Chapter 236: He, the old man, wants to change his son-in-law
Greet each other.
Xiao Yi took the lead in opening the brocade box held by Shi Ku, and said softly: "Grandmother's sixtieth birthday, I deliberately asked a skilled craftsman to carve a white jade Guanyin two months in advance. β
The crowd looked.
The white jade Guanyin is smooth and clear, without the slightest flaw, it is actually carved with a whole piece of mutton fat white jade, the demeanor is kind and kind, the shape is dignified and elegant, it is not an exaggeration to call it worth ten thousand gold.
"I know that my grandmother believes in Buddhism, so I thought about giving you a statue of Guanyin." Xiao Yi calmly arched his hand, "Today's grandmother has a big birthday, I wish my grandmother happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity like an immortal pine!" β
The old man smiled as usual.
In my heart, I am not very comfortable.
She heard her third daughter-in-law mention Jiaojiao's ankle injury, and after careful inquiry, she learned that it was an injury suffered in the royal hunting ground.
She has been dressed in fine clothes for twelve years, but since she got involved with Xiao Yi, she has been injured every now and then, and she feels distressed when she looks at it.
She even wanted to invite a master to test Xiao Yi and Jiaojiao again.
I always feel that Xiao Yi is specialized in Jiaojiao......
Faced with Xiao Yi's expensive birthday gift, she didn't even raise her eyelids, but smiled faintly: "You have a heart, sit down." β
Xiao Yi lowered his eyes.
He keenly captured the old man's emotional changes, but at the birthday banquet, he was inconvenient to say anything, so he had to pretend to be idle and find a seat.
When he came to Songhe Courtyard, everyone had the wisdom to reserve a seat next to Jiaojiao for him, but today, Cheng Yerou and Nanguang sat next to the little girl left and right.
No matter how he stared at them, both of them looked at each other, and had no intention of giving way.
"Xiao Yi, if you don't hurry up and take a seat, what are you doing there?" The old lady is colorful, "Can't wait to start the meal?" β
Xiao Yi: "......"
Does he seem like someone who is in such a hurry to eat?
He caught fire and sat in the corner.
He looked at Nan Baoyi.
The little girl was dressed very well today, with butterfly-like eyelashes, and her thin white and delicate fingertips poking out of the satin peach pink sleeve tube, and she was playing with a small gold silk hand stove, ignoring his gaze.
Obviously, she still didn't want to deal with him.
Xiao Yi suppressed his irritability, lowered his head and sorted out his arrow sleeves, and the afterglow fell on Chu Huainan.
This guy is here to rob his son-in-law of Nanfu.
It's a pity that the Prince's Mansion has never been wealthy, and with the white jade Guanyin he sent in front of him, he wants to know what treasure Chu Huainan can take out to fight with him.
Chu Huainan opened the brocade box.
The brocade box contains a pair of scrolls.
He said gently: "I know that the old lady is not short of gold and silver, so the younger generation specially picked up the pen and drew this birthday picture for you." β
He opened the scroll, and on the clean rice paper, he drew an ink painting of Hefei Nanshan pine, and also inscribed the word "Shou" in elegant seal script.
"Wonderful!" Nanguang was immediately full of praise, "Look at this pine tree, it is so strong, so lush, so ...... Green! Look at the white crane again, although it has lost a little weight, don't all literati think that thinness is beautiful? What is this called, Wind Bone, yes, Wind Bone! Mother, look at the gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! β
"Uncle is overrated."
Chu Huainan smiled modestly and solemnly said to the old lady: "The younger generation wishes the old lady a long spring and autumn. After 60 years of ups and downs, you have paid your life's work for the Nan family. Because of you, the Nanjia family has today's grand glory; Because of you, the Nan family can cultivate so many outstanding juniors.
"You are high-spirited and generous, you are the most respectable person in the Nan family, and you are also a model for women in the world.
"I sincerely wish you all the best in the years to come, and you will be in good health and all the best!"
He is the crown prince.
But he bowed respectfully to the old lady.
In the hall, everyone looked different.
None of them are stupid, their eyes are wandering over Chu Huainan, Xiao Yi and Nan Baoyi, and they can roughly guess that this should be a bloody and wonderful love triangle.
After scrutiny, the elders felt that Xiao Yi looked too fierce, but Chu Huainan was very gentle, so the balance in their hearts couldn't help but favor Chu Huainan.
But the juniors, led by Nan Chengli, secretly stood on Xiao Yi's side.
The hatred in Nan Chengli's heart, he hated to kick Chu Huainan out with one kick!
How good is his second brother, relying on his own efforts to become the governor of Zhenxi, is he not better than the prince?!
Xiao Yi held his cheeks.
He squinted Danfeng's eyes, although the corners of his lips rose, a gloomy storm brewed in Danfeng's eyes.
is a good Chu Huainan, this sycophant has been filmed in the sky, but he really tried his best to please the Nan family.
Did he think that if he flattered the Nan family, he would be able to get Nan Jiaojiao?
Dream.
Without waiting for him to make a mockery, Nanguang exclaimed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and we are Jiaojiao, we really have a good understanding!" The congratulatory gift you sent is a birthday picture, and our delicate birthday gift is an embroidered birthday word picture, I think, there are no words to describe your fate, hahaha! β
Xiao Yi's face became even more ugly.
He, the old man, wants to change his son-in-law.
He picked up the teacup and lowered his eyes to drink tea as if he were disguised, covering the unkindness in his eyes.
The old lady smiled incomprehensibly.
Don't blame her for not teaching moral rules, her granddaughter's happiness is her moral rules.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves Jiaojiaoer more than Xiao Yi, then she is willing to show her old face and find ways to help Jiaojiaoer destroy her marriage contract with Xiao Yi!
She paused and said kindly, "It's about to be a feast, let's move to the flower hall." Jiaojiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a guest today, you have to help entertain him. β
Give young people more opportunities to get along, so that Jiao Jiao'er can see the difference between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xiao Yi, so that she can make her own choices in the future.
Nan Baoyi got up.
Because of respect, she smiled and said, "Your Highness, please." β
The people of Nanfu went to the flower hall in a mighty way.
Xiao Yi was left alone in place: "......"
So, is there no one to take care of him now?
His face was as gloomy as water.
Nan Chengli sneaked back, approached him and said, "Second brother, you have to work harder." I'm the big brother, don't mention I want you to be with Jiaojiao! β
Xiao Yi's low mood was warmed by his words.
Nan Chengli came up with an idea very actively: "Anyway, you are Jiaojiao's rightful fiancΓ©e, I thought, it is better for you to deliberately kiss and hug Jiaojiao in front of the prince, and let him know that Jiaojiao is already famous!" β
Xiao Yi: "......"
Complicatingly, he glanced at Nam Seung-ri.
This is really Nan Jiaojiao's brother?
I'm afraid it's not a kiss, it's a table.
"Second brother, I've been in the market for many years, and this kiss is exquisite, do you know?" Nan Chengli said more and more, "You have to push hard, you even have to let the prince hear, when you kiss, cough, that violent sizzling sound-"
"That's enough." Xiao Yi interrupted him with a dark face, "How to do it, I have my own measure." β
"It's good to be measured, it's good to be measured!" Nan Chengli smiled, and before leaving, he didn't forget to wink at Xiao Yi, "It's going to be nourishing!" β
Xiao Yi: "......"
