Chapter Ninety-Six: Defeated

King Jing is a very promise-keeping person, on the third day after the two of them drank tea, Xiao Jingyan received an edict from the emperor, sent him to accompany King Jing to the northwest, and awarded the post of secretary and young eunuch of Wupin, which is called to let him go to the northwest to collect some calligraphy and paintings rich in local characteristics for the emperor.

After the Xiao family learned that the emperor had given such an order, most of them were surprised and could face it calmly, but only the Qin family had a few handkerchiefs in their hands that were already wet with tears.

"Why did the emperor give such an order? Brother Yan went to the northwest, what should I do? Qin Clan whispered the same words over and over again.

"What do you mean you keep crying? Is it to express dissatisfaction, or to send our whole family to the cell. General Xiao, who couldn't bear it anymore, said softly.

"My son is running away from home again, can't I cry?"

"You don't want him to be reluctant, then I will risk disobeying the holy decree and going to the palace to ask the emperor to take back the holy order, so that you can be satisfied."

"Don't go, I won't cry anymore, won't I cry anymore?" This is going to be raided, who can cry anymore.

Seeing that the old wife finally cleared up the rain, General Xiao breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and after a while, he was crying for a while.

Men should go outside more often, even if they can't break into a world, it would be good to increase their knowledge!

What's more, now that Kyoto is full of rumors, it's better to go out for a walk than to let your son worry at home!

There should not be any big danger in this crackdown on bandits, otherwise the emperor would not have sent his own brother to go, and his son also has an official position, which is a good thing to put out one by one, and I don't know what the old wife is crying about.

"At most, my son will come back in three or five months, you see that I have only been out for a few months, and I have been promoted again and can make friends with King Jing, it is simply a beautiful thing!" Seeing that the old lady regained her senses, Xiao Jingyan also joined the ranks of persuasion.

General Xiao glared at his son fiercely, what did you do just now, now I see that Lao Tzu has almost persuaded people, and you are here to behave again.

Xiao Jingyan wanted to say, I had to be able to interject just now, you dare to talk to the old lady in that tone, do I dare!

"Mother, don't be sad, maybe the fourth brother will bring you a daughter-in-law back when he goes out this time!" Xiao Jingtai thinks that this is very appropriate.

"I want a well-informed woman to be a daughter-in-law, like your three sisters-in-law, Brother Yan, you must not look for those barbarian and foreign women outside, there are still people in Kyoto who are eyeing it, you say, how can I rest assured that he goes out alone." There was a hint of crying in his tone.

"The fourth brother will definitely not mess around, he has always taken your words to heart, isn't it, fourth brother." Tong Mingyu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for her mother-in-law and handed it over, and persuaded her softly.

"My family affairs are all decided by my mother, whoever you choose, your son will marry, when you want your son to marry, when your son will marry." Xiao Jingyan assured without pause.

"Now that it's a foregone conclusion, let's do whatever we want." General Xiao was anxious to escape from this greasy and crooked scene, threw down a sentence, and was the first to leave the upper room.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you ask people to prepare, on the first day of the first month of next month, I will go to the temple to make incense." Pray to the Bodhisattva to bless his son to go early and return early, and be safe.

"Which temple would you like to visit?"

"Just Biyun Temple, everyone who has nothing to do that day will go." The Qin clan, who rarely gave orders, repeatedly admonished. It's as if the more people who go, the more secure my son's safety will be.

"Okay, when the time comes, let's all go, the whole family will go." Tong Mingyu not only promised that he would go, but also helped his younger siblings, daughters, and nieces. Now is not the time to reason with my mother-in-law, as long as she can make her old family feel at ease, let alone go to the temple once, even if you go ten times, you have to agree.

When the two little girls heard that they were going to the temple to pray for the fourth uncle and ask for peace charms, they had no objections.

Xiao Yao: Whether it's useful or not, it's good to ask for peace of mind. Xiao Yuan: I can go out to play again, I heard that the vegetarian food in Biyun Temple is particularly delicious.

In order to show sincerity, the Qin family personally did everything about the incense, and after all the preparations stopped, he still asked three times a day, "Everything is in order" and "Have you forgotten anything"......

The night before he went to incense, Xiao Jingkang pinched his wife's shoulders and joked: "You have to check the items used for incense several times a day, will the good things be broken instead?" ”

"I can understand my mother-in-law's feelings, if Ah Yi or Ah Yang travels far away, I'm afraid I'm not much better than my mother-in-law!"

"Good men are ambitious, so they should go out more."

"Men can never understand what it's like to be a woman and a mother." Tong Mingyu shook his head and sighed.

"My second brother and I have also gone out, but we have never been treated like this by the fourth brother, fortunately, we both have big hearts, otherwise we would have to go to our mother and ask, did we pick it up?"

"Do you think parents should treat every child fairly?"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Jingkang asked suspiciously.

"Well, from tomorrow onwards, I will treat all four children equally, how about it!"

"That's not what I meant, how can boys and girls be the same! Boys should grow up in an environment where they are beaten and suffered, and girls must be the complete opposite, they must be pampered, protected, and even grow up with whatever they want. ”

Look, "must", "definitely", "even", Tong Mingyu really wants to ask her husband on behalf of her son, your son also picked it up outside!

"Tomorrow, take Ping'an to visit Biyun Temple, where the bamboo forest, the inscription is famous all over the world, and vegetarian food, many dignitaries and nobles like it very much."

"Actually, I don't think being your son is the most pitiful, the most pitiful should be the one who will be your son-in-law in the future."

"What you said is not right, what he is most pitiful about is not a father-in-law like me, but a grandfather like my father." After saying this, Xiao Jingkang couldn't help but laugh gloatingly, if anyone thinks that the son-in-law of the Xiao family is good, it is a big mistake, but the five levels and six generals must not be cheap that stinky boy.

Tong Mingyu quickly understood the meaning of her husband's words, and the couple couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan are also talking about tomorrow's incense.

"I heard that the vegetarian food in Biyun Temple is particularly delicious." Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his small mouth occasionally "clicked" twice.

Ruyi, we seem to be going to pray for blessings tomorrow.

"I heard that the stele forest there is famous all over the world, we can go and see it tomorrow." Xiao Yuan didn't care which master's masterpiece it would be, and having an excuse to hang around was the key.

Ruyi, it seems that we should be more concerned about how to ask for peace charms tomorrow.

"Sister, do you think there will be little nuns in the monastery, if so, let's stay there for a few days." I've never seen a little nun before!

"Go to bed, you have to wake up early tomorrow." Ruyi's imagination is too wild, and she can't keep up with her rhythm at all, so hurry up and wash up and go to bed!

"Sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning, why don't we sleep together?"

"Ruyi, it's not that my sister doesn't like to sleep in the same bed with you...... "I really can't sleep in a bed with you!"

"I've figured out a solution to this problem."

Although Xiao Yuanren is fat, his hands and feet are very sharp, he ran to his sister's bedside, kicked off his shoes a few times, and then climbed into bed, rolled up on the quilt laid by the maid in advance, and after a while, he rolled himself into a big zongzi.

"Sister, I'm not smart, is this method good!"

This is the solution you came up with, Xiao Yao felt that she was really defeated by this sister!
