Although he thought so in his heart, Xie Tuan was still slowly tempting, hoping to make Xie Gui confide in him and find a path that suited him, so as not to be boring in the future.

Xie Gui was relieved to see that although the second grandfather was serious, he did not dislike himself in the slightest.

"Do you want to pursue literature, martial arts, business, or something else in the future?"

Xie Gui said in frustration, "I don't know, I'm stupid, not as smart as my sister, and I have no power to do anything." ”

"There is no limit to talent, you and Yu'er are just different from what they are good at, as long as people have what they want to do, do it with great strength, there will always be results, don't worry, even if it is your aunt, she has been practicing the sword for more than ten years, and she has only emerged, people can't be arrogant." ”

"I don't know what I want to do, second grandfather, what do you say can make yourself strong?"

"Oh, why are you so strong?"

"Only in this way can I protect my father and sister, so that I will not become a burden to others. ”

Xie Tuan was relieved, "If you want to become stronger, you must first have an invincible heart, and then you can influence external objects." From the text, you can shake the world with one stroke, learn martial arts, you can deter Xiaoxiao, engage in business, you can attack and defend with money, every road can lead to strength, just see if you have determination. ”

"But I still can't make a choice. ”

Xie Tuan said gently, "Don't rush, take your time." ”

Xie Gui was full of doubts, and when he looked up and saw the trust and encouragement in Xie Tuan's eyes, he suddenly had a little confidence.

"When the Five Nations Conference is over, you and your sister will go back to Suyue with us, and let your grandfather and grandfather meet you?"

Xie Gui thought for a while, "Okay, what should I do with my father." ”

I really want to get to know my legendary grandfather and grandfather.

"I'll tell him yes. ”

Sister Yan took the impatient Li family, walked around all morning, found a restaurant, had lunch, and then pulled her to a tea house to sit, the location is good, the street is by the window, but Li is full of anxiety, and it is not good to be too out of shape in front of the younger generation, no matter how good the scenery, there is no intention to watch.

"Second aunt, don't worry, Lin Zi has to personally take someone to buy once every three days, today is the day when she comes out to buy, and after the afternoon, she will inevitably come to the shop opposite to buy things, you can wait for a while." ”

"You kid, don't say it earlier, come out early in the morning, and hang out until now, you told me, it's really not good. ”

"It's not that I look at the seventh brother pitifully, if I don't pull you out, he won't be able to go to the yamen. ”

"Am I so unreasonable? You just protect your brother all day long, and you learn from him. ”

Sister Yan smiled, "Whoever is good to me, I will protect him." ”

"You all know people's whereabouts so well, don't scare other girls. ”

"No, we just sent someone to protect it secretly, compared to Lin Yuan and Brother Qi doing things together, it is easy to be targeted, if it weren't for the second aunt, where would I ask her whereabouts, when Brother Qi thought I was staring at Lin Zi, and was going to talk about me again. ”

"Stinky boy, he dares, if he has a daughter-in-law, he will bully his sister, I don't agree. ”

While chatting, a well-dressed woman approached, and the sister didn't know her very well, so she didn't want to deal with it, but she came to the side.

The woman walked to the front of her sister, and when she saw Li's side face, she suddenly looked surprised, "Third sister, is it you? When did you return to Beijing?" ”

His eyes kept not leaving the shop on the opposite street, and then he turned around, and he didn't recognize who it was for a while, "You are?"

When the lady saw Li's face, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, it turned out that Li was already in her forties, and she was about to become a grandmother, and now she looked at a beautiful woman in her thirties, and her face was still carefree.

Although the woman was wearing gold and silver, she was obviously old, and she couldn't help but squeeze out a smile when she was unhappy, "Third sister, I'm Xueqin." ”

Li thought about it carefully, and then remembered that this was her maiden cousin, but she didn't expect that she had become like this after ten years of not seeing her.

"It's Sister Qin, please sit down. ”

The woman was not polite, Shi Shiran sat down, his eyes swept over his sister's face, his eyes were envious, and he asked, "Who is this?"

"This is my niece, the daughter of the fourth master of the Xie family, sister Yan. ”

"It turns out that this is the famous sister Yan, since the sister Yan returned to Beijing, she has done a lot of great things, our relatives who can't beat the eight poles, and don't have the face to move around, when I see it today, it is really an unusual character. ”

Relatives who haven't seen each other for many years, they don't have much relationship, they are too enthusiastic, which makes people a little unbearable, the Li family is not as sincere as in front of the Xie family, but with a smile on his face, he said politely, "Yes, Sister Yan is indeed a good child." ”

The man didn't feel embarrassed, but asked, "The third sister has been away from Beijing for many years and has little contact with this side, why did she suddenly return to Beijing this time?" ”

"It's just a temporary idea, Ling'er is in Beijing, the second master and I miss him, and we are free, so we simply came without telling in advance. ”

The man hurriedly put on a look of envy, "It's better for the second master, I am willing to accompany my sister to come back with you, you haven't come back for ten years, it is better to go back to the Li Mansion with the second master to meet your uncle and them." ”

"When I go back, I will discuss it with the second master. ”

This cousin Qin pulled Li Shi and talked for half an hour, and asked many questions on the side.

