Chapter 180: Unexpected Reinforcements

The house was heavily guarded in front of it, and the candlelight in the room illuminated the room, only shining on the Xiao family brothers who had been talking alone for a long time.

In response to the old saying that the eldest brother is like a father, Xiao Hong stood aside and listened to the lecture, like a child who had just returned home from school in the Mongolian Pavilion.

"Little Liu! If Lu Harrier can return to Yunzhou safely, I still have to punish him. And Zhou, thinking of her concern for you, I don't care about her. It's just that no matter what position she stands for, she shouldn't do anything to you, it's for your good now, if you can't stop it in the future, what will happen to you? You must let her know the respect and inferiority between husband and wife, whether she is the daughter of the Zhou family in Huocheng or the head of Yun Jinfan, if she marries into my Xiao family, she must first fulfill her duty as a wife......"

Xiao Ze taught the honest brother in front of him, and inevitably felt a trace of remorse in his heart. Regardless of Xiao Hong's coming to Jiangnan back then, or in the family affair with Zhou Manyun, he followed his younger brother's wishes to turn around in front of his father, and everything else was fine, but he watched the little girl who grew up since he was a child and finally grew into a dignified man, but was led by a delicate chick by the nose, which felt wrong in his heart.

After a while, a handful of albums snapped in front of Xiao Hong.

only glanced at the familiar cover, and a blush of shame spread from Xiao Hong's cheeks to his neck. He stiffened his neck and argued, "Brother! These specious filth have nothing to do with Manyun at all. ”

"I know this! I also believe that the woman you have your eye on will not be a slut of watery poplar. Xiao Ze's response was bland and indifferent.

"But it's an opportunity. You emphasized to the Zhou family that you are not to blame for this disaster, but after she returns to Huocheng, she must cultivate her morality, and she must no longer let the villain focus on the incidents in her life. When she was in the room, she lost the people of her Zhou family, and if she got married, it would be smeared in your face. Your relationship with her is a foregone conclusion. Then it is natural to continue to domesticate the Zhou girl. ”

"Big brother!" , Xiao Hong's lips couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't know how to answer the words held in his chest. The eldest brother actually said such a thing, but secretly combined with the assumption that Man Yun had joked about in advance, which made people intuitively feel the horror of the words from the bottom of their hearts......

Life is full of wars that come and go, but many times what exactly is being fought for. None of the people involved understood.

Man Yun changed into plain white bedclothes, sat alone in the dark room, didn't bother to pull out the candles and light the lamp, only stared at his bare wrist outside the sleeve, and the silver light coiled on his wrist in the dark was particularly conspicuous.

"Send him to Qingyuan, Xiao Ze is also here, can I go back now?" , Man Yun asked the silver in a low voice. The snake's tail swayed noncommittally, a little snake that lived by survival instinct. I have no interest in the chaos of the world at all.

Ask Yu Blind! Man Yun smiled lightly, and pointed at the silver delicate body.

The silver didn't know, but she did. There is no need to go up to Qingyuan Street, after washing away his disguise and revealing his true face, Hu Fatzi's sudden look of surprise is enough for her to understand that those portraits are already rotten streets in Qingyuan City, and the Xiao family naturally pays attention to them. Shengping has been operating in Jiangnan for ten years. This time, he was inexplicably wanted by Yun Jinfan, and he was hurt a lot, maybe Lu Harizi and others can understand, and it is normal for those Xiao family members who have no friendship to be angry.

"Although the Xiao family has long intended to withdraw from the south to the north. But taking the initiative to ease the business closure of such a last resort, the difference is big. People are so selfish, even if they don't want it, they can only lose it themselves, and they will never allow others to rob it! ”

Can you just throw it away? As soon as he heard the familiar sound of footsteps lingering outside the door, Man Yun immediately put away the silver, closed his eyes and lay down. Hold your breath.

There was a knock on the door, and it stopped, followed by the creak of the window.

If the door is closed, you have to leave a window, and duplicity is too much. Man Yun was sarcastic about his hypocrisy, and let his big cold hand slap on his shoulder.

"Manyun!". Xiao Hong's soft voice looked a little hoarse and tired, "I know you're not asleep, get up and talk to me?" ”。

From the beginning of Qingyuan and Xiao Ze, there was a little friction, and after being harshly ordered to keep the rules of the woman, Man Yun really went into the house and stayed behind closed doors for half a step and stopped stepping out, others thought she was afraid, and Xiao Hong knew that she was angry, and she was not angry.

"I'm tired! Go back to your room and rest. It is not easy to pity the boy who is suffering from the splint gas, Zhou Manyun endured it for a while and still opened the golden mouth, please walk quickly without telling the thief.

"Good!" , Xiao Hong, who got the response, immediately nodded in response, and then bowed his head and said, "Before coming to Qingyuan, I really didn't know that my brother was still staying here and didn't leave." And you asked him about crossing the river Jihua before, and I also asked just now. ”

"How did he arrange it!" , mentioning the topic of concern, Man Yun immediately turned over and sat up.

"Brother let me rest assured, he came to Qingyuan and met reinforcements, so he dared to stay here and wait for me."

The idea of using the secret contradiction between Guo and Gao's two families to stir up trouble in Qingyuan and tear up a hole to go north was affirmed by Xiao Ze, but Xiao Ze denied his method of killing people and setting fire here, saying that his two brothers could return north openly without blood.

He found a boat that had been confirmed to be able to cross the river. Is it a boat or a private boat? ”

Having said that, Man Yun already thought that it was more likely to be a private ship. According to the original Old Testament, Xiao Ze should have been sent across the river by a Shunyi boat, so that this troublesome son Nada could stay in Jiangnan and wait for his younger brother, it can only be said that the boat he found made him more trustworthy.

