Chapter 20 One Song a Day?
The next morning, Princess Changle was escorted to Xiaojiazhuang. Xiao Rui was harvesting potatoes with the villagers, and the little princess came directly to the field.
"Big brother, I'm here to play with you......"
"You stand there and don't move, I'll go over when I'm done!" Xiao Rui shouted.
"Huh? Okay, I'll help you! Hurry up, hurry up, all go down and help......"
Xiao Changle was very sensible, urging his group of guards to work in the fields, and he also took off his shoes and socks, and ran away on the soft soil with his bare feet.
Xiao Rui slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Did I say so?" ”
Soon, the little guy ran to Xiao Rui's side and asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you busy with?" How do I get started? ”
Xue Li smiled and said, "We are harvesting potatoes, you help us pick up all the potatoes in the soil into the basket." ”
"Potatoes? Is it the potato stew chicken kind of potato? Okay, yes, my favorite potato is my favorite. "The little guy was very enthusiastic and quickly jumped into the army of potato pickers.
The guards who helped were also busy under the command of the villagers, but strangely, when everyone asked what it was, the villagers only said that it was a delicious vegetable, and did not reveal too much.
"Xiao Changle, why are you here again in a few days? Gluttonous again? Xiao Rui asked jokingly.
"Well, the big brother's potato stew and chicken, I want to eat it every day. But the queen mother doesn't let her run out every day. ”
Children speak innocently and do not shy away from their gluttony.
"After all, it's not safe for you to come out alone, and it's normal for your parents to be worried, what about your sister? Did she like the gift she gave last time? ”
The little guy nodded again and again: "Well, my sister likes it very much, and she takes that mirror every day." By the way, big brother, I heard that you wrote a poem very well, right? The whole Chang'an is singing. ”
"Oh? What poem? ”
"That's it! Hehe, my sister asked people to copy it down and read it every day, and I learned to memorize the first few sentences with her. ”
Burst...... Xiao Rui didn't expect his dad to act so fast?
"Big brother, sister said, let you write a poem for her too, it should be as good as this."
Burst...... What's that? Co-author, you came today with a mission? Xiao Rui wondered, Princess Xiangcheng is not sick, right? What do you want me to do with poetry? I'll give you a mirror, you don't mean anything, you open your mouth and ask for something? It seems that what the second brother said is right, women, you can't get used to it!
Xiao Rui said with a straight face: "Go back and tell your sister that I am very busy and have no time to compose poetry." ”
Yes?
Xiao Changle didn't expect this, if he couldn't get the poem back...... How can you deal with your father?
"Woo...... What should I do? My sister said let me bring back a piece of your poem, or she wouldn't let me go home......"
Well, the little guy sat on the ground and cried.
Xue Li persuaded: "Big brother, you have so many posts about practicing calligraphy, just take out a random one to coax her, what are you doing bullying a little girl?" ”
Helpless, Xiao Rui had no choice but to surrender, Xiao Changle got the promise, got up with a smile and continued to work, and then looked at the corner of his eye, where was there half a tear? What a clever little ghost.
At night, in the palace palace, Li Ernian's voice was affectionate and powerful, "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, the spring breeze blows Revlon, if it is not for the jade mountain, it will meet Yaotai ~ under the moon!" ”
"Yo! Erlang's poetry is prosperous, and it also has to be a masterpiece! Empress Changsun didn't know what to do, and praised it.
Li Erlao's face flushed, "This is not a poem written by me. It was written by Xiao Rui's kid to Xiangcheng, hum, this kid has good talents, he doesn't need to contribute to the country, but he likes to dance and write, and I don't know how many women from good families will be harmed in the future......"
"Qian'er, you go and tell Xiao Rui tomorrow to write a poem for your sister Xiangcheng every day. I haven't seen that kind of chivalrous object today, and the font used in this poem is too delicate and not good. ”
What??? You let the hostage go......
Empress Eldest Sun completely figured it out, where is Xiao Rui making poems? It is clearly a poem that you deceived from Xiao Rui in the name of your eldest daughter.
Xiao Changle cried and sat on the ground, "Woo, one song a day?" How can the big brother give it to me! Father, I won't go, I'll never go again......"
Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly hugged her daughter to comfort her, and persuaded her: "Erlang, you like Xiao Rui's poems, just let him make one occasionally." Why bother children? ”
"You've seen that kid too, he looks like he doesn't leave his hands, what is poetry, I have to find a way to make him out." Li Er looked very dissatisfied.
"Then send someone to set his marriage with Xiangcheng and become your son-in-law, can you drive it?"
Li Er snorted coldly: "I asked Xiao Yu to take the child into the palace, but he hasn't done it yet." Is it possible to let me lead my daughter to the door to beg him? ”
The queen smiled, "Xiao Rui is a great talent, and he deserves your condescension." In fact, it is worth him to like Xiangcheng, just send someone who is familiar with both sides and be a matchmaker. ”
Well? Matchmaking? Li Er's eyes lit up.
Early the next morning, the general Cheng Zhijie came to the Song Guogong Mansion and said his joy repeatedly.
After explaining the intention, Xiao Yu hit it off and immediately accepted it, so on the day of the court meeting, the emperor ordered someone to announce the decree: to marry the princess of Xiangcheng and the eldest son of the Duke of Song, Xiao Rui, and named Xiao Rui as the captain of the horse, from the five products.
The court hall was full of joy, and the ministers privately discussed that the emperor was still quick to see the opportunity, Xiao Rui's poetry was all over Chang'an, and the future was unlimited, this is definitely the first choice to be a son-in-law.
Back home, Xiao Yu ordered someone to call back his wife who was on vacation at the farm, and then began to arrange the six ceremonies nervously.
At this time, the housekeeper of the Song Guogong Mansion came to report, "Master, it's not good, I don't know what evil things have happened in the past two days, our business shops have all been squeezed by people's means, and several prosperous shops have lost their business before they see it." ”
"Huh? What's going on? His Majesty just gave Rui'er a marriage, and it was the time to use the money, but something went wrong with this stall? Who is targeting our Xiao family? Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows.
The housekeeper whispered: "The other party did it very cautiously and did not catch the substantive handle." But I sent someone to follow up and found that the people who dealt with us were all from the shop of the eldest grandson's family, and nine times out of ten it was the uncle's mansion. ”
Uncle Guo's Mansion? The eldest grandson Wuji? I, Xiao Yu, have no grudges with him in the past and no enmity in the near future, why should he harm me?
The housekeeper lowered his voice and said, "Master, the grapevine news that the eldest prince of the Uncle Mansion suffered a big loss outside not long ago, and he was beaten up. Moreover, there are rumors among the people that it was the eldest son of our family who did it. ”
What??? Is there such a thing?
"It's the last time we Zhuangzi encountered mountain bandits, and now it seems that if it wasn't a mountain bandit at that time, it is very likely that it was someone from Uncle Guo's mansion......"
"Someone, call Xiao Banshan, he went to support at that time, it should be clear."
After asking the whole story clearly, Xiao Yu took the case, "His eldest grandson Wuji is so bold, he committed murder, and he dared to retaliate afterwards?" Is it true that Xiao Yu is muddy? Come on, call the big shopkeeper of the Xiao family in Lanling, I want to see how rich his eldest grandson's family is? Isn't it just a salt and iron business? I, the Lanling Xiao Clan, may not be afraid of you. ”
Xiao Yu would never have imagined that it was not the eldest grandson Wuji who suppressed him in business, but Xiao Yu's own son, Xiao Rui, who threatened to pay his father's salary and had a backlash in the back of his head!
