Chapter 3: Marrying Xiao Gongzi?
Xiao Lin slowly stepped from the gate, the purple robe on his body made him a little more chic and light-hearted, and the black hair tied up was even more arrogant.
Step by step, he swept past the dignitaries sitting on both sides of the hall with an understatement, and then focused his eyes on Xiao Hongshan, the old man of the Xiao family.
Looking at Xiao Hongshan's white hair and wrinkled face, a few rays of light flashed silently in Xiao Lin's deep black pupils.
"Grandpa. Xiao Lin slowly bent down and whispered to Xiao Hongshan.
It is Xiao Hongshan, the old man who looks extremely old in front of him, who supports the huge Xiao family. Xiao Linli knows very well that it is because of Xiao Hongshan's protection that he can live to this day without worry, and he can still be alive and kicking after every trouble.
This "grandpa" seems to others to be just a call. But for Xiao Lin, this is a gratitude and respect for Old Man Xiao that can't be repaid.
"Well, it's good to be here, why don't you hurry up and salute your lords. Xiao Hongshan looked at his grandson who had been raised for more than ten years, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, so he pretended to be indifferent and glanced at everyone present and said.
Xiao Lin nodded to Xiao Hongshan, and then bowed to the adults on both sides of the hall to show respect: "Your lords are polite. ”
At this time, looking at Xiao Lin's polite appearance, everyone shuddered in their hearts, feeling extremely weird. Everyone thought that this prince would make less noise on weekdays, which would be the greatest courtesy.
"The old man of the Xiao family has been a hero all his life. Now Xiao Gongzi is a talent, personable, and has the demeanor of the old general Xiao in the past. ”
After a while, after everyone was stunned for a while, a voice hurriedly came out of the crowd.
As soon as these words came out, many people twitched the corners of their mouths abruptly, and they all glanced at the officials who said this, and they all quietly showed a look of disdain.
The official who said this seemed to feel the gaze from all corners, and he coughed lightly a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then smiled with a smile that could not be seen in any pretense.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched slightly, thinking in their hearts: "Xiao Gongzi is a talent, and he is still personable? Can he have the demeanor of the old general Xiao back then? ”
Inside and outside the capital, who doesn't know that Xiao Gongzi Xiao Lin is extremely gentle, except that the saint does not dare to touch it, there is no chaos and crimes that Xiao Gongzi does not dare to make trouble in the huge capital.
However, in front of the old man of the Xiao family, the dignitaries sitting on both sides of the hall did not dare to say these words in their hearts. After all, now is the best time to shoot Old Man Xiao's ass, and you must not talk nonsense.
"Today's coming-of-age ceremony, I am here to congratulate General Xiao on his happiness in the East China Sea, and on his bright future. ”
"Xiao Gongzi is really a young and handsome man, and he really deserves his reputation when he sees it today. ”
"Today, Xia Guan brought the stinky boy who was not able to come over under his knees, and it is a great blessing to be able to participate in Xiao Gongzi's coming-of-age ceremony. ”
Immediately after, one after another compliments came from the crowd.
Old Man Xiao sat high in the lobby, and listened to everyone's compliments one after another. Xiao Hongshan has been fighting horses all his life, and his blood has stained the country for decades, how can he not know the careful thoughts of the people in front of him.
Xiao Hongshan knew very well in his heart that as long as he lived one more day, then Xiao Lin would have one more day of worry-free, and one more day would make others open their eyes and talk nonsense like this.
If Xiao Lin is really as talented as they say, how good it would be!
Xiao Hongshan sighed quietly in his heart: "Alas, so far, I just hope that this kid won't make too much trouble in the future!"
Xiao Lin sat lightly on Xiao Hongshan's left side, even if his six senses had been opened and the memories of his previous life had returned, he had to sigh in his heart for the pretense of these people, which really made Xiao Lin admire.
After a while, the compliments in the lobby gradually dissipated.
Immediately, Xiao Hongshan slowly opened his wrinkled and chapped lips, glanced at everyone, and said, "Thank you for coming to celebrate Xiao Lin's coming-of-age ceremony, and the old man will give you a glass." ”
After saying that, Xiao Hongshan picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.
Seeing Xiao Hongshan put down the empty wine glass, everyone was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and said in unison: "General Xiao is polite." ”
Then the people also put the wine in their mouths, not daring to dare to hold on to it.
"Hmph!" a cold snort broke the seemingly lively and cheerful atmosphere.
The Liu family, Liu Hanfeng, is nearly seventy years old, and Xiao Hongshan is the same minister of the dragon. He has an official residence, and the official worships the prince and the prince, and he is powerful in order to deal with the political affairs of the court today.
Liu Hanfeng is also the contemporary head of the Liu family, and he is Liu Yaqing's own grandfather.
And, it was Xiao Lin's flirtatation a month ago, and she was also a well-known mute girl in the capital.
Xiao Hongshan hurriedly looked at Liu Hanfeng, who was sitting on the noble seat, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and said: "Today, in addition to giving Xiao Lin a coming-of-age gift, the old man has one thing to tell you. ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials present were shocked from the bottom of their hearts. They can be in a high position, they are all human spirits, and they immediately guessed what Xiao Hongshan was going to say next.
"What's the matter? Old General Xiao might as well say it directly. But even if everyone had already guessed, they still had to pretend to be puzzled and asked.
