When Zheng was sent to the family temple, only a few people in the house knew the inside story. Xiao Jingzhu and Xiao Jingwan naturally didn't know it.
Since the Zheng's incident, the big house has been quiet in the mansion. Xiao Yanqi was originally a quiet temperament. Although he took good care of his body later, he didn't appear in the mansion very much.
After he was well conditioned when he was fourteen years old, he left the Hou residence and went to Heyang. He rented a house near the Xiaojiajia Temple, and went to see Zheng's every three or five minutes, and he devoted himself to reading on weekdays.
It can be said that since the age of fourteen, Xiao Yanqi has never returned to the Hou Mansion. Willow catkins will naturally not treat him harshly. She will arrange for someone to send the things that the big house should have in the past few years.
But it was absolutely impossible for the Zheng family to come out of the family temple.
Mrs Yang: "I received a letter before. Brother Qi has already left from Heyang. I guess it will only take a day or two. When Brother Lin comes home again, our family will be really lively."
"Speaking of which, our family is really weird. Brother Qi is going to serve his mother, which is justifiable. And Brother Lin has been staying at the border all these years, and he doesn't come back once in a few years."
Liu Xu was silent for a while: "He and Qi Ge'er have a different path. If you want to get something, you have to fight for it yourself. What is always waiting for the favor of the elders?"
Yang's eyes rolled around, the old lady had something to say. She didn't ask much. The three houses on the left and right had no sons, so it was not their turn to plan.
After the face-to-face reward, the soldiers went back to their homes, and Xiao Yanlin was no exception. Xiao Jinting was waiting there when he left the palace. After seeing the young man in front of him, Xiao Jinting's eyes were very complicated,
Compared to Xiao Jinting's calmness, Xiao Yanlin was a little overwhelmed. He remembered that his father passed away early in the dream, but now his father is alive and well. Besides, in the past, in his mind, his father was a playboy playing in the world. How could he be like this now?
For a time, Xiao Yanlin felt a sense of separation, who is he now? Has he experienced those things?
"Go back, your grandmother is waiting at home." With a sigh, Xiao Jinting took the lead.
When he mentioned his grandmother, Xiao Yanlin lowered his eyes. Since he contradicted his grandmother that year, he has not seen her again for so many years, and now even his grandmother's face is a little blurry.
No, the reason why things are going differently seems to have started from my grandmother's side. Xiao Yanlin's back froze, could his grandmother have the same dream as him?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He later found out that his father had indeed suffered an accident, but he was led by his grandmother to resolve the crisis. If it weren't for the prophetic...
If grandmother also dreamed of these, then everything that happened in Houfu...
Thinking of the accident in the big house, it was basically the grandmother who pushed it... The more Xiao Yanlin thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, so because his grandmother didn't see him for so many years, did he resent him?
With these messy thoughts in mind, Xiao Yanlin followed Xiao Jinting into the Hou Mansion silently all the way. It was a coincidence that they came back, and Xiao Yanqi also happened to be in the house. Except for Zheng's absence, it was a real reunion.
After chatting and laughing with everyone for a long time, and talking about some customs of the border, everyone dispersed. Only Xiao Yanlin and Liu Xu were left in the room, and the room fell silent for a while.
It took a long time for Xiao Yanlin to speak: "I dreamed one after another a few days ago, and what I saw in the dream was completely different from what I experienced now."
Liu Xu had already known about Xiao Yanlin's abnormality from Jiang Chan, and she didn't panic: "Dreams are all fake, this is our real life."
Xiao Yanlin looked at Liu Xu: "My grandmother hasn't seen me in the past few years. Did she see the same dream as me? So you blame me?"
Liu Xu put down the tea cup: "You are too much."
Xiao Yanlin: "It's not that I'm over-hearted, it's grandmother, you are disappointed in me, right?"
The catkins were silent, and Xiao Yanlin smiled bitterly: "Since I had that dream, I have been thinking about everything over the years. If my grandmother really complained about me because I stood up for the Zheng family back then, it would undoubtedly be a big deal."
"You have always been the most compassionate, and you will not be so ruthless to others."
Liu Xu: "You know the reason now, and you should also understand what I mean. When I said that you were partial to faith, you only saw Xiaoqing and Xiaoai in your eyes, ruthless and unrighteous, unkind and unfilial, what did I say wrong?"
Xiao Yanlin: "No, grandmother, you are right, I am indeed such a person. But are you being too cruel to me, grandmother? Obviously I didn't know this before... You pushed me far away..."
Liu Xu's fingers moved: "But now that you know it, you should also understand that I'm just staying away from you, not treating you harshly. I used to love you so much, but how did you do it?"
"The reason why your father was killed was because of the Ning family's hand, and you also married the daughter who killed your father's enemy, and she and He Meimei. Have you ever thought that you are doing this to my and your mother's hearts? Stab the knife?"
"You don't, as soon as you see Ning Miao, your soul seems to be lost. When you only see her, you don't care about anything. Your sister Jingwan just had a few quarrels with her, and you don't care about you. My younger sister and Yufu are already in love with each other, and they just split them up and marry the southwest far away."
"Your sister's marriage didn't end well. Your mother was unhappy and died before she was forty. I lost my son in middle age, and my daughter-in-law and granddaughter are all gone in my later years. Who gave me this step?"
"Shouldn't I blame you? Your father died tragically because of the Ning family, and your sister also died because of the Ning family. When your mother knew that your father was murdered by the Ning family and wanted to divorce his wife, you categorically refused, did you have any? Have you thought about how your mother felt?"
Xiao Yanlin opened his mouth, but couldn't say a single rebuttal.
Liu Xu took a sigh of relief: "Since I know you are such a person, how can I spend my time on you? As long as your father is still alive, your mother and I will never have to count on you, after all, you are really disappointing. ."
Xiao Jinting didn't know how long he had been listening outside. He originally wanted to send Lu Yanxin back to find Xiao Yanlin, but who would have heard these words outside?
Immediately his face sank. Seeing Xiao Jinting coming in, Liu Xu waved: "Go and tell him, I'm tired."
Xiao Jinting cupped his hands: "My son retire first, mother, you have a good rest."
When Liu Xu went to the inner room, Xiao Jinting glanced at him: "Come with me!"
Seeing Xiao Jinting's look, Xiao Yanlin thought that Xiao Jinting looked at him the same way back then. He silently followed Xiao Jinting's footsteps until he entered the ancestral hall.
Seeing his father offering incense to his ancestors, Xiao Yanlin was expressionless: "Father is not surprised what he said to his son."
