C367 Opening (1)
Qiong Yu brought his sister into the hall, and saw the anxious and nervous old lady sitting by herself as if she was waiting for someone.
When the Old Granny saw the two girls enter, he immediately relaxed. This old lady was the 'Grandmother' that Qiong Yu and her little sister had mentioned before.
Although her eldest granddaughter had brought her here, she was someone who had been poor for her entire life. To suddenly enter such a luxurious residence with pavilions and pavilions, she could not help but feel a wave of unease and nervousness.
Seeing the two girls enter, the old lady quickly got up. She first wiped the chair she was sitting on with her shabby sleeve, then asked her granddaughter with some uneasiness, "Have the two of you returned!? Big bastard, where is this place? "Don't even mention those rich families, those rich families have too many rules. We can't afford to offend them."
"Grandmother, you can stay here without worry. Just treat this place as your own home. We don't need to go back to that shabby house!" Qiong Yu consoled the old lady while supporting her.
"Is this your house?" the old lady asked.
"No, it's ?" Qiong Yu shook her head and denied it. Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted.
"This should be sister's master's house. Since sister is working for that person, this house should be given to sister to live in! Elder sister, I guessed right? " His sister interrupted her sister and explained happily to his grandmother.
"Pretty much. Anyway, you can stay here peacefully. You might not get used to it in the beginning, but you'll get used to it after a while!" The elder sister smiled and continued to comfort the elderly. Qiong Yu could not mention anything related to the Listening Rain Pavilion to the two of them, nor could she possibly explain that the place they were standing at was just a base for the Listening Rain Pavilion. Her sister's explanation was also appropriate, at least for the current stage, it was the only way to explain it.
"That's right, grandmother. I worked for the Xiahou family before, so their family's mansion wasn't as big as this place. Their houses weren't even as big as this place, let alone their courtyard wasn't as beautiful as this place." By the way, sister, can I look around? When I was in Xiahou Family, my status was low, I spent most of my time working and staying in my own small courtyard, I was not allowed to go anywhere! " His sister looked around excitedly while jumping up and down as she spoke. But when she mentioned the time when Xiahou Family was working, her tone was also a little desolate and sorrowful; it was even a little regretful and regretful.
If they were working in a large household, they would definitely not be allowed to wander around. Each family had their own rules, and without which, all the servants and maids would dare to barge in, lest they disturb their master's good fortune.
"You can go anywhere you want here, but there are a lot of places you can't go. If someone stops you, that means you can't go in there. Did you hear that?" Qiong Yu heard the sense of loss in his sister's tone, and affectionately said to his sister, but at the same time, he also reminded her of some things to be careful of. After all, this was not a residence for living, but a secret division of the Listening Rain Pavilion. There were many secret rooms and tunnels, although on the surface, it looked like a mansion belonging to a rich family, but in reality, it had its own secrets. If they were to encounter an attack from the outside, this mansion could instantly become a defensive fortress, and in the next second, it could also become a 'ghost house'!
"Yes, I heard it, sister!" To her, allowing her to walk around randomly was already pretty good. There were a few places that she couldn't go to, which was also understandable, since it was much better than the places she went to back in Xiahou Family.
"Grandmother, let's eat first. After dinner, I'll bring you to your room to settle down!" Qiong Yu was satisfied with his sister's understanding, hence he turned and said this to the old lady.
"Big granddaughter, our bunks haven't been moved in yet. How can we live here? Should I go back and pack up before coming over?" The old lady still felt that something was amiss, so after thinking for a while, she said awkwardly.
Everyone said that old people cherished the old. It was true that they had come to such a luxurious mansion, but they were still thinking about the bedding scrolls that she had used for a long time.
"Grandma, look at the environment here. What are those things you don't have here? Don't worry, I've already arranged everything. Besides the spirit tablets from grandfather and parents and some useful things that I brought back, I don't want anything else! Let's get a new one! " Qiong Yu smiled and said to his grandmother.
She had been to that old house before. Although she did not know why her grandmother and sister came to Fengyang City, she could imagine that the fields back home were probably gone, and the broken house in Fengyang City, not to mention the ventilation from all over, would probably not even have the function of shelter from the rain or cold anymore. Not to mention the furnishings and simple daily necessities.
"Yay!" Finally, I have a new blanket. Sis, you don't even know, but it will feel cold if you cover your body with that blanket. Especially in winter, it will be even colder! This is why Grandmother got cold several times, but we don't have the money to buy firewood and light fires, nor the money to buy quilts! " His sister's voice became lower as she spoke, and her tone became more sorrowful. He could only bury it in his heart bit by bit. Originally, he did not want to let his sister know about it, but for some reason, the moment he thought of it, his nose turned sour and all the words in his heart came out at once.
