The group of people in the back waited, only feeling that something seemed to be different after the emperor returned to Xie Mansion.

All the indifference, from the moment I saw my parents, no longer existed, my sister Yan supported my grandfather, turned around and said, "I will repair in the house tonight, don't be restrained, and set off as usual tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes. ”

Hearing her say that she was going to leave at the end of the day, Mrs. Xie San had the heart to persuade her to stay for a while, "Ah Yan, it's been hard to travel for days, since you've arrived home, it's better to take a good rest, it's too early." ”

"Mother, I also want to stay longer, but now that I can go home for one night is a special case, how can I miss the trip selfishly, you don't have to worry, we are in good health, these are not tired. ”

The old lady said, "It's rare to come back, so don't worry about this." ”

After the things are placed.

Naturally, the officers and students who accompanied the action came to visit the old lady.

Taifu looked at these young people, one by one, busy with state affairs, not afraid of hard work, and very appreciative.

"Everyone has worked hard all the way, I'm old, I'm always relieved to see you, don't be polite today, eat and sleep well. ”

"Thank you, old lady. ”

Sister Yan looked at a few students and said to the old lady, "These are the students of the Guozijian, I have done martial arts training for them, and they are also my students, they took the initiative to ask to come along, hoping to accumulate experience and report to the country as soon as possible." ”

The old lady smiled and teased her first, "I didn't expect you to have a time to teach students." ”

I looked at these students again, they were already upright, they could have the heart to serve the country, and they all looked righteous and awe-inspiring, under the training of their sisters, their manners became more and more generous, and there was no sign of cowering, plus they had endured more than ten days of hardship, and their eyes became more and more determined, and they were indeed good seedlings.

"At this time, you can think of coming out of the school, it's already good, but Yan'er has a bad temper and has little patience, you follow her, you always have to suffer more, but she won't hurt you after all, as long as you are diligent, can endure hardships, and are studious, there will always be a day to get ahead, just the same, don't forget your desire when you first came out. ”

The elders always hope that these juniors can do well, the old lady is dedicated to the country, and he withdrew from the court ten years ago, but he has never forgotten the worries about the country, Xie Ling found out about those things, he now knows, and he is also the person who can best understand Xie Ling and his sister's worries.

The Xie family has guarded the Chu State for more than 300 years, and this responsibility has always been inherited in their bloodline.

Even if she doesn't seem to have a good temper and yearns for freedom, when she finds out that the Chu State is facing a crisis, she will still be patient and stay in the capital.

Zhang Ling replied, "Although the emperor doesn't talk much, words are always not as good as examples, we can learn a lot by her side, and we won't always be just a scholar who can only read." ”

The old lady smiled with relief.

Mrs. Xie said, "The wine and food have been arranged, don't stand still, let's take a seat." ”

Sister Yan said, "Forget about the wine, we don't drink all the way, we can't make mistakes." ”

The eldest lady smiled, "Okay, well, then drink more soup to warm up." ”

Sister Yan and her family sat down in the inner hall.

Looking at Xie Tuan and his wife, he felt a little guilty, so he said, "Third uncle, third aunt, I will definitely find Seventh Brother." ”

At the mention of Xie Ling, the third lady lowered her head slightly, and sadness welled up in her heart, Yan'er's return today is indeed a happy day, but there is still a child, he may never come back.

On the same day, Xie Yun's family wrote a letter to report the funeral, and Sister Yan thought that Xie Ling's bones were not found, and there might be a possibility of being alive, so Xie Yun changed his statement, although Xie Yun's family also received the news from Shang Guo, but obviously thought that Sister Yan and Xie Yun's news was more reliable, and still thought that they were in distress and missing, not that they could not come back alive as written in the secret letter.

Xie Tuan couldn't help but feel sad, and persuaded his sister Yan, "I know that you have been looking for them, we believe in him, it won't happen like this, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself too much." ”

The third lady also said, "You are all in the same danger no matter where you are, since you have taken on the burden of the emperor, I don't know how many times you have been assassinated, you are all good children, I have treated you as my daughter since I was a child, and naturally I will not blame you, how difficult and dangerous this road is, there is a lesson from your seventh brother, you must be more careful." ”

Everyone knows that Xiao Jiu is cold-faced and hot-hearted, and this time Xie Ling has an accident, she will blame herself to some extent.

Uncle Xie said, "You do things for the court, with your own sense of responsibility, he is for his own ideals and responsibilities, so he went without hesitation, even if something happens, it is his own choice, this should be the same as you, but he had an accident first, at this time, you can't doubt yourself, because they are not there, and you have to shoulder those responsibilities." ”

Sister Yan said, "Uncle, I know all about it, but I have also participated in their decision to go to Shangguo, and if I stop them, maybe it won't be like this." ”

Uncle Xie said, "If that's the case, you're not Sister Xie anymore." ”

Sister Yan was a little helpless.

