It has been several months since Qin Ming was reborn in the Tang Dynasty. This is the first time that Qin Ming has close contact with his relatives from his predecessor.
He had known his predecessor's relatives before. According to Wan'er, the Qin family was a single generation, so Qin Ming's family did not have direct or collateral relatives such as uncles and brothers.
On the contrary, the mother of the predecessor was said to be a branch of the Li family in Longxi. However, after Qin's mother married into the Qin Mansion, Qin Ming's mother's clan had already moved to Taiyuan County.
There has been little contact over the years, and even after Qin's mother passed away, no relatives came back.
Grandfather's sudden visit today made Qin Ming a little overwhelmed.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he thought about his identity in time travel. After all, he had concealed the cause of his illness from drowning in the past few months from Qingwan and the others, but would this blood relative see something wrong with him?
But he soon felt relieved. After all, he had never seen his grandfather, so there was nothing to worry about.
However, he then had some doubts, so he grabbed Wan'er and asked calmly:
"Wan'er, my grandfather has been coming to the house for so many years. How did you determine his identity?"
Qingwan thought for a while and said:
"Mr. Li showed his directions to me and my aunt. Moreover, when Mr. Li arrived at the mansion, Uncle Huang happened to be at home. He recognized the old servant who sent Mr. Li here as the steward of my wife's family."
Qin Ming was relieved after hearing this, as long as no one else was pretending to be him. After all, there were often swindlers in later generations who pretended to be relatives of rich people to steal food and drink.
After hearing Qingwan say that she had seen Lu Yin, which was the document issued by the Tang Dynasty government to prove her identity, and Uncle Huang confirmed that she was the steward of her mother's house, there must be no problem with her identity. Maybe I was too cautious.
After thinking for a while, Qin Ming asked again:
"Did grandfather come alone? Are there others with him?"
Yang Zijun pursed his lips when he heard this, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone:
"There was only an old servant and a woman accompanying him. The woman seemed to be Mr. Li's concubine."
When Qin Ming heard this, he probably understood the current situation, so he followed Qingwan and Zijun towards the mansion.
Soon Qin Ming saw his legendary grandfather in the front hall of Qin Mansion.
He was wearing a green robe, a brown bun, and some gray hair.
The old man has extremely three-dimensional facial features, narrow eyes, few wrinkles on his face, and a long gray beard. He looks to be in his fifties. From Qin Ming's point of view, he is a handsome old guy.
If the old man could let go of the beautiful young woman in his arms at this time, he would be the most perfect grandfather in Qin Ming's imagination.
While Qin Ming was looking at the old man, the old man holding Mei Jiao Niang on the chair was also looking at Qin Ming with a smile.
Qin Ming sighed secretly in his heart, what kind of fairy grandpa is this? In future generations, he will be regarded as a proper old pervert.
Although he was complaining in his heart, Qin Ming still respectfully walked to the old man and saluted:
"My grandson, Qin Ming, pays homage to his grandfather."
The old man smiled, raised his arm and said:
"My dear grandson, get up quickly. No need to be polite. Come to my grandfather and let him take a good look."
Qin Ming stood up after hearing this and took another step towards the old man.
"Well, he is indeed a talented person. It's a pity that my daughter was so ill-fated and died at such a young age."
As the old man spoke, he wiped the corners of his clean eyes.
The beautiful woman in his arms was also considerate. She leaned into the old man's arms and said:
"Alang, don't be sad. The slave family feels sorry for you."
Qin Ming was caught off guard by this handful of dog food, and he almost had goosebumps all over his body.
So he hurriedly followed and comforted:
"I would also like to express my condolences on Grandfather's Day. My mother is alive in heaven. I know you are always so sad for her, and I believe she will be uneasy."
After hearing this, the old man stopped wiping his eyes, nodded and said:
"Well, what my dear grandson said makes sense. It's getting late. My dear grandson, shouldn't we have a meal?"
Qin Ming patted his forehead and said:
"What the grandfather said is that this is the first time for the grandson to meet his grandfather. He is too excited. The grandson will make arrangements now and ask the grandfather to sit down for a while."
Seeing the old man nodding, Qin Ming ordered a few maids to take good care of the old man, and then took Qingwan and Zijun out of the front hall.
After instructing Qingwan and Zijun to go to the kitchen to prepare meals, Qin Ming took a walk around the yard. He wanted to take advantage of this moment to think about how to get along with this strange grandfather in the future, so he did not go back to the front hall.
The main reason why he thought about it in the future was that Qin Ming felt that his grandfather came to Qin Mansion near the end of the year. Either you have something to ask for, or you have encountered some difficulties at home and may need to live in your own house for a period of time.
In any case, after all, they are their relatives in this world, and they are also elders. When they can do what they can, they should help and be filial.
Although the old man looked like an old pervert, this was the Tang Dynasty after all, and the custom dictated that he couldn't make too much of a fuss.
It wasn't until Qingwan sent someone to tell Qin Ming that the food was ready, that Qin Ming returned to the front hall and brought his obscure grandfather, his old servant and the beautiful woman to the restaurant.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, the old man and the beautiful woman were shocked by the furniture and the dazzling array of dishes in the restaurant.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ming smiled and asked the old man and the beautiful woman to sit down, and then introduced them to the round table in the restaurant and the names and methods of the various dishes on the table.
But when the old man couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks to eat, the old servant accompanying him walked up to the old man and whispered a few words in his ear.
The old man frowned, then pretended to be unhappy and said:
"You old boy."
After speaking, the old man smiled at Qin Ming and said:
"Grandson, this old slave has been with my grandfather for many years and has never eaten anything good. He is a little greedy when he sees so many delicious foods. Do you think you can give him some food?"
Qin Ming put down the chopsticks in his hand and said:
"My grandson didn't think well. Grandpa, please eat first while I ask Wan'er to prepare some food for him alone."
"That's not necessary. It's all my family members. Don't be so polite. Grandpa can just share his order."
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Ming to say anything, he picked up the plate on the table, put a little of the food on the table in, then turned around and handed it to the old servant beside him.
The old servant took the plate with both hands, thanked the old man and Qin Ming, and started eating voraciously.
Qin Ming looked at the old servant's eating appearance and sighed silently in his heart. It seemed that life in his grandfather's family was not easy either.
Old Man Li nodded secretly while watching, then picked up the wine glass and said to Qin Ming:
"Come grandson, have a drink with grandpa."
When Qin Ming heard this, he also raised his wine glass high, touched it gently with the old man, and then drank it all in one gulp.
He just put down the wine glass and didn't notice a puddle of water at the old man's feet.
The beautiful woman next to her didn't drink, but she had already eaten a lot of food.
Seeing this, Qin Ming hurriedly invited his grandfather to eat. The old man looked at the old servant behind him and the beautiful woman beside him.
He smiled and picked up his chopsticks and started eating. As the food entered his mouth, the old man's eyes lit up and he quickly started devouring it.
Qin Ming sighed again when he saw this. It seemed that his guess was correct. Something must have happened at his grandfather's house, otherwise why would an old man be so hungry?
He had heard Uncle Huang say that although his grandfather's family was not a direct descendant of the Li family in Longxi, they were still well off.
