Xie Wanyu smiled and patted his thin shoulder, "Growing up is not something to be anxious about, but it is good to keep fit."
The Xiao family was originally a family of military commanders, so there were ready-made masters in the family to teach these children how to ride and shoot. Xiao Zhi was strict with himself and would find things to do in his free time.
Xie Wanyu said with a smile, "Don't run away in the future. Come tomorrow, I will go to Xie's house to find two masters to teach you some boxing techniques. It will be much better than running around."
Xiao Zhi is a person who is eager to learn. When he heard Xie Wanyu's words, his eyes lit up, "I would like to thank my mother for this!"
Mrs. Xiao also heard these words at this time and immediately said, "Wanyu, these two are also your children. You can't favor one over the other."
Xie Wanyu joked and said, "Grandma is right. It's just that grandma treats Brother Xuan and Min'er very lovingly. For those who don't know, she thinks that Min'er is also the Marquis's biological child."
She said unintentionally.
Mrs. Xiao's eyes narrowed, the smile on her face froze for a moment, and then she said awkwardly, "Now that we have entered the ancestral hall, they are all children of the Xiao family. I am an old man and I like children."
As she said this, she called Xiao Zhi to come forward, "This child is now much more rounded and looks handsome."
She seemed to want to prove how much she loved children.
Xie Wanyu just smiled beside her, said nothing, and watched Mrs. Xiao's performance to her heart's content.
She felt that it was necessary for her to beat them regularly, otherwise they would really think that she had done so perfectly.
"Pei Zhi, you are very knowledgeable. It looks like you are smart." Mrs. Xiao patiently asked Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi replied respectfully, "Pei Zhi started learning late, so he is not as good as his two elder brothers."
"Don't be humble. Great-grandmother knows that you are a good person." Mrs. Xiao stroked Xiao Zhi's hair, "This child's hair is darker than that of ordinary people."
Mrs. Xiao kept praising her, as if this could prove that her attitude towards every child was the same.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinmin became unhappy immediately, his face became darker and darker, and finally he couldn't help but said, "Great-grandmother, my father said that I look like him, very handsome."
"You are just a skinny monkey, you don't have any stability at all." Madam Xiao nodded Xiao Jinmin's nose and said with an angry smile.
Xiao Jinmin, who had just entered the Hou Mansion, would definitely have restrained his sharpness, but now that he had been spoiled by Xue Xuening, he could no longer be as cautious as usual. He immediately said, "How could my great-grandmother be so partial to an outsider?"
These words made Mrs. Xiao's face darken, "What nonsense are you talking about."
"I'm not talking nonsense, great-grandmother, I am your biological great-grandson." When Xiao Jinmin said these words, Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale with nervousness.
Aunt Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old madam, let me take some young masters down. They are busy with their studies and are all confused."
"That's okay, that's okay." Mrs. Xiao waved her hand, and then looked at Xie Wanyu, "I really shouldn't have opened an ancestral hall at the beginning, but now it makes this child have some different thoughts."
She gave an embarrassing explanation, but this explanation was very far-fetched.
Xie Wanyu said calmly, "An outsider is an outsider after all. No matter what, this prince's mansion must not be left in the hands of his adopted son."
When Xiao Jinmin heard this, he turned around and glared at Xie Wanyu, "Who do you think is the adopted son? I tell you, I am..." Before he could finish his words, Grandma Feng covered his mouth, "Young master, please stop talking. , be careful of choking on the wind."
With that said, she forced Xiao Jinmin out of the room.
Xiao Mingxuan's eyes were indifferent, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
Xiao Zhi, on the other hand, looked like it had nothing to do with him.
After all three children went out, Mrs. Xiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "These children are all naughty."
"Don't worry, grandma, the children will be less worried when they grow up." Xie Wanyu did not continue the topic, but looked at Xiao Yinshuang.
Xiao Yinshuang usually had a hand in everything, but now she showed a very indifferent expression, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
"Eldest sister, why do you talk so little now?" Xie Wanyu said.
Xiao Yinshuang raised her head and glanced at her, then lowered her eyes and said nothing.
"She has been locked up in her room these past few days, and her temperament has become much calmer." Mrs. Xiao was very satisfied. "She was like this when she was a child. I felt distressed when I saw her, and I became a little more partial to her."
Although Mrs. Xiao will put the entire Xiao family first.
But she still loves Xiao Yinshuang very much. As long as Xiao Yinshuang behaves better, Mrs. Xiao's love will still come to her.
"This is what it should be." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Probably knowing that Xie Wanyu was coming to Mrs. Xiao's place, Xue Xuening also came after a while.
She smiled and greeted Mrs. Xiao, then looked at Xie Wanyu, "My younger siblings seem to have lost a lot of weight. Could it be that they have been practicing dancing these days?"
"Dance practice?" Mrs. Xiao asked doubtfully.
Although Xiao Jing was sarcastic and sarcastic towards Xie Wanyu, she did not tell Madam Xiao about these things, and she didn't know whether it was because she was afraid of worrying her or something else.
And Xue Xuening mentioned it deliberately at this time, probably because she wanted Mrs. Xiao to know about it.
She smiled and said, "Grandma, don't you know? A few days ago, my brother and sister danced passionately at the Prince of Jin's Mansion and became famous in Kyoto. People say that the lady of the Prince's Mansion is better at dancing than the most famous dancer."
She added more details.
Mrs. Xiao's face was already ugly. She was a traditional person who paid attention to etiquette and family rules. When she was good to Xie Wanyu, she was not only afraid of the power of the Xie family and Xie Wanyu's dowry, but also because Xie Wanyu was strict and strict. Etiquette is very suitable to Mrs. Xiao's taste.
Therefore, Xue Xuening's words were nothing more than telling Mrs. Xiao that Xie Wanyu had done things that violated etiquette and law.
Everyone knows Mrs. Xiao’s taboos.
"Is this possible?" Mrs. Xiao said.
Xie Wanyu did not answer directly, but looked at Xue Xuening, "The enamel-pressed hair on Sister-in-law's head is a rare thing. Where did Sister-in-law get it from?"
Her words successfully made Mrs. Xiao change her target.
Xue Xuening's face turned ugly, she reached out to touch her hair, and then smiled awkwardly, "This, this is a casual purchase."
"Bought casually?" Mrs. Xiao sneered, "I only have one pair of rare items like enamel, and they were gifts from the palace. How did you buy them casually?"
Enamel jewelry is extremely rare, and because it is deeply loved by the empress in the palace, the price of enamel rises very quickly.
It is something that is hard to find.
Although Xiao Jing doted on Xue Xuening, given his ability, he probably couldn't buy such a thing.
Then only one person can do it, and that is King Jin who lives a luxurious life.
That day, the peach blossoms in King Jin's backyard bloomed early because they had used enough charcoal fire to nourish the peach trees since the beginning of winter. Such luxury was not something ordinary people could achieve.
