After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 126 Are the two of them familiar?
When Xiao Lingxiao heard his sister's plan, his first reaction was that it was unreliable.

He denied: "Wei Zi looks beautiful, she must be somewhat similar to the Duke of Zhen and his wife. Du Juan, you are mediocre, and you don't look like the daughter of a wealthy family. If you rush to recognize your relatives, I'm afraid you will be questioned in every possible way." .If things come to light, it will implicate us.”

Xiao Dujuan gritted his teeth.

Her brother is really hateful, isn't this just cursing her for not being pretty enough?
She argued: "I dress up seriously, and I am quite pretty. Brother, what do you have to worry about? What's more, she was lost when she was five years old. After so many years, Zhen Guogong and his wife must have long since failed to recognize her." Now, how do you remember what she looks like? As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are in danger, such a good opportunity is in front of us, if we don't make good use of it, we will regret it in the future!"

Xiao Lingxiao was silent.

The hundred-year-old family of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, the famous family among the famous families, has a relationship that even three generations of the Xiao family can't reach.

If my younger sister can really become the eldest lady of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, is it afraid that no one will recommend him in the court in the future?
Xiao Dujuan seemed to see what Xiao Lingxiao was thinking, and flattered him: "Brother, when I recognize my relatives, I will tell Duke Zhen that our family kindly adopted me, and let him treat our family as a great benefactor. How can you return to me when the time comes?" Putting all your effort into currying favor with Shen Shilang, just relying on the name of the Duke of the Town, can make you a step up in the officialdom!"

Xiao Lingxiao slowly put down the brush.

It is undeniable that this is a risky move.

But if it succeeds, it will also be a wonderful move.

He pondered, and said: "Father and mother have gone to Shangjing by boat, and they will arrive in a few days. But according to what they said in the letter, Wei Zi has moved out a long time ago, and I don't know where she is now. You want To replace her in the Zhen Guogong's mansion, we must get rid of her first. For you, and for me."

Xiao Dujuan's eyes rolled and turned, and suddenly said: "We don't know where she is, but someone must know."

"Who?"

"Xiao Fengxian!"

Xiao Lingxiao stroked the teacup with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Although Xiao Fengxian is his half-brother, he has always been at odds with him, and his relationship is worse than that of a stranger.

That guy has been hanging around all day long, and he is not close to his family members. When did he have such a good relationship with Wei Zi?
He asked, "Why, are the two of them familiar?"

"It's not just acquaintance?" Xiao Dujuan rolled his eyes, "Brother, you don't know. After you left, these two people often talked together, and they didn't know how to avoid suspicion. They seemed like brothers and sisters, but I was an outsider. Already!"

"Xiao Fengxian..."

Xiao Lingxiao whispered the name.

In the bottom of my heart, some bad memories emerged.

When they were young, their family had not yet made a fortune and could not afford a house in the county town, so the whole family lived in the town.

In the evening of summer, he and the teenagers from the same town got together to compare who could memorize the entire "Analects of Confucius" in the shortest time, and No.1 could get a roasted chicken leg.

Everyone was eager to try, and many people speculated that he must be the winner, because he can always take the No.1 exam in the private school.

But the one who won in the end was his younger brother who had never been to school!
Xiao Fengxian was only six years old at the time, and he could immediately recite "The Analects of Confucius" fluently after listening to others recite it aloud. The teenagers around him applauded, praising him for being a Jinshi, Guangzong Yaozu, and saying that he was a child prodigy, a genius, and better than him. This brother is even better.

He stood under the shade of the old locust tree, his limbs felt cold, and his heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom of the valley.

The concubine brother he had always looked down upon, who didn't even have a chance to read books, unexpectedly showed extraordinary talent today...

But he, the proud son of heaven, was ignored by everyone.

There was a huge gap and jealousy in his chest, he stared at the child who picked up the roasted chicken legs, his eyes were shining with coldness.

When the crowd dispersed, he followed Xiao Fengxian to the Baomi Field, only to see the brat handing the roasted chicken leg to Wei Zi.

Wei Zi was wearing a small flower headscarf. Because she fell asleep in the corn field in the afternoon, she didn't break off all the corn on time. She was afraid of being punished by her mother, so she didn't dare to go home for dinner, and was squatting on the ground covering her little face and crying loudly.

Smelling the aroma of roasted chicken legs, she raised her teardrop face.

Xiao Fengxian said with a blank expression, "I don't like eating chicken drumsticks, so I give it to you."

The little girl didn't eat dinner, and her stomach made a series of gurgling sounds at the right time.

She rubbed her hungry stomach and carefully took the roasted chicken leg.

Even though she was very hungry, she still ate gracefully and calmly, ate the chicken drumsticks in small bites, and glanced at Xiao Fengxian quietly from the corner of her eye from time to time.

With a blade of grass in her mouth, Xiao Fengxian was looking up at the sky boredly.

Finally finished eating the roasted chicken legs, Wei Zi wiped his hands with a small handkerchief, and said in a soft and natural voice, "Thank you, Brother Fengxian."

Xiao Fengxian snorted lightly, and said with a tussled voice: "I was sleeping in the cornfield, and I was woken up by your crying. Do you know how noisy your crying is? From now on, you are not allowed to cry anymore."

After all, he waved his hand and walked away proudly.

Wei Zi pursed her lips, watching his leaving back, and was about to continue crying aggrievedly, when she caught a glimpse of the chicken bone, sucked her nose, but still stopped her tears.

Xu felt that this child didn't have roasted chicken legs to eat, but he left the roasted chicken legs to her. It seemed that it wasn't that bad, so he didn't feel wronged, and slowly wiped his little face clean, and continued to break the corn under the sunset. .

Xiao Lingxiao followed Xiao Fengxian until he stopped in a remote forest.

Xiao Fengxian turned around: "You have been following me, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Lingxiao walked out from the shadows.

He stared at Xiao Fengxian, this kid was only six years old, and he was already so keen.

Is he really a child prodigy?
His hands are hidden behind his back, and he holds a stone tightly in his hand.

He calmly said: "Second brother is so smart, he can recite everything after listening to it once. I think that if there is a chance to study in the future, second brother will be able to learn better than me. Daddy and the others will definitely be proud of you."

There was no one around, the howling of unknown beasts could be heard from the depths of the forest, and the passing summer wind faded away the scorching heat of the day, revealing a dense chill.

It was dusk, and the sky had already darkened.

Eyes met, Xiao Fengxian did not speak for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before he smiled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Lingxiao raised his eyebrows: "Did I say something wrong?"

Xiao Fengxian still smiled, and her voice was immature but calm: "I don't like studying. Even if I have the opportunity to study in the future, I don't want to be trapped in the school all day long. Brother, I like to play outside."

Xiao Lingxiao still stared at him.

His pupils were dark and bright, and it really revealed his longing for fun.

Children don't lie.

Despite his intelligence, he was addicted to having fun and was doomed to failure in the future.

Xiao Lingxiao thought about it, and slowly let go of the stone in his hand.
