Chapter 818: Sentimental
Brother Hui was suddenly depressed, so he didn't even hear the loopholes in his great-grandfather's words.
He just said about them, not us!
In other words, Old Man Tao didn't count himself.
It's not because we say that it will make Brother Hui more uncomfortable, but because he really has an inseparable relationship with this child.
This child is pitiful, this child is benevolent and righteous, and he is really close to him, an old man who has no blood relationship at all.
Old man Tao could clearly feel that the relationship between this child and himself was actually more intimate than that of his maternal grandfather.
At first, Old Man Tao also thought that this was his own delusion, but because of such thoughts, he paid special attention, and the result was that it was really like that.
Brother Hui has a lot of respect for his grandfather and uncles, but he lacks the kind of affection that juniors have for their elders.
This is not because his identity is the emperor, you see that after he goes down to the court, he returns to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and he will be coquettish with the girl and his wife and himself.
After confirming this, the old man Tao felt very uncomfortable when he thought that one day in the future, he and the girl and his wife would leave the palace together, leaving the child alone in the palace.
Recently, watching his granddaughter and son-in-law mixing oil in honey, the old man couldn't help but think, in fact, it is not impossible for him to stay by Brother Hui's side in the future.
You don't have to live with those two people, stay with them, sometimes you feel like you're an eyesore.
The girl has a reliable grandson-in-law by her side, and Brother Hui is around, should there be someone who makes him trust and trust!
Old man Tao thought so, and it was the same just now, but he didn't clearly tell Brother Hui, don't worry, I won't leave the old man in the future, stay by your side, and we will depend on each other for our lives.
Because, he knew that this could not be said easily.
This is tantamount to a promise to this child, and when it is said, it must be done.
Old Man Tao can be sure that he is not a person who loses his trust in others, but he is not sure that when Brother Hui grows up, he still needs himself like this.
As he grows older, even if Brother Hui's character will not change, other things related to Brother Hui will definitely change.
Brother Hui will also be like that girl, when he meets the person who is really happy, in that case, it may be superfluous for him to stay.
"Great-grandfather, don't worry about me, I'm fine." Brother Hui looked up, saw the gloom on his great-grandfather's face, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile to comfort him.
Tao Qingyuan came back to his senses, and looked at him who was obviously sad, but he still forced a smile to relieve his heart, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
How could such a sensible child not have everything at the same time that he didn't want to lose?
"Shall you have something?" Tao Qingyuan suddenly took out a small box from the brocade bag.
"What?" Brother Hui was puzzled.
Tao Qingyuan opened the lid of the small box, and Brother Hui immediately smiled.
In a small sealed box, it contains spicy strips!
This was made by my mother before leaving, an old man and a young man, and I went to the kitchen to grab a plate to eat, but I didn't expect my great-grandfather to cut it short and put it in a box and carry it with him!
This means that the box is well sealed, otherwise, Brother Hui feels that with his sense of smell, he would have smelled it a long time ago.
"Great-grandfather, it's not right for you to do this, this is a snack that my mother made for us before leaving. I don't know how long it will take for them to come back, so we have to save money. If you eat it like this, it will break. Brother Hui remembered that there was only one-third of the spicy strips left in the jar.
"Okay, then don't eat it." Old man Tao made a gesture to take the box back, but was quickly dragged by Brother Hui on the other side of the box.
"Don't mind, I brought it all, of course I have a share, otherwise, when my mother comes back, I will tell her, great-grandfather, you will bring it to the court temporarily." Brother Hui threatened on his lips; The other hand reached into the box and grabbed a handful.
Old man Tao looked at this child in a dragon robe, and he grabbed it directly with his hands so disregardful of his image, he really didn't know what to say.
However, in this way, the mood of the two has changed.
Just because the two of them want to relax, so in this imperial study, there are just the two of them.
One old and one young, ate spicy strips with relish, and after a while, the small box was empty.
"This box is a little smaller." Brother Hui puffed his fingers full of spicy strips, and gave an opinion with a little regret.
Old man Tao squinted at him; "You don't want to be a big one, but it's inconvenient to carry a big one."
The wooden box was made by the master of the Wood Division, and he repeatedly told him that the sealing must be guaranteed.
Pity the few masters of the Namu Division, they thought that the old man was going to use it to carry some important objects, they did it very carefully, made several together, and finally picked the one they felt was the most flawless.
They didn't know that the old man wanted this box to facilitate the purpose of bringing snacks.
Old man Tao felt that it was not easy for him, and he didn't bring snacks to satisfy his hunger alone, for the sake of Brother Hui's safety, this box couldn't be left from his body, hey, for the sake of food, he was old, was he easy!
Don't look at the palace has been very peaceful recently, and things that are not peaceful seem to have turned around and gone towards the girl, but Old Man Tao still didn't dare to be careless.
That girl dared to say that she would leave the capital if she had ever been in the capital, and the main reason was not because Brother Hui was taking care of him, so she was relieved.
The old and the young ate snacks and hurriedly rinsed their mouths and washed their hands.
While washing, while summarizing, after retreating in the evening, the two continued to fight birds.
If you can't get out of the capital, you have to have some fun by yourself, otherwise, life will be sad!
"Great-grandfather, aren't you worried about my mother?" Brother Hui, who was wiping his hands with a cotton towel, remembered and asked.
Old man Tao put the cotton towel he used on the wooden frame, took out a small porcelain joint, opened the lid and handed it to Brother Hui, who picked out some of the grease inside with his fingers and applied it to the back of his hand.
The old and the young are doing the same action, and the grease is made by Mu Yingbao, saying that it cares for the skin.
Old man Tao refused to use it at first, saying that the old man used this thing, which made people laugh like a woman.
However, when the family sat down to eat together, they looked at their hands holding chopsticks and picking vegetables, and their skin was very smooth, like their own hands like the bark of a tree that had been many years old.
Then, he also began to use it secretly, and later he simply used it openly.
Listening to Brother Hui's question, Tao Qingyuan smiled and did not respond.
Brother Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head, yes, I'm worried about Shenma! The ones to worry about are also those who don't know whether to live or die and send them to the door to find abuse.
Seeing that the hour was almost up, the old and the young came out of the imperial study and walked towards the council hall.
Outside the council hall, the ministers who had lunch were already waiting, originally discussing the matter of the grandfather and his wife leaving the capital, but when they saw the emperor coming, they immediately shut up one by one......
