Chapter 129 Second Master

Mr. Xiao is tall and elegant, with only a pair of phoenix eyes that are similar to Xiao Fushan, and is introverted. He is wearing a crow-green silk and a navy blue cloak. Although he is rushing on the road, his whole body is meticulous.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt in front of Mrs. Xiao and kowtowed three times, "Mother, son is back."

The old lady helped him up in tears, "It's only been a month since then, and I've seen it get much darker and thinner."

Mr. Xiao helped the old lady sit down and said gently, "Mother, you feel sorry for your son. You always feel wronged when you are outside."

The voice is calm and gentle, but calm and powerful.

The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "You have been the most sensible since you were a child, so how can I not feel sorry for you? You have met your elder brother and sister-in-law first, sit down and talk."

Mr. Xiao invited Xiao Fushan to An, and Xiao Fushan introduced him to Youzi, "This is your sister-in-law."

Youzi bowed to him, "Second uncle."

Mr. Xiao bowed to her, "Sister-in-law." His eyes did not stop on her, nor did he look stunning.

Xiao Fuyuan noticed the young man beside Xiao Fushan when he entered the door. He only knew that his elder brother had married a second wife, but he didn't expect that he was so young and seemed to be a few years older than Yongcheng. However, it was indeed a beautiful country. He had been in the officialdom for many years and had developed a skill of observing words and expressions in detail. Xiao Fushan attached great importance to this new lady, and even protected him as a protector when he paid his respects. He believed that he would not escape his eyes if he showed any strange look.

Youhua asked Huiyun and Yongqing to salute Mr. Xiao. Youhua has been trying to teach them to salute and greet people these days.

Hui Yun bowed to Mr. Xiao in a regular manner and asked for peace.

Yongqing was held by the wet nurse, looked at Youfeng, and she was looking at him with a smile. He clearly shouted to Mr. Xiao, "Second Uncle."

Mr. Xiao was in the impression that Yongqing could not speak. At this time, he was a little surprised and responded with a smile. He smiled and said, "My second uncle also brought you the famous peach jelly in Lingshan and the whole set of clay men. He brought it back and let the servants send it to you."

Huiyun smiled a little. Every time her second uncle came back, he would bring her some small things, either for food or for fun. "Thank you, my second uncle. Is that clay man colorful?"

This was the first time Huiyun took the initiative to talk to him. Mr. Xiao said gently, "It's colorful. Different clay men wear different clothes."

Hui Yun smiled happily and looked up and said to Youhua, "Mother, I will give you one at that time."

Youhua smiled and said, "Then I want to thank Huier first."

These two children have changed a lot and seem to be close to their stepmother. Mr. Xiao remained silent and said a few words to Mr. Xiao and his wife.

The eldest young master Yongcheng, the second young master Yongzhi, the second young lady Wanyun, the third young master Yong and the third young lady Manyun all invited An. The room was full of people, and the old lady looked at it with a smile, without any depressed breath the previous few days.

The eldest son Yongcheng looks the most similar to him, and he looks calm and satisfied with it. Mr. Xiao patted his shoulder and said, "I'm getting taller, I'll take the exam in the past two days."

Yongcheng replied steadily, "Yes." He was not panicked at all at a young age.

Mr. Xiao smiled with satisfaction before he sat down and spoke.

Zhao stood beside her, her eyes were red, and she no longer had the usual laughter and scolding. She had never left him since she entered the door. No matter how strong she was, she was a little woman in front of her husband. At this time, she felt relieved when she saw her husband and became weak.

The old lady asked him how long it would take to complete the construction of the imperial tomb. He frowned slightly, "The original one will be completed soon. The emperor ordered the expansion to be made. If it is to be implemented, it will probably take two years to complete."

Xiao Fushan knew about this. Some memorials in the censor said that the continuous expansion of the imperial tombs wasted the people and the money was not done by the wise king. The emperor threw away the memorials. If the eunuch had not stopped him, the censor would have been beaten. If the slaughter was beaten, the emperor would have been afraid of being a foolish monarch.

The old lady sighed, but she was not good at saying anything about the emperor, and said, "Just do your errands well and don't talk much."

Xiao Fuyuan responded respectfully.

