Chapter 286: Climbing relatives and recognizing relatives
"Xiao Mansion?" Rao Xuekong turned his head and glanced at Jin Xiaohan, who was still discussing with Rao Yuanzhi, and said, "Let's go, I'll take a look." ”
There are not many Xiao Mansions in this Kyoto, and they don't matter, so the only one that can come is the Xiao Mansion. Naturally, the people of Xiao Mansion couldn't know that Jin Xiaohan was here at this time, so it wasn't him who was looking for him, he was looking for them.
When they arrived at the front yard hall, Mrs. Rao was sitting with the two of them, but the person who came was sitting on the main seat, and Mrs. Rao was sitting in a partial position.
Both of them were women, one was middle-aged and the other was a girl.
Isn't Mo the eldest lady and young lady of the Xiao family? Rao Xuekong glanced at it, and then walked in.
"Mother, a guest is coming?" She clenched the word "guest" and swept her gaze lightly over the two of them.
"Xuekong, this is Second Mrs. Xiao, as well as Miss Xiao of the Xiao family, Miss Chang." When Mrs. Rao saw her coming, she hurriedly got up and came over to help her, while introducing her.
In the past few days, because she knew that the Xiao family had made some moves, Rao Xuekong had already read the information of the Xiao family from Qingchuan, and she naturally knew about the second Mrs. Xiao and Miss Biao.
The Xiao family is also a big family, and the current eldest master of the Xiao family is also Jin Xiaohan's uncle Xiao Zhi'an, although he has no official position, he has land in his hands, a lot of land, and countless long-term workers and countless Zhuangzi. Mrs. Xiao Meng's family, her mother's family is a little powerful, but it is also a borrowed momentum, Mrs. Xiao is from Dingcheng Bo's mansion, she is Dingchengbo's sister, and she is the aunt of the second lady Dingcheng Bo who participated in the noble daughter with Rao Xuekong last time. When he saw this, Rao Xuekong felt that Jin Xiaohan did have a very poor relationship with the Xiao family. Last time in the palace, she hadn't seen him say half a word to the second lady of Dingcheng Bofu, so it was a bit of a relationship.
And this Xiao's second wife, Chang Shi, is the wife of Xiao Zhi'an's younger brother, and the sister of Chang Zhi, the right counselor, and the one next to her is Chang Zhi's daughter, Chang Huailing.
I just don't know that Chang Zhi Chang is still sitting in that official position?
"Miss Chang, we met again, I don't know if Miss Chang is okay?" Rao Xuekong smiled lightly. Slanted glance at Chang Huailing. This is always cherished. It was said in the palace a few days ago that her father said that Rao Yuanzhi relied on his daughter's beauty to ascend to the throne, that Miss Chang.
This world is impermanent, who knows how many days it will take. And these two came to the door.
Chang Huailing is not a person with a city. So the face is naturally not very good-looking at this time. The tone is also a little stiff: "What if it's good, what's bad about it?" ”
Chang Shi coughed and said, "Huai Ling." How to speak? ”
Chang Huailing snorted and didn't speak, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, Rao Xuekong could see that her movements were deliberately showing the elegant side, but unfortunately it was too deliberate and seemed stiff.
Mrs. Rao helped Rao Xuekong to sit down on the side, and now the two of them sat in the guest seats.
Xiao's second wife, Chang Shi, looked at Rao Xuekong and said with a smile: "It is rumored that Xuekong is beautiful outside, and now when I see it, it really deserves its reputation." ”
"Second Mrs. Xiao has won the award." Rao Xuekong replied lightly, "I don't know if Second Mrs. Xiao came over today, is she looking for my mother or my father?" ”
Chang smiled very kindly and kindly, and said: "Xuekong, I'm Xiao Han's second aunt, you see that sooner or later you will have to change your words, we are a family." The second aunt came up to recognize her in-laws, and she didn't mean anything else. Huai Ling, idle at home is also idle, I think she is about the same age as you, it is a good thing that you two sisters are close, so I brought her too, Xue Kong should take Huai Ling to your yard to play, and the second aunt and your mother will talk casually. ”
When Rao Xuekong heard this, he almost didn't spray her blood. This is inexplicable, she has an extra second aunt and an extra sister!
If this parent is so easy to recognize, why don't they go directly to the General's Mansion?
Rao Xuekong gave Mrs. Rao a look, and then lowered her eyelids and said nothing. Mrs. Rao also laughed: "Don't hide it from Second Mrs. Xiao, our family has always been a little withdrawn, and because I am stupid, she has to worry about everything in this house, so she doesn't have much time to play with the little girls." Besides, the Xiao family is a big family, and our family has always been used to being casual, and in terms of behavior, I am afraid that Miss Chang will not be used to it. ”
Chang tried his best to get closer, and Mrs. Rao pulled the two sides apart very thinly, and anyone could hear the rejection in her words clearly.
Rao Xuekong secretly hooked the corners of his mouth.
I thought that Chang should have understood, but I didn't expect her to maintain the same smile, and continued to say cordially: "Mrs. In-law can't always be used to the snowy sky, you think, she is about to marry into the General's Mansion, as the wife of the General's Mansion, this social interaction should also be learned." Although Huai Ling is still young, she is okay in this regard, so let her talk to Xuekong more. ”
This Chang is really a character.
