When I returned to Lingyun Garden, I heard the spring flower report that Grandma Sun from Mrs. Xiao's side had come in the morning.

Xuanbao asked people to go to Qinseyuan to report to her mother that she had returned home, and then she turned around and went straight to Fushouyuan with Dongxue and Xiayu.

When Mama Sun saw Xuanbao coming, she greeted her with a smile: "I went to Lingyunyuan in the morning, and I heard that the county lord went to Yongchang Palace, and it was not too early to see that the old lady was talking about you just now." ”

"Knowing that my grandmother is worried, I will come directly when I go home."

Xuanbao walked towards the flower hall under the guidance of Grandma Sun, and the two chatted as they walked.

"Grandma Sun, who's outside." The old lady inside asked when she heard a voice outside.

"Grandmother, it's Xuanbao, I'm back."

"Just came back?"

"yes." Xuan Bao walked up to Mrs. Xiao and sat down obediently after saluting, "I went straight to you before I changed my clothes." ”

"Why be in such a hurry? In the evening, it will be the same if Ming'er comes over again. Mrs. Xiao muttered, but she was quite satisfied that Xuanbao would come back immediately.

Xuan Bao replied with a smile: "I heard that Grandma Sun was ordered to go to Lingyun Yuan, I'm afraid that my grandmother will find me for something important." ”

"Something, indeed." After speaking, Mrs. Xiao glanced at the door.

Grandma Sun immediately motioned for all the maids waiting in the flower hall to retreat, and then she glanced at Xia Yu and Dong Xue.

After getting Xuanbao's consent, the two maids also followed Mama Sun and retreated.

"Xuanbao, sit down." Old Taijun Xiao beckoned to Xuanbao.

"I haven't changed my clothes yet, I'm dirty, I'm afraid I'll stain your clothes." As he spoke, Xuan Bao moved a low stool close to the chair where Mrs. Xiao was sitting, and then the little doll sat down.

Mrs. Xiao turned her body sideways, looking down at the little doll with her hands on the armrests of her chair and supporting her cheeks.

"Grandmother, you say, I'll listen."

Hearing this, Old Taijun Xiao sank his face: "You're right, your eldest brother is wrong." ”

"Grandmother can be sure?" Xuanbao's heart was bright, but he still couldn't help but ask.

Old Mrs. Xiao showed a helpless smile: "Your mother is weak, and after your eldest brother was born, it can be said that he was raised together in Qinseyuan and Fushouyuan, and he will come to me almost every day." ”

Xuanbao nodded but didn't answer, just listened quietly to his grandmother.

"About ten years old, our grandparents and grandchildren see each other every day, he is my first grandson, a veritable eldest son and grandson, and he grew up in front of me, we have a close relationship, and naturally there are little secrets between grandparents and grandchildren."

Hearing this, Xuan Bao had already guessed it, and estimated that the fake big brother was revealing his stuff in front of his grandmother, saying that he didn't know the secret or said something that shouldn't be said.

Old Taijun Xiao suddenly asked, "Xuanbao, guess what is the most disgusting thing about Ke Zhong's beating of Xiao?" ”

"I can't guess that." Xuan Bao touched his head, "I haven't been back home for a long time, and I hate my eldest brother, so I don't have any friendship at all." ”

"You're telling the truth." Mrs. Xiao asked herself, "What your eldest brother is most disgusted by is that he wants to continue to take the throne." ”

Xuan Bao was stunned for a moment: "The eldest brother is the eldest son of his father, isn't it natural for him to inherit the throne?" ”

"Since the beginning of enlightenment and sensibility, Ke Xiao told me privately that he does not want to practice martial arts, he wants to follow literature, and he wants to rely on his own ability to participate in the imperial examination and gain fame."

Grandmother vaguely heard who said this, Xuanbao's mind flashed, and Xiao Youduo's figure appeared in front of her eyes. “

"When I was a child, because I refused to practice martial arts, your father beat Kezhong more than once, and every time he came to Fushouyuan, the little man hugged me with tears in his eyes but his face was full of stubbornness and said that I am not a general, I am not a marquis, I want to take the top prize."

"He's showing a flaw in front of you." Xuanbao is not asking, but affirming.

Old Taijun Xiao nodded heavily: "He said that it is natural for him to inherit the throne as the eldest son." ”

"Grandmother, maybe when you grow up, your mind changes."

"I also thought about what you said, and I took the opportunity to ask him what his plans for the future are?"

Xuan Bao was interested: "Oh, then how did he answer?" ”

"He said that when your father comes back this time, he will follow him to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make achievements."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"No, it's not right." Old Taijun Xiao shook his head again and again, "Even if Ke Zhong changes his mind and wants to inherit the throne, he will never fight on the battlefield." ”

Xuan Bao was confused: "Why? ”

"Even your father and mother don't know this secret, because your eldest brother is bleeding."

"Bloodsickness!" Xuan Bao's eyes widened, and a bloodied man said that he was going to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, which was indeed incredible.

Mrs. Xiao sighed long: "I didn't move after listening to it, and left him to dine with me." ”

"He's showing his feet."

"Yes, I secretly instructed Grandma Sun to let the kitchen add a dish of pig's blood cake to the dishes that came up."

"He ate the pig's blood cake."

"Yes."

At this time, there is still something I don't understand, at the moment, this Xiao Kezhong is not the real Xiao Kezhong.

Even if he picks at the fifth brother who looks at himself everywhere, Xuanbao does not back down on his lips, but he can still feel blood and family affection in his heart.

But for the so-called eldest brother, Xuan Baoda has no feeling since they met, if there is, it is that the little doll always feels that he is Xiao Mingzhu's eldest brother, not his own eldest brother.

"Xuanbao, I've taken a closer look, and he's obviously loyal." Old Taijun Xiao grabbed Xuanbao's small hand and frowned, "But he is not faithful." ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, it can't be fake, it can't be fake." Xuan Bao patted Mrs. Xiao's hand comfortingly.

Seeing that Old Taijun Xiao gradually calmed down, Xuan Baocai asked: "Grandmother, if you think about it carefully, is it different from the eldest brother before and after falling into the water?" ”

Thinking about it carefully, although it was ten years ago, Xiao Kezhong was Xiao Taijun's most beloved grandson, and the scene at that time is still vivid in my mind.

"That's right, you're right, that's it." Mrs. Xiao muttered to herself, "At that time, Ke Zhong fell into a coma after falling into the water, and after waking up, he lay on the bed for several days. He was not as intimate with me as he used to be, and I thought that I was frightened, and I didn't take it to heart. ”

"Is it that since then, he hasn't come to Fukujuin every day?"

Old Taijun Xiao nodded slightly: "That's right, at first, I was sympathetic to him and asked him not to come, but later after he got better, the number of times he came to Fushouyuan gradually decreased, and later it became less and less or even a handful." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao was embarrassed, and after a moment of silence, her tone was full of doubt: "However, if you are pretending, it is impossible to look exactly the same, and it is impossible to know the situation of our mansion well." ”

"Since my grandmother is sure that the eldest brother is not the eldest brother, I don't have to have many scruples." Xuanbao's eyes flashed.

Old Taijun Xiao was shocked: "Xuanbao, you? ”
