Liu Liyue was very dissatisfied with the fact that he wanted to eat a full cup of soup, but because he had more important things to do, he could only reluctantly pour the greasy soup into his stomach.

The so-called exchange of courtesies, how could Liu Liyue lose the number of courtesies and let Mrs. Shi sit dryly. While he was eating the soup, he whispered to Mo Xiaoxiao, who was waiting beside him: "Silly girl, what are you doing staring at me stupidly?" Don't go and make a cup of cold warming tea for the old lady. ”

Mo Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed and flustered, bowed to Mrs. Shi and exited the room.

The cold wind howled outside, the inside of the house was blazing with charcoal, the windows were closed, and the curtain at the door was also set to block the cold. Even so, the cold still tried every possible way to drill into the house, and Mrs. Shi couldn't help but shiver, this year's winter was too cold, and even the water in the water tank froze.

The old woman next to Mrs. Shi was very good at distinguishing words and colors, and when she saw this, she whispered to the maid next to her: "Xia He, go add some charcoal." ”

Xia He didn't say a word, walked to the charcoal stove, added some new charcoal to the charcoal stove, picked up the pu fan next to it, and manually accelerated the charcoal fire to burn.

The old woman leaned over slightly and whispered to Mrs. Shi: "Old lady, why don't you go back and get a cloak for you?" ”

Mrs. Shi's face did not change, and she whispered to the old woman: "That's not necessary! He looked at Liu Liyue intently.

The old woman was heartfelt, still worried about the old lady's body, and continued: "Old lady, Yue Gongzi is close to the lotus pond here, and the cold is pressing, no better than Jing'an Pavilion, you should sit for a while." ”

Mrs. Shi was a little displeased, and was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Mo Xiaoxiao, who came in with hot tea.

"Old lady, this is the honey ginger jujube tea specially prepared for you by the child." Mo Xiaoxiao held the tray and respectfully put the tea on the desk next to Mrs. Shi before retreating to Liu Liyue's side.

Mrs. Shi looked at the tea on the table, glanced at the old woman next to her with slanted eyes, and smiled proudly. She held the tea in her hand, and while fiddling with the ginger jujube slices floating on the teacup with the tea lid, she smiled and said, "Jiang Yue! Looks like someone knows me better than you do! ”

The old woman Jiang Yue hurriedly responded: "That is, the old lady and the little son are kind and filial, this family affection that blood is thicker than water is not comparable to the old slave." ”

Mrs. Shi took a sip of the hot tea, her expression was extremely enjoyable, and she nodded in affirmation of the sweet taste echoing in her mouth.

Liu Liyue said: "Grandmother, does it taste good?" ”

Mrs. Shi smiled and said, "Sweet, sweet to my grandmother's heart." ”

"If my grandmother likes it, it's fine."

"Tea is indeed good tea, and Yue'er must have taken a lot of painstaking work. It's just that, Yue'er, why did you ask Xiaoxiao to do these things that inferior maids do? She is your benefactor, and she has been wronged by serving you, why do you still treat her like this? ”

When Liu Liyue heard this, he looked coldly at Mo Xiaoxiao next to him.

Mo Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained to Mrs. Shi: "No, no, no, old lady, this-this is not to blame the son, it is all the slaves and maids who are willing." The slave is clumsy, the son does not dislike the slave and the maid is already the honor of the slave and the maid, the old lady must not blame the son for the slave and the maid, and hurt the relationship between you and the grandson of the son. ”

Liu Liyue lowered his head and drank the soup, and when he heard Mo Xiaoxiao's words, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a little smugness.

"Xiaoxiao! Don't say good things for him, and don't call yourself a slave slave, you are Yue'er's benefactor, and the treatment should be the same as Yue'er, otherwise let outsiders know, and say that our historian is ruthless and righteous, and kindness will be revenged. ”

When Mo Xiaoxiao heard this, she was so anxious that she knelt on the ground with a thud, and said excitedly: "For so many years, the old lady and the son have treated Xiaoxiao like a relative, Xiaoxiao is grateful, if it is really because Xiaoxiao has humiliated the Shi family, Xiaoxiao will be punished for his guilt." ”

Liu Liyue was stunned, staring at Mo Xiaoxiao with surprised eyes, or unexpectedly, Mo Xiaoxiao, who is usually stupid and clumsy, could say such a thing.

Mrs. Shi was a little at a loss by Mo Xiaoxiao's sudden move. She hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand and walked in front of Mo Xiaoxiao with Jiang Yue's support, "Xiaoxiao, it's cold on the ground, hurry up, you kid, you are always so gentle and polite." ”

She personally helped Mo Xiaoxiao, who was kneeling on the ground, up, which was a great honor for Mo Xiaoxiao, Mo Xiaoxiao was flattered, and looked at Mrs. Shi with teary eyes, "Old lady? ”

Mrs. Shi stroked Mo Xiaoxiao's slender fingers, stared at her beautiful face, and looked at her carefully, her eyes were full of affirmation of Mo Xiaoxiao.

Although Mo Xiaoxiao is not a country and a city, it can be regarded as a small jasper. Willow eyebrows, cut apricot eyes, straight nose like a peak, cherry small mouth, slightly upturned corners of the mouth, when quiet, it is also like smiling, and the skin is like clotted fat.

Mrs. Shi looked at it, nodded again and again: "Well, yes, Chu Chu is lovely, gentle and polite, no worse than those girls from the official family, Yue'er can marry you is his blessing." ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

Mo Xiaoxiao and Liu Liyue spoke up almost at the same time, and both of them looked at Mrs. Shi in surprise.

Liu Liyue even almost knocked over the soup bowl in his hand, and stood up from the soft couch, his eyes wide open, and his lips slightly open.

After Mo Xiaoxiao was surprised for a moment, she hurriedly lowered her head, her heartbeat accelerated sharply, her cheeks were crimson, and she didn't dare to look directly at Mrs. Shi's smiling eyes.

The room suddenly became silent, so quiet that it seemed that only the sound of the cold wind could be heard, except for Mrs. Shi, everyone was stunned.

"Grandmother, have you eaten?"

"Nonsense, did you talk to your grandmother like that?"

"Then why do you say that it is my blessing for me to marry Xiaoxiao? When did I say I was going to marry her? ”

"Marriage events, have always followed the orders of parents, the words of the matchmaker, the three books and six ceremonies, how can you say to marry or not? When your parents are away, your grandmother can do it for you. ”

"My grandson is still young, and his fame has not yet been achieved, so he is not in a hurry to get married." Liu Liyue held back the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said respectfully, and didn't forget to add in a whisper, "Even if you want to marry, you have to marry the gentle and lovely Guan Sheng, so that you are not this stupid goose." ”

As he spoke, he cast a stern look at Mo Xiaoxiao, glared at Mo Xiaoxiao coldly, Mo Xiaoxiao's body trembled involuntarily, and quickly avoided his gaze, "Old lady, I ......"

Before she could say what she wanted to say, a gesture from Old Lady Shi made her words stop abruptly.

Mrs. Shi said, "What fame?" Your achievements in studying medicine are famous, and you will have less contact with those gentlemen in the future, you are not the same kind of person as them, and your grandmother only hopes that you will marry a wife and have children, and spend the rest of your life in peace. ”

Liu Liyue reluctantly sat back on the soft couch, continued to eat the remaining small half bowl of soup, and said softly: "Oh......"
