Chapter 69: The Guest

The Xiao family received the letter, and the sixth uncle Xiao Lizhi set off the next day, and Xiao Chengzhi also followed, from the Xiao family to Jiankang, less than ten days in between.

Hearing that the sixth uncle had arrived at the palace, Xiao hurriedly summoned the maid to Beiyuan to inform Tao Ge, and then rushed to the front hall.

It was afternoon at this time, and Sima Daozi was not at the house. The head of the Xiao family came, and the news quickly spread to Dongyuan, Wang Minhui hurriedly went to the front hall to meet the guests, and the Liu family was also here with Wang Minhui at that time, so he also followed.

Xiao Shi rushed to the front hall first, at this time the sixth uncle was already sitting in the guest seat to eat tea, she entered to look at the sixth uncle, and suddenly saw a six or seven-year-old boy sitting on the chair on the right hand of the sixth uncle, so he glanced at it, but was stunned, and said, "Chengzhi is also here?"

Chengzhi took a sip of tea, and didn't seem to like to deal with Xiao's, so he only said lightly: "Hmm."

Xiao Shi knew his thoughts, he had always been good with Su Su, and when she drove Su Su away four years ago, Cheng Zhi naturally hated her.

She smiled helplessly, walked to the guest seat opposite the sixth uncle and sat down, and said, "The sixth uncle has arrived in Jiankang, why don't you send someone to the palace to tell me, and I will pick you up."

The sixth uncle seemed disdainful, lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Why don't you see the prince?"

Xiao Shi was quite stunned, she invited the sixth uncle to come to the palace, and she didn't tell Sima Daozi, it's not that she didn't want to tell him, she just felt that the time had not come, she originally planned to wait for the sixth uncle to arrive in Jiankang, and then she would talk to Sima Daozi about it, but she didn't want to say that the sixth uncle had already arrived.

She was about to answer, when Wang Minhui and Liu walked in outside, Wang Minhui entered the door and said with a polite smile: "The prince entered the palace early in the morning, and he must be back soon."

Xiao Shi suddenly heard Wang Minhui's voice, and was startled at first, looked sideways, and got up to give up his seat respectfully and politely, but his heart was full of reluctance.

But after all, she is a concubine, and she doesn't need to scruple about anything on weekdays, but today the sixth uncle is here, as a member of the Xiao family, she should know the etiquette and respect the main room.

When the sixth uncle saw Wang Minhui, he immediately put down the teacup, stood up and waved at her, "Princess Langya."

As he spoke, he looked sideways at Xiao Chengzhi, and when he saw that he was still sitting, he hurriedly called him to get up and salute, Chengzhi got up, and waved at Wang Minhui without saying a word.

Wang Minhui had already walked to the center of the front hall, standing one step away from the sixth uncle, she raised her hands, motioned for him to straighten up, and said, "The head of the Xiao family doesn't need to be polite."

At the end, he looked at Xiao Chengzhi, pretending to love it, raised his hand and touched his head, and said with a smile: "This is Chengzhi?" It's really likable, the same size as the son of the world. ”

Xiao Chengzhi didn't speak.

The sixth uncle smiled, Wang Minhui withdrew his hand, made a gesture to him, pointed to the seat behind him, and said with a smile: "Sit down."

Wang Minhui said, Xiao Chengzhi sat down immediately, and the sixth uncle still did not move, until Wang Minhui walked to the place where Xiao sat opposite him and sat down, he took his seat.

And Xiao and Liu stood side by side behind Wang Minhui.

"The head of the Xiao family came to the palace in person, but what's the matter?" Wang Minhui asked before she sat down.

Xiao Shi was slightly stunned, the sixth uncle was just going to reply, and Sima Daozi actually came back at this time.

Sima Daozi walked in and saw that Wang Minhui and Liu's Xiao were here, and when he saw the head of the Xiao family and a young child here, he was very puzzled and at a loss.

Wang Minhui immediately smiled and said, "I just prayed to the prince, and the prince will come back."

