Chapter 864: The childhood sweetheart of the Third Highness
After hearing what the old man said, the head of the Su family was powerless to refute.
"Yes, Old Master." The head of the Su family replied: "Everything is subject to Old Master's instructions.
Although he is the head of the family, the old man has the final say in the Su family.
The head of the Su family laughed to himself.
Mrs. Su nodded with satisfaction.
However, his eyes were inadvertent and he saw a small cricket jar placed in the corner of Duobao Pavilion.
The jar is made of white porcelain with celadon glaze, and several clusters of orchids are painted on it.
The old man frowned and said, "Why are such playthings and despondent things placed here?"
The head of the Su family followed the old man's gaze and saw the cricket jar in the corner.
Needless to say, he didn't notice that there was a cricket jar there.
Just as the head of the Su family was about to speak, a little boy of four or five years old ran outside the door.
"Grandpa, I caught crickets..."
The little boy happily ran to the head of the Su family and showed him the crickets in the bamboo cage like a treasure.
"Chengyu, do you still want to meet the old man?" said the head of the Su family.
Only then did the little boy find the old man in the house. The expression on his face couldn't help but change, and he quickly hid the bamboo cage behind him, showing a scared look.
"I've seen the old man..." the little boy stuttered.
His little hands were tightly clasped behind his back to protect his bamboo cage.
The old man looked at the little boy with a dazed expression on his face for a moment.
It seems that many years ago, there was also such a child, and I caught a cricket and showed it to him...
For a moment, the figures of the two boys seemed to overlap.

After Xuanyuan Jin returned to Beijing, he naturally went to the Yang family to visit his uncle and aunt.
Old General Yang's wife has passed away, but several uncles in the Yang family are still very affectionate to their nephew.
"Jin'er pays homage to uncle." Xuanyuan Jin saluted Yang Wei solemnly.
Yang Wei looked at his nephew with excitement on his face. He patted Xuanyuan Jin on the shoulder and said, "It'll be nice to come back..."
Immediately, he pulled Xuanyuan Jin to sit down and ordered the servant to serve tea.
"How is your grandpa?" Yang Wei asked.
"Grandpa is in good health." Xuanyuan Jin said: "Tangbao has been taking good care of grandpa's health. There is no need to worry about him."
In fact, the old general has come back several times in the past few years, and he no longer only focuses on all matters related to the gold mine.
Powers have been delegated somewhat.
However, the entire gold mine is still under the control of the old general.
The old general is not stupid. Since the emperor has given the gold mine to him, of course he will not let it go casually.
My grandson's pocket money needs to be spent inside.
Yang Wei heard Xuanyuan Jin mention Tangbao and said with a smile: "Thankfully, my father had the foresight to recognize Tangbao as his god-granddaughter. It is thanks to her that she has helped take care of your grandfather and fulfilled our filial piety these years."
No matter how sincere Yang Wei's words were, Xuanyuan Jin only regarded them as sincere.
"Tangbao has always treated her grandpa as her biological grandfather. She studied under the Chinese miracle doctor and learned the true teachings of the Chinese miracle doctor. She would ask her grandpa for a pulse every few days and make some health-preserving meals. She also gave her grandpa health-preserving pills to take on a daily basis. Grandpa looked like
On the contrary, his body is stronger than in previous years." Xuanyuan Jin said.
Xuanyuan Jin inherited the Su family's style and would never let go of giving credit to Tangbao at any time.
"That kid has a lot of heart." Yang Wei sighed.
Even though he had once doubted whether the old general's praise for Tangbao was exaggerated because he liked Tangbao, his goddaughter, but now after listening to Xuanyuan Jin's words, he has no doubts anymore.
Although he has not seen this nephew for so many years, but looking at his nephew's demeanor, he knows that this child's spine has not bent, his pride is still there, and he will never lie!
Xuanyuan Jin was very satisfied when he saw Yang Wei's expression became more sincere.
"Where's the second uncle?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
"Your second uncle has gone to the camp. It won't be too late to see you again in the future," Yang Wei said.
As soon as Yang Wei finished speaking, several nephews of the Yang family heard that the third prince was coming and rushed over one after another.
Everyone was very happy to see the ceremony one by one.
Xuanyuan Jin stood up and said, "Excuse me, uncle, please take me to see your aunt."
Yang Wei was naturally happy after hearing this.
My nephew understands etiquette so well, which shows that he is very close to his uncle's family.
The day after Xuanyuan Jin returned to Beijing, he came directly to the General's Mansion, which shows that he valued the General's Mansion very much.
Anyway, the Yang family is Xuanyuan Jin's maternal family, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.
Yang Wei was naturally happy to be close to his nephew.
The eldest lady of the Yang family and others in the backyard have already received the news that the third prince is here.
The eldest lady and the second lady were sitting together talking.
"Alas! After so many years, His Highness is finally back." The eldest lady sighed.
"No." The second lady said with a smile: "Our hearts that have been hanging around can finally be settled a little bit."
The reason why it is a little bit, but not completely implemented, is because the emperor has not yet established a crown prince.
The eldest lady nodded when she heard this, and exchanged a tacit look with the second lady.
As the empress's mother's family, they naturally had great expectations, and the emperor re-consecrated Xuanyuan Jin as the crown prince.
Judging from all the current signs, this is really a possibility.
The eldest lady looked at the little girls in the room.
"Later, His Highness the Third Prince will have to come to the backyard. You guys must not lose the face of our general's palace." The eldest lady warned: "Although the girls in our family are not as proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting as other girls from aristocratic families,
, they have also been raised carefully since childhood, and the Third Highness must not be allowed to think that the girls of the Yang family do not have the grace of our girls..."
After the eldest lady warned her, her eyes fell on her daughter Yang Ran.
This daughter is the one she feels most at ease with.
He always advances and retreats appropriately and behaves in a measured manner.
On the contrary, she is more suitable to be a prince's concubine than the other sisters.
Yes, the eldest lady also had the idea of getting closer to her.
By the way, she had this intention when her two children were still young.
However, the Queen Mother said that she should wait until the children are older to see if they can get along with each other based on their temperament and temperament.
Originally, this matter happened with the witchcraft case, Xuanyuan Jin was deposed as the crown prince, and the eldest lady had already given up her mind.
However, now that Xuanyuan Jin is back and has reached the age of getting engaged, the eldest lady's mind is naturally active again.
The second lady followed the eldest lady's gaze and her eyes also fell on Yang Ran.
"Ran'er loved playing with His Highness the Third Highness the most when he was a child. You two can be considered childhood sweethearts. When the Third Highness comes later, you can talk about the fun times you had together when you were young." The second lady reminded with a smile: "Second.
Auntie still remembers that you kept clamoring that you wanted to be the wife of His Highness the Third."
Yang Ran is her niece, so it would be good if she could marry into the royal family.
Yang Ran's face suddenly turned red after hearing what the second lady said.
"Second Aunt, Ran'er was still young at that time, and what she said was childish, how could it be counted?" Yang Ran said with a blushing face: "Second Aunt, stop teasing Ran'er!"
