The old grandfather gently stroked Xue Mingcan's hair, there seemed to be some tears in his eyes, crystal clear, and his eyes were much softer and more loving.

"Last year, the emperor sent me to the governor of the nine provinces, and the news that you were received from Yanjing was written to me by Lin Xian. When I came back a few days ago, I hurried to see you and your brother. ”

"Their brother and sister are fortunate to be remembered by Grandpa Guo." Lin Xian said.

Zhen Guogong glanced at him, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "It's not easy for you." ”

What he knows about Lin Xian is indeed not easy. In order to get ahead, in order to get close to the imperial power, he studied hard. Now he has earned a bright future, but he has already gotten rid of his former youthfulness and become calm and serious.

Lin Xian is worried about the children left behind by his aunt in the south, and he has been trying to find a way to take them to his side all these years. In the letter he wrote to him, he mentioned that it was because the old lady of the Lin Mansion was seriously ill last year and invited the Taoist priest to see her, so he bribed the Taoist priest with money and silver, saying that Yi'er's two children could bring her blessings.

The old lady of the Lin family hurriedly agreed to take the two children back to the Bofu to raise.

"Yi'er was smart and smart, and well-behaved and sensible, I loved her more than Jing'er, but it's a pity that she ......married far away later," Zhen Guogong stopped when he said this, and let out a long sigh.

Xue Mingcan knew that the Yi'er in his mouth was her mother Lin Yi, but: "Who is this Jing'er?" ”

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Lin Xian was caught off guard and covered his mouth: "Cancan, don't be rude, that's the eldest daughter of the grandfather of the country, the first princess." ”

Mingcan was uncomfortable covered by him, broke his hand away, and said, "First crown princess? Is it the mother of the Lingxian County Lord? ”

"yes." Zhen Guogong's eyes were full of steam, "She has also been gone for more than ten years." ”

The atmosphere in the wing room was a little solemn for a while, and it couldn't help but fall silent, but Zhong Fu broke it with a smile: "Grandfather, are you going to drink some wine or just tea for a while?" ”

Zhenguo Gong was reminded by his granddaughter, and cheered up, today he is the east, and he is going to make up for the reception banquet that is a year late.

"You children are here, so you won't drink today. How about two cups of milk tea? Zhen Guogong kindly touched Xue Mingcan's little head.

Who knew that as soon as the little girl heard "milk tea", the smile on her little face faded a little.

"What, don't you like to drink?" Zhen Guogong asked.

"Grandpa Guo, you don't have to worry about her, she has always been very picky." Lin Xian said busily.

"Haha, it seems that I don't like to drink milk tea, so change it to mulberry dew." Zhen Guogong said, "I think of the girl born by Ying'er and doesn't like to drink milk." ”

Zhong Fu couldn't help but smile when he heard his grandfather call him Pu Yue. It is said that she and Li Puyue are still cousins, but they are not very close. Pu Yue is raised in the palace, very arrogant, the emperor and the queen mother regard it as a treasure, and the only one who dares to accuse Pu Yue in the world is the stern grandfather.

"I heard that girl is seriously ill, how is she now?" Zhen Guogong asked his granddaughter.

Zhong Fu shook his head, "Grandfather, you know that I don't enter the palace much, and her news is just an occasional mention from the nobles. However, the disease seems to be very serious, and even the marriage date has been postponed. ”

Zhen Guogong lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and the delicacies were served on the table one after another, so he stopped mentioning his granddaughter and began to ask what Mingyu was reading and to what extent.

Xue Mingyu replied politely and orderly, in a clear manner, and the head was the way, Zhen Guogong was obviously very satisfied, and kept nodding, and finally praised Lin Xian for teaching well.

"The junior has a reluctant request." Lin Xian took the opportunity to bring it up, "The prince is now the lecturer of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, I don't know if I can have the opportunity to ask the prince to teach Mingyu?" ”

The prince is Zhong Cheng, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and now he is a lecturer for the six princes. Although the East Palace was not established, Emperor Jingren paid attention to the six princes, and the civil and military generals all knew it.

Please give a lecture to those who give lectures to the prince, and if you let those with ill intentions listen to it, I am afraid that you will slander those who have the intention of rebellion and rebellion.

But...... Zhen Guogong looked at Xue Mingyu intently, the twelve-year-old boy had beautiful eyebrows, but he was a little thin, and he was wearing a half-old stone blue round-necked robe, which showed the wealth of a clear breeze and elegant moon.

He is not only Zhilan Yushu, but also ...... The only person in the world who knows the true identity of Xue Mingyu's brother and sister is Lin Xian, that is, him. There is a long way to go, if he doesn't help them, who else will take action?

"Naturally, you can. I'll talk to Zhong Cheng when I go back. Zhen Guogong's eyes were firm, and he said in a resolute tone.

"If the son of the world is unwilling, there is no need to force it." Lin Xian was grateful.

"Nope." Zhenguo raised his hand, "He must agree, because, I also want him to accept Mingyu as his righteous son!" ”

"This ......" Several people in the room were surprised, and Mingcan almost choked on a mouthful of glutinous rice rolls.

This old man is really strange, in addition to Lin Xianzhao, the two of them are not even their own maternal grandfather and grandmother who will not ask a word, but they can be cared for by this strange grandfather.

