Su Xia's small courtyard is in the westernmost corner of the inner courtyard. Outside the courtyard wall is a deserted street, it stands to reason that the young lady of a large family generally does not live in this kind of courtyard, but because of Su Xia's mother, Mrs. Hua hates her very much, and there is nothing to say about living in this kind of place.

There was still an old woman in the yard, who looked like she was in her sixties, and her sideburns were gray.

Seeing Su Xia come back, old tears flowed out all of a sudden, "Sixth Miss, you can come back." The old slave thinks you are so tight, I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime. ”

In Su Xia's memory, this old grandmother is called Mama Wang, and she is Su Xia's mother's nurse. When her mother died, it was this old grandmother who had been taking care of Su Xia, but when she was old, it was useless, and when Mrs. Hua bullied Su Xia, although she was anxious to cry beside her, she couldn't protect Su Xia.

Su Xia was very grateful for the warmth that the old grandmother gave her in the darkest years of the original owner, and stepped forward to hold Mama Wang's hand, "Mama Wang, I'm sorry, I must have scared you out if I didn't say goodbye back then." Don't cry, I'm back. ”

Mama Wang wiped the tears on her face, and then saw that Su Xia was followed by a young man, handsome and richly dressed, and at first glance he was the son of a rich and noble family, she asked Su Xia suspiciously: "Who is this little minister?" ”

Su Xia looked back at Rong Hao and said with a smile: "This is the seventh son of the Holy Lord today, that is, the Seventh Prince, I escaped to live in the Seventh Prince's Mansion." ”

The old lady was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and saluted, this old woman had never seen such a big official in her life, and she was so frightened that she trembled.

Rong Hao helped her up, "Mama Wang doesn't need to salute, you can just treat me like Su Xia." ”

Mama Wang remembered that Su Xia was holding the hand of this noble man when she entered the door, and she knew in her heart that this prince was probably the sixth lady's son-in-law.

Rong Hao looked around at this small courtyard, the yard was very small, and the buildings inside had some traces of dilapidation, although it had just been cleaned in the morning, it still looked very old and dilapidated. The nameless fire in his heart flared up, "How can my Su Xia live in this kind of house, I'll go to Su Xiang to change places for you." ”

"Lord Wang, you don't have to worry about this, since I'm back, I won't let anyone take care of it. When I settle down, I will go to my father myself, and I will have to have an explanation. Su Xia grabbed Rong Hao's hand and dissuaded him in a low voice.

Looking at the face with a hint of stubbornness in front of him, Rong Hao angrily kicked a flower pot in front of him, "This Fahrenheit is simply too deceitful." ”

When the old lady saw the nobleman lose her temper, she almost fell to her knees in fright. Su Xia was a little amused, stretched out her hand to grab her, and said to Rong Hao: "Look, you scared Mama Wang again." Lord, if you don't go back first, with Cuihua and them, I'll be fine. Hasn't the forbidden army been busy lately? Hurry up and get down to business, don't let these little things in the house be delayed. ”

Rong Hao looked at Mama Wang's uncomfortable expression, and then looked at Su Xia Chengzhu's chest, and nodded, "Then I'll go to do things first, you remember to eat well, Cuihua." ”

Cuihua heard her prince call herself, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Here." ”

"You take good care of Su Xia, if something happens, this king is the only one who asks." Rong Hao took the shelf and commanded to Cuihua. In fact, there is no need for him to tell anything, Cuihua acts very safely, and this palace maid likes Su Xia very much, and Rong Hao is very relieved of her.

finally sent Rong Hao away, and Cuihua took the girls to clean up the house for Su Xia.

It's out of place here. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as spacious as the Royal Mansion, the family of the dignified and first-class officials is still very magnificent. The decoration everywhere is also exquisite, only the small courtyard of Suxia.

The furniture is half-old, before the people lived here, yesterday Mrs. Hua heard that Su Xia was coming back, so she sent someone to the warehouse to move some old furniture. The walls were already a little yellowed, the corners of the roof were still covered with uncleaned cobwebs, and the curtains were old.

Cuihua pinched her nose and leaned in front of Su Xia, "Miss, you said that this place is so messy and old, how can you live?" "Don't blame her for disliking it, she is the eldest girl in the palace, and the place where she lives is thousands of times better than Su Xia, the young lady of the Xiangfu.

Su Xia looked at the scene in front of him, and he also wanted to cry without tears, in the palace Ronghao every day, he was raised every day, and now he suddenly came to this old and dilapidated environment, which was indeed unacceptable for a while. She sighed, and Cuihua thoughtfully handed over a cup of jasmine tea. He quietly took a sip of tea and gently put the teacup on the table.

Standing up, he straightened the folds on his clothes, "Cuihua, accompany me to find my father." ”

The little girls were packing up their things in an orderly manner, Cuihua looked around, and it shouldn't go wrong with Mama Wang following behind, and nodded, "Yes, miss." He followed Su Xia out of the courtyard.

Su Xia was reading a book in the study at this time, and there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Pushing open the door, Su Xia was almost crying, and the place where his father read books was thousands of times better than the place where he lived.

"Daddy." Su Xia shouted sweetly.

Su Xiang raised his head and turned against the light, Su Xia's face was not very clear, which made Su Xiang a little trance for a while, looking at Su Xia like this, he really missed his cousin so much. He was slightly stunned and put down the book in his hand.

