Chapter 234: The Northern Xinjiang Boy
A group of people from northern Xinjiang, Huo Zhaiqing, who started the way, was also eighteen years old, with the same physique as his father and brother, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, strong long legs, and a somewhat haggard face due to the wind and dust, only two pairs of eyes did not lose the light.
"We've all killed two or three horses, and we'll finally be able to get to the edge of the capital tomorrow. Xiao Yongyi said, "My aunt said that she has prepared people to wait for us on the road, clean up first and then go up to Xishan." ”
"Thank you Aunt Xiao. Huo Zhaiqing said.
"Hey, my aunt is your aunt, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yongyi said, "What does my father mean, even if I am not selected to be a concubine, I guess I will have to find a daughter-in-law in the capital." ”
"This Central Plains girl is delicate, she always needs someone to accompany her, and she has to be coaxed, I can't stand it. ”
"No, why do we suddenly have a colt?" Xian Meng said, "I don't want to come, it's my milk, crying to death, saying that after my aunt married in the capital, she didn't see her, you have to come to see my aunt, you say, if I am favored by His Majesty to be a son-in-law, what should I do? I don't want to live in the capital, such a small place, I will definitely have to suffocate to death." ”
"What you think is quite beautiful, look at you like that, can the princess look at you?" said another young man, looking at Huo Zhaiqing, "It's almost the same as Huo Zhaiqing's, maybe, we are all here to foil." ”
In this group, they are all children of the most famous local families in Northern Xinjiang, and now they are more or less close to the three families in the capital, Huo, Xiao, and Xian, and their status is higher, and the rest of them are not so close and not so valuable, but they have a rare opportunity, and they also came together, and there are many spies between the words.
"You're all overthinking. Huo Zhaiqing said lightly, "No matter what you think in your hearts, when you enter the territory of the capital, don't show it at all, the capital is full of people, you can know what you are thinking at a glance, don't think about it yourself, and harm your family." ”
"Your Majesty is in the palace to spend the summer, the school entrance examination from the Beijing children, thinking of the northern Xinjiang, only let me wait for Beijing to perform, this is to the northern Xinjiang, to add glory to the family, no one should hide it, drop the chain, behave well, Your Majesty to reuse, not better than the ethereal horse?"
"That is, my eldest brother always said that I was still young and would not let me go to the army, if I behave well in front of His Majesty this time, and Your Majesty allowed me to hold an official position, my eldest brother would never say anything. Xian Meng immediately became excited again.
After Xiao Yaya told the eldest sister-in-law, she personally waited in the courtyard under the West Mountain, and the steward of the Xiao family in Beijing received the little masters and sent them to this courtyard non-stop, and took the carriage.
Xian Meng was squeezed, "We all rode over so far away, why did we get into the carriage instead of here?"
"You open the curtain and look out, are there any carriages and horses coming and going?" Huo Zhaiqing said, "Let you go down and ride a horse, what if you can't control your speed and hit someone?"
"We are walking sideways in northern Xinjiang, and when we arrive in this capital, we have to walk with our tails between our legs, and these remote places are all nobles, and we can't afford to offend. Xiao Yongyi added.
"I really don't like the capital. Xian Meng said.
When they arrived at the other courtyard, they arranged for the courtyard room to be washed, and Xiao Yongyi was about to take off his clothes, when it was rumored outside, "The second lady is here." ”
Xiao Yongyi hurriedly passed the clothes back again, his aunt had already come in, held his face and said, "Yi'er has grown so tall." ”
"Auntie. Xiao Yongyi shouted. "Come in slowly, I'm done with my clothes. ”
"Stinky boy. Xiao Yaya patted him on the back, "I've seen your bare ass when you were a child, and now I'm embarrassed to talk to my aunt." ”
"No, it's not my dust, I'm afraid of dirty aunt. Xiao Yongyi said.
"Don't worry, my aunt will tell you a few words first. Xiao Yaya said, she looked at Xiao Yongyi's face, she is also a talent, but unfortunately His Majesty has already made a decision, she pulled Xiao Yongyi to sit down and said to him, "You came to the capital this time, what did your father tell you?"
"Dad just asked me to come over and go back when I'm done. Xiao Yongyi said, he looked at his aunt and asked, "Does Your Majesty really want to marry the eldest princess to Northern Xinjiang?"
"Didn't you say that this eldest princess is quite favored?"
