Chapter 26: The Secret of the Old Man's Heart

"For... Why? ”

Facing his granddaughter's inquiry, the old man looked bitter, looked up at the bright moon above his head and sighed long, "It's all my grandfather's fault." ”

Hearing this, Wen Mianmian became even more curious.

"Grandfather, Caiyunju is going to sit down?"

Some words have been held back in the old man's heart for too long, and he thought that he would never want to mention them, but now he suddenly had the desire to talk about them somehow, and he involuntarily followed Wen Mianmian to Caiyunju.

Inside Caiyunju, the old man drank a cup of tea, and said the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time, and he suddenly felt a lot more happy.

He was originally the eldest son of a petty official of the sixth grade, and that year his father tried his best to find an opportunity for himself to enter Beijing to serve, and he accompanied him to Beijing.

His father was in a good position, and he had to participate in a poetry meeting held by the sons of Kyoto's high families, and it was this opportunity that he met the girls of the Liu family, who were known as the first beauties in Kyoto.

He just watched from a distance at that time, but he felt that the girl of the Liu family was really like the fairy in the painting, and the beauty made people feel unreal, and then the girl of the Liu family fell into the water, and the water fell not far from him, and he didn't understand anything at that time, so he jumped down and fished people up......

"Later, there were rumors in Kyoto that the girl of the Liu family and I had a skin-to-skin relationship, and the reputation was ruined, your great-grandfather felt that the opportunity had come, at that time, the Liu family was full of nobles, and the two four-grade members in the house, if they married the girl of the Liu family, they would definitely be able to bring a smooth road to the career."

The palace lamp of the Ruyi Pavilion exudes a bright light, stretching the shadow of the tea cup for a long time, and the old man's eyes seem to have seen the dancing candle flame through the lampshade, and his eyes are full of decline.

His somewhat cold voice continued to sound in the room, "The first beauty in Kyoto, how can a good-for-nothing person like me be worthy, I know the unwillingness and grievance in your grandmother's heart, because I have never cared about the affairs of the house, everything is up to her, I just hope that she can be better." ”

His eyes turned slightly, falling on Wen Mianmian, "My grandfather has also been uncomfortable all these years, if I can do it again, I'm afraid it won't be too much." ”

Wen Mianmian sighed faintly, although she couldn't fully understand it, but it was somewhat understandable that a girl like a flower and jade obviously had a bright future, but because she married someone who was unacceptable in terms of power and emotion, she was naturally unwilling and aggrieved in her heart.

And the grandfather, who should have had a warm and harmonious family, has been cold and violent for decades because of this marriage, which is embarrassing to think about.

The old man endured it, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and approached Wen Mianmian, "At that time, your grandmother had already made a marriage, and the object was the prince of Qinghou back then, which is now the Marquis of Qin. ”

"After the incident, your grandmother had no choice but to marry me, and her sister married Qinghou, I saw clearly back then, it was her sister who pushed her into the water."

This is a big matter, the old man has never told anyone, if it weren't for this moment, he really couldn't hold it back, and he wouldn't have said it.

Wen Mianmian covered her mouth, and quickly added a bloody story in her mind that her sister took a fancy to her brother-in-law, and then grabbed it by any means.

"The Liu family has slowly declined over the years, and your uncle wants to marry her daughter to your brother, but your father disagrees."

Living under the same roof, the old man also knows a lot about the affairs of the Han Academy, and he also looks down on the Liu family a little in his heart, after all, he never went to the gate of the Wen family before the clerk was erected.

The corners of Wen Mianmian's mouth twitched slightly, where can this cousin and cousin get married, it's right not to agree.

Looking at the lonely little old man, Wen Mianmian slapped him on the arm, startling him, Wen Mianmian smiled and said: "Grandfather, these days have come here, regret is useless." ”

"Although my grandmother looked cold, she also raised her father and brought up her brother, and it was not easy to work for this family."

"You work hard to win your grandmother's heart, doesn't the Liu family just think that your grandmother is not good at marrying, it turns out that Liu Tianhua is looking at me with her chin, and now you don't want Baba to ask for it?"

"Let's make Grandmother more beautiful and make her proud to marry you."

The old man came to the spirit, and immediately remembered his paintings, it is impossible for him to take a career at this age, if he can become a master in the painting, the holy hand in the painting, etc., it is difficult to find a thousand gold, it is also a great thing.

"Well, I will continue to keep improving, Mianmian, and you will also help grandfather."

"Of course."

The two grandfathers and grandchildren looked at each other and smiled, and they had a common goal.

The next morning, the birds chirped in the branches, Wen Mianmian lay in the quilt and blinked, suddenly exclaimed, quickly turned over and got out of bed, "Lingguo, help me." ”

She forgot that her grandmother had returned, and according to the rules, she was going to the Han Yuan to say goodbye, and she had missed the time at this time.

Lingguo came in with hot water, and just waited for her to wash and put on her clothes, Wen Yiqing's child came, "Sister~"

Wen Mianmian hurriedly went out, "You don't have to go to school today, why are you not happy?" ”

Wen Yi looked at her with clear eyes, "Sister, are you going to say hello to your grandmother?" ”

"Yes, I'm up late, have you already asked Ann to come back?"

Wen Yiqing shook his head, "I'm also going to say goodbye to my grandmother." ”

In the minds of the children, the old lady is the most terrible person in this house, knowing that she is back, the child has not slept well all night.

"Then come with me."

That's what Wen Yiqing meant, he is not afraid of his sister in him.

In this way, the two sisters and brothers quickly went to the Han Courtyard, and on the way, they also encountered a snack that had just been sent in from next door, Wen Mianmian took it and brought it with them.

When she arrived at the gate of the Han Courtyard, she raised a smiling face, and at the same time told Wen Yiqing, "When you see someone, please say goodbye, be well-behaved, smile cutely, and don't cry." ”

Wen Yiqing nodded, hurriedly pulled out a smile, and walked in with her.

Wen Mianmian happily entered the door and approached the old lady, "Grandmother, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Mrs. Wen, who hadn't slept well all night, saw her sweet smile, and seemed to be a little angry, "Sleep well, but you, don't you like to sleep lazy?" ”

"When I woke up, I was going to continue sleeping, but I couldn't sleep at the thought of my grandmother coming back, and I wanted to come and talk to my grandmother."

Seeing that she was sitting beside herself again, her eyes glanced at Wen Yiqing lightly, Wen Yiqing hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, "Grandson asks grandmother for peace, grandmother is healthy." ”

This was the first time he had spoken so fluently in front of the old lady, and the old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Sit down." ”
