    As soon as he left the house, he saw an old man and a young man coming over. Xie Qiao knew that it must be his grandfather and his eldest cousin. When they got closer, everyone hurriedly greeted them and crowded into the house. Only then did Xie Qiao see the two of them clearly.

    My father, Xie Yiyue, is very similar to my grandfather. Although he is an old gentleman, his whole body is filled with a strong scholarly spirit. He is extremely well-maintained and energetic.  The cousin, Xie Baoshu, has handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, and a lot of brilliance, which reminded Xie Qiao of that allusion, such as the orchid and jade tree. He wanted it to grow on the steps of the courtyard, and the Xie Baoshu tree was indeed worthy of its name.

    But the old man said that as soon as he returned home today, he received a letter saying that the third girl had arrived, so he came to the back house to see his direct granddaughter.  Among the three sons, the old man liked the third one the most since he was a child, because although he has a somewhat old-fashioned temperament, he is a good material for reading.  The old man himself likes to read, so naturally he also likes hard-working children.

    The third son is also really ambitious. He did not rely on the legacy of his ancestors, but became an official through the imperial examination.  Although he is only a fourth-grade magistrate now, Xie Yiyue, a descendant of a family like them, is rare.  Although Xie Yishan, the eldest son, is a noble, he has a ridiculous personality. He only sleeps in flowers and willows every day, and hangs out with a bunch of friends.  What is gratifying is that we have an outstanding legitimate son, otherwise the Xie family may be ruined in his hands in the future.

    Xie Baoshu¡¯s eldest grandson is not only a good child, but also has a good temperament. Unlike his biological father, he follows his third uncle and likes to study and study hard.  Now he is a student of the imperial eunuch. In the eyes of the old master, his third son Xie Yiyue and his eldest grandson Xie Baoshu are his most proud descendants.

    Therefore, since the third son was released, whenever there was an important social event, he would take his eldest grandson with him, hoping to let him see more of the market and gain more knowledge.  What the old man has always been worried about is that the number of children in the third wife's family is very few. Although he married a noble daughter from an official family, he only gave birth to a legitimate daughter, and she was born with deficiencies since she was a child.  He is sick for more than half of the year. Although he is smarter than ordinary people, one is a girl, and it is of no use that he is smart and can read. The other two, in previous years, looking at the description, are not easy to raise.  Big, I'm afraid that all my efforts will be in vain.

    Therefore, although Xie Qiao was smart since childhood, the old man did not pay much attention to his direct granddaughter.  Now it was just a formality, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he took a quick look and was stunned. The corridor was full of mistress girls and maids, and he saw the little girl next to his estranged wife at a glance.

    What a decent and grand girl's house, her appearance still vaguely resembles that of the old days, but her aura has really changed her, and she is almost unrecognizable.

    The old man sat down. His wife had already placed the soft cushion on the ground. Xie Qiao took two steps forward, knelt down and kowtowed:

    "Granddaughter Xie Qiao meets her grandfather"

    The old man raised his hand slightly and said kindly:

    "Okay! Get up"

    The old lady pointed at Xie Baoshu and said:

    "Third girl, this is your big brother"

    Xie Qiao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed half-crouched:

    "I've met my elder brother"

    Xie Baoshu said hurriedly:

    "Brothers and sisters, why are you so polite? My sister has had a hard time on her journey, but my third uncle is okay"

    Xie Qiao nodded slightly:

    "My father has always been in good health, but now that my mother is gone and I am not around, I always feel a little worried."

    After hearing this, the old lady took her hand and said:

    "You are a filial child. There are people around your father who will take care of you. You don't have to worry about this. You just want to live here with peace of mind and study and have fun with your sisters. When your father reports his work and returns to Beijing, naturally  Father and daughter can get together¡±

    The old man secretly inspected Xie Qiao for a while and saw that she was well-founded in her advances and retreats. Although she was young, her words were very organized. He couldn't help but nodded secretly and asked in detail about the past few years.  I mainly asked about my homework, what books I read, where I read it, whether I asked my teacher, etc

    Xie Qiao answered them one by one. For those that were not very clear, he made up one or two of them based on his own measurement.  Grandfather asked when he was satisfied and said:

    "You are quite smart, but unfortunately you have suffered from serious illness and minor disasters since childhood. Now that you are healthy, it is better to read more of this book. Even though you are a girl, it is good to understand more principles."

    As he said that, he pointed at Xie Baoshu:

    "That's it for other brothers. Your eldest brother is studying at Taixue and is a diligent student. If you don't understand something, don't ask your teacher. You can ask your eldest brother."

    Xie Qiao was slightly startled and glanced at Xie Baoshu quietly. Seeing that Xie Baoshu listened to his grandfather's words, he smiled kindly:

    "Sister, if you have anything to do, just come to me.In the house, find a suitable mother-in-law to take care of it. After Bao Yuexuan has tidied up, let the girl decide how to tidy up.  Also, call in the girls and women who are serving the girl, and let me take a look."

    Qiao Yue agreed, blessed Fu, and walked out.  Not long after, Mother He and Nuanyue walked in with their heads lowered, knelt down and kowtowed. The old lady obviously knew Mother He, and knew that Mother He was a respectable servant brought here by the third daughter-in-law, so she hurriedly asked the little girl to help her.  He stood up and said:

    "I was worried that the mother-in-law who followed the girl didn't know the details, but it turned out to be you. I was relieved. I have always known that you are loyal and reliable. I will pay more attention to your girl in the future. Although you have a stable temperament, after all  If you are younger, teach her more about things she doesn¡¯t know. If you bully a girl who is thin-skinned and gossiping, you have to set the rules for me. If you hit or scold her, it¡¯s your fault.  I have to punish you. In fact, those who are unruly and disobedient to discipline have come back to me in person. It is proper to drive them out directly. Don¡¯t ruin the good reputation of the girl¡¯s family.¡±

    Mother He nodded quickly, but felt greatly relieved.  Originally, she was worried. Although the third girl was a serious mistress, she did not have her mother by her side and her father was far away.  I was deeply afraid of being bullied in the deep courtyard of Xie Mansion.  Looking at this situation now, it seems that the old lady has caught her eye as soon as she came here. With such a big backer as the old lady, I think the girl's life should be much smoother.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