"Your Majesty's heart and soul baby. Xiao Yaya said, "I don't know when Your Majesty got into your mind, and suddenly said that he wanted you to come, which has already scared many people, I thought, according to Your Majesty's thoughts, it is definitely not a temporary idea, calling so many of you to come, just to cover up." ”
"Does that aunt know who His Majesty wants?" Xiao Yongyi said, "It's definitely not me, I can guess it just by looking at my aunt's expression." ”
Xiao Yaya was originally worried that he was busy all the way, but when he fell short, he was afraid that he would be disappointed and sad, so he deliberately came over to talk to him in advance, but he didn't expect him to have such an attitude, and he seemed to be quite happy.
"That's the princess, Your Majesty didn't take a fancy to you, so you don't care at all?" asked Xiao Yaya.
"The princess is good, the colt must also be a first-class person, I don't think I'm not, don't have that dream. Xiao Yongyi said.
"Since you think so, it's me who has a lot of things to do, and when I go up to see Your Majesty, you can talk when you should speak, and you shut up when you shouldn't, and if you don't go back so soon, you can stay at your aunt's house for a while. ”
"It's not my aunt, my father said, our family has a yard in the capital, and told me not to go to my aunt's house to disturb me, so who will I listen to." Xiao Yongyi said.
Xiao Yaya tapped his forehead with her finger, "I don't know what you have in mind yet?"
"Stay at my aunt's house for two days and then come and stay, I'll send someone to keep an eye on you, and if you want to mess around with your little companions, I'll tell your father." ”
"Auntie, I'm all older, and you still sue. ”
"Before they got married, they were all children. Xiao Yaya rubbed his head, "Go wash it." ”
The girl walked out with her, "The little young master is big-hearted, our Xiao family is now the number one in northern Xinjiang, why can't this horse fall on the head of our little young master." ”
"You have followed me to the capital for so many years, why are you still the same brain as before. Xiao Yaya said, "I've changed my mind." She was also hot-headed when she first knew that His Majesty intended to choose a son-in-law in Northern Xinjiang, and felt that her family had a great opportunity, but what Xianggong said was right, Your Majesty would no longer cultivate a Dingbei general in Northern Xinjiang who would cover the sky with one hand, and the Huo family had a concubine and a princess, so it was best to bring it up and balance with the Xiao family.
Moreover, according to His Majesty's wishes, there is a princess's mansion in northern Xinjiang, which is more reassuring than appointing anyone.
"It's nothing, Sister Mengfei's nephew is also my nephew, so many people come, as far as he knows, go and say hello to me first, maybe, this big colt should be his. Xiao Yaya said.
After washing, there was an inner waiter waiting, looking at this group of refreshing and clean northern Xinjiang children, the inner waiter smiled and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for you sons in the racecourse." ”
When they arrived at the horse farm, not only His Majesty was waiting for them, but there was a tent on the side of the horse farm, and there was a palace maid standing outside, and it could be guessed that it was the noble lord of the palace.
Xian Meng coughed uncomfortably twice, and asked for help from the brother who was walking in front, "Hey, why don't I suddenly know how to walk?"
Xiao Yongyi turned his head and glared at him, "Did you see that over there, those are all sons and brothers in the capital, do you see their eyes, they are waiting to see our jokes, you really send the jokes to others." ”
It's lively outside, and it's not far behind inside, today the concubines from the north are all there, stretching their necks and looking out, looking forward to seeing their own family, Qin Yunyi looked out for a while and then asked Concubine Meng with a smile, "The one who walked away is your nephew?"
Concubine Meng nodded, "How old is he, and his younger brothers let him." ”
Qin Yunyi only smiled, she said to Concubine Xian, "The last time I went to Northern Xinjiang, I felt that the men in Northern Xinjiang were taller than those in the Central Plains. ”
"I heard that people in northern Xinjiang don't like to take a bath, and they have a peculiar smell, I don't know if it's right?" Princess Liang suddenly interjected.
The room is full of silence.
Princess Good hurriedly pulled her, and Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "There are people everywhere who love to take a bath and don't like to take a bath, and you can't generalize about it." ”
Princess Liang also felt that she had said the wrong thing, so she laughed dryly, "What Niangniang said is true." He took a cup of tea and refused to speak again.
Outside, His Majesty has already raced with a group of Erlang.
Huo Zhaiqing always pressed the horse's speed, retaining the second and third positions, and the rest of the people followed him and never crossed over.