In the end, it seems that Xie Ling's idea was raised, after all, Xie Ling's appearance and talent are outstanding, and now he is His Majesty's favorite minister, which can be described as hot, and the family doesn't want him to be their own son-in-law.

Seeing that Li had been wanting to look out the window, the man thought that she didn't want to see herself, so she sat for half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.

When she left her sight, Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, regained his gentle appearance, took a sip of tea, and asked his sister Yan with a smile, "How is my shelf." ”

Sister Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Very good." ”

Li Shi looked out the window, a little distracted, "I didn't expect that the first acquaintance I met when I returned to Beijing was still related to that side." ”

The elders have only heard about the old things of the elders, and she doesn't like to inquire into other people's past, so she doesn't know much about the grievances between the Li family and her mother's family.

happened to sit for a long time and had nothing to do, and Li's heart was aroused by the woman, and he happened to talk to his sister.

"Back then, they disliked that the second master was a white dress, and he was not dazzling among the Xie family, and he did not agree to our marriage, and after marriage, he looked down on us and his wife. ”

Sister Yan raised her eyebrows, "It's not bad, the second uncle is wholeheartedly devoted to the second aunt, and he is very affectionate, just ignore these people." ”

"If it's just like this, because they are the in-laws of the Xie family, they use the Xie family to some extent, and they get a lot of undue conveniences, harmless things, everyone will turn a blind eye to it for my sake, these people are always not satisfied, and they want to use the Xie family to go to the next level. ”

"It's up to them. ”

Li continued, "Yes, people's hearts are insufficient, and later the Xie family was ready to move the family back to Su Yue, they obstructed it in every possible way, and forced me to sabotage this plan, this is a matter related to the lifeblood of the Xie family, how can I forget my kindness, I didn't expect my father to let my mother coerce me with his life, but he was unwilling to give up the big tree of the Xie family." ”

"I vaguely remember some of these things, and the people who tried to control others in vain did not end well. ”

"In order not to make me wonderful, the second master privately took 200,000 taels of silver and made a deal with the group of white-eyed wolves before he untied the knot, the second master thought I didn't know, but in fact I knew, since then, my relatives are only the Xie family. ”

Sister Yan held Li's hand, "It's not more sad than for unnecessary people, the second uncle's temperament is not 1 so calm, it was estimated that the second aunt endured it for a while, if they still want to fight the second aunt's idea, the second uncle will definitely not let them go, the seventh brother and I will also protect you, anyway, now in the capital is rumored that our brothers and sisters are lawless, dare to confront Your Majesty face to face, it is they who are unlucky at that time, the second aunt should not feel distressed." ”

Li stroked his sister's hair and said with relief, "I feel sorry for what they are doing, I feel sorry for you to spend your energy for these senseless people." ”

"Since it's a senseless person, don't care, you should take a closer look at your future daughter-in-law. ”

Li Shi turned his head to look out the window, and an ordinary carriage happened to stop outside the shop, and a familiar girl jumped down first, "Isn't this Qingying?"

"Qing Ying has a lot of skills, just enough to protect Lin Zi. ”

Then came a fair-skinned, slender girl, a strand of hair on her sideburns blown by the wind, and gently flicked it with her hand and placed it behind her ear.

Li nodded involuntarily, both in appearance and posture.

Neat and unpretentious got out of the carriage, a little more refreshing than the women in the high-door boudoir, and the two walked to the shop, a little less delicate than the eldest ladies, but down-to-earth.

Li said, "The posture is good, and the character has not yet been touched, but I believe in your vision." ”

Sister Yan said, "Then you have come all the way, and the trip has been shortened by two days." ”

Li choked for a moment, "It's not your second uncle who has to come and see it." ”

The sister smiled and said nothing.

The two sat until they saw Lin Zi go back, and Li remembered that Xie Tuan should have been waiting at home for a long time, and went to Xie Tuan's favorite dim sum shop with his sister Yan to pack a lot of Xie Tuan's favorite dim sum and bring them back.

Along the way, the two chatted about Hezhou, talking about his perseverance in tracking down the cause of his parents' deaths, and how he gave up his life and forgot to break into Zhaojiazhuang alone to avenge his parents.

On the way back, Li knew Hezhou almost, regret for his life experience, and appreciation for his character, and his affection was overflowing, if she had a daughter, she probably wanted to recruit Hezhou as a son-in-law.

Seeing Li's thoughtful appearance, Sister Yan said in her heart, Brother He, Brother He, I'm sorry for you, you have to stand up for a while, and invite you to drink in the future, guilty of sin.
