Chapter 63: The mother urges marriage
"What do you say! You stinky boy, you went out to play, and even your wife teased you? ”
"Mother, I'm joking with you, don't be angry, I'll go see my brother."
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong walked to the bedside, carefully checked Jingrui's injury, and saw that he was just unconscious, and his body was fine, and he was slightly relieved.
Then he looked up at his mother and asked, "Mother, which doctor healed Jingrui?" It's so wonderful! ”
"Oh, yes...... It's Imperial Doctor Li in the palace, and he heals ......"
Mrs. Xiao was afraid that Xiao Jingcong would ask after her, and when she saw the flaw, she quickly diverted the topic and asked.
"Cong'er, you are not young anymore, and now that the country is safe, it is time for you to consider your marriage." Mrs. Xiao said earnestly.
"Oops, mother!" Xiao Jingcong held Mrs. Xiao's hand and argued: "The child doesn't want to think about this now......"
"Don't want to think about it? Cong'er, tell me, how old are you this year? Look at the fourth prince, he is about the same age as you, and now he has an heir, but you don't even have a family, how can my mother worry about you! ”
Xiao Jingcong said righteously: "Mother, I am different from Yuyan. You don't know that when I went out to travel this time, I realized that although our Xiao Kingdom looks peaceful and peaceful, in fact, the roots are rotten inside......"
After a slight pause, Xiao Jingcong continued worriedly.
"The punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials is endless, and the suffering of the people is not cared for, and if it continues like this, it will inevitably shake the foundation of my Daxiao Dynasty, mother!"
Mrs. Xiao frowned, "Cong'er, you can talk to your father about these words, my mother doesn't care, my mother only cares about your happiness and your life's affairs." That wild girl doesn't need to be considered, there is a suitable girl here, you see......"
"Mother, the child really doesn't want to get married. Now that the state affairs have not been decided, Beiliang is recruiting troops and horses in the frontier, and he is about to move, and the child does not dare to relax for a moment! ”
"You kid, are you going to be angry with your mother!" Mrs. Xiao couldn't help coughing a few more times as she spoke.
"Mother, don't get excited, this matter of getting married, you still have to think about it carefully!"
While he was talking, the maid Xiaoyu suddenly broke in and said.
"Mrs. Qiqi, Major General, Lord Qianqian asks to see!"
"Ah, it's Qianqian here, just in time! Quick, hurry up and invite her in! ”
As soon as Mrs. Xiao heard that the county lord of Qianqian was coming, she immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took Xiao Jingcong's hand and ordered him.
"Cong'er, when you are away, the county lord of Qianqian often comes to visit your mother, and chats with me on weekdays to relieve boredom, she is a good girl. Look at the people, as soon as they hear that you are back, they immediately rush to see you, you don't want to let them down! ”
"Mother, what do you say! I've always treated Qianqian as a sister, what a ...... to live up to."
"Hey, why don't you enlighten this kid! What sister is not a sister, let me tell you, my mother just likes Qianqian very much, and you don't have to embarrass others later. ”
Just as Mrs. Xiao was speaking, the county lord of Qianqian had already entered with broken steps under the leadership of the maid.
When the county lord of Qianqian saw Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Jingcong, he immediately made a big salute.
"Qianqian has seen Niangniang, and she has seen the young general!"
Today's Qianqian county lord is wearing a snow-white spun cloud dress, which is beautiful and refined, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
At first glance, you can tell that it has been carefully dressed.
Xiao Jingcong was not interested in this at all, and even stood in place as if she didn't see her, with her hands behind her back, without any expression.
However, Mrs. Xiao was afraid of the Qianqian County Lord, so she hurriedly walked over.
"Ouch, my good Qianqian, didn't I tell you, it's the same as in my own home, you don't need to make any big gifts, we are all your relatives."
Mrs. Xiao walked over and helped the county lord of Qianqian up, then looked at Xiao Jingcong, and saw that Xiao Jingcong was still there like a wooden stake, and couldn't help frowning.
"Cong'er, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and talk to Qianqian."
Xiao Jingcong reluctantly walked over, arched his hand, and greeted him perfunctorily: "Qianqian, long time no see!" ”
When Xiao Jingcong said this, he didn't even look at the county lord of Qianqian.
The county lord of Qianqian didn't care, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Young General, don't come to be harmed, right?" ”
Mrs. Xiao on the side saw it and hurriedly corrected it, "Qianqian, you are not an outsider, what kind of young general is your name, just call him by his name just like me." ”
"How good is that...... Qianqian is still the same as before, is it okay to call Brother Jingcong? ”
Xiao Jingcong nodded impatiently, "Whatever." ”
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong said to Mrs. Xiao again: "Mother, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”
"Wait, Cong'er, Qianqian just came, why did you leave?"
"Mother, you know, I just went home, and I still have a lot of business to do."
Mrs. Xiao wanted to say something, but Murong Qianqian said good things for Xiao Jingcong on the side.
