Chapter 624: Growth
The family, plus Xuan'an, had a lively meal.
Xuan'an is still the same, obedient in front of the old princess, and seeing Xuanshao is even more like a mouse seeing a cat.
It's just that because the title of Zhuangjun Wangfu was taken away, the King of Zhuangjun and the princess of Zhuangjun were sent to the bitter cold land of the Northeast, and he suddenly became a commoner from a dignified prince of the county, although because of the favor of the old princess to continue to live a comfortable life of fine clothes and food, many things are still different after all.
He used to sleep in the willows, and at least two-thirds of the time he spent a year outside the house, although now he is a lot more restrained, but the last time he was invited to a banquet, those who were usually rushing to slap him up seemed to have changed their faces, and sneered at him.
Originally, he still didn't understand it, but he still understood it when he listened to it. In the past, people called him to drink and visit brothels together, either because they had similar status, or because they wanted him to pay the bill and take advantage. And now I call him out, just to see his jokes or to have fun with him.
Xuan An no longer has a heart or lungs, and after he rolled up his sleeves and fought with others after insulting his parents because of others, he no longer accepts the invitations of those former "friends", and he doesn't even go to the brothel he used to go to.
He is in his own garden in Prince Zhuang's mansion, every day let one or two maids play and sing by his side, when he is interested, he sings a few words, most of the time he is lying on the warm kang with the back of his head in his arms, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
After this sudden change, Xuan An finally learned the emotion he never had before-melancholy.
It is said that he also ran to the old princess to show that he was also willing to go to the northeast to accompany the county king and the county princess to suffer, but the old princess just said lightly that she was old. didn't want his grandson to be too far away from him, so he honestly stopped tossing.
After the meal, Xuan'an plucked up the courage to say that he wanted to talk to the old princess and Xuan Shao.
This surprised everyone present.
Jiang got up and hugged Xuan Xiaoyi, and motioned for Sanniang to go out with her. She guessed that Xuan An probably still wanted to discuss the matter of King Zhuang with the old princess and Xuan Shao. Sanniang also guessed so, so she smiled and said, "My mother and I took Xiaoyi back to the yard first." β
I didn't want Xuan'an to shake his head solemnly: "What I want to talk about is the matter of our palace, and the eldest aunt and sister-in-law will also sit down and discuss it together." β
Sanniang glanced at Jiang. looked at the old princess and Xuan Shao again.
Jiang Shi also looked at the old princess, the old princess sat there drinking tea without any movement on her face, Xuan Shao only raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xuan An without saying anything else.
Sanniang and Jiang sat down again, and Sanniang only sent the nurse and a few big girls to take Xuan Xiaoyi to play in the warm pavilion behind the old princess.
Xuan An looked at everyone, hesitated for a moment, and then looked up at the old princess and said, "Grandmother, my grandson wants to get a job in the future." β
As soon as this remark came out. Everyone was stunned.
They all know what kind of person Xuan'an is, this is a veritable gentleman, and he only visits the kiln and plays on weekdays. King Zhuang Jun didn't have any errands for him before, but Xuan'an always had all kinds of ways to mess up these errands, and he couldn't do anything but sing small songs. Didn't like anything either.
"An'er, why do you have such thoughts?" The old princess asked thoughtfully.
Xuan'an pursed his lips: "My grandson has been thinking about it for a long time these days, our Zhuangwangfu has been bad for the past two years, first the eldest brother was framed and lost his title and errand, and then my father was poisoned." There must be someone who sees that our Zhuang Wangfu is easy to bully and secretly framed us. If I had understood these powers earlier, and had received errands to help my father and eldest brother earlier, maybe the Zhuang Wangfu would not be as isolated as it is now. Didn't it say in the play that father and son are of the same heart. Brothers work together, and their strength breaks gold. Grandmother, grandson is also a person from Zhuang Wangfu, should not stay out of the matter, now that the eldest brother and father have been robbed of the title one after another, it is time for the grandson to stand up for the faΓ§ade of the palace. β
Everyone looked at Xuan'an's eyes that were suddenly full of courage. I couldn't help but be silent.
Sanniang glanced at Xuan'an, what did she say? Is it a fool to be a fool? What is the structure of Xuan'an's brain? She was genuinely curious and wanted to pry it open and take a look. How can anyone be so simple?
The old princess looked at Xuan An with some pity in her eyes, but seeing Xuan An looking at her with trust and longing, the old princess could only sigh secretly.
