Chapter 160: Gift-giving (3)
Seeing that his son was no longer the same demeanor as he used to be, Xiao Yan sighed, "What are you doing badly?" Why do you want to get into such a dirty thing? Once you become addicted to these five stones, it is very difficult to quit. ”
Xiao Ao lay on the ground, trying to stand up, but after repeated efforts, he still only got up halfway and planted again, and after several repetitions, he finally failed. I had to straighten up a little and kowtow to Xiao Yan, "My son doesn't dare anymore, please forgive my father!" Please forgive my father. ”
Xiao Yan saw it in his eyes, a little unbearable, sighed heavily, didn't look over, and stood aside.
Xiao Chong came in, and his eyes wandered over this once proud grandson.
"Ao'er, grandfather knows that you are aggrieved in your heart, but you can't be so depraved." As he spoke, his eyes swept over the jade bottle that fell aside, and finally turned into a trace of disappointment and disappeared into the air. Reaching out and taking out a bunch of keys from his bosom, "You're looking for this!" ”
Xiao Ao slowly raised his head, saw the key dangling in mid-air, a little weakness flashed in his eyes, and he said unnaturally: "Grandson, I don't know what my grandfather is talking about?" ”
Before the words fell, a figure was pushed and fell to the ground by the guards in the palace.
"This is the attendant in your courtyard! has followed you since he was a child, and even the punches and kicks he knew were taught by you! ”
Xiao Ao was dumbfounded for a while, lowered his head and stopped talking.
"From now on, everything in the house that is suitable for size will be handed over to the second room to deal with! Since you are not in good health, you should rest! Xiao Chong's voice was like a thunderbolt, and it hit Xiao Ao's heart fiercely.
Xiao Yan was a little angry, and when he saw his father's firmness, he had to shut up.
Xiao Ao froze in place, and his grandfather's meaning was equivalent to releasing the power of the big house and handing over the burden of the future head of the family to the second house. In this way, the big house is completely cold.
After Xiao Chong finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Ao dissatisfiedly, turned around and walked out of the South Courtyard.
The attendant servant standing outside was shocked when he heard the words inside. This big house has been beautiful for many years, Xiao Yan has been in an important position in the court, and Xiao Ao is the leader of his grandson's generation, he was born with a golden spoon since he was a child, and he has been known as the head of the family since he was a child. In this way, I am afraid that I will be uncomfortable in every way.
Thinking that such an excellent talent since childhood has become what it is today, it can't help but make people sigh.
Hanxin sat on the roof, listening to Xiao Chong's words, only chuckled, raised the wine jug and drank two sips, the wine was strong, piercing, burning hot, driving away a few traces of chill for this silent night.
The family is like this, no matter what you have done for this family, people will only see you who are useless now. Who will remember your time, there is no one else but yourself.
The night was hazy and faltering.
"Ah Xin, you're drunk!"
Hanxin stretched out his hand and shook it, muttering, "Situ Lie, don't move, why do you keep shaking over and shaking over, I can see that my eyes are glazed." ”
Before the muttering words were finished, he couldn't stand the drunkenness, so he fell into Situ Lie's arms and snored.
Situ Lie stretched out his hand and gently stroked the cold green silk on his hair, a little loving, "It's almost over." ”
In the night, I saw two figures streak across the sky and disappear into the darkness.
There are a lot of sleepless people tonight.
In the palace, the guards placed a large bag of things in front of Ling Yan.
"Open!" Before Ling Yan's words fell, the little eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward and carefully dispersed the package.
Looking at things that were getting clearer and clearer, Ling Yan's anger was already burning wantonly, his eyes were slightly red, and he was a little panting.
I saw that in the huge burden, a golden dragon robe was displayed in it. The golden dragon soaring on the chest is lifelike, and the embroidery is exquisite, which can be called a masterpiece.
"Where did you find it?" Ling Yan's deep voice carried a little fierce murderous aura.
"Go back to the emperor. In the secret room of Old General Xiao. The dragon robe had been displayed on the shelf, spotless, and it took a lot of effort for Wei Chen to take the dragon robe off the shelf. ”
If it is said that General Xiao Yan and General Xia Qi of the Holy Heaven had a very close correspondence and were framed by others, Xia Qingxi heard the conversation between the two ministers as a false idea, and the clues he found were set up by others, then what is this golden dragon robe?
It's so beautifully made, and at first glance, it's a big deal, but can you think of any other reason than to really enshrine it as a treasure? Besides, in the Xiao family's secret room, who else can enter besides the head of the Xiao family. There are hundreds of hidden weapons inside, and outsiders have strayed into it, but I am afraid that they have already lost their lives.
"Spread my will, foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang will attack, let General Xiao Yan and the second general of the Xiao family lead all the troops and horses to suppress the enemy."
Early the next morning, Ling Yan's will had arrived at the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Yan was very surprised, but he didn't dare to resist the order, so he still accepted the order.
Since his birthday, Xiao Chong seems to have aged a lot overnight, and his drowsiness has become more and more serious. Many times, one sleep is the whole day, and waking up is not in good spirits.
In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Ao entered the main house in the name of worrying about his grandfather and coming to visit.
The sound of the wheelchair was too harsh, and the sleeping Xiao Chong slowly opened his eyes, only to see the grandson in the wheelchair taking the key to the warehouse into his arms.
"Ao'er, what are you doing?" Xiao Chong's hoarse voice came out, and Xiao Ao was startled. I didn't turn my head for a long time, and I couldn't see what the expression was.
Xiao Chong was about to speak, but he saw the man in the wheelchair suddenly turn around and insert the dagger in his cuff into his chest.
The footsteps outside became heavier and heavier, and the man in the wheelchair hurriedly drew back the dagger, picked up a stream of blood, and quickly threw it under the bed. He picked up the heaviest quilt and covered it firmly on the sleeping Xiao Chong.
When the maid came in, she only saw a picture of her father's kindness and filial piety, and it was inconvenient to disturb her, so she folded out again.
In the afternoon of this day, Hanxin was still having dinner, but he was disturbed by Wu Xu's hurried footsteps and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Even the usual stability has been lost. ”
Wu Xu heard the chilling words and slowed down his pace, "Back to Gongzi, Xiao Aogongzi of Xiao Mansion sent someone today to repay the 500,000 taels of gambling debts owed." ”
When Han Xin heard this, he only said calmly: "It is natural to repay debts, what is strange, besides, isn't it a good thing to pay off our casino!" ”
"Moreover, today, Xiao Mansion invited the most famous doctor in Longdu, saying that the old man Xiao Chong was not very happy, it was an old problem, and the imperial doctor had no choice, so he had to come to the countryside to find a miracle doctor."
Hanxin picked up the porridge again, took a big sip, and said vaguely: "Old General Xiao is eighty years old, and it is common for him to be weak, so what is there to doubt." ”
Wu Xu shook his head, "My subordinates have already sent someone to inquire, and the old man is not sick at all, but he was stabbed." Luckily, the knife was crooked. Otherwise, now Old Man Xiao has passed away in bliss. ”
