"Big brother, I'm here to play with you..."
Sitting in the four-wheeled carriage sent by Xiao Rui, Xiao Changle was escorted to Xiaojiazhuang. He got off the car and ran into the yard like a familiar person.
Xiao Rui was holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand and was boiling medicine for his father in the yard. He looked up and stood up in surprise and asked, "Hey, little sister Changle, why are you here?"
Xiao Changle jumped directly into Xiao Rui's arms, "I haven't eaten potato stewed chicken for a long time. I miss my big brother."
miss me? You are obviously greedy.
"What? Are you alone? Where is your sister?" Xiao Rui was confused. Such a young child dared to let her go out by herself?
Xiao Changle shook his head and said: "My sister is locked up by daddy and is not allowed to go out."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Dad wanted to marry my sister to the son of Song Guogong, but he seemed unwilling, so he asked Song Guogong to go home. My sister went to plead for mercy, but my father was angry and locked her up." Xiao Changle felt aggrieved for his sister.
"Brother, my sister is so pitiful. No one wants her. Why don't you let her marry you?"
Phew...what kind of logic is this? No one wants the emperor’s daughter?
Wait...what did Changle just say? Who does the emperor want to betroth Xiangcheng to? The son of Song Guogong? Isn't that me?
Then, Song Guogong didn’t agree? Only then was the emperor dismissed from office and returned home... I, this emperor was avenging a private revenge. No, is Dad stupid? The emperor granted me a marriage, why didn't you agree? I have met Princess Xiangcheng twice. Not only is she extremely beautiful, but she also has a gentle personality and is a typical good wife and mother.
"Brother, are you making medicine? Who is sick?" Xiao Changle asked curiously.
At this time, there was a coughing sound in the house, and Xiao Changle quietly walked to the door and observed secretly.
"Da Lang, who are you talking to? Are there guests?" Xiao Yu asked weakly.
Xiao Rui poured out the decoction and pulled Xiao Changle into the house, "This is my dad."
"Changle has met uncle." The little girl was very polite.
Xiao Yu was very curious, "Which family's little girl is there? She is so well-behaved and cute."
Xiao Rui handed the decoction to his father's hand and explained: "Her name is Changle."
Oh... Changle, what a good name, huh? Which Changle? Xiao Yu almost spilled the soup in his hand.
Changle looked at the haggard old man in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, I think I have met your father?"
Xiao Rui burst out laughing: "He is the Duke of Song you mentioned."
"What? He, he is Song Guogong? Then you, aren't you the big bad guy named Xiao Rui?" Xiao Changle was so frightened that he covered his mouth.
Xiao Rui's head was full of black lines, "Yes, I am the big bad guy named Xiao Rui!"
Xiao Yu looked at the little girl in front of him blankly, "Could it be Princess Changle?"
With that said, he was about to stand up and salute, but Xiao Rui grabbed him and said, "Just take your medicine with peace of mind, dad. Sister Changle ran away to play."
"You bastard, the etiquette must not be discarded!" Xiao Yu wanted to teach his son in court.
Xiao Rui didn't answer, and just took the little girl and walked out, "You can go to the lake to read and fish after taking the medicine. Mother, Xiao Yue, Xue Li and the others went to the fields together. The new fruits and vegetables are the most tender. , pick more. In addition, I brewed the best Sanlejiang for you, you can try it when you eat."
Xiao Changle asked anxiously: "Brother, you are not going to throw me into the lake, are you?"
Xiao Rui was puzzled, "Why do you think so? Why should I throw you into the lake?"
Xiao Changle turned back and glanced at Xiao Yu. The meaning was obvious, my father persecuted your father, don't you hold a grudge?
Xiao Rui laughed loudly, "You are a kid, and adults' affairs have nothing to do with children. I will settle the score with your father."
After leaving the yard, Xiao Rui directly picked up Chang Le and walked to the center of the village, "Don't you like that big black and white cat? Come on, brother will take you to play with him, and let him take you to climb trees and pick fruits."
Wow... No, I don't want to be eaten... Wuwu, big brother, please let me go. All bad things are done by my father. I don't know anything...
Xiao Changle burst into tears, his face turned pale with fright.
Xiao Rui was confused, what's going on? When did I say I was going to eat you?
