Chapter 8: People are small and big
On May 11, Ji Rong was full moon, and Murong Qinghua and Duanmu Zixuan solemnly but low-key held a full moon wine for her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are not many people who are lucky enough to come to watch the ceremony, but all of them are from important human families in Mingxiang City.
Although these families were no different from other mortals in the eyes of immortal cultivators, they were the most important allies to the Duanmu family, who ruled Qinzhou. Over the past few hundred years, these families have not only made great contributions to the prosperity of Mingxiang City, but have also assisted the Duanmu family in defending the territory of Qinzhou on more than one occasion.
Inviting these people to participate in the full moon banquet of his niece, Murong Qinghua's importance to Ji Rong is obvious.
Seeing that his mother was busy, Duanmu Zixuan, who had just come out of confinement, was guilty and moved. On the one hand, she felt that she had lost the face of her mother and Duanmu family, and on the other hand, she was moved by her mother's mother and younger brother's protection of her in every way.
As for Ji Rong, as a big demon who has lived for more than 39,000 years, she naturally doesn't mind the gossip that others say about her behind her back. But even so, she was still very grateful to Murong Qinghua and others for their efforts to protect her.
It was nearly noon, and Murong Qinghua was about to announce the opening of the banquet, but her confidant suddenly came over and whispered, "Master, Lord Tuzhou is here." ”
Ji Rong, who was bored as an exhibition object, heard this, and a pair of dark eyes suddenly lit up a little.
Lord Tuzhou, isn't that her own grandfather with this body? His son has bullied Duanmu Zixuan so much that he ran back to his parents' house, what is he doing all the way to Qinzhou?
Ji Rong was curious, so he heard Murong Qinghua whisper to the grandmother, "Please ask him to sit in the main hall for a while, and I will go over immediately." ”
The grandmother was about to leave quietly, but Duanmu Zixuan suddenly stood up, "Mother, Jinghong is a little tired, I'll take her down to rest first." ”
Ji Rong blinked, she was tired? How could she not know?
It seems that her cheap mother is ready to meet her cheap grandfather in person.
Murong Qinghua glanced at Duanmu Zixuan worriedly, but saw that her eyes were firm, and there was even a hint of pleading in her expression.
In front of everyone's eyes, Murong Qinghua couldn't say anything more. She sighed in her heart, and slowly spoke helplessly, "Go ahead." ”
"Thank you, mother. Duanmu Zixuan first glanced at Murong Qinghua gratefully, and then left the table with a generous confession.
"Jinghong, can you go back to the room with Sister Jiwu?" After leaving the banquet hall, Duanmu Zixuan whispered to persuade his daughter.
"Not good. Ji Rong had an expression of "follow you, no discussion".
What kind of joke, after using her as a cover, you want her to avoid it, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?!
Duanmu Zixuan had a headache.
Her daughter is very good, extremely talented, extremely intelligent, never plays with children's temper, and does not need to be taken care of and served. But the problem is that this kid is too smart, too convenient, and too creative.
For example, at this moment, staring at her distant and deep eyes, Duanmu Zixuan actually gave birth to an illusion that she knew everything.
She shook her head, trying to get the weird thought out of her mind.
Shangguan Xilin was still waiting in the main hall, and she had to quickly settle the little ancestor in front of her.
Since this girl refuses to go back to the back house, she can only retreat, "Then wait a minute, Jinghong will stay in her mother's arms honestly, don't move and don't speak, okay?"
Isn't it just to act as an exhibition object, which she is good at. Ji Rong's little head nodded twice, which was considered to be an agreement to Duanmu Zixuan's request.
Duanmu Zixuan was relieved at this time, she took a deep breath, and rushed to the main hall accompanied by Jiwu.
At this time, in the main hall of the front yard of the Qinzhou Lord's Mansion, Shangguan Xilin, the lord of Tuzhou, was rubbing the tea cup in his hand with a complicated expression.
He had come to take the blame, and he had long been prepared to be unpopular. But what he didn't expect was that he actually had a little granddaughter, and today was her full moon day.
When he came out of the retreat more than three months ago, he found that his daughter-in-law had changed. After calling his henchman to ask him about the ins and outs of the matter, he ran to question his wife in shock and anger, but was so angry that she was so angry that she reversed black and white.
Immediately after, he hurriedly left Tuzhou with a dozen entourages.
Of course, at that time, he knew very well in his heart that if Duanmu Zixuan was not in danger on the way, then she must have returned to Qinzhou at this time, and his unscrupulous son had already married someone else, even if he saw Duanmu Zixuan, he was afraid that he would not be able to change anything. But even so, he still felt that he had to make this trip.
Duanmu Zixuan's father, who died young, was one of Shangguan Xilin's few close friends, which is why the two families decided to marry their children back then. Later, despite the opposition of his old wife, he insisted on marrying Duanmu Zixuan into the door, and his original intention was to take care of his children on behalf of his old friend.
It's just that he never thought that his stubbornness, his son's weakness, his wife's ghostly mind, and Xuanyuan Fu's calculating mind would push Duanmu Zixuan to the point where he had to break out.
He regretted that he usually tolerated and indulged his wife, and at the same time felt guilty that he had not protected his old friend's palm beads, and that she and her family had suffered such a great humiliation. He had already thought about it, this time, even if Murong Qinghua wanted to hack him alive, he would definitely not fight back.
However, what made him ashamed was that all the difficulties he had conceived before did not appear, and Duanmu Zixuan didn't blame him at all.
She held Ji Rong in her arms, her expression was satisfied and quiet, and when she walked in front of him, she smiled lightly and saluted, "Zixuan has seen uncle." ”
"Good boy, get up. Shangguan Xilin said, and turned his gaze to the child in Duanmu Zixuan's arms with an excited face, "This is ......"
Duanmu Zixuan nodded, "This is Jinghong, my daughter." ”
As soon as the words "my daughter" came into his ears, Shangguan Xilin immediately understood what Duanmu Zixuan meant. He sighed and looked at Duanmu Zixuan with guilt on his face, "Good boy, you have suffered." It's your uncle who is sorry for you, sorry for your father. ”
Thinking of his father who died early, Duanmu Zixuan couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, "It's Zixuan who is not blessed and can't be her uncle's daughter." ”
She said this sincerely, but Shangguan Xilin felt more and more embarrassed.
Thinking that at the beginning, when Duanmu Zixuan was a wife for the first time and gave them a cup of daughter-in-law tea for their husband and wife, he once swore to her that he would treat her as his own daughter in the future.
The words are still in his ears, things are wrong, and in just over a year, he has broken his original promise.