"Private boats. The eldest brother said that he would make an appointment with the shipowner to meet him to finalize the sailing date. ”

"Who is the shipowner?"

Further questioning did not get a clear answer, and Xiao Hong, who came to report the news, said that he was also hidden in the dark by the deceitful eldest brother.

Xiao Ze, who enjoyed a good reputation in his previous life, was once again secretly picked out a bunch of faults by Man Yun in his heart, and he was slandered.

As soon as Xiao Hong was trained, he climbed the Manyun window again, and talked secretly for a while before leaving, and almost Xiao Hong was reported to Xiao Ze's case after leaving the house with his front foot.

His younger brother is naturally haode, and he leaked the secret because of the beauty and softened his ears, so he wanted to count it on the woman's head. At this moment, Xiao Ze felt that it was extremely wise not to tell his younger brother thoroughly.

Early in the morning of the second day, Man Yun, who thought that he would be instigated by a big man to continue Xiao Hong's drying, was stunned when he woke up and saw the dress and hairpin ring brought by the maid.

Although clothes and jewelry are ready-to-buy finished products, they are worth a lot of money. It's not for her to wear it in vain, with these clothes and accessories coming to the task, when receiving the shipowner who carried the Xiao family brothers to the north, it is possible that Man Yun will attend to accompany the visiting female guests.

But it's just a possibility, Zhou Manyun just passed the ceremony, and if you talk about the Xiao family's daughter-in-law, there are still a few steps behind. In this state of unclear concubines, let her not be allowed to see guests, depending on the mood of the temporary patriarch Xiao Ze.

The scorns of the maids when they spread the rumors, and Man Yunchao didn't care.

Since entering this small courtyard, no one has explained her identity, and there will be all kinds of speculations in private. Man Yun, who had already practiced without fear of words, changed his clothes and makeup comfortably, and sat in the room and waited when everything was finished, not in a hurry or impatient.

"He Ming of the He family in Luzhou, Second Brother He! This is his sister-in-law, Minglan and Mingqi ......"

Xiao Hong, who accompanied his eldest brother to receive guests in the main hall, suddenly fell into a trance during Xiao Ze's introduction.

One of the two girls in front of him was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other looked only twelve or thirteen. The similar hibiscus face is white and red, the eyebrows are beautiful and the eyes are bright, the spring clothes of one yellow and one pink are full of the warmth of early spring, and the sixth brother who calls together when he salutes in a proper manner is a little delicate in the upright, which makes people inevitably look at it twice more when they hear the sound.

The girl in the yellow dress is more stable and generous because of her age, and her temperament is also straightforward and cheerful on weekdays, and when she saw Xiao Hong looking at her after the salute, she smiled toothily, showing a shallow pear vortex on her left cheek.

He Minglan! Stringing together names and surnames, Xiao Hong suddenly thought of the name that Man Yun had said in front of him, or the night Man Yun pounced to offer his first kiss.

Xiao Ze, who had been glancing at his younger brother with his eyes, looked down and smiled when he saw Xiao Hong's reddish earlobes, and then talked and laughed with He Ming louder, letting Xiao Hong fall into the curious questioning of the two sisters of the He family alone.

Xiao Ze didn't have the idea of protecting the media or breaking the marriage, and didn't say anything about the news of the He family's arrival, but just wanted to surprisingly let the little brother see the beauty of the Northland. Although He Minglan of the He family is still young, she can be regarded as one of the best among the girls who are close to the Xiao family and are close to Zhou Manyun.

The younger brother was just caught by the daughter of the Zhou family when he was in love at the beginning and couldn't make sense. And the women of the Zhou family are stubborn and jealous, and there are many shortcomings, although the marriage contract between the two families has been decided, but it is also a good thing to let Xiao Ze know more beauties, and there is no need to bow down to such a woman. Cheerful, generous, and able to talk to men about girls in the world, there are actually many examples in front of them.

Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Hong, who was slightly clumsy in response to He Minglan's questioning, and sighed softly in his heart. If Xiao Hong hadn't been inexperienced with women, how could he have stepped onto Zhou Manyun's thief ship?

"Brother Jimin! It would be good if the sixth prince could come to Qingyuan in time, and we could set off according to the agreed schedule. Looking at Xiao Hong and his two younger sisters with Xiao Ze's gaze, He Minglang laughed.

"What a sixth son! Siyuan, you can call him Xiaoliu! If it weren't for this stinky boy this time, why not stop at this embarrassment! Xiao Ze pretended to be dissatisfied and glared and waved his hand, directly damaging his brother.

"Xiaoliu is a good fate made in heaven, naturally you have to do good things and grind ......", He Ming, who was handsome and full of bookishness, immediately changed his temper and responded kindly.

The He family and the Xiao family have close contacts and have been friends for generations, and He Ming and Xiao Ze are also friends of the same age as they have been friends since they were teenagers. This time, Xiao Ze met He Ming who came south in Qingyuan, and in order to take a boat back to the north, he undoubtedly explained the cause and effect clearly.

"It's just that this stupid boy has taken a fancy to other people's girls, and he has to marry home. Otherwise, wouldn't it be cheap for him to marry a lady from a northland family. ”

Otherwise, He Ming couldn't respond head-on, and only laughed vaguely. Only these words came into his ears, and he looked at Xiao Hong and his sister Minglan who were talking, and actually added a sense of golden boy and jade girl to the air. (To be continued......)
