Chapter 7: Grandmother
Zhao Xiyan's heart was stunned.
The eccentric-eyed grandmother loves the precious grandson of the second room of the long house, how can she talk about her granddaughter who is the heir of the third room.
Zhao Yuanxiu said this, firstly, to coax her, and secondly, to find a way to support her from the beginning, so that the two brothers could talk.
Zhao Yuanming coughed and glanced at Zhao Xiyan.
Zhao Yuanxiu is a rigid person, and he has never liked women to "mix" with major events in the clan or family. The Zhao family already has the habit of storing grain, and it is not difficult for Zhao Yuanming to convince Zhao Yuanxiu.
After a cup of tea, Zhao Xiyan entered the inner house and met her grandmother Zhang.
Zhang is nearly 70 years old, and he is already living at this time. Zhang's belief in Buddhism, a perennial vegetarian, full of gray hair, and wrinkles on his forehead and eyes. He is a well-known kind elder in Beihai County.
However, this is the time to deal with outsiders. In front of his children and grandchildren, the Zhang family is not so pretentious.
For example, Zhang said with a straight face: "You don't stay in the boudoir, what are you doing here?" There are still more than three months to go, and it's a big girl. You should know the truth of being honest and virtuous......"
There is inevitably some pickiness in the tone.
In the past, Zhao Xiyan would feel aggrieved.
Now looking at Zhao's slightly mean face, Zhao Xiyan is not annoyed at all, and even a little nostalgic.
It's good that my loved ones are alive and well.
Zhang's chatter is two incense sticks.
Zhao Xiyan sighed deliberately: "The eldest uncle said that I haven't come these days, and my grandmother has been talking about me." I immediately came to greet my grandmother. Now I know that my uncle is coaxing me. My grandmother didn't want to see me at all. ”
"It's no wonder grandmother. Whoever made me a girl, it is reasonable that my grandmother likes my cousin and does not like me. ”
Zhang: "......"
Zhang is a decent person, and the most important thing in life is face. It's okay for her to be partial to her grandson, but it's a little embarrassing to be directly told by her granddaughter.
Zhang's dry eyes were glaring, and his old face was sneering.
Zhao Xiyan said very considerately: "Over the years, my father has refused to continue for me. I don't have a taste in my heart. So ......"
"You're going to persuade your dad to continue?" Zhang's eyes lit up, and he eagerly took over the conversation.
Zhang gave birth to three sons and two daughters, Zhao Yuanming is the youngest son, and he has been intelligent since he was a child, and he is full of learning. All the way to the exam, Xie Yuan Huiyuan, was named the champion by the Son of Heaven. The Great Jin Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, and the last one who won the big three yuan was more than 30 years ago.
However, Zhao Yuanming's luck was not good, and he somehow offended the prince, resigned and returned to his hometown. Zhang was almost blind from crying.
What makes Zhang's family even more anxious is that Zhao Yuanming has always been reluctant to get married. It wasn't until he was twenty-three years old that he married a wife and started a family. The third daughter-in-law, Liu's family, was born in a small family, and the dowry was not abundant, so she could barely see people with one face left......
Well, to tell you the truth, the third daughter-in-law is a rare beauty. Zhao Yuanming met by chance, like losing his soul, and insisted on marrying Liu.
Zhang's couldn't resist his son, so he had to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Liu's life was short and blessed, and when he was about to give birth, he gave birth to a daughter and went west.
The Zhang family asked Zhao Yuanming to remarry, but Zhao Yuanming always refused and personally raised Zhao Xiyan to grow up. The Zhang family was reluctant to blame his son, so he turned his anger on Zhao Xiyan.
Every time Zhao Xiyan came to ask for peace, Zhang's mostly pulled a face, and his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
At this time, Zhang's changed his usual pickiness, took Zhao Xiyan's hand, and smiled with a smile on his face: "Crescent moon, you have been filial and obedient since you were a child, and you are also the most sympathetic to your elders." Your father loves you the most, and he doesn't want to remarry for you. Now that you have grown up, you will be married in a year or two. It's time for your father to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"In this matter, others can't persuade your father. However, if you open your mouth, your father will definitely listen to you. ”
"By the way, I'm going to find a matchmaker. If you can catch up, you will be able to have a happy event this year, and next year I will be able to hold my little grandson, and you will have a brother......"
"Grandmother misunderstood." Zhao Xiyan unhurriedly interrupted the overexcited Zhang: "I mean, I don't plan to get married, I want to stay at home all the time and serve my father with filial piety." ”
Zhang: "......"
Zhang was about to be out of breath, stretched out his hand to stroke his chest, his eyes were like copper bells, and he was angry: "What kind of bastard words!" How can there be a girl who doesn't marry! You are trying to make our Zhao family laughed at! ”
"Also, you are a girl, and you can't inherit the Zhao family. What to do at home? ”
Zhao Xiyan opened a pair of innocent eyes: "There are so many men in the Zhao family, why is my grandmother still so anxious?" ”
Zhang glared angrily: "Can that be the same?" Your eldest uncle and second uncle are full of children and grandchildren, but your father has no children under his knees. In the future, there will be no incense in the third room. ”
Zhao Xiyan thought about this question seriously: "Grandmother has a point. In this way, in a few years, I will recruit a son-in-law to enter the door, and give birth to a child with my surname Zhao. Although I am a woman, I can also inherit incense. ”
Zhang was so angry that his brain suddenly hurt, and he reached out to pat the back of Zhao Xiyan's hand.
"Mother!"
A familiar voice sounded in the doorway.
Zhang's clapped hand immediately changed to a gentle stroke, and the love in his eyes was about to overflow: "Crescent moon, your father is here." ”
No way, Zhang's biggest weakness in this life is his youngest son.
In front of Zhao Yuanming, the Zhang family didn't dare to blush at Zhao Xiyan.
This familiar scene that has not been seen for a long time made Zhao Xiyan amused, and there was some unspeakable sourness in his heart.
Such an ordinary day was a sweet dream that she couldn't ask for in her previous life.
Zhao Yuanming pretended not to notice Zhang's inconsistent face, and said with a smile: "Today, I am free with Yue'er to have lunch with my mother. ”
Zhang was very happy, and hurriedly instructed the maid next to him: "Mallow, you go to the kitchen and let the cook make a dish of salted shrimp and a dish of steamed fish." ”
These are Zhao Yuanming's favorite dishes.
Zhao Xiyan blinked his eyes and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, and the eight-treasure fat duck I love to eat." ”
Eat, eat, eat, the girl's family is so greedy!
Zhang pouted in his heart, but he smiled very lovingly: "Grandmother remembers!" Mallow, let the cook make a fat duck with eight treasures, and then make a lotus root box. ”
Zhao Xiyan was satisfied: "It's still my grandmother who loves me." ”
If it weren't for your dad here, look at how Grandmother and I clean you up.
Zhang muttered in his heart, and an old face stretched like a chrysanthemum: "There are so many grandchildren, they are the most beautiful and intelligent in the crescent moon, I don't care who you hurt." ”
Zhao Xiyan smiled: "It's good that my grandmother doesn't think I'm a girl." ”
Zhang's smiled, duplicitous: "The girl has a good family, filial piety and considerateness, gentle and sensible, much better than a stinky boy." ”
The two grandparents sang against each other, and Zhao Yuanming knew it.
One is the mother who gave birth to herself, and the other is a baby girl, and none of them can be said.
Forget it, let's continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb!
