Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Difference When You Grow Up

"Xiao Ping, what are you doing!" Jing Ci also shouted loudly at Xiao Ping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Ping immediately turned to Jing Ci, "Jing Ci, do you know what Xiao An did?" Xiao An, you say it yourself. He pointed to his sister, who was huddled behind Jing Ci.

"I'm not wrong, I follow my heart." Xiao An's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm.

"You still say that you are right, you and Wei Yuanna have made a private agreement for life without telling your family! Do you know that this is detrimental to the innocence of your daughter's family! Daddy is the prefect of the Yushitai, but something like this happened in the house, aren't you dragging the Xiao family back! ”

"You've made a private decision for life?" Jing Ci was surprised, "It's too hasty, isn't it?" ”

"Xiao family, Xiao family, you know the Xiao family!" Xiao An finally returned the mouth aggressively.

"...... the hell you have"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing," Jing Ci hurriedly interrupted them in the quarrel, and first looked at Xiao An, who was blushing, "Xiao An, how long have you known that gentleman, is it inappropriate to make a private decision for life so soon?" ”

"Jing Ci, you don't understand...... Wei Lang and I are in love, and the matter of falling in love has nothing to do with the length of time. "It's not about identity, it's not about the door, it's about their heart.

"Daddy asked you to learn chess in order to socialize with the prince and nobleman, isn't it in vain that you make such a fuss about Daddy?"

"Xiao Ping, don't talk about Xiao An," Jing Ci knew that with Xiao An's temperament, she didn't go all out to argue with Xiao Ping because she felt guilty, so she looked at Xiao An's eyes and felt a little more pity, "Xiao An didn't feel good in her heart." ”

Xiao Ping fell silent.

Xiao An was silent.

After a while, the maid came over and said, "Yu Langjun, little lady, little lady Yang, Ah Lang is invited." ”

They looked at each other, couldn't it be because of Mr. Chess......

There was silence all the way, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.

Xiao Ping finally said: "I didn't tell Daddy. ”

The main house.

Xiao Zhizhong and Xiao Mu sat on both sides of the couch.

"Aunt Xiao!" Jing Ci was so excited that she couldn't wait to call.

"Here we are." When Xiao Mu saw someone coming, her face suddenly softened.

Three people salute together.

"What's wrong? Quarreled? Xiao's mother had sharp eyes, and she could see at a glance that the atmosphere was inappropriate.

Xiao Ping replied: "After a few quarrels, it's no big deal." ”

"Come and sit." Xiao Zhizhong said to the three children.

Xiao Zhizhong and Xiao's mother moved from the couch to the table below and sat down, just such a small family, there is no need to be too different.

The three of them sat in front of the next few cases, and the maid presented a few melons, fruits, and pastries one by one.

"I heard that Princess An Le has been making a lot of trouble in the East Palace recently, and the Yang Mansion has not been affected, right?" Xiao Zhizhong looked at Jing Ci with kind eyebrows.

Jing Ci replied with a smile, "Thank you Uncle Xiao for your concern, the Yang Mansion is still calm, otherwise I wouldn't have the leisure to come out." ”

"If you don't listen to the affairs of the court, don't listen to it, and the less you know, the better." Xiao Mu said lightly.

"Jing Zi knows." She replied obediently.

Xiao Ping drank the osmanthus in the cup, "Since you haven't continued to study, you should always learn something, right?" Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance, take one to specialize. He knew the situation of Jing Ci, the lady of the family should choose an art class to hone at this age, so that he could expand his communication and be a good family.

Puff -

Jing Zi laughed suddenly, this Xiao Ping is too funny.

"Don't you know me? Just me still play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance? If I really want to ask Mr. to teach, I won't be able to stay for half a moment," Jing Ci also drank the osmanthus brew in the cup and wiped his mouth, "It's almost the same as learning to ride and shoot." ”

Xiao Ping shook his head helplessly, he almost forgot how Jing Ci, who had been strong since he was a child, could cultivate the things that the lady of the boudoir had cultivated.

"Do you want to be a general?" Xiao Ping said with a smile.

"No," she dismissed, "I don't want to go into battle to kill the enemy, nor do I want to point out the country." ”

"And what do you want to do?"

Jing Ci thought for a while, "Wandering the rivers and lakes." ”

"Hahaha...... It's naΓ―ve. Xiao Ping laughed, how old is this girl, she still has this kind of dream.

"What do you want to do then?" Xiao's mother asked her son with a pleasant face.

"Of course, men focus on their careers, otherwise how can they stretch their ambitions and support their families?" Xiao Ping did not hesitate.

Jing Ci blinked his eyes, "Now that the traitor is in charge, if you can only choose between loyalty and official career, which one do you choose?" ”

Loyalty and career?

He was stunned, he didn't expect Jing Ci to ask like this.

"The traitorous minister is only temporary, justice will eventually defeat the evil forces, disloyalty, no career, this is the root of the minister."

"Wrong." Xiao Zhizhong said suddenly.

He looked at his son Xiao Ping, and said quite seriously, "Loyalty is for the country, for the king, for the subjects, for the people, not for the career." The Qingliu who are in danger and stubbornly defend in the DPRK and China, which one is not a person who supports the society and asks for the people's life, a brave and loyal person, is not just for the glory of the career. ”

Jing Ci looked at Uncle Xiao, who was a little majestic, and thought that he was worthy of being the county lieutenant who was deeply loved by the people in Luoyang back then, and now there is such a chief of imperial history in the chaotic court, which is the luck of the country and the blessing of the people.

