Happy Valentine's Day to everyone~~

——*——*——

In the Ruian Hall, Mrs. Hua was crooked on the Huanghuali wooden couch, and the wine had gradually dissipated. She opened her eyes, glanced at the sky outside the window, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"The end of the hour." The eldest girl, Jingchun, helped the old lady to get up.

"Old Madam Shangguan has a meal over there?"

Jing Chun took the sobering soup and handed it to Mrs. Hua, "I have already ordered someone to prepare." ”

After the old lady finished drinking, she raised her hand and pressed her temple, "What about Brother Yan?" ”

"The Ninth Young Master is here, and when I see you lying down, I will go back to the Purple Jade Courtyard first."

Old Madam Hua was worried about the events of the day, so she said, "Send a message to Ziyu Courtyard and ask him to come over and finish eating." Jing Chun went down and instructed someone to invite the Ninth Young Master, and went to the small kitchen to order the preparation of meals.

When Hua Shaoyan arrived at Ruian Hall, there were already two bowls of porridge and eight dishes of meat and vegetables on the table, and Mrs. Hua raised her hand to beckon him closer, "After eating wine at noon, the dinner is lighter, so you can make do with it." ”

Hua Shaoyan pursed his hands and sat down beside Mrs. Hua with a smile, "My grandson ate too much meat at noon, and I want to change my taste." ”

Old Madam Hua nodded, "Eat quickly!" The grandparents and grandchildren were silent, and they ate with the spoons.

After the meal, Hua Shaoyan did not retire in advance, and obediently sat down beside Mrs. Hua to rub the old man's shoulders, while saying: "Grandmother is tired today, and I don't eat much for dinner. Jing Chun, let the kitchen stew some more bird's nest. ”

"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about that." Mrs. Hua feigned anger and said, "I almost let your grandmother's old face not come out today, but I think of it at this time." ”

"Grandmother is angry, grandchild is wrong, this is an old apology for you." Hua Shaoyan smiled and stood up to salute Mrs. Hua.

Old Madam Hua glanced at Hua Shaoyan, "That's it." Let me ask you, can the girl in the hall see it clearly today? ”

Hua Shaoyan scratched his head, "My grandson was thinking about seeing my grandmother, but I forgot about it." ”

"Begging for a beating!" Old Madam Hua raised her hand and patted Hua Shaoyan's head, "In the capital, you said that the girls in the north are not delicate enough, and they are used to being too pampered by the family, so they don't want to find the south." Now that you're in the south, why don't you care? Today's invited girls are from well-known scholarly families and eunuchs in Jiangnan, you don't even look at it, do you want my grandmother and me to give you a daughter-in-law at will? ”

"Good grandmother, you always feel sorry for your grandson, how can you sell your grandson so easily?"

"If it weren't for Cheng Risuke and those peddlers and pawns, why would your mother be so anxious? Hmph, now I've been holding you back, otherwise where would your mother have the patience to let you shirk and be cunning like this, I'm afraid that I would have already decided your family affairs. Old Madam Hua poked Hua Shaoyan's forehead with hatred, "You are fourteen, it's time to take care of yourself." Your eldest brother has the shade of his ancestors, and he will inherit the title in the future. When your second brother was fourteen, he had already won the show. As for you, you have such a clever head, but your mind is used on the side door, and you do not follow the right path. ”

"Grandmother, what's so difficult about being a showman? That's because the grandson doesn't want to read those eight-strand articles. Why does the eldest husband have to take the road of the imperial examination? Sun Er has always wanted to go to the army......" Hua Shaoyan asked tentatively, he was not sure if the old lady would be able to answer.

