Chapter 83
"It seems that the girl is fine, so I don't have to worry too much." Xiao Zhongheng made up his mind that he didn't want to have any contact with her, so he handed over his hands and wanted to leave.

"No...don't bother me, you can just help me..." Li Qiuxia realized that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly made amends, but at this moment, she showed such an appearance, but it could only make Xiao Zhongheng a bit wary Give birth to three points.

It happened that at this moment, a little maid passed by, and Xiao Zhongheng ordered: "Go and help her up."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhongheng just bowed to Li Qiuxia and left.

"Yes, master." The little maid responded, and stepped forward to help Li Qiuxia, but was thrown away by Li Qiuxia when she was about to touch Li Qiuxia's arm.

"Go away." Li Qiuxia insisted on her beauty, but she didn't expect Xiao Zhongheng to ignore her.

Li Qiuxia, who felt that she had been humiliated, got up from the ground and gave the little maid a hard look: "Get lost!"

The little maid was so baffled by the viciousness, it's just that this cousin is not a serious lady, and she didn't need to hold her hand all the time, so she rolled her eyes and left.

"Okay! Good job Xiao Zhongheng!" Li Qiuxia thought that Xiao Zhongheng and Xiao Ying were brothers and sisters, and hated these two brothers and sisters together in her heart.

She wants the monstrous wealth of the Xiao Mansion, and she wants to make life difficult for the brothers and sisters who make it difficult for her!
That night, in order to celebrate Xiao Zhongheng's success, Xiao Hong gathered the whole family together.

Unexpectedly, before the dinner party started, another piece of good news came.

A small official wearing a purple official uniform with a flattering smile on his face knocked on the door of Xiao's mansion.

"Imperial Academy editing?" Xiao Zhongheng looked at the little official reporting the letter in disbelief, and took the editing document from him.

The little official looked at the future brother-in-law of General Huo with a smile on his face, winked and said, "This is an edited document handpicked by the academicians of the Imperial Academy, can I send it to the wrong place?"

Speaking of the students who were promoted in the Qiuwei Middle School, they can enter the Hanlin Academy as editors, and they will almost always rise in the officialdom in the future.

Xiao Zhongheng also thought about whether his status as the eldest son of the Ministry of War and his talents were enough to enter the Imperial Academy.It's just that this was hand-picked by academicians, so I'm afraid that relying on Xiao Hong alone won't be enough...

"Thank you, my lord." Xiao Zhongheng stretched out his hand and gave Xiao Guan a silver ingot that was not too big or too small.

Xiaoguan still counted on Xiao Zhongheng to be able to get on the way of Huo Xun, so he wouldn't pay attention to this silver ingot.

Just looking at Xiao Zhongheng's appearance, it seemed that he didn't know where his destiny was, and he could only hear the little official wave his hands repeatedly: "Your Majesty Xiao, you are too polite, my subordinate is just a seventh-rank official who runs errands in the Imperial Academy, and now my lord is just entering His official career is sixth-rank editing, I'm afraid he will rely more on Master Xiao and General Huo in the future."

Hearing the small officials say so, if Xiao Zhongheng still doesn't understand that he doesn't need to stay in the officialdom in the future, his heart is brightened, so it is Huo Xun's credit.

"Your Excellency, you are joking, the late student has not officially joined the job yet." Xiao Zhongheng insisted on stuffing the silver ingot into the small official's chest.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Xiao. It's getting late, and I will leave first." The small official still had a flattering smile on his face, but the smile was no longer there. Xiao Shangshu's eldest son, he is really a good man. A nerd who only knows how to read?I'm afraid I can't get along with this kind of favor.

Xiao Zhongheng cupped his hands: "I won't give it away when I'm late."

Looking at the editorial booklet in his hand, Xiao Zhongheng has a little more confidence and expectation for his sister's future.

It's one thing to be able to take care of and support, but like Huo Xun, he found the best place for him at the first time, as if he didn't help, it's really not easy.

