Chapter 1115 Come to the door
Xiao's housekeeper, who was the gatekeeper, heard the knock on the door and yawned, "Who is this early in the morning?"
Xiao Renli heard someone respond, so he clapped the door: "I'm Xiao Renli, looking for your old lady."
The family member naturally knew who Xiao Renli was, but he had already heard from Steward Shen that he could be treated as an ordinary person, and he just opened the door a little: "Then wait a moment, and let someone report to the inner court."
After he finished speaking, he closed the door again. After all, this is the first time the master of the Xiao family's big room has come to the door, so he would not dare to let people in easily.
Xiao Renli felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say anything. After all, he was here to ask for help, so he shouldn't cause trouble first.
When the maid from the outer courtyard arrived at the old lady's courtyard, the old lady hadn't gotten up yet, so she could only say to Xu Mammy, "Xu Mammy, there is someone from the Xiao family's big room, and now it's outside the house."
When she heard that the people from the big room were coming, she thought to herself: I have only lived in peace for a few days, but I couldn't bear it anymore, and came to the door early in the morning.
was even more annoyed by the people in the big room, but she also knew that if she didn't like it, she didn't like it, but this matter still has to be decided by the old lady.
So he asked, "Which one is from the big house?"
The girl heard the question: "The concierge said that it was the master of the Xiao family's big room who came here."
Mother Xu turned around and walked to the inner room. When she came in, she saw the old lady just sitting up: "Old lady, it's still early, why don't you lie down for a while."
Mrs. Xiao raised her head to look at Madam Xu, did not answer her, but asked, "Who is outside?"
Mammy Xu stepped forward: "Old Madam, the maid from the front yard came to report that it was the eldest master."
Old Mrs. Xiao may be old. After listening to Xu Mammy's words, it took a while to react: "You mean Renli is here?"
Mother Xu nodded: "Yes."
Mrs. Xiao was excited: "Let someone take him to the main hall of the front yard to wait for a while, and say I will be there soon."
After finished the order, he said to the outside: "Su Ye, let someone bring water in."
She thought that Xiao Renli had settled down and came to see her specially, so she was not too excited.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Xiao to arrive at the front yard with the help of Xu Mama and maid Du Ruo. He had long been looking forward to the day we met.
Standing at the door of the main hall, he saw Xiao Renli sitting inside: "Renli."
At the same time, Xiao Renli also found the mother at the door. He stood up from his seat, took a few steps forward, and knelt directly on the ground: "I have seen my mother, my unfilial son is here to see you."
Old Mrs. Xiao came over tremblingly: "Son, you are finally back, and my old bones can be expected."
Xiao Renli also really felt sorry for his mother at this meeting, his eyes were red: "It's the son's unfilial piety, which makes you worry."
Mammy Xu reminded at this time, "Old Madam, let the eldest man get up and talk."
Mrs. Xiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, the ground is cold, get up."
Xiao Renli stood up and said, "Mother, it's really a blessing to be able to go back to Beijing and see my mother again."
Mrs. Xiao noticed that only Xiao Renli was alone: "Where are the others?"
Xiao Renli sighed: "Mother, only my son is here today."
After hearing this, the old lady stared into her son's eyes and said, "Did something happen?"
His own son knew that, seeing his dodging eyes, there was still something he didn't understand.
