Reverie of the past

The next morning, she gently got up and got out of bed to freshen up. He also woke up, just didn't want to get up and reminisce in bed. After freshening up, Lian'er gently walked back to the bed, found that he had woken up, and gave him a bright smile: "Get up, I'll bring you water." ”

When he had finished tidying up, Lian'er pushed him to the door and said she wanted to change her clothes. He hugged her very nostalgically, "Marry me, won't you?" Lian'er just grinned, "You promised me last night." "When did I promise you?" "What do you say?" He began to tease her, reaching out to touch her breasts, but she quickly dodged and pushed him out the door, "Don't mess around, grandma is waiting for me to comb my hair."

"Then you should go to grandma's place in a while, I want to practice, I'll come to you when I'm done, and have breakfast with grandma, okay?" The body is the most important. ”

When Lian'er finished changing her clothes and went out, Xinjie had already gathered her mind and practiced her qi. He has been in martial arts for so many years, although he has encountered opponents on the rivers and lakes, but he still practices diligently. When a master reaches his level, sometimes it is not easy to improve a little, but he still gradually improves a little bit.

Today, I will be 70 years old. Chen Biyan looked at her face in the mirror, although she only looked like she was about fifty, but her life was rare for seventy years, so many years of ups and downs and hard work, coupled with the fact that her husband had passed away, her heart had long been old, but the positive attitude towards life she had developed since she was a child made her constantly vigilant against herself for decades, and she could not relax. Although she has a full house of children and grandchildren, her most important children do not completely reassure her.

Xiaoxiao is her only daughter, and after years of struggle, she chose to become a monk. This is the last thing she can do as a mother. She and her sister Bihua, born in the Wenzhao Marquis Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, have a noble daughter, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medical suspense, all of them. The elder sister entered the palace as the crown princess, and then the queen, the queen mother, and the mother of the world. She married into the Tang Sect herself, and has been in charge of the housework for many years, and her children and grandchildren are all important ministers in the court. But even so, she still can't give her daughter a perfect home.

Among her children, only Xiaoxiao is more or less like her, and the three sons are all more like their fathers. Especially Tang Lan, who has been very rigid all his life. If Yeon-yeon had lived with him for a few more years, he might have made a difference. It's a pity that the accident. Tang Lan's marriage was originally engaged by her husband and her mother-in-law, and it was inconvenient for her to talk too much at that time. But this daughter-in-law really disappointed her. Yeonyan's matter was acquiesced in by her. When she saw Yanyan for the first time in Jiangnan, she seemed to see the shadow of Peixin back then. Peixin and Yu Zhenxiang were both sent by their respective families to her father's door to study medicine. She and her sister liked Peixin's kindness and frankness back then, and Yanyan was like the shadow of Peixin back then. When Lan'er was with her, she was also a lot more easy-going, and her life changed a lot. Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. Since Yeon-yeon's death, Lan'er has become rigid again, even deeper than before, and she hasn't seen him happy in years.

Among her grandchildren, her favorites are Xintian, Xinjie, Xinye and Xinyue. These children were more like her than any of her sons. Xintian still has some of the shadow of his father more or less, Xinye is more like herself, and Xinjie is not only like her, but also has a frank heart of admiration, although she has been away with Xiaoxiao for many years, and she has been wandering for many years, but the essence of this child has not changed.

Xintian and Xinjie's marriage has always been her heart disease. Xintian she thinks it's okay, no matter how bad the eldest daughter-in-law is, she will help him take care of it, Xinjie's child, if she doesn't think about him anymore, no one will care about him.

Ever since Ning'er came, she had been observing the child. She found that in the past few years, she has become more and more fond of this girl. When she first rescued her, she just remembered the love of the old people, and later she found that this child not only had the shadow of Brother Nan and Jingchun, but also that although this child had been trained in the palace for many years, he did not lose his nature because of the darkness in the palace. She found that the sister of the Queen Mother must have put a lot of thought into this child, and her cultivation of her can be seen from her ability. It's no wonder that she would arrange her by Yiyi's side, if there is no accident from Yixiang, this is the person who will help her take charge of the harem in the future. People are not as good as heaven, where did she think that more than ten years ago, in order to leave a little blood for Brother Nan and Jingchun, she asked Lan'er to steal the child from the Zhou family, and originally planned to bring back the child who was quietly raised by the Tang Gate, and returned to the Tang Gate three years ago. When she was the sister of the Queen Mother, she was unjustly imprisoned and issued a decree to pardon the descendants of the Zhou family, and at that time Ning'er was the only survivor and was brought into the palace to raise. Three years ago, the Queen Mother informed Xinye in the capital that he would try to take Ning'er away. Although Xinye arrived a little late when Woyunguan arrived, Yixiang had already drawn his sword to face her, but at the moment when the sword was finally released, Xinye secretly sent a hidden weapon to tilt the blade of the sword, and did not stab the vital point, and Yixiang did not understand martial arts, and the blood flowed out after a sword was stabbed, and he was stupid, and hurriedly withdrew, which gave Xinye the opportunity to save people.

