Chapter 11 The Great Lady

The kneeling people at the bottom heard this, looked at Xiaoyu carefully, and the older leaders said, "See the eldest lady." ”

Xiaoyu suddenly became inexplicably melancholy, thinking to herself, what are these people going to do? Big lady, big lady, don't want to rebel, right? Think about it, it's not like, I haven't heard of anyone rebelling to find a big lady. Alas! Xiaoyu glanced at Fang Zhun who was also in a daze in the corner below, and thought hatefully, he was to blame. Otherwise, I just listened to the corner of the ear, and now I wouldn't be so cloudy.

Just thinking about it, Zhong Min walked in from the outer courtyard and looked at the people in the lobby where the crows were kneeling, and he was stunned for a while. It took a long time to come back to his senses, and when he looked up to see who they were kneeling for, he saw Xiao Xia Pozi standing majestically on the second floor, with Xiao Yu and Xia Xiucai standing on both sides. Behind him were Shen Xingji, Wang Quan, Second Brother, Fifth Brother and Rushan, who opened their mouths wide in surprise for a while.

Xiaoyu saw her stupid appearance above, thinking that she finally had someone to accompany her, and her heart became comfortable.

Mrs. Xiao Xia waited for a long time and saw that there was no movement on Xiaoyu's side, so she looked back impatiently at her daughter who was in a daze. Xiaoyu hurriedly cleared her throat and said loudly: "Get up!" hesitated for a moment and continued: "In the future, everyone will be their own people, nothing wrong, well, don't make such a big salute." ”

The people standing below immediately responded "yes" in unison, and the buzzing sound echoed in the lobby, making Xiao Yu, who wanted to reprimand a few more words, shrink in his heart and swallow the words behind him.

Xiaoyu secretly pondered in her heart: As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be courteous, and you will either be a traitor or a thief. These big men were so deferential to her, and her mother had just pointed her hand at her, and the expression on her face became light, which showed that it was not a good thing to be glued by this group of people. Thinking like this, Xiaoyu began to worry about her future, and quickly turned her face and turned around and slipped back to the room.

As soon as Xiaoyu walked into the door, she flashed behind the door, and when Xiao Xia and Xia Xiucai entered the door, Xiaoyu quickly closed the door. Shen Xingji and Wang Quan followed too closely, although they had tried their best to retreat, but they were blocked by the second and fifth brothers, and they were swept by the door on the tip of their noses.

Shen Xingji still wanted to knock on the door, but Xiaoyu was already in the room and asked in a screaming voice: "Mother, mother, what's going on! Where did so many people come from! Mother, although I said that I wanted to be a general, I still know how many catties and taels I have, mother, where did you find these soldiers for me! Where can I get them grain, grass, carts and horses! Mother!"

Wang Quan hurriedly pulled his daughter-in-law, and Shen Xingji was stunned for a moment and was dragged away by Wang Quan.

The second brother who stayed, the fifth brother and Rushan glanced at each other, and let out a sigh of relief. The second brother stroked his chin with his hand and paced back to his room with his head down. The room was wilting, and the second sister-in-law was afraid that he would be sick and kept by his side, and she was feeding her son with porridge at this time. The second brother frowned slightly: "Jiu'er is so old that she eats by herself." The second sister-in-law smiled slightly and asked, "Is there something going on outside?" The second brother shook his head and did not answer.

The fifth brother and Rushan lived together, and the uncle and nephew were also suspicious, but no one could solve anyone's confusion, and no one could answer anyone's doubts, so the two had to look at each other silently and walk back to the room.

Xiaoyu heard that there was no movement outside, so she sat on the chair that Xiao Xia Pozi was sitting on just now and gasped. Xiao Xia Pozi was not in a hurry, sat down by the dresser slowly, and carefully pulled out the hairpin on her head. Xia Xiucai glanced at Xiaoyu cautiously, and hesitated for a while before saying, "I heard your mother say that your great-great-grandfather was a general who commanded the three armies at the border gate. ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, she hurriedly sat upright, poked her head over and squinted to listen.

"At that time, Gaozu led the rebel army to sweep through the Central Plains, and later fought against your great-great-grandfather at the border pass in the northwest. Xiao Xia opened her hair, took off her coat and changed into her regular clothes.

"Gaozu caused a war in the Central Plains, and the Beiyi on the border naturally did not stop, and he ran to several prosperous towns in the northwest to burn and loot when he had nothing to do. You, the great-great-great-grandfather, are also stubborn and temperamental, and believe that these are all caused by Gaozu's rebellion, and you are a rebellious minister and thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and you will not surrender and submit. The two soldiers fought in Hue for more than half a year. There were countless casualties, and all the men of the great-great-grandfather's family were killed in the battle, leaving only the infant daughter. ”

Later, the great-great-grandfather's family wanted the girl to give birth to a son to her father. Who would have thought that when talking about marriage, none of the people who came to propose marriage were willing. In the end, one of her father's generals promised to have their eldest daughter inherit in the future. ”

Xiaoyu's eyes widened when she heard this, thinking that this great-great-great-grandfather was stubborn, why was her daughter so stubborn. It's just that the daughter is stubborn, why are the generals under her command so stubborn.

