Chapter 46 46. Grandfather
The days are fleeting.In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.Jiang Shuyao was very excited early this morning.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of family reunion.Therefore, every day before, everyone in the Xuanping Hou Mansion would go to the Biezhuang in the capital to reunite with the old Hou Ye, and stay for a few days by the way.

The other courtyard of Xuanping Hou's Mansion, to put it bluntly, is equivalent to a modern manor, which is actually much bigger than the Hou's Mansion.Moreover, the manor is built half by the mountain, and the fun there is much more than that in Chang'an.

Since they were going to have a reunion banquet, the aunts naturally also wanted to go.And they usually have to live for a short time. In this case, the people and supplies of the Xuanping Hou Mansion used up to six or seven carriages.

A team of chariots and horses set off in a mighty way.

As soon as Jiang Shuyao got into the carriage, she met the smiling faces of her sisters.Obviously, she wasn't the only one who was excited.

It's autumn, and the fruit trees in the manor must be full of fruit.This is also the favorite fun of several people.

Jiang Shuyao felt that this might be because she was used to reaching out for clothes and opening her mouth for meals, and she actually regarded labor as happiness.However, this is not the only reason.After all, Jiang Shuyao used to be a modern person, and after she started working, although her life was not in short supply, it was still very tiring.But even so, she couldn't refuse the joy of picking the fruit.

The last time I went to Biezhuang was a few months ago, and several people were looking forward to it.

"When we went there last time, the fish in that pond were almost as fat as piglets, but they were still so sensitive. This time, I will definitely catch one with my own hands." Jiang Shujing rubbed her hands.

After returning from the last banquet, Jiang Shujing was very depressed for a while.Several people were very puzzled.However, they inquired in every possible way, but Jiang Shujing, who has always been unable to keep the secret, did not mention a word.Even Jiang Shurou, who was best friends with her, failed.

Jiang Shuyao secretly asked people to investigate what happened to Jiang Shujing that day, but they found nothing.Fortunately, Jiang Shujing slowly became lively again, and they were relieved.

"Okay, sisters, did you hear me? Let's go play later, and leave her alone to catch the fish." Jiang Shuyao smiled slyly, causing Jiang Shuhui and Jiang Shurou to cover their mouths and chuckle.

Jiang Shujing was so angry that she threw herself on Jiang Shuyao to scratch her.Jiang Shujing only knew how to do this back and forth, and Jiang Shuyao already knew how to deal with it.She dodged Jiang Shujing's surprise attack with ease, and even scratched her back on the seat.

Jiang Shurou boasted that she was already a big girl, and never joined the fight between the two.Jiang Shuhui is even more so.Looking at the figures of the younger sisters laughing and making a mess, Jiang Shuhui smiled, but couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.

She is already 17 years old, and if she does not marry again, she is afraid that it will affect the reputation of the sons and daughters of the Xuanping Hou Mansion.Mrs. Chen told her yesterday, and she nodded in agreement.

Her status is not easy to find a marriage, and it is easy to find a suitable one, so how can Jiang Shuhui refuse.She knew that Mrs. Chen had really tried her best to do this.When the man sends a matchmaker to the door next time, the marriage will be settled.

Jiang Shuhui silently leaned against the wall of the car.It was autumn at this time, and the carriage had not yet been covered with blankets.The wall of the car was a little cold, and the chill penetrated through her clothes, as if it had penetrated into her heart.

get married.so what?She clearly knew that she didn't have any yearning for getting married.But how could she choose?She is the eldest daughter, if she does not marry, it will affect the marriage of the younger sisters.

Jiang Shuhui felt nauseous for no reason at the thought of performing Zhou Gong's ceremony with a strange man who did not know how many concubines he had had and how many concubines he would have in the future.

Thinking that in the future, maybe she will also look forward to her husband-in-law to accompany her day and night, it makes her sick to her stomach.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Shurou noticed Jiang Shuhui's sudden pale face, and was a little worried.She reached out and touched Jiang Shuhui's hand, which was cold: "Sister, do you need to stop for a rest?"

As Jiang Shurou said, she was about to call the driver to stop.Jiang Shuhui stopped her movement and shook her head.Fortunately, Jiang Shurou's voice was low, and the other two didn't notice the movement here.If Jiang Shuyao saw it, she might have to call for a stop.

"Nothing, maybe it's almost time." Jiang Shuhui said casually.

Jiang Shurou understood, and reminded her to drink some water and keep warm, and then turned back.

Jiang Shuhui breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Shuyao's grandfather, Jiang Lin, is only over half a century old now, except for a few white hairs on his head, he is full of energy, has a strong body, and does not look old at all.

Several people stood in line according to their seniority, and saluted in an orderly manner.

For their arrival, the old man was very happy in his heart, but on the face, he still didn't welcome them very much: "It's only been a few months? You came to disturb my old man again. You just don't want me to live a quiet life."

Jiang Xu was well aware of his father's awkward temperament, but he had no choice but to go along with it: "Father is in good health, so he can't be considered an old man. The son doesn't want to bother his father, but it's just been a few months. Huai'er and the others miss their grandfather very much. No, I can’t wait for my son to bring them here today.”

Jiang Huai: ...

"Really?" The old man half-lyed on the main chair, and after hearing what he said, he opened one eye slightly, and quietly scanned everyone.Seeing that his grandchildren were all here, the corner of his mouth uncontrollably turned up for a moment, and was immediately pressed down again.

"Naturally." Jiang Xu talked nonsense with a natural expression, while quietly squinting his eyes and glanced at Jiang Huai.

As a person who has been blamed all the time, Jiang Huai stepped forward helplessly: "Yes, grandfather. You are really happy here. It's only been a few months, and my grandson misses me very much."

It was really embarrassing for him to be a big man and say "I miss you, grandpa".Therefore, he can only settle for the next best thing, saying that he misses this place.

Fortunately, when Jiang Lin moved here, he completely reorganized this other courtyard according to his own wishes.He praised this place, which can still make the elderly happy.

"Come on, let's have fun." Jiang Lin looked reluctant.

"Yes." Jiang Huai was not lying, he really liked it here.But the happiest thing is that he doesn't have to study those lessons that give him a headache anymore when he comes here to stay.

"Father, how are you doing here?" Chen's relationship with her father-in-law is very good.Her father-in-law loves her like a daughter, so she often treats Jiang Lin like her own father.

"What can I do?" Facing his daughter-in-law, Jiang Lin was much gentler: "I am here, as comfortable as I want. But you, if Jiang Xu makes you angry, just write to me, Even if I am far away in the outskirts of Beijing, I can ride a horse overnight to beat him up." As he said that, Jiang Lin gave Jiang Xu a glare.

"Father, don't worry, Master Hou treats me very well." Knowing that Jiang Lin wanted to beat Jiang Xu for her, Chen's heart warmed a little.But she has long passed the age of being sad for Jiang Xu, and now, she has no dissatisfaction.
