Chapter Twenty-Three: Scheming

Xiao Jiangzhong shrugged: "Then I don't know, anyway, this matter is so coincidental, it's not related to the second brother, and I can't explain it." ”

When he said this, he came to Xiao Jiangbei's side, looked up and down a few times, and said suspiciously: "Second brother, I have always had a question, I really can't help it, I want to ask you a question today." It is rumored that it is so fierce in the capital, it is said that when several sons of the family went to the border pass, they saw with their own eyes that your face was as fierce as Shura, this ...... You're not going to offend them all, are you? I don't think you're talkative, but you're not like that. ”

Xiao Jiangbei pursed his lips and didn't speak. So Xiao Jingshu was also interested, and said repeatedly: "That is, why do those sons of the family have to pour sewage on the second brother?" How the hell did you offend them? And the offense is so comprehensive and thorough? ”

This time, Xiao Jiangbei didn't even bother with it, turned around and left. Behind him, Xiao Jiangzhong and Xiao Jingshu still refused to give up, and hurriedly chased after them and asked, but Xiao Jiangbei refused to cooperate, and they didn't dare to threaten the second brother. chased them all the way to the bottom of the corridor, only to see Xiao Jingyi and Xiao Jingyue walking over on the opposite side, and when they saw them, they smiled and said: "I can't find the third brother and the third sister everywhere, it turns out that I went to talk to the second brother, what's the matter, what did you say?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just strange, I heard that many ladies and girls are coming, and we don't understand what's going on, so we talked about it." After Xiao Jingshu finished speaking, she saw Xiao Jingyi push Xiao Jingyue, and said angrily: "The third sister asked her, isn't she fast-talking, tell the ninth girl of the Cheng family that our family is coming to the hot spring villa, how can this news get out?" As a result, so many people came over. ”

"The ninth girl of the Cheng family?" Xiao Jingshu raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Hehe, she and her fourth sister have been walking almost in the past few days, and I have never been so enthusiastic before." But the nine girls are all over the country and the city, are they also like those daughters, thinking about coming to our family? Could it be that she has taken a fancy to the third brother? ”

"I'm not ashamed, so that I can say anything." Xiao Jingyi knocked Xiao Jingshu lightly, and then said, "No matter what, it has nothing to do with us, let's go back to the room, who knows how many girls will come to talk to us in a while?" Alas! Now that I think about it, it's better to be on Sister Gu's side, pure. ”

"Sister Gu's side is pure, but Sister Gu's side is not necessarily, I just saw Cheng Jiu and Miss Wang in that courtyard, I think I came to talk to her, and they have always been good friends."

Seeing that his younger sisters were leaving, Xiao Jiangbei remembered what he had asked Xiao Jingshu for, for fear that she would forget, so he hurriedly coughed twice, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Jingshu turn his head, squeeze his eyes at him, and said "Don't worry, I won't forget" with his mouth, he put his mind at ease and turned around and went to his room.

"Master is back?"

Xiaoqiao is the small house arranged for him by Aunt Xiang after Xiao Jiangbei returned home, Xiao Jiangbei was alone at the border, and he did not bring anyone to serve when he returned to Beijing, and the luggage was brought back by the caravan of Prince Rong's mansion, so Aunt Xiang made him a small house with the grandson of an old grandmother in the house.

This Xiaoqiao is the son of a family, he was originally loyal to the Xiao Mansion, and now he can serve the second young master he admires the most, it is simply a joy, others are also clever, and his hands and feet are also diligent, within a few days, Xiao Jiangbei is gradually inseparable from this capable little guy, so he also brought him over when he came to the villa.

At this time, seeing Xiaoqiao come out, he nodded "um", calmed his face in the prepared basin, and then said in a deep voice: "There is a letter from the third sister, you call me." ”

"Okay." Xiaoqiao nodded, although he didn't quite understand what the young master meant by this, he still agreed happily.

"Mother, what are you sending me to do?"

Mrs. Lu was crooked in the room, and when she saw Gu Jinxiu coming in, she raised her body and asked, "It's Miss Cheng Jiu and the girl from the Wang family who just left?" ”

"yes." Gu Jinxiu was a little depressed, sat down in front of Mrs. Lu, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, who knows when they got on with the girls of the Xiao family, knowing about this matter, and then Wang Yue'er's family also has a small Zhuangzi here, so they all came over, otherwise with the Cheng family, can they buy a Zhuangzi here?" ”

Mrs. Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking, Gu Jinxiu looked at her mother's contemplative expression, although she was impatient, she didn't dare to speak out. Suddenly, Mrs. Lu sighed, lowered her eyes and said, "Let me ask you, do you want to take your sister and marry into the Xiao family?" ”

Gu Jinxiu was immediately stunned. It took a long time for her to realize what her mother meant by this, and she couldn't help but blush with excitement, pounced on her mother, lowered her voice with bright eyes and asked, "Mother, ...... Do you want to help me? Sure enough, my daughter knows that you love me the most. ”

"Don't be busy just yet."

