Cannon Fodder Silly Wife Dressed as a Male Lead[Transmigration Book]

After returning to the palace, Xiao Mingce hadn't come back yet, Nanny Sun ordered her servants to put away the bought things, and Ye Yao bought the Spring Festival couplets for two taels of silver, and he took them back to the bedroom.

Xiao Mingce still didn't come back until after dark, Ye Yao had already eaten some pastries to fill his stomach, and wanted to have dinner with him.

The Spring Festival couplets were placed on the table in the bedroom. When the two returned to the room after eating, Xiao Mingce saw the neatly folded Spring Festival couplets at a glance. The bright red paper was still conspicuous even at night.

The ink was printed on the back through the paper. Xiao Mingce thought it was written by Ye Yao. Curious in his heart, he picked it up carefully and took a look. It was a joy to read it.

"Who wrote this Spring Festival couplet for you?" Xiao Mingce turned around and asked.

"I went shopping in the street in the afternoon, and I saw an old man with a stall at the entrance of Dongshi. It was hard work to set up a stall in the cold weather, so I patronized it." Ye Yao said.

Xiao Mingce folded the Spring Festival couplets, pulled Ye Yao to sit down, and was in a good mood, "Do you know who he is?"

Ye Yao shook his head honestly, "I don't know, but this word is very beautiful. The old man must have spent a lot of time practicing it. He must be a hermit."

"Haha." Xiao Mingce laughed, "A master is indeed, a hermit is not so appropriate."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Yao immediately knew that he recognized the old man's handwriting, "Do you know him?"

Xiao Mingce said "Yes", "After he resigned, he traveled to the surrounding small countries. When I got married, I didn't come back. Now you are the first to see him when I come back."

Ye Yao was full of doubts, "Listen to what you said, he has a close relationship with you?"

"He is my grandfather." Xiao Mingce nodded, "Tomorrow I will try to clear up the value earlier and take you to meet his old man."

Ye Yao was dumbfounded. He was kind and curious, and spent two taels of silver to ask the old man to write a couplet. How did he meet grandpa?

"Why didn't you mention him to me before, and it turned out that I met him as if he was a stranger, would it be rude?" Ye Yao rubbed his hands, actually trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Grandfather is informal, so he doesn't care about these things." Xiao Mingce nodded at the Spring Festival couplets on the table, "Besides, if you bought his Spring Festival couplets, he might have a good impression of you."

"Uh..." Ye Yao hesitated, "If you take two taels of silver for a couplet, will he think that I'm a fool, a prodigal?"

Xiao Mingce couldn't help but patted his head, "Don't think about it, it won't happen."

The next day, Xiao Mingce got off work earlier than usual, and came back to take Ye Yao to see his grandfather, but he heard that his grandfather had come by himself, and Ye Yao was entertaining him in the living room.

Without changing his official uniform, Xiao Mingce went to the living room, expecting to see Ye Yao at a loss, but in the end, he saw the two of them chatting like Wangnianjiao.

"Grandfather!" Xiao Mingce stepped forward and bowed to the old man.

"Boy is back?" Grandfather squinted and smiled, "Looking at the sky, it's not time for you to pay off."

"Yesterday I came back with the Spring Festival couplets, and my lord recognized grandfather's handwriting at a glance. However, it was too late yesterday. My lord and I made an appointment to visit my grandfather today, so I came back early." Ye Yao helped explain.

Grandpa had been here for a while, and Ye Yao was still a little cautious at first, but the old man didn't have the pretensions of a feudal patriarch, he was approachable, knowledgeable, and Ye Yao let go without knowing it.

Grandpa looked back and forth between the two of them, Xiao Mingce sat next to Ye Yao nervously as soon as he came back, Ye Yao naturally explained the reason for his early return, Grandpa was very satisfied with what he saw, "You two have a good relationship. "

Both of them smiled, and after a while, Xiao Mingce asked, "Grandfather, why are you back?"

"Your uncle sent me a letter saying that I'm going to be a great-grandfather, so why don't you come back immediately and have a look." When my grandfather said this, he kept looking at Ye Yao, "It's ashamed to say that when you got married, your grandfather was far away. , When I received the letter, the time had passed, and I didn’t come back.”

"Grandfather is serious. When the matter was urgent, it is understandable that you didn't come back in time. Moreover, your grandson didn't live up to expectations at that time, so you will be angry when you come back." Xiao Mingce said.

Xiao Mingce grew up outside, and the relationship with his relatives in Liangdu is actually quite weak. His grandfather was the former Minister of the Household Department. After the Supreme Emperor abdicated, he resigned and traveled around. He seldom returned home and only reported to the I'm safe, I didn't expect to come back because of Ye Yao's pregnancy.

Everyone in Liangdu knew about his story back then, he didn't know whether his grandfather knew about it, anyway, his uncle was angry and impatient with him, and bluntly said that he had failed his expectations.

"Looking at the way you two love each other now, grandpa is relieved." Grandpa paused, "I heard that you are currently on duty at the household department. It seems that your father is already intending to support you."

Xiao Mingce hesitated for a moment, but he took the initiative to tell his grandfather why the emperor asked him to go to the household department. On the surface, he was on duty, but in fact he was supervising.

Grandpa was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed: "All these years have passed, and your father is still like this."

"Grandfather, what do you say?" Xiao Mingce asked.

Grandpa took a look at Ye Yao, "You're bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, the Zhou family didn't dare to move, and they beat other ministers sideways, and they might hit the loyal ministers."

Xiao Mingce thought for a while, and asked a question: "The meaning of my grandfather, Mr. Ji is credible?"

