Chapter Twenty-Three: Uncle, Come Soon!

Under the same night, thousands of miles away in Huainan County.

Since ancient times, Huainan has been known as 'the throat of Zhongzhou, the barrier of the south of the Yangtze River', the rich in the south of the Yangtze River, among which the wealthy families are gathered, and the most prominent one is the Huainan Xiao family that has been inherited for thousands of years.

At the time of the handover of autumn and winter, the Huaishui bank is still like spring all year round with a little warmth.

The whole Huainan County is the territory of the Xiao family, and the ancestral house of the Xiao family is built in the suburbs, built by the river, surrounded by thousands of hectares of fertile land, the well-layered buildings are located in it, the family education is very strict, there is no bright lights at night, the scene of sheng singing, can only occasionally see from the window of the pavilion Miss Gongzi who reads at night.

A big mansion in the depths of Xiaojiazhuang is a house where the Xiao family lives and occupies a large area, but because the incense is withering, there are not many people inside, and most of them are door servants and servants.

Between the two stone lions at the gate, Xiao Tingxiao, the eldest prince of Xiao Ting, who had just been called back from the capital, was dressed in a scholar's robe and looked at the west like a wangfu stone, and he wanted to wear it, which lasted for several days.

The little girl rubbed her eyes and ran out, dissuading behind Xiao Ting:

"Childe, go back, it's so late, when the lights out time comes, if Childe is not in bed, he will be punished for copying books."

Xiao Ting held the folding fan tightly, and his eyes were full of sadness:

"Why is my uncle walking so slowly? Uncle and I have arrived, why hasn't he come here yet? It's a desperate personal ......."

The little maid sighed: "Son, don't talk nonsense, let the head of the family hear, you will be miserable." ”

"Am I not miserable enough?"

Xiao Ting raised his hand, wanting to scold a few words, but he didn't dare to speak.

Originally, as soon as Xu Buling left, Xiao Ting became the first gentleman in the capital, except for the emperor, he was the biggest, and he was not afraid of being beaten as soon as he wanted to do anything. Fortunately, just a few days after his style, a letter suddenly came, calling him back to his hometown in Huainan.

Xiao Ting grew up for the first time to experience what is called 'Xiao family style', what is called 'filial piety under the stick', his father used to be too lazy to beat him, but his aunt Xiao Qi really dared to do it, just in the past half a month, there are more words than he has written in more than ten years combined.

Now Xiao Ting's only thought is that Xu Buling hurried over and married Xiao Qi, let alone call him uncle, he can call his ancestor.

It's a pity that the speed at which Xu Buling came over was simply a turtle crawling, Xiao Ting watched it three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and sent Yingjun to run thousands of miles to Chu Di to drag it.

On the other side, in the conference hall in the middle of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Qi was wearing a long black dress, her hair was still coiled into a style that had not left the cabinet, and her eyebrows were as light as ever with a little light wind that saw through the world.

The chief housekeeper Hua Jingting sat on the Taishi chair on the side, talking about the news that came recently:

“…… If the news of the spies is correct, Zhu Liu has already entered the Eagle Tower, and is currently walking around in Chudi, the purpose is probably for the sake of the string of sword spikes in the hands of the Cao family......"

The council hall sits the Xiao family's staff and uncles, and it can be regarded as a small meeting held every day in the family.

Xiao Qi sat on the main seat, and his voice was flat:

“…… Tongtian Treasure Book is a rumor in the rivers and lakes, Zhu Liu and other characters, it is impossible to believe in the saying of 'invulnerability, feathering and soaring', and the Eagle Tower will not fight for a book left by the previous dynasty, collecting four pieces of jade, I am afraid there is another purpose......"

“…… The origin of the Eagle Tower is very clear, and the purpose must be to light a spark in the world, but it is difficult to grow to the current scale in a short period of time with just one strong Hansheng, and I am afraid that there is a chaebol or a big family behind it......"

“…… At present, it seems that there is only one line of King Su, and the prince of King Su has also arrived in Chu, will it be ......?"

