"Your grandfather said that your grandmother is fasting these days, so I told you not to bother her old man with these things." Xu's voice sounded again, quiet and gentle, and the eyes that looked at Chen Ying were also very kind.

Mrs. Xu has to eat half a month of fasting in April and October every year, during which she is not only exempted from all provinces, but she herself will also live in the Buddhist hall, do not ask about external objects, and quietly copy the scriptures. And usually at this time, the people in the house will not disturb the peace of her old man's house, unless something big happens.

Grandpa Guo deliberately pointed out this, presumably he himself knew that Old Madam Xu would not agree to this, so he came to cover his ears and steal the bell.

Chen Ying couldn't cry or laugh even more.

Why is this grandfather's style so childish?

After hesitating for half a second, Chen Ying nodded: "Okay, niece understands." ”

Xu Shi was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect her to refute.

After being stunned for a moment, she put on a gentle smile and said in a harmonious voice, "What a good boy." At first, my aunt was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so she thought, if you really can't do it, she will take you to meet your grandfather and let you talk to him personally. ”

"No need. I know what my grandfather meant. Chen Ying shook her head at Xu.

Before achieving her goal, she didn't want to confront Grandpa Guo in advance.

As for the purpose behind Xu's proposal, Chen Ying really didn't bother to think about it.

Xu's smiling eyes flickered, Fu nodded quickly, and said with a light smile: "That's good." Since you have answered, my aunt's words have also been heard. ”

Chen Ying took a sip of tea, uncommittal.

Xu didn't expect Chen Ying to agree so happily, Xu was a little short of words for a while, and always felt uncomfortable saying anything in front of this niece with a strange smile.

So, it was quiet again.

After slowly taking two sips of tea, seeing that the hour was almost up, Chen Ying stood up and said, "Auntie forgive me, my niece is going back first." Mother hadn't slept well last night, and my niece wanted to go and see her. ”

"Yo, you didn't say it sooner." Xu hurriedly put down the teacup, got up and said, "This is the eldest aunt's, I have been delaying you for so long." ”

This was said politely, and Chen Ying also replied with standard politeness: "Where the eldest aunt says, the niece doesn't dare to be." ”

A layer of concern welled up on Xu's face, and he asked Chen Ying, "Is your mother suffering from ringworm again?" ”

"No, Aunt Xie is worried." Chen Ying said as slowly as she could: "Mother just didn't sleep well, and she wasn't sick. ”

Only then did Xu Shi smile again, and said in a harmonious voice: "In this case, then you can go quickly, if there is anything, remember to ask someone to pass on a word to Shui Jianxuan." ”

Chen Yingzi thanked him again, and then Xu personally sent him off and left Shui Jianxuan.

Turning the flower courtyard and winding the corridor, until she stepped on a narrow road behind the courtyard, Luo's mother asked softly: "Do you want to go to the room?" ”

Xu solemnly called Chen Ying over to speak, and there must be something wrong. Even though I don't know what the specific thing is, Luo's mother is old and bad, and she has her own way of seeing things. She expected that today's matter would not be easy to handle, so she thought that Chen Ying was going to ask the old lady Xu for instructions.

There have always been many smart people in this house, and once people are smart, they will inevitably think they are smart, or they will be too selfish. Fortunately, there is still Old Madam Xu in the town, so these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods can't make trouble. According to Luo's mother's meaning, Chen Ying only had to tell Mrs. Xu about the matter, and it was over.

When Chen Ying heard this, he waved his hand indifferently: "Go back directly." Grandmother is in retreat, so I will take out these little things if they are not good. ”

Mother Luo was the only one who looked at Chen Ying's horse, so she stopped talking, and the three of them returned to Mingfeng Pavilion.

The Li family is actually very well, but she is just worried about Chen Ying, who is standing at the gate of the courtyard to face the wind at this time, and when she sees her daughter coming back, she is also relieved, and she is pulled back to the house, and asks about the situation in the palace.

Chen Ying didn't want those miscellaneous things to disturb her, so she only picked something to say, and inevitably mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in her words.

When she finished speaking, Li asked softly, "You see His Royal Highness the Prince?" Is Your Highness really as heavenly as the rumors say? ”

Chen Ying said: "Mother is really right, the rumors are not exaggerated at all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very dazzling, he is a real beautiful man, his demeanor is also excellent, he is very generous, and he has the demeanor of a prince of a country." ”

She said this purely to please the Lee family.

As a woman, there is no one who doesn't like to hear this, and Chen Ying is also full of thought that the Li family will ask her some details, and even the Li family is ready to bring the topic to her marriage.

However, Lee's reaction was a bit strange.

I saw that her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her expression became a little gloomy, and her eyes stopped on the Hunan curtain in front of the door for a long time, and her face was melancholy, as if she recalled something a long time ago.

There was silence in the bright room, and after a long time, Chen Ying asked softly, "Mother, what's wrong?" Why did you suddenly stop talking? ”

Li suddenly came back to his senses, smiled in disguise, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, it's just something to remember." ”

"What did Mother think?" Chen Ying asked, quite curious in her heart.

The Li family clearly thought of something from Chen Ying's narrative, and before that, their topic was only His Royal Highness the Prince, that is, Li's association was inevitably related to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Li Shi turned his eyes to look at her, and suddenly sighed, and said in a very low voice: "Speaking of which, your father was ...... back then He was a prince attendant for a while. ”

Chen Ying's eyes widened in surprise.

She had never heard Lee talk about it. No, it should be said that no one in the Guogong Mansion mentioned this stubble.

This is not something to be seen, why is no one mentioning it?

As if he knew what Chen Ying was thinking, Li smiled bitterly and continued: "Your father was young at that time, and his temperament was a little bigger, and he only stayed in the prince's mansion for two months before coming out. Later, when your father was drunk, he told me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was 'a man of jade and a great intellect, and though he was young, he was already quite benevolent.' ”

Chen Ying didn't speak, but she groaned secretly in her heart.

It turned out that Chen Shao still had such an opportunity back then, but for some reason, he didn't continue on this road.

Thinking like this, Chen Ying felt a little emotional, and said, "It turns out that my father was also a teacher of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Shi hurriedly corrected her and said, "Where can you be called a teacher?" I just went over occasionally to explain a few words in the book to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
