Chapter 271: Boxing

After Xiao Lang returned home and freshened up, he locked himself in his room for a whole hour, he had too many things he didn't understand, and there were countless questions that he couldn't answer.

After some ideological struggle, he decided to ask his father and uncle, and maybe he could find the answer from them!

Xiao Lang told his father and uncle in detail about the events from his arrival at the Royal Palace to his return. What puzzled him was that after listening to these words, his father and the third uncle looked at his uncle together, they were all full of worries, and the uncle didn't know what to think, and there was no response for a long time, and the reactions of the three people were very different from usual.

"Don't talk about it to outsiders anymore, and your grandfather can't tell about it, can you? Go back and rest! What to do and what to do, just to remember that the things of the other garden must be rotten in the stomach and never be mentioned in the future, understand? Xiao Jingtai opened his mouth to send his son away quickly, the eldest brother has often been in a daze and wandering away since he knew that Ping An was remembered by King Jing's Mansion, and he has no mind to deal with other things now.

The wife is right, how much I envied the eldest brother and sister-in-law at the beginning, and now I sympathize with them more, which pair of parents don't feel distressed when they hand over their daughters who have grown up with careful care to others! What's more, Ping An is still a treasure held in the palm of the hand by the whole family, if other men in the family hear the news, they have to form a team to go to King Jing's Mansion to ask them not to worry about safety.

"King Jing's son is showing favor to us, it seems that he is determined to marry peace." Xiao Jingmin whispered, he couldn't bear to disturb the big brother who was deep in thought.

"Hey! The eldest brother and sister-in-law may feel how uncomfortable they are! I used to look at such a high level of peace, Ruyi, Ah Jun and Ah Qi. Xiao Jingtai compared a height about the same as the table, and then continued: "At that time, I always wondered when these children would grow up, and now that they have grown up one by one, I feel that it is better to be a child." ”

At that time, there was no need to worry about the two girls in the family, and there was no need to worry about not seeing the two girls who smiled like flowers every day.

"Hey! King Jing asked me to have tea together after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xiao Jingkang's eyes were staring at the ground, as if responding to his younger brothers, as if talking to himself.

"Did you say yes?" The two younger brothers asked in unison.

Xiao Jingkang nodded, unless he didn't want to form this family business, otherwise there was no reason to refuse. The people in the whole of Kyoto who can make King Jing do this step can be counted on one hand, not to mention that Xiao Jingkang is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, he understands the truth that everything must be done in moderation.

A few days later, the Xiao family was preparing a gift to the provinces, and the gift list was jointly drawn up by Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan under the supervision of Tong Mingyu. Xiao Yao made a lot of gift boxes, using long strips of colored satin to tie them into various patterns, some with bows, and some with silk flowers made by the maids, which are very beautiful.

"Madam, the festival of King Jing's Mansion has arrived."

"Madam, the festival of the Lingnan Royal Mansion has arrived."

Tong Mingyu, who was doing things, suddenly coughed when he heard these two "bad news".

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yao dropped the things in her hand and hurried over to help smooth her breath, and patted her back, she didn't understand why her mother was fine just now, why did she suddenly cough!

"Auntie, drink some water." Xiao Yuan handed Tong Mingyu a cup of warm tea, look! Taking care of the affairs of a big family makes people tired and coughing, and I want to live like my mother and second aunt in the future, rather than being busy every day like my aunt.

No one noticed that the mother-in-law in charge of the report did not quit, because she still had nothing to say! And it's a very important thing that hasn't been reported.

Yun Yichen and Kong Xuzhe entered the door and saw such a scene, Xiao Yuan meekly leaned on Tong Mingyu's side, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, serving tea and pouring water; Xiao Yao was on the side, conscientiously and responsibly commanding his subordinates to do things instead of Tong Mingyu.

Every word she says is simple and to the point, and every time she finishes something, she leaves time for others to give their opinions.

When the two sides looked at each other, they were full of shocked expressions, Yun Yichen didn't expect to see their sweetheart here; Tong Mingyu glared angrily at the mother-in-law. Why didn't these two people report clearly, if they had learned the news in advance, they would at least hide the two girls! What should I do now?

Isn't it enough to send a steward to give a Boxing gift? I haven't heard of any master who will personally escort gifts, is this a new trend popular this year?

Xiao Yao was still a little more reserved, just looked at the two of them with surprised eyes, Xiao Yuan was much more straightforward, she changed her docile and quiet appearance just now, trotted to Yun Yichen and opened her mouth and asked, "What are you doing here?" Do you want to see what we have prepared in return? Guaranteed to make your eyes shine and you have never seen it. ”

Yun Yichen didn't have time to be funny with Xiao Yuan at the moment, he quickly glanced at Xiao Yao, respectfully clasped his fists and gave Tong Mingyu a salute, and at the same time said, "Little nephew to ask for peace to aunt." ”

"Yes, yes, the little nephew has seen his aunt." Kong Xuzhe smiled at Xiao Yuan and squeezed his eyes, quickly changed into a serious face and bowed in the direction of Tong Mingyu. It's a pity that his mother-in-law is not at the scene at this time, otherwise he would be very satisfied to see such a polite son-in-law!

