Although the Empress Dowager Xiao had already had a decree before, but when it came to really getting things done, Rouping also felt a little embarrassed. After all, there is a difference between the cousin Xiao Chonghua and the Xiao family, and it is the concubine of Xiao's grandfather back then, so it has never been taken seriously, and even the words in the generation have not been left. Now the Xiao family is unspeakably expensive, but Xiao Chonghua is still just a lowly Gongbu Langzhong, and few people even know that he is really related to the Xiao family.

Rouping just looked at the scenery from the sedan chair, and her brows couldn't help frowning. Following the Xiao family for many years, she has also visited many mansions of dignitaries, with brilliant walls and luxurious style, but she has rarely seen such a shabby door skirt. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneering smile, and then she motioned to the little eunuch who followed the sedan chair to call the door.

The mottled black-lacquered door finally opened, and an unkempt head came out of it, but it was a young child between the horns. He looked curiously at the four people carrying the sedan chair in front of the door, and then focused his eyes on the few richly dressed servants, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Master, there are guests to worship!" Rouping's brows immediately twisted together, what an uneducated minion, and he didn't look at his own situation, and actually said that someone came to worship, it was really unbelievable! Although she was slandered, Rouping knew that if she could really find any available people from Xiao Chonghua's side this time, then as long as the master said a word, the glory and wealth of this family would naturally be no problem, so she should not be taken lightly. A little eunuch who accompanied the sedan listened to the order, and hurriedly stepped forward with great hospitality, "Bu Xinyi helped her out of the sedan chair."

Xiao Chonghua rushed to the door and saw this scene. I couldn't help but mutter. It is necessary to know that it is an ancient rite for men and women to give and receive kisses, and this noble lady in front of her, who seems to have an extraordinary status, is actually supported by a man, which is obviously a bit famous. They thought of their cousin, whom they had not seen in a long time. Suddenly, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Xiaguan Xiao Chonghua. I don't know what the lady has to say when she comes to the mansion? He only glanced at Rouping's dress, and concluded that his conjecture was true, and the men with clear eyebrows next to him were even more different from ordinary servants, obviously from the palace. Be aware of this. He became more and more cautious.

"Lord Xiao, are you just blocking the guests at the door like this, is it inevitable that you will lose the way of welcome?" Seeing Xiao Chonghua's flattering expression, Rouping suddenly felt a little more disgusted, but still said lightly, "The master told me to come and take a look at the situation here, since Lord Xiao has no intention of letting me in, then I will leave." With that, he turned around.

Xiao Chonghua hurriedly stopped: "Madame said that she was laughing, Xia Guan Shicai was just panicked for a while, and he had no intention of slacking off." Madame is a noble being. When you come to the humble house, you should go out with your family and ......"

Rouping immediately became even more impatient. After coping with two sentences, he stopped being wordy, and walked in by himself. Xiao Chonghua dared to be lazy, and immediately followed step by step, still nagging about sins in his mouth. Wait until you get a clear panoramic view of this home. Rouping suddenly had a little understanding of Xiao Chonghua's situation, and couldn't help but say: "Today I came to visit at the behest of the Queen Mother, and I didn't expect that Lord Xiao's family would fall here." Aren't you Lang Zhong of the fifth grade, why do you still look like a family with four walls? ”

Xiao Chonghua couldn't hear the sarcasm in the other party's words, and a wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart, but his face suddenly became more courteous and respectful. Anyway, now the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Sixth Palace can still remember her cousin, this is an opportunity, and you can't let it go no matter what.

"Thanks to the Queen Mother's concern, Xia Guan is really moved." He first replied with sincere fear, and then complained, "Madame doesn't know, the lower officials' salaries are already limited, and because the officials are lowly and small, the foreign officials' Bing Tan Jing can't be sent to the lower officials, so life is tight." In addition, Clumsy Jing and the two concubines gave birth to four children in a row, and it took a lot of effort just to pull them. Fortunately, the two sons are still angry, and they both paid tribute a few years ago......"

He nagged and wanted to continue, but was stopped by Rouping waving his hand. It is a great event that two sons enter at the same time, not to mention that with Xiao Chonghua's family background and no way of grace, it is even easier said than done. As soon as her eyes rolled, her tone softened much more: "I didn't expect that the two sons were so talented, if the Queen Mother knew, she would be overjoyed." However, according to their position, I am afraid that they are still qualified in the Hanlin Academy at this time? ”

Xiao Chonghua's eyes lit up, and he immediately cautiously agreed: "One of them is from a second-class jinshi, and the other is from a third-class jinshi, so they can only be qualified in the editing and review of the Hanlin Academy. Xiao Moping, the eldest son of Xiaguandi, is not clever enough, and he has no money to pay for, so he can't go up in the performance appraisal every year, so he is only a Hanlin Academy revision. However, the second son Xiao Moye is competitive enough, and he has long fought for the release, and now he is the same acquaintance of Suzhou. At this point, he was a little brow-raising, obviously proud of his son's achievements.

