Chapter 144: Brother
Xiao Yao is still a little confident in dressing, and she also knows Xiao Yuan's preferences, so when she entered the silk village, she first helped Xiao Yuan choose the tender yellow clothes, and she chose the elegant moon white.
A few people went to the embroidery workshop again, Xiao Yao asked the embroidery girl to embroider a few plum blossoms on the corners of her skirt, and asked them to embroider fluttering petals for Xiao Yuan, and a few birds with bright feathers shuttled among them. Xiao Yao did not choose luxurious and exquisite jewelry, but chose some pearls of relatively uniform size, drilled holes and brought them home.
Xiaohui is a skillful person, Xiao Yao thinks that she is not much worse than her own maid, and the two of them started to work after studying for a while.
They first strung the beads in the shape of flowers, and then decorated them with colorful tassels.
Early in the morning on the day of the feast, the sisters were woken up from their sleep by the maid.
"Shallow language, it's only now, why are you waking me up." Xiao Yuan not only refused to get up, but arched into the quilt.
"It was the third lady who asked the slave to wake you and the eldest lady up." Qianyu knew that her young lady was angry to get up, and she had expected to be trained.
"Why! It's still a while away from going out, isn't it? ”
"The lady wants to see if the two young ladies' new clothes fit."
"It's suitable, it must be suitable, don't bother with my mother, let me sleep for a while!" Xiao Yuan has reached the point of blind trust in her sister, if she is asked to choose one of the two people from her mother and sister to vote for confidence, it is estimated that Yuan Yutong is the one who is abandoned.
When the sisters dressed up and went to see Xiao Jingmin and his wife, both of them were shocked by the little sisters, and they had a great feeling of brightness, Xiao Yao looked more aura, Xiao Yuan was snow-white, pink, and looked more delicate and cute.
"I told you not to worry, when did Ping An do something that he was not sure of." Xiao Jingmin was nagged by his wife for a night and a morning, fortunately the children came, otherwise he would still be in dire straits!
"It's not because the clothes were delivered last night, and I'm worried that something might not fit? Now it seems that Ping'an's vision is really good, how about you be the third aunt's military advisor in the future, and also help the third aunt guide her to dress. ”
"You shouldn't ask me this question, you should go and ask the third uncle, and then dress up according to the third uncle's request." The woman is the one who pleases herself, don't make a mistake about the object, Xiao Yao glanced at the third uncle meaningfully.
"No nonsense." Yuan Yutong was a complete ancient, and when he was ridiculed by his little niece, his face turned red in an instant.
"I think what Ping An said is very reasonable, why don't you ask your husband's opinion now." Xiao Jingmin has always been very casual in front of his family, and when he rarely saw his wife blushing, he couldn't help but speak out.
"Since the clothes fit, let's eat." Yuan Yutong didn't plan to pay attention to this uncle, one and one nephew who had no formal shape.
"I didn't say anything." Xiao Yuan saw enough of the excitement and complained for himself.
"Whoever talks nonsense will stay and watch the house." Yuan Yutong said angrily.
Things have come to this point, if he is left behind, he will be laughed out, Xiao Yuan has no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
They are going to Xiao Jingmin's boss Zhao's house today to attend a birthday banquet.
After the guest and host saw the ceremony, the eyes of a room of people gathered on Xiao Yao again, some whispering, some looking up and down......
"Are these two young ladies Mrs. Xiao's daughters?" Someone asked.
"The older one is the eldest lady of our Xiao family, and the younger one is my daughter." Yuan Yutong explained.
"The two children are smart and clever at first glance." The head of the Zhao family kept praising it.
"It's all children, where can you see anything." Although Yuan Yutong was happy in his heart, he did not forget to be modest.
Everyone just chatted for a while, and there was a commotion at the door, what kind of big man is coming, Xiao Yao couldn't help but guess.
"Mother, the fifth and seventh sons of Mu Guogong's family know that you are celebrating your sixtieth birthday today, and they have come from Kyoto to celebrate your birthday." From a distance, I heard Lord Zhao's extremely excited voice coming, and the guests were also introduced by him personally.
For local officials, it is indeed a matter of pride and pride to be able to meet the prince of the Guogong Mansion, so it is no wonder that Lord Zhao is so excited. Because the old lady of the Mu Guogong Mansion and the old lady of the Zhao family were handkerchiefs when they were young, they will send their grandson on this trip today.
The ladies in the house avoided one after another, and some deliberately fell behind, just wanting to see the nobles.
"Sister, you said that this son of the Mu family, could it be the Mu Fengwu who learned martial arts from his grandfather!" Xiao Yuan asked Xiao Yao softly.
"Ahh At first, Xiao Yao really didn't think about Mu Fengwu, but when she was reminded by Xiao Yuan, she reacted, it is very possible, because there seems to be only one Mu Guogong Mansion in Kyoto.
"The younger generations Mu Fengwu and Mu Fengyang kowtowed to the old birthday star, I wish you happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan." The brothers said in unison.
