After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

Xiao Nianru was betrothed to a young man from the offshoot of the Jingzhao Du family.Moreover, Xiao Yansui had already met Du Wulang at the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so even if she didn't care much about this marriage, she still knew about it. .

However, on weekdays, Xiao Yansui has never participated in presiding over any affairs of the Xiao family.

After the concierge came to report, Xiao Yansui and him stared at each other for a while, the concierge was almost so dumbfounded by Xiao Yansui that he was about to cry, Xiao Yansui blinked his eyes , pointed to the porter, and reminded: "Grandfather hasn't come back yet, you go and send a letter to my aunt first."

After speaking, Xiao Yansui glanced at the maid beside Xiao Song after the concierge left for Pei's courtyard, and casually asked: "Have you heard what happened just now? Can the old man pass a message?"

She kept saying that she was an old lady, but Xiao Yansui's tone was really lazy, and even a somewhat polite title was described by her as an extremely exaggerated, which made people feel that there was something wrong with it. Wrong meaning.

After a brief silence, a maidservant next to Xiao Song stood up and replied respectfully: "Maidservant is going now, please rest assured Liu Niang."

"Go, go!" Xiao Yansui waved his hands, still looking quite casual.

Although Xiao Nianru and his party are relatives of Xu Guogong's family in Lanling's hometown, Xiao Yansui has never seen these people before because of his young age.

Besides, Mrs. Pei is taking care of it, and Xiao Hua is also at home at this time, so Xiao Yansui is not worried at all, and still sits steadily at Xiao Song's place waiting for his grandfather to come back.

After all, what I saw at the banquet today, Li Wenning's complexion is really not very good, and the matter related to the crown prince of the East Palace must be due to the conflict of power between the court and China. Xiao Yansui felt that he should ask his grandfather Xiao Songbi alone. Any guesses are reliable...

For Pei's and Xiao Hua's side, how to invite these relatives of Xiao Nianru and his party to come in for the time being, for Mrs. Xu Guogong's Mrs. He's side, after a maidservant went to deliver the letter, the face that was obviously wrinkled due to aging Rarely showed some smiles.

"Nianru has been obedient since she was a child. When I saw her last time, that child was still a little bitch!" Mrs. Xu Guogong's wife, Mrs. He, was all smiles when she said that.

--It was also a coincidence that Xiao Hua and Xiao Heng picked them up at Duke Xu's mansion, and there were several grandchildren who had given birth to Mr. Xiao Lang, but Xiao Yansui was always the only young lady. Sui was wrong, but it was well known to the entire Xiao family.

Speaking of which, Xu Guogong's wife, Mrs. He, would be so honest with Xiao Yansui, but in fact, there was another reason back then.

When Xiao Yansui was born, it happened to coincide with the passing away of Mrs. Xu Guogong's wife He's mother and the mistress of He's in Kuaiji.

It stands to reason that He Shi's mother is such an elderly person, even if she went, it would be a joy or a funeral.However, the He family seemed to be on the edge of a dead end. Under the grief of the mother's death, they heard that the Pei family had given birth to a daughter, and the Xiao family was full of joy, so they insisted that Xiao Yan suspends her life and forcibly restrains her.

In this way, before Xiao Song could say anything, someone from the elders of the He family in Kuaiji told their married daughter, Xu Guogong's wife, the He family, to shut up.

If it's the grandmother who lives together, it's really not good to say that the grandmother's death date and the granddaughter's birthday coincide.

However, Xiao Yansui and the mistress of the He family in Kuaiji were separated by three generations, and they had different surnames at all. What's more, the old lady died just after a few years. It was clearly a happy funeral. Mrs. Xu Guogong It's understandable to be sad, but to slander her own granddaughter like this can only be a joke and make people suspect that he will be the tutor of the He family...

Therefore, after the incident, both Xiao Song and the He family in Kuaiji, held the mentality that more things are worse than less things, so they kept silent and pretended nothing happened.

Especially Xiao Yansui was just born at that time, these old things, not to mention Xiao Yansui who didn't know anything at all, even Xiao Hua and Pei Shi who had personally experienced this time back then, all just had some guesses in their hearts, But it was never really confirmed.

Only Mrs. Xu Guogong's wife, Mrs. He herself, has always been brooding over the cause of her mother's death over the years.

It's just that, in fact, she also understands that if she really wants to tell this matter, it is her fault as a grandmother. Therefore, although she has always been tired of Xiao Yansui, she is just out of sight and out of mind. No.

Of course, for an old couple at this age, He Shi has been awkward and tempered for so many years. Although Xiao Song finds it inexplicable, he can barely accept it.

After all, if you want to talk about He Mui who turns a blind eye and closes his eyes, he is really an expert in the expert family, and he can't see it at all.However, if the He family really wanted to do something to Xiao Yansui, it would be impossible for Xiao Song to turn a blind eye to it...

·

Mrs. Xu Guogong's Mrs. He is an elder after all, after Xiao Nianru and his party arrived, Pei came directly to Xiao Song's main courtyard with them, intending to go to see He first.

