Empress Xiao reprimanded with an angry face, while the white-haired Xiao Yu was like a child who had done something wrong, lowering her head and not daring to say a word. ,!
The reason why Empress Xiao has such a big temper is that there is also the reason for Li Su, Li Su after officially putting Taiwan under her rule, carried out a series of reforms to Taiwan's administration, which requires a large number of talents, and the Xiao family just happened to have a decrease in the income of the clan because of the poor sales of silk, and there were too many children in the clan who ate rice, so Xiao Yu ordered as the patriarch to let some of the children of the clan who were hopeless in the imperial examination go to Taiwan to participate in politics, maybe they could mix it up.
Originally, this was a win-win situation, which not only helped Li Su solve the manpower problem, but also gave the children of the Lanling Xiao clan another way to advance. However, there are so many patriarchs of the Xiao clan in Lanling, there are always a few who are unwilling to go to Taiwan, after all, in the eyes of the Tang people, Taiwan is really a wild land, and it is a crime to go, and they may even have to lose their lives there, so these people are not willing to go at all, but they dare not disobey Xiao Yu's order, so they secretly reported this matter to Queen Xiao, after all, Queen Xiao is also a member of the Xiao family, and she is Xiao Yu's own sister, and only she can make Xiao Yu take back her life.
Empress Xiao, in fact, she didn't object to Xiao Yu doing this. On the contrary, Empress Xiao was actually very supportive of Xiao Yu's decision, and the reason why she was so angry was just to blame Xiao Yu for being too tough and not consulting with other people in the clan at all, which would undoubtedly make the people in the clan disgusted. This is not a good thing for Xiao Yu.
When Empress Xiao's anger was almost vented, Xiao Yu opened her mouth and promised: "Sister, I know it's wrong, I will change it next time!" ”
"And next time?" Empress Xiao asked angrily again when she heard this.
"Don't dare, there's definitely no next time!" Although Xiao Yu is already old. But in front of his sister, he is still like a child, if Li Su and Li Shimin see it, it is estimated that they will be shocked, after all, no one would have thought that Xiao Yu, who is usually very old-fashioned in front of people, would be trained to look like this.
Although Xiao Yu's attitude of admitting mistakes is excellent. However, Empress Xiao understands that the so-called country is easy to change, and her nature is difficult to change, her younger brother was born with a stinky and hard temper, and he is very domineering in speaking and doing things, sometimes he doesn't even give Li Shimin face, and he is not on the right path with Fang Xuanling and other upstarts in the Tang Dynasty, so that his popularity in the court is not good, if it weren't for Li Yu's relationship, it is estimated that Xiao Yu would have been exiled to the outside as an official again.
Thinking of Xiao Yu's stinky temper. Empress Xiao, who was an older sister, suddenly sighed, and after letting Xiao Yu sit down, she said softly: "Brother Yu, your temper should also be changed, although you are now in a high position, the people in the clan naturally dare not object, but it is not good to say." We are all so old, if one day we leave, the children and grandchildren left behind will all have to live on the family, and if someone holds a grudge because of you, isn't that a trouble for the children and grandchildren? ”
I heard my sister say such heart-wrenching words. Xiao Yu was also stunned, and then thought about the people he had offended because of this temper over the years, although he is not afraid now, and his children are also protected by him, let alone worry, but if he is not there one day, the children will suffer, although others will not come openly, but secretly excluded I am afraid that it is indispensable.
"Thank you Sister for your teachings, little brother must keep it in mind!" Xiao Yu suddenly said with a solemn face. And Empress Xiao saw that her younger brother really heard her words in her heart, and her face also showed a little smile, as for the matter over there in Lanling, Empress Xiao asked Xiao Yu to write a letter to several important people in the clan, and the tone was as tactful as possible, so that they could come forward to persuade those clansmen who were unwilling to go, which not only showed that Xiao Yu valued the important people in the clan, but also carried out the matter of sending people to Taiwan, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After talking about business, Queen Xiao and Xiao Yu chatted about family life again, but as she spoke, Queen Xiao thought of Cai'er, and then sighed and said: "Brother Yu, you don't know, the little girl that Liulang brought back can be painful, and not only I like it, but even Jiuniang likes it very much, but unfortunately she sent someone to tell me this morning, saying that she was going to watch the sports meeting with Liulang today, so she won't come to me, otherwise you must let you meet it, and you will definitely like it then!" ”
Seeing her sister mention that Cai'er was happy, Xiao Yu also felt a little relieved, after all, her sister had a rough life, and she didn't even have a junior by her side in her later years, and now it is a good thing to have a junior who makes her care so much.
