Chapter 245: Human Favor
Although the family didn't suspect anything, Xiao Yao's mood couldn't calm down, she didn't know how the person surnamed Xie would react, whether she would cause trouble to her family, King Jing's Mansion and Lingnan Palace. Xiao Yao took his little nephews to play near the gate, in fact, he was waiting for the eldest brother who was the palace gate guard, and wanted to inquire from him to see if he could get some useful information.
"Shizi, you're here." The porter greeted Yun Yichen respectfully.
"Well, are the old marquis and Uncle Xiao here?" Yun Yichen threw the reins to the people behind him, and took a big stride towards the courtyard of the Xiao family, to his great surprise, he actually saw Xiao Yao as soon as he walked into the gate.
The two of them looked at each other in surprise, Yun Yichen thought, what is fate, this is it! Xiao Yao chuckled in her heart, but what she was thinking about was whether something really happened, and her heart couldn't touch the wind and snow.
"There are so many boys in your family." With six brothers, plus a little pervert brother, not to mention, and now there are two little cubs who are pulling the hem of their little girl's skirt, and the two of them are hiding behind Xiao Yao, looking at Yun Yichen timidly and curiously.
"They're my nephews." Xiao Yao reached out and gently touched the heads of her nephews, gently comforting them not to be afraid.
Inexplicably, Yun Yichen felt that he was no longer irritable just now, and his mood slowly stabilized. Xiao Yao seems to have a magical power in his body, which can make him relax and become calm.
"That ......," both men said at the same time.
"Let's talk first!" Yun Yichen showed a faint smile that was not easy to detect, he could guess what Xiao Yao wanted to ask.
"Okay, then I'll tell you first, how happened yesterday, did the person surnamed Xie go to you and Kong Xiaojun King for trouble? If he doesn't forgive you and blames me, I don't want anyone to be implicated by me. ”
"Do you know what he wants? Are you really willing to grant all the demands of a scoundrel? ”
"I can't let the Xiao family be implicated because of me, but I won't disgrace the family and shame them, the men of the Xiao family stand up to the sky, and the girls are not bad." After saying this, Xiao Yao smiled calmly, she would rather die than let that kind of person get her wish.
"You ......" Hearing this, seeing her expression, Yun Yichen still didn't understand anything, this girl looked weak, but her heart was ruthless and hard than anyone else.
"Everything has me, you don't have to worry, the brother and sister surnamed Xie have been ...... by my imperial uncle and father And my cousin and I have been sent back to the residence, you have been going out less recently, if you have to go out, remember to bring more people, I will send some secret guards to protect you. ”
Xiao Yao looked up at Yun Yichen in surprise, and then said casually: "Is it the princess's aunt who wants you to help me?" ”
"Whew" himself is dull enough, Yun Yichen didn't expect that there would be people who were even more unenlightened and incomprehensible than himself.
"If King Jing's Mansion hadn't intervened, I think this matter would have been difficult to solve! Thank you, and I will remember this kindness. ”
"Really? So how do you want to repay the palace and me? Yun Yichen laughed twice, and looked at Xiao Yao for a long time and asked.
"Ah...... How about I give you a screen when the prince gets married? ”
Yun Yichen thought about it for a moment and shook his head to refuse.
"I'll help you embroider a quilt for hundreds of sons and grandchildren?"
Yun Yichen still shook his head.
"And what do you want?" Xiao Yao wrinkled her little face, unable to understand what Yun Yichen, who had always been cold, wanted.
"I heard that you are very good at embroidery now, how about helping me embroider two big wedding dresses?"
"You are going to marry two...... The princess? "The royal relatives are different, they can marry two daughters-in-law at a time, and I don't know if Ruonan knows each other or not?
"What do you want!" Yun Yichen really wanted to reach out and slap her.
"It's my big wedding dress with the princess."
"Doesn't your concubine know how to embroider dresses?"
"Not as good as your embroidery."
Xiao Yao wants to roll her eyes, if you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, you will use others as embroiderers!
"I don't know her, how do I know what she likes and what her body is? I can't take care of the son, you can find someone else! ”
Yun Yichen also guessed that Xiao Yao was very likely to reject herself, so let her embroider herself.
"She's a little taller and fatter than you, a year and a half is enough!"
"Can I meet her? I want to ask the other person what style they like. ”
"Choose the best, don't you have an embroidery workshop, and you also accept other people's customizations? In the next few days, you should think about it first, and in five days I will go to the embroidery workshop to deliver the clothes and see the patterns you have drawn. If you don't embroider for me, you can always draw a pattern for me! ”
"No problem."
"Okay, you can embroider the princess's dress by hand."
"Actually, there are several embroiderers in my embroidery workshop who are better than me, why don't I recommend one to you?"
"No, you don't."
"Okay!" This is eyeing yourself, right, who makes yourself owe favors to others! I could only agree to come down.
"I'm looking for the old man and your father, are they there?" Yun Yichen really wanted to talk to Xiao Yao like this, but the two of them spent a long time alone without a name and no distinction for fear that her reputation would be hindered, so Yun Yichen had to reluctantly say the true purpose of the trip.
