Chapter 100: Incense (4)
In the dining room, the table has been set up, and the steaming and fragrant dishes have been served one after another, such as Luohan Zhai, Tomato Sauce Coconut White, Southern Milk Braised Vegetarian Dish, Sixi Vegetarian Food, Mushroom Three Fresh Soup, as well as various stir-fried and vegetarian chicken and vegetarian fish......
After Yun Yichen arrived, everyone sat down in turn, Princess Jing sat in the first place, her son and the Qin family were on the left and right, and Xiao Yao happened to sit directly opposite Yun Yichen. Because of the presence of nobles, the Xiao family also changed the habit of chatting while eating, and Xiao Yuan scratched her ears and cheeks, Xiao Yao comforted her with a smile while serving her vegetables.
But even if there is food and a sister, this quiet dining environment still makes Xiao Yuan feel very awkward.
"Ruyi, what's wrong with you." Yin Qianhua, who had been observing her for a long time, asked, don't be uncomfortable with the child!
"No, nothing." It's just a little depressed, Xiao Yuan knows that this is not his home, and he has to endure it if he doesn't want to.
"Mrs. Xiao, this kid ......" Is there something uncomfortable?
"I'm not afraid of the princess's jokes, we never pay attention to the rules of eating at home, and she is probably a little unaccustomed to eating quietly today." Qin explained.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly nodded in response, it was too painful not to let people speak.
"Say whatever you want." Yin Qianhua smiled and encouraged her niece, this child is interesting, and the rules of the Xiao family are also special, what a different family!
"Is that okay?" Xiao Yuan glanced at Yun Yichen, compared to the princess and aunt, this prince made Xiao Yuan even more afraid, you said that you are a child, you don't have a smile all day long, and you don't talk much, you are not happy and don't say it, and it may affect others, do you know?
Yin Qianhua saw Xiao Yuan's concerns, she hoped that her son could give her niece an encouraging smile, even if she didn't smile and make a simple response! Son, you are so reserved and cold, you will frighten children!
Yun Yichen also seemed to feel that some people were focusing their eyes on him, in fact, he was not unacceptable to speak during dinner, but today's situation is a bit special, once his cousin speaks, will the little girl next to her take the opportunity to sue herself?
"Say whatever you want, otherwise it's really boring." Yin Qianhua saw that her son couldn't count on it, so she had to speak in person to appease her.
"That's it, that's it, you don't know, talk while eating, be in a good mood, eat enough, and your body will only get better and better." Xiao Yuan explained in detail the benefits of eating and talking.
"Makes sense." Yin Qianhua also spoke freely when she had dinner with her husband in private, so she was deeply touched by this and felt that there was some truth in it.
"Sister, do you like the taste of the food here? I think Luohan Zhai is quite delicious. ”
Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, today's food is very delicious, which must have a lot to do with the presence of the princess, and the treatment of ordinary officials' families is definitely not so good.
"Sister, why don't you speak!" Xiao Yuan said strangely.
Yun Yichen also glanced at Xiao Yao intentionally or unintentionally, did she want to wait for an opportunity, the most suitable opportunity to sue herself, a cunning little girl.
Xiao Yao has already made up her mind to talk as little as possible today, so as not to provoke this prince inexplicably, and in that case, everyone's faces will be embarrassed. The princess is very kind to her family, and she has a good impression of her, and she can't spoil the atmosphere because of a spoiled boy.
"Peace, if you have something to say, don't be restrained." Yin Qianhua then encouraged.
Yun Yichen looked at Xiao Yao in amazement, had she finally waited for the opportunity?
Xiao Yao didn't seem to see Yun Yichen's surprised expression, but replied to Yin Qianhua very politely: "Back to the princess, I don't have anything to say." ”
"These two children are very much to our liking, I hope to invite them to be guests when the little girl celebrates her birthday in a few days, I don't know if Mrs. Xiao can agree."
"It is an honor for the two of them to be in the eyes of the princess, it is an honor for my Xiao family, we agree, of course we agree." What a surprise! It would be a great honor to be invited by the princess.
"What do you two sisters think?" Yin Qianhua turned her head and asked the party.
Now that I think about it, I dare say no? Xiao Yao sneered.
"Thank you, princess, for not disliking our sisters for being naughty." Xiao Yao answered the question.
"To the palace? I've never been there! ”
"It's not the palace, I'm going to hold a birthday banquet for Ruonan in the other courtyard." There are Han side concubines, mothers and daughters in the house, how can people be in the mood for their birthdays! It's better to have fun outside and eat comfortably.
"I don't know what day the county lord is born." Tong Mingyu diverted the topic, it was an open secret that the princess and the side concubine in King Jing's mansion were not on good terms in Beijing, so hurry up to the next topic, don't be asked any embarrassing questions by her daughter or niece who doesn't know the truth.
"February 23."
"Wow! It's only ...... different from my sister Three days, sister, the county lord is older than you! Xiao Yuan covered his mouth with his hand and snickered, quite a bit of schadenfreude.
