Shangguan Ruoli explained: "The great-grandfather who plays with you every day is the maternal concubine's grandfather, and the great-grandfather who comes today is your father's great-grandfather. They are equally close."

"Oh!" Ling Yao nodded her little head to show that she understood.

At this time, a seven- or eight-year-old boy with a slender figure and strong steps ran in from the second door. The boy was dressed in smart clothes, with a heroic spirit between his small eyebrows, and he walked with a dashing look.

When he saw Shangguan Ruoli leading a little girl who looked like a girl carved from pink and jade, he stopped and saluted respectfully like a young adult, "Greetings to Princess Xuan!"

Shangguan Ruoli hurriedly gave him a hand and returned a half salute, "I've met my uncle."

He looked calm and composed on the face, but the feeling in his heart was really...hard to describe.

And Hao Tianci also knew that he had a higher seniority. The young man looked as mature as a little old man, and he looked at Ling Yao with "kindness" in his eyes.

"Is this Ling Yao?" Even the tone was that of an elder.

Ling Yao looked at him curiously and said in a sweet voice, "Yes, is the little brother my uncle?"

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

Hao Tianci looked like a child who could be taught. He nodded lightly and said in the tone of an elder: "Yes, let's go. Father wants to see you, so I'm here to pick you up."

Saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Ling Yao.

Ling Yao had a good impression of this boy who looked a bit like his father. She held Hao Tianci's hand and said, "Brother, let's go."

The two little guys, one big and one small, walked hand in hand to the outer courtyard, with Shangguan Ruoli following behind.

Haotianci said seriously: "You can't call me little brother, you have to call me uncle."

Ling Yao pouted her pink lips and said: "You are so young and have no beard, how can you call me grandpa? How about this, I call you little brother first, and then I call you uncle grandpa when you grow a beard?"

Hao Tianci thought what she said was reasonable, but he felt something was wrong, "But this is a matter of seniority and cannot be changed."

Ling Yao insisted and said coquettishly: "Since you don't have a beard, I'll call you little brother!"

"Oh! Well, actually, I'm not happy to be uncle or grandpa either." Hao Tianci was also quite troubled.

Shangguan Ruoli followed behind, listening to the two people's childish talk, feeling dumbfounded.

Several people came to the main hall. The officials and squires had left. Now there were Hao Chengzhi, Dongming Ziyu and Xiao Fei in the hall.

When Ling Yao saw Xiao Fei, she let go of Hao Tianci's hand, ran over quickly, and said excitedly: "My great-grandfather, my father gave Yao'er a colorful parrot, which is exactly the same as the one of brother An Ning."

Xiao Feixiao's eyebrows curved, he picked up Ling Yao, sat on his lap, and said with a smile: "You can't just play around all the time, you can't let go of your daily practice."

Ling Yao nodded, "Yeah, I must be a chivalrous woman with strong martial arts skills!"

Hao Chengzhi looked at Ling Yao eagerly, a little envious of the interaction between Ling Yao and Xiao Fei.

In the past few years, although he has added a son and a daughter, they are also twins. They have just turned two years old, which is a fun time. But the feeling between children and great-grandchildren is different.

Giving birth to twins is also hereditary, so Dongming Ziyu must have inherited it from his maternal ancestors.

Shangguan Ruoli respectfully greeted Hao Chengzhi, but Hao Chengzhi quickly stopped him and said, "Princess, please don't be polite, ordinary people don't dare to do it!"

After all, he was an elder, so Shangguan Ruoli still gave a half salute, and then called Ling Yao to come over and greet Hao Chengzhi.

Xiao Fei hugged Ling Yao reluctantly.

Shangguan Ruoli knew that he was childishly trying to flirt with Hao Chengzhi, so he glared at him secretly.

No matter what, children still need to have basic manners.

Xiao Fei's beard curled up and he glared back at her, but he still put Ling Yao on the ground and pretended to be generous and said: "Go and salute your other great-grandfather."

As the eldest daughter of Prince Xuan's palace, Ling Yao had been trained in etiquette since she was a child, and she saluted Hao Chengzhi in a decent manner, "Yao'er pays homage to great-grandfather."

Hao Chengzhi smiled kindly, took out two little white rabbits made of luminous pearls from his arms, and handed them to Ling Yao, "Here, these two things, one for you and one for Jing Yu. Give Jing Yu's. Is it okay for him to keep it?"

Ling Yao was very happy to see Jing Yu there and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you, great-grandfather."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Why did grandpa give her such a precious thing? There is no need to waste such a good luminous pearl."

Hao Chengzhi smiled and said: "It's just a toy, nothing precious or precious."

Hao Tianci also took out the greeting gift, which was a pair of identical small daggers. They were very exquisite and the size was just right for a child. "For you and Jing Yu to defend themselves, I also prepared a pair for my twin brother and sister."

Hao Chengzhi looked at Ling Yao lovingly, "I don't know where Jing Yu is, okay? I haven't seen him, the eldest son of Prince Xuan's palace, yet."

Ling Yao pointed to her pink and jade-like little face and said, "Look, have you seen what I look like? My younger brother looks like this too."

Hao Chengzhi smiled fondly: "Really? You are all so handsome!"

Hao Tianci asked in surprise: "Why do my twin brother and sister look so different at all?"

Shangguan Ruoli sat next to Xiao Fei, raised his eyebrows and whispered: "Look at me, I am so strong and healthy, but I still have twins. Are you sure you don't want to marry a stepmother and give me a little uncle and aunt for fun?"

Xiao Fei was disdainful and whispered: "I am not so old and shameless. My great-grandson is so old and I still have a son!"

Shangguan Ruoli glared at him and asked him to speak lower down.

Dongming Ziyu, who had been sitting silently, saw them muttering and glared at them. There were guests around, so they bit their ears as if no one was around and said bad things about the guests. It was really rude.

Shangguan Ruoli blinked his eyes guiltily and changed the subject: "Grandpa, let's celebrate the New Year here. It's rare for us to reunite."

Hao Chengzhi said: "I originally planned to come here to celebrate the New Year, but the two little ones at home are infected with the wind and cold, so it is inconvenient to go out. Anyway, we are close, and we can reunite at any time in the future. The City Lord's Mansion in Yuancheng is reserved for you. .”

Shangguan Ruoli nodded. She really shouldn't celebrate the New Year outside because of her family's responsibility, but she thought wrong.

Hao Chengzhi and Hao Tianci were left to stay one night. They were strict people and couldn't spend New Year's Eve outside, so they returned to Yuancheng in the afternoon.

Fortunately, it was close, and the carriage arrived in half a day.

The house is also well settled and decorated with a Chinese New Year atmosphere, because Dongming Ziyu has sent people over in advance, so there is no shortage of anything in the house.

However, the New Year in the south is warmer than in the north. Some trees are still green. It rained lightly in the past two days and the air is very fresh. Therefore, the scene of snow and lanterns lighting up during the New Year in the north is no longer seen.

Feng Jinxing visited Yue County and Fan County in the past two days to see if there were any business opportunities. These two counties are so poor that the Feng family’s shop has not opened here. After two days of visiting, I feel that there is nothing wrong with being poor. Can't do it.

He didn't come back until the afternoon of New Year's Eve. This would have damaged Dongming Ziyu's diaphragm. Should he throw him out? Or throw him out?

His Royal Highness Prince Xuan was a man of grace, so of course he could not throw the guests away. Instead, he had to serve Feng Jinxing well, so... he sent the two beautiful maids to the guest courtyard.
