In the next few days, Li Chengning finally understood what it meant to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Just because he asked Xiao'er to notice Gao Xianzhi on a whim that day, this originally very caring sister completely abandoned her own brother and quickly became close to Brother Huaijin. Not only is he always clinging to that kid when he is playing, but he also likes to talk about it in his spare time, and if he goes on like this, he feels that his position as half a master is about to be unkept, why bother!

"Second brother, you said that you did it yourself, why are we not treated by the little sister!" Seeing the little girl like a jade carving smiling at Gao Xianzhi, Li Chenghuan really didn't feel good in his heart.

He is very precious to this only sister, and he likes to eat and play all the treasures. But I don't know what went wrong, Tao Yao didn't buy his account, and when she saw him, she cried and wiped her tears at every turn, and even worse, she once hid when she saw him for a while. made everyone in the house look at him angrily, and that look, as if he had abused his little sister in private, made him have no place to redress his grievances at all.

It's good now, Gao Xianzhi has only been back for half a month, and Tao Yao has already identified him as his own, and he, who is not favored in the first place, can only stand aside now. With Li Chengyu's violent temper since he was a child, he can not resist beating Gao Xianzhi at this time, which is already a great progress.

Touching his nose, Li Chengning was obviously also depressed: "How did I know it would be like this!" His original intention was to use Tao Yao's estrangement from Gao Xianzhi to strike at the old adult guy who always looked like an adult, but he never expected his sister to be so uncooperative. He was surprised, what is so good about this Gao Xianzhi, why can it be so attractive to Tao Yao?

"Okay, why do you two reject Huai Jin so much." Picking up the teacup in his hand and taking a sip, Li Chenghong, who was dressed in cloud white clothes, sat peacefully in the gazebo, and just smiled lightly at the strange and harmonious scene in the distance: "General Gao and his father are like brothers, and Huai Jin is also the elder brother of the child, it's rare that the two of them get along so well, shouldn't we be happy?" Moreover, he also understood what his parents meant, in terms of the embarrassing situation brought about by their status, the future of Xiao'er may not be smooth, but if he can marry into the Gao Mansion, the situation will be completely different.

"My brother is still here, which round will I get that guy's ......" He muttered unwillingly, but Li Chenghuan never dared to object to his brother's words. It's just that he is about the same age, and Gao Xianzhi can't hold himself down everywhere, which makes him really a little envious and jealous.

But Li Chengning noticed a different meaning from Li Chenghong's words: "Big brother, is my father still planning to ......" He didn't finish his words, because this topic is still a taboo in the house so far, and he is just thoughtful, so he has an insight into the implications early on. At least on the surface, no one has officially put forward relevant opinions.

Nodding, Li Chenghong's gaze stayed on Tao Yao for a long time, and his expression was extremely complicated: "It should be a matter of time." After all, since Xiao'er was born, His Majesty the Emperor's attention and favor to her have been too eye-catching, and it is normal for her father to want to prepare early. ”

"That ......" against Li Chenghuan's suspicious gaze, Li Chengning frowned, and just wanted to ask a few more words, but saw that the little girl in red was just like a dancing butterfly, and ran over like a fluttering butterfly and plunged into Li Chenghong's arms: "Big brother, you haven't come to play with Xiao'er for a long time, Yao'er misses you so much!" ”

"Good boy." A face that had always been indifferent rippled in an instant, and Li Chenghong's eyes stroked the head of the little man in his arms with a smile, and his tone was gentle as if he could drip water: "The eldest brother has been accompanying his father to deal with the affairs of the house recently, you have to listen to your other brothers." ”

"Well, Yao'er will be very obedient." Rubbing his eldest brother's palm like a kitten, Tao Yao jumped down from him with a smile, and grabbed Gao Xianzhi who was walking slowly behind her with her backhand: "Big brother, Yao'er likes Brother Huaijin very much, and Yao'er will follow him to study in the future, okay?" ”

"Oh?" Looking at Gao Xianzhi with some surprise, Li Chenghong's eyebrows were still there, and he ignored Li Chengning's resentful gaze on his side: "Why?" Isn't your second brother good at teaching? He remembered that this little girl had always admired Cheng Ning to the extreme, so why did she suddenly change direction?

"The second brother is naturally good!" Hurriedly affirmed, Tao Yao's delicate little face suddenly floated a touch of crimson, as if the high-grade mutton fat white jade was stained with glow, more and more pure and delicate, simply beautiful, so that people can't take their eyes off: "It's just that you are so busy every day, and the time with Xiao'er is getting less and less......" In contrast, Brother Huaijin can accompany herself more, and I don't know why, she likes the feeling of staying by his side, it is a relaxed and comfortable thing that she has never been with her father, like being in warm water, Every pore exudes warmth and laziness, so comfortable that she just wants to rely on him.

"Xiao'er, have you forgotten the third brother?" A little aggrieved and looking at his sister with some flattery, even if Li Chenghuan is usually lawless, he can only raise his hand and surrender to Taoyao: "Third brother can play with you...... "Why do you have to pick Gao Xianzhi, this kid, he will definitely not admit that he is jealous."

"Third brother...... shouted in a long tone, Tao Yao has always coaxed and deceived this youngest brother: "Didn't you promise your father to study hard, why am I embarrassed to disturb you?" ”

"......" probably didn't want to bother her at all. Li Chengyu slandered, but there was really no way to think about it, as a brother to do his part, I really don't know what words can be used to describe it except the word failure.

"Okay, Huai Jin hasn't spoken yet, you ...... one by one" Looking at his younger brothers and sisters with a smile, Li Chenghong still didn't forget to ask Gao Xianzhi what he meant: "Huai Jin, you see ......"

"Since the children have said so, it is better to be respectful than to obey their fate." There was a warm smile on the handsome face, and Gao Xianzhi always looked at the small red figure with gentle eyes, as if she would agree to whatever she asked.

In fact, it is no wonder that he is really too simple in the personnel structure of the General's Mansion, and even more so, the military camp management mode of Gao Sheji is clear soup and little water everywhere he goes, which is strict and boring. It's rare that the little girl in front of him gets along so well with him, not to mention just taking some time to teach her to read, even if he asks him to go to the sky to pick stars, he probably won't have a second word.

"Okay, that's it." Anyway, he was happy to see this matter come to fruition, Li Chenghong naturally agreed, and was thinking that he could almost retire after success, when he saw the housekeeper in the house sweating profusely in this direction, and he hurriedly spoke out from afar: "A few sons, the holy decree of the divine capital has arrived, and the prince asked you and the little county lord to go to the front hall to receive the decree quickly!" ”
