Chapter 204: Their Story
"Okay, it's okay, it's okay." When she arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, You Xiaoya patted the snow falling on her hat a little awkwardly, and Xiao Cui'er patted her on the shoulder.
"Why are you here today?" Xiao Huaigong heard a voice outside, and when he opened the door, he saw You Xiaoya, who was wrapped like a ball, and Xiao Cui'er, who pursed her lips as if she was laughing.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Xiao Huaigong smiled, took two steps back to the side, and motioned for the two to enter the house.
"Madame is afraid of the cold," Xiao Cui'er took the cloak that You Xiaoya had untied and explained.
"It's cold......" You Xiaoya looked at Xiao Huaigong with a funny look and looked at her, knowing that he was laughing at her for wearing too much, but at this time, she was too late to patronize and rub her hands, so how could she care about anything else.
"Oh my God, why is your house so cold?!" You Xiaoya thought that it would be warmer when she entered the house, but she screamed as soon as she took off her cloak and mask.
"I burned the charcoal basin." Xiao Huaigong followed into the house, and You Xiaoya and Xiao Cui'er had already taken the lead to the sofa.
"Xiao Gongzi, when did you burn this charcoal basin ......?" Xiao Cui'er found the charcoal basin behind the sofa and asked helplessly.
"......" Xiao Huaigong glanced at the charcoal basin brought out by Xiao Cui'er, where was there any spark, it was obviously a basin of cold ash, and he immediately laughed helplessly.
"Did Lin Xi find Bingsheng?" You Xiaoya was holding a cup of hot tea, and at her feet was Xiao Cui'er's newly raised charcoal basin, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses.
"Found it." Xiao Huaigong rubbed the purple sand cup in his hand, and his voice was calm.
"Then when are you going to go home and get married?" At the beginning, Xiao Huaigong asked You Xiaoya to help, because the family had booked him a family affair, and it was said that he was the daughter of a prince in the imperial court.
This family affair is said to be the right one, but in fact, it is also the court's efforts to win over the first water village in the south of the Yangtze River, or to put it another way, it is to test the Xiao family's attitude towards the court, and then take the next step of the policy.
Not many people know about this matter, and Xiao Huaigong also knows that this marriage basically determines the fate of the Xiao family in the future. So for the sake of righteousness, he agreed to this family affair, and now he only waits for the county lord and the Gan court and the Xiao family to summon their marriage to the world, and then officially salute.
"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the gift of the lord of Anping." Xiao Huaigong said with a light smile.
You Xiaoya glanced at it, and it was not much different from usual. But Xiao Huaigong, who always couldn't help but be in a daze, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet?" ”
You Xiaoya's gaze moved from the plate on the table.
"Appetite isn't very good," Xiao Huaigong shook his head.
"If you don't have a good appetite, you haven't eaten lunch, right?" You Xiaoya took another sip of tea and asked very clearly.
Xiao Huaigong glanced at her and shook his head again.
"Young Master Xiao. I haven't eaten two meals, how can this work? Xiao Cui'er exclaimed.
"It is said that people who practice martial arts can go many days without eating or drinking, this can't be true, right?" You Xiaoya asked Xiao Huaigong jokingly.
Madame laughed. Xiao Huaigong saw that You Xiaoya was really puzzled, and shook his head again.
"Then why don't you eat or drink, and your spirit is not good?" You Xiaoya was quite puzzled and told the truth.
“…… Maybe it's too cold. Xiao Huaigong was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that You Xiaoya was washing him, and he didn't mind much.
"Are you cold or are you worried about others being cold?" You Xiaoya took a sip of tea in her mouth and asked a little vaguely.
"Why should Madame make fun of her?" Knowing what You Xiaoya was referring to, Xiao Huaigong smiled bitterly.
"Have you ever thought about the outcome of Bingsheng knowing the truth?" After being silent for a while, You Xiaoya didn't intend to be aggressive. asked him in a relaxed tone.
"His temperament is too direct and simple, and he may do something irreparable...... So Madame will help me hide from him, right? Xiao Huaigong's expression was calm, and there seemed to be a trace of unspeakable pleading.
"You let me help you uncover Bingsheng's obsession together, don't you have an inseparable obsession in your heart? If you get married with this intention, do you think it will make you happy? ”
has been with Xiao Huaigong for so long, You Xiaoya roughly knows that he is not so much trying to let Lin Bingsheng understand that he is normal, but also letting himself let go of this relationship, but the final result is that Lin Bingsheng can indeed have a normal relationship with the female **, but he Xiao Huaigong has not been able to give up.
"......" Xiao Huaigong shook his head, and the shallow smile on his face inexplicably annoyed You Xiaoya.
"You want to say. As long as he's happy, it doesn't matter what happens to you? You Xiaoya's tone was slightly mocking, which made Xiao Huaigong stunned again.
"And then you can go and ruin another woman's life?" Continue the unrelenting sarcasm.
"......" Xiao Huaigong hadn't come back to his senses and was stunned again.
"Indeed, I can help you hide all your good intentions from him. But have you hidden yourself? You Xiaoya put down the cup, and her tone was rare serious.
"This is my fate as a descendant of the Xiao family." After being silent for a while, Xiao Huaigong calmly replied to You Xiaoya.
“…… I still don't understand how you sacrifice and sacrifice. You Xiaoya sighed in his heart, he understood that Xiao Huaigong had his own family responsibilities, and he had also heard about the complicated relationship between the Lin family, the Xiao family, and the imperial court.
After all, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Bingsheng was afraid of women at that time, the person who is now engaged to Princess Na Anping should be Lin Bingsheng, the quasi-owner of Izumo Villa.
Time after that. Because this topic was too heavy, both of them had no intention of mentioning it again, and then chatted about some things that they didn't have, and finally You Xiaoya had a simple lunch, and took advantage of the warm afternoon sunshine to hurry home. But as soon as she got out of the carriage, Zhou's mother, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly ran over.
"Madam, the eldest prince is here!" Mother Zhou whispered to You Xiaoya when she came over.
"Come on, it's coming, Mother Zhou doesn't need to be so nervous." You Xiaoya thought of the letter she received from the capital a few days ago, saying that the eldest prince Jin Yuanhang was going back to the Jin family's old house to recuperate for a period of time, and asked You Xiaoya and them to make some preparations.
You Xiaoya didn't feel anything about this, anyway, the Jin family would know about what she was doing in the Jin family sooner or later, and she couldn't hide it, so she had to continue.
However, with the letter from the Jin family last time, it also brought back two pieces of news, one is: Jin Yuanhang fell in the imperial examination. The second is: The reason why Jin Yuanhang fell was because General He Lao died.
Of course, there is another piece of grapevine, that is, Jin Yuanhang came back this time, in addition to distracting his cultivation, he still came to look for the fat pig uncle who had been missing for many days. (To be continued.) )
