Chapter 10 The Return of the Young Master

The eldest prince Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Lingxiao are siblings, not long after their mother Lu died, Xiao Ranjun was taken away by the third uncle Xiao Shumou, and he has not returned for so many years, so for Xiao Lingxiao and the rest of the Xiao family, this eldest prince is strange and mysterious. Xiao Lingxiao once regarded her eldest brother as her last spiritual support, and when she was most painful, she always fantasized that one day her eldest brother would come back and save her from the sea of suffering.

Although it was Xiao Lingxiao who had such fantasies in the past, for the current Xiao Lingxiao, she still hopes that her eldest brother can be different from the rest of the Xiao family. The entire Xiao family is now her enemy, if even this eldest brother is also their first dog, Xiao Lingxiao is really afraid that she will not be able to bear it and immediately destroy the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

In Xianglin Courtyard, among the old lady's inner hall, Xiao Lingxiao was the last to arrive. As soon as she walked through the door, she caught everyone's attention. And the person Xiao Lingxiao saw first made her surprised.

The handsome young man sitting in the guest seat was not Ye Fengming, who was knocked out by her in the deep forest not long ago! How did he end up here?

Just when Xiao Lingxiao was stunned, she heard someone laugh loudly in her ear, "Is this the eldest niece of the eldest brother's family?" Hahaha, Ran Jun, look, how beautiful your sister is! ”

Xiao Lingxiao's eyes turned to the person who spoke, and saw that the man seemed to be only in his twenties, with hosta hairpins, a strand of long hair hanging down on his forehead, very casual but not procrastinating, slender willow eyebrows, silkworms under his eyes, and natural drooping at the corners of his eyes, making this person seem to be smiling all the time.

And the man sitting next to him had already gotten up and walked towards Xiao Lingxiao at this time, he looked about the same age as Xiao Lingxiao, wearing a crow green gown and a moon-white robe, although he was as dusty as the man just now, but his eyes were very bright. At this time, his face was surprised and happy, and when he walked in front of Xiao Lingxiao, he stretched out his hands and hugged Xiao Lingxiao's thin body tightly, and seemed to be so happy that he completely forgot whether men and women were kissed or not, and said excitedly, "Are you Lingxiao?" See you at last! I'm your big brother! I'm your big brother! ”

Xiao Lingxiao was tightly held in her arms by a strange man like Xiao Ranjun, and she was a little disgusted at first, but when she heard the excitement and sincerity in his words, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly felt that this man was her relative, although she had never gotten along with him, but maybe he was her real relative.

A trace of emotion suddenly surged in her heart, and Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Xiao Ranjun heard Xiao Lingxiao's sigh, hurriedly let go of her, looked carefully, and then asked nervously, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao also looked at her eldest brother carefully, and then curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Lingxiao used to want to see her eldest brother, but seeing you today is a wish." ”

Xiao Ranjun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile, "I have been studying abroad with my third uncle for many years, and I often think of my sister. In the future, our brother and sister can be closer and closer, and the eldest brother has an interesting anecdote, and I will tell it to my sister slowly in the future, okay? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Lingxiao to nod, she heard the old lady sitting on the warm couch in the center speak, "Ran Jun, you just came back, and many things are still unclear. When you settle down, you should also hurry up and walk around with your father to learn about the people and things in the imperial city, and don't be too greedy. ”

Xiao Ranjun's face sank when he heard this, but he didn't let others see it, he turned around and nodded to the old lady with a smile, and said obediently, "What the old lady said is that Ran Jun will definitely work hard in the future and not let the old lady down." ”

At this time, a maid added a seat to Xiao Lingxiao behind the eldest lady, Xiao Lingxiao walked over to salute the eldest lady, and then sat down.

Xiao Ranjun also sat down again, because the old lady's words just now were obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Lingxiao, so the atmosphere in the room became much heavier. At this time, Xiao Lingxiao realized that the old lady seemed to be angry, and everyone in the room seemed to look at Ye Fengming who was sitting there quietly with strange eyes.

After a while, the old lady spoke, "Shumou, you make it clear what you just said, what is going on with this child. ”

The third old man, Xiao Shumou, was the man who was smiling just now, and when he heard the old lady ask, he calmly said that Ye Fengming was his son, and at the same time showed that no matter whether the old lady recognized this grandson or not, he and Ye Fengming didn't care.

The old lady couldn't help but jump twice when she heard this, Xiao Shumou and Xiao Shuyong are both her biological sons, and the eldest son Xiao Shuyong can be said to make her feel at ease everywhere, but this third Xiao Shumou is as if God specially stuffed her heart, not only is she dissolute and undisciplined, but there is nothing he does that is out of line. Back then, he took away Xiao Ranjun despite everyone's opposition, and today he finally returned his eldest grandson, and he actually brought back a child of unknown origin!

However, Xiao Shumou has such a temperament, which is known to the Xiao family, he is like a natural exoneration card, no matter what he committed, he can be entangled by him in the end. So even the old lady and Xiao Shuyong didn't bother to care about him anymore. If you have a son, you will have a son, anyway, he is a third room, and he has not achieved a big thing, and he can't delay anything.

