After Shen Mu went down, Sang Jiechen walked in again and reported to Shen Tu: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have heard that Sun Mingqian, the son of Sun Shilang, has gone to Yuwen Mansion several times to look for trouble. ”

"Sun Mingqian's courage is so big? Dare to provoke Yuwen to conquer himself? Shen Tuwen asked strangely.

"Sun Mingqian has always been Xiao Xu's dogleg," Sang Jiechen said truthfully: "Then Xiao Xu is now holding a funeral for his own mother, and it is inconvenient to come out to show off, so his doglegs naturally have to do things for him, it is said that it is to compete for a big beggar." ”

"Since Sun Mingqian is for Xiao Xu's business, even Xiao Xu doesn't dare to tear his face with Yuwen Zhengji," Shen Tuwen was very clear about this: "When did Xiao Xu become so capable?" ”

Speaking of that, after the little sin came to the mansion to help the cook, Yuwen Zhengji never came to the Zhaojing Mansion again.

"Lord Wang, don't laugh when you say it, it is said that this Xiao Xu dared to act so boldly and recklessly because of your strength, and even the doglegs under his command showed off their might, and even Yuwen Gongzi didn't take it seriously."

"Borrowed my momentum?" After hearing this, Shen Tuwen raised his eyebrows: "Why don't I know?" ”

"It's funny to say, because people in the city are rumored that Xiao Liuli is your destined princess, so Xiao Xu already regards himself as your uncle, and now it's just because he is mourning for his own mother, otherwise he doesn't know how to be arrogant."

"It seems that there are really people who take this thing seriously," Shen Tuwen smiled coldly: "It seems that I can't stay out of it too much!" ”

Prime Minister's Office.

It's time for dinner.

Prime Minister Xiao was invited by Yu Shangshu to watch the play, and the dinner was naturally not used in the house.

Here is the main mother, Mrs. Dou, with all the aunts and Xiao Liuli for dinner, Xiao Xu is not allowed to eat meat because he is at a funeral, so every meal is just a simple vegetarian food, which is sent to his room by a special person.

On this day, Xiao Liuli watched the maids set up their meals in the dining room of the big room, and then the servant who was waiting for Xiao Xu came over to say: "The eldest young master thinks his food is too vegetarian and refuses to eat it." asked the little ones to bring him meat, but the little ones didn't dare, so they came to ask the lady. ”

"It's not been past Sanqi for his mother to go, and she can't even endure this little hardship," Mrs. Dou shook her head angrily and said, "It's also everyone's son, how can you do this?" ”

"Mother, don't be angry," Xiao Liuli hurriedly said to comfort her mother: "I'll go over and take a look." ”

Mei Xiang naturally followed closely behind the young lady, the master and servant went out of the door of the big room, Xiao Liuli did not go directly to Xiao Xu's room, but turned around and went to the kitchen, and when she got there, the people in the kitchen hurriedly said, "What do you have to say about the eldest lady?" ”

Xiao Liuli said to them: "What are the vegetarian dishes that the eldest young master eats every day? Take it and I'll take a look. ”

Immediately, someone brought a copy of the vegetarian food made at night, Xiao Liuli looked at it and said, "This is also good, it's clean, what's not to eat?" ”

Saying that, he asked Mei Xiang to put all kinds of vegetarian food into the food box and carry it, and then walked to Xiao Xu's courtyard.

Before I could get to the door, I heard Xiao Xu complaining in the room: "What is this that eats me every day?!" It's tasteless, and it's about to fade out of people's mouths! ”

Xiao Liuli pushed the door in, only to see several servants kneeling on the ground, Xiao Xu was sitting there with a snort, and the food was thrown aside.

"Why don't you hurry up and pack up all these meals, and serve the young master carefully in the future, don't make him angry." Xiao Liuli said to the servant kneeling on the ground.

When Xiao Xu saw her coming, he immediately restrained his momentum, and he also knew that it was wrong for him to do this, especially in front of Xiao Liuli, he had never dared to make a mistake.

"Hurry up and move the chair for the eldest lady!" Xiao Xu shouted to the servant: "One or two have no rules, they usually spoil you, and one day I will loosen the skin for you." ”

"I'm not an outsider, why should my brother be so polite?" Xiao Liuli sat down as she spoke, and motioned for Mei Xiang to put the food on the table.

"Originally, I thought that my brother was in a sad mood during the funeral, and my sister was inconvenient to come over to disturb me," Xiao Liuli's expression was gentle when she said this, as if she really regarded Xiao Xu as her own brother: "But when I think about it, my brother is guarding here alone, and most of them are sad and sad, so my sister specially came over to have dinner with you." ”

When Xiao Xu heard her say this, he was naturally grateful in his heart, so he said: "It's rare that my sister thinks of me, and only my uncle and you treat me as a person in this house." ”

"Brother, don't be so arrogant, I think you are the eldest in our family, and your younger brothers and sisters will rely on you." Xiao Liuli smiled and said, "In the future, my sister will still have a lot of places for my brother to help." ”

When Xiao Xu heard Xiao Liuli say this, he couldn't help but feel proud, patted his chest and said: "Sister, don't worry, with your words, I will go to the soup and break my bones, and my brother will never take half a step back!" ”

"With my brother's words, my sister is relieved." Xiao Liuli said: "Although filial piety comes first, my brother still has to take care of his body. Rice had to be eaten at that time, but now the weather is cold, and it will be cold after a while, cold rice is harmful to the body, and my aunt is not here now, so my brother should take care of himself. ”

Hearing Xiao Liuli say this, Xiao Xu didn't have any sad emotions anymore, but at this time, his eyes were red, and he picked up his rice bowl and ate it in a big gulp.

Xiao Liuli also briefly accompanied Xiao Xu to eat a few bites, and then asked Mei Xiang to clean up the dishes and get up and leave.

Before leaving, he naturally told Xiao Xu a few more words, asking him to pay attention to his body.

Coming back from Xiao Xu's courtyard, Mei Xiang asked Xiao Liuli a little unhappily: "Miss, why are you so attentive to the eldest young master?" Although I shouldn't be a subordinate, but the eldest young master only knows how to have fun all day long, spending money like flowing water, and his reputation in the capital is not very good. Such a person will only affect you, Miss, and Miss will not draw a line with him, but will get close to him, what is the reason? ”

Xiao Liuli smiled and didn't say anything, just said, "You quickly send these plates and bowls back to the kitchen and tell them to clean up." ”

Mei Xiang pouted and went to the kitchen, and Xiao Liuli walked to Dou's main room alone.

Of course, she knew that Xiao Xu's reputation was very bad, but Prime Minister Xiao Cheng really spoiled him too much, spoiled him to lawlessness, and now that she wants to seek the position of Princess Zhaojing, she naturally can't let him be embarrassed outside, and the best way is to trap him in the mansion for the first year and a half.

Thinking about it, the mourning is the most in line with the national law and etiquette, not to mention that the Bai family itself is a stain that can never be eliminated by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is not a pity to die.