Mrs. Hua is not confined to her children and grandchildren, since her grandson does not like literature, then it is okay to practice martial arts, "Go to the army?" When you return to Beijing, let your father send him to the Gyeonggi guard camp. ”

Hua Shaoyan retorted: "No. What kind of good place can Xue Zhong stay in? It's just a place for the go-and-go guys to eat, and I can't afford to go to that kind of place. My grandson wants to go to the Northwest! ”

Mrs. Hua was born in Jiangmen, and when she was young, she didn't like red clothes and arms, and she didn't think it was dangerous to go to the army to train with Hua Shaoyan's background. Although she was pleased that Hua Shaoyan was not as unmotivated as those children of the family in Beijing, she really wanted to go to the northwest where the bandits were in charge, but she had another worry: one was that she was reluctant to suffer her most beloved grandson, and second, she was worried that Shaoyan, who was used to living a pampered life, was uncertain, and was afraid that he would just go to the army on a whim, and when he saw the hardships and cruelty of the life in the Northwest Army, he would retreat.

Mrs. Hua shook her head and objected: "The northwest is bitterly cold, bandits are everywhere, and the alien iron horses are brave, which is not suitable for a fledgling hairy boy like you." Does your father and mother know about this? ”

"My father knew, he just thought I was joking...... Besides, if the mother does not allow it, the father will not easily agree. Hua Shaoyan's face was embarrassed, and he explained, "My mother also knew about it, so she wanted me to get married earlier and stay in Beijing." The grandson didn't follow, so he came to Hangzhou to study. The grandson doesn't want to be tied up by the children's private affairs, why should the eldest husband have no wife? My grandson wants to start a business first and then start a family......"

Old Madam Hua said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"You don't keep talking about hugging your great-grandson, and your grandson is afraid of upsetting you." Hua Shaoyan was short of breath, not worried that the old man and his mother would have air in one nostril, so they tied him up as the groom's official.

"So, without saying anything, just take advantage of the fact that your mother and I went to Dong'an to see the Duchess of Anguo, sneak away alone, first go to Hangzhou to avoid the limelight, and then go to the northwest when your parents are relaxed."

"My grandson heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is good, and the interest of studying on a whim is not ......" Hua Shaoyan lowered his head embarrassedly under the scrutinizing gaze of Mrs. Hua, "Grandson knows that he is wrong!" ”

Mrs. Hua held Hua Shaoyan's hand, "It's understandable for the eldest husband to display his ambitions, and we will not hinder the future of our children and grandchildren as elders." But you must know that unfilial piety is great, how can you only care about achieving your heart's wishes, and ignore human morality. Your mother worries about your family, and she has her own concerns. ”

Hua Shaoyan lowered his head to listen to the training, and the old lady saw that he nodded and did not refute, and said slowly: "If you really want to go to the northwest, you can't ...... it."

Hua Shaoyan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "It's still your old man who understands the righteousness the most!" ”

"Wait, listen to Grandmother." Mrs. Hua intercepted his words, "It's just that you have to get married first, and where are you going after you get married, grandmother will never stop you!" ”

Hua Shaoyan's eyes fell downward, his eyes were half-drooping, and there seemed to be a different kind of divine light passing under the yin eyelashes, "That grandson wants to find a lovely one by himself." ”

Mrs. Hua frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "That also depends on the character of the family, is it possible that you casually pull a person of unknown origin, and your grandmother still has to make decisions for you?" ”

Hua Shaoyan frowned and asked, "Is it true that the girl here today will agree as long as your grandson sees it?" ”

"Hmm." The old lady didn't think about it carefully, and thought that her grandson really liked it, so she said with a smile, "As long as you like it, grandmother will call the shots for you?" ”

"My grandson has taken a fancy to one." The beauty shows her face, and the corners of her lips are flowery, although the bun is a little smaller, but it is just right, and the longer it is delayed, the better.

"Really?" When Mrs. Hua heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, "Tell your grandmother, which girl do you like?" ”

Hua Shaoyan coughed lightly twice, then looked at Mrs. Hua with a straight face, and a few words popped out from between her teeth, "Shangguan's." ”

"Who's from it?" The old lady's face darkened.

"Shangguan's family." Huameiren's voice unconsciously lowered by three points.

"Who's from it?" The old lady's face darkened by three points.

"Shangguan's family." The gorgeous man stepped out and shouted at the top of her voice.

