Chapter 33: The Guest
"Madam, old lady, please take the eldest lady over and say that I have something to tell you."
Back at home, Shu Xuan and his party had just put down their luggage, and before they had time to tidy up, the old lady sent someone to invite them over.
"Really, what's going on with Grandma? We've just arrived home, we've been riding all the way in the carriage, we're almost exhausted, and we haven't rested yet! Just in such a hurry to ask us to pass, I don't know what the hell is going on? So urgent! ”
Shuxuan couldn't help but muttered in her heart when she heard the maid's words.
But no matter how unhappy Shuxuan was, the old lady had to go if she was summoned.
Hearing the maid's words, Mrs. Liu didn't care about packing up her things, and hurriedly rushed over with Shuxuan.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the old lady's courtyard, before he could enter, Shuxuan heard a burst of laughter from the house, listening to the voice, it was the voice of a strange woman.
Shu Xuan looked curiously with her divine sense, and saw the old lady sitting on the main seat with a smile on her face, and Aunt Zhao and Aunt Su both took their daughters to accompany the old lady to talk there.
There was also a woman I didn't know laughing there, and there was a little boy standing next to her, who should be about the same age as Shuxuan in appearance.
Could this be the woman whose father is outside? Now that I gave birth to a boy, my father knew about it, so I was picked up, and the old lady was so happy because she fulfilled her desire to hold her grandson?
The reason why I called myself and others here was just to get to know myself.
With such doubts, Mrs. Liu walked into the old lady's room with Shuxuan.
After saluting, Shuxuan went behind Mrs. Liu and stood with her head bowed as usual, without saying a word.
"Xuanxuan, come to grandma, I miss grandma if I haven't seen her for a few days, come and let grandma take a good look."
Shu Xuan had just stood up when she heard the old lady calling her.
Shuxuan raised her head and looked towards the old lady, only to see her looking at herself with a kind face, and her face was about to smile like a flower.
"Grandma, you call me?" Shuxuan asked suspiciously, why did her grandmother, who usually never pays attention to herself, remember to greet herself today? There must be a problem!
"That's right! Come here, come to grandma, you see you've lost weight in the past few days, and you definitely haven't eaten well outside. The old lady pretended to be kind and beckoned to Shuxuan, but Shuxuan had already seen through her tricks.
But when Shu Xuan saw the old lady like that, she couldn't help but feel a little hairy in her heart, what kind of idea was this person making?
Thinking about it, Shuxuan still walked slowly towards the old lady.
"Xuanxuan, let me introduce you, this is a relative of grandma, you can call her aunt in the future."
As soon as Shuxuan passed, the old lady didn't say anything, so she took Shuxuan's hand and introduced her.
Hearing the old lady's words, Shu Xuan knew that she was thinking about it, and she was just a relative of the old lady's mother's family.
"This boy is your Aunt Su's son, his name is Su Qingran, you should call him cousin. In the future, they will live in our house, and I see that you are all about the same age, and you can play together often in the future. ”
"Aunt Su is good, cousin is good." After hearing this, Shuxuan saluted them, called softly, and stood there without speaking.
"This kid just doesn't like to talk much, but it's good to get familiar with it later."
Seeing that Shuxuan didn't speak, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and she hurriedly came out to play a round.
"I'm really embarrassed, Xuanxuan, this child has been shy since he was a child and doesn't like to talk, which makes everyone laugh."
Mrs. Liu was not very happy to see the old lady, and hurriedly followed the old lady's words, which can be regarded as giving her a step.
"It's okay, it's normal for girls to be shy at all, if it's as naughty as my family Qingran, it's really worrying!"
The old lady asked the woman who called her aunt to speak.
For a while, everyone chatted about the child again, resolving the awkward atmosphere just now.
Shuxuan stood there, watching the group of people chatting hypocritically there, and didn't know what to do for a while.
However, from their chat, Shuxuan learned that this Aunt Su was the daughter-in-law of the old lady's younger brother.
The reason why they came here was because their family was in trouble, except for Mrs. Su, who took the children to live in the courtyard for a few days, everyone else was killed by the bandits who came from the house, and the family's property was also looted, and now they are left with orphans and widows, and it is not easy to survive in this world, so they packed up and came to join the old lady.
Shu Xuan learned about this situation, and couldn't help but look towards Su Qingran, in fact, if you look closely, this little boy is also very good-looking, although he is standing there quietly at this time, Shu Xuan still notices his bony eyes, and sure enough, as his mother said, he is a naughty child.
However, Shuxuan also lost interest in him at a glance, just an ordinary person, there will be no threat to him, he can live here and live here, anyway, he doesn't have to worry about himself.
But just when Shu Xuan was about to retract her attention, she suddenly found that Shu Xue was staring at Su Qingran, and she showed a thoughtful expression.
Shu Xuan looked at Shu Xue like that, and had a bad premonition in her heart, this crossing girl shouldn't be ready to do something, right? She stared at other boys like that, could it be that she was preparing to hook up with this little young seedling! Want to have a cult?
I'll go! People are still children, and they are just such a lone seedling in their family, so don't go to harm others.
It seems that you should pay more attention to these two people in the future, Shuxuan made a decision in her heart.
"Auntie, thank you so much for taking us in, otherwise Qingran and I really don't know what to do."
Shu Xuan came back to her senses after thinking about it, and heard Mrs. Su say such a sentence.
"Okay, I know, don't think about it too much, just treat this place as your home, live here with peace of mind, and come to accompany my wife more if you have nothing to do."
The old lady took Mrs. Su's hand, patted it gently, and said.
It can be seen that she still cares about her brother's surviving family.
"Well, aunt, I really don't know how to repay your kindness, I will come to talk to you as long as I have time."
When Mrs. Su heard the old lady's words, she seemed to be about to cry, and said in a choked voice.
"Okay, you're tired all the way over, go back early and rest, there will be time later. You all go back, you don't have to accompany me, an old woman. The old lady probably said that she was tired, so she asked everyone to go back.
