Chapter 64: Exclusion

On the sixth day of September, General Xiao's 64th birthday came as scheduled.

The father and son of the Xiao family are officials in the same dynasty, and General Xiao is still the emperor's concubine and the master of the prince's family.

Even though General Xiao has a young son who is equivalent to a jobless vagrant, it is undeniable that he is famous, and when he mentions Xiao Jiashiro in Kyoto, his popularity is by no means inferior to that of the other four.

Knowing old friends, colleagues and relatives and friends arrived one after another, it didn't take long for the Xiao family to be full, and the people were boiling.

The arrival of King Jing and a group of imperial relatives brought the banquet to a new level*. Many well-informed officials originally came in the guise of celebrating General Xiao's birthday, but in fact they wanted to make friends with nobles, even if they couldn't make friends, it would be better to have a familiar face, and it would be better if they could get an opportunity to get close to the emperor's relatives.

Because it was not easy for the Nine Emperor Princes to leave the palace, by the time they arrived, the ceremony that should be held had already been completed. The two sisters, Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan, went back to the back garden early to accompany the little nobles.

Mu Fengwu, who had always wanted to witness the appearance of the dragon and phoenix fetus at the same time, sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, it's too late." "That sturdy and staring little girl, we really have no fate!

Xiao Jingkang took the men of the Xiao family over to greet King Jing and others, and several people who had followed General Xiao to learn martial arts for more than three years finally saw all the six grandsons of the old man for the first time, the modest Xiao Lang, the handsome Xiao Yi, the Duan Fang Xiao Yang, and the lively Xiao Rui, as for Xiao Jun and Xiao Qi, they were given a big hug by Mu Fengwu like relatives who had been reunited for a long time.

"Senior brother misses you, why don't you come to practice martial arts." Mu Fengwu didn't know where he got this kind of name, he didn't care if it was suitable or not, anyway, it was quite pleasant to call out.

Xiao Jun refused to answer, and Xiao Qi was hehe.

"Mu Gongzi looks up to them too much, the two children are not sensible, if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me." Xiao Jingkang said politely to Mu Fengwu.

"Why do you have to see Lord Xiao, a few children often meet, and it's normal to talk about making trouble." King Jing envied the Xiao family's Ding Xingwang, and he also had a good impression of several children, but his son didn't have the heart to make friends, which made him feel a little pity.

Xiao Jingkang sent King Jing and his people to the seats in the first row of the banquet, and they were accompanied by General Xiao, Tong Shangshu and Li Shangshu (Li Jiaoying's father was promoted to Shangshu).

King Jing asked the Nine Emperors to stay and sent his son and Mu Fengwu to another table. Where is Xiao Jingkang willing to let King Jing and the grandson of the Guogong Mansion switch positions, both of them are very persistent, and in the end, it was General Xiao who broke the deadlock, "Let the prince and Mu Gongzi choose by themselves." ”

It doesn't matter where Yun Yichen sits, the reason why he will come today is King Jing's order, and the second is really grateful to Old Man Xiao for his teaching. Those are targeted, discord has become a thing of the past, it is because I am young and frivolous and ignorant, I hope the old man will not keep it in his heart.

Of course, these are the thoughts in his heart, and he will never say it, let alone let people know about it. Everyone thought that everything was still the same, and King Jing and Old Man Xiao still didn't like each other, fighting and fighting as before.

"Master Xiao doesn't have to take care of us, Shizi and I will just sit with a few senior brothers and junior brothers." It would be better if the junior sister could come, and she could make up for the regrets in her heart, and she became more and more curious about the little junior sister, what should I do! How about a backyard by mistake? Think about it, forget it, it's not appropriate to cause trouble at the old man's birthday banquet, there must be a chance, and we will meet sooner or later.

Little junior sister, don't let your senior brother wait too long!

Xiao Yao didn't know that she was being remembered by others, and she was now revolving around Li Xueyan, the cousin of the Li family! This is the future sister-in-law, and she must maintain the relationship well. Xiao Yao poured tea diligently, Xiao Yuan obediently handed over snacks, the sisters didn't feel anything, but Li Xueyan's ears were red with shame, she lowered her head and didn't say a word, just rubbed the handkerchief in her hand vigorously.

