Chapter 123: Recognition of Identity
"Yikes!" Only an exclamation was heard, and two feathered arrows came one after the other.
The apple on the top of Chu Junlan's head was pierced through his heart and fell to the ground, but Xiao Rulan squatted on the ground with her head closed in horror, the feather arrow missed it, and the apple rolled out far away.
Chu Junlan smiled softly, while walking towards Xiao Xu, she pulled her long hair at random and fixed it with a silver hairpin, and when she walked in front of him, her hair had just been pulled up, and her face was white and clear with the broken hair hanging down from her sideburns.
"Good performance." Chu Junlan patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder.
Xiao Xu grinned and called "sister", like a child who had been praised.
At this time, no one laughed at Xiao Xu for being a fool anymore, and no one laughed at Chu Junlan for having to marry a fool to get into the upper circles, and the ladies even felt a little envious when they saw such a harmonious scene.
Foolish? The son of the world is pure in heart, can a fool be able to do Shiwen? Can a fool walk through Yang in a hundred steps? Listening to the sound of "sister", the hearts of those who called softened.
Lu Ruohan took the lead in cheering and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Gongding Wang Shizi was so powerful, Wan Song was sick and didn't come to it, if he heard about this scene, his intestines would definitely be remorseful." ”
All the women laughed for a while, and they all affectionately pulled Chu Junlan to speak. Only Sun Ming'er and Xiao Rulan had a good time to comfort her.
"It's not your fault, who can not be afraid of being pointed at an arrow?"
"Yes, Sister Rulan still dares to stand for a while, if it were me, I wouldn't even dare to agree."
……
Xiao Rulan's heart finally felt a little better, and sneered: "How many women can be so arrogant? If such a woman is given to a normal man, who can stand it? ”
Her voice was not small, and the male guests not far away could hear it clearly, not to mention Chu Junlan who was not far away?
Chu Junlan raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Rulan, he didn't say anything, and he had no intention of arguing with her.
Lu Ruohan was angry, and was about to come out to theorize, but was stopped by Chu Junlan.
"Alright, let's go sit down there. I haven't seen you for a few days, has the Duchess of Dingguo been getting better these days? ”
Lu Ruohan was pulled away by Chu Junlan, she was still angry, and said angrily: "My mother is much better, she is much more energetic after using the medicine you prescribed, and she now strictly follows your requirements to eat and move every day." ”
Chu Junlan smiled and said: "Isn't this good, as long as the people we care about are good, how do other people have anything to do with us?" Xiao Rulan is not one of us, and I am not gold or silver, can I still make everyone like me? ”
Lu Ruohan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and took Chu Junlan's hand: "Junlan Junlan, I really like your temperament so much." is chic and righteous, the son of the world can meet you, it is simply a blessing that he has cultivated in eight lifetimes. ”
Xiao Xu, who was standing not far away, followed......
Chu Junlan smiled: "He's also very good." ”
"Yes, I didn't expect the prince to be both civil and military, and the archery kung fu Wan Song is estimated to be unable to catch up with the horse, and the son's illness was sometimes sick and sometimes normal before he came, otherwise he wouldn't have learned so much. It is a blessing for him and a blessing for you to heal the Son. ”
Chu Junlan nodded with a smile and met Xiao Xu's gaze.
Xiao Xu lowered his eyes helplessly, turned around and walked into the back of the bushes, and walked away quickly, so fast that Lu Ruohan didn't see anyone when he turned around.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the garden, and the sound of greetings came one after another.
Chu Junlan and Lu Ruohan glanced at each other, and they both got up and went out to take a look.
In the sunny garden, where flowers and trees are sparse, two rows of chamberlains dressed in light gray round-necked Sunflower Mountain and royal guards followed slowly behind an elderly man.
The old man was dressed in a dark gold collared plain satin dress, his figure was thin, but his waist was straight, and he still did not see his mental weakness.
Lu Ruohan was stunned: "Why is this old man here too!" ”
Chu Junlan asked in a low voice, "Who is this?" ”
"Hey, this is the old patriarch of the Xiao clan of the royal family, the ninth grandfather of the emperor today, the ninth uncle of the emperor, and the oldest one in the royal family today, if I remember correctly, he should be ninety-seven years old this year."
But it looks like an old man.
Chu Junlan nodded in surprise: "Then it's really a strange thing that his old man will visit today." ”
There are very few nobles present today, and the royal family members are all extremely marginalized - but those with some identities will not take pleasure in bullying a "little fool" of the same clan, they may not find a chance to prove themselves on weekdays, so they will brush their sense of existence on Xiao Xu's body.
Therefore, Chu Junlan felt that the nobility of some people does not only depend on their background, only those who are virtuous have a position, and those who are not worthy of virtue have already killed themselves.
Thinking like this, Chu Junlan and Lu Ruohan had already walked behind the crowd and gave a big gift to Old Patriarch Xiao with everyone.
Old Patriarch Xiao smiled and said to everyone: "No courtesy."
Everyone got up, and the royal clansmen all smiled and moved forward.
"How is the old patriarch?"
"The old patriarch's body is still so tough."
Wang Shizi of Pingkang said with a smile: "Your old man deigned to come today, and the humble house is really full of splendor. ”
Xiao Lao's patriarch Guan Er did not answer the words of the prince of Pingkang, and his eyes fell on Xiao Xu.
"This is Brother Xu."
Xiao Xu was surprised, his eyes were full of childishness, he nodded with a smile and walked closer to salute, and said obediently: "Hello great-grandfather!" ”
In terms of seniority, Xiao Xu wants to call Uncle Jinshangtang, and the patriarch of Xiao Lao is indeed his great-grandfather's generation.
But in the royal family, even if you have to be called an old patriarch today, let alone Xiao Xu.
Everyone secretly shook their heads in their hearts, and they were really fools.
Old Patriarch Xiao smiled and nodded again and again: "Okay, good, Brother Xu is fine now." I just heard that you still do eight-strand current writing? Did you read a book on weekdays? ”
Xiao Xu nodded: "Back to my great-grandfather, I have read a lot of books!" I often go to my father's study. ”
"Okay, good, you're a good boy, you're about to get married now, and if you become a parent in the future, you have to live a good life."
"Yes, I must treat my sister well."
Old Patriarch Xiao nodded his head again and again, and said with a smile as if no one was around: "When you worship your ancestors in the New Year, you will bring your daughter-in-law with you." ”
"Okay." Xiao Xu smiled and nodded naturally.
Everyone gasped.
Between this question and the answer, it is equivalent to the old patriarch Xiao acknowledging Xiao Xu's identity.
You must know that because he is a fool, no one in the Xiao clan has ever been able to pass him, not to mention worshipping ancestors, that is, he went to the Xiao family's Huangzhuang to have a look, and went to the ancestral hall for a walk, all of which defiled the territory of the Huangzhuang!
But now, he is recognized!
When everyone was stunned, Old Patriarch Xiao looked in the direction of Chu Junlan with a smile.
"This is the girl of the Chu family, right?"
Chu Junlan walked forward with a smile on his face, and bowed under the incredulous gaze of everyone: "Little girl Chu Junlan, I have seen the old patriarch. ”
