Wishful Things
Chapter 28 Showing favor?
"It should be my grandfather who came over." Xu Mingyi said.
"En." Wu Chao nodded, and he heard it too.
Seeing him standing there without moving, Xu Mingyi was silent for a moment, and said: "...Then Mr. Wu is leaving?"
Did he think that the two of them could stand here together and wait for her grandfather to come over without being misunderstood?
Wu Chao was also silent for a moment.
He didn't think about it that much for a moment.
His upbringing since he was a child made him subconsciously feel that when Duke Zhen came, as a junior, he had no reason to deliberately avoid it.
He was negligent.
"Farewell."
He whispered something, then turned and disappeared.
Big Bird followed behind him step by step and turned his head three times.
Before one person and one bird could go far in the future, the voice behind them faintly entered their ears.
"grandfather."
"Why do you stay here alone, and tell the girls to keep you so far... If you fall asleep again, what should you do if you bump into each other?"
"I felt that the room was a little stuffy, so I came to the garden for a walk. I slept for most of the day, and I'm still in good spirits."
Wu Chao didn't listen carefully to this ordinary conversation between grandparents and grandchildren, and he didn't stop on his feet.
However, the girl's next words caught his attention.
"Grandfather, this silk fan is a gift from the empress, do you think it looks good?"
--aunt?
Wu Chao subconsciously stopped, his eyes moved slightly.
Xu Mingyi is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so it's not unusual for her aunt to give some things as gifts.
It's a little strange that a little girl asked her grandfather, who was big and rough, and could fight a gang of bandits alone with a big knife... Is a fan for my daughter's house good-looking?
Although this girl smiled a little silly, but from the few words we talked just now, it can be seen that she is thoughtful.
Wu Chao had a guess in his heart, so he stood where he was and listened intently.
"Hmm...it's pretty, and it matches Zhaozhao very well." In the corridor, Lord Zhen also took the fan and looked at it carefully for a moment—it's no problem for him to break fifty of such a delicate fan at a time. If you were young, you could have more.
"Grandfather, look, there is a line of small characters embroidered on it, which is always gentle and kind, and you are careful about yourself... and this word 'Shen' seems to have deeper lines than other characters."
Seeing his granddaughter talking and pointing to himself, Duke Zhen, who had no knowledge in this regard, could only cooperate and nod seriously.
"Grandfather, tell me - does the empress want to borrow this fan to remind us of the town government?"
This sudden change of subject caused Duke Zhen's face to change.
"Zhao Zhao, you can't talk nonsense like this."
"I just think there is a possibility." Xu Mingyi slightly lowered his voice, and said, "This fan was sent here on the day you returned to Beijing. Perhaps it was the queen who was in the palace. Empress only has this reminder when she notices something."
Duke Zhen's eyes changed for a moment.
Then he said: "Zhao Zhao must have thought too much, that's the empress."
"It's the empress, that's right." Xu Mingyi said: "But the empress's surname is Wu."
Duke Zhen looked at his granddaughter in surprise.
"Both the Wu and Xu families are important officials who founded the country. Although the Xu family is in the capital and the Wu family is in Ningyang, the situation is still similar. If something really happens to the Xu family and the situation is out of balance, even if the Wu family has no foundation It is deep, but it may not be immune." Xu Mingyi's voice was low but clear: "This time, the grandson of King Dingnan was summoned to the capital, and he encountered bandits on the way. These two things may be worth thinking about carefully."
"Zhao Zhao, who told you these words?" Duke Zhen's eyes showed a hint of inquiry.
"The granddaughter figured it out by herself when she had nothing to do, and she never mentioned a word to anyone else." Xu Mingyi said: "If grandfather thinks it's okay to listen to it, then he will listen to it."
In the night, Wu Chao's expression moved slightly.
Sure enough, it was deliberately told to him——
It is to remind the Wu family not to be careless, and it is also to remind him to be more prepared in Beijing.
But why did she show her affection to him like this?
There will never be goodwill for no reason in this world, not to mention that the Xu and Wu families are not in harmony.
Wu Chao thought about it for a moment, and his face was inexplicably strange.
Maybe I just saw this girl...
He stopped himself from thinking further about this chilling possibility, and strode away.
After taking two steps, he stopped suddenly.
He looked at the thing in his hand——
Just now he forgot to return the things to her.
Women's jewelry is personal belongings, so it would be impolite for him to just take it away.
With that in mind, he raised his hand and wanted to throw it out.
no.
If someone picks it up, and if she accidentally causes some trouble and damages her reputation, then she will inevitably blame him.
Forget it, let him take care of it for now, and then find a chance to return it to her in the future.
Xu Mingyi listened intently for a moment, making sure that the footsteps were far away, and settled down in his heart.
Here, Zhen Guozheng looked at his granddaughter with complicated emotions.
The girls from other people's family spend their time thinking about female red rouge jewelry, while his granddaughter...
"Zhaozhao grows up, I will take these words to heart. Your father and I will take care of everything in the family. Right now, you just need to relax and take care of your body. For the rest, don't worry too much."
"Grandfather, I am already sixteen years old, and I am no longer a child. When grandfather was sixteen years old, he had already started to raise troops to lead the people to settle injustices and worry about the world's affairs—" Xu Mingyi said with firm eyes, "Zhao Zhao He is no more caring than his grandfather, but now he just wants to do his part for the family.
I know that my grandfather is not willing to make me worry about these things. He always just wants me to grow up carefree and live happily. But if the family is in danger, what else can we talk about? "
Duke Zhen was surprised.
In his eyes, he never felt that as a daughter's family, he should be confined to the inner house, but as Zhao Zhao said, he was 'reluctant'. In his eyes, it was his responsibility as the head of the family to protect the Duke of Zhen's mansion. .
The child is not only sensible, but also understands his mood.
Zhen Guogong sighed in a complicated and relieved way.
"I haven't seen each other for a year, and I don't know when Zhaozhao understood this."
Xu Mingyi looked at the old man with gray hair.
She and her grandfather haven't seen each other for more than a year.
"Okay, Zhaozhao is no longer a child, so let's have a heart-to-heart talk today." Lord Zhen Guo sat down by the corridor and waved to his granddaughter.
Xu Mingyi smiled and sat beside him.
The grandparent and grandson talked about the court affairs from the family life, Xu Mingyi looked at the old man beside him, feeling extremely at ease.
She has the best grandfather in the world. He not only loves her and pets her, but also knows how to listen to what she says. As long as what she says makes sense, his grandfather will listen carefully and change his view of her objectively. ignorant child.
"By the way, isn't grandfather discussing matters with several gentlemen in the outer study? Why are you here?"
Hearing his granddaughter's question, Lord Zhen suddenly remembered his purpose for coming to this garden.
"By the way... I'm here to see the young man in the front yard! Did you see him?"
He went to the front yard to ask someone to ask, and when he learned that the other party had come to wander in the garden, he chased after him.
Xu Mingyi asked without answering, "I don't know why grandfather is looking for him?"
"Things have been in a hurry these past two days, and I haven't had time to find out his family background—" Before the matter is confirmed, he can't tell his granddaughter about his unknown guesses.
However, the girl beside him said calmly: "He... the granddaughter has inquired about it, he is the grandson of King Dingnan."