"Fake mold fake style." Xiao Yuan pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, he knew that he would meet this guy and he wouldn't come today.
"Ahh Xiao Yuan exclaimed, a young lady next to her didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and squeezed her out from behind the screen, Xiao Yao reached out and wanted to hold her sister, because she didn't have Xiao Yuan's strength, not only did she not stop her from stepping out, but she was taken out.
What a scheming little girl! Several ladies and wives thought so; Aren't you from Kyoto? Today, I have to make a fool of yourself in front of the guests in Kyoto, a few ladies who winked at each other thought secretly.
"Little junior sister, why are you here, senior brother hasn't seen you for several months, one is better-looking; A more ...... Cough...... Cute. It could be seen that Mu Fengwu was really happy to see the two of them, and there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Xiao Qi, this is the little junior sister of General Xiao's family that the fifth brother mentioned to you, you can also come and meet you!" Fate! Mu Fengwu almost wanted to laugh three times, he was still worried about how to let his younger brother and little sister meet! I didn't expect to have nowhere to find it when I stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it, and God sent the opportunity today.
Mu Fengyang looked at the Xiao family sisters for a long time, and just when Xiao Yao thought that he might not be able to speak at all, the young master said slowly: "Since you are my fifth brother's junior sister, then call me senior brother."
"Your brother is not our senior brother at all, so you have nothing to do with us at all." This is really a brother, taking advantage of it everywhere, do you have to admit it if you say it's my senior brother? What a beautiful thing to think! Xiao Yuan didn't appreciate the Mu family's repeated overtures.
"Young Master Mu, as far as I know, my grandfather's term of office has arrived, so we can't take advantage of you in vain, and it's good for everyone to maintain the original relationship." Xiao Yao explained neither humbly nor arrogantly, she hoped that Mu Fengwu could understand that the Xiao family had nothing to do with them anymore.
"Really? I remember that the old man wanted to teach us a few ten-year kung fu, when it was changed to five years, I don't know. Mu Fengwu played Laipi.
"You ......" Xiao Yuan has never seen anyone thicker than Mu Fengwu.
"Whether the old man teaches us kung fu in the future or not, it will not affect the relationship between our senior brother and sister, you can rest assured, the senior brother will protect the two junior sisters in the future, be on call, and respond to requests." Mu Fengwu said impassionedly.
"If you are willing to call me brother, I can help you too. Mu Fengyang is not as easy-going as his brother, he is a more arrogant character, the Xiao family sisters have clear eyes, are not pretentious, and do not bend to meet each other, so he can look at him differently.
"Don't you understand me?" Xiao Yuan was a little anxious, he said so, they still have to think of themselves as senior brothers, cheeky! What about identity! Don't want it all? When his senior brother has no money to take, he is simply sick.
"Aren't the two little sisters going back to Kyoto? Senior brother is in charge of escorting you, how about it? Mu Fengwu was about to jump up when he saw Xiao Yuan's anger, so he quickly changed the topic, these two little junior sisters are so cute, one is eye-catching, the other is interesting, and those pretentious official ladies are completely different.
"Mu Gongzi, thank you for your kindness, the two sisters will live in Songjiang for a while, so I won't trouble you to escort them." Seeing that her daughter was not lightly angry, Yuan Yutong was afraid that the scene would get out of control, so she had to show up, why can't this child learn to be calm and calm!
"You are the third aunt, don't be polite to me, I have brought a lot of entourage, and there is absolutely no problem in protecting the safety of the two little junior sisters." Xiao Qi should be satisfied with his junior sister, otherwise, he won't take the initiative to talk to the girl, if he can go all the way back to Kyoto, is it possible to create a pair of childhood sweethearts! Mu Fengwu quietly made his own little calculations.
"We have received Mu Gongzi's wishes, but what I just said is not an excuse, they have not been back from Suzhou for more than ten days, and they are planning to rest in Songjiang for a while, and they will not return to Kyoto for the time being." Yuan Yutong explained in detail, she just hoped that Mu Fengwu would stop dwelling on this matter, and the Xiao family would not let the two girls go with their brother no matter what.
"I don't know if I can go and meet Uncle Xiao, Songjiang and our brothers are here for the first time, and we are thinking about walking around." Mu Fengwu didn't look at Yuan Yutong's shocked expression, he was still hesitating to stay in Songjiang for a few days before he came.
When he saw the Xiao family, especially when he saw the Xiao family sisters, he made up his mind that he must stay in Songjiang for a few days, have a good relationship with the third master of the Xiao family, and create opportunities for his younger brother to contact with the little sister, he is really a good brother! In order to turn his junior sister into a younger sister as soon as possible, he tried his best to help him, despite the fact that he was still a bachelor.
"That...... Okay, we'll be waiting. Yuan Yutong's refusal had already come to his lips, and after thinking about it, he swallowed it back, and asked her husband to entertain them, before the brothers left, just don't let Ping An and Ruyi meet them.
