The old woman quickly replied, "It's the young master of the Xiao family who I'm talking to the old lady about."
Mrs. Cui smacked her tongue slightly and couldn't understand why Xiao Yu suddenly asked for a visit. The two families had never had any contact, not to mention that Xiao Yu's situation was also somewhat special.
Two generations of the Xiao family have guarded Mobei for many years and are already the local emperors. The local people regard General Xiao as a god, because whenever foreigners invade Mobei, it is the Xiao family army who saves them.
The emperor was worried that the Xiao family was disloyal, so he summoned the Xiao family uncle and his eldest son Xiao Yu back to the capital five years ago. The Xiao family and his son stayed in the capital for more than ten days.
There was a lot of movement.
The outside world thought that the emperor was trying to win over the Xiao family, but little did they know that just when the Xiao family's uncle was about to return, he issued an imperial edict and kept Xiao Yu in the capital.
Rather than saying that Xiao Yu was the prince's companion, it was better to say that he was left as a hostage.
The eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Rudi, was attacked by foreigners on his way back to Mobei. Although he saved his life, he was lame in one leg and became a disabled person.
If an ordinary person becomes a lame, it will be a big deal and they will live in confusion. But if a general leading an army becomes a lame, it will be a big deal.
How can a lame man lead troops to fight? Even if he is to defend a city, will anyone be convinced?
If a person is not mentally strong, he may lose half his life after this incident. But Xiao Rudi is a person who does not believe in fate and dares to fight with fate. Although he is lame, he cannot lead troops out of the city on the battlefield.
Fighting, but he can also make training plans and do logistical work.
People always have to look forward.
Compared with Xiao Rudi, Xiao Yu's situation in the capital in the past five years is really not good. Although the emperor has never treated him badly, he is always on guard and testing. All his contacts with Mobei cannot escape the emperor's eyes.
If Xiao Yu had been more petty-minded and had a naughty personality, he would have grown up and become a playboy. But when Xiao Yu returned to Beijing, he was already sixteen years old and his character had been developed. The vast world of Mobei cultivated Xiao Yu into an upright person.
manly man.
In the past few years in the capital, Xiao Yu has always given people the impression that he is a handsome young man. He is also a little bit gangster, but the young master who comes from a family of military generals has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he is also a bit gangster.
Is it normal?
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu was already twenty-one years old. An ordinary person would have gotten married at this age. However, Xiao Yu was in a special situation. The Xiao family could not decide on his marriage. The emperor had promised him a marriage early in the morning, but
But he didn't point out any girl to him, so he kept dragging on.
Mrs. Cui's mind was spinning a thousand times, but she was waiting outside, so she didn't have much time to think about it.
"Bring me a message to the young master of the Xiao family, saying that all the people in our house are women. The girls are too old to see each other. Let him go to the house to pay homage to the Marquis when he is free in the future." He was not seen in the end.
.
The mother-in-law responded quickly, squatted down slightly, and hurried out to give Xiao Yu a reply.
Sure enough, I didn't see it.
Xiao Yu was not too disappointed after hearing what the mother-in-law said. His identity was indeed a bit embarrassing. He was in a high-ranking position in the Tiedanhou Palace, so it was understandable that he wanted to avoid suspicion.
But having said that, I still feel a little disappointed.
Xiao Yu turned around and walked out, only to run into Li Zhaoer and his group. Originally, Li Zhaoer also knew Xiao Yu. He was a frequent guest at banquets in various houses, and he had such a special status. It was difficult not to recognize him.
Li Zhaoer nodded slightly towards Xiao Yu. This was originally meant to be polite, so it's better to pretend not to see it! But who knew that Li Zhaoer's foot stepped on her skirt for some reason, and she jumped forward uncontrollably, just in time to hit it.
Xiao Yu's arms.
Xiao Yu was also stunned by this sudden embrace. He was afraid that Li Zhaoer would fall, so he instinctively stretched out his arms to hug her. As a result, the two of them did not stop and fell to each other.
Xiao Yu acted as a meat pad for Li Zhaoer below, and Li Zhaoer's face happened to fall on Xiao Yu's chest.
Although this temple is a place of spiritual cultivation, there are still many pilgrims who come here to offer incense on weekdays. There are many female relatives in the Zen room, and there are often people walking around, so I took a look at this scene.
The servants had mixed opinions, and soon rumors spread that the second girl of the Li family had thrown herself into his arms.
When Mrs. Cui got the news, she was discussing the vegetarian food list with Grandma Wang. After hearing this, her vision went dark and she fainted.
Grandma Wang was so shocked that she hurriedly wanted to ask Master Kuhai to come over and take a look. Unexpectedly, Li Maner, who was hiding in the corner, came over with a silver needle. Without waiting for Grandma Wang to say anything, he pricked her with the needle.
Go down.
Mrs. Cui actually woke up slowly, which made everyone around her extremely happy, especially Grandma Wang. Tears filled her eyes at the moment, and she clasped her hands together and muttered something to everyone around her.
"Old madam, how do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Ms. Cui was just out of breath, and she became normal after being given first aid by Li Man'er.
"Grandma, are you feeling uncomfortable? Are your hands numb?"
Grandma Wang quickly said: "You fainted just now. It was the eldest lady who saved you with the acupuncture."
Mrs. Cui waved her hand and asked: "What about the evil barrier? Where is Xiao Yu?"
"Grandma, don't worry. Second sister has come back. Everything is fine. It's far from what those people outside said. As for Master Xiao, he is kneeling outside to apologize!"
Ms. Cui sighed, knowing that there was probably no room for change in this matter. The reason why she didn't see Xiao Yu was because she was afraid that she would be involved with the Xiao family at this critical moment, which would make her uncomfortable. It was better now, in full public view.
Even if she wanted to cut off the relationship, no one would believe her.
Ms. Cui was so anxious that she immediately decided to go back home quickly and discuss how to deal with it separately.
"Pack up and go back home." She thought for a moment and then said: "As for Master Xiao, don't have too much contact with him for the time being. Let him go back first!"
The servants took action.
The Li family's carriage came and went in a hurry, leaving only chicken feathers behind it.
Li Maner, who had not spoken much, felt that the situation in front of him was interesting. How could two people want to plot against the Li family? Could it be that there is some ulterior secret in the Tiedanhou Mansion?
In a secret house on the back hill of Ganzhao Temple, Qi Yihan reached out and poured himself a cup of tea.
The fragrance of tea overflows and you can drink it all in one gulp.
Ah Wu's eyebrows moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The character cannot be destroyed.
"If you want to ask, just ask."
Ah Wu thought for a long time, "Master, the person Xiao Yu wants to scheme against is Miss Li, right?"
"What do you think?"
Ah Wu kept silent. Anyway, he couldn't understand now. Who is this Miss Li? How could she be worthy of those people's actions?
It seems that even his own prince looks at her differently!
Qi Yihan put down his teacup and said, "None of these people are fools, but they look like fools to everyone."
