Ten days later, in front of the Cui Mansion in Qinghe County, a white-haired old man stood at the main gate holding an old cane, followed by the old housekeeper of Cui Mansion, looking at the city gate from time to time, this old man was Cui Yanmu, the old master of the Cui family in Qinghe.The children of the Cui family in the past stepped forward to ask the ancestor what noble person he was waiting for, the old man smiled and said that it was a distinguished guest, everyone was puzzled, and the housekeeper explained that today's son Cui Hao brought a friend back.Hearing this, the children of the Cui family, who were still ready to stand together to greet the guests with the old ancestor, shook their heads one after another, bowed to Cui Yanmu and retreated, and even secretly dissatisfied in their hearts, this old ancestor is too partial, favoring Cui Haorusi?
Come back and greet you out in person?"
Master, why are they like this?
Nuoda is a Cui family, and you have come out to greet the guests, but they are "the old housekeeper is a little uneven."
Cui Yanmu waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Let them go, this is not a business matter, the old man's personal greeting is just a personal relationship, and there is no need to pay attention to pomp." ”But there was a faint disappointment and sigh in these words, even the old housekeeper could understand this matter, so many children of the Cui family did not notice it, sad!
The time was almost noon, Du Shaoqing and his entourage finally entered the gate of Qinghe County, and came to the gate of Cui's family."
Grandpa, why did you come out to greet you personally?"
Cui Hao stepped forward to support the old man and said with concern, at this time, he could see that there were already dense beads of sweat on the old man's forehead.The old butler sighed: "Young man, the master has been waiting for almost two hours. ”"What?
It's all grandchildren who are not good, I knew that I would have hurried away, if grandpa is tired, it will be a good thing" Cui Yanmu waved his hand to stop Cui Hao and said with a loving smile: "Okay, what is it like?"
The old man is fine, the distinguished guest should be greeted in person, don't make people laugh at me, saying that I have no etiquette in Qinghe Cui. ”Du Shaoqing and the others also saw it, and turned over and dismounted from a distance, Du Shaoqing took his daughter's hand and walked quickly in front with Xue Rengui, and a few guys behind him led the horses."
Chang'an Du Shaoqing came to visit Cui Taigong with his family, and you came out to greet him in person, Shaoqing was really uneasy."
Du Shaoqing first performed a junior gift.Cui Yanmu handed over the crutches to the old housekeeper, and stepped forward to support Du Shaoqing with his own hands, this old man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life through three dynasties, a pair of discerning eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, looked Du Shaoqing up and down with appreciation, and nodded after a while: "Good, good, the future is terrifying!"
Doctor Du is here, Cui's Peng is shining, please inside!
Butler, greet several distinguished guests on my behalf. ”The housekeeper took his men and led the horses into the house to settle down, of course, with the tiger, and the old housekeeper was worried all the way about whether the tiger would be disobedient and whether it would harm the horses if it was placed in the stable.The host brought tea to the guest's house to talk, these guys were not qualified to follow, and they were all entertained by the housekeeper, except for the personal guard Xue Rengui.Came to Cui's living room, the two sides sat down, Cui Yanmu was old after all, and he stood for a long time, it was indeed not easy, his legs were a little stiff, and Cui Hao barely knelt down with his support."
Hehe, I'm old and have difficulty moving, which makes the miracle doctor smile."
Old man Cui said humbly.Du Shaoqing arched his hand and introduced to the other party: "This is Xue Li, Xue Rengui, the personal guard of the younger generation, and this is the little girl Du Xuanxuan." ”"The doctor has an inconvenient left hand, so he doesn't need to be polite, I don't pay attention to these old men."
Cui Yanmu opened his mouth and saw that Du Shaoqing had a bandage on his left hand, although he was curious why he came with an injury, he didn't ask much.After looking at Xue Rengui, the old man spoke again and praised: "The old man looks at Xue Zhuangshi who is full of heroic spirit, has the qualifications of a famous general, and the future is limitless!"
”Seeing that Du Shaoqing's guards were all such figures, Old Man Cui was even more satisfied, his grandson could stay with these people every day, it must be a good thing!
Xiao Xuanxuan obediently shouted hello to the old man, Cui Hao reminded with a smile: "Xiao Xuanxuan, this is not called grandpa, my name is grandpa, what should you be called?"
”"Huh?
Uncle Cui is called grandpa, so you must be very old.Uncle's grandfather, what should I call it?
Uncle and grandfather?
No, no, that uncle and grandfather in Chang'an still have black hair" The little girl fell into a tangle, and it seemed that she couldn't figure it out, and her father and mother hadn't taught it."
Xuanxuan should be called Grandpa."
Du Shaoqing touched his daughter's brain and pointed.Cui Yanmu opened his mouth and said: "This little girl looks at the spirit of her body, and she has the blood of His Majesty and Du Xiang, and she is destined to be extraordinary.Child, you can call it whatever you like, just call it grandpa, come and let grandpa see it. ”The little girl looked at such a kind old man, as if she was very likable, with Cui Hao's encouragement, she walked generously to Cui Yanmu's side, smiled sweetly, the old man reached out and pulled the child to sit beside her, touched her hair lovingly, obviously very fond.After a while, Old Man Cui took out a fine silk handkerchief from his arms, which revealed a turquoise bracelet, and he knew that it was an antiquity by looking at the appearance, and put it on Xiao Xuanxuan's right hand with his own hands.Du Shaoqing hurriedly excused himself and said, "Elder Cui, no, it's too precious." ”"Hehe, it's not worth anything, this child's old man likes it very much at a glance, and he fell in love with me, this jade bracelet has not waited for the owner on me for many years, and this child is fated to be regarded as a gift from the old man to the child, and it cannot be shirked."
Cui Yanmu said.Du Shaoqing couldn't refuse, so he could only take it, only Cui Hao next to him knew that this bracelet was left by his grandmother, and his grandfather had always carried it closely."
This bracelet is so beautiful, Xuanxuan likes it so much, thank you, grandpa, can I ask you a question?"
Xiao Xuanxuan looked up at Old Man Cui curiously."
Of course!""
Your white beard looks so fun, it's more beautiful than Master's parents and grandfather's, snow-white and snow-white, when you sleep at night, does your beard stay inside the quilt or outside?"
Xiao Xuanxuan said curiously.The old man was asked, how many years, there are countless children around him, and he is confident that he can deal with any child's problems, but no one has really asked this question, and he can't answer it."
This, grandpa didn't pay attention, so let's take a look at it when I go to bed at night, how about answering you tomorrow?"
The old man said with a smile."
Huh?
Well, well, the old man must remember to take a look at it at night. ”Xiao Xuanxuan nodded.After Du Shaoqing finished speaking, this old man's kindness is about to be pitted, this question sounds so familiar?
Looking at his daughter's cute appearance, Du Shaoqing wanted to tell his daughter that he shouldn't ask like this, the old man is so old and can't stand such a toss, but it is obvious that his daughter is not intentional, and the old man will inevitably pay attention to it at night when he hears such a question."
Xuanxuan asked Cui Hao to take you to a few friends of the same age to play for a while, okay?
Grandpa chats with your dad and asks you to have lunch later. ”Old man Cui asked Cui Hao to go out with the excited Xiao Xuanxuan.Xue Rengui also found a reason to step down, leaving Du Shaoqing in the living room to accompany the old man, but he didn't know what the old man wanted to talk to him.
