Houfu Key Class

In just a few steps, the old couple had already prepared several plans and were fully prepared.

"We sincerely welcome the old Marquis and Madam back home." The guards at the door saluted and said hello.

"Okay, okay." The old lady saw the mother and son waiting in the courtyard at a glance.

"Grandma!!" The little devil Sayazi ran over and threw her into his arms like a fish in water.

The old lady's heart was so soft that she almost melted. She quickly hugged him back and said repeatedly: "Oh Jincheng, my little sweet grandson, grandma misses you. Quickly let grandma see if she has grown taller again?"

The little devil held her in his arms without letting go. He raised his head with a round face and said with a smile: "Yes, I have grown taller again and become stronger! Grandma, my grandson misses you too. I wrote to you a few days ago. My grandmother didn’t reply to my letter, and I was still sad for several days.”

"Oh, my little dear, grandma just saw the letter and thought she would go back home immediately, so she didn't reply." The old lady said seriously, "This homing pigeon is really true. It can get lost for several days at such a distance. Wait. Later, grandma will ask someone to raise a new batch of carrier pigeons with good eyesight."

"Yeah!" The little devil nodded heavily.

It turns out that what Shunzi said was true. It was just that the carrier pigeon was lost, so it wasn't that his grandmother didn't like him.

Haha, happy!

"Jincheng, my grandfather is back too, why don't you talk to me?" The old Marquis also began to settle accounts after the fall.

Fortunately, he was the first person to read the letter, but the letter didn't mention him at all, which made the old Marquis extremely jealous.

Seeing this, the little devil hurried over to put out the fire: "Jincheng also misses his grandfather, but he has not done well in his studies recently, so he is embarrassed to tell his grandfather."

"You didn't study well?" Old Marquis said in surprise, "I heard that you took the ten-year-old test paper and got a good ranking. Isn't this good?"

"Of course it's not a good thing. Grandpa, please wait and see next month. I will take the test for the children's science class next month. I want to be admitted to the children's science class where prodigies study!"

"Good, good, ambitious. He is worthy of being the treasure of our Yuanyang Hou Mansion." The old Marquis was fed by the big cake and kept praising his precious grandson for his greatness.

On the other side, Xu Wan was dressed dignified and elegant in a green dress today. When she saw the two elderly people coming back, she stepped forward and said, "I've met my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

The old lady looked more and more satisfied. She smiled and held her arm and said, "Good Wan'er, it must have been very hard for the whole house to take care of you these past few months."

Xu Wan smiled and shook her head: "It's not too hard. Housekeeper Liu and Mother Zhao take care of most of the affairs in the house. Jin Cheng and Wen Xiu are also very good and cooperate with the teachings of Mr. Baili and many private tutors."

"Haha, that's so good, that's so good." The old lady knew what kind of virtue her little devil had, at least it was not related to the word "good".

But Xu Wan only chose the best words to say, and she was naturally happy when she heard them. Of course, she also understood Xu Wan's efforts behind the scenes.

The old lady sighed: "I knew that handing over the stewardship to you that day was the most correct decision we made."

Xu Wan smiled modestly.

Xin said that he was grateful to his boss for the high-paying opportunity. Although he had not yet received a bonus of 100 million, the monthly salary of 300,000 per month was quite high.

She now has more than a thousand taels saved in her small treasury, and has successfully entered the wealthy family.

The four of them walked into the hall chatting and laughing. They kept talking to each other. Xu Wan and the little devil told them interesting things about the house and the academy. The old marquis and the old lady listened patiently and talked to them from time to time. Learn about the interpersonal relationships between Beijing and China.

As Xu Wan had expected, when asked by the Marquis Yuanyang, he found that he had no relatives, no connections, no connections, and was not close to anyone, but he had not offended anyone, so he was quite clean.

However, she found that when the old lady came back, the conversation always revolved around herself and Jin Cheng. When Wen Xiu and Aunt Hong were mentioned, she just smiled and said they didn't seem to care much.

When Xu Wan noticed it for the first time, she thought it was her illusion. When she mentioned it later, she found that it was still the same. The old lady only asked about the progress of the little devil, and seemed to only talk to Wen Xiu in a superficial way, without actually caring.

It was as if Wen Xiu was just an outsider.

Xu Wan knew that there was a difference between the direct concubines of the Chu Kingdom, but the difference should not go to this level. Could it be that the old lady was extremely unhappy with the identity of the second wife's wife?

However, the two old men had just returned today, and Xu Wan was not ready to ask this question in public. He just asked the maids to watch outside, and when Wen Xiu came back, he directly brought them to the front hall to talk.

"Wan'er, tell me again, how did Jin Cheng come to kneel in the ancestral hall?"

Xu Wan smiled brightly and said, "It was You Wenxiu who was a good example. He took over all his mistakes. Jin Cheng felt guilty, so he followed him to the ancestral hall."

The old lady paused and said with a smile: "Wen Xiu is such a good boy."

That's the attitude again.

He complimented her calmly, but his smile didn't even reach his eyes.

Xu Wan's curiosity was almost aroused.

But the old lady quickly led the topic away. These five months were too long, and the details of the little devil's growth could not be finished until nightfall.

At this time, a thumping sound suddenly came from outside, and it sounded like a child running.

Xu Wan stood up and said, "Wen Xiu should be back."

The little devil also quickly stopped talking to the old marquis and ran out to pick up his brother.

The old Marquis only said: "The relationship between Jin Cheng and Wen Xiu is quite good now."

Xu Wan smiled and said: "After all, they are blood cousins, so their relationship is naturally closer than that of ordinary people."

When she said this, neither the old marquis nor the old lady responded. They just smiled and picked up the teacup on the table to drink water.

Xu Wan noticed that the atmosphere was not right. She stopped her steps and sat back on the chair.

"Mother-in-law, please try this seven-flavor cake. Jincheng likes it very much." Xu Wan tactfully did not mention Wenxiu again.

"Okay." The old lady tasted the cake and found it a little dry, so she picked up the teacup again.

Outside the door, the little devil's voice rang again: "Grandma, grandma, my brother is back! My brother is amazing. He is now a student in the children's class! He is a child prodigy!!"

Zong Wenxiu was dragged in by his younger brother. There was still some sweat on his face. It was obvious that he ran in from the door in a hurry. Because his grandparents, who had not seen him for a long time, came back today, he was also very happy in his heart, and his whole face was filled with a bright smile.

"Hello, grandpa and grandma." He smiled and called.

The old marquis looked out when he heard the voice, and he stopped at the spot at a glance, like a sculpture.

The old lady looked at the ten-year-old boy in front of her. The sun shone in from behind him, illuminating his profile. The boy had lost his inferiority and fear from six months ago, and replaced his sunny and energetic face with a bright smile from inside to outside, just like the unruly boy who always surrounded her and said he loved his mother the most in her memory.

"Yan'er..."

"Pah--" The teacup fell to the ground and shattered, and the old lady's tears fell.
