Pear Water Residence.

The Su siblings followed Wu Yang into the courtyard. After taking only a few steps, they saw an old man with white hair standing under a large pear tree. Although his hair and beard were completely white, he was still very energetic. In particular, his tiger-like eyes could make people tremble with fear if they met them unexpectedly.

However, this feeling of trepidation lasted only a moment.

In the blink of an eye, the old man's lips curled up, and Wu Yang, standing beside him, bowed and reported, "Your Highness, the Princess of Le'an and Young Master Su have arrived."

Upon hearing this, the Su siblings composed themselves and bowed to the old man, saying, "Su Dahu and Su Hua of the Su family greet Your Highness."

"We're all family, no need for such formalities." Yu Xiao raised his hand, smiling as he helped the man up, then waved his hand dismissively, "Wu Yang, serve tea!"

Although he was speaking to Wu Yang, his gaze remained fixed on the Su siblings, or more precisely, on the pale yellow little figure in front of him.

At this moment, he realized that what Lao Zhou and Wu Yang, those two old guys, said was right.

Yes, it really looks good!

Moreover, eyes are the most honest thing to see. He has seen countless people in his life, and he can tell at a glance that the brother and sister in front of him are open-minded people.

The little girl, in particular, is brimming with spirit.

Such people cannot be raised in places that are not blessed with beautiful mountains and clear waters, nor in families that are not open-minded and free-spirited!

At this point, the weight that had been on my shoulders finally lifted.

That brat will definitely not follow in Heng'er's footsteps.

Unaware that the person before her was already lost in thought, Su Hua smiled and called for Qingdai to present the gift, "Your Highness, these are some wild products from the mountains of Tangshan Prefecture that my brother and I prepared. We hope Your Highness will not find them too offensive."

Yu Xiao was about to speak, but as Qingdai stepped forward, he immediately smelled the aroma of hot pot broth from the basket full of ingredients.

Her eyes suddenly became bright and sparkling.

He had been saving the hot pot broth every day until it was almost gone, and he was worried about when he could refill it. This little girl was clever and knew how to get things done; she had just thought of what he needed.

"It's good that Le'an and Dahu are here, but don't bring so many gifts!" The old man declined verbally, but was secretly overjoyed. "By the way, calling me 'Your Highness' is too formal. From now on, you'll call me 'Grandpa' just like this brat..."

Wu Yang came out carrying the tea, just in time to hear the last sentence, "cough cough..."

Yu Xiao paused, glared at him with displeasure, and then quickly said, "Just call me Grandpa Yu."

“Oh, Master Yu.” Su Hua couldn’t help but chuckle. She had always thought that someone as powerful as Prince Gong, who had dominated the battlefield, would be difficult to approach.

I never expected him to be such an interesting person.

Su Dahu stood behind the girl, eyes downcast and a pleased smile playing on his lips.

Just then, a low laugh came from afar, "Grandpa, it's quite lively here today! Why didn't you call me to join you?"

Everyone looked up and saw the pear tree sway gently a few times, and then a white figure slowly fell to the ground.

Yu Xiao touched his nose, snorted, and changed the subject, "Didn't I tell you to go to the West Market to buy pear blossom wine? Why did you come back?"

The pear blossom wine from Li's shop in the West Market is a unique delicacy in Beijing. It is generally not available for pre-order; you have to wait for at least several hours to buy it.

But he had only said a few words when the brat came back.

"Here you go! Freshly brewed pear blossom wine!" Xiao Jinhan strode forward, took out a decorated wine bottle from behind her back, and handed it to him. "I'm quick on my feet, and I happen to know Li Dalang, so he gave me the first bottle of wine."

However, this wine should not be drunk in large quantities; only a small cup a day is allowed.

"You talk too much!" Yu Xiao turned his head away, ignoring him, and looked at Su Hua with a smile. "I heard you came to the capital earlier, so I asked your aunt to prepare some clothes and accessories that young ladies like at Taoyao Residence. You and Zichen can go and pick them out. If there's anything you like, your grandfather will give it all to you."

Su Hua was slightly taken aback. "Thank you for your kindness, Master Yu. I already have enough clothes and jewelry."

"A daughter's clothes and jewelry will never be enough!" Yu Xiao waved his hand. "This is a token of my affection, you can't refuse it."

Hua'er, just tell Wu Yang what you like to eat, and I'll have him order someone to prepare a meal. You and your brother can stay here together and keep this old man company while you eat.

It's usually so quiet and deserted here.

Su Hua's lips twitched slightly. Desolate? Could a tree full of mischievous monkeys really be desolate?

It wasn't until she went to Taoyao Residence that she understood what Yu Xiao meant by 'some jewelry and clothing'.

She randomly pushed open the door to a room, and the room was filled with fabrics and jewelry. There were many kinds of fabrics, many of which she couldn't even name, and they came in all kinds of colors.

As for jewelry, gold, silver, jade, and emeralds are all available, all in complete sets, each with its own unique characteristics. Without exception, all sets are intricately crafted and meticulously made.

Su Hua's brow twitched slightly. "Zichen, your grandfather is too enthusiastic. Even if ten of me came, we wouldn't be able to use him all."

"Grandpa's enthusiasm is always selective." The man smiled, his gaze falling on the girl's rosy cheeks. "If Hua'er likes them, she can change these clothes and jewelry every day."

Even without makeup, Hua'er is the most dazzling person in the crowd.

Now that she's dressed up so carefully, people can't help but want to keep her hidden away and not let others know how wonderful she is.

Under such intense gazes, Su Hua blushed slightly. She stepped out of the house and looked out into the yard. "Not only are there many peach trees here, but the flowers and plants are also very well grown!"

"Next to Peach Blossom Residence is Guanju Residence, where my mother lived before she got married." Xiao Jinhan nodded. "When my mother was alive, besides pear trees, she loved tending to flowers and plants the most."

Later, it was Zhao Mama, who was by my mother's side, who took care of these flowers and plants.

Over time, the number of flowers and plants grew so large that Guanju Residence could no longer accommodate them all, so some were moved to Taoyao Residence.

"So that's how it is." Upon hearing this, Su Hua finally understood.

No wonder that there is a large pear tree planted in front of and behind the restaurants in Qingshui County and Tangshan Prefecture, and these plants have been growing more and more thriving over the past eighteen years.

Indeed, parents plan far ahead and act meticulously for their children.

As they were talking, they suddenly noticed a withered plant at the foot of the courtyard wall, which stood out conspicuously among the flowers and plants that were vying to bloom.

Just as he was about to crouch down to see what was going on, a voice filled with surprise and delight called out, "Young Master, you've arrived!"

Su Hua paused slightly, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a woman with slightly gray hair carrying a wooden bucket and a kettle walking from the courtyard gate. The smile on her face deepened the wrinkles on her face.

"Granny Zhao." Xiao Jinhan nodded and gave a brief introduction to the two.

"Granny Zhao greets Princess Le'an." The woman curtsied, and her expression softened completely when she saw the direction of the princess's gaze.

"The potted plant in front of the Lady of Le'an County is the one that Miss loved most when she was alive."
