"Look, you're here. It's very sweet when I see my grandfather's small mouth. You and your mom have been busy. Forgot about your grandfather? Guo Songtao said.
"Grandpa, what do you say, my mother and I don't just miss you very much. And I've been thinking about how to make my dear grandfather happier, grandpa, look, your granddaughter and your daughter have brought you a young guest, he wants to have fun with you, he is a very bold and straightforward young man, very similar to you, you can teach him some experience, okay, grandpa?" said Xie Jiayao.
"Father, see your face is shiny, energetic, and your body is very healthy, we are very happy, just now your granddaughter said, we brought a young guest to meet you, his name is Xiao Beiyou, is your granddaughter's good friend, he came to play with you for a while, are you happy?" Guo Huizhi said.
"Junior, Xiao Beiyou, meet General Guo, please say hello to you!" Xiao Beiyou politely greeted.
"Wait, what are you talking about? This young man is Xiao Beiyou?" Guo Songtao looked at Xiao Beiyou carefully and asked Guo Huizhi: "He is the Xiao Xia warrior who is currently discussing with Murong Yun to compete with Shen Deyi?"
Xie Jiayao grabbed the topic and replied: "Grandpa, how did you know at once? He is the Xiaobei Ranger Warrior, he came to visit you on purpose, and his mother asked him to accompany you to talk about martial arts chivalry, are you welcome?"
"What a young man, if you dare to argue with Shen Deyi, you must be chivalrous and courageous, how can the old man not welcome him?" Guo Songtao said happily.
"Father, I haven't come to see you for a long time, this time the Northern Rangers happened to come to the palace, and your granddaughter specially invited him to visit you, I hope you can be happy!" Guo Huizhi said.
"Good daughter, today I am triple happy, you come to see me, happy! My granddaughter came to see me, happy! Xiao Xia Shi is also happy to come to Guo Mansion!" Guo Songtao said.
Xiao Beiyou thought: "Old General Guo is already a long life, but his thinking is very clear, and he is very keen, very talkative, it is really rare!" He thought and said respectfully: "Old General Guo, before I met you, the juniors thought that you must be a very majestic general, and the juniors were really a little timid, but, as soon as I saw you, the juniors didn't expect that you were so active, cheerful, funny, keen and easy to get close to the seniors, the juniors really admired, no wonder, Jia Yao said that you get along well with young people, and it is true!"
"Good daughter, what did Xiao Xia Shi call my granddaughter just now, why didn't I hear it clearly?" Guo Songtao asked deliberately with a smile.
"Hehe, Xiao Xia Shi just praised my father for his sharpness, and my father began to pretend to be sluggish, pretending not to hear, daughter, say it yourself, what did Xiao Xia Shi call you?" Guo Huizhi pushed the topic to Xie Jiayao.
"What's the matter today? The people in my grandfather's family made fun of Jia Yao, I knew that Jia Yao would come back later, and I wouldn't let the Northern Ranger come!" Xie Jiayao said shyly.
"Dear father, my daughter tells you that Jia Yao calls Xiao Xia Shi 'Beiyou Knight', in fact, it is here for you, if it is in the palace, she is only called 'Bei You'; Xiao Xia Shi calls your granddaughter 'Jia Yao', do you hear clearly?
"The old man knows, the young man's affairs are so sweet, it seems that what I felt just now was triple happiness, and now I have to add one more thing, that is, to be happy for my granddaughter and others to have a very sweet name! Haha, okay, I finally figured it out, why did you bring Xiao Xia Shi to see me, I see!" Guo Songtao said happily.
"Grandpa, don't talk about it, you can't embarrass your granddaughter, invite the guests to sit down for tea, don't just talk about talking, we're all thirsty!" Xie Jiayao deliberately changed the topic.
"Yes, yes! The old man only cares about talking, forgetting that it is time to make tea, come on, make tea quickly, entertain Xiao Xiashi, and let my granddaughter's 'North Tour' taste good tea!" Guo Songtao said.
The waiter of Guo's mansion was about to step forward to make tea, Xiao Beiyou said: "This little brother, let me come!" As he spoke, Xiao Beiyou respectfully washed the cup, put the tea, scalded the tea, and poured the tea, the first cup was given to Guo Songtao, the second cup was given to Guo Huizhi, the third cup was given to Xie Jiayao, and the fourth cup was given to himself.
Xiao Beiyou raised the teacup and said politely: "The juniors borrow the tea of Guo's mansion, respect the old general Guo and drink a cup of tea, thank you for the praise of the juniors, although the juniors are embarrassed when they hear the praise, but they also enhance their confidence, and in the future, I hope that the old general Guo can teach the juniors more, urge the juniors to progress, and the juniors are grateful!"
"Hahaha! Okay, the old man drinks this cup of tea, let's communicate more in the future, please stay in Guo's mansion for more time, let's have a good discussion!" Guo Songtao said heartily.
"This cup of tea is for my aunt, thank you for specially leading the juniors to visit General Guo, so that the juniors can have insight, please!" Xiao Bei lobbied.
Guo Huizhi smiled with satisfaction, picked up the teacup, and drank it all.
"This cup of tea is not to say that it is respectful, Jiayao, let's respect your grandfather again, I wish him a long and healthy life, and always chic! Come, drink together!" Xiao Beiyou said to Xie Jiayao.
Xie Jiayao raised her wine glass shyly and said, "I wish my grandfather eternal youth!"
Guo Songtao drank the tea very satisfied, he said: "The old man has asked the kitchen to prepare lunch, today Xiao Xia Shi must accompany the old man to drink a few cups, drink out of dashing energy, of course, if someone is reluctant to let Xiao Xia Shi drink too much, put it forward in advance, the old man will consider taking care of Xiao Xia Shi as appropriate." ”
Xie Jiayao smiled and did not speak.
Guo Huizhi looked at Xiao Beiyou, she felt that Xiao Beiyou's internal strength was profound, and she would definitely not make a mistake if she drank a few more glasses of wine, in fact, Guo Songtao had already seen that Xiao Beiyou's internal strength was very pure, and it was the good offspring he liked, and he wanted to test Xiao Beiyou by drinking.
Xiao Beiyou didn't think about it a lot, he just thought: "With a heroic hero like General Guo, you must treat each other honestly and accompany each other sincerely, he invites him to drink, he can drink as much as he wants, there is no need to hide it, drink it happily if he can, and be happy when he is drunk. ”
When Xie Jiayao heard this, of course she was a little worried about Xiao Beiyou, but what else could she say if her grandfather invited her to drink? Grandpa already liked Xiao Beiyou very much, and she couldn't sweep away the happiness of their grandfather and grandson. (To be continued......)
