Chapter 61 Guarantees
General Xiao woke up, recalled the words of his in-laws, and found his daughter-in-law to ask carefully.
"Daughter-in-law, what did your father mean by what he said at that time?"
"Father-in-law, my father drank too much, don't mind what he said, I guess after my father sobered up, he couldn't remember what he said at all."
"Really?" But that weird feeling is still there?
"Yes, yes." Even if not, I don't dare to say it!
After Xiao Jingkang came back in the evening, he heard that his father and father-in-law had an argument again, and sighed. I can't help but think of my life scene ten years later, a man who is nearly fifty years old, standing between two gray-haired old men, one will persuade this, one will coax that, the future is bleak!
"What are the two old men fighting about this time?"
"Your daughter."
"My peace is really pleasing to people, not to mention others, my father and father-in-law have fought more than once for her." Xiao Jingkang's pride is like a peacock on the screen.
If you can maintain such an expression after knowing the content of the dispute, it can be considered admirable! Tong Mingyu said secretly.
"I went to see the eldest sister today, please ask her to find a grandmother for her daughter and teach her the rules, otherwise, I am really worried that our family will have a famous elf in Kyoto in the future."
"Look at what you said, my daughter is called clever and smart, and your worries are simply superfluous."
Tong Mingyu didn't argue with him, in the eyes of her husband, her daughter was perfect and loved by everyone, how could she have shortcomings!
Tong Mingyu told her husband what her mother had said, and the couple discussed countermeasures, and agreed that keeping an eye on the Yu family, especially Miss Yu, was an important task of this birthday banquet, and it was the top priority.
Before going to bed, Tong Mingyu did not forget to tell her husband: "Don't forget to talk to the fourth brother tomorrow." ”
Knowing that her grandfather's birthday was approaching, Xiao Yao always wanted to give her grandfather a gift she had prepared, and after thinking about it for several days, she finally made a decision to paint a picture of herself and her grandfather together.
Although Xiao Yao is not yet six years old, under the influence of Xiao Jingyan, he has been fond of painting since he was a child, and he has a slight foundation in his previous life, so he thinks that he will definitely paint more satisfactory works.
Where to draw? Pick and choose, pick Daddy's study. Birds singing and flowers, quiet and elegant, in such an environment, why worry that there will be no masterpieces! It was such a happy decision.
After school, Xiao Yao hastily had lunch, and went straight to the study without even taking a nap, this time accompanied by Zhihua, because Xiaofu and Xiaohui are not good at grinding and choosing brushes, and after the preparation was completed, Xiao Yao sent Zhihua to go elsewhere, and sat at the table alone and began to brew a masterpiece.
Half an hour later, the painting was already in silhouette, an old man with a little girl in his arms, with cows and sheep beside him. Xiao Yao strives to draw things that are in line with the level of a six-year-old child, so she only makes people see at a glance what they are drawing and who they are drawing, similar to stick figures.
This is still inspired by Xiao Yuan.
"Zhihua, you go and help me get a travelogue, the kind with pictures." Combine work and rest and take a break.
Zhihua quickly brought the book that Xiao Yao wanted, and seeing that the young lady had almost finished drawing, she started to pack up some items that she couldn't use.
"Slave Chunlan greets the eldest lady." Chunlan said outside the door.
"Is there something wrong with the sister-in-law of the Deng family?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.
"The slave maid wants to ask Zhihua to help choose a trick, but I don't know if she can leave."
Chunlan married Zhihua's brother in the summer of this year, a steward, because Zhihua's surname is Deng, so after Chunlan got married, everyone changed their names to call her the Deng family, or the sister-in-law of the Deng family.
I'm afraid the choice of patterns is an excuse.,I don't know if there's anything inconvenient to talk about.,Will it be a family affair of Zhihua! If memory serves, Shiba is already sixteen years old.
"Go ahead, just let Xiaofu and Xiaohui serve you."
Xiao Yao agreed very happily, I hope it is as I guessed, as a qualified master, I must not delay the maid's lifelong events, Qiaoyue got married last year, and this year it may be Zhihua's turn, and there are really good things in my room!
