Shen Xiao looked at Luo Xiangzhi who was making a big gift with a cold face, "I don't deserve such a big gift as Young Master Luo." ”

"The little son-in-law is afraid, my father-in-law is please, I have already asked someone to invite Wan'er, my father-in-law should not have seen Xiang'er yet, Xiang'er is now eight years old, and he is a half-grown child. Xin'er is also four years old, and the little girl is naughty. Luo Xiangzhi said homely, Shen Xiao's cold face turned a lot, but he still didn't talk to Luo Xiangzhi.

Shen Xiao didn't know how to talk to Luo Xiangzhi, if he put on the posture of an elder, but he was not a serious relative, if he wanted to please Luo Xiangzhi, Shen Xiao couldn't do this kind of thing. So, I simply didn't speak. But in the end, he was still welcomed in by Luo Xiangzhi and went all the way to the front yard.

Shen Wan was already holding the hand of a little lady with pigtails and standing at the gate of the courtyard, as soon as she saw Shen Xiao approaching, Shen Wan was already in tears, and walked a few steps forward, for fear that Shen Xiao would be annoyed, she stopped in place and watched Shen Xiao cry.

Shen Xiao sighed in his heart, in this high-gate compound, there is a master mother above, how can this life be better.

Thinking like this, Shen Xiao's heart softened a lot, but he didn't know when the next meeting would be, and he would break up unhappily if he didn't have the last meeting. Shen Xiao persuaded himself like this, and there was a little smile on his face, but when he treated his little granddaughter, "Is this Xin'er?" ”

Shen Wan took her daughter's hand, "Xin'er, call your grandfather." ”

Xin'er tilted her head sideways, blinked a pair of smart big eyes, and asked innocently, "Are you Xin'er's grandfather?" Why did Xin'er never meet her grandfather? Xin'er's brother didn't meet her grandfather either. ”

Tong Yan asked Shen Xiao sadly, Shen Wan wiped a handful of tears, for fear that Xin'er would annoy Shen Xiao, "Didn't my mother tell you?" My grandfather is busy, isn't he going to see Xin'er when he's free? ”

Shen Xiao touched Xin'er's head, and then touched Xin'er's pigtail, "It's so big in a blink of an eye." ”

Shen Xiao took out a big purse from his arms, "Come, grandfather will give you something to play with." ”

"Thank you, grandfather!" Xin'er happily took it, and without waiting for her mother to refuse, she put the purse into her arms and hugged it.

"Father-in-law, let's go into the house and talk, I've already asked people to go to the academy to find Xiang'er and come back." General Luo Xiangzhi respectfully invited Shen Xiao to the house, and immediately a maid served tea.

Shen Xiao took a sip of tea and stared at Xin'er.

Xin'er got a purse from Shen Xiao, climbed onto the chair with difficulty, and poured out the contents of the purse, jingling, it was all gold and silver naked, and in such a big purse, there were more than a dozen gold and silver nudes.

"Dad, that's too much!" Shen Wan frowned and exclaimed.

Shen Xiao didn't care, and took the teacup and drank it, "These were originally for children to play with, and they were all brought by Changgui and Tuan Tuan." Shen Xiao said, and took out a larger purse, "This is for Xiang'er, wait for Xiang'er to come in a while, you can hand it over." ”

Shen Xiao said, handed the purse to Shen Wan, and fell heavily on Shen Wan's hand.

Shen Wan's tears never stopped, and finally stopped at this moment, and fell again. "Dad, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking at Luo's house, you can take these back."

Shen Xiao shook his head, "Since you have entered the Luo family, you will live a good life with Young Master Luo." These naked sons of gold and silver were deposited for your children. ”

Luo Xiangzhi didn't speak, just played with Xin'er, and didn't bother Shen Wan's father and daughter to talk, although Yu Li should have left for a while, but his feet were rooted, he wanted to know why Shen Xiao was so abnormal today, he didn't want to wait until Shen Xiao left, and then know the reason from Shen Wan's mouth.

Shen Xiao originally wanted to say a few words to Shen Wan, but looking at Shen Xiao's posture, he knew that if Luo Xiangzhi didn't know his intentions today, he probably wouldn't leave. Therefore, Shen Xiao also made a long story short. "After the year, I will go to the capital with Changzhi and them, and I will go with Changgui and them in the future, and in the future, you will take Xiang'er and Xin'er to live a good life......"

Luo Xiangzhi's heart froze, and his face was reluctant, "Father-in-law, how could it be so sudden?" ”

"Over the years, Changgui and they have been persuading me to go to the capital, but I am reluctant to leave the village, and now Changzhi and they are also leaving, and I can only worry Changgui and his brothers if I stay in the village alone." Shen Xiao paused, "I can't rest assured that I can't leave a few of your mothers, and in the future, I will bother Young Master Luo to take care of the three of them." ”

Luo Xiangzhi got up and officially responded. "Father-in-law, don't worry, Wan'er is my daughter-in-law, Xiang'er and Xin'er are my children, and it is my duty to take care of them."

"I'll go and see why Xiang'er hasn't come yet, Wan'er, you greet your father-in-law well, I'll come when I go."

Waiting for Luo Xiangzhi to leave, Shen Xiao beckoned, let Xin'er sit on his lap, and laughed and teased, "Come, call my grandfather again." ”

"Then did grandfather give Xin'er candy to eat?"

"Give! After a while, my grandfather will take you to buy candy to eat. Shen Xiao scratched Xin'er's little nose.

"Maternal grandfather, maternal grandfather, maternal grandfather......"