Ye Yao listened and wanted to roll his eyes. His grandfather and grandpa were so clear about the emperor's problems, but they still let him be the emperor. He didn't know how he felt.

However, the monarchy is hereditary, the dynasty has not been overthrown, and the heirs are basically the heirs of the incumbent. The emperor's grandfather either has no descendants, or is rare. Instead of a prince, the emperor was elected to inherit the throne.One day, if a fatuous, incompetent, cruel and heartless person is chosen, the country will probably come to an end.

The old man is probably an old fox too, of course Ye Yao would not say these words, he is no longer Xiaomengxin who has just come to this world, he understands the truth that misfortune comes from his mouth, no matter how amiable the old man looks, even if he is pregnant with the royal family. Son, you should be cautious in your words and deeds.

"People change. He was trustworthy in the past, but now and in the future are unknown. You have to judge for yourself." Grandpa laughed.

Ye Yao listened, and stuck out his tongue. This was like practicing Tai Chi. You pushed it, I pushed it, and said nothing for a long time.

"Grandfather is absolutely right." Xiao Mingce's reaction was quite different from his.

Ye Yao glanced at him, pulled his sleeves, Xiao Mingce looked back, took his hand, and shook it reassuringly.

Xiao Mingce's little move was noticed by his grandfather, "A Yao has something to say, you don't need to treat your grandfather as an outsider, it doesn't matter if you have something to say."

Grandpa suddenly called him by name, Ye Yao blinked, he couldn't say that what you said was all nonsense, it sounded boring to him, why don't you go on and talk about what grandpa has seen and heard outside, but can you say it?Obviously not, looked at the sky, it was getting dark, and simply replied: "It's nothing, just prepare dinner, there is an imperial cook in the house, I want to ask my grandfather what he likes to eat, I ordered the imperial cook to cook."

"After Ah Yao said this, I really feel a little hungry, so let's eat hot pot." Grandpa paused and then said: "I passed by a restaurant on the way back to Liangdu. The way of eating is very interesting. The boss said that the main store In Liangdu, the old man came back and saw that it was closed, and I heard that the boss is A Yao, I wonder if the old man has such a good fortune?"

Ye Yao's heart skipped a beat. In fact, they hadn't made it public that he was the boss. Where did grandpa know?

Looking at it this way, it really is an old fox.

"Grandfather came back from a long way and wants to eat hot pot. Of course I want to be satisfied. Let the servants prepare it. You and the prince have a slow chat." Ye Yao stood up and left the living room under Xiao Mingce's gaze.

"Don't look, at my own house, your daughter-in-law just went to ask the servants to prepare food, and it's not like she won't come back." The grandfather shook his head and joked.

"I don't think a daughter-in-law violates the laws of Liangguo." Xiao Mingce was confident.

The grandfather laughed and said after a while, "This kid is not bad."

"Grandpa Huang, grandma Huang and concubine mother said so." Speaking of his daughter-in-law, Xiao Mingce never stopped smiling, "Grandpa is coming back this time, will he still go?"

"This trip to the surrounding small countries has yielded a lot. I plan to write a book. I will stay in Liangdu for a while. As for whether I will go out again, it depends on my physical condition." The grandfather laughed again, "At least between the two of you. Before the child is born, he will not go."

It seems that the grandfather really came back this time for the sake of the child. Xiao Mingce pursed his lips, chatted about some homework, and then asked his grandfather about the work of the household department.

Grandfather had been on duty in the household department for many years and had rich experience. Even though he had resigned for five years, he was more than enough to teach him. After all, he was his grandfather, so Xiao Mingce was not polite to ask for advice.

Ye Yao knew that grandpa came here not only to see him, but also to find Xiao Mingce for something, so he didn't go back after he came out, and wanted to help out in the kitchen, but he could only watch from the sidelines when the servants spoke nicely. Be an overseer.

Before he was pregnant, everyone was very cautious about him, and even more so after he was pregnant. They were afraid that he would get breathless and move his fetus, so they wouldn't let him do any work.

Speaking of which, he has been here for a long time, and there have been some changes in how he behaves, but he always feels a little bit guilty for letting him feel at ease as a master who stretches out his clothes for food and opens his mouth.

After he stayed in the back kitchen for a while, Grandma Sun came over and said that the oily smoke was heavy, which was not good for the child, and wanted to help him leave. Grandma Sun was the elder, but Ye Yao did not refuse, and left the back kitchen with her.

It was completely dark, and he was sitting on a swing in the backyard, surrounded by plum blossoms and lanterns hanging beside him. He was wearing thick clothes, gloves and a scarf, and was fully equipped.

When Xiao Mingce came to look for him, he put his hand on Ye Yao's head, his hair was cold, he must have stayed there for a long time.

Xiao Mingce frowned: "It's so cold, why stay outside? It's so warm with a stove in the room."

The swing kept shaking slightly. Ye Yao heard his voice, and then knew that Xiao Mingce was coming. He tapped his toes and controlled the swing to stop, "Have you finished talking with your grandfather?"

"Well, I just asked about the experience of working as an errand in the household department. The servant said that it's time for dinner. My grandfather has already gone to the restaurant first. I came to see you." Xiao Mingce said.

Hearing this, Ye Yao stood up quickly, "Then hurry up, how can we make the old man wait."

Seeing that he was leaving in a hurry, Xiao Mingce supported him, "Don't worry, I told my grandfather to eat first when he was hungry, and then I came out to look for you."

When he arrived at the restaurant with Xiao Mingce, all the servants were chased away by the old man, and he was the only one cooking the dishes, but he didn't eat first.

"Come here and sit down." Grandpa waved to the two of them.
