The Left Hand of the Devil Chapter 18
There was silence for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was very flat. But at this moment, Jin Yu preferred to believe that what he said came from the bottom of her heart.
“。。。 In addition to her stepmother, Jin Yu has never had a family in her memory. But if it were me, I wouldn't be ruthless and ignore my stepmother, I was offended. “
"Miss Jin doesn't have to be like this, I was born with the surname Yiqi, and I have enjoyed the supreme glory brought by the word Yiqi, so I should naturally bear the responsibility and hardships behind this Yiqi."
"Jin Wei, don't be sad, I don't like you, I want to recognize you as a godsister. Although you have no relatives, as long as you don't dislike it, I Xiao Wei will be your brother in the future, and whoever dares to bully you in the future, I will support you. “
With Xiao Wei's character, it must be from the bottom of her heart to be able to say this, Jin Yu was very moved in her heart, and her eyes were wet for a while.
"Hey, don't cry, I'm most afraid of girls crying, what can I do."
Seeing Jin Wei crying, Xiao Wei was in a hurry, and his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks.
"I'm happy to have an extra brother for nothing."
Jin Yu looked at him very interestingly, and couldn't help laughing. King Ning was only on the sidelines but smiled silently, and he was very harmonious for a while.
"If Xiao Yuan knows that you have accepted such a sister, you will have a headache again."
"No matter what he does, the big deal is to reprimand me."
"Xiao Yuan?"
"Yes, Xiao Wei also has an eldest brother named Xiao Yuan, who is the same age as me."
"Huh? It sounds like the eldest son of the Xiao family and the second son of the Xiao family don't seem to be very close? “
"Don't you know, this Xiao family has three fathers and sons, and their temperaments are completely different."
"How is it different?"
"As I told you before, the Xiao family is also a famous family that has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is a household Shangshu in this generation, named Xiao Cheng, that is, Xiao Wei's father.
This Xiao Shangshu is the most sleek, never involved in the factional disputes of the court, and is a veritable old fox. The two young masters of the Xiao family, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Wei.
Xiao Yuan's temperament is extremely serious and old-fashioned, upright, so he became the Imperial History Zhongcheng in the Imperial History Tower. Although he doesn't know how to be flexible and stubborn, his father appreciates him for being outspoken and daring, but he is often angry with him for being rigid. As for Xiao Wei, you don't need me to say what kind of character he is. “
In this way, the three fathers and sons of the Xiao family are indeed very interesting. But the three fathers and sons of this family are all in high positions... “
"My Xiao Wei's sister is smart. Although our father and son are all in high positions, my father and brother never form gangs, but only serve His Majesty wholeheartedly. In addition, the ancestors of the Xiao family are all scholars, even if they are in a high position, they have never exceeded the duty of a minister, so this is why the Xiao family has stood tall for a hundred years. But in my generation, I became a general, took charge of the army, and now I recognize you, a subordinate of King Xuan, as a righteous sister, if my eldest brother knows, I will be punished. “
"Then I'm not a burden to you...
"Don't worry about it, my eldest brother and I have always been at odds, and if I really want to find out the reason, it's not because of you, let alone you."
"It's because ... What about joining the army? “
"Yes, the ancestors of the Xiao family have always opposed the entry of descendants into the army, but I insisted on going my own way and asked His Majesty for a holy decree. My eldest brother has always refused to forgive me, so I haven't been back to Yudu all these years. It's been seven years now. “
"Seven years? Wasn't you still a kid when you left? “
Xiao Wei was only thirteen years old at the time, when his father took pity on him when he was young, he planned to let him be a junior general in the Guards, who knew that he was going to go to the most dangerous and difficult northern border, his father saw him so stubborn, so he agreed, and specially ordered the old general Zhen, who was still a general at the time, to take care of him, never thought that he went to the north but went to the most dangerous place to drill. At that time, we were also very surprised that Xiao Wei suddenly wanted to join the army. But seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, and no one expected that the Xiao family, who had been reading for generations, would really have such a talent. “
"Then why did Brother Xiao suddenly want to join the army?"
"This... It's just old things, so don't mention it. “
Xiao Wei was silent for a moment, and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp. With Xiao Wei's temper unwilling to say the reason, it seems that even if seven years have passed, it is still not just an old thing. It's just that since he didn't want to say it, it was inconvenient for Jin Yu to ask further. King Ning sat on the side and was silent, as if he knew something, but it was inconvenient for him to speak.
The atmosphere in the pavilion was a little frozen for a while.
"It's me who asked more, Brother Xiao must not take it to heart."
"It doesn't matter. If you have good wine today, you should drink it with joy. “
While the three were talking, a servant walked in.
"Lord Wang, Lord Xiao asks to see you."
"Lord Xiao? Which Lord Xiao? “
He didn't answer yet, but Xiao Wei was stunned when he heard the words and blurted out.
"I really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, please let Master Xiao come in."
"Is my brainless big brother?"
I didn't expect to be able to meet this rumored Lord Xiao Yuan, it seems that this Ning Wangfu is really the right place today, Jin Yu thought to herself.
After a while, I saw a man in plain clothes and green clothes follow the attendant into the bamboo forest.
"Xiao Yuan see the prince."
The man walked outside the bamboo pavilion and saw that Xiao Wei was also in the pavilion, his eyes paused, as if he wanted to say something. But remembering that the decision was still on the side, he turned around and saluted the decision first.
