"Second Miss, what's wrong? Stay away from the broken porcelain pieces, and be careful not to get hurt! Licorice didn't know why, but seeing that Xiao Wanyao felt like she had lost her soul, she let go of Fluttershy and walked towards Xiao Wanyao, helping Xiao Wanyao to sit aside and rest.

At this time, Tsing Yi was still just a young child, she accompanied Xiao Wanyao through every time in the palace, and time finally polished this child as warm as water, but she unexpectedly became a steel needle and pierced straight in

Xiao Wanyao's heart gave Xiao Wanyao the most fatal blow. She never understood why Tsing Yi did this.

Xiao Wanyao looked at her, her mouth opened and wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say it, she wanted to know the truth, but she also knew that her fate in this life had changed, and she couldn't ask why after all.

"Miss, what's the matter? Is it because you are not feeling well? Licorice has never seen Xiao Wanyao lose her soul like this, even when she is in danger, she can't help but get nervous now.

Xiao Wanyao settled down, shook her head and said, "That girl doesn't have to do things, send her to another place, I don't want to see her." ”

Hearing Xiao Wanyao's words, Licorice soothed her frown: "It turned out that this was the case, the second miss just gave the order, you are suddenly like this, you are really going to scare the slave to death......" Licorice said while covering her chest, then glanced at Fluttershy sideways and said sharply, "Didn't you hear what the second miss said?" I don't have to wait here anymore, just leave now. ”

Fluttershy listens to the rain as she cries, but she doesn't dare to cry too loudly, and she blushes aggrieved and leaves the corridor trembling.

Looking at Tsing Yi's thin back, Xiao Wanyao can also remember that she used to be good to herself, but Tsing Yi killed her son, and their sisterhood in the previous life was over, and in this life, Xiao Wanyao just wanted to clear up grievances with her, and no longer had any contacts.

Of course, Xiao Wanyao didn't want to see her again, which would only make her sad and think of her son who died early.

"Licorice, am I going too far by doing this?" Xiao Wanyao asked.

Licorice didn't admit or deny it, but just said softly: "There is no standard of right or wrong in teaching people, and slaves and maids don't dare to say anything...... Second Miss is tired, right? The slave helped the second lady to go back to the house to rest. ”

Xiao Wanyao still had a bit of guilt in her heart, but when she thought of her son, her heart was full of pain, and that bit of guilt was gone.

The next day, Xiao Mansion ushered in a major event, and Xue Youxiang personally brought his son to visit Xiao Mansion.

The news spread quickly, and it reached Xiao Wanyao's ears in a blink of an eye, she knew that Xue Tianao was Xue Youcheng's son, but the Xue family and the Xiao family had no contact, and the sudden visit for no reason was really unexpected.

Licorice entered the house with tea, and saw Xiao Wanyao looking thoughtful, so she said: "I heard that Xue Youcheng came to us with his son, and the slave maid thought that Bacheng was here to propose!"

Xiao Wanyao couldn't help frowning, in this life, she really didn't want to have any entanglement with anyone who implicated her in her previous life, this was true for the emperor, this was true for Tsing Yi, and it was naturally the same for him Xue Tianao.

If it was for something else, Xiao Wanyao naturally didn't have to worry; But if Xue Youcheng really wants to propose......

Xiao Wanyao bit her lip, her expression became more and more solemn, in her opinion, Xiao Man must not be able to withstand this temptation, right!?

"Second Miss?" Licorice looked at Xiao Wanyao's gloomy expression, and guessed in her heart that Xiao Wanyao should not be expecting this proposal, but she also heard of this Xue Tianao Xue Gongzi of the Xue family, his identity is already extremely noble, and his honor and favor are also extremely high, but all the bad habits that the children have, Xue Tianao basically has them, and some of them can be regarded as one of the best, probably because he has been spoiled since he was a child!

At this time, Xiao Manwei showed his respect for Xue Youcheng, who was equal to his status, and had already changed into a very formal official uniform, and soon Xue Youcheng came to Xiao Mansion, and his outfit was extremely formal.

Xue Youcheng was also followed by his son Xue Tianao, he was wearing a lotus-colored robe with silver embroidered patterns, and his hair was also meticulously tied with ink-colored jade ribbons, his appearance was extremely handsome, but his expression was listless, and every step was pushed by the Xue family behind him, and he seemed unwilling to come.

Xiao Man naturally noticed this, but he could also choose to "didn't see it", so far, this is the best choice except for the emperor's draft, it is precisely because of the discord between him and Xue Youcheng that they know more about each other, and the meaning of the marriage between them is more serious.

Today's situation is destined to be this, Xue Youcheng and Xiao Zuoxiang must have a way to maintain the balance of their relationship first.

Seeing Xue Youcheng take the initiative to visit, Xiao Man's heart was already happy, and he still looked indifferent on the surface.

"It is really Xiao's honor for Xue Lao to come to Xiao's mansion as a guest!" Xiao Man's opening began with some polite words.

Xue Youcheng smiled loudly: "Master Xiao, you and I have worked together for so many years, we can be regarded as old acquaintances, don't you know my personality?" I'm just a straight gut, and I can't compare to you literati, so when I say the wrong thing, I still hope that Lord Xiao Haihan. ”

Although Prime Minister Xue Youcheng is a civil official, he is a martial arts family, although he has also been a scholar since he was a child, but his personality is a little more arrogant.