"Niangniang, since Brother Jingcong said that he has something to do, you just let him go, there are still more opportunities to talk in the future, don't worry."
Mrs. Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed at Xiao Jingcong: "Cong'er, listen, how sensible Qianqian is, I know that for your sake." Okay, you go get busy with yours, come, Qianqian, let's talk. ”
Xiao Jingcong hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the room.
As soon as Xiao Jingcong came out, he saw Grandpa Li running over.
"Little Marquis, have you seen Madame?"
"Well, Gonggong Li, didn't I ask you to carry your luggage? Already moved? ”
"It's done!" Gonggong Li pretended to be out of breath and said, "Little Hou Ye, do you see that the old slaves are almost tired and out of breath?" ”
"Yes, I see you're in good spirits? Turn it around! ”
When Gonggong Li heard this, his face suddenly changed, "Ah, little marquis, raise your noble feet!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, turn around!"
Gonggong Li cried with a sad face, and turned around aggrievedly.
Xiao Jingcong kicked out according to Gonggong Li's ass.
"Ouch!"
Father-in-law Li cried out in pain, causing some of the maids passing by to cover their mouths and laugh.
"Come on, come on, Gonggong Li!"
Just after kicking, Xiao Jingcong waved his hand again and called Gonggong Li.
Gonggong Li suddenly wailed: "Ouch, my little marquis, don't embarrass the old slave!" The old slave is just lazy, but he can't stand your second kick! ”
"Don't worry, I won't kick me, come on, I have something to explain."
Gonggong Li covered his buttocks and walked to Xiao Jingcong suspiciously, "Little Marquis, what else do you have to explain to the old slave?" The old slave must die in a sea of swords, fire, and death! ”
"It's not that serious! Don't be nervous, I just want you to ask, who is the girl who came to our General's Mansion to make trouble in the past two days? ”
"That's it?!" Gonggong Li's eyes widened and he asked with a surprised face.
"That's it!" Xiao Jingcong patted Gonggong Li's shoulder, leaned into his ear and whispered: "By the way, this matter must be investigated secretly, and I can't let my mother know, remember?" ”
"Yes, little marquis, just wrap it up on the old slave!"
Xiao Jingcong nodded, "Well, then you can go now!" ”
"Scum, the old slave retires!"
Gonggong Li bowed, and then withdrew, but after a while, Gonggong Li turned back again.
"Grandpa Li, why are you back again?"
"Little Marquis...... His Royal Highness the Four Princes is down! Father-in-law Li gasped out of breath.
Without waiting for Gonggong Li to finish speaking, Xiao Yuyan, the fourth prince, walked in with great strides.
When Xiao Jingcong saw it, he immediately saluted and said, "See His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" ”
"Jingcong, we are all good buddies, why be so polite!"
Xiao Yuyan walked in front of Xiao Jingcong with a smile and helped him up.
"Jingcong, how did you feel about this trip?"
Xiao Jingcong frowned, sighed leisurely and said: "Hey, Yuyan, you don't know if you live in the palace, there are completely two worlds inside and outside the palace, if I hadn't gone there in person, I might have been blinded by the prosperity of this prosperous world!" ”
Xiao Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and then echoed: "Actually, why don't I know? I used to want to change, but I ...... Forget it, don't talk about it, you're finally back, let's go, let's go out and have a good drink! ”
"Yuyan, isn't that good?"
"It's okay, I've got everything! Let's go! ”
Saying that, Xiao Yuyan didn't dare Xiao Jingcong to agree or not, so he pulled him out of the general's mansion and got into his carriage.
On the carriage, Xiao Yuyan looked at Xiao Jingcong with a wicked smile.
"Jingcong, I really didn't expect you to go out to study!"
"Huh?! Yu Yan, what do you mean by that? Xiao Jingcong asked with a puzzled expression.
"Still pretending to be with me! Tell me, what's going on with that girl? Xiao Yuyan approached and asked with a smile, looking like he wanted to eat melons.
Xiao Jingcong still didn't know what Xiao Yuyan said, "Yuyan, what do you want to ask, what girl?" ”
"Hey, why aren't you honest, you kid! Other girls came to the door with marriage papers, do you still want to admit it? ”
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, she realized who the girl Xiao Yuyan was talking about.
"Yu Yan, is the girl you are talking about the same one who came to my general's mansion to make trouble these days?"
"Troublemaker? What's the mess? Your brother was rescued by this girl! If it weren't for her, you'd probably be separated from your brother forever! ”
"Wait!" Xiao Jingcong suddenly felt that something was not right, "Yuyan, did you just say that the girl saved my seriously injured brother Jingrui?" ”
Xiao Yuyan nodded, "Yes, is this still fake?" ”
"But my mother said that it was saved by Imperial Doctor Li in the palace?"
"Impossible!" Xiao Yuyan waved his hand, when I rescued your brother, I was next to me, it was the girl who saved it, Imperial Doctor Li came later, and when he came, the girl was almost cured......"
