Chapter 189: The Gambling Contract

The next day, the Xiao family had an early meal, went to the hall and sat down according to their seniority, waiting for the county lord to come and serve his daughter-in-law's tea.

Qin's heart was a little uncertain, I don't know if he, the daughter-in-law of the county lord, will give his own family a dismount first, and before his mother-in-law can take a sip of the tea she served herself, she will take the county lord's shelf!

"Ping An was wronged yesterday, and today let your fourth uncle compensate you well." Old Marquis Xiao spoke before everyone spoke, who let the two of them cause a big trouble! caused the granddaughter to be bored in the room alone all day, and they didn't mean that they were still some elders.

"Doesn't my granddaughter feel wronged, but it's just a gift? You can still ask for it. As a meeting gift for the fourth aunt today, it is indispensable, Xiao Yao rubbed her little hands and waited and waited.

It wasn't until the third pole of the sun that two red figures appeared in everyone's sight.

I know you're newlyweds, but there's no need to come so late! The family drank several pots of tea and water.

"Xiyue has seen her father-in-law and mother-in-law; eldest brother and sister-in-law; second brother and second sister-in-law; The third brother and the third sister-in-law. After reading a long list of titles, the county lord looked at the beautiful man and husband with affection, and silently asked if he was satisfied with his performance.

"Ahem, it's time to give tea to my parents-in-law." Xiao Jingyan is not as generous as Lord Xiyue, he is embarrassed to show affection in public or something.

The maid brought a thick cushion, Xiao Jingyan and Xiyue both knelt down and bowed to their parents. The Qin family didn't dare to put on too much of her mother-in-law's genealogy, and simply explained that "you want the husband and wife to be harmonious and open up branches and leaves for the Xiao family as soon as possible", and let the county lord of Xiyue get up.

"Looks like we're here at the right time!" Luo Yan walked into the hall one step ahead without warning, his eyes were firmly locked on Xiao Yao, would the Xiao family still hide people on this occasion today? Probably not!

It turns out that his judgment was correct, and the surprise attack was successful, little beauty, and we met again. Luo Yan thought that he showed a smile to Xiao Yao in a chic manner, in exchange for a contemptuous glance from the other party, he had a temper and courage, and the little beauty looked better and better under the background of a pink dress, this person was going to make up his own mind, and no one wanted to stop him.

"Brother, cousin, cousin, why are you here?" The county lord of Xiyue walked to Xiao Yao's side and blocked her behind, now is the time for him to take a stand.

Shiro said that if the twelve princes let him continue to pester his little niece, his father-in-law would not allow Shiro to return to the Xiao family, and if Shiro could not return to the Xiao family again, he would be very sad and sad, and he preferred to see the smiling faces of beautiful men, so now is the perfect time for the county lord to express his heartfelt feelings to his husband and in-laws.

"Cousin, your elbow turned out just a day after you got married, it seems that the beautiful man of the county horse is well implemented! When will I be able to experience it! Luo Yan looked behind the county lord of Xiyue, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything except a corner of his clothes.

"Cousin, Junma is your brother-in-law, so you can't mess up the ranks, you better not think about some things!" The county lord of Xiyue pulled the hem of his wide clothes, covering the corners of Xiao Yao's clothes.

Xiao Yao really wanted to give a thumbs up to the fourth aunt of the county lord, and look at what she said was both obscure and reasonable, and anyone who listened to it had to praise it for a reason.

"Snort, you are leaving this to teach others, from ancient times to the present, there are still fewer royal aunts, nephews, sisters, and even a few members of the family who have entered the palace? As long as there is no blood relationship with this prince, it is an outsider, and the other princes don't care. ”

You don't care, we still care! The Xiao family cast angry glances at Luo Yan in unison, if it weren't for Luo Yan's identity, Old Marquis Xiao would have done it a long time ago.

The atmosphere in the hall was low for a while, and the smell of saber rattling became stronger and stronger.

"Please take the county lord to leave Tianyu, Xiao knows that this is impossible to escape the death penalty, and when a few people leave, Xiao will definitely apologize for the crime with death, I just hope that you will let go of the Xiao family and my little niece for the sake of me and the county lord Xiyue, who were once husband and wife!"

Xiao Jingyan walked into the hall and said resolutely, instead of letting Luo Yan entangle, it is better to gamble on himself, and if he wins, the Xiao family will be peaceful from now on; If he loses, he will go to live in a prison cell, Xiao Jingyan believes that King Jing will definitely save him.

"How can this work?" The Qin family quit first, it's not that she doesn't feel sorry for her granddaughter, but her youngest son is her lifeline, and she can't watch her son give up his life.

"Shiro, aren't you going to ask for me? We're already husband and wife, can you really bear to abandon me? "I just got a beautiful man, is it going to be lost in a blink of an eye? Lord Xiyue doesn't want to be a widow yet.

"Twelve princes, how about we make a bet." Xiao Yao didn't want to affect others, although he also knew that the fourth uncle was more likely to act, but if he didn't show up, it would not be easy for things to calm down, so let's see how arrogant Luo Yan would be, and whether he would fall for himself.

"Come back safely." From Old Marquis Xiao to Xiao Jingkang, they shouted together.