Mrs. Lu stroked her daughter's hair and said in a deep voice: "My mother has one condition, if you agree, my mother will do her best for you, otherwise, my mother will not help you." ”

"Mother, you said, don't say one condition, it's ten or eight conditions, and my daughter will promise you." Gu Jinxiu shook Mrs. Lu's arm, looking extremely well-behaved.

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, and after a while, Fang said lightly: "Isn't that Cheng Jiu girl very good with you?" I see that she is also very enthusiastic about the kid of the Xiao family, but she is suffering from not having the opportunity to seduce the other party, so you can give her an idea, this hero saves the beauty since ancient times, and often makes a couple, Cheng Jiu girl is the first beauty in the capital, and she has always been a country-conquering posture. ”

"Mother, you...... You...... What do you think? Such a good idea, do you want to give it to Qiuchan? Why? Her vixen appearance, if she really let Xiao Jiangbei save it once, he would ...... Will he be able to escape the vixen's palm? Gu Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately became anxious.

Mrs. Lu said in a deep voice: "My conditions are here. If Xiao Jiangbei is really fascinated by Cheng Qiuchan, he has to find a way to get out of the marriage or take her in as a person in the house, and don't think about it from now on. If he can be unmoved in front of the beauty and let the Cheng Jiu girl waste his thoughts, the mother will fight this old face, and she will also think of letting you take the wild girl and replace her and marry the Xiao family. ”

"For ...... Why? ”

Gu Jinxiu was completely stunned, not knowing why her mother would make such a decision. I really want Cheng Jiu's vixen to have a chance to be saved by a hero, what else is going on with himself? Why did my mother come up with such a bad idea? Is she old and confused? Or does she not want to help herself at all, and she doesn't want her big sister to take advantage, so she would rather cheapen others?

Gu Jinxiu didn't even believe her mother at this moment, and guessed with a very small heart. But seeing that Mrs. Lu didn't raise her eyelids, she just stared at her hand and said in a deep voice: "You should have heard some rumors about the capital these days, and you have also seen this scene today, I heard that there are more than a dozen ladies and girls in the hall over there at this time, all talking to Aunt Xiang." Hehe, an aunt, there is such a scenery, what do you think you rely on? ”

"But what does this have to do with our family's relationship with the Xiao family?" Gu Jinxiu didn't understand, 110,000 didn't understand.

"Stupid." Mrs. Lu glanced at her daughter sharply: "Don't you want to think about it?" If Xiao Jiangbei is a person who is easily fascinated by beauty, what ethics does he have? These families who want to marry him can crush us to death by taking out a random family. Do you think if he doesn't insist, this family business can still be successful? ”

Gu Jinxiu was dumbfounded, she had never thought about this, she only knew that she was now more and more unable to let go of the young man who made her heart fall in love with her for the first time. Now when people in the capital mention Xiao Jiangbei, they are no longer murderous maniacs, but they all want to give a thumbs up and praise the "young god of war", she feels that only by marrying such a man can she live up to God and give birth to her as a daughter.

"That'...... What does that mother mean......"

Gu Jinxiu could only ask blankly, and listened to Mrs. Lu say slowly: "If he is not fascinated by Miss Cheng Jiu, it means that he is a child who is affectionate and keeps his promises." The friendship between the lord and General Xiao is already good, as long as the Xiao family recognizes our family as in-laws, when the time comes, I will find a way to do this, there is no endless road, I don't believe it, I have been operating in this mansion for more than ten years, can't I find a good life for my daughter? ”

"Mother......

Gu Jinxiu looked at Mrs. Lu, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart, she only felt that it was very complicated.

"Good boy, if you do what your mother says, will your mother still harm you?" Mrs. Lu touched Gu Jinxiu's hair, sighed and said, "This matter is up to now, it must be fought for, but those who should be cautious and cautious must not relax." Although Miss Cheng Jiu is beautiful, I don't look so clever, you go and tell her, she can only be grateful to you, no matter whether things work out or not, it will be harmless to you. ”

"Okay." Gu Jinxiu nodded lightly, then took a deep breath, raised her head and said in a deep voice: "Mother, do you want ...... Words count. ”

"Silly boy, can my mother lie to you about such a big thing?" Mrs. Lu shook her head, thinking about the future of the Xiao family in her heart, it was also uncomfortable to be scratched by a cat, but this matter was related to the lifelong happiness of her biological daughter, she would not be carried away by these, and she must understand what kind of person Xiao Jiangbei is before she will take action.

"What kind of nap does my sister sleep, this is winter, you take a nap during the day, and it gets dark early at night, when do you have to fall asleep?" Let's go, I'll take you to see my brother's most cherished big black horse, that horse is beautiful, I'll tell you......"

Gu Qiluo was almost pushed away by Xiao Jingshu, and said with a wry smile: "Good duanduan pulled me out of the bed, just to see what kind of big dark horse?" Third girl, are you very concerned about the development of animal husbandry in my dynasty? ”

"My sister is so funny." Xiao Jingshu smiled, thinking that I didn't care about my animal husbandry, I only cared about whether the jade bracelet on my wrist could be completely owned by me.
