Chapter 7 Staying at the Evening House

Xi Xiaoshen and Mama Luo walked through the crowd, not noticing that a little white dog was happily sticking out its tongue and following them steadfastly.

After going around a few streets, Mama Luo finally stopped in front of a certain house. Xi Xiaoshen looked up at the courtyard wall covered with green vines, and saw that the two vermilion gates were hung with the door plaque of "Xi House".

"This is it. Mama Luo took a deep breath, raised her hand to hold the lion's head knocker on the door, and knocked lightly twice.

Xi Xiaoshen stood outside the door of the Xi house, looking forward to it and uneasy, she was weak when she was a child and was sent to recuperate, and she finally grew strong, but she lost most of her memory, no matter how she looked at it, she was suspected of falling stupid.

Mama Luo naturally doesn't dislike her, but if she can't even recognize her grandmother later, will she be turned away? After all, the women of the Xi family are all cultivated according to the standards of the family heirs, and she doesn't seem to have any other specialties except for being particularly able to eat!

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, what should she do, is it too late to return to the mountains now?

At this time, two family members came out to answer the door, and when they heard that Mama Luo was asking to see Mrs. Xi, they looked at the two of them suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you?

Mama Luo didn't explain much, she took out a yellowed silk handkerchief from her sleeve. The face is embroidered with a few bright plums, although a little faded, the embroidery is extremely exquisite.

"Please give it to Mrs. Xi, she will know it at a glance. Mama Luo handed the silk handkerchief to the two family members, and they looked at each other, unable to understand what the old woman was saying. But they didn't make it difficult, they said "wait a minute", and went back with the silk handkerchief to resume their lives.

"Mama, does grandmother recognize this silk handkerchief?" Xi Xiaowan thought to herself, Mrs. Xi must be very familiar with Mama Luo to recognize the token she carried.

Mama Luo's eyes were gentle, and she nodded: "I am the old lady's dowry maid, and the silk handkerchief was given to me by her, you should remember it." ”

Hearing her say this, Xi Xiaogray's eyes couldn't help but show reverence.

Mama Luo was deeply trusted by her grandmother, who could have enjoyed her old age in Xi's house, but was willing to take care of her sick and weak in the mountains and forests. From now on, she will redouble her efforts and be filial to Mama Luo.

As Xi Xiaohui expected, after Mrs. Xi saw Sipa, she immediately asked the family to bring Mama Luo and them in.

Under the leadership of the two family members, Xi Xiaohui followed behind Mama Luo, passed through the hanging flower gate, bypassed the verandah, and passed through the courtyard of the three entrances, before coming to the north room where Mrs. Xi lived.

In the courtyard, there is a locust tree with a thick water tank, and on the stone table under the tree, a topaz-polished chessboard is placed, and the board is covered with black and white seeds.

While waiting, Xi Xiaogray said carefully and thoughtfully: "Mama Luo, do you think the old lady will like me?"

"You are a child of the Xi family, how could the old lady not like you!" Mama Luo had a kind smile on her face.

As soon as the words fell, they suddenly heard a "creak", the door opened to them, and Mama Luo hurriedly shut up, and signaled Xi Xiaoshen with her eyes not to talk nonsense.

Xi Xiaoshen nodded, and raised her eyes to look at the old lady Xi who was walking slowly. This graceful old lady is her grandmother, and why is she not the slightest impression?

As the most noble elder of the Xi family, she is not as strict as she imagined, on the contrary, she is a little amiable. The moment she saw Mama Luo, the wrinkles hovering in the corners of her eyes suddenly smiled, but when her eyes fell on Xi Xiaoshen, her expression was a little unnatural, it was a very complicated expression.

Xi Xiaoshen admonished herself that she should meekly bow her head and pretend to be well-behaved. Instead of looking at the old lady with extreme curiosity, as is the case now.

But she was really curious, and she was eager to know if her grandmother remembered her, and whether she could see the change in her! Because her grandmother was the closest person to her other than her parents.

