As soon as Lei Ao and Lei Fu walked out of the gate, they saw two sedans parked there. The curtain in front of the sedan opened, and out came a girl in blue, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate appearance. She nodded and saluted them both. Lei Ao and Lei Fu
Lei Fu was a little confused. It wasn't until the girl in blue pulled out the person in the sedan behind that they hurriedly went to meet him.
"Dad, is it really you who is back?"
Lei Ao stepped forward to support his father and nodded to the girl in blue to express his gratitude. The girl in blue consciously let go of Lei Lie's hands.
"Master, you are back. These days, the young master has been very anxious." Lei Fu said with a smile on his face.
Lei Lie nodded towards them both, "Ao'er, this is my god-granddaughter, Ding Xilan. Xilan, I haven't met your Uncle Lei yet."
This girl in blue is naturally Ding Xilan who returned to Suzhou with Lei Lie.
Ding Xilan walked up to Lei Ao generously and saluted, "Xilan greets Uncle Lei!"
Lei Ao was a little overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of his niece, but he was a man who had seen the world after all, so he immediately helped her up, "No need to be polite, get up quickly."
"This is Butler Lei Fu. He has been with me for almost fifty years, and he is not an outsider."
"Hello, Grandpa Fu!" Ding Xilan saluted again.
"Hey, this is embarrassing, sir. Miss Xilan, please get up quickly." Lei Fu quickly helped her up.
"Dad, let me help you go into the house and have a rest."
Lei Lie nodded. He was indeed a little tired. He was really homesick after being out for such a long time. It seemed that he was really getting old.
"Oh, it's better to go home." Lei Lie took a sip of tea and leaned back on the chair. "I've been exhausted these past few days. My bones are about to fall apart. It seems I'm really old. I can't do it anymore."
"Sir, you are really joking." Lei Fu replied from the side, "Look, I am six years younger than you, but it looks like you are ten years younger than me."
"Yes, Dad, I haven't seen you for a while, but I feel that you still look very good." Lei Ao said.
"Oh, this is all thanks to girl Xilan." Lei Lie proudly pulled Ding Xilan beside him, "If it hadn't been for Xilan, my life would have been lost."
"Grandpa Lei, it's all in the past, what else do you say?" Ding Xilan was embarrassed.
"Oh?" Lei Ao and Lei Fu couldn't help but be surprised.
"The girl is still shy, that's the truth." Lei Lie said with a smile, "I'm telling you, at that time..."
Lei Lie then told the story of that day in detail, and how Ding Xilan had taken good care of him these days. There were endless words of praise. Ding Xilan felt uncomfortable all over, and secretly tugged on his sleeves to signal him not to stop.
Besides, Lei Lie pretended that he didn't know and continued to talk about him.
"Miss Xilan, Lei will always remember your kindness." Lei Ao clasped his fists in gratitude after listening to his father's words, "If you don't mind, just stay in our Lei Mansion. My father is old and loves to join in the fun.
He will like it more if there are more people."
"Uncle Lei, this is what I should do." Ding Xilan returned the gesture with a smile.
"Girl Xilan, as for you, there's no need to say anything. Just stay here and this will be your home from now on." Lei Lie patted her hands, "Remember you promised me, don't go back on it."
"Yes, Grandpa Lei, everything is up to you." Only now did Ding Xilan realize that Lei Lie was so "childish" at home.
"Ao'er, it's been so long, why haven't you seen your mother and my daughters-in-law?" Only now did Lei Lie remember to ask this matter.
"As soon as Mom had lunch, she took Yueniang, Rushuang, Yunxiu and the others to Dinghui Temple to burn incense." Lei Ao bowed and replied, "Dad, you don't know that there is no news from you these days, but
My mother was so anxious that she took them to Dinghui Temple to burn incense and worship God every day, twice a day, no matter it was windy or raining, she never stopped."
"Really?" Lei Lie felt incredible, his expression was as if the sun had risen from the west. "The old lady is so nice? Then why do you have to keep arguing with me when I'm at home? It's pitiful, it's so hard for the Bodhisattva in the temple
, I am so annoyed by her that I can’t sleep every day.”
After hearing this, Ding Xilan couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. She saw Lei Ao's head buried lower, but his body was trembling slightly, while Lei Fu turned his head. Obviously, they were also enjoying themselves.
For the first time, she felt that this huge Lei Mansion was so interesting.
But Lei Lie didn't notice anything strange about them. He was sipping tea with his eyes closed. "Oh, by the way, where is Shaoyang? Where did he go?"
"Shaoyang, he..." When Lei Aozheng didn't know how to answer, there was a burst of joyful shouts from outside the door, which was no less than that of a scholar who won the first prize.
"Grandpa, grandpa, my favorite, most respected, greatest, kindest, wisest and most mighty good grandpa, you are finally home. My grandson, I miss you so much!"
When he finished saying this, a red figure rushed in from outside and rushed to Lei Lie's feet. "My grandson, I kowtow to you."
After three "dong", "dong" and "dong" sounds passed, the man raised his head: a round face with a wide forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, tiger eyes and a lion nose, fair skin with a slight reddish tint, and an enlarged baby face.
He is handsome, but he looks like an unweaned child.
That's what Ding Xilan thought. At the same time, she was obviously "scared" by this scene. How could anyone be so exaggerated? However, when she looked at everyone, there was no trace of surprise, as if she was used to it.
Lei Lie was even more calm, not looking at Lei Shaoyang who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly playing with the tea cup in his hand. "Oh, my grandson who is the best at flattering is back."
Ding Xilan was even more surprised. Are these really the two grandsons? She was looking at Lei Fu and Lei Ao, and saw that their expressions were very normal. Could it be that this is a drama that often happens in this family?
"Grandpa, you are a bit too much. How can you say that to me?" Lei Shaoyang stood up with a cry. Only then did Ding Xilan realize that Lei Shaoyang was not a child. He was a head taller than her. "You
Do you know that I have searched all over Suzhou these days to find you? I didn’t expect that when you came back, you didn’t even say a word of reward, you just said this to me."
"Oh, really?" Lei Lie opened his eyes and looked at his naughty grandson, "It's true, I know you worked hard enough. You came to Tianxiang Tower with me and sat on the fourth table on the second floor for three days and three days.
Night, has the Temple of the Five Internal Organs collapsed?"
"This...this..." Lei Shaoyang's face turned red.
"Oh, also, I found Shiba Gambling House and stayed there for five days. I spent 100,000 taels in consulting fees. I guess everyone asked about it, right? Did they find out? Then did they tell you?
Tell me where I am?"
Lei Shaoyang's face turned even redder and he couldn't say a word.
"But it seems that you didn't ask anything at Shiba Gambling House, and then went to Qinhuai Restaurant, where you stayed for ten consecutive days without getting bored or tired. But, in your drunken dreams, did any gods tell you where I am?
?”
Lei Shaoyang's head lowered, beads of sweat already appeared on his forehead...