Rouping naturally doesn't look down on a small acquaintance, but she also knows that for Xiao Chonghua's family, it is really a good result to be able to rise so fast. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she praised with a smile: "I didn't expect the second son to be so talented, and he will definitely be able to become an official in the future, Lord Xiao is really a blessing." However, I wonder if the other two young ladies have already made a promise? ”

Xiao Chonghua couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and suddenly regretted it in his heart, his eldest daughter had already been married to a son of the same year, and now his son-in-law is an official to the prefect, and it sounds decent. However, when he heard Rouping's words, he seemed to have the meaning of accepting a concubine for the current emperor, and his heart became lively again. However, the eldest daughter is no longer counted, and his youngest daughter is only thirteen years old now, and she is a concubine, so it is even more difficult to enter the palace.

At this point, he could only tell the truth, and sure enough, Rouping had a little disappointment on her face, but she still insisted on seeing his young daughter. Xiao Chonghua also wanted to try his luck, although he had always been cold to his young daughter Xiao Long, but he also vaguely knew that Xiao Long usually liked to read the books left by his two elder brothers, and he often had extraordinary words. At that moment, he ordered a waiting maid to lead the second lady out.

Xiao Long, who was watching in the room, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing someone repeat his father's life. Although she is still young, she also knows that her daughter, who is a concubine, is not taken seriously, so she is indifferent in everything, and she only wants to have more knowledge, and it will be a big deal to shave her sister-in-law in the future. Now that she heard that there was a noble lady outside the maid's road who wanted to see her, how could she not be surprised? However, she didn't dare to disobey her father's wishes, so she let her maid freshen up and walk towards the main hall, still thinking about the intentions of the visitor.

As soon as Xiao Longfu entered the main hall, he saw the noble lady on the upper seat. As the maid said, she also felt unusual, according to the situation of her own house, ordinary women would not visit easily, so this person's intention was a little strange. After she had bowed, she was told to get up and motioned for her to take a few steps forward.

Rouping carefully looked at the young lady's appearance, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on her face. Although her size and appearance have not yet grown, if she is left among the women in the draft, she can conclude that this woman can still stand out. Just looking at the quiet and self-contained temperament, she knew that the master would definitely like this niece, but whether it will be successful or not depends on the fate of the future, after all, this Xiao Long is just a concubine's daughter.

"Congratulations to Master Xiao, the second lady will definitely be able to get a son-in-law in the future." Rouping has already decided that even if she can't let this young lady enter the palace, in the future, with her appearance and temperament, the master can also use her to marry the powerful, which is better than letting this young lady marry an old man at will.

Xiao Chonghua was overjoyed when he heard this, since Rouping pulled his young daughter to look left and right, he was waiting for this sentence, and now it seems that he is really lucky! He doesn't ask his daughter how noble he is, as long as the queen mother can remember her family, then the days from now on will be better. Thinking of this, he almost wanted to kneel forward and thank Ende, it took more than ten years to get out of a Ministry of Labor, this day is really too suffocating.

Rou Ping remembered the words of the master before the trip, and said with a smile: "Before the trip today, the Queen Mother left her words, if Lord Xiao's family still remembers her kindness, then Ming'er will say a few good words in front of the emperor, maybe I can reward you with a title." I pondered that Lord Xiao would be a rich and noble person in the future, so why not write a recital to the Queen Mother, so as to please her old man. ”

Xiao Chonghua naturally nodded busily, Xiao is now the queen mother, of course he can ask for a seal for his mother's brother, but it is really not easy for this kind of good thing to fall on him, how can he not be grateful. For Rouping's suggestion, he immediately offered a series of flattery, and even Xiao Long next to him was embarrassed to hear it.

Although Xiao Long was disgusted by his father's stammering with that noblewoman, he was helpless. She had already heard the identity of the woman, and it seemed that she was a close confidant of the queen mother in the palace, since this was the case, her father's humble attitude was understandable. is also a child of the Xiao family, but the situation is two heavens, no wonder his father wants to climb up. As for the noble lady's determination that she could get a noble son-in-law, Xiao Long didn't think so.

Although she was still a young girl and was pregnant, she had long lost her expectations for it, she was not always holding unrealistic expectations like her father, and what friend was more reliable than those members?

Rouping went out of the gate under Xiao Chonghua in person, and before getting on the sedan chair, she couldn't help but look back at the word "Xiao Mansion" that had become old, and reminded with deep meaning: "Lord Xiao, if you change the plaque in the future, don't forget my kindness." After saying that, she ignored the other party's busy response, and got into the sedan chair by herself.

Xiao Chonghua watched the sedan chair go away, and his face couldn't help but burst into ecstasy, he finally waited for this day. In any case, as long as he has the help of the Queen Mother Xiao, is he still afraid that his son will not have a good future in the future?

S: I really don't have a problem with Feng Wuji's name for He Xueming, I really don't have a problem with calling "Aunt He" because I once saw it in "Emperor Qianlong" in February, Qianlong called his third brother Hongshi's mother Qi "Aunt Qi", so it was used. He Xueming's title is Gonghui Imperial Concubine, I really don't know what the emperor should call her. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 12 Enveloping