"You are, little gray ......" A trace of pity flashed in Mrs. Xi's eyes, looking at her familiar face, she couldn't help but think of the painful memories of her favorite daughter Xi Yan eloping with a demon man, and suddenly impatiently looked away from her face.

"When I grow up, I'm more like him......" Old Lady Xi repeated the words "too similar" in an inaudible voice.

Mama Luo was beside her, looking a little embarrassed: "Old lady, when Xiao Ash is recuperating outside, the person who cares about you the most is you!

"Meet my grandmother, Xiao Ash wishes you a long life than Nanshan, as blessed as the East China Sea, and return to the ......west with a crane" Xi Xiao Ash paused, what are the idioms with the word "north"?

Old Madam Xi looked at Xi Xiaoshen, who was trying to pretend to be smart, her eyes were stunned, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but stiffen.

It turns out that Xiao Gray, the child, has become stupid, and was brought back by Mama Luo?!

Mama Luo was still glad that Xiao Ash was doing well, but at this time she was so frightened that she hiccuped, and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Ash was excited for a while, and said the wrong thing, please old lady, you, you bear with me......

Mama Luo was afraid that the old lady would be angry, but unexpectedly, she waved her hand with relief, "Tong Yan Wuji!

Hey, it's better to be stupid! It's better than being a demon!

Hearing this, Mama Luo's hanging heart finally let go, Xi Xiaoshen didn't expect that she would pass the test so easily. She was about to thank her grandmother, but she saw a pretty figure walking outside the door.

Xi Xiaogray looked fixedly, and the girl who came to her was the young lady who lost her purse.

"It's you?!" Xi Xiaoshen and the young lady exclaimed in unison, unable to figure out how the other party could appear in Xi's house.

Mrs. Xi called out to the young lady with surprised eyes, "This is your sister Xiao Ash who is recuperating outside, and now she has recovered." ”

Then, Mrs. Xi looked at Xi Xiaoshen a little tiredly, "She is your sister Xiaocan, you sisters will get along well in the future, understand?"

Xi Xiaohui nodded like a chicken, although the young lady in front of her said a little strange in the market, but she has another relative, this feeling is really good.

Mama Luo finally came back to her senses, no wonder she was a little familiar with this young lady before, and she dared to love the child of Aunt Xi's little gray family.

"I haven't seen you for many years, the eldest lady is slim and slim, and I don't recognize it at a glance! Little Ash, you liked to pester the eldest lady to play with you when you were a child, call me sister!"

Mama Luo hurriedly reminded Xi Xiaoshen, although her mind was blank, she still cried out happily, "Sister, we are really fated, we will meet again in less than half an hour!"

"What? have you seen?" asked the old lady in confusion.

Xi Xiaocan smiled gently and quietly, affectionately held Xi Xiaogray's arm, and said softly: "No wonder I felt very kind when I saw my sister at first sight, and we didn't know each other." I've wanted to have a younger sister to play with since I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be such a cute sister. ”

Saying that, Xi Xiaocan also pinched Xi Xiaogray's round little face, Xiao Gray was stunned, looking at the overly enthusiastic Xi Xiaocan blankly, a little overwhelmed.

How is she completely different from the face of the bazaar, am I being too careful?

Xi Xiaocan saw that she didn't react, and gently held her hand and said, "Sister, you don't still mind what happened in the morning, right? I'm worried about you! I was almost scared to death by you just now, you are a girl, what if you are injured by that thief?"

Xi Xiaocan said, helping Xi Xiaoshen brush his scattered hair: "Look at your gray face, you should be tired, we won't bother my grandmother." Let's go, my sister will help you get dressed and pick out a few new clothes for you!"

"Sister, you're so good......" Xi Xiaoshen pondered what she said, and then she reacted, Xi Xiaocan counted her down on the street, it turned out that she was worried that she would be hurt by thieves!

As soon as I thought of this, Xi Xiaohui's heart swelled with gratitude, this is the warmth from the family!

Although the gap in the past cannot be filled, from now on, she will accumulate more precious memories with her family.
