Chapter 670: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (24)
"You!" Xiangsi looked at the man in front of her with surprise and suspicion.
Of course she knew the other person. This man was obviously the young master of the family for whom she apologized on behalf of Liang Huaixin last time.
Because the other person was beautiful, Xiangsi was dazed at the time, but when she heard the other person calling her original name, she was very surprised!
"Red beans also represent lovesickness, and they are more subtle!" Xiao Chenliang paused and continued, "And lovesickness seeds are poisonous, not as good as red beans! Although it sounds a bit vulgar, the most vulgar is the most elegant.
If my daughter doesn't like it, I can give her a more elegant nickname in the future."
The clear voice said what her mother had said many years ago. Xiangsi's eyes were a little moist, and she asked with some trembling: "Who are you?"
Xiao Chenliang sighed and said, "There is a tall tree in the south, and I can't stop thinking about it! Doesn't Hongdou remember me?"
"Brother Mu?" Xiangsi stared at him in disbelief with eyes wide open. "You are Brother Mu? But how come your legs are like this?"
Xiao Chenliang looked at Xiangsi tenderly and said, "Let's not talk about my leg first. Where have you and your family been all these years? Do you know? We are going crazy looking for your whereabouts!"
Tears sparkled in Xiangsi's eyes, with the joy of reunion, but also a lot of confusion: "Brother Mu, you said that the three families are looking for us, who else is there besides you!"
"Our Xiao family, your father's Xu family, and your mother's Sun family!" Xiao Chenliang's eyes were full of doubt, "Hongdou, do you forget your life experience?"
Xiang Si didn't say anything, but lowered her head a little embarrassedly. After a long while, she said, "I only remember that my grandparents seemed to be quite rich. My parents didn't tell me much about other things. Maybe they did tell me, but I don't remember many things."
Xiao Chenliang sighed and began to talk about Xiangsi's life experience.
It turns out that Xiangsi's father Xu Lekang is the youngest son of the Xu family. Because Xu's mother was over 40 years old when he was born, he was a son born in old age.
Moreover, Xu Lekang's health has not been very good, so the elders in the family did not have too high expectations of him. After all, he already had several outstanding brothers before him.
Of course, compared to those things of fighting for fame and fortune, Xu Lekang prefers the life of a free and easy wanderer.
He didn't have many hobbies in his life. Apart from reading and playing chess, he would go to the Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing to listen to the Taoist priests preach. Over time, he met Sun Yanyan, the youngest daughter of the Sun family, who shared the same hobbies with him!
Both of them were born into aristocratic families, had the same growth background, the same hobbies, and were both spoiled by their families. The two people with similar values quickly developed a liking for each other.
The Xu family and the Sun family were already good friends, and with the efforts of all parties, this marriage was made possible.
In order to make the young couple live more comfortably, both families bought several houses in the capital city so that they could freely choose where to live!
But sometimes people can't live a smooth life, especially young masters and young ladies who don't know the dangers of the world!
And the more books you read, the more you tend to think!
The two had lived a good life in the capital, and suddenly they wanted to settle down in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, saying they wanted to see the misty south of the Yangtze River.
Of course the Xu and Sun families disagreed, but they could not persuade these two "darlings".
In the end, I agreed to their idea, but we also agreed that they could not stay in Jiangnan for a long time. Once they had children, they must return to Beijing before the children were eight years old at the latest.
Don’t let your children’s studies be delayed—this goes for boys and girls!
In addition to the guards of the two families, those who set out with them included Princess Nanyang, Xiao Chenliang's mother, who was also going to Jiangnan first, and of course Xiao Chenliang, who was almost four years old.
Xu Hongdou was born in the first year this group of people arrived in Jiangnan.
At that time, Xu Lekang said that the feng shui of Jiangnan was good. They had been married in Beijing for two years but had no children. Now, just one year later, they had a baby daughter.
In the following years, they lived next to Xiao Chenliang's family. Xiao Chenliang liked this little sister very much. After Xu Hongdou could speak, he often took her out to play.
His nickname was Qiao Mu, but Xu Hongdou was too young to remember it, so she started calling him "Brother Mu Mu!"
At first Xiao Chenliang tried to correct her, but later he thought it was quite special and let her do as she pleased.
When Xiao Chenliang was about ten years old, his mother, Princess Nanyang, returned to the capital, and the two families lost contact.
Because Xiao Chenliang knew that the Xu family would return to Beijing in two years at most, he was not too sad at the time. He even made an agreement with Xu Hongdou: he would go to Beijing first to "explore" and see what delicious and fun things there were, and when she came, they would go out to play together.
But who knew that after this separation we would almost never see each other again.
If Xiao Chenliang had not been interested in the name Xiangsi and asked Amo to investigate the other party, he would not have known that the sister who was so pampered in her childhood actually became a cook.
"Hongdou, why are you going to Anyang City? According to the normal route, your next destination should be Yuening City!" Xiao Chenliang asked a little puzzled.
