Chapter Twenty-Six: Mother's Mother's Family

"Father, let's not talk about this yet, my daughter wants to celebrate the New Year with you!" Xiao Yu'er's slightly coquettish tone coaxed Xiao Fushan to laugh, when the father saw his daughter coquettish in front of him like a child, his heart probably melted!

"Yu'er, this is probably the last year to celebrate the New Year with my father, and I am going to get married!" Xiao Fushan was happy for his daughter, but his tone was also full of reluctance...

"Daddy, don't be afraid! In the future, even if Yu'er gets married, she will keep the New Year with her father every year, bring Li Qingye and Haohao, and in a few years there will be her father's grandson or granddaughter! Xiao Fushan heard his grandson and granddaughter laugh again, but still blamed Xiao Yu'er: "How can this be, if you get married, you have to be a husband!"

"Daddy, Yu'er is serious, Li Qingye will definitely listen to me, otherwise... Otherwise, I will run back to accompany my father to celebrate the New Year, hehe..."Xiao Yu'er is indeed serious, and she also knows that Li Qingye will definitely agree!"

The two father and daughter chatted and chatted soon to the son, the streets and alleys were full of firecrackers, lively, this is Xiao Yuer's happiest Chinese New Year's Eve, when the firecrackers stopped, Xiao Yuer once again greeted his father: "Daddy, happy new year, daughter wishes you a healthy year, long happiness and long life!"

"Okay, well, daddy still has to watch Yu'er's children and grandchildren full of halls!" Xiao Fushan really felt that his daughter had grown up, so he doted on his daughter's head and gave his daughter New Year's money, so he asked Xiao Yu'er to rest early, and woke up to take her to pay New Year's greetings...

Xiao Yuer wondered, did their family have relatives in the capital? Going for New Year's greetings?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, although yesterday was the New Year's holiday, Xiao Yuer still got up early, and went to have breakfast with his father as soon as he finished washing.

For Lin Xunchu, Xiao Yuer felt that she really didn't want to say anything to him, so she could only let him go slowly...

After breakfast, Xiao Fushan asked his sister to take his son down, saying that he had something to say to his daughter: "Yu'er, what Daddy wants to tell you today is your mother's mother's family!"

Xiao Yu'er asked curiously: "Is it a relative who is going to visit the New Year today?" But isn't my mother's maiden home in the border gate? ”

"Yu'er, your mother is the eldest daughter of Li Guogong, Li Guogong is your grandfather, but Li Guogong has been guarding the border pass, more than ten years ago, he asked the family to move to Lincheng, and the first emperor broke the precedent to grant Li Guogong's request, and your grandfather has never lived up to the expectations of the first emperor, and has been conscientiously guarding the border pass, which can be said to have paid for his life!" Xiao Fushan talked about these old events, Xiao Yuer was actually a little distressed and wanted to evoke her father's memories of her mother: "Your mother has suffered from heart disease since she was a child, and she went out to seek medical treatment in Youcheng seventeen years ago, and met me in Youcheng..."

Xiao Yu'er didn't hear it right: "Since my mother is Li Guogong's concubine, why did she go out to seek medical treatment by herself?"

"I didn't know why. Later, I learned that your grandmother died early, and your uncle heard that there was a famous doctor in Youcheng, so he wanted to find a doctor for your mother, but the current Duchess Li Guo did not allow it, so she reprimanded your mother fiercely, and asked your mother to find a doctor by herself, don't drag your uncle down, listen to your mother say that such a reprimand is equivalent to driving your mother out of the Guogong Mansion! Xiao Fushan said that the corners of his eyes were already moistened, and Xiao Yu'er couldn't stop her tears.

"When I first met your mother, your mother only told me that she was still an orphan girl, my father went to the battlefield and did not return, and my mother died early, and then I had feelings for your mother, so she made her own marriage and married me, more than a year later, it coincided with the war and conscription, and I had to go in the conscription list, but your mother suffered from heart disease, and I really couldn't rest assured..." What I don't know is that at that time, your mother was already pregnant, and the doctor explained that Yao'er could not get pregnant, and if she was pregnant, she would hurt her body, and it would take five years for a long time, or three years for a short time... And Yao'er gave birth to you without telling me...".