The sixth uncle stood up again and said, "King Langya."

Xiao Chengzhi sat and picked his fingers, pretending not to see it.

Sima Daozi nodded, signaling that the sixth uncle didn't need to be polite, and then went to the main seat and sat down.

Xiao Shi was quite stunned, and was about to open her mouth to tell the sixth uncle that she came quickly, but she didn't have time to tell him.

Who would have thought that the sixth uncle had already asked: "I don't know what happened when King Langya summoned me with a book of speed?"

Sima Daozi was slightly stunned when he heard this, how could he have intersected with the head of the Xiao family, let alone that Kuaima had summoned him to Jiankang.

He knew that this was wrong, and looked at Xiao Shi, who looked at him with a hint of a sneer, which seemed quite embarrassed.

Sima Daozi frowned, Wanwan is like this, didn't she invite the head of the Xiao family to come over in his name?!

Xiao Shi faced the sixth uncle and smiled gently: "Sixth uncle, in fact, I invited you over in the name of the prince."

Sima Daozi listened, and guessed a thing or two about her intentions, it just so happened that she recognized Su Su a few days ago, and now she invited the head of the Xiao family to come over, presumably it was also Su Su's business.

After hearing this, the sixth uncle twisted his eyebrows into the word "Sichuan", he was clearly unhappy, glanced at Sima Daozi, and then looked at Xiao Shi, slightly lowered his voice, and reprimanded: "Nonsense! Wanwan, you are a concubine, how can you be so bold and reckless, dare to use the name of King Langya privately! ”

He originally intended to blame the Xiao family for using Sima Daozi's name to pass a book to him, telling him to make this trip in vain.

Xiao Shi is timid and difficult to answer.

Hearing this, Liu couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his mouth and sneer, and said, "Sister Wanwan is used to being arrogant, what else she doesn't dare, it's just that the head of the Xiao family doesn't know."

The Xiao family is a scholar family, the ancestors have been scholarly for generations, the Xiao family is full of wealth, the daughter of the Xiao family is knowledgeable, the Xiao family married into the palace, how can it be rude in front of others, the sixth uncle heard that the Xiao family was arrogant and domineering, and naturally shamed her.

Wang Minhui secretly glanced sideways, peeked at Xiao, and then retracted her gaze, turned sideways and deliberately glanced at Liu, and reprimanded: "How can you talk too much!"

Sima Daozi relieved the siege for the Xiao family, and said: "Wanwan's move is approved by this king."

Wang Minhui smiled without a trace, Liu's heart was displeased, but Xiao's heart was full of joy, and he responded: "It was the prince's permission that I did this."

Sima Daozi frowned, but didn't say anything after all.

The sixth uncle didn't hesitate, and asked with a stiff face, "You called me over, what's the matter?"

His tone was cold, not at all as respectful as Sima Daozi's words.

Xiao said: "Before the death of the hostess, she instructed me to find Su Su, and now I have found Su Su, and I specially asked the sixth uncle to come and bring her back to the Xiao family, recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors!"

The sixth uncle was stunned, his face was stiff, and looking at his expression, he was clearly unwilling to take Tao Ge back to the Xiao family.

At that time, Tao Geshang was in Beiyuan, sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard and embroidering with Ziji.

The two of them both embroidered mandarin ducks, Ziji embroidered them well, and Tao Ge had embroidered them for a while, but they were a little ugly.

Tao Ge felt good about himself and said with a smile: "I'm still a newbie, and I don't look much worse than my sister's."

Ziji saw the mandarin duck and laughed: "If you embroider like this, even if you are begging, you may not accept it."

Tao Ge was not happy, put away the handkerchief and stood up, and said, "My embroidery skills are not as good as my sister's."

After that, Tao Ge was about to enter the house, but he heard the maid calling, "Tao Ge girl."

She turned around and said, "The sixth uncle of the Xiao family is here, and he is in the front hall, Aunt Xiao, please hurry up."