Since Ning'er lived by her side incognito as Lian'er, she really appreciated the fun of being a grandmother. At home, she has always cared for her grandchildren, and since Lian'er recovered from her injury, Lian'er has cared for her wholeheartedly. No, there are many guests here today, she must wait for Lian'er to comb her hair, she is not only beautiful, but also soft hands and feet, and combing her hair is also a kind of enjoyment. In addition, Lian'er's various talents cultivated by her sister are extremely effective in managing Baicaotang. If you think about the future of the Tang family, Lian'er is a good candidate for the eldest granddaughter-in-law. Xintian has pursued her for the past two years, and she has not stopped her. If there is such a fate, it is also a good thing. It's just that it seems that this kid doesn't take a fancy to this young grandmother of the Tang family, and will be in charge of the important position of one party in the future. It stands to reason that she came from the palace and knew the interests here at a glance, and the position of this young grandmother was something that many people couldn't ask for. Lian'er may have given up so much to avoid suspicion, and at the same time, she may indeed have no feelings for Xintian. The affairs of men and women are incomprehensible to others. She didn't dislike it because Lian'er didn't accept this position, but felt that she liked this simple child more.

Lian'er's residence and the internal strength and mental methods she practiced were all carefully selected by her. If God had known, maybe she would have really blamed her for being biased. But she's been giving the new day two years, and she hasn't made an inch of it yet. Of course, she had to find a way to keep this child in Tangmen and stay as her granddaughter-in-law. If Xinjie can't keep her, she knows that there is still Xinye, although Lian'er has always insisted that it is suitable for sisters and brothers, and it is a life-saving grace, but if there is no choice, she also believes that Lian'er will accept her arrangement. But now it seems that things are going as she planned, and she's about to get this granddaughter-in-law.

She picked up a faded wishful knot in the drawer of the dressing table and took it out and recited it to herself: "Brother Nan, Jingchun, your Ning'er is going to be my granddaughter-in-law." If my unruly grandson couldn't manage herself, maybe she would be my granddaughter-in-law by now. And I hope you two know that you two are underground and don't blame me. I really like this child, and I must keep her with me. But don't worry, my grandson is not my favoritism and says that he is good, he is really good. He is also Peixin's grandson. Peixin, when they get married, I will accompany them to Jiangnan to see you. Our grandson has grown up and is going to marry Sister Jingchun's Ning'er. It's just that before they get married, I'm not sure what will be the twists and turns, especially your family Zhenxiang, I don't know if he will do anything unexpected. ”

She heard Lian'er come in from outside, put the old knot in the drawer, and turned her head and waited kindly for the girl. From her light steps, she concluded that Xinjie still controlled herself last night, even if she didn't control it, what if she didn't control it, wasn't that what she wanted? After so many years of walking the rivers and lakes, she has become less and less formal.

This girl's usual clothes are very elegant, today because of her birthday, so she specially picked a lotus-colored, and the skirt below is embroidered with a circle of small begonia flowers. It looks fresh. Today's complexion is also very good, and the mood is good, it seems that Xinjie has passed this hurdle.

Lian'er began to comb her hair a little bit in earnest, and she admired her in the mirror.

"Is Xinjie up?"

"Get up, you're practicing." She noticed that Lian'er's hand hesitated for a moment, and her face turned red, This girl realized that she had said the wrong thing.

She looked at it with relief, apparently her original guess was correct. Although this girl ran back from the city in anger a few days ago, she already had Xinjie's kid in her heart. Or something to be angry about. It was Xinyue who told her that Xinjie had stayed up all night, and Lian'er said that morning that she would come back to help her grandmother prepare for her birthday, so she hurried back to Zhuangzi by herself, and no one waited. Now it seems that the rain has cleared.