The eldest brother is already gentle enough, and then marrying a more gentle and virtuous sister-in-law, how is the life of the two of them behind closed doors, it is not good to be a sister, but there is no doubt that the brothers and sisters will welcome such a sister-in-law very much.

Li Jiaoying is not worried about her niece, let alone her little sisters, after all, they are still too young, and it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate places in entertaining guests, and the scene she saw in the back garden made her cry and laugh. The fourteen-year-old girl was so ashamed of the two children that she couldn't hide, what is this called!

"What are you two doing?" Li Jiaoying smiled and warned with a warning, whoever has such two naughty sisters-in-law, I'm afraid that life will become very exciting.

"Take care of my cousin!" Xiao Yuan is straightforward, and the second aunt will praise us quickly, and see how well my sister and I take care of our cousin and how thoughtful we are.

"There are so many young ladies here, you are the masters, how can you only revolve around your cousin!" Let my niece go, or your daughter-in-law will be scared away by you.

"We listen to the second aunt." I can't continue to tease my cousin, as today's little master, I have to take care of everyone warmly and thoughtfully.

The two sisters walked hand in hand through the crowd and chatted with the young lady about the weather, talked about the new clothes with the young lady, and kept instructing the maids to bring snacks, fruits, and tea to everyone.

Li Jiaoying saw that her little niece was coping well, and she also took the opportunity to sit down and rest to comfort her niece.

"Xueyan, don't mind, although these two children are a little naughty, they are very good-hearted, and you will definitely get along well in the future."

"Auntie, the two younger sisters are fine." Li Xueyan recovered easily, and she was afraid that her aunt would misunderstand, so she hurriedly answered. I just couldn't adapt to the enthusiasm of the sisters for a while, but now it's much better.

"That's good, that's good." Li Jiaoying also hopes that several children will get along harmoniously and harmoniously, if nothing else, the son will be able to get married within two or three years, at that time Ping An and Ruyi were not yet ten years old, and their sister-in-law had to get along together for several years, how could they not get along harmoniously.

"Sister, have you found it, these ladies are unwilling to stand with you, I guess they are jealous." Xiao Yuan whispered in Xiao Yao's ear.

Xiao Yao didn't care at all, if it wasn't in her own house today, she wouldn't want to pay attention to these people at all, she really thought that they couldn't hear their ridicule and ridicule, and all the children who were only a few years old actually had words like the women in the back house, and they hated to trample others under their feet to highlight themselves.

Growing up in such a living environment since childhood, I am a little sorry for the skills they have cultivated if they don't participate in palace fights.

There are a few little girls who look good and are worth dating, and Xiao Yao also hopes to make a few friends who have a similar temper and can talk together. Being able to meet at the banquet proves that everyone's family background and identity are not much different, as long as they are not too snobbish, they are all peers and should get along very well, right?

was actually disgusted by others in her own home, Xiao Yao touched her face, because she was rejected by her appearance, she should be angry! I'm still happy! It won't be this kind of treatment when you go out in the future, whether you are dealing with me as a person, or with my face.

Tong Guanghui's youngest daughter Tong Yueying came over early today, and her cousin's grandfather, grandmother and father were afraid that she would not be able to cope with it, so they repeatedly asked her to help with her heart.

Fourteen-year-old Tong Yueying also saw that the young ladies of each family had an unfriendly attitude towards their cousins. How could she want to stand with this cousin herself! Get closer to your cousin, you will inevitably offend other young ladies, show others that you are good, and if you let your family know, you won't let yourself go easily, it's really a dilemma.

After listening to the play for a while, the crowd began to stir, and Li Jiaoying sent her mother-in-law to check the reason while maintaining order.

Soon the news came back, it turned out that it was because the Nine Emperor Princes and King Jing Shizi were here, which caused the young ladies to be so excited and excited, and they couldn't wait to rush to the front yard for an unexpected encounter or say hello. At the same time, they speculated whether the Xiao family also wanted to take this opportunity to let Xiao Yao climb to the royal family, and if she had this idea on her terms, the rest of the people might not be able to earn her.

If Xiao Yao knew what they all thought, she would definitely reply loudly, you have thought too much, my family and I have never had this kind of thought.
