Chapter 191: Cousin (1)
The first thing Tang Xiu did when he returned to the mansion was to take Pei Cai'er to Mrs. Tai's room to greet Mrs. Tai, and by the way, he asked Mrs. Tai about those things about her relatives in the Tang Mansion.
For example, Cheng Biting Jin, such as Mrs. Cheng, such as Yu Chi Jingde, such as Yu Chi Huilan, these are all questions that Tang Xiu has thought about all the way, so he desperately wants to get the most accurate answer from Mrs. Tai's mouth.
"Alas!"
Before answering Tang Xiu's question, Mrs. Tai first let out a long sigh, looked up at Tang Xiu deeply, and said slowly: "Before, when you said that you were going to Chang'an to play, the old body knew that these things would not be hidden for a long time, but now it seems that it is true." ”
"I didn't expect that on this trip to Chang'an, your grandfather's previous acquaintances, who should have met and who shouldn't have met, have met a lot of people."
Tang Xiu and Pei Cai'er didn't speak, and they all waited quietly for Mrs. Tai's next statement.
"The old body has mentioned it to you more than once before, saying that your grandfather was one of the best people in Chang'an back then, but you little cub only cares about spending money and losing money all day long, and you don't care about your grandfather's previous affairs at all. In addition, the old man had chosen to live in seclusion before his death, and he did not allow his family to mention the previous things again, so it is normal for you not to know some things. ”
Mrs. Tai said softly: "Cheng Yanjin didn't lie and deceive you, he is indeed your grandfather's good brother back then, and he is also the brother-in-law of the old body, your aunt and grandfather!" ”
"And that old thing of Wei Chi Jingde, who is indeed your mother Huixin's biological father, your grandfather! Therefore, the three brothers and sisters you brought back are indeed the children of your aunt's family, your own cousins and cousins. ”
For the old lady's answer, Tang Xiu had already been mentally prepared before, so he didn't feel too surprised, just nodded lightly and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't recognize the wrong person, as long as there was no one digging a pit waiting for him.
"Your grandfather is not allowed to mention the previous grievances, and the old man doesn't want to go into more details," Mrs. Tai said lightly: "You just need to remember one thing, although those old things are not bad, they are definitely not good people, and you remember to pay more attention when you contact them in the future." Don't think that if it's your own relatives, you will give people hearts and lungs, otherwise we will only suffer at that time. ”
Tang Xiu's expression moved, and he asked softly: "Grandma's words seem to mean something else, is it that grandpa has suffered the losses of these relatives before?" Grandpa suddenly chose to escape from the world and leave Beijing, wouldn't it be because of these relatives......"
"These are the grievances of the previous generation, you don't need to know it as a junior, and even if you do, it's useless." Mrs. Tai shook her head lightly and sighed: "It's been almost thirty years, and those people died back then, so what's the use of mentioning them now?" You just need to remember that the Tang family's medical skills and medicinal diet will never be passed on. ”
"Of course, you are a young man, if you want to go out and have a fight, grandma will not stop you anymore, young people should go out to walk more and see the world, always nesting in this small place in Taiyuan is not a long-term solution!"
"Huh?" Tang Xiu shook his head decisively when he heard this, "No, I think Taiyuan is very good here, although it is not as big and prosperous as Chang'an City, but there are not so many troubles and incidents, I will take root here in Taiyuan in the future, and I will not go anywhere!" ”
"I ......"
Mrs. Tai opened her mouth and glanced at Tang Xiu a little speechlessly, and then slapped Tang Xiu's head with a slap.
"That's it, that's it, I already know that you little rabbit cub has no ambitions, since you don't want to go out and wander, it's all up to you, and it just happens to fulfill your grandfather's last wish to make your life safe and rich."
"However, since you have already shown your face in Chang'an City, and you have been recognized by so many people, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to stay in Taiyuan in peace and sound like before in the future......
Tang Xiu chuckled and replied: "Grandma, don't worry, as long as the grandson doesn't want to leave Taiyuan, who can tie up the grandson and leave?" ”
"You don't understand," Mrs. Tai shook her head slightly, and said a little vaguely: "There are some things that you can't do as you want, if those people really want to invite our Tang clan out of the mountain, I'm afraid many things can't help you!" ”
"Grandma is too worried, unless there is a holy decree to come, or I want to go out to play, no one wants me to leave Taiyuan." Tang Xiu got up, saluted Mrs. Tai, and said, "Since Yu Chi Dabao, Xiao Bao and Shanshan are really my cousins and cousins, naturally I can't be as sloppy as before, my grandson will go and call them to meet grandma, and they will be a family in the future, but they can't be too angry." ”
"Well, yes, you can go now."
Mrs. Tai waved her hand at Tang Xiu, and after Tang Xiu left the room, the old lady sighed softly again, this little rabbit cub, if the time comes, do you think that the holy decree that you think of will not come, will really not come?
Out of the room, Tang Xiu did not go directly to Yu Chi Dabao and them, but instructed Tang Lu to ask Tang Lu to invite the three of them to come over to visit the old lady, and Tang Xiu himself took some watermelons that had not been eaten at home out of the mansion and went straight to the nearby Dadu Governor's Mansion.
Cheng Chuliang helped their Tang family so much this time, no matter in any way, whether there is such a relationship with or without this level of kinship, Tang Xiu has to go there in person.
When Tang Xiu arrived at Cheng's mansion, Cheng Chuliang was still in his grandfather's business and did not return to the house, and Cheng Boyu also happened to go out to fool around and did not come back, and only Princess Li Jing of Qinghe was alone in Cheng's mansion.
Originally, Tang Xiu planned to go back first, but who would have thought that after Princess Qinghe learned that it was Tang Xiu who came to visit, she directly ordered the chief housekeeper in the house to welcome Tang Xiu in.
"Steward Cheng, only Mrs. Cheng is alone, it is really presumptuous for Tang to go over like this, why don't you wait for tomorrow to come back?"
Standing in the hospitality room of the Cheng Mansion, Tang Xiu looked at Cheng Fu, the housekeeper of the Cheng Mansion, and was a little reluctant in his heart, now that it was night, and there was only the hostess in the Cheng Mansion, it was really a little inappropriate for him to stay here as a big man.
"Hehe," Cheng Fu smiled disapprovingly, and continued: "The cousin young master has seen the outside, you are the cousin of my young master, and the cousin of my lord and wife, they are all a family, and there is not so much evasion." ”
"Madame also doesn't treat the young master as an outsider, and she knows that the young master asks to see her, so she opened this mouth, otherwise, Madame usually doesn't see outsiders. Therefore, the young master of the table should not see each other again, and let the old slave in. ”
"Huh?"
Tang Xiu nodded helplessly, and as soon as Cheng Fu's words came out, if he was hypocritical, it would not be to avoid it, but to show that he had some dirty thoughts in his heart.
A cousin who has never met before, after all, is also his own elder, just see it!