"It's all in the past now. From now on, it won't be like this anymore! It's been hard on you and Grandma for all these years! " Qiong Yu slowly spoke after being silent for a long while. How could she not have thought of it when she had seen their circumstances, and had seen her sister's? He had come here with great difficulty, until he met him!
"Sister, we aren't working hard at all. Even if you don't tell us, Grandmother and I know that you are actually even more tired and tired of living than we are! " When his sister saw the tears welling up in the corners of her sister's eyes, she knew that her words had made her sad. She rubbed her eyes, pretending to be happy as she spoke to her sister.
Just as an old and a young girl were sighing and sighing endlessly, a sound came from outside the house.
Then a candid voice came from outside the house. It sounded like the voice of a middle-aged man and he said, "Haha ?. I have disturbed the relationship between the relatives of Hall Master Qiong Yu, and heard that you found your grandmother and sister, so I prepared some food and wine and personally brought it over to you as a token of my appreciation! "
"What are you saying Big Brother Canghai? It's all thanks to Big Brother Canghai's help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find them so quickly!" Since Big Brother Canghai is here, let's eat together! " Qiong Yu calmed his agitated and sorrowful mood, and said with a smile to the person who came.
The people who came were Qiu Canghai, he and Qiong Yu, who were ordered to stay at Fengyang and carry out the tasks here. As a result, they spent the past few days running around Fengyang, and it was rare for them to gather at the Branch Camp today. And when Qiu Canghai heard that Qiong Yu had brought an elder and a small child to the division, he had guessed their identities and went to the kitchen to arrange the banquet.
If he didn't go to the kitchen to cook, then he wouldn't know. Qiong Yu had arranged a few slightly exquisite dishes. Qiu Canghai knew that this wasn't because Qiong Yu was stingy, nor was it because she couldn't bear to prepare more good things for her relatives. It was probably because Qiong Yu was worried that she owed the pavilion master even more!
Thinking about it, Qiu Canghai thought of something that Gongsun Zhaitian had once told him. Because Qiong Yu was always quiet, it was as if a million things were hidden in his heart. It was not good for her state of mind to stay this way for a long time, so it was necessary to untie the knots in Qiong Yu's heart. Hence, Gongsun Ze Tian instructed Qiu Canghai to find a chance to chat with him and try his best to change the current situation in Qiong Yu.
Thus, Qiu Canghai instructed the kitchen to prepare a few more delicious foods and send them over. On one hand, it was to celebrate their recognition, and on the other hand, it was to take the opportunity to enlighten Qiong Yu.
Of course, with such large fish and meat, Qiu Canghai did not dare prepare them. The main problem was that he was afraid of the old and young, being accustomed to eating stuff like porridge, being suddenly fed with such oily and juicy food, his stomach would not be able to take it.
"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Qiu Canghai nodded.
"Elder sister, is he the master you were talking about?" The younger sister at the side curiously looked at the person who walked in and asked timidly with blinking eyes.
"Haha, little girl, I am not! The master that your sister speaks of is also my superior! " Of course, Qiu Canghai knew who the master that Qiong Yu was talking about was. She had secretly called Gongsun Ze Tian master, because she wanted to use her life to repay Gongsun Ze Tian for his kindness. Thus, he joked to Qiong Yu's sister.
"Then is he fierce? Will they beat you or curse you? " His sister was even more curious about the person her sister called 'master'. If even such a mighty person could be her subordinate, then wouldn't this person be even more ferocious? Thus, he asked bluntly.
"Little sister, shut up. You can't be so rude!" Qiong Yu was extremely embarrassed, her own sister was publicly criticizing the pavilion master, this matter was truly impressive, thus she shouted for her to stop.
"Oh!" The younger sister lowered her head, feeling wronged, as she answered with a soft 'oh'.
"Don't worry about it, Pavilion Master will not take offense!" Little girl, when you see him, you can ask him yourself! " Qiu Canghai shook his hand, smiled, and said this to Qiong Yu, then bent over to softly reply to her sister.
"Then let me ask him, will he be angry enough to chase sister away? If he gets angry, he can punish me, and not make things difficult for my sister. As long as grandmother and sister are well, it doesn't matter how much he punishes me! " His little sister's mood had obviously been eased by Qiu Canghai's tone, and after that, she asked him a question in a weak voice. Finally, he looked worriedly at his sister and pleaded.
"Little sister, I have to admit that your imagination is really rich! "Haha ?" Qiu Canghai was amused by the little girl as he laughed towards the sky. If Gongsun Zaitian was someone who got angry just because he said so, would they still follow him and be loyal to him?