Xiao Hongshan stared at Liu Hanfeng in a blink of an eye, and Liu Hanfeng nodded with a darker face. Then, Xiao Hongshan slowly spoke: "My lords, after the discussion between the old man and Lord Liu, I intend to form a family, so that Xiao Lin and Lord Liu's palm pearl can form a marriage. ”
"A month later, there will be an official wedding. ”
Wow –
Although the Xiao family and the Liu family asked the current saint a few days ago, and the saint also issued an edict agreeing to this matter, but at this moment, Xiao Hongshan mentioned it again, which still shocked everyone.
The Xiao family and the Liu family were originally first-class families in the Great Han Kingdom, with huge influence, and now they are tied together by marriage, like a tiger with wings, who will dare to anger these two tiger whiskers in the future.
"Congratulations to General Xiao, Lord Hexiliu. After a few seconds of silence, someone immediately got up and agreed.
"Congratulations to the old general, I heard that Lord Liu's pearl in the palm looks like a fairy, and Xiao Gongzi is a match made in heaven, and I will definitely come to ask for a glass of wine at that time. ”
......
Bursts of congratulatory voices spread in all directions, but they made Xiao Lin completely silent.
"This ...... The old man ......" Xiao Lin was stunned suddenly, his pupils shrank rapidly, and he sighed helplessly in his heart: "Now that the matter has come to this, it seems that there is no room for redemption." ”
Originally, Xiao Lin still wanted to slowly deal with this matter, but when Xiao Hongshan told him about it in front of all the adults, the meaning contained in it was different. Xiao Hongshan made it clear that he wanted to deter the major official families in the capital, so that everyone could understand that even if he Xiao Hongshan was not back then, he still supported the Xiao family.
Old Man Xiao's decision, firstly, to deter all parties, secondly, to hope that Xiao Lin can still be carefree in the future, and thirdly, to solve the previous matter of Xiao Lin bullying Liu Yaqing, the young lady of the Liu family, from now on, Xiao Lin will join the Liu family, even if the Liu family is not waiting to see Xiao Lin, they can't do it, and they even have to protect Xiao Lin, a cheap uncle.
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Hongshan's side face, and could clearly see Xiao Hongshan's white sideburns, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and muttered to himself: "Old man, for my safety, is it worth throwing away your last remaining majesty and solemnity?"
Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Lin's son is extremely gentle, and he can be said to be a master who causes a lot of trouble, and maybe one day he offends the saint, which is not a joke. Xiao Lin broke into the Liu family a month ago and loudly ridiculed Miss Liu for being a mute, not only was she not punished by the Liu family, but she was also married and tied to the Liu family.
It is conceivable that Old Man Xiao discussed things with the old man of the Liu family in private, and he was afraid that he would fall behind and lose his bones.
Looking at Xiao Hongshan's rickety figure, Xiao Lin's heart began to tremble gently and uncontrollably.
On weekdays, Xiao Hongshan is very strict with Xiao Lin, just to train Xiao Lin to become a talent, but no matter what Xiao Hongshan does, Xiao Lin has not made any progress, which makes Xiao Hongshan's heart sad.
A month ago, Xiao Lin even recklessly provoked and bullied Miss Liu, which made Xiao Hongshan even older. For this reason, Xiao Hongshan thought about it for a long time, since he couldn't let Xiao Lin regain the prestige of the Xiao family, it was better to let him spend his life in peace.
Therefore, there is a marriage between the Xiao family and the Liu family.
"In this case, a month later, the official will send someone to send a congratulatory gift to marry the son of the Xiao family on behalf of my family Yaqing. ”
Liu Hanfeng's face was as dark as darkness, and he seemed to snort reluctantly and spoke. Liu Hanfeng is still very uninterested in Xiao Lin, and he is too lazy to talk nonsense.
Suddenly, a cold hiss rose slightly, and they all looked at the high-ranking Liu Hanfeng.
Marry...... The son of the Xiao family, Lord Liu is too bad for the Xiao family, so let's say a few polite words!
Everyone was swallowing their saliva, suppressing the tremor in their hearts, and constantly looking at the change in Old Man Xiao's expression, for fear that Old Man Xiao Hongshan would suddenly be angry.
However, to everyone's surprise, Old Man Xiao only trembled slightly, then took a deep breath and said, "I will ...... What Lord Liu said. ”
After Xiao Hongshan said this, he seemed to have drained the strength of his whole body, and the whole person seemed to be a little older.
Boom –
The Xiao family, the home of the Zhenguo of the Great Han Kingdom, the old man Xiao Hongshan is willing to let his Xiao family enter the Liu family alone, it is really unimaginable. Even though everyone had already heard of it, when they really heard these words coming out of Old Man Xiao's mouth, they still couldn't hide the shock and horror on their faces.
Liu Hanfeng stared at Xiao Hongshan, and seemed to be stunned for a moment because of Xiao Hongshan's compromise, and the dark color on his face suddenly disappeared by half. Then, Liu Hanfeng glanced lightly at Xiao Lin, who was sitting quietly, and was about to leave the banquet in disappointment. After all, if it weren't for the marriage, Liu Hanfeng wouldn't have appeared here, and a junior of the Xiao family couldn't afford to let him come to congratulate him.
Everyone looked at Liu Hanfeng's back step by step, and the sound of clappling footsteps reached everyone's hearts.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a grim voice broke the eerie silence.
"Lord Liu, let's stop!"
