Chapter 7: Intrigue and Conspiracy
"Lie'er, the one who monitors, is there anything to be rewarded?"
In a palatial hall of the Hou Mansion, Guo sat on a chair, looking elegant, sipping tea. Suddenly, she looked at a young man standing in front of her with dark eyes and an unusually pale face, and at a glance she knew that he was overindulgent.
"Not yet." The young man smiled: "Hehe, aunt, you are still too careful, in my opinion, that Leng Touqing, I am afraid that he has already been furious, and he has no time to think about it." When the wood is completed, I really don't believe that my uncle dares to pass on the knighthood to him? Aren't you afraid that the Xie family's bloodline is impure, and the descendants will change their surnames? ”
"That's right. Besides, as long as this matter is successful, he will already be discredited. As long as I am willing to throw this matter out, I can make him stink at any time! How dare he compete with my son for the title? Guo said disdainfully.
"That's it." The young man smirked.
"Poor Mei'er really thinks you're thinking about her wholeheartedly. It's ridiculous, a woman is so ignorant of inspection, the family almost shamed her a few years ago! I, Guo, am already hated, and she braves the world's disapproval to pile up wages on the fire, I really don't know whether to live or die! It is also a blessing for her to be an important bright son and a discardable dark son in her aunt's plan. ”
……
The young man sneered. Immediately, he frowned again: "It's a pity that my eyebrows are comfortable, and I'm going to be disappointed." ”
The lady smiled, "Don't think about it that little bit. What's so good about that girl, you are a first-class uncle's son-in-law, why do you have to remember it? Wouldn't it be better for your aunt to find a woman with a better complexion? ”
"No, aunt." The young man wept and mourned.
"That girl is a descendant of the Xie family, and her status is noble. It's tender and tender, and it's extremely cute, especially the figure, and the long beautiful legs, tsk, it's really fascinating...... She didn't know how many imperial teenagers were the goddesses of their dreams. is still a talented girl.,It's said that they all took a fancy to the General Research Institute of Magic Energy.。 Even she's a first-level demon war! ”
"With so much light in one, it deserves to be the goddess of Emperor Yizhong......"
There was a crazy look in the young man's eyes: "My nephew likes this tune...... When his nephew saw him, he was shocked, and he still remembers it. You see, this is not for lovesickness, but I have lost several pounds. Auntie, you love me the most, but you can't ignore me. ”
……
"Ugh." The lady sighed.
"You little bastard, you have made your aunt feel bad since you were a child, and now you are so old that you are still dead in front of your aunt. Now that the matter has come to this, the son of a son has agreed to marry Mei'er, what can he do? ”
"Well, I'll look for a chance to see if I can find a way from the master, who scratches his hooves and obeys the master. I think that if it was his own mother's order, the rebel son would not dare to resist. I can't blame our heads, what does it matter to me for his mother's idea? ”
"But I didn't say you, you can't expect anything from your aunt. If you can't go one way, won't you think about it in a different way? Since this opportunity is gone, then ask for a surname. Anyway, the empire now advocates free love as well. If that girl really likes you, then even if it's her eldest brother, can't you stop it? Aren't you going to put some effort into that girl? With such a two-pronged approach, why worry about what you can't do? ”
……
"But she's always been cold to me, never pretending, ignoring me, she's not a civilian girl, and I'm not good at using my ...... Special means. There's no way around it. Hearing this, the young man continued to cry and said with a sad face.
"You're stupid." The lady glanced sideways at the young man.
"The fierce girl is afraid of pestering, do you know by grinding? Don't think I don't know about your, even if you don't rely on those bottles and cans, will there be fewer good family women who are harmed? Don't you have enough of the means to deal with those little girls? ”
"This ...... Isn't this also the reason for love? The young man laughed when he heard this.
"Now enlightened? Moreover, you won't think about it, after the rebel son marries Mei'er, and the wood is already in the boat...... If you want to marry Xie Ning'er, then you can also discuss it with the in-laws on both sides. ”
"yes, why didn't I think of it?" The young man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his eyebrows fluttered.
……
The lady said lightly: "Then you have to wait for the real wood to be completed, but that girl is still young, you don't have to worry, try to slowly cultivate a relationship with her first." After all...... It is better to do less and try to do as little as possible. ”
"Remember my aunt's words, don't worry, grind slowly, wait until the eyebrows and the rebel wood are in the boat, it is better to have a son. Don't treat her too badly if you get that girl started, otherwise it will ruin my Guo family's plan, and my aunt will not spare you. ”
"That's nature, that's nature." The young man's eyebrows fluttered and he nodded again and again.
"It's a pity that I can't use the back hands that I have prepared, otherwise I will kill two birds with one stone, and Xie Ning'er will also be in your pocket." The lady sneered.
"I didn't expect that waste to be so enduring, and actually sacrificed himself for my sister. Oh, what a noble character......"
"Xie's name is high, but this is a man...... Why are they all so stupid? If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed! It's no wonder that the Xie family is still thin. Killing so many barbarians on the battlefield, the barbarians are also all lives, and they do evil......"
