Chapter 224: The Big Family
Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather Xiao Zhen's family, grandmother Ruan Yulan and third uncle Xiao Zhengguang's family are all rich and noble idlers, and at this time, they have already gathered in the main hall of Daoxiang Courtyard.
For a long time, Xiao Zhen's family has always valued Xiao Qiongzhi's family, and they have to boast about it every time they meet, and they are not very interested in Xiao Qiongzhi's third uncle Xiao Zhengguang's family, and they have to approve a batch every time they meet.
And Xiao Qiongzhi's grandmother is the opposite, she dotes on Xiao Zhengguang's family very much, and she has to praise every time she meets, but she doesn't like Xiao Qiongzhi's family anywhere, and every time she meets, she always has to approve a batch.
As a result, the incident must eventually evolve into Xiao Zhengguang and Ruan Yulan quarreling, and Xiao Zhengzhen and Xiao Zhengguang both pleaded guilty.
After so many years, Xiao Qiongzhi has long been used to it, this kind of drama that almost has to be staged one or two rounds every day, a little tired, and there is no motivation to play with them.
After seeing them, Xiao Qiongzhi specially followed closely behind Chen Lingfeng, saluting and greeting in a proper manner, not giving grandpa a chance to praise or find fault with grandma.
It's a pity that in the past, Xiao Zhenjia and Ruan Yulan praised and picked the wrong objects in their own family, and Xiao Zhengzhen and Xiao Jinjia were the first choice, but today they didn't come over because of something, and Xiao Zhenjia and Ruan Yulan focused the focus of the struggle on her very consistently.
After Xiao Zhen's family finished greeting Xiao Zhengguang's family, she looked at her very lovingly and praised her loudly: "Haha, our family branches, it is really getting more and more regular, this posture of looking at the nose, nose and heart, and not moving like a mountain is quite a bit of the demeanor of the mother's world!" ”
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhengguang's daughter Xiao Susu on the side, and criticized harshly: "Su girl, when you just saluted your aunt, your eyes were dripping and wandering, like a puppy wagging his tail, it is too unruly, learn more from Zhi'er in the future!" ”
"Grandpa, I'm ......" Xiao Susu wanted to say but stopped.
Her gaze didn't wander at all.
Moreover, she usually has a very good relationship with Xiao Qiongzhi's sisters, in the past, Xiao Zhen's family used Xiao Zhengzhen and Xiao Jinjia to attack her father, but today she suddenly changed objects, and she was still a little uncomfortable.
Ruan Yulan immediately glanced at her with pity, turned her head and asked Xiao Qiongzhi coldly: "Girl Zhi, when you salute me, you look at me with a straight eye and don't smile, just like facing an old lady from a stranger's house, do you have any resentment against me in your heart?" ”
"No, I just want to get grandma's attention, look at me more, hehehe." Xiao Qiongzhi smiled sincerely.
Just kidding, as a high-level female white-collar worker who has been fighting for many years in the modern workplace, it is impossible to lose to an old lady who can only stay in the inner house and play house fights.
"Hmph, don't admit it yet! You've grown so big, if you didn't have a grudge against me in your heart, why didn't you think of getting my attention until today? Ruan Yulan's brain circuit is limited, stunned for a moment, and continues to criticize.
"Because I wasn't enlightened before, I'm enlightened today." Xiao Qiongzhi bullied her for being uneducated, calm and relaxed, and coping with it easily.
"You ......" Ruan Yulan couldn't answer.
She is indeed uneducated, from a poor background, and she can't read a word.
At the beginning, it was because her father was a soldier under Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather, and he had sacrificed his life to save Xiao Xuanliang's life, so she was hired by Xiao Xuanliang to Xiao Zhen's family as his wife in the name of repaying his kindness.
After she got married, in order to hide her clumsiness, she usually didn't go out of the door, and she didn't step out of the second door, and she was very knowledgeable, not to mention that she didn't understand what enlightenment meant at all, and even the word "enlightenment" was the first time I heard it today.
