As the pillar of the Duke's palace and a light that pointed the way for the two children, Xiao Jing was worried about their health when they were young, and worried about their marriage when they were older.
My son is a warrior who lives in the battlefield, and his own life is precarious, so why should he be tempted by his daughter's family?
In his own words, "Why should the Northern Barbarians call home before they are destroyed?"
However, Xiao Jing knew that this guy must have copied these words from those piles of military history books. How could he say such bold words with just a little bit of ink?
It's obviously just to deal with him, an old guy, and not want to find him a daughter-in-law.
But he thought about it and let it go. After all, starting a family had to be determined by karma. Wasn't it the same between him and Qingzhu?
If his son doesn't want to find her, then he will find it for his delicate and frail daughter!
Unexpectedly, the son is not enlightened, but the daughter is enlightened too early.
Who does she like badly?
I just like Feng Yehan’s stinky stone!
Isn't it just a stinky stone? It's the kind that doesn't contain oil and salt. It's useless for him as an uncle to say anything!
Although he is an older generation, he also knows that unrequited love will not lead to happiness. Forcing Feng Yehan to be with his daughter will harm both of them.
So he is in a dilemma, one head is bigger than the other!
However, the Empress Dowager Hua and the group of jackals in the court frequently acted like monsters, forcing him to send his daughter to the capital.
At first, he didn't agree with anything. After all, he knew that he had a heavy army and the capital city would be a dragon's pool and a tiger's den to his daughter.
And with the body of my daughter, if we say goodbye today, it may be difficult to see her again in the future.
But in the end he agreed.
Because his daughter entered his study in person and begged him with tears to put aside her selfishness and let her go to the capital.
"Dad, this is your daughter's fate. She will go regardless of whether you agree or not."
Xiao Jing still remembers her daughter's words and the gentle yet firm light in her eyes.
As a father, he said it was impossible not to feel pain.
But my daughter has made up her mind, and he can't be the evil person who stops her.
He originally thought that this trip was destined to be a disaster for his daughter, but he didn't expect that it was actually a disaster for his daughter...
God knows how many questions he had in his mind when he and his son received a sealed letter from Xue Xue, saying that his daughter might have a romantic relationship with someone else, and that she still fell in love with the puppet little emperor.
He doesn't understand.
I really don't understand.
Doesn’t her daughter love Feng Yehan to death and is willing to give everything for that boy?
Why did he change as soon as he went to the capital?
However, when he and his son put it together, he heard from his son that the puppet emperor was so good-looking that even a man could be regarded as the most beautiful woman in Dayan.
"Are you sure? Have you seen it before? You didn't lie to your father or me?"
"Tsk, that's what everyone in Yanjing City says."
Although his son did not pat his chest and promise him, after a brief investigation, he accepted the fact that his son said that the emperor was good-looking.
He is just a puppet emperor anyway. As long as his daughter likes him, it doesn't matter if he can be recruited back as his son-in-law in the future.
It can be said that at that time, he actually had no idea how good-looking the little emperor was.
After all, he is a warrior, and in his eyes only his first wife Qingzhu is the most beautiful.
Until today's surprising glimpse, his mind was instantly covered by the word "no wonder".
She has peach blossom eyes and snowy jade skin. When she doesn't move, she is as beautiful as the spring scenery in the garden. When she raises her eyes, they are cold and sharp, and she has a certain energy that is not revealed.
Beautiful, really beautiful.
If it were a woman, this would be a disaster.
Of course, men are also a problem...
Otherwise, how could she make her daughter fly into the flames and use the strength of the Xiao family to wish him to take over the imperial power?
Fortunately, this child is also kind-hearted, and he really cares for them Ruoruo, otherwise his father-in-law would not have a good temper...
"It's cold, go in and sit, everyone, please go in and sit."
Since his son-in-law was still hiding his identity, Xiao Jing followed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister and took his daughter's hand to the mansion.
As he walked, he glanced at his daughter and found that the girl kept looking behind her. Needless to say who she was looking at.
That's all for the daughter, but the son beside him actually didn't follow him obediently, but was whispering to the cold-faced girl next to him.
Even though the girl ignored him, he still shamelessly approached her.
Tsk, they are all his Xiao Jing's sons as expected. They are exactly the same as when he chased their mother!
The Duke's Mansion is very different from the residences of major officials in the capital.
If the residences of other officials are either majestic or graceful and restrained, then the Duke's residence probably has only one word - "prime".
There are no flowers where there should be flowers, and there are no trees where trees should be planted. They are bare, and wooden stakes and weapon racks used by warriors to lay down the foundation can be seen everywhere.
Moreover, the Xiao family is indeed poor. They have spent a lot of money to support the army in recent years. Most of the valuable items given by the previous emperor and the previous emperor have been sold.
This family also talks about the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, saying that the things rewarded by the emperor must not be sold, after all, this is a taboo against decapitation!
But the Xiao family has no such concept at all. In the words of Xiao Jing, Duke Xiao, if they cannot defend Beiliang, the emperor's throne will not be secure.
So in order to protect our country, what’s wrong with selling some of the emperor’s things?
In short, if you sell them year after year, no matter how many exquisite items you have, they will be sold out.
This also resulted in the current appearance of the Duke's Mansion, which was without any splendor or grandeur. Feng Wuyan, who was following Xiao Xiruo, frowned.
It was not that he had not understood the plight of the Xiao family, but he did not expect that the Xiao family had become so depressed.
It can be said that if the lucky star of the little sick ghost hadn't come, it would have been difficult to hold on to the Beiliang front line.
Because the three major factions in the past regarded the Xiao family as a thorn in their flesh, let alone helping the Xiao family, it would be good if they did not harm the Xiao family behind their backs.
As for himself who has never thought about protecting Dayan, if he doesn't harm the Xiao family, he probably won't help the Xiao family either.
On the one hand, the Xiao family has to face a shortage of military expenditures, and on the other hand, it has to guard against the erosion of Beiyi spies. You can only imagine how difficult it was for them in the previous life.
At a certain moment, he suddenly thought, if he were Xiao Xiruo, who was originally powerless against anything, would he also want to hire someone like a little sick ghost to take over his life and protect the people he wants to protect?
Woolen cloth?
"Ayan, what are you thinking about?"
A fair and slender hand waved in front of Feng Wuyan, and the girl approached him with some doubts, as if waiting for him to speak.
And he didn't realize until this moment that all the people who came out to greet them, including Xiao Jing and Xiao Yi, were stopping outside the lobby door, seeming to be waiting quietly for something.
Obviously, they were waiting for him and Xiao Xiruo.
The people who are still standing here at this moment are all close associates of the Xiao family, a group of people who are die-hardly loyal to the Xiao family, so of course they also know that the Xuanyi guard who has been standing beside the imperial concubine and fending off other people for her is actually
He is the Nine-Five-Year-Old Lord of Dayan.
The emperor can give in without speaking, but they can't be careless.
This is the Xiao family, the patriotic, propriety-abiding, sincere, and simple Xiao family.