Xiao Ruan was very happy today, so she put some thought into her clothes.The skirt on her body, which is embroidered with white plums and embroidered with blue sky and water, is just made, and has not been worn yet.In addition, the double bun made by Forsythia skillfully combed, and a golden hairpin with double beads and stamens was inserted.

Xiao Ying and Gu looked at the hairpin on Xiao Ruan's head, their eyes darkened.

Don't say that Xiao Ruan's beauty made Xiao Ying's mother and daughter secretly hate, especially on this hairpin.

These things that were originally rich and expensive are easy to become tacky because of the color, and it is hard to find simple and elegant things, not to mention that the hairpin on Xiao Ruan's head is still made by Master Bao Jinge Luo!Master Luo of Baojin Pavilion can't make three or five hairpins a year, maybe this is because Huo Xun knows Xiao Ruan doesn't like vulgar and complicated things, so he bought them specially to please her?
"Congratulations, brother." Xiao Ruan didn't take the jealousy in the eyes of the mother and daughter seriously, her eyes were full of joy, and she raised her glass to congratulate Xiao Zhongheng.

Xiao Zhongheng also sincerely cared for his sister, after drinking a glass of wine, his face was dizzy: "Thank you sister."

"I congratulate brother too." Xiao Ying raised her glass and interjected, seeing Xiao Zhongheng's expression did not congratulate her at all, but she didn't like people caring about Xiao Ruan.

Whether it's General Huo or Xiao Zhongheng, she will grab everyone who is good to Xiao Ruan!

Xiao Zhongheng looked at Xiao Ying's wine in a daze, then raised his glass and touched it to his lips: "Thank you."

For Xiao Ruan, he drank it all in one gulp, but for himself, did he just touch the wine?Although Xiao Ying smiled on her face, she wished she could pour the wine into Xiao Zhongheng's stomach herself!
Naturally, these careful calculations cannot escape Xiao Ruan's eyes.Xiao Ruan sneered in her heart, the ending of her brother in this life has been rewritten from today.Gu's mother and daughter want to trample their elder brother into the mud, it is impossible in this life!

Xiao Hong had a promising son, he was very happy in his heart, he smiled and clapped his hands: "As expected of my son, Xiao Hong, he really looks good on his father."

"Father is absurd." Xiao Zhongheng didn't have much intimacy with this father, and the relationship between father and son was very weak.

"Just now the Hanlin Academy sent all the edited documents and books, my son is really promising!" Xiao Hong didn't know what was going on, and thought that the Hanlin Academy made it smooth sailing for Xiao Zhongheng when he first entered the official career for the sake of his honor as Minister of the Ministry of War of.

Mrs. Gu also smiled and said: "It's not because of the master's face that the eldest son will be the best in the future."

Who is a parent who doesn't want their children to become dragons and phoenixes?Listening to Gu Shi's words, Xiao Hong felt even more complacent, and couldn't close his smile.

Xiao Zhongheng didn't expose it, he was already on guard against Gu Shi.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her grandson with a smile, raised her glass and said, "Heng'er, the future of the Xiao family depends on you to carry forward."

"Grandma, don't worry." Xiao Zhongheng felt Mrs. Xiao's sincere concern, raised his glass and drank it down, "Grandson will definitely not let grandma down."

"Mr. Pei, Heng'er is already in high school, you have to hurry up." Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Zhongheng, her eyes turned to Mrs. Pei, and then to Mrs. Pei's flat abdomen.

The eyes were so naked that there was no other explanation, Pei's face turned red all of a sudden: "Grandma, grandma..."

There was a bit of shyness in the voice, but also a bit of anticipation.

My child... Mrs. Pei thought about the conversation she had with Mrs. Gu this afternoon. It seemed that Auntie really thought about her own sake, and she had told her beforehand.

"Grandmother said that in the future, I will work hard to spread the branches and leaves for the Xiao family..." Mrs. Pei blushed, finished speaking, and bowed her head in shame.

