Chapter 12: Out of the limelight

There are many tea stalls in the capital, and it is inevitable that the recent events in the capital will be used as a talking point at the tea stalls.

What is it, the two of them quarreled again yesterday, and beat them into the street with sticks.

Either someone married and took a concubine back home, making the family restless and clamoring for reconciliation.

Otherwise, we can discuss the new law just issued by the imperial court, and remind each other, so as not to forget that the new law has just been issued, and if you touch the law, you have to go to prison for two days.

"Did you hear that? Jintai Temple, the Buddhist beads worn by the former presiding officer before his death were lost! ”

"Who told you that you lost it, didn't you find it later?"

"Not only did I find it, but I heard from my family that at that time, the little grandfather of the Wei State Mansion and the little prince of the Anrong Marquis Mansion beat the thief and directly picked it up and threw it on the ground."

The tea guest who had been listening to the discussion of several people on the side couldn't help but interject, "You have only said half of it, if you want me to say, it is still the nine girls of the Zhenxi General's Mansion who are out of the limelight, and I can't imagine that a daughter's family is so powerful in talking, and she directly talks about the thief so much that she doesn't even have the power to fight back." ”

"Yo, if you want to talk about these nine girls, then I have to talk about it, that day, my mother-in-law sat at the table next to her, close, the nine girls were so courageous, after finishing speaking, she returned to her seat without changing her face and ate two bowls of rice raw!"

The man gestured with his hand to the size of the bowl, "But such a big bowl, can you think of it?" ”

Glancing at the size of the bowl that the man gestured to, everyone was silent.

This bowl is really not small.

Zhenxi General's Mansion, I didn't know that I had become the street and alley, and Xiao Yunmu, who was talking after tea and dinner, was sitting there, holding a book in his hand and holding a swing rope, so uncomfortable enjoying the shade.

Since he came back from Jintai Temple, the Song family has not looked for their own troubles, and there is nothing else, even Sheng Jingnian is like a missing person, he doesn't send things or ask someone to pass on the news, Xiao Yunmu has lived a few days like a fairy.

Chunyue was standing next to her with a plate of freshly chilled grapes, and when she saw Xiao Yunmu dangling the rope back and forth, she couldn't help but smile.

"Girlβ€”"

"Well, don't say it yet, I know what you're going to say, but it's rare to have a day like this, don't say anything that spoils your fun."

"But the little grandfather obviously helped a lot that day-"

Help? It is obvious that Sheng Jingnian connived at the thief to put the Buddha beads on himself, and sat back and ignored the later things.

Sheng Jingnian's thoughts, she only understands now, but it's really despicable!

In order to find out her bottom, she almost became a thief in the eyes of everyone, even if she helped her later, it couldn't make up for the damage she suffered!

Injuries are irreversible.

"You don't understand, if you do, you don't need me to explain it to you."

Chunyue pursed her lips when she heard this, she really didn't understand, if she did, then she wouldn't ask.

Seeing Chunyue pouting, Xiao Yunmu stood up, reached out and took a grape and stuffed it into her mouth, "Okay, what are you angry about?" Are you angry with me or with someone else? ”

"But girl, you-"

"I've been so busy at home for the past two days, and then I heard that I have a sister who is comparable to Bao Gong's ability to judge cases, how come I don't know what I'm talking about, I only know that I can't get along with others all day, and the sister who is dedicated to protecting the little grandfather has this ability?"

Xiao Yunmu turned around in surprise when he heard this, directly stuffed the book in his hand into Chunyue's hand, and trotted to Xiao Jing'an's side, "Big brother, when did you come back?" What about sister-in-law and metawords? ”

"Coax Yuanci to take a nap, and come back later."

"Just now I wanted to go over to play with the meta words, he took a nap, then forget it." Xiao Yunmu pulled Xiao Jing'an to sit down, poured Xiao Jing'an a cup of tea with extra kindness, and looked at the spring moon that was still standing.

Chunyue came back to her senses after a pause, and immediately put the grapes on the table, "Young Master, there are still snacks in the house, I'll go get them." ”

"Big brother, are you thirsty?"

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief."

"Nothing."

Let Xiao Jingan poke his mind, Xiao Yunmu scratched his head embarrassedly.

In fact, it's not that she was punctured, it's just that she has been bored in the house for several days, saying that, she just wants to live with the people she cares about, but she is afraid, afraid that the wedding date will really be set, but she will really marry Sheng Jingnian.

Marrying Sheng Jingnian is no benefit or harm to her, and she would rather die alone than marry Sheng Jingnian.

"Something to do with the little grandfather?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yunmu nodded and blinked, "I guess my sister-in-law also told you about what happened in Jintai Temple that day, and after that day, I realized that a person with dull qualifications like me is really not worthy of a dragon and phoenix like my little grandfather." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jing'an raised his eyebrows, "What?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm stupid. ”

"And?"

"The little grandfather is a dragon and a phoenix."

Xiao Yunmu paused after speaking, "Big brother! You help me and go to ask my grandfather for a favor, so I said, this family business, is it okay to be invalidated? Since the Queen Mother has agreedβ€”"

"Nonsense."

Xiao Jingan looked at Xiao Yunmu and put down the cup in his hand.

It is easy to give a marriage, but it is difficult to withdraw from it.

As soon as Chrysostom is opened, how can it be indiscriminately invalidated like child's play, is it child's play to give marriage? Whether the eldest princess of Jinyang in the Wei Mansion doesn't like Xiao Yunmu anymore, this family affair is a certainty.