The noble lady had a sad look on her face, and sighed leisurely in a pretended manner.
……
"Hehe, that's it. By the way, how is my cousin doing? The young man laughed.
"He, he's still competitive, he's finally better than his big brother, and he can barely be regarded as able to live up to the heroic ancestors of my Jiangnan Xie family and inherit the name of my heroic family."
"Until now, my heart has finally been put into practice. The old man is a person with ideas, don't look at him doting on me, he also asks for our Guo family. If you really want to inherit it, it's not ancient, the eldest grandson, hmph, I really don't know who the master will choose. ”
"However, he married Mei'er...... Hehe, I think the ancestors of the Xie family would not dare to let such a person become the head of the family...... Aren't they afraid that their children and grandchildren from the beginning of this generation will actually be someone else's blood? ”
The lady smirked.
"Hehe, Marquis Hero, Marquis Hero. The flesh and blood of the Xie clan is the Great Wall that will not fall. Xie's name, Guo's strength, and my Guo's are the mainstay. Such a combination can be described as something that my father thinks about at night. ”
……
"It's still your aunt, you are strategizing and getting rid of the big trouble in one fell swoop. The nephew is here to congratulate his aunt and his cousin. The young man said with a grin.
"It's not for the uneasy stuff." The noble lady sighed again: "In a year or two, he should also be a great demon war." After he graduated from the military academy, there were always two or three levels, and it was more than enough to be a major battalion commander. When the time comes, I will arrange for him to join the army in the southwest, and the southwest is good...... From time to time, there is no risk of opening up territory. ”
"When the time comes, after a few years of a year, there will be military merits. The lord has long had the intention of retiring, and he will be able to officially attack the lord smoothly. Although it is not as good as those wealthy geniuses, the twenty-six or seventeen-year-old near-star demon war, the Heroic Martyr, should be in a high position in the empire, to say the least...... If you're lucky in the future, you should have some hope of breaking through the Firmament Demon War. Hehehe. ”
"That's nature!" The youth echoed.
"When the time comes, I will be friends with my cousin for generations. Guo Xie and the two families have been one since then. Even if you see the founding prince, you can sit on an equal footing, haha. My aunt is naturally a rising tide, maybe a hundred years later, the heroic marquis will be grateful to have you, a wise and wise grandmother, who was strategizing back then. ”
"Huh...... Flim tongue, you know how to make your aunt happy. Forget it, let's not talk about it, there you go. Remember to send someone to keep an eye on the garbage point, so that he doesn't have to play any tricks! ”
~~~~~~~~~
Xie Ning'er walked slowly in the garden.
The girl's eyebrows are crooked, and her eyebrows are picturesque. Each of the pink cheeks has a small dimple, and when you laugh, it must be extraordinarily beautiful. A long black hair was draped softly over his shoulders, and a large tuft of blue crystal hairpins was lazily curled at the back of his head, and a few strands of hair were always disheveled and fluttering in the breeze.
It's not like nowadays to care more and more about girls with bare surnames. Her dress seems to be very simple, a simple white dress with light blue flowers on the corners, but her figure is extremely slender.
The teenage girl has a small mole on her delicate collarbone. Beneath, the tightly wrapped breasts seemed to have developed well, drawing a wonderful curve on her chest.
Although there is little exposed skin on the outside, even the small calves and delicate feet exposed under her slender long skirt are crystal white, and there is a faint ruddy vitality that exudes vitality.
……
This is a cute girl who is like the most exquisite masterpiece of heaven.
Although she is only sixteen years old, anyone who sees her will feel that she will be beautiful and unparalleled when she grows up, and she will captivate the country and the city.
In particular, at a young age, the girl is already a first-level demon war that is admired by many ordinary people. Academically, he was also extremely good, and he was admitted early to the Magic Costume Branch of the Imperial Magic Energy Research Institute - that was the highest academic level of the Imperial Magic Costume Science.
Many halos are added to one, which is worthy of this much-loved girl in Yanjing No. 1 Comprehensive High School, there are many fanatical suitors, and even began to be gradually crowned with the title of the goddess of Emperor No. 1 Middle School.
……
At this time, the little girl frowned deeply and seemed to be very distressed.
She still had tears on her face, and she was straight, and there seemed to be no expression on her face. At the same time, her pace shifted and seemed to be extremely heavy.
"Hmm...... Big brother told me to at least pretend to be sad and desperate, so that's it...... can't show the stuffing, in case of being bumped into by that woman, the big brother's big thing will be over. She thought to herself as she walked.
"But I really want to laugh happily......" The girl's eyes narrowed, and a hint of pleasure crossed her eyebrows. Immediately, it was replaced by a bleak color.
I knew that Big Brother was the best.
The girl with a desperate face thought beautifully.
……
Unconsciously, she had come to a small courtyard.
Guarding in front of this small courtyard were the few people her mother brought from the Zhao family to marry. Old Butler Gu, Huzi, and a few maids.
At this time, the Zhao family all had a sad look on their faces, watching their little young lady move step by step.
