Chapter 193: The Grandfather's Family (6)
Before leaving Zong Zheng's house and rushing to Yunhang Mansion, Zong Zhengke was summoned by his grandfather to the study and spoke for a long time. Zong Zhengjin's words are extraordinary, and he respects his grandparents, but he seems to have a lot of criticism for his uncle.
In the intelligence that Li Yi helped Zong Zhengke, Mr. Xiao Jiu and Xiao Fenghuan were also marked by him as "the unfathomable person of the city government". And Master Yuanzhen, who came to Yunhang Mansion in advance, also collected a lot of information about the Xiao family, wrote a few thick pieces of paper, and presented them to her.
From this, Zong Zhengke knew that her maternal grandmother was Princess Zhenyi of Yiguo, a neighbor of Tianxingguo. Now, my grandmother's fiefdom in Yiguo is secretly managed by the Xiao clan, and the annual income is an astonishing amount. And Yiguo, because Princess Zhenyi married into the Xiao family, not only got the support of the Xiao family, but even the Jokhang Empire seemed to have someone to help. Therefore, although the righteous country is small, it is rich.
Yiguo can get some benefits because of Princess Zhenyi, and it is all because Xiao Kun is the grandson of Xiao Taijun's most trusted and pampered grandson. Xiao Kun is known as Xiao Banguo, and he is a literary giant who is famous in Tianxingguo. When he was young, he studied at the Mirror Court Academy in the Great Qi Empire, and he also had a great reputation, and was one of the most outstanding students of the Mirror Court Academy.
Xiao Kun has an indifferent temperament, regards fame, fortune and power as floating clouds, and he has never held an important position in the Xiao family. But it is his temperament that is deeply liked by Mrs. Xiao. Every year, the old lady has to summon Xiao Kun to Shouchun Garden to accompany him for two or three months. Especially after Xiao Fenghuang's death, the old lady was often summoned.
Therefore, on the Xiao family, including the Xiao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, no one dares to despise Xiao Kun. Because of this, Xiao Kun's eldest daughter was born, and the old lady not only gave her the name Xiao Fenghuang personally, but also took her by her side to raise her personally for a period of time, just like Xiao Kun did when he was young.
Xiao Fenghuan is different. Although he is also Xiao Kun's child, he has not been looked at differently by Mrs. Xiao like his sister Xiao Fenghuang. Xiao Kun is also a woman over a man, and his son was thrown to Princess Zhenyi and the gentlemen, so he only cared about raising Xiao Fenghuang himself.
However, the relationship between Xiao Fenghuang and Xiao Fenghuan is very good. According to the intelligence, after Xiao Fenghuang's accident, Xiao Fenghuan personally led people to wipe out the group of horse bandits and their families. So. Take a look at Xiao Fenghuan's elegant demeanor and elegant temperament. I thought that he was powerless, and he would have to suffer a big loss.
Li Yi guessed that Xiao Fenghuan's martial arts cultivation was at least eight grades, and Master Yuanzhen concluded that Xiao Fenghuan's cultivation was definitely above the ninth grade. And Xiao Fenghuan's mentor. Very mysterious. Li Yi and Master Yuanzhen were not able to find out, but it can be guessed that they are definitely not ordinary martial artists.
Xiao Fenghuan was able to defeat Xiao Hongluan, who had many in-laws and networks, and was promoted to the position of patriarch, I am afraid that it was not like the rumors outside that it was stained with his sister Xiao Fenghuang's light reads();. but by his own true ability. I think it is also, Yunhang Xiao's huge family. How can the head of the most important clan be decided by the likes and dislikes of one person? Even if Mrs. Xiao is seriously ill, no one dares to say that she is an old fool.
Grandfather implicitly mentioned that the reason why she came to Yunhang Mansion. Involved in the competition for the title of princess of Qin State, Xiao Lao Taijun was certainly interested, and her uncle Xiao Fenghuan also spent a lot of thought. He even didn't hesitate to say that he moved Kyori's uncle and grandfather. Please ask your uncle and grandfather to repair the book and persuade your grandfather. You know, the uncle and grandfather are the elders. almost climbed to the top of the people, not everyone can move him with anything.
