Chapter Seventy-One: Grandmother

In the yard, Yan Xiuyu's face was full of broken oranges, and he also had orange water in his eyes, although it was orange water from tangerines, but when it entered his eyes, it was still astringent.

Le Xuan looked helpless, pulled him to his side, and said, "Don't move, I'll take you to wash your eyes with hot water." ”

Yan Qingge followed behind them and saw things clearly. Before Yan Xiuyu went out, he snatched a few oranges from the plate, and wanted to repeat the old trick, but Le Xuan saw through it, and it was self-defeating, and the orange water sprayed all over his own head and face, which was really asking for trouble.

Le Xuan's servant quickly fetched a basin of hot water, cleaned Yan Xiuyu, and led him back to the house to change his clothes.

After a while, Le Xuan and Yan Xiuyu, who had finished tidying up, returned to the study.

Le Xuan came back early, and as soon as he entered the door, he commanded his subordinates to move things, and Yan Xiuyu came in and asked in surprise: "Brother Xuan, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'll set aside a room for you to play in." Le Xuan looked at them helplessly. He has to read and write every day, and the schedule is full, so it's okay to spend time with the two little ones, but Yan Xiuyu is so noisy that he doesn't have the energy to spend the whole day on this.

In Beijing, Yan Xiuyu is a little devil that everyone is afraid of, and others dare not speak out because he is the little prince of Yan. But Le Xuan was not afraid of him.

In the afternoon of the same day, Le Xuan asked someone to vacate a small room in the study, which was very comfortably furnished, with many objects for play, and separated from the place where he was reading by a heavy curtain. Here, Yan Xiuyu and Yan Qingge were laughing constantly, and over there, Le Xuan was restless and quietly doing his studies.

At dinner in the evening, when everyone sat down just now, Le Yi looked at Le Xuan and said, "Le Xuan, why did you separate Xiu Yu and Qing Ge on the other side with a curtain today?" ”

Le Xuan bowed his head and said, "Father, Lord Yan and his cousin are playing over there, I can watch them while reading here, and I won't delay." ”

Le Yi knew his son's temper, he was like an old pedant who didn't know how to be flexible for eight lifetimes, and he didn't know who he followed, he had beaten and scolded, and it was useless, so he had to say helplessly: "You give me a little leisure." The day after tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and no one reads books and learns words every day. ”

Le Xuan disagreed, and replied respectfully: "The industry is good at diligence and ridiculous, and my son would rather not eat for three days than not study for a day." ”

Xun Shi saw that Le Yi's face had changed, and when he saw that he was about to get angry, he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, Yi'er, you also know that the New Year is approaching, why bother with Brother Xuan." Isn't it good that he loves to read? In a few years, Brother Xuan will also take the top exam and come back, let's be a father and son champion, wouldn't it be very glorious. ”

Le Hou has never liked to take care of these idle things at home, but when people are older, between their sons and grandsons, they naturally love their little grandsons more, and Le Xuan is so hardworking, it hurts him even more, so he gave his freshly baked champion son a look on his face, and said: "Eat without saying a word, you can eat when you eat, how can there be a reason to train a child at the dinner table." He scolded Le Yi, but he didn't expect that he was also training at the dinner table.

Seeing that Le Yi was deflated, Yan Xiuyu was also a little afraid, the matter of oranges in the morning, he was originally looking for fault, and he didn't dare to say a word, bowed his head and tried his best to pick up rice.

Of course, Lejia's diet is not as fine as that of Yan Wangfu, but Yan Xiuyu is not picky, and the food he eats is no less than that of adults.

Yan Qingge, who was sitting next to her, also ate half a bowl of rice before stopping the chopsticks.

Even so, Yan Xiuyu was still not satisfied, and stretched out his sleeves to scoop a spoonful of steamed eggs with shellfish and meat for Yan Qingge. With rice grains in his mouth, he said seriously: "Sister Qingge, you eat more, you are too thin." ”

Then, he met the eyes of a table of people and sandwiched a large piece of fat into the Le Xuan bowl: "Brother Xuan also eats more, reading is the most brain-draining." ”

Then, he gave Le Hou, Le Yi, Xun's, and Gu's vegetables one by one, and said flattering auspicious words in his mouth, which made the adults in the family laugh and eat the dishes he sandwiched, only Le Xuan looked at the big piece of fat in the bowl, and secretly questioned whether Yan Xiuyu was intentional, why did it give others steamed eggs, shrimp, and cabbage, which were good things, and this kind of thing in his bowl?

After eating, Xun beckoned to Yan Qingge and said with a smile: "Good boy, you come to talk to me." Your aunt is going to pack up her things to go to the capital, and my wife is very bored alone. ”

Yan Qingge obediently approached Xun and helped her back to the courtyard together.

When they arrived at Xun's house, Xun's maid lit the candlestick in the house, illuminating a small room with bright light, and then retreated under Xun's gaze.