"Daddy teaches well, and the child obeys the teaching." Xiao Ping looked serious and convinced of this. Since he was a child, he admired and admired his father the most, like a sun, shining on him as he moved forward.

"You three children, you must understand what true loyalty is, don't do things that hurt heaven and reason, I don't ask you to have a loyal liver and courage to be strong, I just want you to be a good person for the rest of your life." Xiao's mother looked at a pair of children and Jing Ci, and earnestly admonished that the degree of bitterness was no less than that of Xiao Zhizhong.

"Jing Ci strictly follows Aunt Xiao's teachings."

"Ping'er strictly follows A-Niang's teachings."

"An'er obeys A-Niang's teachings."

The few people talked for a while, and after eating more than half of the fruits, pastries and drinks on the table, Xiao Zhizhong said that he was going to rest with Xiao's mother and let the children play by themselves.

So the three of them quit and went to the back garden.

Today, Xiao Zhizhong is resting, and Xiao Ping naturally has to be idle.

Jing Ci was interested and invited Xiao Ping and Xiao An to play archery with her. Throwing pots and archery, Jing Ci has always been good at it, even if Xiao An practices martial arts, when it comes to projection, he may not win Jing Ci.

…………

Sure enough, after a game, Jing Ci hit ten hits, Xiao Ping hit seven, and Xiao An was three.

Xiao Ping was not convinced, he was addicted, and he came several rounds in a row, and the result became more and more dominant.

"Obviously, you learned from Captain Luo since you were a child, why are your archery skills so good? It's not necessarily that you are more diligent than me and Xiao An. "Xiao Ping is a martial arts practitioner, and he will inevitably feel discouraged by losing to the little girl who is a head shorter than him.

"Hahaha, I'm Captain Luo's protΓ©gΓ©, Captain Luo said, my level is better than that of the soldiers in his team." Jing Ci was quite proud.

Xiao An quipped, "Jing Ci is military material." ”

"Then forget it," she quickly shook her hand, "I can't bear it." ”

"Come on, come again-" Xiao Ping raised his bow and asked for another round.

"I'm tired, take a break." After all, Jing Ci is a daughter, and her physical strength is not comparable to Xiao Ping, and Xiao Ping is two years older than her.

Xiao Ping was helpless, but he didn't want to give up when he was interested, so he had to call the entourage on the side.

Jing Ci and Xiao An, who was also tired, went to the pavilion next to him to sit down and rest, learning things really requires talent, they play small no matter what they learn together, now Jing Ci is good at riding and shooting, Xiao Ping is good at martial arts, Xiao An is good at chess.

The breeze was blowing, and Jing Ci unconsciously remembered what happened to Fang Cai.

"Xiao An, what kind of life do you want to live in the future? What kind of person do you become? ”

Xiao An smiled lightly, "I don't want to be rich and rich, I just want a couple for a lifetime." ”

"Isn't it right with your chess master?" Jing words teasing.

"Okay, you bad thorn ......"

"Cough, cough-" Xiao Ping strode from outside the pavilion and heard the conversation between Jing Ci and Xiao An clearly, "Why do you say this again?" Xiao An, if you are obsessed, be careful I tell Daddy and Auntie. He immediately straightened his face, this time he was determined to oppose Xiao An.

"Don't always talk about Xiao An, why aren't you in love with Huan'er?" Jing Ci is Xiao An's head.

Regarding Xiao An and Mr. Chess, Jing Ci thought about it carefully and didn't think that Xiao An was at fault. Uncle Xiao and Xiao Ping themselves are still desperate for love, one is Aunt Xiao who married the daughter of a criminal minister, and the other is in love with Chen Huan'er, who is already a lowly person, what qualifications do you have to say that Xiao An's private life is a big mistake?

Why is it that men are free to follow love, but women cannot?

"It's different."

"What's the difference?" Jing Ci raised his head, "Xiao Ping, will you give up Huan'er?" ”

"Of course not, but ......," Xiao Ping paused, "but I am a man, I can take Huan'er as a concubine and never marry." Xiao An is different, she will be out of the cabinet one day, and it is impossible for the daughter of the Xiao family to marry Mr. Poor. ”

Jing Ci and Xiao An didn't feel frowning.

"I only marry the people I like." Xiao An exited.

"I support Xiao An."

The education they received from childhood is the same, so why should they be distinguished when they grow up? Are they unwilling just because they are women?

Xiao Ping was helpless, angry and anxious, "You ......"

"Little lady, the county lord of Fangcheng is visiting." The maid suddenly walked into the pavilion to report.

"Yun'er is here?" Xiao An glanced at Jing Ci and Xiao Ping, and hesitated, "I'll go out to meet her, Jing Ci, you can play with Xiao Ping." "Xiao Ping is a man, Jing Ci has a pimple with her, and it is not suitable for the back garden.

Jing Ci looked at Xiao An's distant figure and muttered, "Xiao An is very familiar with the county lord of Fangcheng......

"No, firstly, the two of them can play together, and secondly, the other party is the daughter of Wu Sansi, and the Xiao family has just gained a foothold in Chang'an, so it is not easy to offend." Xiao Ping said.

"Uncle Xiao is close to Wu Sansi?" Jing Ci smiled, as if casually said, "I heard that Wu Sansi has to eradicate dissidents, so he has to dredge and dredge." ”

"As far as I know, there is very little contact. Daddy sat upright, neither offending nor stammering. ”