Rao Xuekong raised his head and asked, "Second Mrs. Xiao came over this time, does the old lady of the Xiao family know?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Second Lady Xiao's laughter immediately paused for a moment, but then she laughed again: "Xuekong said this, the second aunt is not a child anymore, so she will not have to annoy the old ancestor when she goes out to walk down the relatives." ”
"Second Mrs. Xiao still call me Miss Rao, this second aunt or something, if it spreads out now, others should think that I am Meng Lang, no matter what kind of relatives I have, I have to wait for me to pass the door in the future, and my husband will introduce me, does Second Mrs. Xiao say yes?"
After leaving Rao's Mansion and getting into the carriage, Chang Huailing's temper couldn't hold back.
"Auntie, I said it all, that Rao Xuekong is not a good thing! You still don't believe it! Did you hear that? What are those words she says? Didn't take us seriously at all! ”
Xiao's second lady Chang patted her hand and said, "You kid, what did your father tell you when he came out?" Now his future is worrying, and others are eager to have a relationship with Jin Xiaohan and the Rao family, but unfortunately they can't have a relationship! Let's talk a little bit about it, but we have to hold on to it? If the two of them can say a good word for your father in front of the emperor, your father will turn over immediately, and he won't have to worry about peace at home alone. ”
Chang Huailing wondered: "If you want to say that Cousin Xiaohan has this status in front of the emperor, I still believe that she is Rao Xuekong, what kind of thing?" Isn't it just because Cousin Xiaohan likes her? ”
"She can make your cousin Xiaohan say in public that she is the only one to marry her, what do you say she is?"
"I don't believe that Cousin Xiaohan can like her for long! Auntie, didn't you often tell me before, no matter how good-looking this woman is, when she gets older, her appearance will become a flower and a remnant moon. ”
"What a fool, how old is she now? Not more than two years older than you, right? It will take many years until they are crippled. Second Madam Xiao glared at her and said, "Besides, weren't you also in the palace on the day of the palace banquet?" Didn't you see it yourself? Then Rao Xuekong is just good-looking? The eldest lady in our family heard the news from her mother's family, but said that this Rao Xuekong hooked all the princes! ”
Chang Huailing had nothing to say.
"You see you couldn't pull down just now to coax her well!"
"Okay, okay, aunt, if there is a next time, I will please her, okay! However, if you brought me to Rao Mansion like this, Old Ancestor Xiao would be unhappy when he found out. ”
"It's okay, it's been decades, and I know how to deal with that old thing." Second Mrs. Xiao pursed her lips and said: "That old thing still thinks that he is really the ancestor of everyone, but he has raised Jin Xiaohan for four years, so he thought that he could hold him firmly, and this time he wants to be domineering, and he doesn't look at what his identity is now!" Phew! If the entire Xiao family acted according to her wishes, they could only push this noble family farther and farther! I'm not that stupid. ”
The carriage was getting farther and farther away from Rao's mansion, and Changsheng reported to Rao Xue in the garden.
"Well, Second Lady Xiao had such an idea, but it was not what I expected. Okay, Changsheng, don't stare at them, Second Lady Xiao's thoughts are understandable. Rao Xuekong said.
"Yes, girl."
Since Rao Xuekong and Jin Xiaohan reconciled, Jin Xiaohan's Xuanyi group was basically given to her, and Changsheng was naturally under her command.
According to Jin Xiaohan's words, in the future, he will have a large army in his hands, and there will be more and more people who can use it, but this Xuanyi group behind her back is the best in her hands, this Xuanyi group, even the four princes, that is, the new emperor, don't know.
Jin Xiaohan and his people, how to say it, he and the new emperor are indeed very good brothers, but he still did not hand over all his hole cards, this Xuanyi group, although there are not many people now, but it can also play the strongest role when necessary.
"Changsheng, the craftsman you asked you to find last time, but you found it?"
"Back girl, that person is not in Kyoto, but someone has already found his residence, but that person is not very good-tempered and has blown our people away." Immortal returns.
"People with ability have more personality," Rao Xuekong said with a smile: "This is normal, let people ask him what he likes and do what he likes." ”
After explaining the matter, Rao Xuekong returned to Jingxue Courtyard, and the two men had already set her life's events, and eight days later, they got married. Most of the other details were settled.
"We don't have a lot to do with our relatives, but we have wronged you?" Jin Xiaohan asked the first thing he said when he saw her come back.
Rao Xuekong was very surprised: "I thought you would be as grand as you are." ”
Jin Xiaohan shook his head, and Rao Yuanzhi explained for him: "Xiaohan said that his parents are also gone, and there are no relatives who are close, and those who don't know each other are just socializing, no one will sincerely congratulate each other, so why bother to show others?" The situation of our Rao family in Kyoto is similar, so"
Both men looked at her with some apprehension, for fear that she would be angry.
Rao Xuekong smiled: "What are you doing looking at me like this?" I raise my hands in favor of this decision. Getting married is just a matter of the two of us, and the two of us, and it is true that I can't do it for others to see, even if you don't say it, I will mention it myself. (To be continued......)
