Chapter Fifty-Eight: Xiao Jing
New brother-in-law?
Xiusun rolled her eyes in her heart, she was past this age of curiosity, no matter whether the new brother-in-law looked round or flat, or couldn't escape one nose and two eyes, and at this time, the people in the outer courtyard were messy, what should I do if I collided with someone.
"Miss, slow down!" The little magpie was very fast, and she was about to catch up with them, but she was blocked by a maid holding a box, and she quickly bypassed it and accelerated again. After that, the two nurses have been thrown away a long way.
"There are too many people in the outer courtyard." She shouted at the top of her voice, and the firecrackers became louder and louder, and they were about to deafen her.
"I didn't ...... Things, let's take a shortcut! Xiuyun also said loudly, her voice looming.
Then he took Xiuqian and Xiusun and turned into the corridor next to the open hall.
Xiuyun can't see it on weekdays, her small body is so strong, she has run for such a long time without resting, and she is still so full of energy when she shouts, "You can go through two courtyards in front." ”
Along the way, through the hall, the corridor, the alley, and the hall, Xiusun had to run forward, because she was left behind here and she might not be able to find her way back for a long time.
Until I entered another passage, there were suddenly more people, maids and maids holding various boxes, some people who looked like guests, and children running around like them.
Xiuyun was agile, holding Xiuqian's hand to dodge left and right to maintain a fairly fast speed and rush towards the second gate, but unfortunately Xiusun became the big "tail", and Xiuqian always almost hit people with Xiuqian's left and right swings.
Finally, when Xiuyun pulled the two of them to quickly get between the two, Xiusun and Xiuqian's oily hands finally unhooked.
Due to inertia, Xiusun slammed into an ironclad figure.
Xiuqian called her sister twice, and her voice drifted away into the distance like the wind blowing red, disappearing into the crackling sound of firecrackers.
Xiusun only felt that his forehead hurt very much, and an overwhelming touch of blue blocked all the light and turned into a pitch black, and his whole body threw himself on a tall and sturdy figure, the figure did not move, but Xiusun lost his balance and fell back softly, but was steadily grabbed by a pair of big hands.
This collision, faced, real, only felt that the Milky Way in the night sky sank to the ground and flew around her head.
"Miss, I'm catching up with you." The little magpie finally followed, hunched over and held his knees to catch a few breaths, and when he saw that there were outsiders, he quickly retreated to stand behind Xiusun. At this time, Xiuqian and Xiuyun's nurse chased after her, and when she saw the code of the little magpie, she could only continue to look for it in the front yard.
"This girl, reckless." A warm and soft voice sounded above her head, sounding very young, and her large, warm fingers helped her straighten out her bangs that were split in the middle.
Xiusun held on to the arm and stood firmly, but looked up but was stunned on the spot.
This person is majestic and long, slightly hunchbacked, with black hair like ink, a white face and beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, dressed as an ordinary scribe, and looks like he is in his forties, but Xiusun knows that this person is now in the age of sixties.
He is the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, Xiao Jing, the person who watched her grow up in her previous life.
But why is he here? Was it a business trip, or was he also implicated in the turmoil of the previous days?
Xiusun remembered that Xiao Jing was promoted by the emperor's grandmother, and now that the emperor is in power, how could he continue to be in his original position? Could it be that he was also sent to Jinling to grow vegetables? Recently, a number of officials and eunuchs have indeed been transferred to Jinling, and the officials have entered various pension departments in Jinling, and most of the eunuchs have been filled into the Jinling Pure Army.
Looking at Father-in-law Xiao's loving and warm smile, he looked good, and he didn't have the panic and decadence of falling from a high position, but it was also, Father-in-law Xiao was also belittled many years ago, and that time he went to Changping to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Because you've experienced ups and downs, have you seen it? Xiusun was thinking about it, and suddenly noticed Xiao Gonggong's inquiring eyes.
Xiusun was full of excitement, and quickly took a small step back as if innocently, stood firm, saluted respectfully, and said with a smile, "Thank you, old man." ”
The little magpie bowed her head and followed behind Xiusun and saluted.
Gonggong Xiao has served the Son of Heaven for three generations, twice served as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch of Bingbi, he was an errand boy in the library of the palace when he was young, and he has a ability to never forget, as long as he reports the name of the book, he can immediately tell you which library the book comes from, which book on which shelf. Xiusun asked many times when he was the county lord in his previous life, and this Xiao Gonggong never missed it.
In his previous life, Xiusun called him Grandpa Xiao.
Gonggong Xiao smiled and waved his hand, "You're polite, you're polite." ”
I also saw that Xiusun was wearing an apricot red anchovy chrysanthemum dark flower cloud satin square neck short jacket, and the lower body was a grass and blue satin colorful butterfly love flower horse face skirt, and there was a red gold moire ring on the chest, and a mutton fat jade lock plate was hung below.
"Little girl, I want to ask you something, do you know where the second old lady of this house is?"
When Xiusun heard him ask, she looked up at him obediently, "You are my second grandfather's friend?" Are you here for a drink? The banquet officially opened in the afternoon, and the second grandfather should be in the front hall at this time. I'll take you there. ”
Father-in-law Xiao is so smart and unforgettable, if she perfunctory him, she will offend people.
Gonggong Xiao is wearing an ordinary indigo dark pattern satin with a cotton jacket today, holding a folding fan in his hand at will, and he is followed by a person who looks like a small servant, who looks fine and tender at first glance, should be a little eunuch.
She smiled warmly and leaned sideways in a gesture of please, meaning she was here to lead the way. She said that she wanted to know the general meaning of Gonggong Xiao, she had never heard of the second old lady Chu Changxun befriending the eunuch before, and he cherished his feathers so much, would he be willing to see Gonggong Xiao, Xiusun didn't believe that Gonggong Xiao made a special trip to congratulate the Chu family.
Seeing that Xiusun was going to take her to the outer courtyard hall, the smile on his face did not have the slightest crack, and he continued to say kindly, "I have something to discuss with my second grandfather, so take me to his study." ”
"Okay, please come with me." Xiusun smiled sweetly, said without thinking, turned around and gestured in the other direction, and walked in front to lead the way.
It seems that he took advantage of this wedding banquet to sneak in by himself, and he doesn't want anyone to know that he has come to find the second old lady, Xiusun muttered in his heart. In this way, there should be something to talk about, or rather, negotiations.
It's so much trouble, I'm afraid it won't be for the sake of tea.
However, she just has to lead the way, anyway, with Grandpa Xiao's ability, even if she doesn't lead the way, he can find the second old lady himself, as for what they plan to talk about, it's not for her to ask as a child. (To be continued.) )
