==Chapter 11==

The rest of the words, Duchess An Guo did not say, but the servant woman already understood the meaning.

Not to mention that Xiao Hang has been enduring the county lord of Chaoxia, in fact, Duchess An Guo is too.

In advance, this is a bit far.

At the time of the previous dynasty, the Xiao family was just an extremely remote branch of the Xiao clan in Lanling. When the world was in turmoil and people's hearts were unstable, the seventh-generation head of the Xiao family saw that Mingjun took refuge in Daqi Tai/Zu Muyan, not only supported the whole family, but also married his daughter to Mu Yan as his wife.

Who would have thought that he would really be crushed. Since then, the Xiao family has jumped up and become a famous family in Daqi. However, the family gate lords who were rampant in the previous dynasty gradually declined due to the baptism of war and the change of dynasty, and after that, there were only a few left.

When the Great Qi Dynasty was founded, the Xiao family was described as beautiful, and the head of the family was named the hereditary Duke of Anguo, and became a very noble relative of the emperor's family.

But the moon is cloudy and sunny, how can life be perfect, Queen Xiao may have enjoyed the blessings and failed to give birth to a male heir. Although he has always been in love with the Tai/Zu young couple, the throne is not his own son, and everything he says is nonsense. Because of this, the Xiao family failed to go further and became the foreign family of the Son of Heaven.

However, after all, the status of the Xiao family is here, and Queen Xiao is kind and generous, the new monarch has no grudges with the Xiao family, and she respects the Xiao family very much on weekdays. This is the second generation.

The Xiao family is already lacking in heritage, although it is tied with the Qinghe Cui family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Xingyang Zheng family to become the four major families of Daqi, but in the end the confidence is insufficient. Seriously speaking, in addition to the fact that the Xiao family had a good vision at the beginning and pressed the right treasure, they ate only a woman's meal after that, that is, the reputation of the descendants was supported.

Although the Xiao family brought a high hat to themselves, they said that it was the Lanling Xiao family. It's okay to bluff other people, and most discerning people know that this is putting a high hat on themselves. The Lanling Xiao clan has a long reputation, but the luck is not good, first took refuge in the wrong Ming Lord, and then the world was in turmoil several times The flames of war were not far from Lanling County, and therefore the Lanling Xiao clan was affected, the main branch was killed and wounded, and the attached side branches were also divided due to the war, and migrated to various places.

Seriously, there is no Lanling Xiao anymore.

However, the Xiao family is indeed separated from the Lanling Xiao family, and it can also be considered the same. But you must know that the reason why the family gate valve is so powerful is not only a name, but also the long-term accumulation of the family and the accumulation of contacts, which the Xiao family does not have. Although it is tied with the other three gate valves to become the fourth largest family, this statement is also a little lacking.

Having enjoyed the honor of the opening of the dynasty, how could the Xiao family allow their family to gradually decline?

Marriage with various families to strengthen their power is one of them, and in the royal family surnamed Mu, the Xiao family has not forgotten to work hard. Therefore, when the royal family inherited the third generation, the Xiao family gave full play to its unique vision and married their daughter into the fourth prince Wei Wang, who was not conspicuous at that time, as a side concubine. The Xiao family wanted their daughter to be the concubine, but unfortunately they didn't win it.

This side concubine is the second daughter of the current Duchess of Anguo, and now Queen Xiao.

In fact, it can't be said that the Xiao family has a unique vision, but it is just a comprehensive net and focused on fishing. The three princes of the Xiao family are optimistic, and they all marry the daughters of the Xiao family as concubines. Some are concubines, and some are side concubines, but because there are many emperors and princes, they don't show the scheming and scheming of the Xiao family.

In the end, he was indeed pressed by the Xiao family, King Wei ascended the throne as the emperor, and after the concubine was sealed, Concubine Xiao was named Concubine Xiao. Later, the queen died early due to illness, and Concubine Xiao was posthumously named the successor. The Xiao family has become a veritable descendant.

It's just that the situation at this time is not as easy as when the dynasty opened, the first queen died and left a son, who was named the prince in his early years, and then Empress Xiao gave birth to an heir, but Emperor Chengyuan and the first queen had a deep affection, and did not want to change the meaning of the prince. And there are countless favorite concubines in her harem, and Queen Xiao's advantage is not so obvious. For this reason, the Xiao family will work Princess Changping, the sister of Emperor Chengyuan.

In fact, seriously speaking, the reason why the Xiao family was able to be named the successor was that Princess Changping did make a lot of efforts. It's just that Empress Xiao has been the queen for many years, and the role of Princess Changping is not so great, and the county lord of Chaoxia is really a little unreasonable, which provokes the Duchess of Anguo to complain about the mother and daughter.

All kinds of mixed thoughts crossed in the mind of Duchess An Guo, and being in her position, the whole Xiao family's inner house was under her control, and she was naturally not simple.

After being silent for a long time, Duchess An Guo suddenly smiled meaninglessly: "That girl is also a smart person, but she was bumped into by Gorou so coincidentally." ”

This kind of sensitive issue, even if Aunt Hu is a confidant of Duchess Anguo, she does not dare to interject. Just hung his head and stood solemnly, and information about the mother and daughter flashed in his mind.

As the owner of the Xiao family's inner house, although Duchess An Guo has never ignored it, it does not mean that she does not know. Including the death of Tsukihime, she also knew about it, but she didn't pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, it was only a month, and things came to Xiao Hang's eyes, and it seems that the miserable little girl in Goro's mouth is not simple.

"By the way, how was that arranged? Can the list of each room be reported? After a long moment of silence, Duchess An Guo suddenly asked.

Aunt Hu was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, and nodded hurriedly.