Even the eldest princess of Jinyang can't disobey the queen mother's will, and the old lady Xiao goes back on her word, isn't it trapping the entire general's mansion unjustly!

Xiao Yunmu was stunned, frightened, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

She's just, she just doesn't want toβ€”

"Another day when you were in the limelight in Jintai Temple, do you really think Sheng Jingnian is a fool, can't you see how many catties and taels you have? It's okay if you don't show off, you are in the limelight, and everyone in the capital knows about it, and the streets and alleys are discussing this, do you really think-"

"What?"

Is there a lot of trouble in the city?

Sitting down with a dead face, Xiao Yunmu's head was in a mess, he could only hear this sentence, and the rest couldn't listen to it at all.

Now it's true, there's no room for manoeuvre.

Staring at Xiao Yunmu, Xiao Jing'an sighed lightly, "The little grandfather is still protecting you, at least stand up when you are wronged and stop the development of things, otherwise, I think you should really kneel in front of the ancestral tablet!" ”

Glancing at Xiao Jing'an with a wry smile, Xiao Yunmu lay on the table and whimpered quietly.

This family business really wants to push her into the fire pit.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Didn't you look forward to getting married as soon as possible? Why did the spring banquet fall into the water, but when I saw the prosperous year, I changed my mind and decided not to marry? Xiao Jingan said: "At the spring banquet, the little grandfather embarrassed you?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Never. ”

"Then the little grandfather embarrassed you in Jintai Temple?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Nor never. ”

"So what are you afraid of? There is only one of our peers in the Wei Mansion, and there are no brothers and sisters, if you marry, you don't have to worry about the relationship between concubines, at most you are serving carefully in front of the eldest princess. ”

What's it!

What is the origin and scheming of the eldest princess of Jinyang? That's the people who came out of the palace, and there are many ways to make life worse than death, and there is nowhere to say about injustice.

Coupled with a scheming and ruthless prosperous year, does she still have a life to live?

She didn't want to be the abandoned woman in the book who was left behind and went crazy and suffered a lot, and she had to cut off all possibilities at the beginning.

"Young master, the eldest son of the Lu family is here."

"Zhibai?"

"I've been so busy for the past two days that I haven't seen you, but I can be regarded as seeing you."

Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, and Xiao Yunmu knew that the person who came must have an extraordinary relationship with Xiao Jing'an, at least, closer than Sheng Jingnian.

Just thinking about who it was, he saw Xiao Jingan stand up and instructed the maid next to him, "Go and prepare hot tea." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Young master, there is only the cool one in the yard. ”

"Boil hot water."

Glaring at Xiao Yunmu, Xiao Jingan frowned, "Put less water, the water will boil faster." ”

"Yes."

Is it also her fault that she doesn't like to drink hot water? Xiao Yunmu felt that Xiao Jingan was not the warm-hearted big brother who visited her after she fell into the water before, this Lu Zhibai was actually more important than her in Xiao Jing'an's heart.

The sick seedlings of the Changting Marquis' Mansion.

"Why do you need to let the maid boil hot water, I'm much better."

"It is precisely because you are much sicker that you can't drink cold at this time, lest you fall ill again." Xiao Jing'an greeted Lu Zhibai and sat down, "Xiao Jiu, this girl is becoming more and more ignorant, a girl who doesn't even like to drink hot water, and she will only know the benefits when she is in bad health in the future." ”

"Big Brother ......"

Helplessly shouted Xiao Jing'an, "I just like to drink cold on weekdays, besides, it's really hot, and it relieves the heat." ”

Lu Zhibai nodded at Xiao Yunmu, "Ninth Sister looks a little thinner than a while ago, is it because she hasn't recovered from her illness after falling into the water?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yunmu was stunned and looked at Lu Zhibai.

The four words gentle and elegant are placed on Lu Zhibai, which is probably the most suitable.

It's not just the gentleness of the book, but the innate nobility.

The only difference between the Changting Marquis Mansion and the Anrong Marquis Mansion is that the Changting Marquis Mansion can be regarded as a clan, but it is a pity that the prosperity must decline, and when it comes to Lu Zhibai's generation, among the clan nobles in the capital, he is no longer favored.

Fortunately, the title is hereditary, and Lu Zhibai inherited the title and can enjoy food and clothing without worry.

Smiling at Lu Zhibai, Xiao Yunmu got up, "When the eldest brother talks to the eldest brother of the Lu family, I won't stay by the side, so as not to make the eldest brother think of me as an eyesore for a while." ”

"Sit down."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Big brother, I-"

Xiao Jing'an looked at Xiao Yunmu, "What I said to you last time, you turned a deaf ear?" ”

"Huh?"

What was said? How she doesn't remember.

Seeing Xiao Yunmu's confused look, Xiao Jingan was angry and funny, "When Zhibai came last time, he brought a painting, don't you want to learn to paint?" Who knew that after worshipping a good master, he didn't want to be an apprentice first, and he was bored at the beginning of his learning, and he hid when he saw Zhibai. ”

Hearing what Xiao Jing'an said, Xiao Yunmu remembered this.

Sitting down, Xiao Yunmu touched the tip of his nose.

"Ahem, I've said it all, I'm stupid and can't learn well, but-"

"On the way to the General's Mansion, I heard a lot of remarks made by the ninth sister in Jintai Temple two days ago, which made the thief speechless, how can he be stupid in his qualifications, put in more effort, with your cleverness, you can't learn what you want to learn." Lu Zhibai laughed, "Or are you afraid of me and don't want to see me so you don't want to learn?" ”

The smile was too warm for Xiao Yunmu to say no words of refusal.

Learning to draw?

Forget it, can't you learn?