Xie Ning'er was also full of sadness, she didn't look at them, pushed open the courtyard door and entered directly.
Pushing open the door, the room was dark, and the whole room seemed to have a gloomy and bleak atmosphere, which was incompatible with the bright sunlight outside.
If you look closely, you will see a middle-aged woman sitting on the edge of the bed and weeping secretly.
The woman's face is very soft, and when she was young, she must have been a famous beauty. At this time, her face was very sad.
Wrinkles had crept up her face, and although the sideburns were neatly combed, they could not hide the dense shiny silver hair mixed with green silk - this was a middle-aged woman who had not aged and decrepit.
……
"Mother." Xie Ning'er looked around, closed the door, and ran over with a low cry of joy: "I'm back." ”
"Xiao Ning'er?" The woman raised her head and glanced at the girl, then lowered her gaze again, her face was full of sorrow: "Your eldest brother is awake?" What did you ask to do in the past? My poor Ning'er......" she began to weep mournfully.
"Mother." The girl looked around and leaned closer to the woman's ear: "Don't cry, the eldest brother told me to tell you not to worry, he has a way." ”
"What?" The woman suddenly raised her head and stood up suddenly, she held the girl's hand tightly, as if grasping the last straw to save her life: "Xiao Ning'er, don't lie to me. ”
"Mother~" The girl's long coquettish voice sounded glutinously in the room, and she held the woman's hand and shook it incessantly: "Big brother and little Ning'er, from childhood to adulthood, what they are not sure of, can they tell half a lie?" And, it's not true, would Xiao Ning'er be so happy? ”
"That's ...... What's the solution? A hint of doubt flashed between the woman's brow.
"Hehe, the eldest brother is not allowed to say it, it won't work if I say it, but I think it's really a good way, and I will have to cooperate with the eldest brother when the time comes." The girl smiled, and the room suddenly became bright with spring, and the gloomy clouds and mist in the room seemed to be dispelled in an instant.
……
The woman stared at her blankly, and slowly, a light called hope gradually flashed in her eyes.
She let go of the girl's hand, sat back on the bed softly, kept wiping her tears, and said endlessly: "Good, good, God bless, God bless." I knew that Ning'er would have a way, and I knew that Ning'er would have a way. ”
Although her face still looked a little old, she smiled at the same time, and a few wrinkles seemed to be quietly hidden, and at this moment, the woman looked extremely beautiful.
"Mother......" The delicate girl leaned on the woman's knees, looking up at the woman, and she shouted softly.
Her face suddenly began to become a little strange, a little shy, and a little annoyed and puzzled.
"What's the matter, Xiao Ning'er, but what are the variables in the matter?" The woman immediately became nervous, and she asked hurriedly.
"Not really." The girl's face flushed: "It's just...... It's just that...... It's just that I suddenly felt that my eldest brother was a little weird. ”
"Huh? What happened to Ning'er? Don't you say I forgot, why did he faint suddenly? Is he sick? The woman was anxious, and she asked in a panicked voice.
"It's not what you think." The girl hurriedly explained: "That is, when I went to listen to my eldest brother's words, I saw that his expression seemed to be different, very ...... Very majestic, like ...... It's like my father when I was a kid...... Moreover, I suddenly felt that my eldest brother's eyes suddenly became good...... Sharp. Well, sharp! It's cold, pointy, and a little prickly when you look at it. ”
"Ah, hehe......" The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "Your eldest brother has grown up and is a man, naturally he will not be like when he was a child, the more he grows up, the more he will naturally slowly become like the Hou Ye." ”
"No, he didn't come back like this, and suddenly it was like this, like ...... It's like a different person. The girl's face turned red inexplicably, and she suddenly began to stumble: "The eldest brother's self-title in front of me has suddenly changed, he used to be an elder brother, but now he calls himself an elder brother." Also, usually my eldest brother is close to me, and he will only gently hug me and stroke my hair, just now...... ...... just now"
"What happened just now?" The woman wondered.
The girl's face was already red: "Just now...... The eldest brother actually ...... just now Kiss my face......"
She lowered her head, looked at her toes, and said in a whisper, her white jade-like face was already full of redness.
"So what?" The woman smiled dumbly, and looked lovingly at her little daughter, who had obviously begun to grow up: "Did your eldest brother kiss you less when he was a child?" He's bathed you. ”
"That was when I was a kid! Now men, men and women can't kiss! When I was a child, mother! The girl was immediately ashamed when she heard this, and she said quickly with a red face.
"Hehe......" The woman hugged her daughter in front of her, and she stroked her daughter's long black hair and laughed softly.
"You're still young, only sixteen, ...... I'm growing up, but I haven't grown into a big girl yet. Moreover, your eldest brother is your own brother, so it's okay to kiss you. You feel that you have grown up, if you are not satisfied, you can say to your eldest brother, what kind of hardship do you have to complain to your mother? ”
"I, I won't say it." The girl's face turned even redder, and she suddenly broke free from her mother's embrace, turned around and ran out, and an inaudible voice gradually dissipated into the air with the elegant fragrant wind.
"Actually...... Actually, I like ...... too."
