Chapter 280: Rumors (2)

I don't know if Yun Yichen really did something, or if everyone is tired of the topic of Xiao Yao, slowly people are concerned about firewood, rice, oil, salt and interesting stories about the neighborhood. Officials avoided talking about this topic since they knew that King Jing Shizi had begun to investigate the fact that the eldest lady of the Xiao family was rumored to be a red face and a disaster.

Just when the Xiao family thought that the clouds on their heads would soon disperse and life was about to return to its original state, Xiao Jun's face was bruised and purple, his clothes were obviously torn, and he returned home with a limp.

Xiao Yao saw Xiao Jun's embarrassed appearance from a distance, she threw the account book in her hand to the people around her, lifted her skirt and went to chase Xiao Jun, there have been enough things at home recently, and he also went out to fight with people, it was too much.

When approaching Graceland, Xiao Yao slowed down, if her mother found herself running up regardless of etiquette, she would be preached. As soon as I walked around the corner, I heard Mama Zhang instruct the little maid: "Watch the door, if the eldest lady comes, remember to mention it only once." ”

Why did Mama Zhang let the maid look at herself! Could it be that the fifth brother's injury is related to himself, the more he is like this, the more he wants to know what happened.

Graceland is Xiao Yao's home, and she has lived there for several years and is all too familiar with the environment. Xiao Yao easily found a small corner door leading to the backyard, and saw the mother-in-law sitting on the door, dozing off little by little, quietly bypassing her, turning around to the back window of her parents' room, and pricking up her ears to listen to the corner.

"Let me tell you something! Don't you think your home is messy enough now? Tong Mingyu complained with a little anger.

"Whoever asked them to speak ill of their sister, next time I let me bump into it, I will still do it." Xiao Jun was confined by Xiao Jingkang at home for several days and didn't go to the academy, today the academy has an exam, he was allowed to go out, but he didn't expect to meet a villain on the first day of going out, the words he said were extremely ugly, and mixed with foul language, how could he bear it!

"You go back to your room and change your clothes, and ask Qingshan to help you get some medicine, don't let your sister see that you've fought, understand?"

Seeing his youngest son leave, Tong Mingyu sighed heavily, if one day her daughter knew that she was criticized and her reputation had been affected, I don't know what she would be sad about?

"The doctor told you to recuperate, and you can't move the liver fire." Mama Zhang reluctantly reminded that she would repeat this sentence many times a day, but unfortunately it had no effect.

Recuperate, can't be angry, you have to have that life! Tong Mingyu lamented in his heart.

"The rumors outside are gradually subsiding, it won't be long before everyone will forget about it, the eldest lady is so good, she will definitely find you a satisfactory son-in-law." Mama Zhang coaxed and persuaded Tong Mingyu that Xiao Yao was the child she watched grow up, not only with outstanding appearance, but also with a lot of character. The people who spread those words were obviously jealous of the eldest lady, and came up with such a shady way to destroy the eldest lady.

It seems that he is "causing trouble" again, could it be that the grandfather's birthday banquet staged a show that caused some trouble? Mama Zhang, can you make it clearer! Xiao Yao leaned her ear to the window, hoping to hear some inside story.

"Married, this kind of thing happened, I don't dare to count on it, and when Ah Yi's daughter-in-law is born, I will go to live outside with peace and leave Kyoto far away."

Have you reached the point where you can't get married? Xiao Yao rolled her eyes calmly, can she say that her mother's words are exactly what she wants?

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary lately! How did it get to this point? It's one thing if you don't want to get married, but it's another thing if you can't get married, and it's another thing to get anxious and angry with your family.

Mama Zhang said a lot of comforting words to Tong Mingyu, and Xiao Yao quietly left the window after listening for a while. Squatted in the corner once, except for knowing that he had caused trouble to his family again, he didn't get any useful information, who should he ask about?

Fourth uncle! It's him, because the fourth uncle has never let himself go home empty-handed.

As soon as Xiao Yao entered the gate of the county lord's mansion, she felt that the atmosphere was wrong, could it be that the fourth aunt was about to give birth? She left the maid and ran to the Xiyue County Lord's room, and at this time she had already forgotten about the news.

The new steward who had been here for a few days knelt straight outside the main gate of Xiyue County, and several maids and mothers-in-law were busy going in and out, Xiao Yao didn't know what was going on, so she had to grab the fourth aunt's eldest maid Yixue and ask.

"You mean that the fourth aunt ate crabs, didn't I say that you can't eat cold things in the last month? You guys...... How is my fourth aunt now? Xiao Yao asked anxiously, and at the same time silently prayed in her heart that the fourth aunt would never be fine.

"Fortunately, the county lord only ate one, and his stomach hurt for a while, and now he is better, and he just fell asleep." What Yi Xue wants to say more is to ask Xiao Yao to come back to help, at least until the master gives birth to the little master or young lady smoothly.

Xiao Yao understood the unfinished meaning of Yi Xue's words, she nodded and walked lightly into the room, glanced at the sleeping person, and returned to the courtyard.

I really shouldn't have left the matter of the county lord's mansion at this time, today is lucky that there was no accident, if the fourth aunt and the child have any mistakes, they will feel guilty for a lifetime.

Xiao Yao told Yixue that she would come over tomorrow to help, and as for whether the one kneeling outside the door was released or punished, it was not her business.

