"Girl, the time to open the ancestral hall is almost up, and the old lady said to let you go over and ask you a few words."

Xue Ling looked over and had already guessed in his heart that he was afraid that it was for Nangong Chen's sake to make that fuss.

"Ah Ling, you go to see your grandmother, I'll go over directly when the time comes." Jiang Yue said to Xue Ling.

Xue Ling answered and came to Old Lady Xue's house.

Old Lady Xue's expression was different from the previous dignified, Xue Ling was a little puzzled, she didn't make a sound, just walked in gently.

Old Lady Xue frowned deeply, looked at Xue Ling, and couldn't say a word.

With such a look, Xue Ling hadn't seen it for a long time.

"Grandmother"

Xue Ling took the initiative to say, "Grandmother has heard about the son, and it is better to say some things in advance, so grandmother doesn't have to worry." ”

"Come here," Old Lady Xue sighed softly and beckoned to Xue Ling, her eyes full of pity,

Xue Ling stepped forward and sat next to Old Lady Xue.

"Ah Ling, although you are young, you have experienced these few days, and you are also very steady, when the ancestral hall will be opened in a while, you will have to set an heir, once it is decided, there will be no repentance, and now the situation of the Xue family You should also know, grandmother has a few paths here, I want you to choose a good choice."

Xue Ling said, "Grandmother doesn't have to say it, I've already thought about it very clearly." ”

Old Madam Xue shook her head, "After you listen to me, your uncle and grandfather just came once." ”

Xue Ling's heart jumped, it turned out that it was not because of Nangong Chen, grandmother was worried about something else.

"Ah Ling, I know what you think, I used to think so, but now,"

Old Mrs. Xue sighed, "The predicament faced by the Xue family is not what it used to be, and my grandmother only hopes that my Ah Ling'an will live a stable life." ”

Xue Ling said, "Grandmother, please speak, Ah Ling listen." ”

Old Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Ling, "Grandmother said directly, you and the son of the childhood sweetheart, I had an agreement with your aunt in private in the past, at that time, the prince and your father were also happy to see it, but now it is different, the prince is eloquent and strategic, and has a better arrangement for the marriage of the prince." ”

Xue Ling listened quietly to Mrs. Xue's words, and did not interrupt, and then said, "Grandmother, I am young, and I haven't thought about these things, the prince has revealed some things between his words, and I have already made it clear to the prince, so there is no need to mention this matter again." ”

Mrs. Xue carefully observed Xue Ling's expression, and there was no slightest emotional fluctuation, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, what she was most worried about was the secret affection between boys and girls, and it was a little unbearable to be beaten by a mandarin duck like this, but now it seems that Xue Ling didn't take it to heart, so she said, "Ah Ling, you did the right thing,"

Old Madam Xue paused for a while, and it seemed that some words were still difficult to speak.

Xue Ling knew that it was nothing more than a marriage or something.

Mrs. Xue crossed her mother and talked to her directly about the marriage, and she could probably feel that she inadvertently revealed her decisiveness and rationality, but she was afraid of her age, so she hesitated when she spoke.

Xue Ling doesn't like to beat around the bush, "If grandmother wants to talk about my marriage, just say it, don't worry too much." ”

Only then did Mrs. Xue speak, "If you want to live a stable life, I entrusted your aunt to find a suitable eunuch, she feels guilty about you in her heart, and she will definitely do her best." In the future, if you have an official family to take care of you, as long as you take care of your family affairs with peace of mind, you will be able to live a stable life, are you willing? ”

Xue Ling remembered that her grandmother had said it once before, at that time, just after the witch doctor's election ended, Xue Yuan was defeated, and Xue Hao's ranking was not as good as her.

At that time, her grandmother asked her opinion in private.

At that time, she also denied it.

The woman is weak, and the burden of revitalizing the family is too heavy, and my grandmother has always wanted her to embark on the road of inheriting the family.

It's just that her state of mind at that time was completely different from now.

At that time, she was resolute to go away with a strong man and never return.

She didn't know what awaited her, she didn't know what she would face next, and she didn't know if she could do it, but at that time she was like a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger, and said urgently, "No, grandmother, I think very clearly." ”

And now she knows what she wants, knows what she is going to face, she no longer has the eagerness of the previous life, she just spits out a sentence in a low voice, exactly the same as the previous life, but the tone and look are completely different.

"No, grandmother, I think very clearly."

Not used in the previous life, in the previous life, when Mrs. Xue heard her say that, she looked at her worriedly.

And the old lady Xue in front of her just nodded, "It stands to reason that I should discuss these words with your mother, your mother said, you are already old, you have your own opinions, and the most important thing is that you have to go on your own, no matter how your grandmother or your mother worries about you, it is you who will experience everything in the end." ”

Xue Ling replied softly.

She found her peace of mind and a little more strategic, but when she heard the same words again, she felt differently.

She knelt on her grandmother's knees, and the young self appeared in her mind, she pretended to be calm in that life, and she seemed fearless in her words, but those who have really experienced it can see at a glance the implicit helplessness in her heart.

Just like now, she wants to pretend to be unconcerned about the world, but she can't pretend to be there.

Experiencing this kind of thing will be carved into the bone marrow.

Xue Ling said, "Thank you, grandmother. ”

After saying this thanks, something seemed to fall in her heart.

The complicated feelings for my grandmother in my previous life finally let go of them at this moment.

Xue Ling said, "Grandmother is a person who has come over, and may think that I am not thoughtful at this age, and if I am not careful, I will take a detour, in fact, I have thought very clearly, I have the medical skills of the Xue family in my hands, and it is impossible to marry the children of the family, if you want to marry, you can only marry into the official family, but we are different from the official family, I have been studying medicine with my father since I was a child, I have never studied poetry, books, etiquette and music, and I am not a lady, I really can't be an official wife who takes care of housework." ”

Old Lady Xue listened to Xue Ling analyze her heart for a long time before she said, "In this way, there is only one way left." ”

Old Lady Xue took Xue Ling's hand, "I can tell the clan that I will leave you at home to recruit money, and you can also try your best to support your cousin when the time comes, just recruit money,"

Old Lady Xue sighed, "A man who is willing to be rich must be mediocre in appearance and mediocre in qualifications, and my Ah Ling should be worthy of the best." ”
