Chapter 97 Rain falls on rouge and tears, pear blossoms play with begonias (21)
A playful voice mixed with a smile came in
When Mr. Wang heard this familiar voice, his eyes widened instantly. He stood up and walked over with a smile: "Oh, my little darling~"
Xiao He twitched the corner of his lips, avoided the old man's intimacy, and said straight to the point: "Old man Wang, if you want to talk to me about anything, just tell me directly, and don't lie about it."
The old man hesitated for a while and asked all the maids and servants to leave.
"Xiao He, then I'll tell you straight." The old man glanced at Xiao He and pretended to sigh: "Isn't your third uncle taking the imperial examination today? The emperor is the closest to you, so you promote him.
Your third uncle is an official, but he has never passed the imperial examination in the past few years. You know it is quite difficult for him."
Xiao He's eyes curled up with a cold expression on his lips.
The Wang family started in business and became a wealthy royal merchant because of his father.
Now that you have no ability and want to be an official, do you think of him?
He had heard from his aunt since he was a child that he disliked his mother and concubine very much. Their brothers also bullied his mother all day long and refused to give her food. The old man was worried about Du Ming and he deliberately let it go.
If his mother hadn't accidentally saved the prince's life and they fell in love at first sight, nothing would have happened to him later.
Once it flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix, all the people who had ignored it came over and licked their faces to ask for blessings and help from their mother and concubine.
These people are really as thick-skinned as a city wall...
I just don’t know if these people are related to the people who set fire to kill his father, queen, mother, and concubines. If they are really related-just wait and see!
Xiao He practiced the sharpness of his eyes, and sat down on the pearwood chair casually, crossing his legs: "You are overthinking, I am not his biological son, why don't he get close to all his biological sons?"
"Besides, I'm just a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Even if I talk to the emperor, it won't be of any use. Do I know what it means to be an official or not?"
Mr. Wang flattered Xiao He in a friendly manner: "Xiao He, just give it a try! Say something nice in front of the emperor. You often mention it to the emperor, even if he doesn't listen, he will remember it."
"Is it annoying for the emperor to say it often? I'm stupid and if I say something wrong, I'm afraid ten heads won't be enough to chop off—"
Xiao He acted like a swordsman and waved his hand to deliberately scare Mr. Wang. After speaking, he laughed innocently.
Mr. Wang really looked bad.
What Xiao He said is indeed correct. If he were to say something good or bad, wouldn't their family be implicated?
It took a lot of effort for him to climb up to where he is now, but he can't lose the big for the small.
The third child doesn't know how to study hard on weekdays, he just pretends to be a temporary person, thinking about flying into the sky all day long and dreaming of becoming the No. 1 scholar.
You fart, I won’t help you, I’ll go to hell on my own!
When you get back, tell him to eat the book by himself!
Mr. Wang lost his temper: "Xiao He'er, don't worry about your third uncle's business. Your uncle is a small county magistrate in Qingyuan. He lives in a remote and remote area. Emperor Tiangao can't see him twice a year, so you just can't see him twice a year.
Just ask him in front of the emperor to transfer your uncle to a place away from the imperial city as an official, so that our family can be reunited~"
Uncle?
Xiao He hadn't heard of this person for a long time and almost forgot about it. After a while, he remembered that it was the uncle who had been running back and forth on the way to being demoted.
He curled his lips in a funny way: "This official is doing a good job." - I'm afraid he has offended many powerful people.
"How come it's not bad? It's so bad. I ran around and ended up in that place where birds don't poop!"
When Mr. Wang mentioned his eldest son, his unsatisfactory son, he became angry and choked up in his heart: "He has a bad temper like a stone in a latrine. I teach him to be flexible on weekdays. If he refuses to live and die, he will admit his own death!"
Xiao He said sarcastically: "Isn't there a second uncle?"
Mr. Wang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He was very pleased when he thought about his second brother: "Only your second uncle can live up to his expectations."
There was a smile on Xiao He's lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Why do you think so much all day long? If you have money, food and drink, just squander it, and you care about them? My uncles may not be happy either~"
Mr. Wang was choked for a moment and didn't know what to say.
I cursed secretly in my heart: Xiao He, this wolf-hearted thing!
My family won’t help, bah, you’re a white-eyed wolf!
Just like Feng Yatou, it’s all for nothing, what a waste!
On the surface, he had to smile and get closer, thinking that it would be easier to say some things later, "Xiao He'er, there will be a family dinner in a few days, you must come!"
Xiao He raised his eyebrows, looking at the old man's expression which was funny: "Go, why not go?"
"Okay, okay!"
The old man laughed so hard that he looked like a big clucking rooster. The luxurious and fancy clothes matched him perfectly.
—
Luo Qian had just arrived at the front yard, and when she saw that there was no other maid Xiao Si around, she walked in with some hesitation.
The little maid just told her that the young prince asked her to go to the front hall, but there was no one there. Could it be that she was lying to her?
Probably not, after all, no one dares to use the young prince’s words to bluff anyone——
Luo Qian's thoughts were instantly interrupted by a burst of laughter, which came from the front hall.
It’s the young prince, that’s right!
The woman walked into the luxurious front hall with light steps and saw a little old man and the young prince talking about something.
When Xiao He saw her, he immediately waved and motioned for her to come over: "Let me introduce to you, this is the princess, Luo Qian."
Luo Qian heard Xiao He's words as soon as she walked over. She felt like a pie fell from the sky and hit her. She was a little surprised and nervous...but she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
She raised her eyes and looked at the handsome profile of the young prince, a bit of obsession flashed in her eyes, and let him hold her in his arms.
When I thought about the outsider, I buried my head in his chest in embarrassment, and my exposed ears turned red.
"Old man, you've already met my future princess, why don't you express your gratitude?"
The way Mr. Wang looked at them, the handsome boy, the beautiful girl, the talented girl seemed to be a good match, but he didn't know what the girl's background was...
Xiao He saw what the old man wanted to ask and immediately interrupted him: "Or do you think the princess I chose is not worthy of the Wang family?"
When Luo Qian heard this, she thought about her identity again. She was just a lowly maid. How could she be worthy of such a proud man like him?
Seeing the sadness and emotion in Xiao He's eyes, the fingers holding the young man's sleeves tightened a little, and he whispered in a low voice: "Little Prince."
Xiao He smiled and rubbed her soft hair, looking at Mr. Wang with sharp eyes.
"Xiao He'er, that's not what I meant. Of course I have prepared gifts, and they must be good gifts. I will order them to be delivered to you tomorrow!"
Mr. Wang smiled, then took off the Buddhist string from his wrist, and took Luo Qian's hand affectionately: "Girl, this is a gift prepared by grandpa for you. It's not worth much. It's just a gift I prayed for in the temple."
, ask a famous master to give it a blessing, which can protect you and keep you safe for the rest of your life."
Luo Qian looked at the string of beads and felt that it was valuable even though she didn't know the goods. She couldn't accept it anymore. She reached out to return it to Mr. Wang, but Xiao He held it down.
Xiao He laughed: "Since Mr. Wang gave it to you, just accept it. Besides, Mr. Wang just said this is not worth it~"
Mr. Wang looked at his gold-embedded sandalwood bracelet with distress. In order to avoid scaring the little girl, he laughed dryly and agreed: "That's right."
Xiao He had a smile on his face: "By the way, I remember collecting that emerald apple tree. The last time I took a look, the apples were red agate. They were quite beautiful. The princess told me some time ago that she wanted an apple tree."
Mr. Wang almost couldn't lift it up in one breath. He had hidden that tree so well. How did Xiao He, that bitch, find it?!
It just killed him!