Xiao Man naturally replied politely: "Where is it, Xue Xiangyan is serious, and whoever comes is a guest." Come and watch tea for Prime Minister Xue and Gongzi Xue! ”

Then Xiao Man and Prime Minister Xue Cheng sat down one after another, and Xue Tianao was pressed on the seat by two family members behind him, and one of the family members kept his hand on Xue Tianao's shoulder.

How uncomfortable Xue Tianao was, Xiao Man saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just cared about having a good time with Xue Youcheng.

At the beginning, it was just drinking tea and talking about political affairs, and Xue Youcheng didn't pay attention to Xue Tianao, and after a long time, the two turned to the main topic.

Xue Youcheng took a sip of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "Xiao Lao, sitting next to him is Xue's dog Xue Tianao, I asked a master to tell the dog's fortune, and the master said that the marriage of the dog's destiny is in the southeast direction, I look at it, isn't the southeast of Xue's mansion Xiao Lao's house?" Only then did he take the liberty of bringing the dog to bother, and he wanted to ask for a marriage for the dog. ”

Xue Youcheng's words are to the point, "master fortune telling" is just a reason, Xue Youcheng also knows that Xiao Man can't be fooled, and Xiao Man also knows this.

But fortunately, what the two care about is a result, and this process is just a matter of the scene, and it is just a necessary form for them.

"Oh?" Xiao Man touched his beard and smiled, "Coincidentally, Xiao has two daughters under his knees, and now they are all of the age of marriage, Xiao sees that Xue Gongzi has an extraordinary appearance, and he is also very optimistic!" I don't know which of Xiao's daughters Xue Xiang likes? ”

Xue Youcheng has thought about this carefully, although Xiao Man's second daughter Xiao Wanyao has recently become famous in the capital and is touted by everyone, but after all, she is a concubine, and he feels that she is not worthy of his son Xue Tianao; And although Xiao Wanrou doesn't know much, she is the orthodox daughter of the Xiao family, so Xue Youcheng naturally said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is Xiao Wanrou, the daughter of the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Man's hand holding the teacup froze for a moment, and then he understood Xue Youcheng's thoughts, Xiao Man thought to himself that this is also a good deal for himself, and there are more optimistic about Xiao Wanyao among the officials at the moment, since Xue Youcheng has fallen in love with Xiao Wanrou's daughter-in-law, then it is no better, he can marry his daughter-in-law to the Xue family, follow their wishes, and then marry Xiao Wanyao to other dignitaries, so that no matter who Xue Youcheng chooses, Xiao Man's transaction will only make money.

Xiao Man's expression seemed to be smiling, and he didn't show how happy he was in his heart, and replied calmly: "Oh? It's better to ask our eldest daughter Wanrou to come here to meet Xue Xiang first, the girl's family is thin-skinned, so Xue Xiang shouldn't mention the matter of marriage in person. ”

Xue Youcheng looked at the drama, Xiao Man intended to marry his daughter to his son Xue Tianao, and he was naturally very happy, so he agreed: "That's natural, let them meet now and understand more, which is also good for the future." ”

Xiao Man was just about to call someone to call Xiao Wanrou over, but Xue Tianao opened his mouth coldly: "Uncle Xiao doesn't have to bother, the little nephew Tianao has no intention of marrying a wife, and it's useless to see it!" ”

Xue Tianao's voice was pleasant, but at this moment, he lost his previous sense of laziness and idleness, and his words were full of frost.

Xiao Man was in a dilemma by him, his face was blue and white for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

"Shut up!" Xue Youcheng was also annoyed with his son at this time, and hurriedly scolded him before he could say more rude words, while Xue Tianao lowered his head, no one knew what kind of situation he was in now.

Xue Youcheng's scolding was effective, Xue Tianao lowered his head and fell into silence, Xue Youcheng turned his head to look at Xiao Man and smiled: "There are many people who have spoiled him since he was a child, some of them don't know how to be thick, and now he is still young, he doesn't know what is good for him, Xiao Lao, don't blame him, this is to trouble the eldest lady to come over!?" ”

Xiao Man whispered a few words to his subordinates, and then said to Xue Youcheng: "Xue Gongzi is a young man, his temperament is still undecided, and it is inevitable that he will be a little frivolous, which of us parents is not for the good of our children?" He'll understand later. ”

The chrysanthemums in autumn are in full bloom, and so are the yards, and the gold is beautiful.

As soon as Xiao Wanyao was interested, she asked Licorice to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it on the table by the window, and instructed Licorice to go to the yard to pick a few chrysanthemums and use the flower juice to make paint to paint.

Xiao Wanyao sat on the side of the desk and painted, of course, she used her left hand.

Soon after Licorice went out, he ran back in a panic, walked to Xiao Wanyao's side and whispered: "Second Miss, I just saw that the master sent someone to our side, and I don't know if I came to find Miss, so it's best to say to Second Miss if I want to come." Xiao Wanyao frowned after hearing this, put down the brush in her hand, got up and walked to the door of the bedroom, and said, "It's right to come here, licorice, I suffered from a cold and headache last night, and I fell asleep today because I didn't have lunch today, and I just slept a little deeper now." ”

Licorice was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood: "Second Miss, go back and rest!" ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded and went back to the bedroom, while Licorice hurriedly put away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and then went to the door to guard. I1483
