"Explain? I don't listen to your explanations! Now that you have grown up, you have more ideas, and your thoughts are deeper, so you don't take my words as an old woman to heart, you are rich and prosperous, but you have lost those good qualities! If you are an official like this, I'd rather you be a cook! ”

Ma Shi threw the shoes on Xiao Xiao's body, and turned his face away, "What I am most tired of in my life is that you have abandoned this kind of chaos from beginning to end, and I want to put it aside in the early years, if I don't kick you to death, you look stronger than others!" ”

Holding one of Ma's shoes, he was secretly relieved to see that his grandmother finally stopped beating him.

"Grandma, you are angry, this time it is a play deliberately performed by me and Sister Yi."

"Intentional again?" Ma Shi was a little stunned when he heard this.

Xiao Xiao nodded, and said in a low voice: "Too many things have happened in the past two days, and the Holy Lord set up a bureau to harm me, but it was Sister Yi who helped me think of countermeasures to let me survive the catastrophe in peace, not only did I not have any losses, but I also smoothly entered the cabinet and became a scholar of the Yingwu Palace." I have both respect and pity for her in my heart, where will I abandon her? It's just that something happened to her family......"

The Qin family was kidnapped, and the bandits took Qin Huaiyuan and his wife hostage to force the Qin family to send Qin Yining to the palace for the draft.

Yao Shi and Yao Chenggu both had heavy faces when they heard this, they had always been thoughtful, and they had vaguely guessed some clues.

"It's ...... Alas! What is this called? Ma almost beat his chest.

A good granddaughter-in-law, not to mention her outstanding character, she has to be liked by the owl, and more importantly, she is smart and filial, she is really pleasing to the eye, who would have thought that such a thing would happen!

"Sister Yi'er is a good boy and knows how to think about the family." After being silent for a long time, Yao touched the shoulders and arms that were beaten, "Don't be too sad, that's no way, Sister Yi'er has her own troubles, you can't help but think about the overall situation, Dafu, let go of what you should let go." ”

Although he knew that his mother had good intentions, when he heard Yao say this, Xiao Xiao's heart was still panicked.

"Mother, this won't end between us." Xiao Xiao said very definitely.

Yao Shi said in astonishment: "Don't be obsessed, with Sister Yi'er's appearance and character, as long as you run for the election, it is inevitable to be selected, if the saint likes her, do you still plan to be angry at the crown?" You don't want to die! ”

Yao Chenggu also thought of this layer, and he didn't have the heart to smoke cigarettes.

Ma said: "If you really have the courage to be angry at the crown, you are also a good man!" ”

"Mother!"

"it!"

Yao Chenggu and Yao were stunned, and they raised their voices in unison.

Ma Shi looked at Xiao Xiao, then at the fox-like grandfather, and sighed: "You two are thoughtful, worrying a lot, and thinking a lot, but people live a lifetime, don't you just live freely?" If I had been as concerned about gains and losses as you did, I would have lived with you, a poor boy with no skills? ”

Yao Chenggu touched his nose and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it because you love to eat the dishes I make?" ”

Ma slapped the table, and the cups were shaken, "If I am with a dignitary, how many delicacies from the mountains and seas will I not be able to eat?" ”

Ma Shi grabbed Xiao Xiao's collar and said, "Don't be like them, worry about this, worry about that, what else can you do?" ”

Holding the placket of the owl's clothes and letting him sit on the edge of the kang, Ma said earnestly: "The time of a person's life, do you think it is very long?" In fact, it's gone in the blink of an eye! Take advantage of the heart and strength now, go for what you like, and do your best to do whatever you want! ”

"You don't have to worry about me and your grandfather, let alone your mother, anyway, we are also mud legs, it's a big deal to start everything from scratch, go back to farming and it's easy, how to live is not alive, but you just remember one thing, the best hunters are the ones who know how to grasp the timing the most, you can't use brute force, remember?"

Listening to Ma's words, Xiao Xiao was really touched in his heart.

Ma's reasoning may not be understood by the mind of a scrupler. However, the smarter the person, the more comprehensive he thinks, and he is often limited by superfluous conditions. It's not as chic and happy as Ma's.

Since following Li Qitian to fight the world, he has gradually learned to show people with a mask, talk about people when he sees people, talk about ghosts, in order to climb to the peak step by step, and in order to protect himself, every thing he does has to go through careful pondering, which is why he has his current status.

For a person like him, who has always been self-disciplined and suppressed himself, what is lacking is the pleasure of Ma's.

Xiao Xiao's eyes were shining, and he nodded vigorously: "Grandma, I understand what you mean." Sister Yi actually went out like this on purpose this time, in order to solve the draft matter. ”

"Oh?" Ma asked: "What can she do with a girl's family?" ”

"It's not easy for me to come out of this matter, and because of the relationship between the saints, I can only be silent. So the first bird has to be done by Sister Yi'er. ”

Xiao Xiao sighed and shook his head, "In short, no matter what news you hear, don't worry about Ming'er, Sister Yi and I have a good relationship, and everything we do now is for the two of us to be able to come together in the future." ”

Ma nodded, thinking that his granddaughter-in-law didn't have to be replaced, he felt a lot more ironing in his heart.