Cleared his throat, "Sixth, have you packed your things?" ”

Su Xia nodded, "Back to my father, the girls are already cleaning up." ”

"Well, what's the shortage? If so, tell your mother and let her send it to you. Su Xiang is very satisfied that this daughter has become so well-behaved and sensible now, in his memory, Su Xia used to see him like a mouse seeing a cat, slipping away, let alone talking to himself without being humble or arrogant like now.

"My daughter came today to invite her father to sit in my yard." Su Xia followed the direction of Su Xiang's finger and sat on a chair on the side, "The girl brought by my daughter in the palace has a special ability to cook, and I want to invite my father to have lunch in my yard today." Su Xia twisted her handkerchief and stared at Su Xiang with some expectation.

Su Xiang thought for a moment, "You just returned home today, don't you eat with everyone at noon?" Your mother ordered a lot of good dishes to be prepared. ”

Su Xia shook his head, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes, "Father, I haven't been back for almost three years, and there are traces of my mother everywhere in the yard, I think you don't dare to go to see it because you remember your mother, now that you and my father and daughter are finally reunited, it's better to go there first to comfort my mother." said it very sincerely, and secretly said in my heart that I was really a little genius in acting, and tears came when I said it.

also took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, "Daddy, I think my mother must miss you very much." "Nonsense, I must have not been there for a long time, the yard is broken into that look, how do you look at my father, I don't look like an infatuated person who goes to see it every day.

Su Xiang heard her very earnestly, and he was also moved, "Okay, okay, as you want, my father will accompany you to eat at noon today." When the time comes, let you bring that girl to cook a few more good dishes, put an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks, and we will also accompany your mother to have a meal. ”

Su Xia wiped away her tears and immediately smiled, "It's still Daddy's most affectionate daughter, daughter thank Daddy, then Daddy will go back to prepare first, Daddy will hurry over after finishing his official duties." "It's outrageous to be well-behaved, if Rong Hao is here, he probably can't help but give her a thumbs up.

Su Xiang nodded, "You go first, wait for your father for a while, and come right away." ”

The sunlight outside spilled in, and Su Xia left Su Xiang's study with Cuihua with a spring breeze on her face.

At noon, Su Xiang arrived at Su Xia's courtyard as promised, and the courtyard door was wide open. Su Xiang glanced at the mottled red paint on the door, frowned slightly, and the little guy who followed behind saw that Su Xiang was not happy, and he didn't dare to say more, so he followed in.

The courtyard was full of dilapidated scenes, Su Xia heard his father's footsteps, and had already brought Mama Wang and Cuihua out to greet her, "Father, you just happened to come, the meal has just come out of the pot, and it is hot." ”

Su Xia wore a dress made of pale green satin, and the whole person looked out of place in this decaying environment. Smiling slightly, he came over to take Su Xiang's arm.

Su Xiang was dragged into the small hall by her, and a damp and moldy smell mixed with the fragrance of food came to his nose. He finally couldn't help it, turned his head to look at Mama Wang, and scolded: "Didn't Madame let people clean this place again?" Why is it still so dilapidated? ”

Mama Wang was taken aback, and the older person couldn't help but be frightened, and knelt down all of a sudden, "Uncle, you are happy and angry, Mrs. has asked someone to clean it, and these furniture and everything are new." "Mama Wang still followed the name when Su Xia's mother was still alive, and called Su Xiang her aunt.

I hadn't heard this title for a long time, and when I heard it for a while, he looked at Mama Wang fixedly, "You are Furong's nurse?" ”

Furong is Su Xiangniang's nickname, and Mama Wang nodded, "Aunt Hui, it's the old student." ”

"Oh, daddy, don't be angry, it's already very good here, my daughter didn't go out before, and she lived much worse than here, you see, there are a lot of tables, chairs and beds." Su Xia pulled Su Xiang and pressed him to the table.

The cooking skills of the girl brought by the palace are a must, a table of meat and vegetables are matched, and all kinds of dishes are neatly placed. It looks like it's all the right thing to look like. Su Xia handed a pair of chopsticks to Su Xiang, "Daddy, you can taste it." ”

Su Xiang picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a chopsticks fish, "Well, it's good, it's better than the cook in the house." ”

Su Xia smiled on her face beside her, and watched her father eat carefully, "Daddy, if you like it, when my daughter was at home, Mama Wang cooked for me to eat, she was old and dizzy, and she often couldn't tell the difference between salt and sugar, and my daughter still remembered the terrible food she ate back then." He grinned.

Mama Wang also smiled and accosted beside her, "Yes, back then, Miss ate the food cooked by the old slave every day, and she was very thin." ”

Su Xia sandwiched the vegetables for Su Xiang, and she was very happy to eat. "Eh, Mama Wang, I'm not saying you're bad. After all, you were the only one to take care of me at that time, and I was very grateful to you. If it weren't for your dark cooking, I wouldn't have lived to be fifteen years old, and I would have starved to death. ”

"Didn't your mother send a maid to take care of you back then?" Su Xiang frowned, listened to them, and interjected.

Picking up the soup spoon, Su Xia scooped a bowl of soup and brought it to Su Xiang, "Daddy, you take a sip of this Pingqiao tofu soup, it's delicious." At that time, my mother said that I was young, and it was enough to have a Mama Wang to follow, and I didn't need so many maids, so Mama Wang had always taken care of me. ”

"It's really nonsense, the sixth lady of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion is taken care of by an old and dizzy grandmother, what kind of system has it become? Why didn't you tell your father about it? Su Xiang was so angry that he slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table.
