Chapter 230: The heart is very complicated
Xiao Yuming took Cuiyun to the door of the house, and saw Xiao Yiyuan also hurrying over, and after the two greeted each other, they saw several cars slowly driving over, and walking in front was Niu Hongliang, the head of the guards of the Hou Mansion.
Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yiyuan saw that someone was coming, and walked over together. Niu Hongliang saluted the two, and at the same time, the curtains of several cars were opened, and people of all ages got out of the cars.
Out of the first car came an old man in his sixties and seventies and two middle-aged people. When Xiao Yiyuan saw it, he hurriedly walked over and helped the old man's arm, and shouted, "Second grandfather." ”
"Hey." The old man answered, then looked him up and down, and couldn't help but say, "I'm more energetic than before." ”
He is Xiao Chengming, the younger brother of the old marquis.
Xiao Yiyuan smiled, and then introduced Xiao Yuming to him, "Second grandfather, this is the second son of the Hou Mansion. ”
Xiao Yuming stepped forward and saluted, "The juniors are polite." ”
Before he really recognized his relatives, he didn't call for a closer name. But Xiao Chengming didn't care about this at all, he took two steps forward, looked at Xiao Yuming carefully in the hazy light, and then said with tears in his eyes: "Like, like your grandfather." ”
"Yes, a lot of people say that." Xiao Yuming made a gesture of please, "Let's go in first." ”
Xiao Chengming turned his head and looked at an old woman not far away: "Sister-in-law, let's go." ”
The old woman had a reluctant smile on her face, and Xiao Yiyuan walked over to help her. Xiao Yuming thought of what Tang Shuyi had told him before, and also walked over.
Xiao Yiyuan introduced again: "Grandma, this is the second son of the Hou Mansion. ”
Xiao Yuming bowed to her, but the old woman was a little at a loss, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Xiao Yuming made another gesture of invitation, "Let's go in first." ”
He turned around and walked towards the house, the old woman held Xiao Yiyuan's arm tightly, Xiao Yiyuan could clearly feel her trembling, patted her hand soothingly, and whispered, "Grandma, everything has me." ”
When the old woman heard this, her mood was much more stable, and she said, "Well, I know that my grandson is capable. ”
Xiao Yiyuan turned around and beckoned his parents and sister into the house together, and when everyone arrived in the hall, Xiao Yuming said: "Today's journey is tiring, you have a good rest first, and then enter the house to meet my mother tomorrow." ”
Xiao Chengming and the others naturally didn't have anything to do, Xiao Yuming saw that they were all a little nervous, so he didn't stay long, said a few words politely, and left with Cuizhu. Indeed, as soon as he left, Xiao Chengming and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yi Sheng, go and close the door," Xiao Chengming instructed Xiao Yisheng, and then asked Xiao Yiyuan in a low voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Although Xiao Yisheng had already told him a lot of things, he still wanted to hear Xiao Yiyuan talk about it again. First, because Xiao Yisheng did not participate in some things before, and he didn't explain it very clearly. Second, Xiao Yiyuan is the most promising in their family, and his words are more convincing.
Xiao Yiyuan could understand his mood, and patiently told him how the second prince sent people to provoke him, what happened when the second prince's staff invited him to the teahouse, and what happened when the second prince was imprisoned because of that incident.
After he finished speaking, the room was quiet, and what he said was more detailed and vivid than Xiao Yiyuan's, which shocked Xiao Chengming and them again.
After a while, Xiao Chengming asked in a low voice, "That... Then this is not with the emperor... Has the emperor made a feud? ”
That's too bold, isn't it?
The people who have never seen the county order are shocked even when they mention the emperor, not to mention that the Yongning Marquis Mansion has made a prince imprisoned. Just thinking about it scares the individual to death.
"I also heard about it later," Xiao Yiyuan said: "The second prince has a grudge with the dead Yongning Hou, when Yongning Hou was alive, he didn't dare to make a big move, after Yongning Hou died, he fought against Yongning Hou Mansion everywhere. ”
"It's... Isn't that bullying? Xiao Chengming's voice was full of anger.
Xiao Yiyuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "The Marquis of Yongning has made great achievements in war and sacrificed his life for the country, and the emperor still cares about these feelings. Moreover, Mrs. Hou was born in the Tang Guogong Mansion, and the Tang Guogong took care of Mrs. Hou very much. The Yongning Marquis Mansion does not seem to be afraid of the second prince. ”
Xiao Chengming and they were even more shocked, there are still people in this world who are not afraid of the royal family?
"It's more complicated, and you'll find out about it slowly." Xiao Yiyuan knew that they wouldn't understand it even if he explained it, so he simply stopped talking.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then the voice of the steward, "Young Master Xiao, the meal is ready, you can use it." ”
Cuizhu explained to the steward when he left, among these people, Xiao Yiyuan is the person in charge, and he can be found if there is anything.
Xiao Yiyuan went over and opened the door, and then led everyone to the restaurant with the steward. The steward smiled and said to Xiao Yiyuan: "Time is in a hurry, the meal is simpler, Xiao Gongzi Haihan." ”
Xiao Yiyuan glanced at the dining table, there must be at least a dozen dishes, and hurriedly said, "Very good, it's troublesome." ”
"No trouble, no trouble, that's what villains should do." The steward bent his back slightly and said, "Do you need a villain to call someone to serve?" ”
Xiao Yiyuan waved his hand: "No." ”
The steward smiled and said yes again, and then withdrew, leaving them in the room. Xiao Yiyuan glanced at the back of the steward leaving, and once again felt that Mrs. Hou did not leak anything in her words and deeds, which made people unable to find any courtesy.
What's going on with these people in their family, the entire Yongning Marquis Mansion should know about it. However, whether it was the time when he lived in the Hou Mansion or after his family came today, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion were all respectful to them.
The attitude of the subordinate often reflects the attitude of the master. Mrs. Hou gave them the greatest courtesy.
Thinking about these things, Xiao Yiyuan asked the family to sit down and eat. These people in the Xiao family are used to being poor, and although they eat simple food all the way from southern Xinjiang, they already feel very good. Now seeing this table full of exquisite meals, they once again realized the wealth of the Hou Mansion.
Everyone sat there, and their hearts were very complicated for a while.
"Second grandfather, let's eat." Xiao Yiyuan whispered to Xiao Chengming.
Xiao Chengming pressed the chaos in his heart, picked up the chopsticks and said, "After a day's journey, I'm hungry, eat." ”
He picked up the chopsticks first and took a bite, and the others also picked up the chopsticks to eat. They were indeed hungry, and the food was very palatable, and after a while, the plate was at the bottom. However, there are more than a dozen dishes, and the amount of staple food is very sufficient, and the family is very satisfied.
As soon as I finished eating, the voice of the steward came from outside, asking if I needed to serve tea. Xiao Yiyuan knew that this meant to ask if he had finished eating, so he answered, and a few little maids came over with tea trays, served everyone a cup of tea, and then went out again, leaving them as a family.
Xiao Chengming took a sip of tea and whispered to Xiao Yiyuan, "I'll talk to you a few words in a while." ”
Xiao Yiyuan nodded, "Okay." ”