"My dad is not at home, my grandfather doesn't know if it's in the study or the backyard, I'll let people look for it, you go to the living room and sit first!"
"Why don't you pour me a cup of tea?"
"Hey! It seems that you really can't owe someone a favor. Xiao Yao had no worries, and she also had leisure and jokes.
What do you owe me this favor, there will be more in the future, and there is no need to repay it in other ways, as long as you keep this son by your side for the rest of your life, Yun Yichen thought beautifully.
Xiao Yao had just made tea for Yun Yichen, and the sonorous footsteps of Old Marquis Xiao came.
"As soon as I hear the footsteps of the old man, I can't help but think of the days in the Guozijian, and his old man bullied me a lot." Yun Yichen shook his head as he recalled.
"My grandfather was the kindest and most reasonable man." The most unpleasant thing for Xiao Yao is that someone says bad things about Old Marquis Xiao.
"Haha, haha...... said that the old man is kind and it depends on who the other party is. Yun Yichen laughed out loud, she never has to worry about being bored with the little girl, she just has the ability to make the atmosphere lively.
"Yun boy, are you bullying my granddaughter?" Before the old marquis Xiao entered the living room, a loud voice had already come.
"Now you know what your grandfather was like to you, and what he was like to others!" Yun Yichen looked at Xiao Yao and said, the old man will come in a while, the little girl will leave, this time has passed too fast, it seems that the kung fu "third party" has appeared in the blink of an eye.
"Xiao Ping'an, why are you here, your third aunt and Ruyi are going to the play, aren't you going?" Old Marquis Xiao took his granddaughter's hand and asked for warmth, not only ignoring Yun Yichen, but even the two great-grandsons were ranked behind Xiao Yao.
It wasn't until the grandparents and grandchildren were tired that Xiao Bingwen and Xiao Binghong called "great-grandfather" in a milky voice.
"You two naughty bags, pestering your aunt again, why don't you find Aunt Yuan to play, just find your Aunt Yao!" The little granddaughter is strong and strong at the same time playing with the two children, there are many things to do, and the body is weak, the children have to pester her, it's really a strange thing.
"Little aunt spanking." Xiao Lang's son, Xiao Bingwen, covered his little buttocks with both hands and said with a look of grievance.
"The little aunt bites Hong'er's face." Xiao Yi's son Xiao Binghong rubbed his little face and complained, he dared to speak more than his brother.
"My aunt will be close to you because she likes it, and she won't beat you every day what you're afraid of, and besides, boys are not allowed to be squeamish, and those who are about to start practicing martial arts should exercise in advance." Old Marquis Xiao didn't blame his granddaughter at all, but blamed his great-grandson for being squeamish.
Xiao Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and comforted her nephews: "Auntie will talk about your little aunt tomorrow, let's go back to the backyard!" ”
"Old man, let's go to the study, I have something to give to you and the Xiao family." Yun Yichen said after Xiao Yao nodded goodbye to him, his sweetheart left, and he also took away his tenderness, and it was time to get down to business, but unfortunately his future father-in-law was not at home, otherwise he would definitely be impressed by himself.
When he arrived at the study, Yun Yichen took out the holy decree drafted by King Jing and handed it to Old Marquis Xiao with his own hands.
"Yun boy, why didn't you say that you were here to deliver the decree earlier! I'm going to let someone put the incense on the table, you wait a minute. After the old marquis finished speaking, he wanted to go out and call people.
"The old man's will doesn't need to be accepted by everyone, as long as a few elders in your family know what's going on, no matter who asks him, you can tell him that the will has been there a long time ago, and it was not delivered today." Yun Yichen stopped Old Marquis Xiao and explained to him.
"Why?"
"Do you still remember my imperial uncle's promise to you that the daughter of the Xiao family would be independent in marriage?" What is this called? Is there anything more ironic and ridiculous in the world for a man who wants to marry their granddaughter to give such a will?
"The emperor has such an edict, is it ......" Could it be that the emperor regretted seeing that he had grown into such an appearance? Old Marquis Xiao looked at Yun Yichen nervously, his hands clenching the armrests of the chair.
"That's good news, absolutely good news, don't be nervous." Where has Yun Yichen ever seen Old Marquis Xiao like this, he has always known that the Xiao family loves Xiao Yao the most is the one in front of him, and today this understanding has been refreshed again. Yun Yichen dared to say that if it was now a matter of life and death, and let the old marquis make a choice between himself and Xiao Yao, he would definitely leave the opportunity to live without hesitation to his granddaughter.
"You kid can't finish his words in one breath, I don't know if people can't be stimulated when they're old! I thought it was ...... You're sure it's a good thing! Old Marquis Xiao was still not at ease, and confirmed again.
"It's really a good thing, not only is the marriage of your two granddaughters decided by the Xiao family, but they can also stay in Kyoto, they don't have to marry far away, and they must be their wives when they get married."
"Show me the Decree." Old Marquis Xiao's excited hands trembled a little, this is definitely good news, it is necessary for everyone in the family to share it.
See...... Looking at the holy decree, Yun Yichen remembered that the old marquis was illiterate, which ...... You're sure you understand!
