Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 91 The Old Butler's Past

"It's Miss's child, how is Miss now?" Upon hearing his surname, Guan Zhiliang immediately realized that the only son-in-law in the family was named Zhang. Since the child's surname is Zhang, it must belong to Miss.

"Go in and talk, go in and talk." Before he could answer, the old man dragged him in, soaked malted milk for him, and took out biscuits, "Master Sun, come all the way here, be hungry, Get something to eat quickly."

"No need for Grandpa Guan, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, I'm not hungry yet." Zhang Yu watched Guan Zhiliang rummaging around looking for things, as if he wanted to give him all the good things, and said quickly.

"That's fine, wait until noon, let's have a good meal at noon." Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Guan Zhiliang also put down the action of rummaging through the boxes.

"How is Miss? I haven't heard from Miss in the past two years because of my health."

"My mother, my mother" Zhang Yu looked at the expectant expression of the old housekeeper, he didn't know, he didn't know how to tell this old man who regarded his mother as his daughter, about the cruel fact that his mother had passed away.

"What happened to your mother?" Guan Zhiliang looked at Zhang Yu's expression and asked eagerly, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"My mother, she died on the battlefield last year." After all, Zhang Yu said it. There is no way to hide this kind of thing.

Guan Zhiliang's head was stunned in an instant, and his whole body collapsed to the ground. Xie Zhiying was panting heavily, his mouth was wriggling, but he couldn't speak.

"Grandpa, how are you doing? Don't scare me." Zhang Yu wanted to help him up, but the person lying on the ground had no support at all. He tried several times, and it took a long time before he managed to do so. Helping the old man to the chair, looking at the old man's face, Zhang Yu wanted to call for help and send the old man to the hospital.

Just as he was about to go out to call for someone, one hand grabbed him: "There's no need to call for someone, I'm fine, I'm fine, just take it easy, take it easy."

His heart aches so badly, that's Miss, such a good girl, when he was a girl, he saw her growing up, and she just disappeared, just like that.

He cried for a long time, and after a long time, he wiped away his tears, forced a smile, and said to Zhang Yu: "Son, did you scare me?"

"Is Grandpa Guan okay?" Zhang Yu was still a little worried.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can hold on." Although sad, but Zhang Yu was still there, afraid of scaring the child, the old butler cheered up and responded to him.

After that, both of them were silent, but after thinking about it, the old butler asked slowly: "Where's your father?"

"I, my father, my father also sacrificed with my mother."

"Young master is gone, how could it be, both of them are so young, why are they the ones who left, and not me, who was half in the coffin." After Xie's family moved with their family, Miss and Uncle , I didn't dare to meet him on the surface, but my son-in-law secretly made many friends take care of him, and someone secretly delivered the daily necessities, rice, oil and salt at home.

"Then how are you doing, Young Master Sun?" The housekeeper of the old man raised his spirits and asked, since the young lady passed away and the uncle has also gone, he must live well, so that he can replace the young lady and uncle to watch Young Master Sun live a good life go down.

"Grandpa Guan, you can call me Xiaoyu. I'm fine now. I live opposite my sister-in-law. They usually take good care of me. And I went to the Northeast during the Chinese New Year. I went to visit my grandparents and Grandpa."

"How are the master and madam?" Hearing this, the old butler suddenly regained his energy and asked in a hurry. He hadn't seen the master and madam for many years, so he could only learn some news about them by roundabout ways. , they settled down in their hometown in the Northeast, and their lives are not bad.

"Grandma and grandpa are in good health, and grandpa can still chase and beat my second uncle all over the yard with a stick." Zhang Yu didn't dare to say that because of his mother's death, the two old people fell ill and almost didn't come back. come over.

"That's good, that's good, as long as you're in good health." Hearing this, the old housekeeper smiled again.

Turning around, he said again: "Did the second young master mess up the things that the family explained? He is like this every time, rushing to do things, but every time he can't do it, and he will get into trouble a lot of times, and every time he will Being chased and beaten all over the yard by the master." When mentioning the matter of Xie Zhiying, the old butler sighed.

"Well, some time ago, my grandfather and the others wanted to send me a package, and my second uncle took the initiative to take over the job, but he forgot to put a letter in it every time. I never knew who sent the package. Some time ago, When I went to the Northeast, I found out that the package was mailed by them when I accidentally chatted." Every time Zhang Yu thought about what his second uncle was doing, Zhang Yu still wanted to laugh.

"Hahaha, this seems to be something that the second young master would do. The second young master has been like this since he was a child. He likes to take care of things and grab those jobs, but he always makes mistakes." The old housekeeper replied with a smile.

"Grandpa Guan, can you tell me about the past?" Zhang Yu was very curious about the past of Xie's family, but none of the elders told him. Just ask.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you. The Xie family are all good people, all good people!" That's right, if they weren't good people, how could they pull him out of the mud.

Zhang Yu chatted with him for a long time before he learned about the past of the Xie family. Although the people in charge of each generation of the Xie family are very low-key, there are only those shops on the surface, and they are kind and willing to do good. Man has never torn his face.

But none of these can stop the prying eyes of interested people. They don't know where they heard that the ancestors of the Xie family left a batch of gold and silver treasures. Every generation of the Xie family will put three layers of their annual income into their own treasure house.

After knowing this, those people became greedy. They wanted to prove that they could not find the things left by their ancestors, but the accumulation of [-]% of the income of Xie's family for so many generations is not a small fortune.

Originally, he could handle Xie's family by himself, but that caring person also felt that he could not take down Xie's family alone, so he turned around and spread the news. Seeing the Xie family take a bite, but they did not expect that the head of the Xie family would be so decisive.

As Guan Zhiliang talked, he also remembered his own past. When he was born, the Qing court was still there. His mother fell over seven months ago because of family work, which caused his mother to have dystocia. The little sister in the belly left together, leaving only him and his brother.
