Chapter 288: Tranquility is Blessedness
In the evening, the eldest princess of Anping sent someone over and said that the dinner had been prepared. Xiao Yu took a pair of children to Shenghua Courtyard.
The atmosphere of the dinner was warm and harmonious, and the Xiao Cong brothers and sisters had a witty remark and a funny one, which made their parents very happy. The family pays attention to food without words, but it is not rigid, this is originally the rule of health, not a rigid dogma, as long as there is no food, not to hold the spoon, it is the etiquette of education, and talking and laughing is not forbidden, and eating in a happy mood is also the way of health.
After dinner, the siblings said goodbye and left the space for their parentshttp://.5./books/20/20428/

Painting the ground for marriage. On the way back, the brother and sister walked slowly side by side, and they had the right to eat. Xiao Yan looked back at Shenghua Courtyard and said with a happy expression: "Mother and father are much more harmonious. "At least not as sneering at my father as he used to be.
Xiao Cong sighed slightly: "The culprit is dead and circled, the evil anger in my mother's heart has disappeared, and I know that my father has endured it for so many years, and those grievances are gone." ”
Xiao Yan smiled: "That's good." ”
Parents get along well, and children are happy.
Even if you can't become a loving husband and wife, it's good to live in harmony, husband and wife have to be relative for a lifetime, and there is no happiness in cold faces.
Xiao Yan cared about his brother again, "How are the fourth brother and Mrs. Wei getting along?" ”
Xiao Cong smiled between her eyebrows, and said of Wei Zijing in a warm voice: "She is very gentle and quiet, she reads a lot, she is talented but not outward, and she is a person who is quiet and has her own landscape in her heart." It's natural and comfortable to get along with her, and there's no pressure. It's like, drinking sour plum soup on dog days, and drinking hot milk tea on winter and snowy days, which is refreshing, comfortable, and ironing. ”
Xiao Yan saw that the fourth brother's eyes were shining with a soft light, and his handsome face was also soft, which was completely different from the look of appreciation and respect when he talked about Shen Qingyi before, although Xiao Yan had never loved anyone, but from Li Yuzhen's eyes and expressions when he looked at her, the fourth brother obviously had love for Wei Zijing.
Xiao Yan sighed with emotion and said, "It seems that the most suitable is the best." ”
In her heart, Shen Qingyi is naturally excellent, and the fourth brother is also excellent, but they only have the kindness of husband and wife, but they can't give birth to the love of husband and wife.
What's right for you is the best.
Xiao Cong smiled and said, "Ah Yan will also meet the most suitable one in the future." ”
"That's the fourth brother's good words." Xiao Yan thanked him decently.
Xiao Cong's clear voice laughed.
After laughing, he said, "Your sister Shen will also meet the most suitable one." ”
"I hope so." Xiao Yan sighed. Immediately, he cast a true qi barrier and asked the fourth brother: "The most suitable for my sister, that person...... Fourth brother knows? ”
Xiao Cong looked at her sister speechlessly, "Do you think your sister Shen will sue me?" ”
Sue sù ex-husband who he likes...... Well, it doesn't seem like a sister's nature.
Xiao Cong hesitated, as if she was considering whether to say it or not, and after thinking about it, she still told her sister and said: "On the day of signing and leaving the book, I blessed Qingyi's wish to come true, and she said, 'Alone cocoon threads.' ’”
"Huh?!" Xiao Yan glared in surprise.
This is a metaphorical poem in the "Theory of Poetry" with clear coherence and clear context, and was later also used as a metaphor...... Unrequited love.
How can it be?
My sister would think about a person alone??
…… What kind of character is that worthy of sister's single thought?
Xiao Yan felt completely unimaginable.
I also feel that if there is such a person, I must want to beat him up!
He made his sister suffer from single thoughts...... No-Xiao Yan suddenly came to his senses: it wasn't that sister thinking about that person, but that person probably didn't know that his sister was in love with him. With the character of a sister, how could she have anything to do with other men before she reconciled with her fourth brother?