"It's not to blame the general, who fought for many years, and the general's family members died. Since then, the generals have followed them back to their hometown in the northwest, and the general is the son of the family, and the husband and wife later gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the two sons later abandoned the martial arts and literature, took the imperial examination, and became a petty official. The daughter found someone who was willing to let her second son inherit the heir, but unfortunately she only had one son and one daughter in her life. ”

"So they let that daughter inherit the heir?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Xiao Xia nodded: "Later, the daughter gave birth to a daughter, and the generals have been waiting to inherit the heir for their old general." When I get here, something happens at home, thanks to these families will protect me from the escape, otherwise..."

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law smiled slightly, "But your father's family doesn't know how many generations of single inheritance, so he refuses to let his grandson inherit it." At that time, my nurse begged them, since so many generations have waited, why not a few more years. He promised to inherit the eldest daughter in the future. ”

Xiaoyu opened her mouth for a long time before muttering: "No wonder you keep giving birth, it turns out that you are waiting for me!"

Xia Xiucai's old face turned red, and Xiao Xia's mother-in-law was also a little embarrassed.

"It's not that it has to be for the sake of succession...... If you don't like it, you can give it to any brother. Xia Xiucai said anxiously for fear that Xiaoyu would misunderstand.

Xiaoyu waved his hand and fell on the chair to think, but what he was thinking about was not the heir: "I saw these people just now, and their skills are not bad." Let's just say that the group of bandits who passed by just now can be regarded as a climate, and if they encounter it, they will only be strangled. My mother's family was raided by the homeless, so how many bandits did it take for these generals to be unable to resist it, and they escaped instead of killing them?

Then he thought again: "Could it be that my mother's ancestors are from the royal family, such as a princess or something, so that the family will desperately protect them?" or do they want to rebel?" Thinking like this, he said: "These people, I'm afraid that they have other thoughts, if they give the second brother to them, they will instigate the second brother to become heroes in troubled times." The fifth brother and the seventh brother are both literati and are not suitable, and the other elder brothers can't suppress them. Nephews, forget it! ”

After that, he clapped his hands and stood up: "Tell me about such things in the future, my soul will be scared away by the two of you." Now that I know where they came from, I'm not afraid, it's okay, I'll rest. ”

Xia Xiucai was up and down in his heart, and he didn't know if Xiaoyu really wanted to open it, or if he was afraid that they would be embarrassed. I hesitated and didn't want her to go, and I wanted to untie her again.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu, who had already walked to the door, suddenly turned around and asked, "Dad, do I have to change my surname, do I have to call ...... in the future?"

Xia Xiucai's heart was broken into eight petals, and she turned her head to look at Xiao Xia's mother-in-law.

Xiao Xia Pozi smiled: "That's not necessary. Your great-great-grandfather's surname is Zuo. ”

Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded clearly, and thought that these generals were also false, and they were not immortal generals, and they would have to find out who this general surnamed Zuo was in the future. When he got out of the room, he couldn't help but languish. I thought astringently in my heart, dare to love for so many years, my father and mother are all in order to unload this burden today, so they have children one after another, or how can they give birth to their daughters and they won't be giving birth?

The more Xiaoyu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, as if she had suddenly become a rootless duckweed and was abandoned by her father and brothers.

Xia Xiucai's choked voice came from the room: "Xiaoyu is my lifeblood, why don't you want others to inherit the heir." ”

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law sighed, and Xiao Yu listened intently: "The boss can't do it, and the second Xiaoyu also said that if he has more than 100 people like this, it is inevitable that those people will not have other thoughts." The imperial court hasn't troubled us for so many years, and it's just that the leader is a woman, and it can't be a climate. The third is a craftsman, the old five elements, but he plans to be a Beijing official, and it depends on him if the Xia family wants to become a climate. The sixth child is a daughter now, and I am afraid that these people will do other things, and I still hope that he will return to his hometown in the future. You know, that's a book, a book line, and nothing else is far behind. Lao Ba has little string in his heart. ”

Xia Xiucai didn't care, and said sadly: "That's my heart! ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia was a little impatient: "What did you poach, your daughter is still your daughter." That is, to give hope to those people, these people are loyal. It's up to you now, or you're going to write a few sour essays to praise it. ”

Xiaoyu, who was depressed, almost laughed out loud when she heard this, thinking that she was still the meat of her father's heart, and her heart was not so uncomfortable, so she entered her room lightly, and saw Zhong Min leaning on the bed and looking her up and down curiously.

Xiaoyu thought for a while and said indifferently: "It's my mother's ancestral general, how many years have it been, they miss the old, and each generation asks the family to choose a smart woman to be the leader." The more Xiaoyu spoke, the smoother it became. "I will now reincarnate as a general, a martial arts wizard. ”

As he spoke, he opened his stance and practiced the nameless fist that Fang Zhun had just taught. This punch is naturally not called Nameless Fist, but I didn't ask what the name of this punch was at the time, and Xiaoyu called it Nameless Fist in her heart when she remembered it.