When Xiao Yao found the fourth uncle, their father and son were eating crabs head-to-head.

"Fourth uncle, you ......" You don't have to be greedy, how old is Xiao Yucai, where can you eat these things all the time.

As if the father and son had done something bad and were caught, Xiao Yu pushed the crab shell in his hand and in front of him to his father's side, picked up a sweat towel and wiped his hands and pounced directly on Xiao Yao, for several days...... I haven't seen my beautiful sister in the morning, and I miss it so much!

"Take the Seventh Young Master down to change his clothes." Covered in greasy and dirty, who rarely hugged him, Xiao Yao turned around in disgust to avoid it.

Sending away the reluctant Xiao Yu, Xiao Yao sat opposite the fourth uncle, did not speak or move, just put his hands on his cheeks and looked directly at Xiao Jingkang.

"Okay, okay, if there's anything you want to ask!" I just want to eat crabs to my heart's content, why is my niece so unrelenting!

"Tell me what happened in the front hall on my grandfather's birthday!" Xiao Jingyan opened her mouth, Xiao Yao also moved, and she put away all the intact and eaten crabs on the table.

"Nothing happened." The food was taken away, and I still wanted to hear the news, but there was no way. The most important thing is that my father and eldest brother told me never to let my niece know about the birthday banquet.

"Okay, if you don't say it, I'll tell her about you taking Ah Yu to eat crabs when the fourth aunt wakes up, and I'll ...... when the time comes."

"I can only say that you don't have to worry if you have everyone here, there will be nothing to do in a while."

Saying that he is indeed in trouble, the specific reason is that the family can't bear to tell themselves, it seems that this time the trouble is not small! My mother is sick, my father has lost weight, and my grandfather has a gloomy face every day. What could it be that they couldn't solve?

"If you say it, maybe I can help you figure it out!"

No matter how smart you are, you're just a child, something that adults can't do, can you come up with a solution? Xiao Jingyan expressed disbelief.

Today's Xiao Jingyan is extremely stubborn, and Xiao Yao tried his best to get any useful news.

Something has happened, something must have happened! Xiao Yao no longer threatened the fourth uncle, but begged the fourth uncle not to tell others what he said. She was not in the mood to stay here any longer, and she walked back alone and carefully recalled the situation on the day of the birthday banquet, and did not find an answer until she entered the distant building.

At home, you have to pretend that you don't know anything, eat and do things happily, and you can't show your feet at all.

Two days later, a matchmaker gave her the answer she wanted.

No one in Tianyu will refuse the matchmaker to enter the door, whether it is the official media or the acquaintances invited by the personal family to be the matchmaker, they must be entertained with good tea and snacks.

Xiao Yao, who was reconciling the accounts, suddenly heard the sound of falling things coming from the direction of the living room, and after a long while, Xiao Yao faintly heard Tong Mingyu's intermittent crying. It must not be a trivial matter to provoke the generous and dignified mother to lose her temper, Xiao Yaoteng got up from his seat and moved his chair and ran in the direction of the living room.

"Mrs. Xiao, don't look at the current situation, our county palace does not dislike your eldest lady's bad reputation, and it is already good to give a concubine a position. You are all over Kyoto to inquire about it, except for our Qijun Palace, who is willing to welcome an unruly woman who attracts bees and butterflies into the door. ”

A middle-aged woman dressed in flowers and branches, exuding a pungent fragrance all over her body, stood in the courtyard and shook her handkerchief, she thought that today's family affair was nine out of ten! I didn't expect the Xiao family to be so ignorant, and still treat a girl with a bad reputation as a baby.

"My daughter doesn't need your alms, don't say it's a concubine, even a wife is not rare in our family, go back and tell your master, if you dare to talk nonsense everywhere, I will definitely find the door." Tong Mingyu was held by two maids and stood in the middle of the courtyard to confront the matchmaker.

"Yo! Yo! Keep it! Wait until you are in your twenties and can't get married, and see who will want it. "The matchmaker was sent by the princess of Qi County, and the order she got was that the Xiao family would give a dowry if they agreed, and pick a small sedan chair to carry people into the county king's mansion on a certain day.

If the Xiao family doesn't know how to lift, they will make a big deal about it, so that the neighbors will hear what the eldest lady of the Xiao family is, and they will have the evil anger of being rejected for so many years.

This matchmaker took a lot of money to do things for the princess of Qi County, and stood in the courtyard of the Xiao family to help the employer belittle Xiao Yao.

The Xiao family standing in the courtyard, whether it is the master or the subordinates, they can't figure out where this woman has the confidence to dare to shout in the courtyard of the Xiao family, isn't she afraid that she will never be able to get out of this door again?

"Where did this crow come from, it actually landed in our yard, I will pluck its feathers and tear its beak today, and see how it croaks." Yuan Yutong, who came quickly, stretched out his hand to push away the crowd, and she was followed by Xiao Yuan who shouted "Mother, I'll help you".

"Do you want to bully people because there are too many people? What did I say wrong, your eldest lady hooked up with the champion, and she is not clear with the prince of the Northern Jin Dynasty, what else is Xie Gongzi, tsk, they all rushed to come to the door to celebrate her birthday, your young lady is really good! ”

It turned out that this kind of thing happened, Xiao Yao looked at the sky speechlessly, and dared to love her "good name" of being red and ruined.