Xiao Cong saw her stunned eyes and annoyed and abrupt expression, knowing that she had figured it out, sighed slightly: "When I first knew that Qingyi was interested in someone, I was also very surprised, and I was quite angry. But if you think about it carefully, with a pure and proud and self-respecting temperament, how can you make a trip to get involved with others in marriage? It should be that she found herself alone and single, out of respect for herself and for me, that she was determined to leavehttp://.5./books/20/20429/
http://.5./books/20/20429/
Cheng Feng Ji. ”
But Xiao Cong couldn't think of who Shen Qingyi had come into contact with, and she had no trace of it at all. The most important thing is that Shen Qingyi has always adhered to etiquette after marrying into the Xiao Mansion, and has not had any contact with any young man. Xiao Cong thought about it, maybe she met in the Shen Mansion before, but with her temperament, if there was someone in her heart, I was afraid that she would not have a husband and wife affair with him. What Xiao Cong really suspected was that Shen Qingyi kept his distance from him, which should have been when he was in Tingzhou...... But from Hezhou to Tingzhou, in such a short period of time, did Qingyi fall in love with anyone at first sight? But thinking about Shen Qingyi's temperament, it was love at first sight, it really couldn't happen to her.
Xiao Cong is also curious, who does his ex-wife like?
The brother and sister looked at each other, and they both felt like a cat in their hearts.
Xiao Cong was stable after all, and it was not good to show his curiosity about who his ex-wife admired, so he coughed and changed the topic.
Xiao Yan asked about the fourth brother's son, "How strong does he look?" "The fourth brother wrote to her, the first thing she was proud of was that her son was born with seven and a half pounds, which was very strong.
Xiao Cong laughed and said, "It's better to see than to ask a hundred questions." He squeezed his eyes and teased her, "You 'uncle', I haven't seen your nephew yet." "Looking at the sky," the tiger head hasn't slept yet. Let's hurry up, your uncle is hugging him. As he spoke, he beckoned his hand to go on the road, and commanded the woman to hurry up. The maidservants in the house are all well-trained and healthy maids, and they are still as smooth as before carrying the son of the world. Xiao Cong instead urged Xiao Yan, "Ah Yan, hurry up, you won't be able to hold your nephew if you slow down." ”
Xiao Yan smiled, moved his foot, and easily followed Bu Yuan, talking to his brother while walking, Xiao Cong talked about some interesting things about his son, laughing loudly, and his eyebrows were all smiling.
In less than two quarters of an hour, they arrived at Heng'an Hospital.
"The prince is back."
"Seventeen Lang-kun is here."
The next person reported in a stack.
The servants and maids who are familiar with Xiao Yan in the Heng'an courtyard are happy, Xiao Yan is beautiful and gentle to her subordinates, the servants and maids are willing to come to her, and the seventeenth Langjun is the happiest every time he comes to the world, and the master is happy, and the people in the courtyard are happy.
After entering the main building, Xiao Cong took Xiao Yan and walked to the inner courtyard. Xiao Yan stopped in front of the second gate and said, "Fourth brother, this is not good. "She is not the little teenager she used to be, she can enter and leave the inner courtyard without mowgli. Of course, it is okay to enter the inner courtyard with your brother, but now there is no serious hostess in the inner courtyard, and it is not good to see your brother's concubine in the inner courtyard.
Xiao Cong glanced at her and smiled, "I forgot." "I forgot that my sister is still a younger brother." Well, wait a while. After a while, his father announced his sister's identity and re-entered the inner courtyard, Xiao Cong hoped that his favorite sister could get along well with Wei Zijing, just like Ah Yan used to do with Qingyi.
"Let's go to the East Pavilion and talk. Let Zijing bring the tiger head over. Xiao Cong ordered a maid to go inside to deliver the message.
The siblings turned to the front yard.
Heng'an Hospital is still the same as three years ago, there are no major changes, except that the ramp staircase that is convenient for wheelchairs to go up and down has been changed to a stepped staircase. Xiao Yan saw that the fourth brother went upstairs steadily, with a well-proportioned and slender figure, a straight back, wearing the wide robe and big sleeves of the scholar Langjun, his demeanor was handsome and noble, and he was no longer half sick, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and silently thanked Shen Qingyi - if there was no sister, there would be no fourth brother today.
