Rebirth of the Phoenix

The old lady couldn't see anything, and when she was eating, she repeatedly asked the maid to bring food to Zhang Xiu, "I haven't seen you for so many years, grandma has forgotten what my grandson likes to eat, so I let the servants make something casually, if you If you have any favorite dishes, you can tell grandma, grandma, grandma will make it for you."

"Don't worry about it, Grandma|Grandma, the dishes are all very good, I like them all." Zhang Xiu thought it would be difficult for him to call out this title, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

"As long as you like it, as long as you like it." The old lady smiled kindly.

Zhang Xiu originally wanted to finish the meal in peace, but the old lady couldn't stop asking about life in the academy, so she had to keep answering.

"I knew that my grandson is the best." The old lady smiled. She had the attitude that her grandson would love her as much as possible. After so many years of guarding this huge Duke's mansion by herself, she finally hoped for a successor, old man People can be regarded as guarded so that the clouds will open and the moon will shine.

After dinner, Zhang Xiu wanted to help the old lady go back to the room to rest, but was stopped by the old lady with a wave of her hand, "You go back to rest too, you have worked hard all the way."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu thought for a while, and followed. After all, she still wanted to give the old man a good impression. "My grandson hasn't returned for many years. I'm coming home today. I still want to serve my grandma|grandma to rest." So she stepped forward to support the old lady, which made the old lady burst into tears and called her "good grandson" repeatedly.

Waiting for the old lady to fall asleep, Zhang Xiucai left the room lightly, "Master, I have prepared hot water for you." As soon as he entered the yard, Lai Fu, who had returned to the yard early, stepped forward and said.

Zhang Xiu nodded, and walked into the room first, followed by Laifu. Just as Zhang Xiu was about to undress, he caught someone out of the corner of his eye, "Get out."

Laifu was a little baffled. He looked around and pointed at himself, "Me? Master, are you talking about me?"

"Get out." Zhang Xiuxiu frowned slightly, her tone was three points heavier than before.

Laifu was startled, and quickly rolled out of the house, but he didn't dare to go far, so he had to watch outside the door.

Zhang Xiu hung the changed clothes on the screen, and then sat down in the bucket. It had been a long time since she had such a comfortable bath. Zhang Xiu was in a daze, and almost fell asleep while soaking until... …"Master, are you alright?" Lai Fu outside asked worriedly.

Zhang Xiu got up quickly, "I didn't call you, get out!" Following this sentence, Laifu was hit on the forehead by a ring, and then fell to the ground, while Zhang Xiu wiped his body and dressed properly, It didn't take long before he came out from behind the screen, "I don't like having people around me when I'm taking a bath the most, and... I'm going to rest, master. Go and get me a new screen tomorrow." Saying, don't After closing the door, only Laifu felt his forehead aggrievedly, and went back to rest by himself.

The next day, the old lady woke up early in the morning, and then heard about the screen, she took a sip of warm water leisurely, "It's just a screen, so you don't need to report such things in the future. Looking for a good grandson, I would like to thank Mrs. Dingguo Hou, Jinse, take a gift and go to Dingguohou's mansion to thank Mrs. Hou for the old man." Then, the old lady put down the teacup, "Yuanhua, go get the Fu called, I want to hear about Xiu'er's situation." Although the old lady heard Zhang Xiu's verbal account yesterday, people always report good news but not bad ones. Previously, Zhang Xiu's status might not be able to live well in the academy.

Laifu is a fine person, he had already inquired about these things clearly in the academy, and was waiting for this day, when he was summoned by the old lady, he immediately rushed over and told everything he knew like pouring beans. Before entering the school and talking about the end of the semester, "The young master lived in Dingguohou's mansion before entering the school. On the day of the entrance examination, the young master took the exam with Kong Quan, the nephew of the vice president, and he was surnamed Kong. No points for riding and shooting... Marquis Wen His son, You Xiang, joined|entered the class, and he was in trouble with the young master everywhere..." and so on, it was so emotional that if you didn't look carefully, you thought it was a storyteller in a teahouse.

The old lady's attitude has always been very calm, except when talking about Kong Quan and You Xiang, "It's just a son of a concubine, but I really regard myself as a person." The old lady closed her eyes, took another sip of warm water, Handed it to Yuan Hua who was on the side, Yuan Hua hurriedly took it and put it on the table, "Yuan Hua, help the old man to Xiu'er's room, the old man wants to watch Xiu'er get up and wash up." The connection is still there. For so many years, the old lady is like a dry well. It was not until Zhang Xiu came back that she came back to life again.

When Zhang Xiu opened her eyes, she saw the creases on the old lady's face. After she was startled, the memory in her mind told her who it was, so she took a breath and said angrily, "Grandma, Why are you here?" She didn't notice that the tone seemed coquettish.

"Scared my grandson?" The old lady smiled, her grandson's coquettishness made her feel very comfortable. Although she hadn't seen her grandson in ten years, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is still there, and the old lady is also grateful to God, "Grandma|grandma I want to wipe my grandson's face and dress, I don't know when I will go at this age, it's rare that you have not yet become an official, grandma wants to take good care of you."