Xun Shi held Yan Qing's singer and touched it carefully, and said: "It's really thin, I really feel sorry for me." Hey, your sinful father, if it weren't for your marriage contract, we would have taken you back to Heshan a long time ago. I'm really sorry for you. ”

Yan Qingge said softly: "I'm not bitter, I live in Bailu Academy now, and I don't want to go back easily." ”

Xun sighed: "What kind of good place can the academy be? Otherwise, why would people have to get a home! You don't like to eat, I don't force you, your uncle told us everything, it's better to be thinner than dead. ”

Yan Qingge didn't expect Le Yi to tell the Xun family about Aunt Hai's poisoning her, and she in turn comforted the Xun family and said: "Grandmother, Qingge is not hungry, usually I don't eat a lot of snacks except for dinner, I started to grow taller in the second half of this year, and I lost weight, and I had a lot of meat on my body before." ”

Xun smiled and touched her head: "It's the same, Rou'er was round when she was a child, and she started to lose weight at about this time, and you are almost exactly the same as Rou'er when she was a child." ”

The Rou'er in Xun's mouth should be Yan Qingge's mother Le Rou, Yan Qingge was stunned, looked at Xun's, and said softly: "Mother...... People rarely talk to me about my mother. ”

"Yes, everyone doesn't like to talk about Rou'er." Xun's eyes were stunned, revealing an unnatural smile: "Your mother, it's because it's so good, that's why it's so good, and people are sad when they think about it, if you want to hear about her, just ask me." ”

Although Yan Qingge was curious about Le Rou, the current appearance of Xun's forced smile made her not want to open her mouth to investigate. After all, she didn't know anything about Le Rou before she was reborn, and she didn't see any impact on her life.

"Grandmother doesn't need to say it." Yan Qingge shook Xun's hand firmly: "The deceased is gone, so we won't mention the past." ”

Xun's eyes were soft, and he sighed and patted Yan Qingge's hand: "Okay, then we won't talk about your mother." But there is one thing I want to ask you, after you celebrate the New Year, you will be eleven years old, even if you are a virtual age, you should have twelve, at the latest in two years, someone in the palace will come to propose, are you really willing to marry in the palace? ”

Yan Qingge repeated the thought in her heart several times, and finally decided to tell the truth to the Xun family, she looked at the Xun family, and said firmly: "If I say that I don't want to marry, will my grandmother think that I don't know the height of the sky." ”

Xun didn't expect Yan Qingge to answer like this, she was interested and asked, "Why don't you want to marry?" ”

Yan Qingge laughed mockingly: "Everyone thinks that if you marry the prince, you are expected to get the greatest glory in the world, but in my opinion, the prince's East Palace is just a huge cage. Grandmother doesn't know, Qingge's temperament is the weirdest, Qingge likes things, if others also fancy it, Qingge doesn't want it. What's more, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is the hottest in the world. ”

Xun looked at Yan Qingge distressedly and said, "If you don't want to enter the palace, you don't want to enter the palace, but you kid, how can you say such a thing." If so, what else is yours in the world? ”

Yan Qingge shook Xun's sleeve and said with a smile: "Grandmother, that's just the first half of the sentence, and there is still half a sentence, what Qingge already has, don't care who grabs it, Qingge won't let go." ”

Xun Shi was a little relieved and said, "This is like a little truth." What you just said was the same as those sisters-in-law who were going to become monks, and it scared me. ”

The old man and the young exchanged words for a while, and the words were clear, and the gap between them was a lot. Xun simply struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Actually, your uncle's letter also said that your personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and you have your own set of ideas, even if you enter the palace, you can't suffer, but I'm afraid that you are not determined to enter the palace, so I asked you to ask." ”

Yan Qingge nodded and said, "Uncle knows me, I will never enter the palace." How to get out of the marriage contract, I already have a little calculation in my heart. I have a very ambitious aunt at home, and she and her concubines have been thinking about the marriage contract for a long time, so I will give them a green cloud so that I can take them out. ”

Xun immediately stopped: "It's not proper! She is a concubine, you are a concubine, doing this, disrespecting the royal family, I am afraid that it will affect you at that time. ”

Yan Qingge showed a mocking smile: "Grandmother, my father almost did the thing of helping his aunt, what is it to marry a concubine into the palace?" I'm a little girl who is not at home all the year round, how can I be the master of these things, of course, but at the behest of my father! ”

Xun Shi came back to his senses, hugged Yan Qingge and wiped his tears and hated: "That's it." I'm really reluctant to let you go back, what kind of messy characters are there in the Yan Mansion, my good girl, was forced to do this. ”

Human character is innate, some people are born to love to grab and fight, some people are born to love to use undignified means to take shortcuts, and some people like to be quiet and happy. But Yan Qingge is obviously not the kind of person who loves to rob and fight, or who takes crooked ways, what kind of environment can force her into the character of taking one step at a time and counting ten steps in front of her? Xun couldn't think about it.

Yan Qingge looked at Xun's crying red eyes, and said softly: "Grandmother, don't be sad. Qingge is also very good now, no one will be able to bully Qingge. ”

Xun wiped his tears and pointed a finger at Yan Qingge's head: "What's so good about this, you stupid thing!" The daughter's family lives a lifetime, do you know what the real good life is? At the beginning, it relied on having a good family and a family to love; When you are older, you marry a good husband who knows cold and hot, and you are hurt into the honey pot; In the second half of your life, you will rely on the good son you will give birth to, so that he will be filial to you. Standing up on his own, he is bitter to the core, and he doesn't look good! ”