"In the future, don't let him come and practice in the morning, let him sit and drink some ginseng tea, and practice again after mixing his breath, so as not to get hurt. ”

Lian'er just let out a simple oh, not knowing how to answer.

Lian'er combed her hair, helped her choose a headdress, inserted it, and then accompanied her to walk around the garden, take a look, and then returned to her yard, she instructed Mother Qu: "Go and see if the third young master has finished practicing, let him come and hammer my back after practicing, accompany me to breakfast, forget about the others, anyway, they will come over to salute in a while." ”

Mother Qu went happily, she knew that this was the old lady who was matching the little couple. When Xinjie just came back, Qu's mother reminded the old lady that maybe she should move Miss Lian to her yard, in the yard of her aunt, two people are alone, afraid that something will happen. At that time, the old lady said: "What's not right, I'm worried about him, I originally said to marry Lan Xin for him to settle down in a home, but it turned out to be such a person, if he can really get Lian'er, I will be happy." "Yesterday, Xinjie asked her to help go to see Miss Lian, maybe it was really as the old lady wanted.

If this breakfast does not conform to the identity of the old lady of the Tang family in the eyes of outsiders. More than sophistication, not enough luxury. A large vat of thick millet porridge, three delicate side dishes, three plates of chic pastries. Outsiders want to come, I don't know how the breakfast of the Tang Gate should be, in fact, only the people inside know, the old lady pays attention to the deliciousness and enough.

Xinjie hasn't had the opportunity to have breakfast with his grandmother for many years. Today's pastries look very fresh, I haven't tried them before, and although they are piled up on a plate, each one is very small. He picked up a small plum blossom-like steamed bun casually, and when he bit into it, there was actually a filling inside, and there was a strong aroma of peanuts and walnuts, which was quite pleasant.

"Grandma, when did you change to a dim sum cook? This thing is so cutely made. ”

"Where did it change, it's still Cao Da Fat."

"Cao Da Pang has this skill?!"

"Where does he have this craft, this is all taught to him by Lian'er." He was a little surprised, the ladies and ladies up and down the Tang family did not enter the kitchen, of course, they were more happy.

"That's why only with my grandmother can I have this blessing. The things on the outside are either too coarse or too greasy, eating is just for eating, there is no fun at all, where like grandma's here, everything is delicate and delicious. ”

"You didn't bring it on yourself, messing around outside all day. You and your eldest brother hurriedly married me a daughter-in-law and lived a peaceful life at home, what do you want to eat?! ”

"Well, I'd rather than do anything, but I'm afraid I'll marry one and come back, and I'll do nothing. I'll do anything, people don't want to marry me. As he spoke, he looked at the person he liked. Lian'er lowered her head and drank the porridge slowly, ignoring him. Chen Biyan thought it was very funny.

"You're so shapeless, whose girl wants to marry you?! You can fix your faults, and when you get better, I'll tell you about my daughter-in-law. ”

"Okay, I'll change! But grandma, this time you and Dad are not allowed to make our own decisions, I must choose for myself. ”

"You chose it yourself?! You can choose for yourself, but I have to like it. As long as you know, you are not allowed to bring flowers or grass to your home. ”

"Grandma, I naturally know this, marry a wife and ask for a lady. ”

"It's good to know."

"So as long as it's the lady I choose, grandma agrees?!"

"Agreed." Chen Biyan naturally knew what was going on in his heart, and couldn't help but smile.

"That's okay, grandma, it's just that I made a choice, grandma, you don't want to embarrass us."

"You guys?! Who are you? Xinjie knew that his grandmother knew it, and just wanted to toss them.

"Naturally, it's your grandson and your future granddaughter-in-law."

"Hahaha, stinky boy, actually calculating your grandmother, wait for the girl to answer you, the girl may not agree to you."

He looked at Lian'er tightly, only to see that her face was already flushed, she lowered her head and didn't speak, he didn't want her to be too embarrassed.

"Don't worry, old man, I will let your granddaughter-in-law agree."

"Hahaha, that's fine, save me from worrying about you kid." Chen Biyan knew that the result she was expecting was not far off.

Mother Qu also came to make fun: "Third young master, if you can really settle down, it is really a big wish of the old lady." How many years has the old lady been worried about you. ”

"My grandson must marry someone your old man likes."

"That's better, but first, you're not allowed to associate with the messy women you used to have."

"Grandson promises you."

"It's useless for you to promise me, you have to promise your future daughter-in-law."