"Your big black and white cat specializes in eating people. You just want to trick me into getting eaten, wuwu..." Xiao Changle sobbed in defense and analysis.
Here……
Xiao Rui did not explain, and soon came to the yard where the two strange beasts were. This was the most secret base in the entire Xiao Family Village, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get close to it.
"Okay, stop crying. Big cats are most annoyed by children crying. If you cry again, they will really get angry and want to eat people. Come on, follow my example and touch his head."
Despite being coaxed and threatened, Xiao Changle did not dare to cry loudly, so he could only hold out his hand tentatively while choking.
Next second, huh? Wow, it’s so fluffy and so comfortable!
That's it? Don't you cry anymore? Sure enough, girls have zero resistance to such furry pets.
Xiao Rui was speechless. This child must have changed his face too quickly. He directly put the little guy on the giant panda's back and patted the big cat's head, "Erhua, Xiao Changle is one of our own, you can have fun together. Go, take Xiao Changle to the orchard to pick some fruits and come back."
Panda Erhua seemed to be able to understand human speech, and actually nodded humanely, and then walked slowly towards the orchard on all fours.
"Hey, big brother, don't leave me. Will he eat me on the way? I'm so scared..."
"You're so scared! You're holding Erhua's neck with both hands. Does that look of reluctance look like you're afraid at all?"
Seeing the little girl playing with the giant panda with relief, Xiao Rui turned around and went home, where he found his father Xiao Yu who was fishing by the river.
Regarding this rebellious son, Xiao Yu expressed his lack of temper. He held a fishing rod in his hand and stared at his son without even looking at him.
"Dad, I understand the reason why you were dismissed from the prime ministership. It was not a quarrel with Chen Shuda, but the emperor deliberately wanted to trouble you."
"You bastard, stop talking nonsense!"
"Princess Changle just said it herself. She said that the emperor wanted to marry Princess Xiangcheng to me, but you didn't agree. The emperor said that you don't know how to praise me, so I decided to avenge my personal vendetta and give you some shoes to wear." Xiao Rui explained patiently.
Xiao Yu was stunned, "Is that so?"
Xiao Rui said with emotion: "Dad, I have met Princess Xiangcheng twice. She is beautiful, generous, and well-educated. Why did you refuse such a good marriage for me? At least ask me."
Xiao Yu nodded, "That's right, I've asked about it a long time ago. Princess Xiangcheng is both talented and beautiful, and is more than suitable for your boy. Isn't that... wait, what did you just say? I refused for you? When will I refuse for you? Already?"
"That's what Xiao Changle said just now!"
Pfft...Old Xiao Yu really wanted to vomit blood.
He pointed at his son and was speechless for a long time, "You are not such a traitor! I said I would arrange a marriage for you, but you tried every means to avoid it and escaped. Your Majesty asked me to take you into the palace for a look. You have been hiding for more than a month. I How to make a business trip?"
Xiao Rui was stunned. He had been making trouble for a long time. It happened by mistake. Do you blame me?
"I said I don't like arranged marriages, but I didn't say Princess Xiangcheng couldn't do it..." Xiao Rui couldn't help but recall Princess Xiangcheng's beauty.
Xiao Yu threw away the fishing rod, stood up and kicked his son down, "You worthless thing! Come to the palace with me tomorrow to explain the misunderstanding, because your nonsense alone has delayed me so many important things."
When Xiao Rui heard this, he shook his head repeatedly, "That's not possible. Dad, the emperor will avenge his personal revenge and I won't let you go. If you take me to ask for Princess Xiangcheng's hand in marriage now, wouldn't it make people laugh and say that our Xiao family is a marriage family? Did you get to the top because of nepotism? Absolutely not."
Hiss... Xiao Yu was silent, he indeed had this suspicion.
"Hmph, what do you think? From being an official to the prime minister, I have so many important things to do in the court. Am I always here to idle and fish?"
Xiao Rui said confidently: "If you believe me, then leave it to me. Soon, I will ask His Majesty, Corporal Lixian, to come and ask you to come out in person."
Xiao Yu took a look at the son who boasted about Haikou, then slowly turned back to pick up the fishing rod and started fishing again, "Oh, it's just you? Can you mobilize His Majesty? As a father, it's better to fish with peace of mind."