"My mother gave birth to me..."Xiao Yu'er choked up

"Silly Yu'er, my mother gave birth to you because she loved you, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame your father!" Xiao Fushan comforted his daughter but was full of self-blame: "After your mother followed your uncle back to the Guogong Mansion, she gave birth to you under the protection of your uncle, until you were two years old, your uncle was also called to the barracks, and Mrs. Li Guo drove your mother away, and your mother took you back to Youcheng, half a year later, the war finally ended, I returned to Youcheng and took your mother and daughter back to the capital, but your mother's health is not as good as day by day, and you went when you were six years old..."

"Daddy..."Xiao Yu'er didn't know how to comfort her father: "Yu'er doesn't cry, my mother in the spirit of heaven definitely wants Yu'er to be happy, I don't want to see Yu'er cry, Daddy is the same, don't be too sad..."

"Then Daddy, are we going to pay New Year's greetings to my grandfather and uncle today?" Xiao Yuer doesn't recognize Duchess Li Guo...

"Uh-huh, go meet your grandfather and uncle!" Xiao Fushan sighed and prepared to go out to the Guogong Mansion to pay New Year's greetings...

Xiao Fushan's father and daughter came to the Guogong Mansion and saw Li Qingye, but it was Xiao Yuer's uncle Li Jin and Mrs. Li who were entertaining, and Li Guogong did enter the palace to meet the saint...

As soon as Xiao Yu'er saw Li Jin, she also guessed his identity, so she respectfully saluted and greeted: "Yu'er has seen uncle, aunt, and Lord Li!"

Li Jin got up excitedly and took Xiao Yu'er up: "Hurry up, come over and let my uncle take a look, it's carved out of the same mold as your mother, it's good, your grandfather will definitely be happy to see it!" Li Jin was excited, and even asked his subordinates to call his children to see Xiao Yu'er, and it didn't take long for Li Guogong to come back from the palace...

A group of people got up and saluted, but when Li Guogong walked to Li Qingye's side, he asked, "Are you Qingye?" Grow up, hehe..."He patted Li Qingye's shoulder, and Li Qingye had a bad premonition...

After Li Guogong took his seat, Xiao Yu'er was even called out by Xiao Fushan to give Li Guogong a salute: "Yu'er has seen my grandfather, I have paid New Year's greetings to my grandfather, I wish my grandfather a healthy New Year, and a long life!"

"Good, good! Get up! It's Yao'er's appearance, good! Li Guogong said that his eyes were red, he had been on the expedition for four years, and when he came back, he disappeared his daughter, and then he was separated forever...

"Yu'er, my grandfather went to the palace today for your marriage, do you know that you and your cousin have had a marriage contract since childhood, hahaha!" Li Guogong said with a smile, Xiao Yu'er was speechless when she heard it, she tried hard to analyze the possibility of this, Li Qingye was even more full of aura, and it seemed that the temperature had dropped several degrees at once...

"Grandpa, you're really joking, my mother almost made me marry my cousin when I was young, how could I be married to my cousin of the Li family since I was a child? Moreover, the emperor has already given me marriage, and I have been given the concubine of King Li, and the civil and military officials who attended the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve are all listening! Grandpa, don't tarnish Yu'er's reputation! "Xiao Yu'er is unceremonious, this old guy is going to ruin his marriage as soon as he comes, Xiao Yu'er really can't like it!

Li Guogong didn't expect Xiao Yu'er to say this, that stubborn look is very similar to when his daughter was young, Li Guogong looked at it and laughed a few times, this time when he returned to Beijing, he knew that his granddaughter and Lu would come back in front of her and Lu non-stop, hoping to keep this granddaughter by his side...

But Li Guogong ignored Xiao Yu'er, and turned to Li Qingye and said: "Qingye, the old man has already told the emperor when he just entered the palace, and he asks the emperor to take back the marriage, what do you think?"

"Grandpa Guo, the emperor said in the main hall yesterday that you have no jokes!" Li Qingye believes that Shangguan Xi will not agree to Li Guogong's request...

"Oh, in this case, then only the emperor can decide this matter!" Li Guogong seemed to be very confident: "Early in the night, the old man is already old, and now he asks to return to Beijing to recuperate, the border pass of Lincheng is empty, and the old man only left a few deputy generals, I am afraid that it is not a long-term solution, the old man wants to play to the emperor and let you go to Lincheng, are you willing to guard the border pass for Yunli Country?"

"The country of Yunli is full of talents, guarding the border is a major matter of the country, if the country needs it, I should also go to the soup," Xiao Yuer didn't know why Li Qingye became so introverted, and changed his previous temperament...

