The next day, when Xiao Xiwei went to ask the old lady again, he mentioned it.

The old lady stared at Xiao Xiwei and said with a dark expression, "Who told you to say this?" ”

"The granddaughter doesn't dare to deceive her grandmother, her aunt came to look for Wei'er yesterday." Xiao Xi got up slightly and lowered his eyes.

The old lady's face sank, and she slammed the red coral beads in her hand on the table, "She has a good calculation!" ”

"Grandmother, don't be angry just yet." Xiao Xiwei saw that the old lady was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for the old lady.

The old lady glanced at Xiao Xiwei slantedly, but she still didn't save her face, raised her hand to take the tea she handed over, and took a sip.

"Grandmother, if you put aside the sidelines, is there anything about Aunt Shumei that Grandmother doesn't like?" Seeing that the old lady's expression seemed to have eased a lot, Xiao Xi pursed her lips slightly and looked at her and said in a low voice.

The old lady frowned slightly.

If you don't mention that Zhou Shumei has a marriage contract, that child is smart and gentle, but people really can't find anything wrong.

"For people like us, the most important thing is reputation." The old lady picked up the string of red coral beads on the table again and said in a calm voice.

That is, I don't hate her.

"That's what Grandmother said." Xiao Xi got up slightly and sat on the red sandalwood couch in front of the old lady, raised his hand and gently pinched the old lady's foot, "I used to think the same as my grandmother, but I saw that my father was busy all day long and came home and didn't even know whether to know hot and cold, if my mother was still there......"

Speaking of Chen, Xiao Xiwei's hand paused, and his voice gradually lowered.

The old lady was also stunned, pinching the coral beads and not speaking for a long time.

Xiao Xiwei pinched the old lady's leg and didn't speak again. She knows that some words only need to be clicked to stop, and saying too much will make people suspicious.

came out of the old lady's quiet garden, and after walking a few steps, I saw Xiao Min leading two girls standing in the corner of the corridor, obviously waiting for her.

Sure enough, seeing her come out, Xiao Min greeted her in a few steps, "How?" What did the old lady say? ”

Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his lips slightly, but did not answer.

Xiao Min's face changed slightly, "What, could it be that the old lady doesn't agree?" ”

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "Grandmother, she didn't say anything. ”

"Didn't say anything?" Xiao Min frowned, and couldn't help but be a little confused.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "Auntie, it will be my grandmother's birthday in a few days." Whether this matter is successful or not, let's wait until my grandmother's birthday! ”

Xiao Min's brows gradually relaxed, "That's right, everything is still waiting for the old lady to celebrate her birthday." ”

The old lady didn't say anything, but he didn't open his mouth to object, which shows that this matter is still feasible.

"Speaking of which, my aunt has been here for a few days, I wonder if she has ever been to see her mother?" Xiao Xi raised his hand slightly and stroked the tassel hanging down his ear, as if he had no intention of saying.

Lee's?

Xiao Min raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a light smile, "I went to the Painting Brocade Garden a few days ago, but the people said that my sister-in-law was sick and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so I ......"

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "I think, my mother's 'illness' should be cured in the past two days." With that, she glanced at Xiao Min lightly, and then led the girl away.

Xiao Min looked at Xiao Xiwei's back, and her eyebrows gradually twisted.

Inside the Sparse Shadow Xuan, the scorching sun bald.

Creepers crawl all over the corridor, and the golden sunlight jumps over the emerald green leaves, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Seeing that the old lady's birthday was coming, all kinds of trivial matters in the house were complicated, and they all pressed on her head, but fortunately, Mama Liu was by her side to assist, and Hongyu's injury was healed, so that she could steal some time to take a breath.

Before she could sit for long, Biyun ran and jumped into the courtyard, and shouted loudly from afar, "Miss, eldest young master...... The eldest young master is back! ”

Xiao Xiwei was surprised and delighted, stood up suddenly, and walked towards Biyun quickly, "What did you say?" Is my brother back? ”

"Yes, I'm going to the old lady's quiet garden right now." Biyun nodded vigorously.

"Quick, let's go to the Quiet Garden." Before Xiao Xiwei finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Silent Garden.

The old lady took a young man's hand and burst into tears.

"You kid, I thought you were playing wild in Wucheng, and I can't remember that there is a grandmother in the capital!" The old lady said while wiping away tears.

The young man looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a navy blue robe, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, and bright eyes with a wanton and hearty smile, "Grandson forgets that no one can forget that grandmother is not, grandson wants to come back!" But my grandfather wouldn't let me! If it weren't for the fact that I would have come back to celebrate my grandmother's birthday this time, my grandfather would have dragged me to practice in the barracks! ”

"That dead old man, I don't know how my heart grows! If he doesn't come back himself, forget it, and you're not allowed to do it! Look at you like this...... It seems to have lost a lot of weight compared to last year. The old man took Xiao Xiyang's hand and touched his tanned face, feeling distressed for a while.

