Chapter 725: Old Butler
The Guan family's mansion is not small, of course, it is not as exaggerated as the General's Mansion, it occupies a whole street, the Guan Mansion is located in a deep alley in Jingyang East City, Li Yao heard her mother say that there are eleven military generals living on the left and right sides of this deep alley, and the relationship between the neighbors is very close, even Li Yao's uncle and second uncle are looking for daughters-in-law in this alley, and they are still childhood sweethearts.
Guan Fu was in the first household at the entrance of the alley, and when a few people arrived, there was already an old housekeeper waiting at the door.
The old butler looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with age spots and wrinkles on his face, and many gray hairs in his neatly combed hair, and he looked kind.
The old housekeeper saw Guan Xinyue coming with the children, and hurriedly welcomed Guan Xinyue into the house.
"Miss, the old lady and the old lady have been waiting for the eldest lady and a few young masters and young ladies in the morning." The old housekeeper looked at Guan Xinyue like a child who had been away from home for a long time.
Although Guan Xinyue has been married for many years, every time she returns to the door, the old housekeeper still calls Guan Xinyue 'eldest lady', and she hasn't changed it for many years.
Guan Xinyue nodded and asked, "Uncle Xiang, are my eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law all here?" ”
"The eldest lord and the eldest lady are here, the second lord has not come back after going to court, and the second lady is down." The old housekeeper Guan Xiang replied.
Now the old lady of the Guan family cares about the eldest master Guan Zhixing in training and preparing for the Praetorian Guards, and he is allowed not to go to court on weekdays, and today the second master Guan Zhiyong still needs to go to the court, and the care Yihe Guan Zhixing deliberately stayed at home, just to prepare to meet Guan Xinyue and Li Yao.
"What about the third brother and the third brother and sister?" Guan Xinyue asked again.
"The third master and the third lady are also here, I heard about the little lady yesterday, and I waited for it this morning." Guan Xiang replied, but his tone was not like praising Guan Zhiming and his wife, but there was something meaningful.
Guan Xinyue pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't reply.
Guan Xiang lowered his head again and looked at Li Yao who was being held by Guan Xinyue, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, this is Miss Miss, right?" ”
In fact, there is no need to ask, he saw Guan Xinyue holding Li Yao so nervously, and he knew it when he saw Li Yao's somewhat familiar appearance, and this more question was also to lead the topic to Li Yao, he saw that this little girl was beautiful and clever, and he felt much better than that Li Mingzhu, and she looked like.
"Well, this is Yao'er, Yao'er, call Grandpa Xiang." Guan Xinyue looked at Li Yao and smiled.
"Oh, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, how can you let the little lady call the old slave grandfather." Guan Xiang waved his hand again and again.
Li Yao shouted sweetly: "Grandpa Xiang." ”
Guan Xiang's old face flushed, and he responded a little embarrassedly, but his eyes were full of joy.
Guan Xinyue said with a smile: "Uncle Xiang has been in the Guan Mansion since he was a child, and he has worked hard for the Guan family all his life, Yao'er should call you grandpa, and Uncle Xiang doesn't have to excuse himself." ”
Guan Xiang was no longer polite, and only smiled: "Hey, yes, it's the old slave who wants to be bad." ”
That is, what did he think, and he asked: "Little Miss has been living abroad all these years, but she has not suffered less, right?" ”
Speaking of this, Guan Xinyue was a little sad again.
Guan Xiang looked at Guan Xinyue's appearance, how could he not know that this little lady was suffering, he sighed and didn't dare to ask again, for fear of causing Guan Xinyue to be even more sad.
Immediately, Guan Xiang led a few people to the main courtyard, and then talked about other things.
"Miss, there are some things, the old lady and the old lady don't let the old slave tell the eldest lady, saying that they are afraid that the eldest lady will worry, but the old slave is aggrieved for the old lady and the old lady in his heart, and he is really unhappy."