Li Qingye has his own plans in his heart, it is possible for him to go to the border pass, but not now, now on the side of the court, Shangguan Xi is not in the court and the opposition, if Li Qingye leaves, it is estimated that it will not be possible, but the border pass is also a big deal, except for Li Qingye himself, the best candidate who can go Li Qingye thinks of only Xiao Yu'er's father, General Xiao Fushan, and there are few other people... This also put Li Qingye in a dilemma, as well as his Yu'er...

Xiao Yu'er doesn't particularly know about any national affairs, but she also listens to it with a belly full of anger, in her ears, this old man just wants to separate her from Li Qingye, and what Xiao Yu'er doesn't know is that Li Guogong wants Li Qingye to go to the border pass to guard the border pass before he wants her to separate from Li Qingye, not to let Li Qingye go to the border pass to guard the border pass in order to let them separate...,

"Grandpa, Yu'er doesn't understand what you are talking about about family and country affairs, but Yu'er will never marry her cousin, begging grandpa to let Yu'er go!" Xiao Yu'er said this very seriously, even the emperor had to give three points of courtesy, how could anyone dare to speak to him like this, angrily slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Yu'er, this is what you have to educate?"

"Yu'er is rude, Yu'er is just talking straight to her grandfather!" Xiao Yuer does not have a good impression of Li Guogong, and it can be said that he has a grudge, although Li Guogong is loyal to the country and dies with all his might, which is indeed admirable, but in Xiao Yuer's eyes, he can't even protect his wife and daughter...

"Does my grandfather know why my mother-in-law didn't let me marry my first cousin? Just because my mother wants me to choose my own happiness, although my mother has passed away, but the teachings are difficult to disobey, please don't embarrass Yu'er! Xiao Yu'er doesn't like to drag mud and water, she just wants to solve this trouble, Li Qingye's eyes always stay on Xiao Yu'er, he doesn't care what Xiao Yu'er wants to do, anyway, he only cares about it, and he only wants to let her do what she wants!

"It's ridiculous, since ancient times, marriage has been the life of the parents, how can you choose for yourself? Besides, your mother, if she hadn't married your father and gave birth to you, how could she be..."Li Guogong inevitably choked up when he talked about his daughter...

Although Li Guogong is his mother's father and his own grandfather, Xiao Yuer does not allow him to slander his father and mother like this: "Grandpa's words are wrong! If my mother hadn't met my father, I was afraid that he was seriously ill seventeen years ago but was kicked out of the country's mansion, and he died on the way out to seek medical treatment alone, it was my father who saved my mother on the way, and it was my mother who secretly gave birth to me behind my father's back, and he didn't know about this until my father saw me when I was three years old, and my grandfather shouldn't blame my father, and if he wants to blame, he will blame me! ”

Li Guogong was speechless when he heard Xiao Yu'er say it, he never knew these things, no one had ever said it, or the version he heard was very different from this...

After Xiao Yu'er finished speaking, she walked in front of Li Jin and knelt down: "Uncle, thank you for saving your mother and saving Yu'er back then, if it weren't for you, Yu'er probably wouldn't be able to come to this world, thank you for your kindness, but please forgive your uncle for not being able to marry her cousin, if not, Yu'er can only repay it in the next life!"

"Yu'er!" "Hugh is going to talk nonsense!" Xiao Fushan and Li Qingye spoke at the same time...

At this time, Li Jin's children also happened to come over, and Li Junyu saluted when she saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she opened her mouth to make the old man happy: "Grandpa, I heard that my uncle and cousin are here, so Yu'er and my brother came to see them, so that the family doesn't recognize the family!"

At the same time that Xiao Fushan and Li Qingye spoke, Li Jin also helped Xiao Yu'er up, Xiao Yu'er was stupid when she got up and saw someone coming, Xiao Yu'er looked at Li Qingyuan's whole body stiff, and her head didn't seem to be able to turn who he was?

Xiao Yu'er almost couldn't stand, Xiao Fushan held his daughter on the side: "Father-in-law, brother, yesterday Concubine Shu left Yu'er in the palace for dinner, Yu'er only returned to the general's mansion yesterday evening, Yu'er may have been cold on the road and felt unwell, Xiao Xu took Yu'er back first!" "How did Li Qingye see that his little woman looked at other men and couldn't take her eyes off it, she was already angry, but she also found that something was wrong with Xiao Yu'er...

