Chapter 55: Tell the Truth
Xiao Yuan made a good grimace: "Third brother, are you going to beat me?" Hey? Do you still want to be punished by your father and grandmother? β
Xiao Jianshi's face turned red: "Little Shi, you still dare to mention that matter!" β
Last time, he was forced to compensate a palace maid, but he was laughed at when he went out, and his face was lost!
That is, he is generous, for the sake of Xiao Yuan's good Wenqu Xing, he didn't have the same knowledge as this stinky girl.
Unexpectedly, this stinky girl is still addicted!
Xiao Yuan is good so that he is not afraid of Xiao Jianshi.
Xiao Jianshi has no heart, likes and dislikes are on his face, and the two of them don't know each other. After a fight, the relationship is better than that of other brothers and sisters.
"Third brother, you should actually thank me. Haven't you noticed that your reputation has gotten a lot better since I asked you to apologize to Susu? β
Xiao Jianshi was stunned, it seemed that it was.
Thinking about the past, the second child studied martial arts with him, and his martial arts were on par with him, but those literati liked the second child and looked down on him.
The literati and doctors said that he was rude and rude, and since he had compensated a palace maid, the scholars and doctors had been willing to talk to him gently when they saw him.
Xiao Jianshi was suspicious, is all this really related to him and a palace maid?
He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Xiao Shi, you call out a girl of yours again, I'll beat her up, and then give her a compensation, I'll see if my reputation can be better." β
Xiao Yuan gave him a blank look: "You belong to a pig!" β
Xiao Jianshi scratched his head: "I belong to the sheep, and the sixth is a pig." β
Xiao Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked straight into the hall, and dragged the eldest son Xiao Jianning out: "Big brother, come here, I have something to say to you." β
When the two of them left the hall, Xiao Yuanhao asked Xiao Jianning with a serious face: "Big brother, do you like Sister Ruan of Anguo's family?" β
Xiao Jianning didn't expect Xiao Yuan to ask this, and was caught off guard and turned red: "Ah Hao, what are you asking for?" β
"Oh, how are you mother-in-law! Just say if you like Sister Ruan or not, if you really like Sister Ruan, then you have to hurry, Uncle Wang also likes Sister Ruan. β
"Huh?" The charming thoughts in Xiao Jianning's heart faded cleanly, "How do you know that Uncle Wang also likes it?" β
"You don't care how I know."
Xiao Yuan broke his chubby paws to analyze the current situation for Xiao Jianning: "Uncle Wang and you both like Sister Ruan, but big brother, you have a bigger advantage." First, Sister Ruan rejected Uncle Wang in public. β
"Second, Mrs. Cuiwei and her uncle and grandmother don't like Sister Ruan."
"Third, big brother, you haven't pursued Sister Ruan yet. At least I didn't show my heart to Sister Ruan. β
Xiao Jianning was stunned: "I didn't show my heart, but it was also an advantage?" β
"Of course, what if you reveal a little bit of your mind and are rejected by her in public?"
was confined to Wanfu Palace for nearly two months and couldn't go anywhere, so Xiao Yuanhao survived by idle gossip.
Xianxian had already inquired about Ruan Jiayi's details clearly.
This girl from the Anguo family is amazing, she was originally Emperor Wen, that is, Xiao Yuanhao's grandfather, and the princess concubine who was prepared for the princess in private, and she will be crowned queen in the future.
Although it has not been made public, the nobles of Yujing City know it.
It's a pity that the life of the prince is not good, when he was two years old, his parents died of illness one after another, and when he was ten years old, he died again.
Ruan Jiayi is still a babbling little Lori, so she has no fiancΓ©.
This Ruan girl's own life is similar to that of Wang Taisun, she went north with her parents in her infancy and encountered pirates, Ruan's father and Ruan's mother were killed, and only Ruan Jiayi survived.
Together, the noble ladies of Yujing City are reluctant to marry Ruan Jiayi for their sons.
