Chapter 177

After seeing Yancao, Ye Kui took Qin Sang to Chang'an Lane again.

Qiu Nian drove forward steadily.

Ye Kui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After riding so many carriages, no one is as stable as the autumn year's carriage. If it wasn't a long way, she would never feel dizzy. She was relaxing, and the carriage suddenly turned a corner, which scared her.

Chang'an Lane is the poorest place in Fengcheng. When he heard the name, Ye Kui couldn't help but remember the name of the alley that lived with Xiao Yunniang when he was young.

The alley is called Changping Alley, which means long-term peace and tranquility. But in fact, the alley is not very calm, but is often noisy. Because most of the people living there are peddlers and barbarians, most of them are vulgar people, and they speak loudly, and they always have nothing to say. At the middle of the night, drunk people occasionally come to smash the door. Xiao Yunniang, a widow, dares not sleep peacefully every day, and before the sky is dark, he has tied the door.

There are so many troubles in front of the widow's door, let alone at this time. It is actually very difficult for Xiao Yunniang to bring the siblings and sisters alone to such a big age. No wonder she became like that. With such great pressure, how can she not collapse?

Xiao Yunniang's mother, Lin, is in a situation that is more difficult and sad than Xiao Yunniang. How did she survive?

"Qin Sang, is my grandmother really still alive?" Ye Kui was still a little disbelief and couldn't help asking again to confirm.

Qin Sang nodded and said, "It's true that he is still alive, and he is healthy."

Ye Kui pursed her lips and said nothing, but she felt that she had already admired her grandmother a little more before she met.

This is an era when it is particularly unfair to women. It is difficult for women without husbands to survive.

So whether it is Xiao Yunniang or Lin, they are all strong women worthy of admiration.

"The news from Jiu Ye's inquiry said that Lin had been selling food at the stall during the day, and at night he took some embroidery work to raise his uncle." Qin Sang said, and couldn't help but admire Mrs. Xiao.

Such a thing happened to the Xiao family, and no one intends to rehabilitate the Xiao family. The Lin family brought Xiao Shengshu's children and Xiao Jing, who is now the only bloodline of the Xiao family, has struggled to survive. Because they are in Fengcheng, they naturally can only act in a low-key manner. It is probably because of this that the Lin family chose to live in Chang'an Lane, which is the least likely to be discovered.

But Lin An cannot get a fame and fortune, nor can he open a shop in a business, and they cannot do anything that needs to be enrolled in the government.

Life is so difficult, why does the Lin family have to stay in Fengcheng?

Now Lin An has been married, and he is just a scholar's daughter. If he changes it, he is a scholar's daughter with gold inlaid, but he is not worthy of Lin An named Xiao Yan. Even if he is just a concubine's son, he is also the third master of the Xiao family. With the glory of the Xiao family back then, it is not impossible to marry a daughter born in the aristocratic family.

But now, everything has become empty.

The sound of horse hooves was clattering, and it suddenly became noisy outside.

Someone was arguing and blocking the intersection.

"Get out of the way." Qiu Nian's voice was calm but cold, and the outside of the carriage suddenly became quiet.

A rustling sound followed by a sound of horse hooves again. Ye Kui suddenly heard a voice outside and said, "Children's father, are you okay?"

Ye Kui suddenly lifted the curtain and looked out. A lilac woman held a tall and thin man and whispered. Ye Kui's eyelids twitched, and the woman seemed to notice someone was looking at them, and quickly turned her head and looked towards Ye Kui.

The curtain fell suddenly.

Ye Kui's hand was still on the curtain, and she was stunned and couldn't come back to her senses.

"Miss Second, what's wrong? But what's wrong?" Qin Sang couldn't help but ask worriedly when he saw her strange appearance.

Ye Kui suddenly closed her eyes and said, "I'm afraid I've recognized the wrong person."

Seeing that she seemed to mention it unintentionally, Qin Sang had to stop asking, but instead went outside to ask how far it would be before Qiu Nian would arrive.

At the entrance of Chang'an Lane, Bai supported Ding Duoshou and looked at the direction where the carriage was leaving, frowned in confusion: "Children's father, I seem to have seen Xiaoyezi just now."

Ding Duoshou patted the gray on his trouser legs and sneered: "We are in Fengcheng now! The girl picked up by my elder brother's house is naturally still in Taohua Village! Besides, how old was that girl when we left? Now that I am standing in front of you, I'm afraid you won't recognize her anymore!"

"That's true, so many years have passed..." Bai's gaze retracted, "But at first glance, I immediately remembered Xiao Yezi, and I don't know why."

Ding Duoshou dragged her forward for two steps and said, "No matter whether you can know that girl now, even if you can, do you think that girl will appear here? You didn't see the carriage clearly just now, but I understand it. Although the carriage is not big, the horse pulling the carriage is not ordinary. What other poor people can the people in the carriage be?"