"What are you? Don't think that Your Majesty has been protecting you, you really take yourself seriously. If it weren't for your stomach fighting and giving birth to Guang'er, I would have divorced you illiterate and illiterate idiot a long time ago. ”
"Wait until you finish eating, you hurry up and go to the female gentleman I picked for you, and ask me what enlightenment means, so as not to come home as a guest, when you say this word, you can only stare dryly like in front of your granddaughter, and lose the face of my prince's mansion!" Xiao Zhenjia seized the opportunity and ruthlessly defeated Ruan Yulan's army.
Ruan Yulan didn't dare to argue, so she had to come up with an old trick that was used N times: "Woo woo, I know that you have always disliked my background and disliked me for being stupid!" ”
"Now that my sons and daughters have grown up, you still dislike me, and you have the ability to teach me to read and write patiently, or divorce me, and by the way, let my sons and grandchildren change their surnames to my surname, and leave with me!"
"Mother, don't cry, look at what you are talking about, dad is a knife mouth and a tofu heart."
"If he really dislikes your background and dislikes you for being stupid, can he still take care of your relatives over there so much over the years? Can you specially invite a female gentleman to teach you literacy every year? Xiao Qiongzhi's third uncle, Xiao Zhengguang, followed Ruan Yulan's old tricks and followed the old routine, and immediately persuaded with a smile.
"Yes, mother, it's all our fault, we didn't train the children well, we made you and your father angry, we are here to compensate you!" did a full set of plays, Chen Lingfeng and Xiao Zhengguang's wife Zheng Xiangyan hurriedly persuaded in unison.
Ruan Yulan immediately climbed along the pole: "It's good that you know!" ”
"Actually, Xiao Zhengzhen and you are really critical of your children, and it is also for the sake of the children, so that they can concentrate more, how can there be smooth sailing in this world, how can there be no fault at all, and when everyone can see it!"
"Well, this passage is more precipitated, worthy of my wife!" Xiao Zhen's family was immediately moved, turned anger into joy, and praised from the bottom of his heart.
So, a farce ended perfectly, and everyone happily entered the palace to greet Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather Xiao Xuanliang and his wife's grandfather Xiao Han and share dinner.
Xiao Xuanliang is seventy-three years old this year, but his spirit is still very strong.
He is the cousin of Jiang Yi, the founding emperor of Dongxingguo, who was laid down by him and Jiang Yi, and has a pivotal position and a highly respected reputation in Dongxingguo.
Before he ascended the throne, it may be because of the strength of his desire to control power and prestige because of the strength of his desire to control power and prestige because of his grandfather Xiao Qiongzhi, and his performance in the country of Great Xiao has always been particularly low-key.
This is also the main reason why this line of his family has survived intact to this day.
As for Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather Xiao Zhen's family, on the contrary to him, as a prince at that time, not only was he not self-motivated, but he also indulged in sensuality, and often made big and small things that would make trouble, causing him to help rub his ass every year.
Over time, his reputation was still greatly damaged because of his lack of godson.
Fortunately, the current Emperor Taishang, the emperor Xiao Han at that time, has always been very considerate of him.
No matter how Wei Feng, who was a national teacher at the time, had nothing to do with his godson, his status as the prince has always been stable, and the status of the son of the Xiao Zhen family has also been stable.
Even, even before Xiao Qiongzhi went to Zhoujia Village, because his brothers and nephews were persecuted by Wei Feng and suppressed by Xiao Han, he finally couldn't bear to lead Xiao Zhengzhen and impeach Xiao Han and Wei Feng in public.
It was Xiao Zhengzhen, because of this incident, he was angered by Xiao Han and ordered the whole family to be exiled to the border pass.
As a result, Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng, because they were worried that Wei Feng would secretly persecute them on the way to exile, so they had to arrange Zheng Bang to escort Xiao Qiongzhi and Chu Yunniang to flee to Chu State together.