"Bastard thing, when I'm an old fool?" Mrs. Hua slapped Hua Shaoyan on the shoulder, and Hua Shaoyan fell to the ground carelessly, "How old is Dai girl?" If you want to shirk the marriage, you don't have to find a child to do perfunctory. Is it possible that you still want to get a child daughter-in-law to your home? ”

"Yes." Hua Shaoyan rubbed his shoulders and muttered nonchalantly.

"Phew! You are an unconscious thing, and you want to be angry with your grandmother? I don't think there is enough trouble in Beijing, how do you want the whole capital to see our Hua family's jokes? Old Madam Hua glared at Hua Shaoyan, "Besides, even if you are willing, Old Madam Shangguan is reluctant to give up her precious granddaughter." If you go for ten years and eight years, and come back as a half-old man, the girl will still wait for you? Put away your bastard words and pass them to the old lady of Shangguan, where will my old face go! I think you should let your mother ask the emperor for marriage! ”

"Don't, don't! Mother is enough for Dad to stand it. Get me another one, I can't afford it. Hua Shaoyan waved his hand and begged for mercy, "Find someone with a noble status, who is rude; Find a good personality, Mu Ne; Find someone who looks pretty and squeamish. It's better to wait a few more years, the buns have grown up, and maybe it's still interesting. He saw that the old lady's face was not good, and he only muttered this sentence in his mouth in the end, and did not dare to say it to beg for a beating.

Old Mrs. Hua smiled angrily when she saw his handsome face that was full of indifference, "You are more exquisite!" ”

Hua Shaoyan breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had made up his final mind, lifted his clothes and knelt in front of Mrs. Hua.

"What are you doing here? Get up! Old Madam Hua was startled, "Jingchun, come on, you guys quickly help Brother Yan'er up." ”

"In the army, my grandson must go. If the grandmother is not at ease, the grandson promises that he will return to Beijing in five years, regardless of whether the grandson succeeds or not. Hua Shaoyan leaned over and kowtowed to Mrs. Hua three times, "I still hope that my grandmother will be perfect!" ”

Hua Shaoyan may be stubborn by nature in the eyes of outsiders and his family, but Mrs. Hua firmly believes that although her little grandson is casual and uninhibited on the outside, he is pure and kind in nature, and he has an idea inside, and there will never be a difference in major rights and wrongs. Such a temperament, if he is persuaded to obtain the law, he will definitely be able to achieve a career in the future, so he has always been very fond of him, and even his son complained that the old mother spoiled the little grandson too much, making his temperament more and more stubborn and unbearable, causing trouble everywhere.

Today, seeing his grandson's words on weekdays, he took the initiative to kneel down and kowtow to himself with a resolute face, and Mrs. Hua suddenly felt that Xiao Jiu had really grown up, and she had mixed feelings for a while, "That's it, you kid recognized it, and the eight horses can't pull it back." ”

Knowing that his grandmother had agreed softly, Hua Shaoyan kowtowed again, "It's just that I can't be filial in front of my grandmother, and my grandson is ashamed." ”

"Get up." Old Madam Hua beckoned Hua Shaoyan to sit beside her, and said, "I'll go to your mother's place." Next month, you and I will go back to Beijing. ”

"Then the grandson thanked the grandmother first." Hua Shaoyan smiled happily and diligently helped the old lady rub her shoulders and beat her back.

"Go and go, I was angry with you, and I came to pretend to be a good guy again." Although Mrs. Hua scolded, her face looked a lot better, and her eyes were full of love and doting when she looked at Hua Shaoyan.

Hua Shaoyan pinched Mrs. Hua's temper, obediently served her old man's bird's nest porridge, and told a few jokes to make the old man happy. After laughing for a while, the old lady's resentment disappeared by half, and then she told him: "The old lady Shangguan and Dai Yatou are still living in another courtyard for a few days, don't go out and spread the word just now." ”

When Hua Shaoyan heard that Qing Dai was still in the courtyard, a strange light flashed through his bright eyes, and his thin lips raised, "Grandmother, don't worry, since people are here, we must also do our best to be a landlord." ”
