time, after all, he is the head of the family, whether it is a chance to give him another chance, whether it is a conspiracy or a sincere repentance, as long as he has that ability......"

"Otherwise, you can only be wronged to be a tool for the Tang family to inherit the lineage, alas, ......"
