Chapter 220: Parade in the Streets
Xiao Yang and Tang Hao were both admitted to the Jinshi, and Tang Hao was indisputably appointed by the emperor as the champion as the first place in the palace examination, Xiao Yang was hand-picked as the leader, and another son surnamed Sun was hand-picked as Tanhualang.
On the day of the Zhuang Yuan Parade on the street, the Xiao family brothers and sisters took up their positions early and learned the lesson of the last time, this time Xiao Yi, Xiao Rui, Xiao Jun and Xiao Qi surrounded Xiao Yao impenetrable. Xiao Jun even held his sister's hand the whole time, and he had to help smooth the slightest gap in the hat.
Last time, because it was inconvenient for the county lord to follow, the Xiao family thought that there were so many guards and it would be fine, but the result! Xiao Yao showed her side, and provoked several people who came to the door to propose marriage, and there was also the Han family that the Xiao family didn't want to deal with the most, so it couldn't be paid attention to!
Old Marquis Xiao couldn't bear to trap his granddaughter at home, so he told his grandchildren to take turns to protect his two younger sisters, so today's situation happened.
Seeing that because she was alone, Xiao Yao secretly decided that she really wanted to minimize the number of times she went out in the future, and she couldn't delay the normal life of her brothers for herself! Today's situation is special, so let yourself let it go again.
As soon as he arrived at the private room of the restaurant, Xiao Jun helped Xiao Yao take off his hat, and he couldn't find a fan in a hurry, so he used his sleeve to fan his sister.
"Sister, you're hot! If you are thirsty or not, the fifth brother will ask you for a glass of honey water to drink! Xiao Jun slapped for a while
He asked with concern.
"Fifth brother, I'm not thirsty or tired, don't be nervous, okay? I'm not someone else's delicate lady, you don't have to stare at me without blinking. Xiao Yao pulled a chair and asked Xiao Jun to sit down, he was thirteen years old and he was not a porcelain doll that would break at the touch of a button.
"Just because you are not squeamish and too strong, the fifth brother cares about you very much, if you marry in the future, you will definitely suffer, and those people outside don't have many good things at all.
"You know that kid from the Wang family of Qi County! There are already seven or eight women in the house, and they are clamoring to marry you every day, and I tell you, if my grandfather and father hadn't stopped me, I would have repaired him a long time ago.
And what Yun Yichen, who led a city lord's daughter to swagger through the city, and asked me to say that I would take it back to King Jing's Mansion to worship heaven and earth, what kind of bend! Xiao Jun began to instill in Xiao Yao every day that other men could not be trusted, and only he was the most reliable.
Yun Yichen, who was sitting next door, had a cold face, and he had faintly heard rumors about himself and Xie Qingxuan in the past few days. He always thought that it was some small people in the market who were idle and chewing their tongues, so he ignored it.
Now someone actually put eye medicine in front of Xiao Yao, and it was her brother who said this. Yun Yichen really felt that there was nowhere to vent his discomfort, and at the same time, he hated his hands and wanted to beat Xiao Jun and him to fight each other.
"Fifth brother, let's not talk about this, no matter what, in the face of the princess and the county lord, our family can't say the rights and wrongs of the palace, if the prince gets married, the Xiao family will go to give gifts and drink wine; If it's just a rumor that someone else is gossiping, we don't have a share in it. ”
The little girl's words are much easier to hear, but how can this tone be as casual as talking about passerby A wanting to marry! Yun Yichen was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yao's tone and attitude, it was too calm, too bland, and he couldn't hear the slightest dissatisfaction and sadness.
"What makes me most angry is that everyone is talking about the fact that the city lord's daughter looks very similar to you, and even looks much better than you, who believes it! Fool it! ”
"It would be great if that were the case, the hat of the first beauty in Kyoto is too big, and your sister and I have too small a head to wear it at all, and if someone helps me take it off, I won't be happy yet!" Xiao Yao also longs for the kind of days when she wants to go out, if it weren't for too many people's attention, Xiao Yao would have wanted to encourage her father to take her around. There are not many days of freedom, but it is inconvenient to go out to play, and I am depressed.
"Let me be fair, that city lord's daughter is indeed affectionate towards Yun Shizi, but Yun Shizi looks lukewarm, not like she has that meaning." Xiao Rui objectively evaluated Yun Yichen.
Yun Yichen and Xiao Rui have been together for four years, and the relationship between the two is not good or bad, Yun Yichen, who didn't expect him to say this, suddenly realized the importance of having someone to talk to him by the little girl's side. If today's public opinion is tilted towards Xiao Jun's side, his prospects will be even less optimistic. Just when Yun Yichen sighed, Xiao Rui gave him a heavy blow.
"Maybe the prince wants to capture the old man, after all, marrying the city lord of Xuancheng is only good for Tianyu and King Jing's mansion, there is no harm, how many beauties do the royal children want, even if they have a peaceful appearance, they can find it, right?" Xiao Rui talked about Yun Yichen and Xie Qingxuan disapprehantly, he never dreamed that the topic person was sitting next door, and their conversation was listened to almost word for word.
