The door of the private room opened, and as soon as Yun Hanzhi and the others appeared, Xiao Tianxi immediately greeted them.

After the two sides met, Xiao Tianxi instructed the long-term entourage around him to let the guys serve tea.

Yun Hanzhi suddenly had a doubt in her heart after seeing Xiao Tianxi, and the question turned around in her mouth a few times, but she finally couldn't help but not ask.

Xiao Tianxi saw that Yun Hanzhi wanted to speak and stopped, he touched the back of his head, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Do you want to ask why I am so fat again?" ”

Yun Hanzhi nodded like pounding garlic, he hadn't seen him for a year, and Xiao Tianxi was a little fatter than when he was in Jindu before.

Xiao Tianxi thought of her beloved lady, her fat face turned red, and she said: "The main reason is that the food made by my lady is so delicious, I can't help but eat a few more bowls, and it will be like this." ”

Yi Tianyue understands what Xiao Tianxi said very well, and when he eats, he is accompanied by his wife, even if the food is not delicious, he can't help but want to eat a few more bowls.

When Yun Han heard this, he immediately expressed great interest in Xiao Tianxi's craftsmanship.

Xiao Tianxi was embarrassed and said that her mother had always only cooked for him, and he wanted to go back and ask.

Yun Hanzhi expressed her understanding, assuming that one day her embroidery skills will improve, even if outsiders like her craftsmanship to the bones, she will not necessarily make embroidery for that person.

When she thought about it this way, she no longer struggled.

"How did you know we were coming?"

"How did you get here?"

Yun Hanzhi and Xiao Tianxi asked each other in unison.

As soon as the words came out, the two looked at each other and smiled, thinking that this was probably the tacit understanding formed by Xiao Tianhai as a matchmaker at the beginning.

Xiao Tianxi motioned to Yun Hanzhi to say first.

The reason for this trip Yun Hanzhi has said it to relatives and friends many times, except that she was a little embarrassed when she first said it, and now she is not at ease when she talks about it again, she said generously: "We came to seek a doctor." ”

When Xiao Tianxi heard this, he hurriedly looked at the two of them quietly, and felt that the two of them had ruddy faces and good complexions, thinking that it was estimated that their family members were sick, so he asked, "Who is sick in the house?" ”

Yun Hanzhi waved his hand and said, "It's not family, it's us." After thinking about it for a while, she felt that it was not appropriate to say this, and said: "Actually, it is not considered a disease, I have been married to my husband for more than a year, and I have never had children. ”

Yi Tianyue didn't know the friendship between Yun Hanzhi and Xiao Tianxi, and when she saw her confessing like this, she was really uncomfortable. But he didn't show it on his face, and drank the tea brought by the guy unhurriedly.

Xiao Tianxi saw that Yun Hanzhi said so calmly, and spontaneously attributed the reason for not being able to give birth to a child on Yi Tianyue.

He originally thought that Yi Tianyue was handsome and extraordinary, and he was young and promising, he was happy for Yun Hanzhi, she married a good husband. Unexpectedly, Yi Tianyue's seemingly healthy body actually had this disease hidden, and Xiao Tianxi couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Yi Tianyue.

He secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must find someone to help Yi Tianyue cure this disease, and it would not be in vain for Yun Hanzhi to come here, nor would his friendship be in vain.

Although Xiao Tianxi looked extremely carefully, Yi Tianyue was still keenly aware of it, and he looked up inadvertently, not missing Xiao Tianxi's hurried eyes. He wondered in his heart, why did Xiao Tianxi have a trace of pity in his eyes?

Yun Hanzhi also happened to glance at Xiao Tianxi's glance, and she was also puzzled in her heart, but what she was even more puzzled about now was that they only arrived yesterday evening, how did Xiao Tianxi find out that they had come to Shudi, and they had found their residence accurately.

After listening to Yun Hanzhi's question, Xiao Tianxi replied, "I learned from Brother Tianhai this morning. ”

Yun Hanzhi was puzzled: "How did he know?" ”

Xiao Tianxi smiled slightly, and said: "You should remember what I mentioned before, Brother Tianhai was cultivated as the chief steward of the clan, and after he got married, he naturally took over the position of chief steward, and the news of all important personnel coming and going to Shu will be remitted to him, so he will know as soon as you appear." ”

"The Tianhai brother clan is too busy to come and pick you up in person, so he ordered me to come over as a guide and invite you to the Xiao family to do your best as a landlord."

Yun Hanzhi saw that Xiao Tianxi said sincerely, and thought that Xiao Tianhai and Xiao Tianxi, the two brothers, were interesting enough. Since you're here, it's not bad to check it out. However, when she was out of the house, she still had to listen to Yi Tianyue's opinion, and she raised her eyes to look at Yi Tianyue.

Yi Tianyue was guessing in his heart that the real purpose of their trip was very hidden, and it stands to reason that no more people should know about it except for the two of them.

After all, Xiao Tianhai is now the actual manager of the Xiao family in Shu, and the emperor is the nominal patriarch of the Xiao family. The news that he came to Shu is also likely to be given to Xiao Tianhai. After all, with Xiao Tianhai's help, they may act more smoothly.

He was thinking silently when he looked up and saw Yun Hanzhi's inquiring gaze.

So, Yi Tianyue threw his hand at Xiao Tianxi and said, "Thank you Brother Xiao for the invitation, then my husband and wife will be respectful and obey their fate." "The most important thing is that when he arrives at someone's territory, the other party is sincerely invited, and he has no reason to categorically refuse, so it's better to take a look.

Yun Hanzhi and the others cleaned up for a while, and then followed Xiao Tianxi to the Xiao family's ancestral house.

Entering the door is two welcome pines, the branches are like iron and copper, lush, the branches stretch out far away, and the diameter of the tree is at least half a meter.

Yun Hanzhi has heard that the welcome pine grows very slowly, and it must have been some years since it grew so tall.

Xiao Tianxi saw that Yun Hanzhi's gaze fell on the welcoming pine, and said: "This welcoming pine has been around for more than two hundred years, and it was planted by the ancestors when they moved into this house. During this period, the ancestral house was expanded and renovated several times, but the location of this welcome pine has never changed. ”

Xiao Tianxi's tone was full of pride, after all, these two welcoming pines were the witnesses of the rise of the Xiao family. How can a family not be proud that it can be inherited for more than 200 years, not only has it not decayed, but it is also at the highest point of admiration in the world. More than 200 years is enough to overturn many families in the wind and rain of time.

About the ancestors of the Xiao family, Yun Hanzhi knows a little, of course, the people of Jindu know more or less, after all, the Xiao family is the royal family.

If you want to talk about the development of the Xiao family, you can't get around one person, Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng's parents died when he was young, and his family was surrounded by walls, but he was diligent and studious, very open-minded, and entered the office with a cloth dress.

He has outstanding ability, and he is also an honest official, and has successively served as the secretary of the country, the supervision of the imperial history, and the secretary of the ministry, until he was the prime minister.

However, although the decaying dynasty has officials like him who are dedicated to the people, the number is too small to change the situation that the edifice is about to collapse.

Xiao Heng was persecuted, and in frustration, he chose to be in the most backward place in Shudi, wanting to save the villagers in the deep water and heat with his own strength.

Since then, Shu has become the base camp of the Xiao family. After several generations of operation, under the situation of time, place, and people, the Xiao family jumped to the front of the court.