The east pavilion on the second floor is a sitting hall, the brother and sister do not need to take off their boots to enter directly, sit on the Zen chair on both sides of the main seat with bent legs, the maid has fried tea, and the brother and sister talk while drinking tea. After about a quarter of an hour, there was a slight sound of clothes rustling outside, and the maid said, "Shizi, Wei Xiangjun is here." ”
Xiangjun is a seven-rank foreign woman, with the title of the prince of Xiao Congguo, you can put the four women of the eighth grade, Wei Zijing first married into Xiao Cong according to the system to ask her to be named Tingjun, after giving birth to the eldest son, Xiao Cong went to the seal of the concubine, gave up the right to put three concubines, and asked the court to improve Wei Zijing's grade - the palace foreign women's department immediately approved, you must know that the court of the foreign woman is to give Yu Lu, four positive eight grades of Yu Lu is equivalent to two from the seventh grade, Xiao Cong is willing to cut the concubine room and only put one from the seventh grade, why not do the court?
The maid lifted the brocade curtain, and Wei Zijing and the nurse came in one after the otherhttp://.5./books/20/20432/
http://.5./books/20/20432/
[Rebirth] plastic surgery diary.
Xiao Yan immediately stood up, although Wei Zijing was not her serious sister-in-law, but she was someone that the fourth brother liked, of course she had to respect her.
"Shizi." Wei Zijing saluted Xiao Cong, her voice was as soft and quiet as before, and she saluted Xiao Yan again, and praised, "Seventeen Langjun." "She is not Xiao Cong's main room, and she can't be called Xiao Yan's seventeenth brother according to etiquette.
Xiao Yan waved his hand at her with a solemn expression, and said decently: "Wei Xiangjun." ”
Seeing that Wei Zijing was wearing a light blue twig skirt with large sleeves of magnolia-colored light gauze, with a graceful appearance, delicate and pleasant, quiet as a person in a painting in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Yan remembered the feeling of seeing Wei Zijing in Tingzhou back then, and nodded slightly in his heart: Wei Wuniang has not changed. It's a rarity. Marrying into the rich and noble Mansion of Liang Guo, it is rare to not be dazzled by the splendid prosperity and still maintain a quiet heart.
Xiao Yan's feeling for Wei Zijing has not changed, except that her face is more prosperous than back then, and her temperament is also more rounded, which makes people feel that wearing a burlap shirt is as smooth and moist as a brocade shirt, and that pure and beautiful feeling is still the same, those eyes like glass crystals are clear and clear, as if they can shine into people's hearts. But Wei Zijing's heart no longer had the heartbeat she had when she first saw that beautiful boy, and when she made the decision to turn around, she had already left that heartbeat in the Thousand Peach Forest and let it
She stood sideways beside Xiao Cong, her eyes staring at her husband with warm eyebrows, her heart was soft and peaceful, and she had a feeling that the years were quiet, this kind of happiness may not be strong, but it was long, and it could accompany her life to be quiet until the years were round. She was glad again that she had made the right choice back then, the marriage that she originally chose one of them blossomed into a happy flower, this is an unexpected joy, Wei Zijing is a smart person who also knows how to cherish blessings, and now she only has respect for her brother-in-law, and there is no more heartbeat when she unveiled her face under the thousand peach trees back then.
Xiao Cong beckoned, and the nurse brought the child forward.
Xiao Hutou is more than two years old this year, he has a pair of phoenix eyes typical of the Xiao family, and he is not stage frightened when he sees a living person, and his black and white eyes look at Xiao Yan, full of curiosity. Xiao Cong took his son from the nurse's hand, looked at the posture very skillfully, obviously hugged it countless times, and smiled at his son: "Tiger head, this is your seventeenth uncle." The most handsome and beautiful uncle. ”
Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing, did the "fourth brother...... introduce his son like this?
Xiao Hutou was less than three years old, but his speech was very round, he bit the words clearly, and shouted in a milky voice: "Uncle Seventeen." He tilted his head and repeated his father's words, "Handsome, pretty." ”
Xiao Yan laughed, looked down at him, two pairs of equally pure eyes faced each other, the child suddenly giggled, and stretched out his hands to her.
Xiao Congle said: "The tiger head likes you." "Hand the child over.
Xiao Yan took the child like the fourth brother, her movements were a little jerky, she straightened her arms, and hugged the child's face a little away from her chest, and there were embroidered patterns on her placket, for fear of shaving the child's face. Wei Zijing saw it in his eyes, smiled in his heart, and was relieved: the seventeenth brother of the prince is very careful and loves the child very much.
"Did Father name the tiger head?" Xiao Yan asked the fourth brother.