"This is the matter of the Jingwang Mansion and the Xuancheng City Lord, so let's not follow in the fun." Xiao Yi became a parent, became a father of the child, the whole person is much more stable, and he is the future helmsman of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, of course, he will not dare to express any opinions like Xiao Rui.
"Why are you comparing me to me?" Xiao Yao was the last thing she wanted to hear someone pull her Yun Yichen together.
"How can I smell vinegar in the house! Brother, shouldn't Miss Xie ignore you, I like your cousin, you are jealous! Xiao Yuan asked in a circle around Xiao Rui with his back hand.
"Nonsense, I don't look down on people who don't look as peaceful! There's no reason why my sister is so good, but my daughter-in-law is useless! Xiao Rui said unconvinced.
"Then you'll have to be ready to fight for the rest of your life." Xiao Yuan spread his hands and pouted at his brother with disdain.
"Why don't you have any faith in your brother!"
"Tell me how I can develop this faith! It's so embarrassing! ”
"You ......"
"Don't make any noise, the procession is coming this way, go and put on your hat safely." Xiao Yi commanded his younger siblings to hurry up.
"I don't want to wear that, the four of you stand in front of the window, I'll hide in the back, just leave me a gap and let me take a look when the third brother comes over." Xiao Yao especially doesn't like to wear a bib, she wants to see the third brother clearly, and when she gets home, she will draw a picture of the street parade.
"What if someone else sees me? Xiao Yi let his sister be coquettish and flattered.
"I promise I won't let anyone see it." Xiao Yao raised two fingers with an oath, how long can the third brother pass by the window, no one will find out.
"If anyone sees you, grandfather and father will clean up the four of us, and then you will really be a disaster." Xiao Rui spoke again, looking quite aggrieved.
"I'm not a kid anymore, if I hadn't lost my purse to see those young ladies last time, I wouldn't have had an accident."
"You're here to see if I'm still Yun Shizi." Xiao Rui teased.
"It's really to see Yun Shizi." Xiao Yao covered her mouth and snickered, like a child who had eaten candy secretly, very happy.
"You!" Xiao Yi was relieved to see that his sister was just watching the excitement, and not really paying attention to Yun Yichen himself. After thinking about it, she was worried again, with Yun Yichen's identity and status today, her sister didn't care, what kind of husband did she want to find!
"Let's also take a look at Zhuangyuan Lang Tang Gongzi, he has changed a lot now than when he was a child, I thought he could do Tanhua!" Xiao Yuan had some impression of Tang Hao and mentioned it casually.
"That prodigy? It seems to be quite powerful. Xiao Yao admires learned people very much, and also admires him for studying outside alone, and the others are gone.
"You've only met once when you were kids, do you still have an impression?" Tang Hao's mind is known in the Xiao family except for the two sisters, if it weren't for his family in Jiangnan, he would really be the best candidate to be the son-in-law of the Xiao family.
Yun Yichen walked to the wall where the two rooms were connected, and listened carefully to the voice of the other side, if the little girl was really interested in the new champion, what should she do? With his pride, he should have turned around and walked away, but why was he so sad in his heart!
"I just think he is quite admirable, studying alone in Beijing, and still being able to achieve such excellent results, the Tang family should be very happy! I remember that there was an old birthday star in their family who was over 80 years old, and he even gave me a jade pendant back then! The room was full of her own family, so Xiao Yao did not shy away from it, and said her true thoughts in her heart.
"That Tang Hao is already a candidate for a husband for the official ladies of Kyoto from now on, and I don't know who will end up in the end?"
Xiao Yi looked at his sister's face, and said slowly, his younger brother had already told his parents and himself Tang Hao's thoughts about peace, such a rare candidate made them hesitate, and finally Xiao Jingkang decided to see Xiao Yao's attitude, if she was also willing, she would let her marry under the pressure of her father; On the contrary, refuse decisively, and don't delay the time of Tang Gongzi.
"Oh!" Xiao Yao replied with a word, nodded to the second brother with an expression of "I know", and turned around and leaned behind Xiao Jun to see the approaching street procession.
Tang Hao, who was wearing a champion uniform, rode a high-headed horse at the front of the team, and the whole person looked like a jade tree in the wind, gentle and modest.
"Sister, do you think he looks a little like the groom's officer!" Xiao Yuan is not afraid of people and crowds in the middle of several brothers to join in the fun.
"Like, the third brother is here. It's still my third brother who looks pleasing to the eye, much more handsome than that Tanhualang. You can see that Sister Shangguan is also in the crowd, and she said that she didn't dare to climb the third brother, I think it's obviously wishful thinking, she is just embarrassed to admit it, no, I'm going to explore her tone in two days, the third brother is famous, there is no reason to be single! Xiao Yao glanced at the procession on the street a few times, and then focused his attention on Shangguan Yuhan.
The future third sister-in-law, come to the third brother's bowl quickly! Our family is ready for another happy event.
This child is very sober about other people's problems, and when she comes to herself, she is confused, what can she do! Xiao Yi looked at the two younger sisters who were discussing how to impress Miss Shangguan next to each other, and suddenly sympathized with her future brother-in-law, how should such a little daughter-in-law who was incomprehensible get along with them!
