The porter of the Guogong Mansion listened to the movement, and hurriedly took the lantern out to inspect, and when he saw that it was the prince, he hurriedly asked the mansion to light up the headlights to welcome him in while untying him.

Xiao Tingxiu was not only drunk, but also had color on his face, and when he returned to the mansion, he fell to the ground, and everyone didn't know what to do, so they were so frightened that they didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly notified Xiao Hongming, the Duke of Chu.

When Xiao Hongming heard that it was this evil obstacle that caused trouble, and this time he hurt himself, he was angry and distressed, and rushed over from the back hall tremblingly.

The whole house was in trouble, and Miss Xiao Chuxiu also knew about it, and rushed to the hall with her.

As soon as I arrived in the hall, I saw my brother lying upright on the ground, and a large group of people such as the doctor, the little maid, and the grandmother next to him took turns to give him medicine, cover his warmth, and pinch people, and shouted loudly, making a mess, and she was also a little panicked, and stepped forward to support her father and asked what was going on.

The guards who followed Xiao Tingxiu told the scene like this, and did not forget to add fuel and vinegar to accuse Yin Xue Peiqi of Luo'an Mansion of helping Wang Shulin, making his family suffer a loss, and then tying up the prince back indiscriminately.

It turned out that it was just a drunken trouble, so the brother should not be seriously injured, and now he is unconscious, which should be caused by drunkenness.

Xiao Chuxiu stopped the crying crowd, instructed the waiting servants to help Xiao Tingxiu back to the room, and asked the doctor to carefully boil the sobering soup, and then carefully diagnose and treat him when he sobered up.

After a quarter of an hour or two, the hall finally quieted down, and Xiao Hongming settled down, holding hands with Xiao Chuxiu and saying, "Alas, this evil obstacle! I'm sorry for you......"

"Father, don't say that, my daughter will help you back to the room to rest first, and I will go to my brother's room to watch him, and report to you as soon as he wakes up."

Xiao Hongming patted Xiao Chuxiu's hand, then shook his head and sighed back.

Xiao Hongming has a very strong affection for his wife, and he never had the idea of taking a concubine when he was alive, so there are not many heirs, only two sons and two daughters were born, and one son and one daughter died, and in the end, only Xiao Tingxiu and Xiao Chuxiu were left two brothers and sisters. His wife died of illness ten years ago, Xiao Hongming had no intention of continuing the strings, but everything in the family also needed to be taken care of, so he accepted a concubine, and then gave birth to a daughter, only these three children in total.

Xiao Tingxiu is the only son of the Xiao family, and his degree of treasure can be seen, although Xiao Hongming is not a person who dotes on children for no reason, but he is usually busy with various affairs in the court, and he is inevitably negligent in disinforcing his children.

Fortunately, Xiao Chuxiu gradually became sensible after experiencing the change of her deceased mother, and when she saw that her brother was not successful, she forced herself to become a young man and share the family affairs for her father, so although she was gentle and dignified on the outside, she was calm and tenacious on the inside. Later, seeing that no one in the family dared to discipline his brother, he took on the important task of controlling him after he reached the age of sixteen, and whatever his aunt didn't dare to say, she said, her aunt didn't dare to do it, she did it, and it took two years of fighting with Xiao Tingxiu to bring him back a little.

Before the drunken spring garden did not have catkins, although Xiao Tingxiu was arrogant, he would not make such trouble. Since he saw the catkins, it was like he had fallen into it, and it was useless to persuade him, so he was shouting to redeem her and marry her.

The Xiao family has been a powerful minister for generations, and the poetry and books are heirlooms, and there is absolutely no way to let a dusty woman enter the door, and it is not good to be a girl.

Xiao Hongming thought that this matter was difficult, and he didn't want the willow catkins to fall in love with Wang Shulin, the prince of Changying, in this life, he had to do it, even if others offered a sky-high price to help her redeem herself, she was unwilling. This is in line with Xiao Hongming's intentions, so he also deliberately restrains Xiao Tingxiu, so that Wang Shulin can always win the field of catkins.

Zuichunyuan's bustard mother Zhang's mother is also a planner, catkins are unwilling to be ransomed, although she can't earn the redemption silver, but she can continue to keep the cash cow of catkins, this long-flowing living water is not better than the one-time backwater pool? That being the case, as long as Wang Shulin can afford the appearance of the catkins and the value of silver, the two of them will go, as long as Wang Shulin does not damage the innocent body of the catkins and drops her price.

Xiao Chuxiu stroked Xiao Tingxiu's sleeping face after calming down, and her heart was also full of mixed feelings. Reasoning, he wants to really love catkins, and it is not impossible to marry a concubine, but their family, as the long house of the Xiao family, has unavoidable baggage and pressure. These pressures came not only from the clansmen, but also from the court.

Xiao Yafei was deeply favored as soon as she entered the palace, and soon became pregnant, she didn't want the first child to be less than three months, and the good one was gone, although the process of the second child was tortuous, but it was born anyway, it was a little prince, Longyan Dayue, only the full moon gave the title, and the prince was crowned, but unfortunately he died before the age of three. Later, he finally gave birth to another son, King Xin, who is only twelve years old now.

It is not for nothing that Concubine Xiao Ya has suffered bad luck, how can those concubines who have grown princes watch their sons who have finally survived lose to a hairy boy? All the concubines in the palace who have adult princes are eyeing the favored Xiao Yafei, hoping that something will happen to the Xiao family so that the emperor will follow the forward slander, and even look for an opportunity to plant blame and blame, completely cutting off the future of King Xin, so the Xiao family does not dare to make mistakes at all, so as not to bring disaster to Concubine Xiao Yafei and King Xin.