"No courtesy."
"Xiao Yuan needs to deal with some family matters first, if he offends the prince, please forgive the prince."
made a decision, but Xiao Yuan still didn't stand up straight, but lowered his head and said such a sentence, which made Jin Yu a little confused.
Definitely his face was calm, as if he had become accustomed to it, but he raised his right hand and made a 'please' motion. Xiao Yuan saluted again, then straightened up and looked at Xiao Wei.
"Why are you here?"
"I met the prince by chance in the morning, so I was invited by the prince to come over to the house."
"Accidentally? Where did you meet the prince early in the morning? “
"I..."
"You haven't been back to Yudu for seven years, but now that you're back, you live in the army every day, and you don't go back to your home to see your mother, but linger in various palaces. Yesterday, he was still entangled with a woman in public, what kind of system he became. “
This Lord Xiao really did what he said, and he was very stern. Jin Wei secretly looked at this Lord Xiao, her face was fair-skinned and gentle, she was indeed a little similar to Xiao Wei, but she was older, and her expression was serious and old-fashioned, as if there was no other expression.
"It's just a competition. You can slander me, but don't ruin the reputation of other girls. “
"If a serious girl should abide by women's morals, how can I have a chance to slander. If you mix in restaurants and act rashly, how can you have a good reputation? “
"In your eyes, can only those deep ladies who don't leave the door and don't step out of the door be considered serious girls?"
"Not bad. My Xiao family has been scholarly for generations, and the door style is upright, and I will never allow any unidentified and virtuous woman to defile the lintel of my Xiao family. “
Jin Yu listened for a while before she reacted, isn't the girl in the restaurant that the two of them are arguing about talking about herself? . .
This Lord Xiao Yuan is really serious and old-fashioned, but after entering the restaurant, he became rash in words and deeds, if he knew that she not only went to the restaurant, but also went in and out of the flower building several times, wouldn't it become a model of bad morals...
But the more Jin Yu listened, the more she felt that Xiao Yuan's words seemed to be talking about herself, but they seemed to mean something else.
"I don't want to argue with you anymore, I disturbed the peace of the prince in vain. Since the prince has guests, Xiao Wei will leave first. Jin Yu should also walk with me, presumably Lord Xiao Yuan disdains to drink at the same table with her. “
Xiao Wei flicked his sleeves suddenly, stood up, and saluted Dudu, but Duel had to nod helplessly. Xiao Yuan seemed to want to say something, but this was Ning Wangfu after all.
It's not that Xiao Wei refuses to go home, he would rather live in the barracks, and even when he goes home to visit his mother, he can't see him at all when he is away. Otherwise, with Xiao Yuan's family style, how could he openly quarrel with Xiao Wei in King Ning's mansion.
However, although the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, the two brothers of the Xiao family grew up with the two princes, and they have long been accustomed to this scene, and they naturally know Xiao Wei's secrets.
"Lord Xiao will sit for a while, and wait for this king to send the two out of the mansion first."
"Don't dare to bother the prince."
"It's okay."
He stood up and led Xiao Wei and Jin Yu to walk out.
"I didn't expect Lord Xiao to come to visit suddenly, disturbing the two of Yaxing, because the king was not well entertained, and he would make arrangements early another day, and then invite the two to come over to the house."
"The prince is polite, my family affairs have come to the prince's mansion, which makes the prince laugh."
"The general doesn't have to care, the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read. However, there is one sentence, this king still wants to persuade the general. “
"Lord Wang, please speak."
"General Xiao has been gone for seven years, and Mrs. Xiao must be very concerned. If the general is free, he should often go back to accompany Mrs. Xiao. “
"What the prince said is that Xiao didn't understand. It's just that he offended the prince today, Xiao Wei was very reluctant not to go, and he would come to the door another day to apologize. “
"This king is fine, but Lord Xiao Yuan is a little offensive to Jin Yu in his words, you have to make amends to Jin Yu."
"That's natural, I just recognized Jin Yan's sister, and I made such a big scandal in front of her, and I also affected her plainly, how can I just make amends."
"What about me... Lord Xiao Yuan is also thinking about Brother Xiao, although he is a little serious and old-fashioned, I can understand his hard work. ”
"I really didn't mistake your sister, but how can I let my sister be wronged in vain as a brother. The dim sum of Wuren Pavilion in this Yudu City is the most famous, go, let Brother Wei take you to have a good taste, and it will be regarded as making amends for your sins. “
"Then thank you, big brother."
"Thank you today, the two of us will leave first."
"General Xiao is polite, I heard earlier that General Xiao is going to be a guide for Jin Yu, now that it is a good spring, it is the season of competition in the back garden of the palace, why don't you go to the palace with this king tomorrow?"
"This..."
"It's okay, this king also wants to walk around, it's better than being bored in the house all day long."
"Very good, very good, the back garden in the palace is indeed a good place, I haven't been there for many years, and if you want to enter the palace on weekdays, you have to be called, let alone the harem. The last time I went was seven years ago, and I miss it now. Since the prince is so gracious, why don't we go and see it together? “
"If this is the case, then it will be bothering the prince. It is my blessing to have the privilege of seeing the prosperity of the palace. “
"Then it's decided, this king will wait for the two of you outside the palace gate tomorrow morning."
The two returned the salute and left King Ning's mansion.