However, when Xiao Yu heard about the sport, she thought of one more thing, and said with a smile to Queen Xiao: "Sister, speaking of this sports meeting, my family also has juniors participating in the competition, and it happened to be held today." ”
"Oh?" Empress Xiao was very interested when she heard this, "I know all those boys in your family, who participated in the competition?" ”
"Who else could it be, naturally it was the most uneasy Xiao Lin!" Xiao Yu said with a smile on her face, and there was a little bit of doting in her tone.
"Xiao Lin, is that the little guy in the Guozijian?" Empress Xiao's eyes lit up, and the figure of a young junior immediately appeared in her mind.
"That's right, it's that kid, who doesn't do anything in the Guozi Prison all day long, this time he actually signed up for the sports meeting again, and practiced at home all day, if this is serious about reading, he will definitely be able to take the Jinshi exam in the next subject!" Although Xiao Yu's words were not full of grandson Xiao Lin, his tone was full of doting, after all, Xiao Lin was the most outstanding person in the third generation of their Xiao family, and he was usually deeply liked by Xiao Yu, if nothing else, he would definitely be able to pass the next imperial examination.
Looking at Xiao Yu's unacceptable appearance, Queen Xiao also smiled and shook her head, she had also seen Xiao Lin's child, he was indeed a smart and clever person, and the relationship between the other party and Li Su was also very good, so she had a deep impression of Xiao Lin.
At this time. Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something, and said: "Sister, we have nothing to do today, it just happens to be the day of Xiao Lin's competition, why don't we go to the sports meeting together to see?" ”
As soon as Xiao Yu's proposal came out, Queen Xiao's face also showed hesitation, it is said that Xiao Lin is his brother's favorite grandson, and he likes him very much, he can participate in the competition today, if he doesn't know, it's fine, but now that his younger brother Xiao Yu has said it, she, who is an aunt, should naturally go to cheer for Xiao Lin. It's just that she has always disliked places that are too noisy, and she has a headache when she thinks of the noisy arena of the sports meeting.
Xiao Yu also noticed the hesitation on her sister's face, and continued to persuade with a smile: "Sister, didn't you say that Cai'er also went to watch the game, maybe you can meet it, then you have to introduce it to me, let me see what kind of child it is, and you and Concubine Yang like it so much?" ”
The reason why Xiao Yu persuaded Queen Xiao to go to the sports meeting was that she mainly wanted to take her out for a walk, after all, Queen Xiao stayed in her house every day, and she basically didn't go out much.
As soon as she heard Xiao Yu mention Cai'er, Queen Xiao finally made up her mind, nodded and said: "Okay, then let's go to the sports meeting, Cai'er has been coming to the house to accompany me for the past few days, and suddenly something didn't come today, but it also makes me miss her a lot, if you meet it, I will definitely introduce it to you, by the way, you can help pay attention to it again to see if there is a suitable teenager, after all, Cai'er's girl is not small, and she should talk about her mother-in-law in two years." ”
Seeing that her sister finally agreed, Xiao Yu also showed a satisfied smile, and then saw that when her sister mentioned that Cai'er, the whole person became very energetic, and even talked more, which made Xiao Yu a little amazed, and at the same time, she was secretly curious, what kind of sacredness is this Cai'er she has not yet met, and can make her sister worry about it like this?
Just when Queen Xiao and Xiao Yu were preparing the carriage to rush to the main stadium of the games, the polo match in the main arena had been going on for a while, the horse's hooves were flying on the whole field, and the riders on the horse were waving their sticks, chasing the fist-sized polo ball on the field and running back and forth.
The polo of the Tang Dynasty is different from the polo of later generations, the polo team of later generations has only four people, but the polo team of the Tang Dynasty has as many as a dozen people, and the two teams together have more than 20 people, which is equivalent to a small cavalry, and these more than 20 riders are chasing a small polo on the field, with infinite passion in the barbarism, it is a very bloody sport.
"Good! Fast! Hurry up and pass the ball! Li Su and Li Zhi in the stands clenched their fists and shouted loudly with excitement on their faces. As Chang'an people, they naturally support the Chang'an team, and now the situation on the field is good, temporarily tied with last year's champion Luoyang team, and the Chang'an team controls the polo and is launching a new round of attack.
I saw the Chang'an team wearing black uniforms on the field with tacit understanding, the main attacker has rushed to the front, the teammates behind quickly passed the ball over, and the main attacker a strong pump, the small polo rushed to the opponent's goal like lightning, and it looked like another point, but it is a pity that the Luoyang team is worthy of last year's champion team, and a person suddenly rushed out of the stab in front of the goal, and stopped the ball at once, and the Chang'an team failed to attack!