Therefore, Xiao Hongming also resigned from his official position in the court, told the old man to move to Luo'an, and took a corner of peace to protect Concubine Xiao Ya.

The most important thing for the Xiao family is to be low-key, and it is best that everyone in the world forgets the Xiao family and Xiao Yafei.

Xiao Chuxiu didn't dare to close his eyes when he stayed up, for fear that something would happen to Xiao Tingxiu, and he would be negligent, but in the end, his physical strength was limited, and he gradually lost his strength, and finally fell asleep groggily on the side of Xiao Tingxiu's bed.

Suddenly smelling a rooster crow, Xiao Chuxiu woke up suddenly, looked at the bed and saw that there was no trace of Xiao Tingxiu, and when he looked at himself again, he was sleeping on the couch next to him, and his body was covered with a brocade quilt.

Is my brother awake?

Before she was sure that he was safe, she couldn't put her mind at ease, so she hurriedly got off the couch, put on her shoes and ran out.

"Brother-brother-", Xiao Chuxiu shouted as he walked out of the courtyard gate.

When a few little girls heard her shout, they hurriedly ran over to report, "Miss Hui, the young master has gotten up, and now he is kneeling in the old man's room to plead guilty." ”

Xiao Chuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back to his room to ask the personal maid Xining to serve him and freshen up.

"Miss, do you want to go to the master's side to see the young master later?"

"Don't go! Let him kneel down and remember it for a long time! ”

Xi Ning laughed out loud, looked at Xiao Chuxiu, who was a little angry in the bronze mirror, and smiled, "Then you don't feel distressed?" Everyone in this house knows that you are the most distressed young master. ”

Listening to Xi Ning's jokes, Xiao Chuxiu couldn't help laughing, "Alas, I just think about my father quickly marrying his daughter-in-law and letting his daughter-in-law take care of him." ”

"I don't know what the young master thinks, so many matchmakers have been kicked out by him, alas...... Isn't that catkins really relying on our young master? ”

"Don't say that in front of anyone!"

Xi Ning hurriedly slapped his mouth, stuck out his tongue and said, "Xi Ning is guilty, Xi Ning won't say anything more." ”

After freshening up, Xiao Chuxiu went to the hall to eat, and when she stepped through the door, she saw her father, brother and aunt already sitting at the dining table. When Xiao Tingxiu saw that her sister was coming, she hurriedly got up, walked over and pulled her to sit down, personally poured her a cup of tea, held it up with both hands and raised it to her and said, "Brother knows that he is wrong, it's all my brother's, don't do it again in the future, good sister, you just drink this tea, forgive my brother this time." ”

Xiao Chuxiu was still angry, but when he looked up and saw the corners of his bruised mouth, he was only distressed, so he took the tea cup angrily and said, "If your words can last for three months, I will be Amitabha!" ”

"Alas, this time it's really my brother who is too much, and Wang Shulin is angry, why bother to do it? It's all drunk, and as soon as the alcohol comes up, there is only enough left, fortunately, Xue Peiqi pulled me back, otherwise what if Wang Shulin was really beaten to death. ”

Xiao Hongming was furious when he heard this, slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", pointed at Xiao Tingxiu and said angrily, "Evil obstacles!" You see that Wang Shulin looks angry and powerless, so you think people are easy to bully? Tell you that he has followed his father to the mountain to practice Taoist kung fu since he was a child, really fight, be careful about your little life! ”

Seeing that Xiao Hongming was angry, Xiao Chuxiu hurriedly sandwiched a snack for him and coaxed him to breakfast.

After a while, Xiao Hongming suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiao Tingxiu, "I'm going to have a banquet at home tonight, and I would like to thank Xue Shinephew and Cao Shinephew, you must be there!" ”

Xiao Tingxiu hurriedly answered a few "yes".

"By the way, Chu'er, you can also attend tonight, the two nephews are not strangers, they often played together in Changxing when they were children, so they don't need to worry too much about secular etiquette."

Xiao Chuxiu nodded.

After breakfast, Xiao Chuxiu accompanied Xiao Hongming to taste tea in the water pavilion, seeing that his father still looked preoccupied, put down the teacup and asked, "Father is still worried about the grievances between my brother and Wang Shulin?" ”

Xiao Hongming took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Exactly." The Wang family is not a good stubble, Changying Marquis Wang Bodang is obsessed with Taoism, in the early years, there were rumors that he and his teacher Yuanzhen together plotted to murder a master called 'Hongzhen', his master is for the abbot of Qingyang Temple, and he, but for a few volumes of Taoist scriptures. It's so ruthless, it's terrifying. ”

"But when my daughter looks at Wang Shulin, she is polite, humble and polite, not like she is the same as her father."

"I hope not, but it may also be that I have not been patient to the extreme, if your brother really hurts Liu Wu, I think Wang Shulin will never give up. However, looking at your brother's temperament, it is difficult to really stop, so I plan to send him to Jingnan Province and live in your uncle's Baiyun Academy for a while, firstly, to precipitate the farce of Luo'an, and also to stay away from these princes and grandsons, and secondly, if I can read a few books, I will also be happy. ”

"But if my brother has another incident over there, my daughter is worried about ......"

"Life and death are life, wealth is in the sky, you and I can't control him for a lifetime. Now that people are in their twenties, they should also be a little self-aware, if they are still so nonsense, I will no longer care about him, let him fend for himself! ”

Xiao Chuxiu knew that what his father said was angry, but as long as Xiao Tingxiu was in Baiyun Academy, there was no possibility of making trouble.

As the second uncle of Baiyun Academy, Xiao Hongyi, who is the head of Baiyun Academy, has always been known for his strictness, and his temperament is very persistent and tenacious. With him here, Xiao Tingxiu didn't dare to do anything wrong.
