"Yes, yes, it seems that I'm old and confused, so I shouldn't call them soon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Old Lady Xiao stroked the beard under her chin and instructed the housekeeper.

Seeing the housekeeper go to the back hall, Mrs. Xiao smiled at the guests: "Everyone, the old grandchildren and granddaughters are going to give tea to the old man, I think my Xiao family's generation is very vigorous, there are more than 20 grandchildren alone, and there are more than 10 granddaughters, I'm afraid I can't count the old husbands." ”

When the guests in the hall saw Mrs. Xiao's face, they also congratulated and congratulated him.

After a while, I saw a brightly dressed boy from the back of the hall one after another, the first one was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with big ears on the back of the tiger, this young man was the grandson of the Xiao family, the eldest son of the eldest master, and the future head of the Xiao family in the future.

"The eldest grandson, Xiao Mingfeng, wishes his grandfather a unique blessing and a better life than Nanshan. Xiao Mingfeng held the tea in both hands and handed it to Old Lady Xiao.

"Okay, okay, grandpa has your eldest grandson, presumably my Xiao family will go to the next level in the future. Old lady Xiao made no secret of her love for this eldest grandson, because this eldest grandson is not only successful in reading, but also skilled in bows and horses.

Mrs. Xiao, who received more than 20 grandchildren's tea, smiled, and all the guests in the hall also felt a strong sense of joy.

For these more than ten granddaughters, although Mrs. Xiao was still smiling, the attentive guests at the table still saw that Mrs. Xiao did not have the enthusiasm for the grandchildren just now.

"Alright, let's finish the tea. Old lady Xiao said to the housekeeper.

Hearing the old lady's question, the housekeeper Xiao Buren's heart tightened, and it suddenly occurred to him that the fifth lady who passed away from the old lady had given birth to a son, but ......

No matter what, I think that the fifth miss of the Xiao family was also good to herself back then, how can she fall into the well now, thinking of this, Xiao Buren opened his mouth and replied: "Back to the old lady, the fifth lady once gave birth to a son, and she has not come up to give you tea at this time." ”

"Huh?" After listening to the housekeeper's reply, Old Lady Xiao couldn't help but sink his face and hesitate, this little bad animal, if it weren't for him, how could my beloved daughter Wan'er die in childbirth!

"Old lady, he is the son of the fifth lady after all, your own grandson, you should meet him. The housekeeper Xiao Buren said nervously, and at the same time said silently in his heart: "Fifth Miss, Buren, I tried my best......"

When the guests saw the old lady Xiao with a cold face, they couldn't help but guess what was going on.

Looking at the guests who were a little puzzled at the table, Mrs. Xiao suddenly remembered the dead beloved daughter Wan'er, thinking that her beloved daughter Wan'er was coquettish and happy under her knees, but now she has been separated by yin and yang, and the years are like a shuttle, thinking that although she is over the age of sixtieth and has reached the age of not knowing the destiny of heaven, she can't help but reddened the corners of her eyes.

"Alas, that's it, that's it, just call him up. Old lady Xiao said to the housekeeper, and at the same time wiped the corners of her eyes while everyone was not paying attention.

After a while, I saw a boy of twelve or thirteen years old come out of the back hall, wearing a thin old robe, which stood out from the brightly dressed people in the hall.

"My grandson worships Xiaojian and wishes my grandfather good health and longevity. Bai Xiaojian held the tea in both hands and sent it to Old Lady Xiao.

Looking at the little grandson in front of him, who faintly looked like his beloved daughter, the hand that Old Lady Xiao stretched out to receive the tea trembled slightly and stopped in mid-air, and the scene fell silent for a while.

After all the guests saw this scene, they all turned their heads to ask why this was, and He Ronggui, an old friend of Li Yiting, the head of the Li family, asked him in a low voice: "Brother Li, why is this? Old lady Xiao looked so abnormal, it was really strange. ”

"Brother He, do you know who the number one beauty in Rongyang City was more than ten years ago?" Li Yiting asked in a low voice to He Ronggui.

"Oh, isn't that the fifth daughter of Old Lady Xiao, the fifth lady of the Xiao family, could this be her son?" He Ronggui said in amazement.

"Not bad. Li Yiting replied with a strange look on his face.

"But I heard that the fifth lady of the Xiao family has never been married. He Ronggui pondered.

"Alas, back then, the fifth lady of the Xiao family was charming, and quite talented, there were countless wealthy families who came to the Xiao family to propose marriage, and the young talents of the entire Yuzhang County flocked to Rongyang City, and finally it was rumored that the fifth miss of the Xiao family died of illness, but in fact, the fifth miss of the Xiao family died of pregnancy and childbirth unmarried, but the Xiao family did not mention anything about it in order to maintain their reputation. Li Yiting explained.

"I can't imagine that there are so many reasons inside, and it is not easy to come here to worship Xiaojian in the Xiao family. He Ronggui looked at Bai Xiaojian who handed tea on the stage with some pity.

"Of course, I don't know which thief's wild seed, hmph, the Xiao family didn't get rid of this wild seed, it is the end of benevolence and righteousness. Li Yiting remembered that he had begged the clan to propose marriage to the Xiao family, but the fifth lady of the Xiao family was unmarried and pregnant, and he was annoyed when he thought of this.

All the guests at the table have inquired about the reason, some loud guests inadvertently shouted out that the fifth miss of the Xiao family was unmarried and pregnant, and finally gave birth to Bai Xiaojian and died in childbirth, at that time, the entire Xiao Mansion was so quiet that even a needle could be heard, the so-called family ugliness can not be publicized, the original joyful birthday banquet changed its tone in a blink of an eye, everyone in the Xiao family felt that their faces were gloomy, and the old lady Xiao, who was originally in a trance, also heard the whispers under the seat, and couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, and waved his hand in the air, only to listen to the "boom" With a sound, Bai Xiaojian, who was happily waiting for his grandfather to receive tea, couldn't help but be surprised, and the teacup in his hand had been overturned by his grandfather.

"Don't you get out of here, don't you think you have embarrassed the Xiao family enough?" Old lady Xiao was furious, regretting that he shouldn't have relented and called him up.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaojian's chest was full of grievances, his heart was sour, and he couldn't help but shed tears, remembering that a few days ago was his birthday, and no one from the Xiao Mansion came to inquire, not to mention, today he gave his grandfather tea full of hope, but he didn't expect to fall into this fate, and he couldn't help but sigh that the world was cold and cold, and his heart was full of loneliness.

The housekeeper Xiao Buren saw that the old lady was furious, and hurriedly whispered to Bai Xiaojian: "Don't go back quickly." ”

Bai Xiaojian was half-pulled and half-dragged back to the backyard of Xiao Mansion by several servants, the backyard of Xiao Mansion is quite spacious, at this time Xiao Mansion up and down are gathered in the front yard, it is the backyard is very deserted, Bai Xiaojian wandered alone at the door of the courtyard, listening to the sound of the silk string piano from the front yard......