Mrs. Gu was startled when she heard Mrs. Xiao's words, and looked at Mrs. Xiao's face for a long time, afraid that Mrs. Xiao knew her plan.

Looking at Mrs. Xiao in shock, she found that Mrs. Xiao really cared about Pei's and Xiao Zhongheng's offspring, and she felt a little joy in her heart. She didn't expect God to help!
"Yeah, Heng'er has been married for two or three years. Before that, he first established a career, and now this small family should also be established." Gu looked at Xiao Zhongheng with a loving face, and eagerly added fire to this.

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Gu didn't speak, Xiao Ruan hadn't noticed anything unusual. When Mrs. Gu said it, Xiao Ruan's intuition was wrong: "When did an aunt actually ask about the children of the Xiao family?"

"Ruan'er." Mrs. Xiao's displeasure flashed across her face, but the displeasure was only because she felt that Xiao Ruan should not speak at such a time to destroy the harmonious atmosphere.

Xiao Ying sneered and said, "Whether my mother is an aunt or something, she is a member of the Xiao family. Shouldn't she care about the children of the Xiao family?"

"The issue of the Xiao family's heirs is naturally worrying about the father and grandmother. Why did the servants need to care about it?" Xiao Ruan looked at Xiao Ying and said.

"You..." Xiao Ying was at a loss for words, she looked at Xiao Hong aggrieved and said, "Daddy, sister is clearly looking for trouble."

Xiao Zhongheng, who was surrounded by the topic, waved his hands again and again: "Ruan'er..."

Knowing this brother's consistent behavior, Xiao Ruan sighed lightly, raised his wine glass and said to Xiao Zhongheng: "I broke my brother's desire to celebrate, and my sister punished herself with a drink."

"I……"

Xiao Zhongheng was about to say something, but Xiao Hong said coldly: "Since you know you're wrong, don't speak when you shouldn't!"

Having said that, there was no possibility of a happy dinner party, and it ended hastily in a short time.

Mrs. Pei thought secretly, she only felt that Xiao Ruan ruined her husband's good deed, but Mrs. Gu reminded herself before the dinner, presumably because she knew Mrs. Xiao's thoughts, and reminded herself.

When walking back, at a corner, Xiao Zhongheng said to Pei Shi in a low voice: "You take a step first, I have something to tell my sister."

Mrs. Pei glanced at Xiao Ruan who was not far away, and wanted to say something, but she just nodded: "Mr., let's go, I'll wait for you in my room."

Xiao Zhongheng could hear some dissatisfaction in Pei's voice, but right now it is more important to talk to Xiao Ruan, he patted the back of Pei's hand reassuringly, letting her go back to the room with peace of mind.

"Ruan'er." Xiao Zhongheng quickly walked towards Xiao Ruan.

In the night, Xiao Ruan couldn't see Xiao Zhongheng's expression clearly, but could only hear the hesitation in his tone, thinking that even Xiao Zhongheng wanted to find her for the dinner just now, so he couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed: "Brother, I'm here."

"Ruan'er, a relative of the old lady in the other courtyard..."

The gentleman is not around to discuss right and wrong, Xiao Zhongheng hesitated to tell Xiao Ruan about the scene during the day.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Ruan's eyes, it's nothing more than taking advantage of the Xiao family's superiority, but now is he going to make a direct decision to the Xiao family?And hit her brother who she made up her mind to protect after her rebirth?
"I know brother." Xiao Ruan looked at Xiao Zhongheng with a smile, thought for a while and said, "Just now..."

"My brother knows about my aunt's affairs." Xiao Zhongheng said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law, don't worry too much about her. Ruan'er has grown up and started to protect my brother."

A trace of warmth surged in Xiao Ruan's heart. In the first rebirth, she no longer had deep feelings for her father, but she cared twice as much for her brother and sister-in-law who sincerely cared for her than in her previous life.

"It's deeper and heavier, brother go back quickly."