"Grandmother, this is wrong to blame grandfather, grandfather came up with a good idea a month ago, let me guard Wucheng for him, and he will come back to the capital by himself! I thought about it, how could such a good thing be taken by my grandfather, so I packed up the package and ran out overnight! Xiao Xiyang laughed loudly.

"Look at this! It's really not serious! The old lady reached out and tapped Xiao Xiyang's forehead heavily.

Xiao Qi was ordered to garrison Wucheng and was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict. She didn't know this, knowing that Xiao Xiyang's words were amusing her, but she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of her husband who was far away in Wucheng.

In the past few years, his health has become worse and worse, and I don't know if I can survive until the day he comes back.

As soon as Xiao Xiwei entered the room, he saw the handsome man at a glance, and looked at his still flying eyebrows, and tears welled up at once.

"Brother......

By the way, I almost forgot to tell my sister that just now, there was a secret song to report that Zhongyong Hou was ambushed by the rebels of the Northern Desert on the way back to Beijing and had been martyred. It's a pity, originally, he knew his sister's grievances and wanted to go back to Beijing to make decisions for his sister...... Sister, you see, you have killed your own brother again!

Xiao Xile's words seemed to ring in his ears again.

"Yo, what's going on? I finally came back once, but you cried like a little cat, don't you welcome my brother and me back home! Xiao Xiyang reached out and pinched Xiao Xiwei's nose and smiled dotingly.

"Brother......" Xiao Xiwei stretched out and hugged Xiao Xiyang's waist, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Xiao Xiyang, who was still a little ridiculous, immediately took it back, he helped Xiao Xiwei up, raised his hand and clumsily wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Wei'er, what's wrong?" Who bullied you? You tell your brother, and he will avenge you! ”

The rough palm caressed her cold cheeks with warmth, and Xiao Xiwei only felt a burst of warmth suddenly roll in her cold chest.

She wiped a handful of tears from herself, raised her eyes to look at the old lady and said, "Grandmother is here, you can talk to it!" ”

Xiao Xiyang smiled and patted his chest to reassure, "Of course!" A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. ”

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "Aren't you the one who bullied me?" ”

"Me?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows, and spread his hands helplessly, "When did I bully you!" ”

"Didn't you just say I looked like a little cat?" Xiao Xi pouted slightly.

Xiao Xi was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "This is also counted?" ”

"Forget it!" Xiao Xi's chin lifted slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a bright smile.

"Grandmother." Xiao Xiyang turned his gaze to the old lady.

Seeing the two grandchildren arguing in front of him, the old lady felt that she was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing, pointing at Xiao Xiyang and saying, "It's you who are wrong!" How can anyone who is an elder brother say that his sister is like a cat! ”

"Look, my grandmother said you bullied me!" Xiao Xiwei walked to the old lady and pulled her arm, looked at Xiao Xiyang proudly and smiled.

"Good, good. My good sister, my brother said the wrong thing, so I will give you a gift. Xiao Xi smiled, took two steps back, and bowed to Xiao Xi in a serious manner.

For a moment, the people in the room laughed and looked happy.

"My brother is back." A crisp voice suddenly interjected.

Xiao Xile turned his face slightly, and saw Xiao Xile walking in wearing a pink full-breasted skirt embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers.

"Yes." Xiao Xiyang nodded, "It's just right that you're here, I brought some gifts back from Wucheng, you and Wei'er can pick and choose together." So saying, he ordered the gift to be brought to him.

Look at the plate of all kinds of fine jewelry made of ivory, which are beautifully carved and shiny.

Xiao Xile only glanced at it, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Brother Xie." She smiled and thanked her, and then reached for the plate with the jewelry.

"Sister, wait a minute." Xiao Xiwei suddenly spoke.

The smile on Xiao Xile's face froze, his face was a little embarrassed, and he reluctantly withdrew his hand, "Sister is going to choose first?" ”

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "How come." These gifts were brought back to us by my brother, but my brother was afraid that he didn't know that the fourth sister had also returned home, should he call the fourth sister to choose together? ”

The corners of Xiao Xile's mouth twitched, looking at so many exquisite ivory jewelry on the plate, each one of them was exquisite and valuable, if there was one more person, he would have to divide a lot, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"It turns out that the fourth sister has also returned home, so I was really negligent." Xiao Xiyang said with a smile.

"Cui Ping, but I called the fourth lady." The old lady commanded.

"Yes." A girl in a green shirt walked out.

Xiao Xi smiled and walked to the chair and sat down as if nothing had happened.

And Xiao Xile stared at the plate of jewelry, his eyes were about to drip blood.

Such a good thing, that cheap girl is also worthy of it!

The old lady also felt Xiao Xile's expression, and couldn't help coughing a few times, and glanced at her coldly.

The more I look at this granddaughter now, the more I feel that she is the same as her mother...... The eyelids are shallow, and they can't be on the table at all! Compared with Xiwei's dignified and steady, it is a world of difference.

Xiao Xi took a sip of tea from the teacup, and the corner of his eyes caught a glimpse of the obvious dissatisfaction with Xiao Xile in the old lady's eyes, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his lips.