Xiao Fushan took Xiao Yu'er back to the General's Mansion, Li Qingye also left the Guogong Mansion, as soon as Xiao Yu'er returned to the General's Mansion, Xiao Fushan asked people to invite a doctor, but on the first day of the Lunar New Year, where was there a doctor to invite, but after a while, someone came to report, Li Wangye took the doctor of Li Wang's Mansion to ask to see, Xiao Fushan heard that Li Qingye brought the doctor over, so he didn't think much about inviting people in...

It was an old acquaintance who helped Xiao Yu'er see a doctor: "Doctor He, I'm fine, but I may have had a cold yesterday." "Doctor He didn't diagnose the cold, but he also listened to Xiao Yu'er's words, and went out to tell Xiao Fushan that he was suffering from the cold...

Li Qingye and Xiao Fushan were in the front hall at this time, the two of them often met in the military camp, and it was not very embarrassing to sit together now, but this was also the first time Li Qingye saw his future father-in-law, but after today's Guogong Mansion made a fuss, everything became uncertain, Li Qingye hurried over, and he didn't bring everything that was originally prepared yesterday to come over today...

Fortunately, Li Wangfu is also not ordinary, as soon as Dr. He came out of the clinic, Hao Hao and the housekeeper arrived with things: "Grandpa Xiao, Happy New Year, Hao'er has given you a New Year's greeting!" ”

Xiao Fushan looked at Hao Hao's cute appearance, and laughed when he thought of what his daughter said yesterday: "Okay, come, Grandpa Xiao will give you New Year's money, I wish you to grow up quickly!" ”

"Grandpa Xiao, yesterday my father prepared these gifts and said that he would bring Hao'er to meet Grandpa Xiao today, but as soon as he returned home, he hurried over, only brought Doctor He, and forgot about the things and Hao'er!" Hao Hao explained to his father, Xiao Fushan didn't care about these false courtesies, Hao Hao didn't say that he didn't pay attention to it, but he also knew that Li Qingye was worried about his daughter...

Xiao Yu'er came back to her senses soon after returning to the General's Mansion, Li Qingyuan probably looks exactly like her fiancé in her previous life, it shouldn't be him, if it is really him, it is impossible for him to marry his cousin, but looking back, if there is really an afterlife, it really responds to his own sentence just now: Save your life, and repay it in the next life!

Xiao Yu'er knew that Li Qingye was outside and knew that Hao Hao was also coming, so she got up and combed it out to meet the guests, Xiao Fushan was a little worried when she saw her daughter coming out: "Isn't it cold?" Why did you come out and not have a good rest? ”

"Daddy, I'm fine, and I didn't suffer from the cold, it was just an expedient measure, I don't want to stay in the Guogong Mansion anymore, I don't like it there!" Xiao Yuer didn't know how to explain her abnormality, so she said that she was pretending to be sick...

"Hao Hao, you're here, you're very handsome in new clothes!!" Xiao Yu'er pinched Haohao's little face...

"Sister Yu, are you sick? As soon as my father returned to the palace, he hurriedly brought Doctor He here. Hao Hao really thought that Xiao Yu'er was sick, but he didn't expect to see her in front of her...

"Hao Hao don't worry, Sister Yu is fine, it's your father who thinks Sister Yu is sick, and Sister Yu is not sick." Xiao Yu'er explained, but Li Qingye didn't believe that Xiao Yu'er was an expedient measure just now...

"Daddy, I'm hungry, let's have lunch!" Xiao Fushan and Li Qingye suddenly didn't know how to react, especially when Xiao Fushan's family Li Wangye was still sitting here, and his daughter actually said that she was hungry and wanted lunch: "Why don't you stay and eat together?" ”

"General Xiao, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate in the early night." Xiao Yu'er was a little surprised, Li Qingye actually called herself by her own name, and sighed, but fortunately, this piece of wood has the consciousness of being her father and son-in-law...

"Xiao Rong, you let the kitchen add another osmanthus fish, Hao Hao loves fish!" Xiao Yuer remembered that yesterday in the Queen Mother's Palace, it seemed that these two fathers and sons loved to eat fish...

Li Qingye and Xiao Fushan have a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and Li Qingye's indifferent personality can only occasionally chat with Xiao Fushan about the military camp in the army, but at the dinner table, Li Qingye actually poured wine for Xiao Fushan, Xiao Fushan couldn't help but feel a little comforted, Xiao Yu'er also smiled: "Li Qingye, did you know Li Guogong before or do you know that he is my grandfather?" I see that you don't even use this king to claim to be a king! ”