Duchess An Guo bowed her head slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, let's add the names of those girls and those two girls, since Goro is interested, give them a chance." As for whether they can grasp the opportunity, it depends on whether they have this blessing. Lest Gorou complain about me as a mother, there can also be an excuse from the county lord......"

The expression on Duchess Anguo's face was not obvious, but when Aunt Hu came to see it, she saw that it was a joke.

She didn't dare to think about it, so she hurriedly responded and retreated.

It's really a blessing, it depends on whether those two girls have this blessing. This thought just flashed through Aunt Hu's mind for a moment.

Since that day, Danan's life has returned to its previous peace.

Because of the target of Xiao Nan, Da Nan's life is smoother than before. The contradiction between the two sisters is in everyone's eyes, and Rou Ji also knows it. Because of Da Nan, she deliberately asked Da Nan privately what was going on.

Da Nan didn't hide it, and told Rou Ji what Xiao Nan told her bitterly, and she naturally didn't mention the entanglements in her previous life.

After hearing this, Rou Ji's head was also big.

In the final analysis, she and Yueji have a tacit sympathy for each other, so what they meet each other every day is kindness, but there is more affection, but it gets along with the big girl.

She can't give birth, and she grew up watching the big girl, so she naturally has an empathic effect. And unlike Da Nan, Xiao Nan is not familiar with her, if it weren't for Da Nan, she would be a strange child. Now that Yueji has died, the two children left behind have a conflict, Xiao Nan is young, because Ah Niang's death blames Da Nan, and Rou Ji can also understand. But looking at Da Nan's hidden hurt eyes, the words of persuasion were unspeakable.

They are all children, maybe it will be better after a while, after all, they are siblings, and they break bones and tendons. Rou Ji can only think so.

No one knows, but there is actually a trace of anxiety hidden under the calm of the big girl.

After all, it is a matter of one's own body, even if with Xiao Jiuniang's mind in her previous life, if she encounters a shortcut that can change her fate, she cannot be calm.

This shortcut is based on what she knew in her previous life, and after all kinds of planning and deployment, if it can be achieved, it can undoubtedly save a lot of things for Da Nan, and can change the difficult situation in the early days of her previous life.

After the death of Yuehime, the eldest girl in the previous life still faced the difficulties that came one after another in the courtyard. Because there was no reborn Xiao Jiuniang to interfere, Yun Ji was aggressive before, and Da Nan did not use that kind of ruthless means, but blocked Yun Ji back as before, because many people came out to see the jokes, and Yun Ji naturally hated it even more.

After Yueji died, Yun Ji's revenge came, and it was extremely difficult to take care of Xiao Nan, who was sick due to A-Niang's death.

But Da Nan gritted his teeth and persevered, coupled with the help of Rou Ji in secret, he stumbled and stumbled for a few more years. In the fourteenth year, he deliberately designed to appear at the Xiao family's banquet and amazed the audience with a song 'Green Waist Dance'.

Afterwards, there were naturally people from above, and the daughter of the cheap slave was revealed in front of people.

It is also created by the times, there are not many daughters of Da Nan's generation, the Xiao family started by marriage, and after tasting the sweetness, they naturally will not let go, the more daughters the better, and the appearance and talent are outstanding and the best. is also very willing to spend money on the cultivation of daughters in the family. If you don't have an identity, you will be given an identity, everything is the best, and it will naturally be used by the Xiao family when you grow up.

In the previous life, it was also at this time that the Xiao family had privately selected the daughter of the Xiao family who was outstanding. These people not only include a few low-status maidservants in the inner fifth room, but also some daughters surnamed Xiao in the outer eighth room. Once selected, they will be arranged into the inner five rooms and incorporated into the family tree, although the status is not as good as the concubine of the eight classics, but its status and future are not comparable to before.

In her previous life, Da Nan didn't know this, but it was Rou Ji who heard some words and phrases mentioned to Da Nan afterwards, which made her take her heart. Da Nan has always been cunning like a fox, and he is quite scheming, so he naturally began to quietly inquire about the Xiao family, so that there would be a dance that amazed the audience.

Later, as expected, Da Nan was put into the eyes of the Xiao family, so she broke away from the courtyard and officially entered the Xiao family's house, when she was thirteen years old.

Because he started too late, he made a move to get out of the position, although he got what he wanted, but he was looked down upon by many people. and the lord of Chaoxia, who regarded her as a thorn in the eye, repeatedly made obstacles, and Da Nan found that even if she left the Lingyuan, the situation was actually so difficult.

But his life is his own, the road is his own, he can't retreat but can only advance, and he gritted his teeth and endured humiliation with the resilience of weeds. For humiliation and hatred, she never let go, she didn't report it, she didn't miss any opportunity to find opportunities to climb up for herself, and even didn't forget to fight back one by one......

Thinking of the qiē he experienced in his previous life, Da Nan couldn't calm down for a long time.

Since God let her be reborn, she naturally will not let go of her only advantage. Her advantage is that she is a prophet, and what she needs to do now is only up to heaven if she can change her fate.

Da Nan sighed softly, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and then wrung out the wet clothes in the basin and hung them on the hemp rope.

At this time, the weather is not too warm, and I am washing with well water, and my little hands have been frozen red. The white cloth that had been bandaged on her hand had already been removed and thrown away. I haven't suffered anything since I was a child, but I was burned, so naturally I didn't put it in my eyes, and things that were too eye-catching were not suitable for her at this time.

Rou Ji's maidservant Xiao Tao hurriedly ran over, she looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then ran to Da Nan.

"Auntie, go and take a look, Xiaonan and Aunt Wang had an argument, and the person seems to have fallen and injured himself."