Zhang Xiu was going to refuse, but after hearing this sentence, she fell silent, "Grandma, just this time, don't do this next time." She silently let the old lady wipe her face with a handkerchief. After wiping, he rubbed Zhang Xiu's face with his hands, "You really look like, you really look like, Xiu'er, you really look like your father."

Zhang Xiu didn't respond to this, and she didn't know how to respond. The word "father" was an unbearable memory in her heart, so she pursed her lips.

But was misunderstood by the old lady, the old lady comforted, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, Xiu'er will always remember, even if Xiu'er really forgot, it doesn't matter, your parents won't blame you. The old lady patted Zhang Xiu's face, "Get up quickly, grandma will dress you."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help feeling glad that she never took off the chest cloth to sleep. She stood up while still wearing her underwear, and Yuan Hua directly held the clothes to the old lady's side. It was about to put it on for Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu put on the clothes and let the old lady tie the clothes for herself in front.

"Oh, my good grandson is so tall." When she said this, the old lady sighed, "I have already sent someone to give a gift to the girl of Feng's family. This time you can come back and you will have more people. Benefactor of our family, you have a better attitude." The old lady was still babbling, Zhang Xiu nodded in response, a warm current surged in her heart without mentioning it.

Three days later, Zhang Xiu was startled by a maid in the early morning. She saw that the maid had heavy makeup on her face and was dressed in green clothes with a very low neckline. She opened her mouth and shut up and said that the old lady asked her to serve , was immediately stopped by Zhang Xiu, "I can't afford someone like you here, you go back." Zhang Xiu waved his sleeves, impatient to care about such a maid, and Lai Fu waved him with insight. Retired the servant girl, "Go, don't delay the young master's study."

The servant girl backed away with tears in her eyes, but Zhang Xiu didn't even look at it.

During dinner, the old lady hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Xiu'er, grandma doesn't know what you like, what kind of girl do you like, tell grandma, grandma Once the milk is selected, it will be delivered to your yard."

Only then did Zhang Xiu understand what it was. She didn't expect her to live so long that she could have a housemate. She couldn't laugh or cry, "Grandma, Xiu'er just wants to study hard and strive to serve the country as soon as possible. I'm not in the mood now." Her tone was neither soft nor hard.

The old lady clicked her tongue secretly, "I really hope you hurry up, you are the only seedling in our Zhang family, grandma|grandmother's life is not long, and I look forward to being able to hold a great-grandson as soon as possible." The old man is still babbling with.

"Grandma|Grandma, you will live a long life." Zhang Xiu said firmly, she shook the old man's hand vigorously, "As for children, if my wife hasn't entered the house, I will have a bastard. Such a rule is not good, is it No good family will marry in." When Zhang Xiu said this, she thought it was absurd when she thought of her own status, but in the end she still had to say, "Xiu'er is still looking forward to a daughter-in-law coming in and honoring grandma with Xiu'er, I'm still looking forward to grandma|grandmother taking care of Xiu'er's children in the future."

"You skinny monkey, dare to point at grandma to bring you a doll, dare to use grandma as a nanny." The old lady laughed heartily, stretched out her finger and tapped Zhang Xiu's forehead.

"Isn't it? Grandma can bring out such an excellent person as Daddy, isn't it great." Zhang Xiu said coquettishly.

"Oh, Grandma|Grandma can't beat you, you monkey is getting better and better at talking." The old lady smiled happily.

After that, the matter of housekeeping was settled, and there were no more beautiful maids in the yard. In the Zhang family, Laifu was the only person Zhang Xiu could use easily, but she was too lazy to remember the names of the other maids. In her opinion, after the old Duke left, the plaque in the mansion had already been changed, and the title of the Duke's son had been confiscated long ago, so she was the only one she could rely on, but... maybe, the old Duke The connections of Gongnian Manchao's disciples can help her, but they can't help too much, she still depends on herself.

On this day, an outing post was sent to Zhang's house. Looking at the fat man's scribbled signature at the end, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but smile. After leaving for dozens of days, it was a long time since I saw them. Xuan Bin, Fatty and ... Yun'er.

Laifu on one side stretched his neck and wanted to read the content of the post, but he couldn't see it, but the young master's expression...why does he look so like the second dog next door who misses his wife?

After accepting the post, Zhang Xiu said to the old lady during dinner, "Traveling? It's a good thing, go, go, they are all your classmates? Do you have a baby girl?" Without saying a word, the old lady paid attention That's about it.

"...Yes, girls from the Feng family and the He family." Zhang Xiumo.

"Oh, the girl from the Feng family|grandmother knows, but whose family is the girl from the He family? How old is she this year? What does she look like?" The old lady asked without panting.

"...Grandma|Grandma, Miss He's father is the servant of the household department, but Miss He's body is too poor, and my grandson doesn't like it." Zhang Xiu has already got how to correctly reject the old lady, yes, there must be a reasonable The old lady will die if she refuses for a reason.

Sure enough, the old lady became wilted when she heard it, "If you are not in good health, you will not be able to give birth. Forget it." At the end, she added, "Just go, don't play around for too long, come back early."

"En." Zhang Xiu responded directly.

It's just that Zhang Xiu was too naive. When she saw the people who came on the day of the outing, she knew that she would not be able to go back to this cliff.