After reading the book and using the snacks and milk sent by Xiaofu and Xiaohui, Xiao Yao was a little drowsy, it seemed that it was really not possible not to take a nap, looking at the unfinished painting, I thought that it would be good to sleep on the chair for a while, and I woke up and continued to paint. Xiao Yao asked Xiaofu to get a small quilt, and sent the two of them to the next door under the pretext of painting, and then curled up on her father's big chair, covered herself with a quilt, and fell asleep unconsciously.
"Big brother, second brother, you can't see death without help!" Xiao Jingyan heard that his eldest brother told him that Yu Xianrong was coming to congratulate his father on his birthday, and he couldn't help but wail.
The time for the three of them to go home today was about the same, and after they met, Xiao Jingkang took the two younger brothers and walked to the study, and told the fourth brother the unfortunate news.
"How can you save it, you just find someone to get married quickly, it's too useless to be scared like this by a woman." Xiao Jingtai said disdainfully.
"Dad promised me to wait a year." Xiao Jingyan said unwillingly.
"Then you can figure it out by yourself, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say!" Xiao Jingtai glared at his younger brother with disgust, just marry a daughter-in-law, I have never seen such trouble.
"Anyway, I won't marry Yu Xianrong."
Xiao Jingkang listened to his brothers' bickering without saying a word, and the two of them talked for a long time, but they didn't have a useful word. Why is there no one guarding outside the study today, Xiao Jingkang walked a few steps quickly and opened the door of the study, it's okay, it's okay, everything is normal.
"Or I'll go out and hide."
"You're a little bit of a talent, okay." Xiao Jingkang hates that iron does not become steel.
"Maybe I should marry Yu Xianrong, and when I get married, I will accept a few beautiful girls the next day, and by the way, I will send a ...... to each of the three brothers."
"Fourth uncle, you are not allowed to do bad things, you still want to bring my father and my second uncle, I will ignore you in the future." The feeling of sleeping in a chair is far worse than sleeping in a bed, and the three big men are so loud that it is difficult to pretend to sleep. Xiao Yao, who had just woken up, heard the words of the fourth uncle, and she was angry that she shook off the quilt and stood up from the chair.
"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, I really didn't expect you to be such a person." Xiao Yao said angrily.
"Ping, why are you here?" Xiao Jingyan didn't expect his joke to be heard by his little niece, if this word reached the ears of several sisters-in-law, he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.
"Ping'an, you listen to the fourth uncle, what the fourth uncle said just now was joking with your father and your second uncle, you must not tell your mother and your second aunt, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." Xiao Jingyan begged softly, I hope this little ancestor will raise his noble hand, otherwise it will not end well.
"Then you promise me one thing."
"Don't say one, even ten or eight things, and the fourth uncle will agree."
"Our grandfather now has a grandmother, my father has my mother, the second uncle has a second aunt, and the third uncle has a third aunt." Xiao Yao stretched out his left hand and counted a finger, counting seriously, his face was serious, his eyes were dissatisfied, and his mouth was slightly pouting. Xiao Jingkang and Xiao Jingtai's hearts are about to be budded by her, and now there is a good show to watch, fourth brother, it's not that the brothers refuse to help you, it's really because you have completely annoyed Ping'an, and we can't help.
"Therefore, the fourth uncle is only allowed to bring back one fourth aunt, and it is absolutely not okay to have more." After speaking, he slapped the table quite imposingly, his strength was too strong, and it hurt a little, Xiao Yao quietly threw his hand behind his back and shook it.
Xiao Jingtai turned his head, shrugged his shoulders, and couldn't bear to smile too hard.
"Isn't it okay to listen to you and listen to you?" Is this a niece? is simply a housekeeper's mother-in-law, and even cares about how many daughters-in-law my uncle marries.
"Let's write a letter of guarantee." Xiao Yao asked in a very low-key manner.
"Guaranteed...... Recognizance...... What is it. Xiao Jingyan stammered a little.
"I promise to marry only one fourth aunt, and if my father and two uncles learn badly, they will blame you."
"Why?"
"What if you write a letter of guarantee and your fourth uncle is still disobedient." Xiao Jingtai asked with interest.
"If the fourth uncle is obedient, I won't let others know that there is still a guarantee, and if the fourth uncle is disobedient, I will copy more of the guarantee and paste it all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto."
Hearing her remarks, for a while, there was silence in the study.
