Chapter 168. It's awkward and distressing
Wang Chaofu did not receive any letter from Xue Rong, and the news that Xue Rong was going to Yipinxuan tomorrow was transmitted by Xue Zhen.
Xue Zhen sent messages in many ways, sometimes to bring things to be filial to her grandmother, sometimes to send pastries from their house to her eldest cousin and a few cousins, or to let her aunt see the needlework she made, in short, there was a reason.
Naturally, every time something was there, there was a letter to him.
Now the housekeeper in the house is Mrs. Jian'anhou, his mother, naturally not happy about such a thing, every time Xue Zhen's letter arrives, she will hand it over to him in person without the help of others.
"If you have eyebrows over there, tell me quickly, I'm in a hurry to marry my daughter-in-law." When Mrs. Li saw that her youngest son took the letter, her face was still expressionless, and she couldn't help but say more.
Her son, who has been cold since he was a child, seems to have no smile at anyone, but fortunately, he is not bad in terms of rules, and he also knows that he is good to his brother, and he gets along well with other brothers and sisters in the house.
It's just one point, it's too hard to figure out what he's thinking.
Just like the previous time, it was him who told her that she could propose, but within a few days, he was the one who said that he couldn't propose for the time being.
Although she is a mother, she really doesn't dare to rush this son.
Of course, it's more about not wanting to rush.
No matter how cold Wang Chaofu is to people, he is his son, or the son who carries the hope of the rest of her life.
"I know." Wang Chaofu listened to Mrs. Li's words and simply responded.
"If you know, it's good." Mrs. Lee sighed. "The biggest heart disease in my life is your eldest brother, if he becomes a relative, my heart will fall to the ground. I have never worried about your family affairs, the cousin of your Huo family I told you last time, if you don't want to, I won't force you. However, at that time, I thought that the Huo family was the old lady's maiden family and knew the roots. In fact, with our Jian'an Hou Mansion, what kind of girl can't be found, not to mention that my son is still so young and promising, and he is still the son of Jian'an Hou Mansion. ”
Mrs. Li said, the smile on her face became more and more wide.
That's how to look at Wang Chaofu, I feel that it's not pleasing to the eye.
People say that Wang Muci in the second room is good-looking, but she still thinks that her son is the best-looking.
Wang Chaofu smiled.
"If my mother has nothing else to do, I'll go see my grandmother."
"Go, the old lady will have to repeat it several times a day when she doesn't see you." Mrs. Li said with a smile.
When I was a child, Wang Lishi, Wang Muci and Wang Chaofu were all eager to grow up with their grandmother, but now that they are older, they have their own affairs, except for Wang Lishi, even Wang Xige sometimes can't go to the old lady's side on time.
Wang Chaofu is a person around the emperor, so he doesn't know when to go out, when to come back, and sometimes he will go out of Beijing, so it is even more difficult to get the old lady to go with him.
Wang Chaofu came out of Mrs. Li's side and went to Mrs. Huo's side.
It was not very early, and although Mrs. Huo was not sleeping, she was crooked on the kang, closing her eyes, closing her eyes and recuperating.
The little girl walked in quietly, and saw that Qiuxia was beating the old lady's legs, the old lady closed her eyes, and she didn't know if she was asleep, so she didn't dare to say anything for a while.
Qiu Xia didn't speak, but the strength of her hands was lighter.
"If you have anything to say, say it!" Old Madam Huo slowly opened her eyes.
"The third prince came to greet the old lady and was waiting outside." The little girl replied.
"This kid, every time I tell him, just come in, just don't listen." Old Madam Huo suddenly became energetic, sat up with Qiuxia's hand, and said angrily to the little girl. "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you invite the third prince to come in, you don't have to reply next time, no matter what time it is, as long as the third prince comes, let him come in directly."
"Yes." The little girl agreed and withdrew.
Qiu Xia smiled at Old Madam Huo.
"The old lady's words, our ears are almost hearing the cocoon, but the third son refuses, and the little girls can't help it."
Since the third prince arrived at the emperor's side, the old lady almost saw the heavens and instructed them.
"Alas!" Old Madam Huo sighed lightly. "This kid is good at everything, and he is sincere to people, and he is also really filial to me and the other elders in the house, but his face is cold, making people feel as if they are separated by a layer."
"Whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't treat you coldly to the old lady, it's fine." Qiu Xia smiled. "Even if he refuses to come in directly, he is afraid of disturbing your old man's rest, and he is also filial from the bottom of his heart."
"Just your mouth will say." Old Madam Huo glanced at Qiuxia, but couldn't help but want to laugh. The children are all busy in their own ways, and the girls around her have also changed batch after batch, and the most hearty thing for her is this Qiuxia.
Because of this, she was supposed to have four big girls, but she really used this one. The other three, with the example of the big girl, can take care of other things in this yard and the little girls, and occasionally let Qiuxia rest at night, just do it.
As soon as Mrs. Huo's words fell, Wang Chaofu strode in.
"I thought the old lady was asleep, so I didn't dare to break in directly, for fear of shocking the old lady's dream." Wang Chaofu laughed as he walked.
Old Madam Huo was in a trance.
Despite her age, she never believed it was her delusion.
How did she think that her grandson's smile today was a little more real than usual!
He used to laugh too, especially when he came to her. She also heard the people in the house talk about it, saying that the third prince is colder when he laughs than when he doesn't, but it's okay for her, it's not very cold, but it's not very hot either, and it can't be said to be a pretended smile, just looking at it, she feels that it is different from other people's laughter.
It's not reluctant, but it's not entirely heartfelt.
Old Madam Huo can't say what's going on with that smile, anyway, since he was a child, this kid is like this, but he is used to it.
Even, compared to Wang Muci, who is smiling all day long, Mrs. Huo still loves Wang Chaofu more, and always feels that even if this child is awkward, it is also awkward and distressing.
"Even if I'm old, I'm not so useless, and it's still early to go to bed!" Old Madam Huo deliberately made a tiger face, but there was a smile in her voice, and after a while, her face couldn't hold back, and it was full of loving smiles. "You've just come back? Have you eaten? Did you go to your mother's side? ”
"I ate it in the palace, and I've been there too." Wang Chaofu replied, took out a paper bag from his arms, handed it to the old lady, and whispered. "This is the sesame roll I stole from the emperor, your old man is quiet, don't let others see it."
Old Madam Huo couldn't help but laugh out loud, and pointed her finger at Wang Chaofu's head.
"Let's say that you are cold all day long, you are often funny, and I don't want to hurt you in my heart, I can't do it."