After the words were finished, Bai Shi also sneered: "You are so smart! Why don't you think about it? If this is a car from a wealthy family, how could it drive into Chang'an Lane?"

Ding Duoshou thought that this is true, but he was unwilling to lose face, so he had to hold on and say, "Okay, okay, it's all our business, I love whoever I love!"

Bai smiled and patted him lightly, and the two walked towards the front.

At the same time, the carriage has arrived.

After finding a remote corner, Ye Kui had no intention of getting off the bus directly. He came to the door and said rashly that I was your granddaughter. Isn’t this a strange thing? Besides, whether Lin is willing to recognize them has to be said.

The autumn year is not urged, and I just drive the carriage quietly without making a sound.

After waiting for a while, Qin Sang stared outside the curtain and lowered his voice and said, "Uncle is back."

Ye Kui leaned over and saw a young man in a blue cloth shirt walking quickly into a mottled wooden door.

With a glance, Ye Kui even thought she had seen Xiao Yunniang.

This illegitimate uncle actually looked so much like Xiao Yunniang! Does this mean that Xiao Yunniang was born like Xiao Sheng, who was old? But her feminine appearance seemed to be inconsistent with Xiao Sheng's image no matter how she felt it was, right?

However, some parts of her eyebrows and eyes looked quite similar to Xiao Yunniang, and they were somewhat heroic, diluting the excessive elegance.

Just as he was thinking, Qiu Nian said outside: "Xiao Jing was born quite like the old General Xiao, who was much like the old man and second master who were no longer there."

It's really like this?

Ye Kui couldn't help but imagine how her grandfather, who had been dead for more than ten years, was invincible on the battlefield? He could not be seen as a person, which was basically fully reflected by him.

Lin looked at a child who looked like a deceased husband every day, but he didn't crawl out of his stomach, and didn't know what it felt like in his heart.

"Miss, the old lady is out!"

Ye Kui hurried to look, but only saw one side face-

A round face, smiling.

It actually has no similarity to the Lin family she imagined!

I thought that even if I was not a very cold and ruthless person, I should have been like Mrs. Ye, but how could it look like this? It really made people unable to be wary and unwilling to be scheming in front of her.

Just looking at her face makes people feel that she is a very kind person.

But Ye Kui knew in her heart that even if Lin was really a kind person, she was also an extremely firm and resourceful person. If it weren't for this, Xiao Yan, who has changed his name to Lin An, would not have lived to such a big life, nor could he have married and had children well.

How to survive is the most difficult proposition in the world.

Not only did Lin survive, she also raised the son of the concubine. She was definitely not as easy to get along with as she looked.

Ye Kui forgot to put down the hand that was lifting the curtain.

At this moment, the grandson who had just turned two years old in his hand suddenly pointed to the carriage where Ye Kui and the others were and said, "Grandma, someone is watching us there!"

The little boy's voice was surprisingly loud and crisp, which scared Ye Kui so much that he loosened his hands and put down the curtain in panic.

"Miss Second Miss, Mrs. Xiao is here." Qiu Nian said outside, and the sound that seemed to be uneven in the past was rare to bring some Zhang Huang with him.

Ye Kui sighed. Since a child was discovered, it was just God's will.

"I wonder who this guy is here to look for?" Lin's voice was a little hoarse, but it also gave people a very comfortable feeling just like her appearance.

"Autumn Year." Ye Kui called out, she had already crawled out of the carriage, "I've seen Mrs. Xiao."

Qin Sang and Qiu Nian also called out "Madam Xiao" in unison.

Lin's face changed drastically, and his hands subconsciously hugged his grandson in his arms. But immediately, her expression returned to normal, and she still looked at Ye Kui with a smile and said, "I wonder which lady this girl is?"

The advantage of talking to smart people is that even if the other party wants to ask questions in a roundabout way, both parties can quickly grasp the key points and communicate.

"Grandma." Ye Kui changed his name and called him.

Lin's hands trembled, and the smile on her face seemed to be a little unsustainable. The child she was holding in her arms suddenly touched her face and asked in confusion: "Grandmother...What is grandmother?"

"You are Akui." Lin clasped his smile and said something affirmatively.

Ye Kui chuckled and said, "Don't grandmother invite her granddaughter to come in for a cup of tea?"

Lin laughed and said, "It's not like your mother at all! Go in and let your people park the carriage outside, it won't attract attention."

"Go." Ye Kui ordered Qiu Nian and turned around and followed Lin in.

Chang'an Lane is remote and poor people live in it, which is a well-deserved slum. Therefore, the houses in it are naturally dilapidated. But after entering the place where the Lin family lives, Ye Kui realized that he was wrong. Although the house was small, it was cleaned up very clean and tidy, making people feel that the word dilapidated.

"Do your mother know that you are here?" Lin asked suddenly.

Ye Kui was stunned and said for a while: "My mother was gone when I was seven years old..."

"Bang--"

Lin staggered and hit a slash in front of him, knocking the slash to the ground.
