"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant and sit down." The old man gave an order, and several people had no objections.

Sitting together, the pothos was in a trance for a moment, as if she was in the whirlpool of Kyoto again, but fortunately, the familiar breath of Duanmu Xiu beside her reminded her that she was no longer the same.

"You're welcome, sit down! You are the saviors of the Xiao family! The old man's smile was completely different from the feeling of being on top at the beginning.

However, seeing Xiao Xiao, who secretly made a face with Duanmu Xiu, Lu Luo felt that this child was still a child.

In line with the principle that if you say too much, you must lose, pothos feels that it is better to drink tea honestly.

"Your name is Duanmu Xiu, right?"

Duanmuxiu nodded, and Mrs. Xiao touched his beard: "Okay, good, gentleman Duanfang, Muxiu is in the forest!" How old is this year? What books have you read? ”

Duanmu Xiu arched his hand and replied respectfully: "The kid was admitted to Xiucai the year before last, but he was sick and recuperated at home last year, and he never entered the school, and now he is still studying by himself." ”

The old man nodded as he listened, although he was more curious about some things, he was still very cultivated and did not interrupt Duanmu Xiu's answer.

As he was talking, Xiao Er shouted and served.

"Haha, okay, let's eat first, let's talk after eating." When the old man spoke, everyone did not dare to object.

The door of the study pays attention to food and does not say anything, so this meal is extraordinarily quiet. The old man observed that although Duanmuxiu was a child from the village, he was quite gentle at eating.

His eyes swept to the pothos, and the old man couldn't help but take a serious look at it. Although this woman seems to be dressed simply, her simple garment exudes an elegant atmosphere of Kyoto's ladies.

That's interesting. The old man smiled, he originally wanted to thank the benefactor who saved his grandson, but now he found these two people very interesting.

Rao is old man has been in the Kyoto Imperial Palace for most of his life, and he still finds that he can't see through the two people in front of him.

They seem to be ordinary people, but this temperament is like a child from a big family. Perhaps, I will have unexpected gains on this trip.

"Grandpa, Uncle Duanmu is very powerful, he knows what you taught me." Xiao Xiao saw that everyone didn't speak, for fear that her grandfather wouldn't like Duanmuxiu, so she began to say good things for him.

"Xiaoxiao likes this uncle so much? More than those uncles before you? The old man laughed and teased him, and when he saw the lively child, the old man's heart was put in his stomach.

Xiao Xiao's smile rose: "That's for sure, Uncle Duanmu is much more powerful than all of them, and Uncle Duanmu can also do martial arts, my favorite is Uncle Duanmu." ”

When Duanmu Xiu heard this, he habitually put his hand on the top of Xiao Xiao's head and patted it, the old man's eyes narrowed, and he remembered that his grandson didn't like others touching his head the most.

This child has only been away for more than ten days, why has his temperament changed so much?

After eating, he pushed away the silver ticket handed over by the old man, said goodbye to Xiao Xiao, and the two of them went back to the village.

The old man was not in a hurry to leave, and bought a house in the county seat that afternoon.

"Grandpa, are we really going to stay here for a while?" Xiao Xiao was so happy to fly, she was going to accompany her grandfather out to see, and it had been half a year since she stopped and walked, if she hadn't been kidnapped by a kidnapper for fun, she would have to go back to Kyoto.

"What, don't want to go back?"

"I don't want to, Kyoto is not good, it's better to Duanmu's family."

The old man sat down to make a pot of tea and patted the seat next to him: "Child, come and sit down, and talk to grandpa about your Uncle Duanmu." ”

The grandfather and grandson chatted and chatted unconsciously, and the old housekeeper had already arranged his group properly, and the house was cleaned up.

"That's what Duanmu Xiu really taught you?" The old man asked curiously.

Xiao Xiao nodded, obviously not liking her uncle.

The old man nodded, according to his grandson's account, he could hear that Duanmuxiu was an excellent young man, which made him start to have some other opinions in his heart.

"Do you want to stay here?"

"Grandpa, can I? Didn't you say we're going to Kyoto? ”

The old man figured out some things, and he seemed in a good mood: "Don't worry, anyway, grandpa has already stepped down, let's live here!" Tomorrow, will you take your grandfather to visit Duanmu's house? ”

Xiao Xiao nodded, and was led back to the room by the old housekeeper to wash and change clothes.

Taking off the short jacket that Duanmu's family bought for him and putting on the brocade jacket brought by the family, Xiao Xiao suddenly became a little unaccustomed.

But after all, it was a child taught by the old lady, and no matter how uncomfortable it was, it couldn't be seen on the face.

At night, the old lady was reading in the room, and the old housekeeper came to urge him several times: "Master, you have bad eyes, and you still read at night, you can't read as much as you want during the day, sleep!" ”

"Lao Xiao, you say, how about saving Xiaoxiao's child?"

The old housekeeper helped the old man put away the things on the desk: "Haven't you already made a decision?" Anyway, I think this kid is related to our Xiao family, and he's also a good kid, right......"

The old man had already taken off his shoes and lay on the bed, and scolded with a smile: "Old guy, you still sell it to me, say, what?" ”

"That's right, this Duanmu lady is a little weird, although she doesn't talk much, but I think she is very familiar, like ...... Like? ”

"It's like a girl in Kyoto, isn't it?"

The old butler nodded, that's how strange it is, he had already arranged for someone to inquire in the afternoon, both of them were natives, and this weirdness always lingered.

"You've checked it out, and there's no problem?"

"Don't worry, sir, they are all children of good families. It's this child's marriage......"

At night, everything was quiet, Xiao Xiao had insomnia for the first time, without the familiar bed, he always felt empty in his heart, but when he thought that he would have to go back tomorrow, he felt a lot better.

The next day, Duanmu's family was turning over the ground in the vegetable garden in front of the door, and the old man and his party came over.

"Grandma Duanmu, I'm back!"

"Oh, Xiao Xiao, it's good to come back, grandma will make you something to eat at noon." As he was talking, he saw the noble old man coming down from the carriage behind, and Duanmu was a little restrained.

Fortunately, Luluo and Duanmu Xiu came out, so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.

"What? You want to take me as a disciple? Duanmu Xiu was a little stunned, this was something he had never thought about, after all, he was a Taifu, how could he be virtuous?

"Why, you don't want to? Is there a teacher? The old man smiled lovingly.

"No, no, it's me, I'm afraid of disappointing your expectations, old man." Duanmuxiu said very sincerely.

"If you don't want to live up to my expectations, then study hard!"
