Chapter 32 Do you know who Tan Yu is?
Xu Anan threw the medicinal powder into the Qiankun bag, then ate the last piece of fruit on the plate and headed towards Mrs. Xu's Fulu Hall. The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was divided into four courtyards, namely east, west, north and south. Xu Kangwen was the head of the Xu family.
House, living in the east courtyard with the widest area.
To the west is where Xu An'an's second uncle, Xu Fufu, and his family live. To the south is where Xu An'an's third uncle, Xu Ping An, and his family live. To the north, no one lives.
As Xu Anan walked along the road, the feeling of familiarity became more and more intense, as if she had walked this road leading to Fulu Hall thousands of times. She was not an outsider who had passed through the soul, but should have been here.
Xu Anan attributed this emotion to the remaining emotions of his original body. When he met familiar people or things, he would inevitably miss them. He walked through flowers and willows all the way, passed several arches and pavilions, and finally arrived at Fulu Hall.
Xu Anan stepped in. It was quiet inside, except for an old man who looked to be in his sixties, sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket on his lap.
Her white hair was combed meticulously, her complexion was rosy, she was in excellent spirits, and her vitality gate was shiny. It looked like she would live a long life. Xu Kangwen had indeed tricked her into coming back.
"grandmother."
Hearing the sound, Mrs. Xu opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the smiling person in front of her, she couldn't help but rub her eyes: "Girl An?"
"It's me, grandma."
Mrs. Xu still found it a bit incredible that her granddaughter, whom she had not seen for a year, suddenly came back. She stood up hurriedly: "You girl, you have been in the palace for a year, and you have never come back to see your grandmother even once."
Xu Anan touched his nose with a somewhat innocent expression: "I'm back now, aren't I?"
Mrs. Xu quickly grabbed her and went to the chair in front. Her eyes looked around Xu Anan. Her tone was somewhat gratifying: "You have become mellow. It's good that you didn't wrong yourself in the palace."
Xu Anan was a little ashamed. During the Qi Dynasty, thinness was regarded as beauty. Mrs. Xu did not agree with her. When Xu Anan was young, she was determined to raise her baby to be fair and fat.
After leaving the Marquis Mansion, during the year in the palace, I had little water every day. As long as I could not die from hunger, I rarely had cabbage or meat dishes every day.
Although she didn't know why the original person had wronged her so much, but now that she was here, there was no such thing as wronging her!
She wants to provide herself with good food and drink every day.
In addition, she and Cheng Huai are enjoying a good meal now, and Hu Cairen makes snacks for her to eat. Xu Anan only thinks that this is called life.
So she patted Mrs. Xu's hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry about me anymore. You have to take good care of yourself."
Mrs. Xu smiled and wrapped her hand with her backhand: "Grandma is getting old, and I don't know how many years she has to live. This body is just like this. It's best to be pain-free and disease-free."
Xu Anan took her and sat down: "Don't worry, you are destined to live a hundred years without worries."
Mrs. Xu smiled brightly: "Try to say nice things to coax me. Did you just go to your father's place?"
Xu Anan responded softly: "Yes." Then he looked at Mrs. Xu's kind face, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Grandma, do you know who Tan Yu is?"
Mrs. Xu's smile faded a little: "Girl An, where did you know this name?"
Xu Anan blinked: "Is there any taboo against mentioning this name?"
Mrs. Xu looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's not true, this is your mother's name. You have not allowed anyone around you to mention anything about her since you were a child. If you suddenly mention it, someone must be
What did I say in your ear?"
Seeing Xu Anan stunned, Mrs. Xu also looked a little helpless: "You said you girl, your mother has never been sorry for you in any way. You have been hating you for so many years, and you don't listen to anyone. You are as stubborn as a donkey.
, why have you figured it out now?”
The person Li Gui was talking about turned out to be her mother. Her appearance was very similar to that of her mother who died long ago. No wonder Li Gui recognized the wrong person.
In memory, Xu Anan didn't completely hate her.
It's just that when she died, how sad she was, the resentment towards her was justified.
She must have been only three years old at that time, and now she has long forgotten her appearance. She just sees that others have mothers, but she does not, and she will be sad. Others have fathers, but she does not.
The gentle face in the memory and the gentle voice coaxing her gradually faded away, and Xu Anan smiled softly: "Grandma, I have never really hated her, I just feel a little unwilling to do so."
So she refused to know everything about her mother, including her name.
Mrs. Xu looked stunned for a moment, then returned to her kind smile: "It's good if you can figure it out. Your mother is a very gentle person, and everyone who knows her likes her."
Xu Anan stood up: "I want to see her."
Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded: "Go ahead."
She left Fulu Hall and headed towards the ancestral temple. The ancestral hall was in the north and she had to pass through the east courtyard.
Xu Anan originally thought that Xu Ningyu would block her on the cobblestone road, but unexpectedly, she met another person.
She was holding a basket and picking hibiscus on tiptoe. The flowers made her facial features delicate and beautiful. She was wearing a simple Tsing Yi with a very elegant temperament.
When she saw the person coming, she took back the basket in panic, bowed her head and saluted: "Sister."
Xu Anan glanced at her. She was the concubine of her scumbag father. Her name was Xu Yingxiu. She was only fourteen years old this year.
Xu Anan had little contact with her since she was a child. The two rarely met each other, and they only said a simple hello when they met.
Then Xu Anan just nodded slightly, passed her and continued towards the ancestral hall.
It wasn't until her back disappeared that Xu Yingxiu withdrew her gaze and continued to pick hibiscus on tiptoe.
In the Xu family ancestral hall are the ancestors of the Xu family and their deceased direct wives.
After Xu Anan's mother died, she could enter the ancestral hall. Her memorial tablet was in the most inconspicuous corner. There was a thick layer of dust on it, and no one took care of it at first glance.
Xu Anan picked up the tablet and patted the dust off with his hands, revealing two large carved red lacquer characters, Tan Yu.
There is nothing on the tablet except the name.
She touched it with her hand: "Tsk, I really don't know what you see in Xu Kangwen. He didn't even give you a decent identity until he died."
"He was sent to the ancestral hall without any name or status, and his status was worse than that of Chen Yashi's outhouse."
Xu Anan may have been born with no family ties. Her mother died when she was just three years old. A modern mother doesn't even know her name.
Born to be unable to enjoy the love of a father and a mother, Xu Anan wiped the tablet clean, placed it properly, and bowed deeply towards the tablet.
The deceased is gone, and she has no reason to hate her own mother anymore.
When leaving Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion, Fuling happened to bring the packaged beggar's chicken.
Seeing that Xu Anan left the house intact, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My dear, the Marquis did not embarrass you, did he?"
Xu Anan looked at her strangely: "Why is he making things difficult for me?"