The brothers disappeared for a long time and had something to say. The female family took the children to avoid Dongjijian, while the three of them were left to talk to Xijijian.

Mr. Xiao said to Xiao Fushan, "I didn't expect you to be able to think about it and be willing to renew your marriage. Over the years, you have been pure and have no desires, and I thought you were lonely all your life."

Xiao Fushan smiled and shook his head, and after a while, he said, "She is very stupid. If she hadn't been protected by me, she wouldn't know what would happen."

Mr. Xiao looked at him in surprise, "It's rare for you to say this. I used to think you were very hard-hearted."

Thinking of the frightened eyes like deer in the snow, Xiao Fushan's face softened and his voice softened. "Maybe he didn't meet her."

Mr. Xiao said, "Speaking of this, I also met such a person..."

Master Xiao’s eyes lit up, “Second brother, I didn’t expect you to be more romantic than me. I’m going to fill another concubine.”

Mr. Xiao smiled faintly, "She is the concubine daughter who is not favored by the magistrate of Lingshan County. When she met her that day, she was bullied by her legitimate daughter. She could still salute as if nothing had happened when I saw me in the past. It was very interesting."

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "You are rare to be so soft-hearted."

Xiao Fushan asked, "You have always been cautious, why did you still end the official's concubine's daughter as a concubine?"

Xiao Fuyuan has been cautious since childhood. If he was not sure, he would not do this. When they were eight or nine years old, ice was formed in the lotus pond in winter, and he proposed to play on the ice. The children of several tribes went down, but he was only willing to watch on the shore. Later, the ice cracked and a child fell into the ice hole. He calmly commanded his servants to go down to save people on the shore. He found the servants who were good at water and waited there in advance. Later, he was beaten up by his father, and his mother made Xiao Fuyuan his favorite braised lion head.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm a good match." Mr. Xiao paused, "I've checked everything. The county magistrate came from a poor family and had no background. He had no connection with the court."

Xiao Fushan no longer talks about this matter. If he can say this, he must be sure. "Wang Songhe is going to retire. Do you know this matter? King Duan intends to recommend you to take over."

Mr. Xiao nodded, "Shangshu Wang sent me a letter a few days ago, mentioning this matter. He also intends to recommend me to the emperor to take over, but I resigned. The situation is turbulent and the undercurrent is surging. Judging from the current situation of the Xiao family, if I enter the cabinet again, it will be really a fire and cooking oil."

Xiao Fuyuan was a Jinshi of two and had been in the position of Minister of State for four years. His political achievements were good, so it was not easy for him to achieve this point. Now that he made such a sacrifice for the Xiao family, he had a great future, and he couldn't bear it.

Xiao Fushan was silent for a moment and said, "The situation is not so serious. Even if you don't enter the cabinet, the emperor will not be less afraid of the Xiao family. If you miss it this time, you won't know when you will have this opportunity again."

Mr. Xiao smiled, "When will my elder brother be so indecisive? If I want to enter the cabinet in the future, I will have my own way."

Xiao Fushan patted his shoulder, "I feel wronged."

The two of them discussed until the beginning of the lights and dinner.

Dinner was placed in the main courtyard flower hall. This was the first time that the young man had eaten together in several rooms after he got married.

Mrs. Xiao and her three sons sat at the same table, and the three sisters-in-law and the children had a table, and there was no screen in between. The old lady wanted to see the whole house of children and grandchildren.

The fourth lady Yiyun and the seventh young master Yonghui in the third room were also carried by the wet nurse, but the aunt did not allow her to come with her. Youzi only went to Xizuoji and the main courtyard every day, and several aunts from the East Crossing Hospital have not seen her.

The old lady hugged Yonghui for a while. He was only seven months old, so he babbled at the old lady, making the old lady laugh. The wet nurse took Yonghui away, and the old lady said, "I feel it's hard to hug him for a while. When Yongcheng was so old, I could still carry him around the garden."

Mr. Xiao took the wet veil from the maid and served the old lady to clean her hands. He said, "You are not old now. There are so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren waiting for you to hug you."

The old lady smiled, "You are like your wife, and you are the best at making me happy."

Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting next to her, kept paying attention to the movement here. He heard that there was a smile on his face and turned his head to look at Mr. Xiao. Seeing that he was just looking at the old lady with a smile, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