"I've made up my mind, and I can't change it." Zhen Guogong finished speaking with a serious face, and the next moment he returned to his amiable face, sandwiched a lion's head into Xue Mingyu's bowl, and gave another one to Xue Mingcan, "As for Cancan, they also want to be together." ”

Xue Mingcan swallowed his saliva, and was still sorting out his thoughts, when he saw Lin Xian standing up and making a big salute, with a grateful look, "Grandpa Guo is very gracious, and the younger generation can't repay it!" ”

Immediately after Xue Mingyu also stood up to thank him, Lin Xian saw Mingcan, who was still a little stunned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you still stunned about?" ”

Mingcan completely understood this time, this Zhenguo Gong was really not joking, she took a cup of muxi dew, and said sweetly: "Mingcan wishes my grandfather good health and good fortune." ”

The little girl's words made the old man very happy, and Zhen Guogong even took out a handful of begonia golden barley from his sleeve and distributed it to the two children.

"Wait for the day when the genealogy is recorded, and then prepare for the gift."

Although Zhong Fu didn't know what his grandfather's intentions were, when he saw that his grandfather rarely had such a happy time, he didn't doubt it, called Mingyu "brother", and called Mingcan "sister", and took off the white jade inlaid red coral beads hanging on his neck and gave it to Mingcan.

"Thank you, Sister Fu."

Zhong Fu looked at this little sister with red lips and white teeth, tender as a spring flower, and felt pity in his heart. She had heard other ladies talk about her before, all of them were derogatory, and today her grandfather asked her to meet with her, and she heard that the people who came were the brothers and sisters of the Xue family, and there was originally a little rejection.

I don't want the younger brother of the Xue family to be polite, noble and elegant, and the little sister is even more cute and generous, not at all the lowly and humble appearance described in their mouths.

Xue Mingcan also wanted to return the favor, but she was still young and should not use too luxurious jewelry, and the hairpin on her head was only two beaded flowers.

"Sister Fu, I don't have any expensive gifts to give, only this box of Tang Palace Butterfly Powder, which I made myself, if you like this fragrance, take it and use it."

Zhong Fu took the powder box, opened a corner and sniffed it carefully, it really smelled good, and it was different from the incense powder sold by Hua Han, and even better than Hangzhou powder, but this smell seemed to be smelled somewhere. She smiled softly and tucked it into her sleeve.

After dinner, Lin Xian asked the coachman to send Mingyu and Mingcan back to the Lin Mansion, and he followed Zhen Guogong to the Guogong Mansion to talk about things.

He and Zhen Guogong each took a soft sedan chair, and Zhong Fu sat in the incense car behind. The fifteen-year-old girl gently lifted the corner of the silk curtain, and when she saw a green sedan chair not far in front of her, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she beat the drum inexplicably.

"Girl, why is your face red?" The little maid next to her asked, thinking that the young lady was sick.

Zhong Fu hurriedly put down the curtain, put a pair of jade hands on his face, and found that it was really hot, so he hurriedly defended: "Where is it red, it's just that I drank two cups of hot tea just now, and my body is a little hot, just a cool breeze." ”

The maid froze her mouth, feeling a little strange in her heart, the young lady is used to being gentle and gentle, why did she just ask a sentence today, as if she was angry, and said a lot.

The sedan chair in front of it traveled faster, and the people on the sedan chair got off the sedan chair in front of the vermilion lacquer gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Zhong Fu's incense car was one step later and stopped at the east corner gate.

The distance between the two doors was not far away, Zhong Fu hurriedly got out of the car, and wanted to look at him again, originally thought that he had already entered, but as soon as he stood firmly, he saw a handsome man standing in front of the stone steps, and saluted him from a distance.

The hour was late, the twilight was rising, and the two glass sheep's horn lamps illuminated in front of the gate swayed slightly in the evening breeze, flickering brightly and dimly reflecting the man's abundance and handsomeness, just like this in the spring breeze intoxicating night, imprinted into the heart of a fifteen-year-old girl.

Zhong Fu's heart was so chaotic without warning, she was stunned in place, or the little maid poked her elbow and reminded her to return the salute, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly bowed her head and blessed it.

When he looked up again, there was no one to be seen, only a corner of the robe appeared outside the door.

Lin Xian followed Zhen Guogong to the study in the front yard and sat down. The little maid came up to serve tea, and lit incense, shining out the countless ancient books and rosewood tables and chairs in the house, and the atmosphere was calm for a while.

The two sat on the rosewood armchair and drank tea, serving Yunnan Pu'er, astringently waiting for the sweetness, Lin Xian suddenly remembered Mingcan for some reason, if this little girl came, she would definitely not be able to stay here, and she would not be used to drinking this bitter tea.

She will definitely run to people's yards, wander around like an adventure, and look for sweet cakes and red bean porridge for the maid.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhen Guogong asked curiously.

"Am I laughing?" His smile became even stronger when he asked, "I just thought of Cancan's girl, she ...... all day"

Shaking his head, "That's it, it's just a joke for Grandpa Guo to say it." ”

"That little girl is indeed cute, a snowman is as smart as a snowman, and I am afraid that she will be more beautiful than her mother when she grows up." Zhen Guogong said.

"Cute is cute, in fact, it's really annoying to be naughty!" Lin Xian shook his head and sighed again, but the smile on his lips did not diminish in the slightest.

"With you loving her like now, Yi'er Quanxia has knowledge, and she can rest assured." Zhen Guogong muttered, "But what exactly do you plan to do with them? ”

"Mingyu doesn't need to say it, he is a man, his identity is even more special, as long as there is a glimmer of hope in the future, I will definitely go all out to help." The topic was so painful that the little pleasure just now was suppressed.
