Chapter 129: Profit
Xiao Xi still didn't speak, but Ji already knew what to do.
Before dawn the next day, the Xiao family's mansion was lit up with candlelight one after another.
Xiao Xi, Xiao Han and Xiao Xing escorted the Wu family, boarded the boat from the dock in Gusu, and arrived in Jiankang City two days later.
Xiao Rong was already waiting at the pier.
With him, there is also Liu Qi, Xiahou Yu's chief steward.
Liu Qi stepped forward to greet the Wu family, and saw Xiao Xi, Xiao Han and Xiao Xing again, and then said to the Wu family with a smile: "The eldest princess is waiting for Mrs. Tai and all Langjun in the manor!" ”
The implication was to invite them to live in the manor.
Wu naturally can't ask for it, she doesn't have a daughter, she feels that Xiahou Yu is as caring as a daughter, and she likes to stay with Xiahou Yu very much.
Xiao Xi underestimated Xiahou Yu in the past, but now that he knows Xiahou Yu's energy, he naturally wants to be closer to her.
He regretted a little that he hadn't brought Ji here.
Xiao Xi nodded at Xiao Han and responded.
Xiao Xing wanted to accompany his mother, and Xiao Han looked forward to Xiao Xi's horse, so naturally he had no objections.
The group went to Xiahou Yu's manor.
Xiahou Yu greeted Wu and the others at the door, and arranged a sumptuous dinner to entertain Xiao Xi and Xiao Han.
Wu accompanied Xiahou Yu to eat food in the back hall.
Because it was late, after dinner, Xiao Xi and the others went to the guest room to rest, but the Wu family left Xiahou Yu and her in a room to rest, and said: "Our mother and sister also talk!" ”
Xiahou Yu was accompanied by the nurse when she was a child, and when the nurse left the palace when she was three years old, she began to sleep alone. Although she was not used to it, she knew that only a daughter-in-law who was very fond of her mother-in-law would receive such an invitation, and she gladly agreed.
Du Hui carefully laid out two futons.
Wu and Xiahou Yu were lying on the bed a mile away and talking: "Is something wrong?" Otherwise, why did you suddenly think of sending a Xiao girl into the palace? Is it a queen or a concubine? The eldest lady of your seventh uncle's family, I'm afraid it's a little unstable. She has been married to the Wang family since she was a child. It's just that he hasn't been hired yet. But after all, it is promised to others, and it is not good for us to do that thing of beating mandarin ducks. ”
As soon as Xiahou Yu heard it, he knew that Xiao Han did not agree to send his daughter into the palace.
Xiao Han was able to withstand such a temptation.
She couldn't help but look at Xiao Han with admiration.
"What about the second uncle?" She asked Wu, "What does the second uncle mean?" ”
During the two days of hurrying, both Xiao Han and Xiao Xi revealed their thoughts to the Wu family.
Wu sighed and said: "What does your second uncle mean, since your seventh uncle is unwilling, it is better to send your third uncle's Ah Mei into the palace." Although that child is not brilliant, it is better to be young, and if you find someone to teach it well, it may not be impossible to become a climate. ”
Xiahou Yu frowned.
She would rather choose Xiao Shan than Xiao Mei.
The main thing is that Xiao Mei is bent on Xiao Xi and sends Xiao Mei into the palace, isn't this making trouble for Xiao Huan?
Xiahou Yu said: "Then what do you mean?" ”
Wu was silent for a moment and said, "Do you have to send a girl from the Xiao family into the palace?" If you have to send it, I don't think it's suitable for either your third uncle or your seventh uncle's family, so it's better to choose someone from your uncle's family who didn't have five suits to pass on to my name. ”
That's a great idea!
Xiahou Yu asked, "Does the second uncle know your plan?" ”
"I don't know!" Wu said, "I always feel that the second uncle is a little inappropriate in this matter!" Do you think, Yan's dip again, after Ah Mei goes to the election, isn't this taking the handle to drill for people? Your second uncle is a shrewd man, how could he be so confused? ”
If Xiao Mei is inherited to the name of Ji, it will be different.
