Chapter 43 If you are a man, you can be a national soldier
"If you beat someone, leave, that's how your Tang family disciplines their heirs?" The voice is cold and delicate, but it is born with a bit of arrogance, even if you don't see anyone, just the tone of your voice, you can't show it without the edification of being in the top position for many years, just like the queen mother who has been in the top position for a long time, it is the luxury that melts into the bones.
The Jianghu guests on the road were slightly shocked when they heard this, it was the first time they had heard that someone dared to talk to the Tang family in Youzhou like this in person, if they didn't know each other, this could be a name.
Everyone looked back, but saw that on the road behind the horse team, a convoy came belatedly, the same dozen guards, but the costumes were different, the weapons were all kinds and even looked a little chaotic, in the middle were two carriages, the back was loaded with goods, the front frame was driven by horses and horses, and the carriage was luxurious and wide inlaid with pearls and jade, but the most eye-catching thing was the small wooden sign hanging on the carriage, which was engraved with the word 'Xiao'.
Huainan Xiao.
Seeing this wooden sign, the pedestrians on the road were solemn, and they were relieved by Fang Cai's tone.
The glory of the ancestors of the Xiao family in Huainan, ordinary people are difficult to count at all, there is Xiao Chuyang, the prime minister of the current dynasty, and then there are three octagonal arches of Kuishou Street 'Xiao Lu Xu', and the inscription of Emperor Xiaozong is 'the unparalleled national warrior', which is only the court of Dayue.
Spanning three dynasties, generation after generation, the first family of the Central Plains for thousands of years, whoever is the emperor and prime minister is surnamed Xiao, which is not a joke.
The small rivers and lakes are a small mud pond for the Xiao family in Huainan, and they don't care about treating each other squarely at all, but it doesn't mean that they don't have a reputation in the rivers and lakes. Let's not talk about how many lost peerless soldiers are hidden in the treasure house of the Xiao family, just the disciples who are raised, which one is not a figure who once dominated the party.
The dozen or so guards in different costumes in front of him must be the thirteen gods of Huainan who protect the Xiao family, and they can come out together, and the only one sitting in the carriage is the contemporary head of the Huainan Xiao family, Xiao Qi, the eldest lady of the Huainan Xiao family.
After the death of the eldest son and the second son Xiao Chuyang entered Beijing to pay homage to the prime minister, the only one who could sit in Huainan was the eldest lady Xiao Qi.
The name Xiao Qi is actually quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and ten years ago, Xu Danqing went to Huainan to paint beauties, and it was for Miss Xiao, who was praised since she was a child, "If you are a man, you can be a national soldier". It's a pity that Xu Danqing was tied up by her sister and robbed her name, and Xu Danqing secretly painted two Xiangfei bamboos on the painting, which is also the reason. Xiao Qi has been smart and strategic since he was a child, and the world praises him for his grandfather's style, but he doesn't pay attention to these false names, so he naturally doesn't fight for them.
It may be that the creation makes people, the fate of the two sisters of the Xiao family is relatively bumpy, Xiao Xiang'er snatched Bakui and snatched herself into the palace, and became the queen mother at a young age, Xiao Qi is in order to sit in the Xiao family, so she can only not marry, if she does not recruit a son-in-law, I am afraid it will also end up alone.
Although Xiao Qi is a woman, her character and means are not inferior to any man in the world, sitting alone in the Xiao family, taking care of the huge Huainan Xiao family in an orderly manner, governing the family is extremely strict, even the uncles are respectful and afraid, and other families would rather come to Chang'an to talk to Xiao Chuyang than to fight Xiao Qi, you can see that this eldest lady is powerful, a typical strong woman.
Tang Jiao, who was sitting on the horse, looked back at the carriage of the Xiao family, his face changed slightly, he turned over and dismounted neatly, walked to him and raised his hand to clench his fist:
"It turned out that the head of the Xiao family came, and I was really lucky."
Next to the luxurious carriage, the thirteen gods looked at the sword soldiers with a flat gaze, and they did not have the slightest respect for the so-called Youzhou sword masters.
On the carriage, Xiao Qi opened the bead curtain and walked out of the carriage - her eyebrows and eyes were like apricots, her long hair was draped on her back, she was still dressed as a young lady who had not left the pavilion, with a hosta, and a long black skirt that outlined her gourd-like figure to the fullest, but she was not charming and green, and her aura of being in the top position for a long time was so strong that even pedestrians on the road did not dare to raise their eyes to take a closer look.
"When you meet someone who is in the way, how can you be lucky to say it?"
Xiao Qi stood on the carriage and looked at Tang Jiao condescendingly, without even greeting him, let alone returning the gift.
Tang Jiao didn't care about this straightforward sarcasm, smiled kindly, and looked back:
"The dog has no way to discipline him, so the head of the Xiao family can see the joke."
Xiao Qi looked at Kou Meng on the side of the road: "This strong man is blocking the way of your Tang family, and your son has whipped him, and now that you are blocking my way, can I also whip you?" ”
“……”
Tang Jiao pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head and raised his hand:
"Tang Xuan, come here."
Tang Xuan hurriedly trotted over, stood in front of Tang Jiao and leaned over and saluted, but before he could stand up straight, there was a crisp sound of "pop-".
The slap was slapped on the side of his face, Tang Xuan stumbled and fell on the loess official road, the corners of his mouth immediately oozed blood, and he hurriedly got up, stood up straight again, lowered his head and clenched his fists without saying a word.
Tang Jiao looked up at Xiao Qi in the carriage and smiled lightly:
"I have been disciplined, my Tang family is from the rivers and lakes, and the tutor is not as good as the Xiao family, thank you Miss Xiao for reminding me."
Xiao Qi glanced at it, and then bowed slightly: "The head of the Tang family is frank, I still have to go to Huashan, so it's not the same way." ”
"See you in the capital."
After Tang Jiao hugged his fists and saluted, he turned around and left with his son, turned over and galloped away on his horse, without any dissatisfied expression from beginning to end.
Xiao Qi stood on the carriage and watched the horse team go away, her voice was flat:
"This Tang Jiao can endure it."
Next to the carriage, Huainan Xiao's big butler 'white paper fan' Hua Jingting, shaking the fan and smiling:
"Tang Jiao is not a person from the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that his achievements are far more than ten martial arts, at least he can be a three-grade imperial eunuch,"
"Hahaha......"
The surrounding guests all laughed, obviously agreeing with these words.
Xiao Qi was not interested in this joke, and moved her eyes to the mother and son who were still standing on the side of the road:
"Are you Thunder Gong Kou Meng?"
Kou Meng raised his hand and clenched his fists and made a salute:
"Miss Xie helped each other."
Xiao Qi nodded slightly and looked at the old woman leaning on the bamboo chair: "Go and have a look." ”
Hua Jingting, who was dressed in a literary shirt, turned over and dismounted, walked to him and squatted down, raised his hand to probe the old woman's wrist, and then raised his head to look at Kou Meng:
"I've been working hard for a long time, and I can't take care of it for half a year, you have a good hand of yaksha stick, and you're still young, do you want to come to Xiao Mansion to do something?"
Kou Meng held the eyebrow stick and hesitated slightly:
"I already owe two lives, and it's hard to pay it back."
Xiao Qi walked back to the carriage and said in a calm tone: "It's okay to remember people's feelings, and it's not too demanding." Send your mother home, the old people pay attention to the fallen leaves and return to their roots. ”
Kou Meng looked at his drowsy mother, raised his hand and saluted again, before taking the medicine and Danfang from Hua Jingting's hand, and stood on the side of the road to watch the convoy go away......