Xiao Qi's face changed slightly, and there was a little displeasure between her cold eyebrows:

"If the vassal king wants to rebel, why rely on a few rivers and lakes."

Everyone thought about it, Xiao Mo, the head of the second room, was Xiao Qi's uncle, and said softly at this time:

"Xiao Qi, King Su suddenly proposed to marry the Xiao family, and directly asked his son to come over to propose marriage, without discussing it in advance. King Su opened his mouth, and the saint naturally wouldn't say anything, but the marriage between Xiao Xu and the two families was not small, so it stands to reason that he should be a little avoided. But if he refused, King Su would be offended and died. Xu Buling has not yet married, he is also a generation masterpiece, marrying you is very suitable, we discussed it in a few rooms, it is a pity to refuse, it still depends on what you mean...... "Pick up the book."

Xiao Qi's expression did not fluctuate at all, but the hands under the table were clenched tightly, silent for a while, and said softly:

"I'm thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Seeing that Xiao Qi still didn't give permission to speak, everyone couldn't say anything at the moment, so after getting up to say goodbye, they walked out one after another.

The night was quiet and quiet, and in the quiet meeting hall, Xiao Qi sat alone behind the desk, and when everyone disappeared, a little shame and grievance appeared between his eyebrows.

Last time, Xu Buling broke the overall situation laid by the Son of Heaven, Xiao Qi was shocked, and he was impressed by Xu Buling, and he felt sorry for him.

When I didn't want to pack up my sister's 'relics', I found a small note in the box containing dirty things.

Xiao Qi took out a small note from his arms that had been crumpled I don't know how many times, looked at the sentence 'goodbye, eldest miss' on it, and the weird smiling face behind it, and couldn't help but crumple the note again and throw it on the ground.

Xiao Qi's mind is different from the intelligence of ordinary people, and when she sees the words that this sentence was specially left for her, she naturally understands a lot of things.

Xu Buling had already recognized her that night and knew that she was not Xiang'er! Afterwards, they were all pretending to be stupid, pretending not to find out.

Xiao Qi felt a little dizzy when she thought of her desperate acting in order to cover up.

Why do you want to touch her when you find out?

I licked it from head to toe, and it looked ......

Xiao Qi clenched his arms, if he couldn't die, he wanted to crash to death on the pillar, and he didn't dare to think about it, but this matter had to be sorted out.

Could it be that it was only after going in that I found out that it was wrong?

But he didn't stop at that time, no light or heavy, she fainted......

Xiao Qi thought about it for a long time, in fact, she also knew that kind of situation, Xu Buling definitely didn't dare to admit it, and only on the eve of leaving Chang'an could she confess to her.

Confess to confess, she pretended that it hadn't happened, why did she come to propose marriage again for no reason? Do you want to be responsible for her?

Let's not talk about the problem of sitting in the Xiao family, she is a few years older than Xu Buling, and her sister is also in Xu Buling's family, how can she marry her......

And before Xu Buling made up his mind, he didn't even have the intention of discussing, it was just a letter 'I came to marry you', and then the boat came, and no one refused, how could there be such a proposal?

Is it expected that I will marry you?

Xiao Qitai Mountain's temper that collapsed in front of him and did not change his color was a little unstable at this time, so he got up and walked to the small note and stepped on it, and then began to pace back and forth.

Directly refused, it was obviously impossible for Xu Buling to go back, Da Yue was not surnamed Xiao, how could he stop a prince of a vassal if he had to come over......

It's even more impossible to agree, she is not Xiang'er, how can she sing with her husband and wife because she has the reality of husband and wife......

is really married, doesn't the Xiao family really want to hand it over to Xiao Ting's stupid......

What should I do......

……

Pedal Pedal –

Footsteps came and went until late at night.

Miss Xiao, who has always been able to make good decisions, may not have been so sad in her life, I just hope that Xu Buling will walk slowly, and it is best to regret not coming over halfway......