"Really? Maybe Ping An and Ruonan will become good friends at that time! This is also Yin Qianhua's wish, this little girl of the Xiao family can always give people a very comfortable feeling and want to be close, she is like a warm beam of sunshine that can shine into people's hearts, making people feel warm.
"I also hope to have a chance to get to know the county lord." Xiao Yao smiled.
Yun Yichen poked the rice bowl in front of him with chopsticks, he shouldn't have gone out today, he thought he had won a game, but he didn't expect his mother to invite them to attend his sister's birthday banquet in another courtyard, depressed!
Yun Yichen's reaction was fully seen by Xiao Yao, who inadvertently raised his head, how much does a person hate the other party to have such a reaction! Xiao Yao also felt that it would be good to find someone to calculate before going out today, and today must be a bad day for herself.
After the meal, the two families said goodbye to the host and got into the carriage to return to Kyoto.
"Peace and wish, on the twenty-third day, my aunt will send a carriage to pick you up." Yin Qianhua, who got into the carriage, once again raised the curtain and instructed.
"Aunt Princess, we remember." Xiao Yuan responded enthusiastically.
Xiao Yao really wanted to refuse, she really didn't want to see this prince again, would the emperor's relatives be amazing? Can you just put on a face to show others? She is also the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, so why should she swallow her anger and suffer the humiliation he inflicted inexplicably.
"Princess, they will definitely remember your words, please go first." Tong Mingyu saw that her daughter only smiled and didn't answer, so she hurriedly said, this child is also a little abnormal today.
Let's say that she is not familiar with the princess, as if the two have known each other for a long time; said how familiar they were, and it didn't look like their daughter's polite and detached attitude, and when they went home, they must ask what was going on between Ping An and the princess.
Sitting in the carriage of the palace, the journey was indeed unimpeded, and in less than an hour, they had already returned to Kyoto. After saying goodbye again at an intersection, Yin Qianhua ordered the coachman to send the daughter of the Xiao family all the way back to the Xiao Mansion on Qiguan Street.
At dinnertime, it is the time for the family to reunite, and it has always been the tradition of the Xiao family to talk and laugh and eat at the same time.
"I can finally talk casually again." Xiao Yuan said with emotion.
"I thought you were so happy to see a princess today that you wanted to go to the palace with someone!" As his own brother, Xiao Rui is always the first person in the family to stand up and laugh at Xiao Yuan.
"I don't want to go to the palace to live! Don't talk when eating, and there is a prince who seems to owe him money, and there is no good thing about our family. ”
"Yun Boy is a person who doesn't like to talk, except for King Jing and the Nine Emperor Princes, the grandson of Mu Guogong's Mansion, I haven't seen him pay much attention to others." General Xiao evaluated it very objectively.
He's not just a talker! It's just that the illness is not light, Xiao Yao couldn't help but say crookedly, he may have been stimulated by something, maybe he has a distorted personality and a psychopath, otherwise, how could he treat himself with such an attitude.
"Princess Jing invited Ping'an and Ruyi to attend the county lord's birthday banquet today! Second daughter-in-law, from tomorrow, you put down other things in your hands, just make clothes for these two children, choose jewelry, what you want, if we don't have it in the library, come to me. "Qin's businessman was born, and the most important thing is money, with the theory that she has money and can travel all over the world, she feels that as long as she is willing to pay, she can buy anything she wants.
"You don't have to deliberately dress up, just treat it as an ordinary banquet, my Xiao family's children don't have to be judged by others, let alone deliberately flattering anyone?
Peace and wishful thinking, you must remember that if there are people who are truly good friends with you, it is okay to make friends with one or two. If someone dares to be unreasonable to you, you don't have to endure or retreat, just fight back. "The way General Xiao teaches children is always that different.
I have been bullied for a day, in the face of reality, grandfather, your theory is not completely applicable, there are always people in this world that we can't afford to mess with, and we can't mess with them, Xiao Yao sighed silently in her heart.
Qin's family really wanted to refute her husband's remarks, the set of beating and killing was barely enough to use on his grandson, is it really appropriate for you to let the two little girls roll up their arms and sleeves to confront people?
"Especially Ping'an, if any young lady dares to bully you, you should come back and tell your grandfather, it's strange if I don't go to their house to smash the door."
After a group of people looked at each other, they could only sigh helplessly, and they didn't know if you always wanted to help your granddaughter or hurt your granddaughter, and you could even think of a way.
"I'm asking people to choose women who can do martial arts from among my family members, and after I find them, I'll pick a few more kung fu from them, and the women of the right age will stay behind to protect peace and ruyi."
"That's a good idea." Xiao Jingkang also agreed, after all, as his daughter grows up year by year, there will be more and more opportunities to go out to banquets, and having two people who know kung fu by her side every day will make people feel much more at ease.
"I'm in favor of it too." Xiao Jingtai echoed.
"I think it's pretty good, too." Xiao Jingyan was rare and solemn.
"In this way, if someone dares to exclude my granddaughter, let people directly throw the other party away, and save peace and wishful thinking to avoid it." After saying this, General Xiao raised his head and waited for everyone to praise him again.
After listening to General Xiao's words, the room became silent for a while.