Xiahou Yu smiled slightly.
No matter how beautiful Xiao Xi is, he will show his feet.
"As soon as you say that, I have a score in my heart." Xiahou Yu said, "It's not early, you have been on the road for a few days in a row, it's too hard." Rest early! We'll talk about that tomorrow. ”
Wu gave everything he needed to explain, and although he was very tired, he didn't want to sleep.
She gave a perfunctory "um" and asked Xiao Huan: "How is he doing these days?" When did he leave? What happened between him and the general? ”
Wu's questions were one after another, and Xiahou Yu answered, not knowing when he fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she was the only one on the bed, and Wu had already woken up, sitting at the table with breakfast. Seeing her wake up, he greeted her kindly, and said, "Today's Hu cake is made of new wheat, it tastes very good, can you come to breakfast after you freshen up?" If it's cold, it won't taste good! ”
Xiahou Yu was stunned.
I slept lazily with my mother-in-law.
Fortunately, Wu was kind and did not feel offended.
No wonder Xiao Yan and Xiao Huan are willing to protect her!
Xia Hou sighed a few words in his heart, had breakfast with the Wu family, and went to the side hall to meet Xiao Xi, Xiao Han and Xiao Xing.
Xiao Xing didn't know why Xiao Xun and the others came to Jiankang City, and Xiao Xun didn't want him to know, before getting down to business, Xiao Xun found an excuse to send Xiao Xing away: "Don't you have to write 2,000 words a day?" We're just chatting with the eldest princess, so you can do your homework first! ”
This excuse is too bad, Xiao Xing looked at Xiahou Yu and then at Xiao Xi, quite at a loss.
Xiahou Yu hoped that Xiao Xing could help Xiao Huan guard the family business as soon as possible, she said: "Just let Ah Xing stay!" He's not too small, and I'm counting on him to run errands for me! ”
Wu also hopes that his youngest son can stand alone and help his eldest son. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Ah Xing, then you can stay!" ”
Xiao Xing happily prostrated himself on the ground and said yes.
Xiao Xun had no choice but to let Xiao Xing listen to him.
Because Xiahou Yu had already understood the thoughts of the two yesterday, he still listened to them again today.
She asked Xiao Han, "Have you made a decision?" ”
Once the candidate is decided, Xiao Han will regret it too late.
Xiao Han took a few deep breaths, nodded heavily, and said, "Don't force it at all times in your life." I'm afraid that the eldest lady of our family will not have this opportunity. ”
Xiahou Yu was not reluctant.
She originally wanted the Xiao family to provide a candidate.
After Xiao Han knew Xiao Xi's thoughts, he naturally wouldn't mention Xiao Shan again.
When Xiao Xi proposed Xiao Mei, he was directly denied by Xiahou Yu.
She said: "This child is too introverted to adapt to life in the palace. I think I will follow the meaning of the A family, and choose one of the girls of the Xiao family who did not have five suits and the right age to inherit under the name of the A family and marry the younger sister of the governor of Chengdu. ”
Xiao Xi's face turned pale.
Wu didn't reveal anything before.
Obviously, Wu didn't believe him very much.
If this is the case, Xiao Mei will not have a chance to enter the palace at all.
Xiahou Yu sighed beside him.
Xiao Han is indeed a good person, why did he stand on Xiao Xi's side?
So does Xiao Han know what Xiao Xi did?
Xiahou Yu suddenly wanted to know very much.
She finally said with a posture that Xiao Xun didn't want to say much: "Then this matter is handed over to the second uncle and the seventh uncle." After all, I am not familiar with the girls of the Xiao family, who is suitable, or you two are more discerning. ”
Xiao Han couldn't ask for it.
The Xiao family has a more suitable girl, and Xiao Pei can marry with peace of mind.
Xiao Xi's mind spun quickly.
The Yan family has always disliked her two women getting close to him and the Ji family, if she knew that Xiao Mei had such an opportunity, she should have rushed to Jiankang City, right?