The eldest lady hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, we have made you a specialty dish today, try it quickly." ”

Xie Wulang dared to interject, "Yes, we don't have such a good treatment, Xiao Jiu try it first." ”

Sister Yan said, "I'm a junior, how can I move first and listen to grandpa." ”

The old lady Fu Le said, "Then don't look at it, eat it." ”

Although the Xie family is a big family, the family is harmonious, and they don't care too much about what they eat, but they care more about maintaining family affection.

Several aunts are even more cute, and I have to tell my sister who has the best craftsmanship, and my sister is also very helpless.

The fourth lady didn't say much, but the sweet and sour fish closest to her sister Yan was made by herself, and the aunts tacitly didn't rob her of this good position.

Sister Yan also eats a lot of face.

and the second brother spent a boring year in Beijing, and now that they are reunited with their families, they feel that as long as their relatives are together, they are happier than any festival.

After eating, rinsing and cleaning hands, the family sat together and talked.

These days, those who are in a hurry, eating and sleeping in the open, and those who accompany them have indeed suffered.

The Xie family is thoughtfully prepared, the dishes are enough for each plate, and the Xie family is hospitable, without the pride of the family, which makes people very comfortable.

Everyone is full, they are guests, and they can't let people eat and stay in the guest room and don't come out, Xie Shilang Golang Hachiro, take everyone to visit the house.

Zhang Ling has been to the old house of the Xie family in Beijing, in contrast, Su Yue's old house is mainly comfortable and elegant, less majestic, but full of fireworks.

The old mansion in the capital, although it is also one in ten thousand, but it is more noble and solemn, and the Xie Ling brothers and sisters live there, and it always feels empty.

The three sons of the Xie family are dignified in appearance, talk well, and each has its own outstanding features, and it is really rare for a big family to not have an incompetent and mediocre generation.

I heard that Xie Jiashiro became a gentleman in the academy, and Goro likes to collect local customs, especially food, so he has written a few interesting chronicles of scenery, and as for Hachiro, he is curious.

The Xie family never seems to prevent the juniors from having different preferences.

The elders are always happy when they look at the children.

After the meal, Sister Yan chatted with everyone, and all the attention of the elders was given to her, but Grandpa just watched happily, and Xie Yuan and his wife also tried their best to get closer to Sister Yan.

In such a home, Sister Yan will never be indifferent.

It's late at night, everyone should disperse, Sister Yan said, "Grandpa, uncle, in fact, I have one more thing, I hope our family will never get involved in this mess again, eldest brother, second brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, I think it's enough, and even Sister Qingyue, Yu'er, our family has done enough, elders, and brothers, don't take any more risks for the choice of a few of us." ”

The smile on the face of the Xie family was closed, but he was not angry, but he just said, "Some things will not always be controlled, and we didn't want the juniors to be like us again, deep in the quagmire, but didn't you finally make the choice you have now, no matter what decision you make, you have your own considerations, you don't want to see your relatives uncomfortable, but our Xie family, there are a few people who can watch the people suffer, watch the family members struggle to support it, you want to be alone It is your decision, but you can't decide for everyone." ”

Sister Yan raised her eyes and looked at everyone, and found that everyone said that they agreed, yes, they should have understood their own family, but they were selfish.

The second uncle, who has never said much, said, "Nine girls, we are a family that can bear everything together, and our Xie family also has enough strength to support these pressures, don't be too stubborn, you must know that each of us wants to protect you." ”

The fourth lady held her sister's hand on the side, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Sister Yan smiled, "It seems that I have been too depressed recently, and I have forgotten how willful I am, uncle, you must favor me in the future, and you are not allowed to change." ”

Everyone saw her coquettish, and they laughed with satisfaction.

"It's getting late, don't accompany me, I'll play two games of chess with my grandfather. ”

"Xiao Jiu is still eccentric, so he likes to accompany his grandfather. ”

Grandpa said arrogantly, "What's the matter, I'm old, can't Xiao Jiu accompany me more." ”

"Okay, why not. ”

The fourth lady told her several times that her sister must sleep, and she was not allowed to play chess with her grandfather all night.

Sister Yan sent them away, and helped grandpa to the study.

When the two were together, the grandfather's chatterbox opened.

When people get old, they always talk more, and they are always afraid that they will not have the opportunity to say more.

The old lady's chess skills were already among the best ten years ago, but now his mentality has changed, and his chess skills have become more and more advanced, but his sister Yan has always been his opponent, and Xie Ling is not as good as his sister in this regard.

The two used to always play for one or two days at a time, and once they played for seven days, just to break a game.