Ruan Jiayi also has a strong temperament and is very arrogant. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but rarely interacts with her peers, and once said that she will not marry in this life, so she will rely on serving her grandfather at home.
But her grandfather An Guogong was not happy.
As soon as Ruan Jiayi arrived, An Guogong asked people to search for young talents in the capital, as long as the family background is good and the character is good, even if he looks pockmarked with a pockmarked face, he doesn't mind.
According to reliable information from idle inquiring, Ruan Jiayi rejected Xiao Zhenting in public, and An Guogong was so angry that when he went home that night, he smashed the two large vases in the study, and also drove away several slaves at home.
Xiao Yuanhao didn't know where he got the news from, but the gossip was quite interesting.
In short, if Xiao Jianning really likes Ruan Jiayi, he has to hurry up and fight for it now.
Otherwise, in case Fu Anjun and his wife plus Mrs. Cuiwei all nodded and really married Xiao Zhenting to Ruan Jiayi, where would Xiao Jianning cry?
Xiao Yuan didn't want his family to make a fuss about a girl, and he didn't want Xiao Jianning to suffer.
Although she felt that Xiao Jianning and the sixth son Xiao Jianyi were too close, which was a bit weird, Xiao Jianning's relationship with her was much closer than Xiao Zhenting.
At this time, who does not help his brother help?
"Big brother, you are right to listen to me, grandmother may call you for questioning in a while, and you generously admit that you like Sister Ruan. Grandmother has always liked you and will definitely make decisions for you. β
Xiao Jianning nodded, he untied the purse from his waist and handed it to Xiao Yuan: "Here is the dim sum I bought from outside, and I can't eat it in the palace." You take it and eat it, and don't give it to others. I heard that you have started to study the Analects, so learn from Mr. Chu. You don't have to write too quickly, be careful of hurting your wrists. β
He chattered a lot, just like Xiao Yuan's good father: "Miss Ruan's affairs, don't inquire about it in the future." Be careful to let your father know that he is angry. β
Xiao Yuan put away the purse and told Xiao Jianning again, until Xiao Jianning repeatedly promised that he would tell the Empress Dowager Xu truthfully, and then he left with the purse satisfied.
When she returned to the side hall, she poured out the snacks in her purse and ate a few pieces.
I don't know where Xiao Jianning bought the small snacks, anyway, I gave her a purse every now and then, and it was delicious.
Xiao Yuanhao gave Su Su Chuchu and a few of them at first, but later found that it was not enough for her to eat, so she simply didn't give anyone it.
The dim sum that Xiao Jianning sent this time tasted even better than the last time, if it wasn't for dinner soon, Xiao Yuan really wanted to eat it all in one go.
The sons wiped the floor of the main hall clean, and the Empress Dowager Xu was also angry, leaving them for dinner.
After the meal, the eldest prince Xiao Jianning was left alone.
"A-Ning, you are a good boy, you can't hide anything from your grandmother. It's almost time for you to start a family. Grandmother asks you, do you have a favorite in mind? β
Xiao Jianning smiled humbly and gently: "Grandmother, grandchildren, everything is arranged by grandmother and father. β
Empress Dowager Xu seemed to be relieved, and knew that Ah Hao's little girl was talking nonsense, she was a little old child, what could she see.
That Ruan Jiayi's life is not good, Ke's father and mother Kefu, her life is so hard, she can't hold it down if she marries.
Empress Dowager Xu smiled sincerely: "You are the eldest son of your father, this marriage should be done early." Tomorrow, grandmother will go and consult with your father. β
Xiao Jianning got up to thank him, his face flushed, which made Empress Dowager Xu and Mama Jiang laugh.
He bowed his head shyly, but his eyes were calm.
What's the use of saying that he likes it, will Empress Dowager Xu marry him?
Even if the Queen Mother agrees, the father will not agree.
Even so, it doesn't matter if you say it or not.
