Chapter 112: Make good use of good talents, and those who can live in them

The grandparents and grandchildren were chatting happily when the second master and his wife, the third wife, the new Duke's wife Ling, the fourth wife and Xiao Siyi all arrived.

After all, Mr. Xiao was already over sixty years old. After the family had been busy for nearly half an hour, he couldn't stand it any longer, and his face looked tired.

The second master hurriedly said: "It's getting late, and my father will go to the palace tomorrow morning. My son will send you back to your room to rest."

Old Duke Xiao said with a smile: "You are too old to be of any use. You all should go back and rest. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it at the family dinner tomorrow."

Everyone sent the old Duke out of Fuze Hall, and then they went back to their rooms.

Xiao Bi and Xiao Siyi also planned to leave, but Xiao Xuan called them to them.

"Xiao Jiu, it's still early, why don't you go to Fifth Brother's place for a cup of tea?"

Xiao Siyi smiled and said: "Xiao Wu, do you think I'm an eyesore? Or do you have any secrets that my aunt can't hear?"

Xiao Xuan and she were born in the same year, and are a little older in months. In addition, they grew up together, so they are aunt-nephew in name, but in fact they are almost brother and sister.

He hurriedly argued: "There is no secret, I'm just afraid that we chat too late and affect my little aunt's rest.

Since you are willing to reward me, let’s go to Wenlan Garden together.”

On the other hand, Xiao Bi had a look of reluctance: "Xiao Xiaowu, are you really good at telling lies with your eyes open? It's already past midnight and it's still early?"

As she spoke, she yawned loudly: "Anyway, you won't leave for a while. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm so sleepy that I want to go back to sleep."

In fact, she wasn't too sleepy, she was just thinking about going to the Yudai River to enjoy the moon tomorrow night.

If you don’t sleep well tonight, where will you have energy tomorrow night?

How could Xiao Xuan believe what she said, so he couldn't help but grab her arm: "Really, after having second brother Huan, I forgot about fifth brother. Who forced me to chat with her until late at night?

My little aunt has all agreed to go, but you want to spoil everyone’s interest.”

Xiao Bi couldn't struggle and could only be dragged forward by him.

However, her mouth was not idle, and she muttered as she walked: "Xiao Xiaowu, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your ability to mistake a deer for a horse is getting better and better...

My little aunt obviously wants to go on her own, so how can she agree to it?"

Xiao Siyi pursed her lips and smiled happily, telling Shen Yan and Shu Xiang to go back first, and she quickened her pace to follow.

When the three of them arrived at Wenlan Garden, the servants Qingye and Yanxin were already waiting at the door with their servants.

The two of them returned to the capital three days ago and had already arranged Xiao Xuan's residence.

Qingye let the three of them into the study: "Little Fifth Master, it's cold in the yard. If you have anything to say, you'd better go inside and talk."

Yan Xin quickly went to prepare hot tea and snacks.

The study room was extremely spacious, and the three of them each found a comfortable place to sit down.

Xiao Xuan only thought about what his grandfather said before, but it was difficult to talk about such things, let alone in front of Xiao Siyi.

He could only put this matter aside for a while and looked at Xiao Bi with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, you are very nimble with your hands and feet!"

Xiao Bi frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Xuan smiled and said: "Before, you and Brother Huan served as captains of the Qilin Guard together. It can be said that you never looked up and looked down.

But I didn't see that you had that kind of interest in him at that time, so why did you suddenly get engaged?

Is Fifth Brother too blind, or have you hidden it too deeply and deceived everyone?

Or what did you do to Brother Huan during the time when you two left Beijing?"

"Little aunt." Xiao Bi tugged on Xiao Siyi's sleeve: "Listen to what Xiao Xiaowu is saying, making it seem like I am a bully who robs civilian girls!"

Xiao Siyi said with a smile: "Xiaowu may be rough-minded, but my aunt also really wants to know how a person who has no interest in getting married is suddenly so anxious to get married?"

Xiao Bi said: "You all know the reason. I was bullied by Wei Yuan, so I had no choice but to make that promise.

A true man promises a lot of money, and since Brother Huan has found the antidote, of course I will fulfill my promise and marry him."

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Siyi: "Little aunt, do you believe this?"

Xiao Siyi shook her head: "I would believe it if it were any other girl, our Xiaojiu..."

"Hey, hey -" Xiao Bi said angrily: "You two stayed up late at night, so it turned out that you worked together to bring me here for interrogation?"

Xiao Xuan continued with a smile: "This is not an interrogation, we just want to know what you really think.

Are you willing to marry Brother Huan just to repay your kindness, or are you really attracted to him?"

Xiao Siyi also said: "Xiaojiu, my little aunt is barely here, so I don't want you to follow my old path.

You must not marry someone you don't like, otherwise you will mislead others and mislead yourself."

Of course Xiao Bi knew that her aunt and fifth brother really cared about her, but she just felt a little weird.

One of these two people is unmarried and the other is unmarried, and they don’t even have a sweetheart.

Why do they act like experienced people when talking about this kind of thing in front of me?

It’s just a little aunt, no matter what, she still experienced it once.

But Xiao Xiaowu?

When this guy sees the ladies, it's like seeing a ghost. He always hides as far away as possible.

He knows nothing about the relationship between men and women!

She raised her chin an inch: "Do you think I am the kind of person who uses myself to repay a favor? If Wei Yuan had found the antidote, I would never become the Crown Princess of Rong."

Xiao Xuan was stunned.

He also found the antidote and was unwilling to marry Wei Yuan but was willing to marry Huan Yu.

If any other girl had said this, he would have just thought she was shy, so she would answer the question in a roundabout way.

But his Xiaojiu is straight-tempered and has never understood what shyness is.

So...does she like Huan Yu?

Xiao Xuan felt that he was a little confused.

Xiao Siyi's thoughts are much simpler.

After hearing Xiaojiu admit that she liked Mr. Huan with her own ears, she completely let go of her mental arithmetic.

Seeing that both of them were silent, Xiao Bi suddenly remembered what she had said to her grandfather in Yanmen County a few months ago.

She approached Xiao Xuan with a smile: "Little Fifth Brother, my grandfather is getting old. I'm afraid he will stay in Beijing to take care of himself from now on, right?"

Xiao Xuan's eyelids trembled. What kind of harm did the little girl want to do?

Xiao Bi smiled even brighter: "The army cannot be without a commander. My grandfather has returned to Beijing, so his position needs someone to take his place."

"Xiaojiu, you will marry to Tianshui County soon."

Of course Xiao Xuan knows his sister's ambitions, and he never rejects the competition between Xiao Jiu and him.

If good talents are put to good use, those who are capable will live there.

Whoever wins will take over the military power from his grandfather, which is a good thing for Yanmen County and the Wei Dynasty.

But now the situation has changed, Xiaojiu will soon become the wife of the Huan family.