Yao Chenggu and Yao Shi thought a lot at once, but they just looked at Xiao Xiao's appearance, and neither of them said anything.

It's just that both father and daughter feel that things won't end so easily, and Qin Yining must do something big if he wants to push off the draft openly and not serve the holy driver.

And things turned out just as they expected.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yao was talking with Ma, and a little girl on the second door hurriedly rushed in and replied: "Mrs. Tai, old lady, something is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong? Panicked. Yao frowned.

The little girl said anxiously: "The young lady of the Qin family went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to sue the prince, because the matter is big, and the prince is noble, Shuntian Mansion did not accept it, and that Miss Qin actually went to knock on the drum to sue the emperor!" ”

"What?" Ma's mouth was wide open.

Even if Xiao Xiao had already told her yesterday that "don't worry about whatever news you hear", but things are going to be in front of the saint, so where is the trivial matter?

"What the hell does this girl think? Our family has only entered the cabinet now, and the situation is just a little better, and it's too late to hide from things, why do you still run to make trouble? ”

Yao was much calmer than Ma's, holding Ma's hand and saying, "Mother, don't worry. ”

Then he instructed the maidservant, "Look where the old lady is, let the old lady come back as soon as possible, and the prince can be in the house now?" If he is, call him also and go quickly. ”

"Yes."

The maids also knew that the matter was serious, and hurried to find someone.

It didn't take long for Yao Chenggu to come back.

But Xiao Xiao was not at home, saying that he had just been introduced to the palace by the Holy Lord!

"Hurry up and invite Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie to come." Yao was also anxious at this time.

Yao Chenggu was smoking a cigarette from the old god, and said, "You all be calm and don't be impatient, you will be fine." ”

"You dead old man, you're still smoking after all this. Pump, choke! Ma doesn't like Yao Chenggu to smoke on weekdays, but he has never restrained him, today he was really too anxious, and he snatched the brass cigarette bag and pot in his excitement, and soaked the tobacco he had just lit in the tea bowl.

"Oops, you! Alas! Yao Chenggu couldn't save it, stretched his neck to look at the baby smoke that had extinguished the fire in the tea soup, and still didn't dare to revive his husband after all.

"Say, what's going on? Confused me. Yi Yatou went to sue our family Dafu, last night Dafu was full of confidence and said that Yi Yatou was for their future, but didn't she take the initiative to stretch her face to the saint. ”

Yao Chenggu said sullenly: "You can't figure this out? Let me ask you, how did Yi Ya come to our house? ”

"Isn't it just that day when the great fortune was brought back...... No, it is said to the outside world that Daifuku robbed Yi Yatou back. ”

"That's the end of it. Dafu snatched Yi Yatou back, although the two of them were innocent, but what the people outside said was not necessarily. Yi Yatou takes advantage of this, where can the draft woman have a stain? Isn't that unfaithfulness to the Holy One? ”

"Huh?" Ma Shi said in astonishment: "But, but in that case, the reputation of the girl can be ......."

Yao Chenggu slowly rescued the cigarette pouch and pot from the tea bowl, and gently wiped the baby's cloth.

"Since she arrived in Kyoto and was brought back by our family's great fortune, the so-called boudoir reputation has probably been put aside. It is a good thing for the girl to go to the saint to sue our family for a great fortune, in my opinion, not only can she give her a straight body, but also let the saint see with his own eyes that the Qin family and our family are not in harmony, and can also give the saint a handle of our family's great blessing, so that he can use people with more confidence. ”

"What the old lady said is very true." Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue, who were brought in by Yao's henchmen, walked to the door just in time to hear Yao Chenggu's analysis, and they both admired it, "That's indeed the truth." ”

The two men came near to salute.

Yao Chenggu and Ma Shi did not hold it up, and politely ordered someone to set up the chair for refreshments, and politely invited the two to sit down.

Ma Shi sighed: "The two gentlemen are smiling, and I am also anxious about the safety of the prince." Things in the court are complicated, and I don't know so much about a woman, so I just want to ask the two gentlemen, is it okay for the prince to do this? ”

Xu Weizhi stood up and bowed, and said, "Mrs. Hui, whether this matter is successful or not depends on Miss Qin's performance in front of the saint. If he behaves well, not only will the prince be okay this time, but he will also make the saint greatly relax his vigilance. Although it is a joke for outsiders, it is not harmful to the prince. ”

"Really?" Ma couldn't help but worry about Qin Yining again, "That girl is still young, and I don't know if I can hold my breath." ”

When the family was gathering together and waiting anxiously, Qin Yining had been personally brought into the palace by Li Guanwen, the great eunuch beside Li Qitian.

This is the first time Qin Yining entered the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this palace is based on the original palace of the Northern Hebei Kingdom renovated, simple and magnificent, but also revealed the unique luxury and majesty of the royal family.

Qin Yi hung his head calmly, followed Li Guanwen's footsteps without squinting, and arrived at the imperial study in a short time.