Then Xiao Shumou asked people to bring out the things they brought back, among which there were a lot of exotic precious fabrics and precious jewelry, which made the ladies present salivate. After the old lady left a few pieces of quaint jewelry, the rest were divided among the others. The eldest lady was the first to choose, but she was embarrassed to take more, and she also followed the example of the old lady and chose one or two pieces of cloth and two or three pieces of jewelry. The second and fourth ladies took some of the same, and all that was left was fresh jewelry and brightly colored fabrics.

The young ladies present, in addition to Xiao Lingxiao in the big room, there are also Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue, who are born to the eldest lady, as well as the fourth lady Xiao Zechun and the fifth lady Xiao Zelu, both of whom are young ladies from the house, and their identities are naturally one level shorter. There is no daughter in the second room, and only one concubine in the fourth room is still in swaddling clothes, so these things are inseparable.

If it was placed in the past, Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue would naturally occupy all the good things, but in today's meeting, both of them know that they have an opponent, and that opponent is still Xiao Lingxiao, who was inferior to pigs and dogs in the past.

After the fourth lady finished picking out the things, the two gritted their teeth and didn't move, and the eldest lady smiled and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "Lingxiao, you go over and choose, these are all brought back by your eldest brother and third uncle from thousands of miles away, just take whatever you like." ”

Xiao Lingxiao didn't ignore the greedy eyes of the younger sisters behind her just now, although she didn't necessarily like these things very much, but since they all liked them, Xiao Lingxiao immediately decided that she would swallow all the things by herself, and she wouldn't leave them the same!

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingxiao said with a smile, "I see that everything that the eldest brother and third uncle get back is good, and they won't choose at all, so it's better for a few younger sisters to pick it first." The Naeongliuyuan where I live has just been burned down by a fire, so I just ask a few sisters to leave me a few pieces of cloth to make some clothes to cover my body. ”

When the eldest lady heard this, the blood on her face suddenly faded a lot, and Xiao Lingxiao's words clearly told everyone present that she had nothing now, even to the point of being unclothed. And Xiao Lingxiao was dressed simply at this time and did not wear jewelry, which just proved her words.

Seeing that the faces of the old lady and Xiao Shuyong also became ugly, the eldest lady gritted her teeth and said to Xiao Lingxiao with a smile, "Look, my mother has been so busy these days that she has forgotten about you moving to a new place. That's it, Ling Xiao, in my opinion, you don't have to choose any more of these things, you can take them back. Then I'll have people come over and take a look at everything you need to add to your house. ”

The eldest lady felt that Xiao Lingxiao would refrain a little, so that she could leave two more things for her two daughters. But she never thought that when Xiao Lingxiao heard her say this, she immediately nodded, "Since my mother has decided like this, then Lingxiao will be ashamed." If the younger sisters have taken a fancy to something, it doesn't hurt to take it now. ”

Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue were almost angry when they saw Xiao Lingxiao's provocative cold gaze. But when they cast their eyes on the old lady and father for help, the two men ignored them. Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue almost crushed their teeth, and Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu were also very disappointed with this result, but they could only bow their heads and resent, and they didn't even dare to ask for help.

Xiao Lingxiao was not happy to get the things, nor was she afraid of the anger of the people, these things were sent back to the Qinghe Courtyard by the subordinates, and as soon as she and Bao Rong'er came out of the Xianglin Courtyard, they were stopped by Xiao Shumou.

"Girl, are those things enough? If it's not enough, the third uncle will ask someone to send you more tomorrow. ”

"Third Uncle doesn't blame Ling Xiao for taking those things, right?" Xiao Lingxiao asked with a wink.

"It's good to occupy it! Hahaha......"

Xiao Shumou's smile can melt almost anyone, and even Xiao Lingxiao feels that he has a good impression of this third uncle who suddenly appeared. But what made her care more was Ye Fengming, who was following behind the third uncle, and now he was called Xiao Fengming.

While a few people were leaving, Xiao Shumou explained the matter clearly to Xiao Lingxiao. It turned out that Xiao Shumou and Xuan were close friends, and he went to Fali Temple before returning to the imperial city, and Xuan told him everything about Xiao Lingxiao.

"This guy has to come with him, saying that he must be by your side to protect you." Xiao Shumou betrayed Xiao Fengming in a few words, making Xiao Fengming's face flushed.

Xiao Ranjun obviously had a nose with Xiao Shumou, and approached Xiao Lingxiao and whispered, "Sister, don't worry, if you hate him after a while, the eldest brother will immediately drive him away for you." ”

Xiao Shumou glared at Xiao Ranjun with a red face, as if he wanted to refute two sentences, but in the end he didn't say anything.

In the courtyard of the eldest lady, Xiao Huanyu turned around the room twice angrily, stomped his feet fiercely, and said to the eldest lady and Xiao Huanxue sitting on the soft couch, "Why are you all so calm?" Don't you see that little slut has climbed on top of us? What a big brother! What a third uncle! Why didn't they die outside! ”

The eldest lady glared at Xiao Huanyu when she heard this, and wanted to reprimand her a few words, but she knew that her daughter was annoyed because she didn't get anything. The eldest lady gritted her teeth fiercely, why wasn't she annoyed? For so many years, she has been in the Xiao family, and those who dare to go against her will not be able to get good fruits to eat!

Thinking of everything she had arranged, the eldest lady couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and her expression was relaxed.

Xiao Lingxiao, you should live to the end!