Shen Xiao listened with a smile, "Go play by yourself and let my mother talk to your grandfather." ”

Shen Wan wiped her face and sat beside Shen Xiao, "When Dad leaves, tell me, I'll see you off." ”

After nearly ten years of living in the inner house, Shen Wan is no longer the ambitious Shen Wan she was at the beginning, and the helplessness of the concubine has already worn her out of temper, and now when she hears that Shen Xiao is going to the capital, although her heart is astringent, she is more happy for Shen Xiao.

"Changgui and Changming are both filial, my father went to the capital in the future, and he was also happy, and together with his uncle, there were also people who spoke, so I was relieved. I have food and drink here, as well as sons and daughters, and the Luo family treats me because of Tuantuan, everyone looks up to me, Dad, you can rest assured......"

Shen Wan babbled a lot, some incoherently, but they all reported good news and not bad news.

Shen Xiao took out the money bag hanging from his waist and handed it to Shen Wan. "You keep this, go back and wait until you are free, I will take you to the recognition place."

"Where?" Shen Wan opened the purse and saw a title deed.

"This is what I have saved over the years, although it is not much, but the output in the field is enough for your daily expenses." Over the years, Shen Xiaoke has been saving money vigorously, and he has entrusted Shen Changzhi to buy land.

Shen Wan waited to see the eighty acres of land on the title deed, and choked up again. "Dad, I can't ask for these, you can keep them. If it's inconvenient to take it away, let Brother Changzhi sell it for you for money, go to the capital, there is always a place to use silver. I don't know what their daughter-in-law is like, she has a little silver in her hand, and she is always more comfortable. ”

"No, I've got some money." Shen Xiao refused, "You don't need it, just give it to Xiang'er and Xin'er, they are big, and there is always something useful." ”

Shen Wan lowered her head and wiped away a handful of tears.

"Okay, it's too late to cry now, but fortunately you have children and daughters, in the future, teach Xiang'er to bring Xin'er, and there will always be hope for the rest of your life." After all, Shen Xiao is Shen Wan's father, whether Shen Wan regrets it or not, Shen Xiao knows it in his heart.

Over the years, the life of the Shen family has become better and better, that is, the New Year's gifts sent by Shen Tuantuan from the capital every year are worth a lot of silver, and Shen Xiao saves money every time. Rao is like this, but Shen Wan has never had her mother's family again, Shen Xiao knows that Shen Wan must have suffered and regretted it. But this road is all walked by people, and even if you regret it, you can only go on hard.

Shen Wan kept nodding, "Xiang'er is sensible, and she was praised by the gentlemen in the academy at a young age." is also sensible, and knows that he feels sorry for me. Dad, I used to do it wrong, I'm sorry for you! ”

"Okay, you can live a good life, and I'm relieved to see that you can see it." Shen Xiao clicked on the title deed, "You take it, don't let the Luo family see it, I have entrusted the people of Miaojiazhai to take care of these lands, and they are all reliable people." In the future, I will instruct them to send you money directly after they have collected the grain and sold it. ”

Shen Xiao didn't worry about Luo Xiangzhi, but it was not good to say Luo Xiangzhi in front of Shen Wan. But when I thought that if Shen Wan's ears were soft, if this land deed was coaxed away by Luo Xiangzhi, the three of them would probably have a difficult life. "How is Luo Xiangzhi, it's inconvenient for me to comment. It's just that this title deed can't be coaxed away by others. ”

Shen Wan smiled, "Dad, I'm not a teenage girl anymore." Luo Xiangzhi is not only a woman for me, nor is there more than a son for Xiang'er, how can I give what belongs to Xiang'er to Luo Xiangzhi, is it difficult for him to share it with other sons? Dad, I've seen it through. ”

Shen Xiao was relieved, "I knew today, why bother in the first place." ”

Shen Wan's face turned pale, "Dad, in front of Xin'er, why do you bother to say this." ”

Shen Xiao sighed heavily, and after a while, Luo Xiangzhi led Xiang'er in. Luo Xiangzhi personally greeted Xiang'er and called people, "Xiang'er, this is your grandfather, don't you often ask your grandfather?" Hurry up. ”

Although Luo Jiaxiang is only eight years old, as a concubine, he is more mature than other children. Hiding doubts in his heart, he also respectfully bowed to Shen Xiao, and then said, "Grandfather." ”

Shen Xiao hurriedly helped the person up, "Don't be like this, it's already so big, it's almost the size of your mother......"

Shen Wan took out Shen Xiao's purse, "Xiang'er, this is given to you by your grandfather." ”

Luo Jiaxiang took the purse, but was surprised by the heavy purse, and pretended to look at Shen Xiao, the newly recognized grandfather. On the way Luo Jiaxiang was picked up by his father's scholar, he was worried along the way, thinking that something had happened to her mother or sister, and he couldn't wait for the carriage to enter Luo's mansion immediately.

When he arrived at the door, he didn't expect his father to come to greet him in person, and told him that he must be respectful when he sees his grandfather for a while, remember to please his grandfather more, and finally, don't forget to kowtow and make a big salute.

Luo Jiaxiang snorted coldly in his heart, when he saw his grandfather, he was not always respectful, and he didn't stop knocking every year! Which Cheng thought, when he arrived in the front yard, he saw a strange man, with some similarities with her mother between his eyebrows and eyes, Luo Jiaxiang knew in his heart, this should be his maternal grandfather, right? It's her mother's family, right?

When Shen Xiao personally helped him up and gave him a heavy money bag, Luo Jiaxiang's heart became more and more sure that this must be his relatives.