Therefore, my uncle is the person Zong Zhengke fears the most. The first time she met her elders, she couldn't observe them directly, but she couldn't help but be wary. Especially after she reached a deal with Xiao Pengju to help Xiao Junjun compete for the title.
After a brief reminiscence, Xiao Kun took out the prepared meeting gift and asked the Xu family to come over and hold it. Because he hadn't opened it, Zong Zhengke saw that it was just a small wooden box, thinking that it was nothing more than jewelry, so he didn't refuse, smiled and thanked the elders for their generous gifts.
The princess of Xiling also took out the greeting gift, but this time she could see it, and it was a thick gift list. Zong Zhengke knows a lot of things, and it can't be regarded as a meeting gift at all. As soon as she was about to excuse herself, Xiao Kun spoke: "Ke'er, you were wronged a few days ago, and these things are not good things, you just have to accept them." ”
In fact, Xiao Pengju has already compensated Zong Zhengke ruthlessly. He was also generous, and directly went to Zong Zhengke's account in Tianhuitong Daqian Zhuang to put 10,000 taels of gold tickets, which was converted into millions of silver.
Although that incident disgusted Zong Zhengke, it was not strict in the end. Those drugs can't kill her, and if she falls ill, the other party should have a countermeasure that won't really kill her. Therefore, in Zong Zhengke's place, that matter can be regarded as being revealed and not mentioned again.
At this time, Xiao Kun revealed the matter again, Xiao Fenghuan still smiled without changing his face, but the princess of Xiling turned pale and hung her head silently, showing a little grievance and weakness. Zong Zhengke didn't want to say anything, after all, she still wanted to keep the current situation, so she didn't refuse, and let the Xu family take the gift list.
The atmosphere in the room that had just been stagnant because of Xiao Kun's words eased somewhat, and just then, people from outside came to say that the reception banquet had been cured, and invited the masters to eat. Xiao Kun personally took Zong Zhengke, walked out of the main hall, and walked to the dining hall in the backyard. As soon as he walked, he asked how the women's school exam was.
Zong Zhengke said humbly: "Finally, I didn't lose the reputation of my grandfather and mother, and I got six superiors." Leting and Counting Pavilion also ordered the leader. ”
When Xiao Kun heard this, he stroked his beard and laughed, and his eyebrows fluttered: "My little Ke'er is really Lan Xinhui, and Bing Xue is smart. Didn't you say that you want to challenge Jue Niang, turn back, and your grandfather will personally go to press you down. ”
Zong Zhengke responded with a smile. With my grandfather personally sitting in the battle, if some people want to have some crooked ideas, I am afraid they will have to weigh it. She bent her knees and said with a smile: "There is Grandpa Lao." ”
"Huh! What to say to my grandfather is that there is no work. Xiao Kun smiled and groaned, and suddenly lowered his head and asked softly, "Ke'er, what is that Fourth Young Master Pei, it's inconvenient for my grandfather to meet him?" ”
In the speech of the Xu family, he once mentioned the Pei family of the eldest princess of Qinghe and Pei Junshao. Xiao Kun immediately fell in love, his little Ke'er will talk to others in two years, and it is the right time to look at the young man at this time, so he can't help but care.
Zong Zhengke was shocked, seeing that his grandfather looked naughty, and his eyes were full of urgency, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while. She hurriedly whispered: "Fourth Young Master Pei is just a friend of Ke'er...... forget it, don't say more, it is suspected of getting darker and darker." She shook her head helplessly.
Xiao Kun laughed again. Princess Zhenyi walked behind, with a smile on her face, but her heart was sour. In the past ten years, she has never seen Xiao Kun so happy. Now, even his somewhat rickety waist seems to have become a lot straighter. Ke'er's arrival once again lit the candle of his life and gave him a new lease of life. (To be continued)