According to the rules of the Xiao family, the child will be registered on the genealogy when he is three years old, and the name of the milk will be called before the age of three, but those who love and value the child are generally named early, and they will be named on the spectrum only when they are three years old - Hutou is the eldest son of the fourth brother, and the father must have taken the name early in the morning.
Xiao Cong said: "My father chose two words, and I haven't figured out which one to use." ”
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, the fourth brother's words are interesting.
Haven't thought about it yet...... What to consider?
After teasing the child for a while, the child couldn't help but fall asleep and drooped, Wei Zijing and the nurse took the child back to the inner courtyard. Xiao Yan laughed at the fourth brother and said, "Wei Niangzi has a lot of feelings for the fourth brother." Just now, she paid attention and saw that Wei Zijing was looking at the child half the time, and half the time her eyes were on the fourth brother.
Xiao Cong smiled, his warm eyebrows and eyes were soaked with a kind of happiness, tranquility, and calm.
He waved his hand and retired from the servant, and said: "After the tiger head was born, his father chose a word for him, 'Ding'http://.5./books/20/20430/
http://.5./books/20/20430/
The poisonous third lady in the world. ”
Ding, Anya.
Stability, stability, that's a good name.
But it is also a stable name, suitable for the eldest son.
"A few days ago, my father chose another word." Xiao Cong's finger wrote the word "Xuan" on the high table.
Xuan, Omuro also. The original meaning is the palace of the emperor.
- This is not a name suitable for a concubine.
Xiao Yan applied a true qi barrier to isolate the inside and outside, and said knowingly: "The fourth brother wants to establish Wei Niangzi as the main room? ”
Only the eldest son can be named "Xuan".
Xiao Cong nodded slightly and said, "I don't want to have another eldest son." ”
Xiao Yan was silent.
The second uncle Xiao Jun and the second brother Xiao Zhang are both the eldest sons. If there was no disaster of the eldest son, the fourth brother would not have suffered so many years of suffering, and his father and mother would not have suffered for nearly 20 years.
She can understand the fourth brother's mind very well, and also supports his approach, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother is not only wise, but also resolute. ”
Dare to set up the daughter of a poor family as his wife and the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, of course, it is bold.
The father must have been persuaded by the fourth brother.
Xiao Cong said: "Although the family surnamed A has never had a housewife from a poor family, there is always a time when the rules are broken. Emperor Gaozong said back then that to be an emperor, you must abide by the rules, and you must also break the rules. So it is with the head of a nation, so it should be the head of a family. In addition to the benefits of family marriage, the most important thing is that the high family has a better upbringing, a better bloodline, and can give birth to excellent offspring. But the Wei family has been a generalist for generations, and has an excellent bloodline, which is not a poor family with such inferior bloodlines, and Zijing's talent is also extremely outstanding, with high quality, and his upbringing and bloodline are by no means inferior. - Look at the tiger head, a child who is only more than two years old, has a lot of spirituality, not only speaks clearly and fluently, but also remembers people very well, he remembers him who hugged him once, and he can call it out accurately next time. Xiao Cong said and laughed, "My father now has to go to my mother's place every morning to eat, because the nurse will bring the tiger head over to ask for peace, and he is not comfortable if he doesn't see the tiger head one day." ”
Xiao Yan also laughed.
That's it, good.
From now on, there will be no more eldest sons in the Guogong Mansion.
But this also means that the marriage with the royal family is broken, can the Xiao family and the royal family continue to be in alliance forever?
While Xiao Yan was happy for the fourth brother, his heart was a little heavy.
But no matter what, she'll try.
The world is safe and secure...... You have to seek it before you can get it.
***
After the morning exercise the next day, Xiao Yan went to Songhe Temple to greet his grandmother.
The eldest princess of Changning is so quiet, she has long prevented her children and grandchildren from coming to give her morning and dusk. Xiao Yan came over to tell her grandmother about Oghuz, and her grandmother asked her to come over in the morning and have breakfast together. Grandmother's breakfast is very simple, it is a cup of truffle honey and a bowl of sea cucumber egg custard, which is light but fragrant, and healthy. prepared a bowl of truffle cheese for Xiao Yan, the fragrance of truffles matched with the sweetness and smoothness of the cheese, and he was in a good mood all morning. Xiao Yan thought to herself, her grandmother's temperament is weak, but she is very good at enjoying life, maybe this is the reason why her old man's life is quiet but leisurely.
