Looking at his grandmother's expression, Xu Qinghuan said in a low voice, "What is grandmother worried about?" ”

Mrs. Xu patted Xu Qinghuan's hand: "It's none of your business, it's just that I went out this time and met the Tan family in Changzhou, and they came with me again." ”

That Tan family.

When his grandfather was injured on the battlefield, the ancestor of the Tan family desperately brought his grandfather out, the grandfather survived, but the ancestor of the Tan family died, leaving a pair of young children.

The brothers and sisters of the Tan family are also duty, and the younger sister married the local county prince, but unfortunately the husband and wife did not have a high lifespan, and they both went early, leaving no one and a half daughters.

That elder brother, that is, the eldest master of the Tan family, knows that he has no ability to be an official, doing some business to support his family, although the family business is not thick, but he is living well, and giving birth to two sons can be regarded as successors, and the eldest master Tan is not very good, and he died a few years ago, leaving only Mrs. Tan with two sons to live.

After the death of Master Tan, Mrs. Tan took care of the family very well.

A few years ago, this Mrs. Tan suddenly fell in love with a string of relatives, and walked into Beijing and lived in the Anyi Marquis Mansion.

Originally, my grandmother was very happy that the Tan family could come, but Mrs. Tan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she climbed around in the name of Anyihou Mansion, and was thrown out after being discovered by her grandmother.

thought that the two families would be cut off from now on, but they didn't expect the Tan family to follow again this year.

In her previous life, her father and brother had an accident, and the Anyi Marquis Mansion plummeted, and after Feng Xiang's case was closed, she returned to the capital, as if Mrs. Tan also came to visit, but she kowtowed in front of her grandmother, said a few words to her and left.

Mrs. Xu frowned and said: "I don't want her to follow, she insists on coming to see her every day, I walk very slowly this way, and she is really patient...... Alas...... It's a lot of work, and I don't know what to figure out. ”

After Mrs. Xu said this, she saw Xu Qinghuan laughing.

"You can still laugh out loud." Mrs. Xu shook her head.

"It's also a good thing to come to the door," Xu Qinghuan said, "My granddaughter has always felt that the biggest trouble is never in front of her, but those that we can't see when we hide behind it."

Isn't it a good thing that someone comes to the door, as long as we deal with it carefully and solve one thing, we will have less worries? ”

"You kid," Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand and scratched Xu Qinghuan's nose, "you can speak to please people." ”

Xu Qinghuan took Mrs. Xu's arm: "Grandmother, go back and rest first, if there is anything to solve slowly, I prepared osmanthus cake for grandmother." ”

"What about me?" Xu Qingyue looked at it with a pair of bright eyes.

"It's not your share."

"Then I'll snatch you and eat yours."

With the sound of the two chattering, the carriage stopped at the gate of An Yihou's mansion.

An Yihou, Xu Changting, the two ladies and Xu Qingan immediately stepped forward to greet Mrs. Xu.

"Mother has worked hard all the way."

Before everyone had time to say a few words, Mrs. Tan hurriedly came to visit.

Seeing Mrs. Tan, Mrs. An Yihou was slightly stunned, but she immediately reacted and beckoned everyone to enter the door with a smile.

Mrs. Xu walked forward, then the daughters of the Xu family, Mrs. Tan walked last, with a smile on her face, just when everyone was not paying attention, she raised her head and glanced at the words "Anyi Hou Mansion".

"Big lady, let's go in!"

The girl's voice came, Mrs. Tan turned her head, and at some point, Xu Qinghuan walked to her side.

"Okay, get in, get in." Mrs. Tan covered everything with a smile.

……

When Mrs. Xu left Beijing, she didn't expect so many things to happen at home.

Fortunately, the affairs in the Fengxiang clan were dealt with, and Qing'an obediently followed.

"How's Qing'an doing? Has there been any growth? Mrs. Xu sat down, took a sip of tea, and looked at her grandson.

An Yihou sat there with a straight posture, coughed and said, "Talk to your grandmother." ”

Xu Qingan glanced at his father, who had a straight face, and did not speak.

An Yihou's eyes were sharp: "It's a matter of talking, fists and feet...... Mounted archery ...... Study...... Let's talk about whether there is any growth. "He has been practicing with his son in the morning and evening these days, and even he feels that his body is much stronger, and now that his mother is back, he should also have a long face in front of everyone.

Such a hand-in-hand teaching should be called a "loving father".

Xu Qingan looked at his father's bright eyes, and felt that he still had to be modest: "No...... Too big a ...... Grow. ”

An Yihou's eyes suddenly pricked up.

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Xu saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately spoke, "Take your time, just come back, see that you are all smiling, I will be relieved, what else can you ask for safely." ”

Mrs. An Yihou got up and said, "The daughter-in-law will help her mother to rest for a while." ”

A few people left with filial piety.

An Yihou could only sigh alone, maybe he picked it up from outside, and he didn't understand his mind at all, it was better to be a daughter.

"Brother," Xu Changting walked over and said, "Let's go to the study!" ”

The fifth brother had something to say to him, and the two of them entered the study, and the news that Xu Changting heard from Li Xu was told to his brother as it was: "I think what Li Xu said is right, those who run smuggling boats are all ruthless, and we must guard against it." ”

Wang Yun even did such a thing.

"I really know people but don't know their hearts," Xu Changting said indignantly, "Da Zhou doesn't know how many such officials there are. ”

Speaking of these, Xu Changting said: "Brother, Lord Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has not always hated the matter of smuggling, and I want to introduce Li Xu to Lord Hong." ”

An Yihou frowned slightly, Qing Huan's words last time were in his ears, and he was wary of the Li family's father and son.

"Changting," An Yihou called his younger brother, "then how did Li Changyan save you?" ”

"It's all a coincidence," Xu Changting knew what his brother meant, "Big brother, I have been with the Li family father and son for a short time, but I always feel that they are not bad people, they have seen the hearts of the people for a long time, whether it is Li Changyan or Li Xu, it is a good thing, no matter how you think about it, it is not a treacherous person, if the brother can't believe it, you can look at them for a while, if the two really have a strange relationship, I will immediately cut off contact with them."

Li Xu's brother can know when he sees it. ”

Neither brother could persuade the other, so the topic had to be abandoned.

Xu Changting didn't understand why his brother's attitude was so firm.

……

The Xu family got together for a reunion dinner.

Sisters Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingyue accompanied Mrs. Xu to talk, and it was not until Mrs. Xu's soft snoring echoed in the room that the two quietly retreated.

Xu Qingyue wanted to stay in the Hou Mansion and talk to her sister all night, but she had just returned home, so she naturally had to stay with her mother for a few days.

"I'll come back tomorrow."

The two sisters reluctantly parted at the weeping flower gate.

Back in the house, Meng Lingyun was already waiting on the side.

"How's it going?" Xu Qinghuan asked.

Meng Lingyun said: "The people of the Yamen asked many families around the Taoist temple, and they all said that these two Taoist aunts are very well-behaved on weekdays, and there is an old woman who often lives in the Taoist temple, and she also complains about the two Taoist aunts, she takes the two good people to Shuntian Mansion every day, I heard that the two good people have seen the Taoist aunt wash the ground, that is because there are children who have soiled the clean ground, and it seems that the Taoist aunt will be released soon." ”

The two Taoist aunts had only lived in the Taoist temple for a short time, and so many people spoke for them.

Xu Qinghuan said: "Tomorrow we will go to meet the old woman." ”