"It's good that you have this heart, but ...... This matter needs to be considered in the long term. After all, your father has just been robbed of his knighthood, and it is not easy for you to get a good job. Let's wait until it's a little quieter outside. β
Xuan An thought for a while and nodded: "My grandson listens to my grandmother." After speaking, he said to Xuan Shao with some restraint, "If the eldest brother needs help with anything, just tell me, we are brothers after all." β
Xuan Shao looked at his clear eyes, although he was still expressionless, he still nodded.
Xuan'an is basically the kind of person who shines when he gives a little sunshine, and he is happy when he sees this. He didn't plan to get an errand to help his family all at once when he said this, he just wanted to show his attitude.
"It's not too early, you live far away, go back first." The old princess said to Xuan'an.
Xuan'an got up and saluted the old princess, Jiang, Xuanshao and Sanniang.
The old princess summoned Mama Zhang and asked her to find two mothers-in-law to make lanterns for Xuan'an and send him back to his courtyard in the outer courtyard.
After Xuan'an left, several people in the room were silent.
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for him to do this." The old princess sighed a little.
Xuan Shao said: "The emperor will not send him an errand." β
What kind of person Xuan'an is, everyone in the capital knows that this is the reason why even though he stared at the hat of the prince of Zhuangjun before, there was still no suitable person who was willing to tell him his daughter.
The daughters of the families who are in the right place with him are all noble and will not be sold cheaply, and the princess of the county does not look down on the concubines or those with slightly lower family backgrounds.
The old princess smiled bitterly: "I naturally know this, and I don't plan to let him get any errands." He honestly became his young master. If he is idle and has nothing to do, he can buy him an industry and let him work, which can be regarded as a livelihood. Other than that...... and his family affairs will be settled for him. β
Speaking of this, the old princess set her eyes on Jiang and Sanniang, and hesitated. She rarely goes out to socialize now, so naturally she doesn't know which girl is suitable, but it seems a little inappropriate to hand it over to Jiang or Sanniang.
After all, why King Zhuang Jun was robbed of his title, Xuan'an was ignorant, but everyone here knew it.
"Well, I'll help him see each other. I don't want the woman's identity and appearance, as long as the family background is innocent, the temperament is virtuous and can run the family, it is best to be able to cure An'er's escape. To marry a wife, you must first marry a virtuous man, otherwise you will have to be like his father's family house! The old princess babbled to herself.
Sanniang and the others listened on the sidelines and did not speak.
"I'll let Mama Zhang go out to find out about this matter, and I'll sum it up when I come back, okay, you all go back." The old princess said to Sanniang.
Sanniang went to the warm pavilion and hugged Xuan Xiaoyi out, and the old princess was reluctant to let people go when she saw her great-grandson, so she hugged and got tired of it for a while before sending them away.
The old princess is very good, no matter how much she likes Xuan Xiaoyi, she can't bear this great-grandson, and she has never wanted to raise her great-grandson under her knees, and she has never even kept the child overnight. No matter how late it is, Xuan Xiaoyi will be sent back to Xuan Shao and Sanniang.
Mama Zhang asked her: "You like the little master so much, even if you keep him with you for a few days, the young lady and the young master will not have an opinion." β
The old princess shook her head: "This grandmother wants to keep her grandson by her side to raise her, either this grandson's biological mother can't take the responsibility of educating her children, or grandmother wants to use her children to dominate her daughter-in-law." When the child grows up, he will be closer to his grandparents. Why do I keep my little one with me? β
Seeing that Mama Zhang couldn't say anything, the old princess smiled: "I see that both Shao'er and Sanniang can take on the responsibility of educating children." As for the constraints...... I'm old, and how many years do I have to live? In order to make the younger generation bow down in front of me, I have to take my great-grandson with me and let him be alienated from his biological mother. When I die, how will the child deal with himself? At that time, his mother had younger siblings, so she was naturally closer to the children she brought up. If I did, how would I have the face to say that I truly love my children? β
Mama Zhang was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "It's the old slave who is not thoughtful, because I saw that many grandmothers in the house are doing this, so I ......"
The old princess waved her hand: "I know you are proposing this for my consideration, but which of those personal families you said is peaceful?" Primary one is my lifeline, and what I want most is not to use him to plan anything for myself, but to want him to grow up healthy and happy. Being able to grow up next to their parents is the greatest blessing for children. β
The old princess's face, which looked a little thin because of her age, flashed with a light of wisdom. This kind of wisdom is not honed by life, but the care of an elder to the bottom of his heart.
So since then, Mama Zhang will never propose to keep Xuan Xiaoyi in Shouhui Hall more because she wants the old princess to be happy.
However, Sanniang will let the nurse and the maid come over with Xuan Xiaoyi to greet the old princess every day, and when the weather is cold, she will sit in a warm sedan chair and stay for a morning or afternoon.