"I'll solve my own affairs, don't worry." Xiao Yao turned around and smiled at her family, for their sake and for the sake of living a stable life from now on, she would also gamble once.

"What a bet." Luo Yan looked at the calm little girl in front of her and said in her heart, with this bearing and courage, she is also worthy of the position of a princess.

"I'll give you three questions, if you can answer them all, I'll listen to you, if you can't answer any of them, then please don't dwell on this matter anymore, let me go, and let my family go, okay?"

Luo Yan weighed it in his heart for a long time, and then nodded and said "yes".

"Peace is not to be messed around." Xiao Jingkang really hated that he couldn't catch his daughter and beat her, this kid was too bold, she dared to make any bet, did she know what those words meant, if she lost, didn't she want to let herself, her wife, and her old father live?

Tong Mingyu was already crumbling, but fortunately, Yuan Yutong helped him quickly, otherwise he would have to fall.

"You can come up with the question now." Luo Yan didn't believe that he could be stumped by a little girl.

"How about setting up a note first, and inviting King Huaiyang and my fourth aunt to testify?"

"Okay, it's all up to you."

"Third brother, you write it." Xiao Yao went to pull Xiao Yang's sleeve, but Xiao Yang avoided it angrily, this is the first time Xiao Yao has seen her brother lose her temper with herself when she is so old! Her tears were in her eyes, and her pitiful appearance made people feel distressed and helpless.

"I'll do it!" Xiao Jingyan sat at the table and ordered the maid to lay out the pen and ink, and when he heard the little niece say a word, he would write a sentence.

"Finally, write that both parties are based on their words, and they must not be reversed." After reading the last sentence, Xiao Yao told Xiao Jingyan that he wanted to make two copies, and then asked King Huaiyang and Lord Xiyue to sign their names.

"Now you can come up with the question!" Luo Yan plans to have fun with the "little daughter-in-law" today, in his eyes, Xiao Yao is no longer a Tianyu from this moment, but a native of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

"Listen to the first question." Xiao Yao smiled soothingly in the direction of his family, and then continued: "Please recite the "Women's Training" in its entirety by the Twelve Princes. ”

"I'm a dignified son, how can I carry such a thing." Loyan objected.

"I've only studied this, I haven't read any other books, don't say what you have and don't, just say yes or no." Xiao Yao knew that Luo Yan would definitely not be able to answer this question, so he deliberately made it difficult.

"I can't have this kind of topic anymore, if you ask me to embroider and make clothes, I won't be able to, our topic must be acceptable to everyone, not an example." Luo Yan stated in advance that he would not fall into the trap of the other party again.

"Does the question you just got from count!" Xiao Yao asked.

"Count, anyway, as long as I answer one thing, I will win, you have to go back to the Northern Jin Dynasty with me, and I will let you go back."

"Then I'm going to have a second question now, listen up, what won't get wet if it falls into the water?"

"There's this kind of thing, and whatever falls into the water will get wet." Luo Yan retorted.

"If you know the answer, say it, if you don't know, admit defeat first, and then I will say the answer, if you all think that what I said is wrong, I will admit that I lost to you, how about it!"

"Okay, I'll admit defeat, you can say the answer!"

"The answer is shadows, do you think shadows will get wet if they fall into the water?"

"You ......" Seeing that everyone nodded convincingly, Luo Yan had no choice but to admit that he had lost a game.

"Can I say the third question?" Quick decision, Xiao Yao didn't want to drag it out any longer.

"Say it." Loyan bred his spirits and he was hoping to pull one back in the final moments.

"The third question is, what officials not only can't get the money, but also have to pay out of their pockets."

"No way, who would be so stupid." Luo Yan scoffed at his nasal passages.

"Twelve princes, do you know the answer!"

"I don't know, you say."

"Fourth uncle, did you become an official yesterday?" While Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, she turned her head and asked Xiao Jingyan.

Xiao Jingyan, who was still secretly congratulating himself on his side's victory, was a little dizzy when he was smashed by the sudden question.

"The fourth uncle did it yesterday as a bridegroom...... Therefore, not only can you not receive the silver, but you have to take out the silver, peace is what you mean. Xiao Yi seemed to have touched a little bit of the door of his sister's question, and said the situation he analyzed.

"That's it, Twelve Princes, I hope you keep your promise and never mention this matter again."

Luo Yan stared at Xiao Yao again and again, he couldn't believe that he had lost like this.

Because of the intervention of the Northern Jin Dynasty and his entourage, the tea ceremony had to end hastily, and Xiao Jingyan and the county lord Xiyue brought this group of guests who were not popular with their families back to the county lord's mansion.

"You kid is too bold, it's just lawless, I have to punish you hard today." Xiao Jingkang walked towards Xiao Yao angrily, in the past, his wife taught her daughter that she still pitied her, but now it seems that she was too negligent, and she must be punished fiercely today, and she must not be soft.

"You...... Are you trying to scare me to death? Tong Mingyu had tears in her eyes, her hand touched her chest, God knew that she was almost scared by her daughter just now.

Is this going to be a judgment conference? Isn't it time to celebrate as a family when you win? But how does this situation look like it!