It was almost noon when he came out of his grandmother's courtyard, and Xiao Yan went to his mother's courtyard for lunch. After lunch, accompany Anping's mother to eat and take a walk in the garden, and in the afternoon she wants to take a nap, Xiao Yan went back to Qingning Courtyard. Changed into a loose straight jacket, she calmed down in the study with agarwood, and after her mind was all calm, she spread paper and polished ink and painted roses.
This painting was painted until the afternoon, and An Yexi reminded that he should go to Rui Sitanghttp://.5./books/20/20431/
http://.5./books/20/20431/
The fierce girl is not worried about the fat girl who marries. Xiao Yan went back to the bedroom to change into a big-sleeved robe, and walked towards his father's yard.
Xiao Yu had just changed into a big-sleeved regular uniform, and all the cousins and clan brothers of the clan council came over and entered the hall together.
Xiao Yan reported inside, saluted his father, and then saluted respectfully to his uncles.
"Good! Good! ”
The hall burst into laughter.
"Our Xiao family has this talent, we should celebrate it." One of the clansmen laughed.
It is indeed necessary to celebrate: the Cave Truth Realm Great Perfection Grandmaster who is less than twenty years old, the youngest Cave Truth Realm Great Perfection Grandmaster in the Tang Empire, this must be celebrated! It is not only Xiao Yan's personal glory, but also the glory of the Xiao family, and it can also set an example to inspire the children of the clan - it must be celebrated, and it must be celebrated.
In the end, it was agreed that on this month's rest day, a big banquet will be held in the Ming Hall of the Guogong Mansion, and all branches and rooms in the clan will go to the banquet to celebrate.
It also discussed the ancestor worship ceremony.
According to the rule, after the children of the clan are promoted to the Cave True Realm Grandmaster, they must enter the temple to worship their ancestors. Xiao Yan was not in the Xiao family when he first entered the cave realm, and now that he has returned home, it is a great consummation, which is even more important. Moreover, this ceremony needs to be more grand than the ordinary Advancement Cave True Realm.
The hierarchy of the rituals was discussed for a long time.
Because the rank of the sacrifice is equivalent to the status in the family, it is not arbitrary.
In the end, it was preliminarily agreed that it would be regarded as a sacrifice for the elders of the Guardian Clan.
The Xiao Clan's acquired grandmaster has two levels, one is the elder, and above is the elder of the Protector Clan, the elder has the resource treatment of the elder, and the Elder of the Protector is above the elder and has the actual power of the Council of Elders. "Regarded as the same as the Guardian Patriarch Sacrifice", which means that Xiao Yan's status in the clan is regarded as the Protector Elder - of course, before entering the Council of Elders, there is no actual power of the Protector Elder, but the status and treatment are the same.
For Xiao Yan's age, becoming a Protector Elder is too young, but in terms of her strength and future prospects, there is not much controversy.
The reason why it was a preliminary agreement was because it involved the family martial arts master, and the clan council had to report to the clan elders for confirmation.
Sending away the uncles who were discussing the matter, Xiao Yan and his father went back to the study to talk.
"Ah Yan, why does your promotion have to be so grand in the clan?"
Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "In addition to the reasons that the uncles said, my father wants to eliminate the impact of the second uncle's incident on the clan, right?" ”
"Not bad." Xiao Yu said approvingly.
Although the purge of Xiao Jun and Xiao Zhang's forces has cleared the hidden dangers of the family and unified the will of the whole clan, this purge has involved too many Xiao family members, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the hearts of the people, and a great event is urgently needed to eliminate this adverse effect.
Xiao Yan's promotion to the "Nineteen Age" to the Acquired Great Perfection is an exciting event, especially for the young children of the clan, who can sweep away the grievances and inspire them to work hard.
Xiao Yu was thinking deeply, so naturally he would not let go of this great opportunity.
"But," he reminded his daughter, "it pushed you up." After the big sacrifice, you are the most top-notch person in the younger generation of the clan, and even many of the older generations are inferior to you, the so-called Mu Xiu Yu Lin - too much limelight, can you bear it? ”
How many talented talents are lost to being too outstanding.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I'm not in the limelight, I'm in the limelight, why not be afraid of the limelight." If you are not on the cusp of the storm, there will be no wind and rain. There is no wind and rain, where to sharpen the blade. ”
Xiao Yu laughed, "Okay." ”
is worthy of being his daughter Xiao Jingxi.
