The next day, when the sky was just dawning, Jin Nian went to the outer courtyard to ask her father for peace, she arrived a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, her father had just changed into his official uniform, and when he saw her coming, he smiled and said: "What's the matter today, one by one, they all came so early, and your fourth brother Gu has just finished inviting An back to the room." ”

Jin Nian suddenly had the illusion that he almost lifted a stone and hit his own feet, fortunately, Gu Yanyi took a step first, otherwise, wouldn't he have run into it again.

She thought of Mama Lin taking the mint incense last night, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart.

After breakfast early, Jin Nian went to Xie Mansion as usual.

The little maid who greeted her at the Hanging Flower Gate said happily to her: "Miss Cousin, the old lady has come back from the academy, and now she is talking to the eldest young master in the study!" ”

My grandfather is back! She has been in Huai'an for more than half a month, and finally saw her grandfather, she took out the gold leaf given to her by the old lady, rewarded the little maid with her own hands, and went to her grandmother to wait for her grandmother.

In the study room of the outer courtyard of the Xie Mansion, Old Lady Xie was talking to Xie Qian about Xue Birong.

Mrs. Xie once paid homage to the household department, but within two months of taking office, she resigned and returned to her hometown due to physical reasons. After three or four years, the sick body slowly recovered, and Mrs. Xie was no longer enthusiastic about his career, and the two sons in the family had made two improvements, and it seemed that his career was quite smooth, and he was even more reluctant to go out again.

Later, I was invited by a friend, so I went to Huai'an Academy to be a master.

Old lady Xie doesn't seem to have high requirements for himself, but he has high hopes for Xie Qian. Therefore, the requirements for Xie Qian's words and deeds are relatively strict.

He sat on the Taishi chair, stared at Xie Qian sharply, and said, "Last night, the academy was locked, and Xue Xiucai ran to find me, saying that his sister had hanged herself, begging me to persuade you to let his sister enter the door and save her life, how are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

Xie Qian's heart was shocked, no wonder his grandfather returned home as soon as it was dawn, it turned out to be for this.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said respectfully: "That Miss Xue, my grandson will not let her enter the door of my Xie Mansion under any circumstances." ”

Hearing Xie Qian's resolute words, Old Lady Xie put down the tea cup in his hand and asked Xie Qian with a solemn face: "Have you thought about it?" Don't let her in, if she really dies, you'll have to bear a cold reputation. ”

"From the Teachings, I can find a way to make him pretend to be deaf and dumb and not write this paragraph into your resume, but in the future, when your political enemies drill into the camp, it will inevitably turn over these old things, and then they will become a handle to attack you, you must know that paper can never contain fire."

"I understand what my grandfather said." Xie Qian didn't hesitate at all, "I want to miss my cousin, if I let Xue Birong enter the door, I will inevitably wronged her, even if she doesn't care, but I can't get over this hurdle in my heart!" What's more, Xue Birong is so scheming, how can I let her take advantage of it? ”

On the day of the birthday banquet, he came back from Tongzhi in a trance, and after calming down and recalling every detail, he found that he was designed by Xue Birong, so it has nothing to do with him whether Xue Birong is dead or alive.

It's just that Jin Nian is here, he doesn't want to make himself look cowardly in front of her, and he doesn't want Jin Nian to burp in his heart as soon as he enters the door, she has had enough of grievances in Su Mansion, and she has to solve these troubles no matter what.

Old Lady Xie couldn't help frowning, when has this been, I still want to think about these things of love and love, and let him go out to travel for two years, why is he still impetuous, like a half-grown boy?!

He glanced at Xie Qian, and saw that he still couldn't hide the irritability in his heart under his calm face.

In the end, he is young, and his love is just beginning!

Old lady Xie sighed: "This time, for the sake of Sister Nian'er's face, I will do what you want, in the future, you must be more cautious in your actions, your second brother is also out of tune, and you will have to pick up the burden of Xie Fu in the future." ”

Xie Qian smiled modestly, and the corners of his lips were dyed with a layer of joy. Grandfather supported him to marry Jin Nian, he thought that his grandfather would force him to marry Na Xue Birong, but now his hanging heart has finally let go.

In Cuisong Hall, Jin Nian was accompanying her grandmother to eat morning tea without a bite.

When she refused the third crab roe xiaolongbao handed over by her grandmother, a gray figure suddenly walked in at the door, wearing a wide Taoist robe, looking at Jin Nian as he walked.

"Sister Nian is here." Old lady Xie smiled and walked straight to the side of the case.

Jin Nian stood up, saluted respectfully, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, if you don't come back, I will go to the academy to find you." How are you doing? ”

Old lady Xie looked at Jinnian and saw that the little girl had grown much taller than four years ago, and she was no longer the little girl who hid in his study and peeked at the book, but now, she is more and more like her mother, and she is also a lot more cheerful.

He was relieved: "I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have come back today, so I asked Sister Nian to invite me, and let the mountain chiefs, masters, and even the adults in the academy know that I have a good granddaughter." ”

When he finished speaking, he laughed to himself.

Jin Nian also smiled, and instructed the maid to add another chair, and the three of them talked around the coffee table.

Mrs. Xie asked Jin Nian: "In Yangzhou, can you still go to school?" Although women are first and foremost husbands and children, reading more can still broaden their horizons. ”

The little maid has added a new teacup to Mrs. Xie, Jin Nian personally poured tea for her grandfather, the teapot was a little heavy, she held her breath, and when she finished pouring the tea to answer, Mrs. Xie said "Huh" again, and said: "I remember that you and I cried a copy of "Southwest Geographical Atlas" from me, and now, a few years have passed, can you finish reading?" ”

Unexpectedly, my grandfather still remembered this, Jin Nian was amazed, and said, "...... I gave it to my eldest brother. ”

Seeing that she looked like she had done something wrong, Mrs. Xie smiled and quipped: "Your eldest brother, a young man, you have found a good place for this book!" ”

It's good that my grandfather didn't blame her! If he knew that the book he gave him was still borrowed by the British public, he would be even happier!

Jin Nian smiled, she didn't mention Li Lie's borrowing of books, she thought of the specious words about Xue Birong and Aunt Rong. She thought it would be better to relay those words to her grandparents, so that they could take precautions.

She pursed her lips, looked at her grandmother and said, "...... I listened to Aunt Rong's meaning, and Miss Xue had the idea of self-destruction. ”

Old Mrs. Xie became angry when she heard this, and said loudly: "What? One crying, two troubles, three hangings, is this to scare us? What a good thing can be to be commensurate with an aunt and sister......"

Because Xue Xiucai had already found the academy, Old Lady Xie knew about it earlier, he glared at Old Lady Xie dissatisfied, and said, "In front of the child, what are you excited about, and you are not afraid of scaring the child." ”

Old Mrs. Xie was angry, and she stiffened her neck and said, "That's because they deceive people too much!" I'm. ”