Aunt, Tong Mingyu really didn't have the courage to agree, and she didn't want to agree, because the price was too high, and she couldn't afford it now.

"You two go back to the backyard first!" Tong Mingyu didn't want to see the two beams of gaze projected on her daughter and niece. The door is a guest, and the identity of the person is there, and sending away her own children is the only way she can think of.

"Mother, let me stay and help you do things! Xiaohui, you find someone to send Yun Shizi and King Minjun to my grandfather's study. After Xiao Yao finished speaking, she continued to do her own thing, and there were people around her, so she didn't notice that someone would look at her from time to time.

The ruthless little girl, who hasn't seen her for so long, didn't even say hello to herself, and shouted that Yun Shizi was here. In her eyes, she is no different from others, which is too shocking!

Yun Yichen handed the gift sheet to Tong Mingyu with both hands and withdrew from the door with interest; Kong Xuzhe did the same, but when he passed by Xiao Yuan, he asked in a low voice: "Are those painting books good-looking?" When I finish reading it and find someone to send it to me, I will send it in person. ”

He dared to be so blatant here, if he wasn't here, would this person get closer! Tong Mingyu looked at the boy who was smiling and funny with his niece, and then looked at Xiao Yuan's lifeless and coquettish eyes, Tong Mingyu felt that the day when the third brother and sister were not far from preparing for their daughter's family affairs.

"Ruyi, come here." Without waiting for Tong Mingyu to speak, Xiao Yao spoke first, this King of Minjun should be his own home! With so many pairs of eyes looking at him, he dared to be so unruly, thinking that the Xiao family was easy to bully!

Kong Xuzhe laughed twice and went to chase Yun Yichen, he didn't dare to offend Xiao Yao, Yun Yichen would be unhappy and not say anything, and it was very likely that he would be retaliated against by Xiao Yao. This person has too much influence on Xiao Ruyi, and if he says a few bad words, he will lose all his efforts.

The old man is not at home today, and Xiao Jingkang feels awkward and reluctant to show up, so it is Xiao Jingtai and his son who are responsible for entertaining them today. Xiao Jingtai didn't want to come forward, but who made his son owe someone family favors!

Yun Yichen originally wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet Xiao Yao by chance, although the situation of meeting was very different from what he expected, but people have to learn to be content, right?

The future mother-in-law looked at her eyes and revealed a message, she had acquiesced in this family affair, but she didn't want to admit it yet, because there was guardedness and pickiness in her eyes, but there was no disgust.

Bear with it! If you want to marry someone else's heart, how can you not be snubbed and white-eyed, and your father who hasn't seen a little girl is unwilling to come forward to receive him? They need time to come to terms with this, and they know that.

The Qin family was very excited when they saw the gift list of Jingwang Mansion and Lingnan Palace, don't look at her rarely going out recently, but she also vaguely smelled a different atmosphere. If she hadn't noticed that Jing Wangfu's attitude towards her eldest granddaughter was different from that of others, she had lived for more than sixty years in vain.

Okay! That's great! But before she was completely sure, she cleverly didn't say a word, not only that, but she also planned to lie to the old man after she heard the news that King Jing's Mansion was going to propose marriage...... coaxed to leave home for a while, and then tell him the result directly on the day the dust settles, when everything is a foregone conclusion, will he dare to regret the marriage.

But what's going on in this Lingnan Palace, she can't believe that pies will fall from the sky twice, and she doesn't dare to associate it with her little granddaughter. Because she also felt that before the eldest granddaughter got married, at least before the marriage, no one would notice the little granddaughter who was obviously still a child.

Seeing the long gift slips of the two palaces, Xiao Yao grabbed her hair angrily, what kind of trouble are these two going to make! Isn't that to disrupt your own plans? The gifts have been distributed almost, just waiting for tomorrow to be loaded and sent away, but some people just don't follow common sense to play cards, and prepare the Boxing Rite as a New Year's gift, how to pay it back!

"Mother, did they give the wrong gift! Who gives so many gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival, what should they give during the New Year! Xiao Yao complained to her mother, she was busy for several days, and all her efforts were overturned at once, depressed!

My mother is more depressed than you! Your hard work for a few days has been in vain, and what your mother will lose is the most precious thing.

"You don't have to change the things you prepared, the rest of the mother's relatives will find a way, peace, how did my mother find out that you are lukewarm to the son, do you hate him?"

If her daughter doesn't have a good impression of him, she must definitely stand on her side, getting married is a major event related to whether she can be happy for a lifetime, and her daughter must be willing.

"No! Shizi is not bad, much better than those lustful dogs and horses in Kyoto, but he is too cold, I am just an ordinary friend with him, and nothing else can be talked about. Xiao Yao was afraid that her mother would misunderstand, so she tried to explain in detail.

"So you don't hate him, do you?"

"Not annoying." But I don't want to get in touch, dealing with Yun Yichen will do more harm than good, Xiao Yao knows it in her heart!

"Mother understands." Tong Mingyu knew that her daughter could evaluate a boy like this, at least it proved that she had a good impression of him, and she knew what to do.