The maid in charge who had come back from Mrs. Xu Guogong's Mrs. He subconsciously looked at Xiao Yansui. Although she didn't speak, she was obviously asking if Xiao Yansui wanted to go out and meet her.

Xiao Yansui glanced at her calmly, without saying a word, continued to nest in Xiao Song's room silently, and even turned a page of the book with a calm expression, and continued to read.

Seeing this, the maid was dumbfounded, and there was nothing she didn't understand.

But anyway, Xiao Song hasn't come back yet, Xiao Heng and Xiao Wu are not there, and the young gentlemen under Princess Xinchang's knees haven't shown up either. In the evening, it's okay for this group of juniors to meet again. It's okay, anyway, at this moment, no matter what, there are not enough people, so there is really no rush.

On Xiao Yansui's side, she was still waiting steadily for her grandfather Xiao Song to come back.

In the same courtyard, but only a few steps away, Mrs. Xu Guogong's Mrs. He's side was full of laughter and laughter.

Looking at Xiao Nianru who is about to get married when she grows up, remembering that the last time she saw her, Xiao Nianru was still such a little guy, Mrs. Xu Guogong's wife, Mrs. He, couldn't help being filled with emotion, as if seeing her own daughter again. In the joy and joy of being about to get married, she took Xiao Nianru's hand lovingly and refused to let it go.

"That Goro from the Jingzhao Du family has no choice for his appearance, appearance, literary talents and martial arts. Sanlang met him at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival not long ago." Naturally, the He family knew that Xiao Nianru was a daughter who was about to get married. What cared most in his heart, he naturally said to Xiao Nianru in a low voice with a smile on his face.

Although many aristocratic women in the Tang Dynasty were tough, there were often delicate and shy ones among the unmarried young ladies.

Hearing what He Shi whispered to her, although Xiao Nianru still had a little smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, his face flushed instantly with embarrassment.

He Shi lightly patted Xiao Nianru's head, seeing the little girl's shy and naive appearance, and being refreshed on happy occasions, she felt as if she was ten years younger, so she softly comforted her with a smile on her face: " Recently, Saburo is going to attend the banquet of Xinke Scholars all day long, when he comes back, let's ask him, next time you go out with him..." I can also meet Du Wulang and get to know each other.

Xiao Nianru listened, and although her face was flushed, she still nodded shyly and timidly.

At the time of the Tang Dynasty, the social atmosphere was relatively open, and blind marriages were not popular.Even the "Tang Law" also stipulates that adult children who have established a marriage relationship without the consent of their parents must be recognized according to the law.Only when the children are underage, the marriage must follow the words of the elders in the family.

Seeing Mrs. Xu Guogong's Mrs. He holding Xiao Nianru tightly, she obviously loved her very much. Knowing that she had never given her daughter a good face, Pei Shi, although she still had a smile on her face, even said a few words to make fun of her. , However, when looking at Xiao Hua, he blinked his eyes intentionally, with a half-smile.

Xiao Hua patted her hand lightly, held it for comfort, but didn't speak.

Pei Shi was slightly dissatisfied in her heart, but she also knew that her own daughter was really not a weak character who would be wronged, and she suddenly saw He Shi's kind attitude towards the other granddaughters of the Xiao family. It's just unfair for my daughter.

However, after thinking about it, her daughter Xiao Yansui treated He Shi with the same violent temper, and Pei Shi's heart instantly became as calm as water. Seriously speaking, Pei Shi feels that this is not the case now. No, after all, looking at Xiao Nianru's delicate and shy little daughter, and thinking about her own steadfast daughter, Pei admitted that it was He who had changed his temper. I'm afraid Xiao Yansui might not take it seriously. Being able to get along with He Shi like this is a pleasure...

At the age of Xu Guogong's wife, He Shi, who has already taken care of her life, the joy in life is naturally indispensable to play with her grandchildren.

However, in most cases, Xiao Langjun either goes to the academy to study, or goes out to ride and shoot, and it is rare for him to be with his grandmother all day long.Although the aristocratic women of the Tang Dynasty could roam around and make flowers when they wanted to play, in most cases, it was still more common for them to accompany their granddaughters and play coquettishly with their grandmothers.

However, the only granddaughter of Mrs. Xu Guogong He's family is Xiao Yansui. The two of them just look at each other with disgust, which is enough for the Xiao family to avoid each other intentionally or unintentionally.The He family likes the eldest grandson Xiao Heng, but unfortunately, Xiao Heng also loves his younger sister Xiao Yansui. Coupled with the generation gap caused by the age difference, it is estimated that Xiao Heng is more inclined to play with his younger sister instead of coming to accompany him every day. Grandmother Heshi...

As a result, with He Shi's current status, it's unfortunate that she really doesn't have any chance to spoil her grandchildren. It's rare to have a lovely Xiao Nianru, so why not just be enthusiastic about it!
