002 inside and out
Everyone in the Xiao family was stunned by the little prince's actions and questions, but fortunately, Xiao Guangzheng reacted quickly, and immediately said with a smile, "Yes, the prince has good eyesight." After speaking, he began to introduce his children, "This is Xiao Moxian, the eldest son of the grass people, and this is the second son Xiao Moyi." ”
Xiao Moxian and Xiao Moyi saluted King Xuanping together, and when Xiao Yao arrived, Xiao Guangzheng hadn't spoken yet, King Xuanping's words had already come out first, and he seemed to be a little impatient, "Presumably this is Master Xiao's daughter, right?" ”
The Xiao family began to feel that something seemed wrong, but they couldn't say it, and Xiao Yao also felt quite awkward. But fortunately, Xiao Guangzheng calmed down, motioned for Xiao Yao to step forward, and said with a smile, "Lord Lao, this is the little girl of the grass people, Xiao Yao." ”
Xiao Yao pursed her lips and stepped forward, without raising her head from beginning to end, and made a big salute, "Xiao Yao, a folk girl, I have seen the prince." ”
After waiting for a long time, but he didn't see the little prince shouting to get up, Xiao Yao was puzzled, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only squat honestly. On the contrary, Xiao Moyi, who was standing next to him, secretly looked at the little prince of Xuanping from the corner of his eyes, and saw that the little prince was staring at Xiao Yao for a moment, as if he was about to take a hole in this person, and his eyes were quite strange.
After a while, Xiao Moxian also found out that something was wrong, and he quietly turned around his father. Xiao Guangzheng also felt that something was wrong, and said with a smile, "Uh, Lord Wang......"
"Huh? How? Xuanping's little prince came back to his senses at this time, and Xiao Guangzheng immediately said, "Lord, the little girl just recovered from a serious illness a while ago...... Can you ......?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Get up, get up. As he spoke, he naturally stretched out his hand to help Xiao Yao, Xiao Moyi suddenly felt even more strange, the little prince's action of helping his little sister was too skilled? Moreover, looking at the hand that the little prince was going to help Xiao Yao's waist, he turned around in mid-air in a daze, and then planned to help Xiao Yao's hand up.
Did they know each other before? It's impossible.
Xiao Moyi was puzzled, his little sister had been frail and sick since she was a child, not to mention the door of her home, even the door of her own courtyard was not very good, how could she be familiar with King Xuanping? I must have thought too much.
Xiao Moyi was puzzled, Xiao Yao here couldn't figure it out, this little prince was too cold, right? My sister and you met for the first time, and you want to come to help your mother's waist? This playboy is really not in vain. Although the status of the little prince is noble, he is naturally the same name as the first king with a different surname in the capital - his other title - the first playboy in the capital.
It's better for this kind of person to provoke less. Thinking so, Xiao Yao dodged the little prince's hand without a trace, and said softly After standing up, he pretended to be uncomfortable and hid directly behind Xiao Moyi.
Xiao Moyi thought about it for a while, and felt that after his little sister and this little prince had the possibility of getting to know each other, he naturally thought that this little prince coveted the beauty of his little sister, and when his brother's desire to protect was attacked, he naturally stood in front of Xiao Yao.
He Yu was stunned for a while by the sudden action of Xiao Yao's brothers and sisters, and then he seemed to come back to his senses and thought of something, shook his head funny, and then did not make any other movements.
Xiao Yao's actions in the eyes of the prefect of Nanping naturally did not know how to lift, the prefect felt that he had been left out in the cold for a long time, and he had to brush up his sense of savings, so he stepped forward and said, "King Xuanping made a southern tour for the emperor and drove the Xiao family, this is the glory of the Xiao family for generations." ”
"This is natural," Xiao Guangzheng smiled modestly, "The arrival of the little prince has made the humble house shine, which is the supreme glory of the Xiao family." ”
"But it's not," the prefect's tone also had a sour taste, "In the spring of this year, the second young master of the Xiao family won a seat in Tanhua again, presumably your Xiao family will be able to rise smoothly from now on." ”
A few days ago, Xiao Moyi, the second young man of the Xiao family, participated in the Spring Festival, and was appointed by the emperor as Tanhualang in the palace examination, and now he is also considered to have returned to his hometown, although he has not yet taken office, but the future position will definitely be higher than that of him as the prefect of Nanping. Now that this little prince has to live in the Xiao family by name, this is not an obvious intention to support the Xiao family?
Thinking of this, the prefect was really envious, jealous and hateful.
Xiao Guangzheng smiled, and was about to say something, but he didn't expect the little prince to drag his lazy voice to speak first, "How can this prefect speak plainly with a smell of vinegar?" It seems that this Nanping City does not produce balsamic vinegar, right? Why don't you go and talk to the emperor and let you go next door to be a magistrate? I heard that vinegar is produced there, how? ”
Everyone present except for the prefect buried their heads and tried their best to laugh, even Xiao Yao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, the corners of He Yu's lips were hooked, and a warm smile flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Guangzheng coughed twice, calmed himself down, and said, "The family has already cleaned up for the prince, but the prince is well-informed, don't dislike it." ”
"No, no," He Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, "Master Xiao is humble, the Xiao family is the richest man in Nanping City, and the ones used in the family are naturally superior, and besides, this king has never been very picky about these things outside his body, he only needs an inch of land to turn over, a house with tiles to shelter from the rain, and three meals a day without starvation." ”
Xiao Guangzheng heard King Xuanping say this, but his impression of him became a little better, "Since the prince does not dislike it, then the grass people's hearts can be regarded as being able to return to the throne well." ”
"Master Xiao doesn't have to think too much," He Yu reversed the casual attitude of talking to the prefect just now, and comforted Xiao Guangzheng with a smile on his face. Then he turned his head again, and looked at Xiao Yao, who didn't look up the whole time, without a trace, "It's not a matter for this old man to stand at the gate of the city, why don't we go to the city first?" It's noon, didn't you say that Ling Ai only recovered from a serious illness a few days ago, and he couldn't get heat? It's better not to stand under the sun. ”
"What the prince said is that the prince has traveled hard, and the family has prepared a meal, so he is waiting for the prince to go back to the banquet!" Xiao Guangzheng touched his beard and said with a smile.
"Then dare to be kind, let's go!" After saying that, King Xuanping walked to the city on his own.
Xiao Guangzheng followed, followed by the three Xiao Yao brothers and sisters.
And the poor prefect of Nanping, who had been ridiculed before, was directly ignored by King Xuanping and the Xiao family at this time. The other officials who walked past him, either sneering or pitiful eyes, made the Nanping prefect tremble with anger, but he was helpless. In the end, he could only stomp his feet in place hatefully and chase after him with great strides.
