Fu Song

Chapter 69
The door to the Xiao residence was closed, and even the side door that was normally open was abnormally closed today.The whole house was as quiet as if no one was there.

Xu Wuyan moved a small bench and sat next to the side door, with the two usual Sis standing behind him, not even daring to say a word.

Everyone is waiting for a message.

A news that decides whether the Xiao family is happy or sad.

Xu Wuyan's ears moved suddenly.

"Grandpa Xu, what's the matter?"

"Horse, the sound of hooves!" Xu Wuyan suddenly stood up.

The two ministers looked at each other, but they didn't hear anything.

No matter what they say, they don't believe that the old butler Xu's ears are more sensitive than theirs.

"Open the door!" Xu Wuyan snapped.

Although the two ministers didn't believe it, they didn't dare to neglect. Xu Wuyan's prestige in the manor was often higher than Erlang and Sanniangzi.

The door had just opened for a little while, but Xu Wuyan couldn't wait to walk out of the side door on crutches, walked down the steps, and looked up at the end of the road.

It was at this time that a tall and powerful horse appeared in Xu Wuyan's field of vision.

That is floating light.

It is the lifeblood of Patriarch Xiao Yu.

It was only today that he was taken out, and the purpose was to send the news back to the mansion as quickly as possible.

On the horse is Erlang-kun.

Xu Wuyan's hand holding the cane suddenly tightened, his blue veins were exposed, and he swallowed involuntarily.

"I won, I won! Big brother won a big victory, breaking the ten!" Before the floating light could stop, Xiao Cheng flew down and landed on the ground. Xiao Cheng.

"Win?" Xu Wuyan suddenly reached out to grab Xiao Cheng and asked in a trembling voice.

"Win, win cleanly!" Xiao Cheng's face was full of joy.

"Go back to the old lady!" Xu Wuyan let go, turned and wanted to run inside.

At this moment, he completely forgot his age, his upper body was out, but his old legs did not follow, and with a slam, he fell to the ground firmly, startling Xiao Cheng, and hurriedly squatted down. Come and help Xu Wuyan.

"Don't worry about the old slave, go and report back to the eldest lady." Xu Wuyan clapped his hands on the ground, roaring while laughing.

Xiao Cheng turned and ran towards the inside, turning around and saying to the two ministers as he ran, "Quickly help Grandpa Xu to get up and rest."

The two ministers were also beaming at this time, and the two worked together to support Xu Wuyan and carry him into the mansion without touching the ground.

Fuguang looked around outside the door and saw that no one paid attention to it. He sneezed in dissatisfaction and took small steps to himself. He also walked into the mansion, and he was familiar with his own horse porch. go.

Xiao Cheng rushed in.

The eyes of the nurses, housekeepers, servants, and maids who were working lightly in the mansion all fell on him.

"Win, win!" Waving his arms, Xiao Cheng no longer had the calmness in the eyes of his family, and shouted loudly.

The silent Xiao Mansion came alive in an instant.

In Xiao's backyard, in the small Buddhist hall, Xiao Li's piety knelt in front of the Buddha's incense, knocking on the wooden fish with one hand, pulling the rosary with the other, eyes closed slightly, and chanting words in his mouth.

Behind him, Gao Qi and Xiao Jing knelt behind him. Xiao Jing couldn't take it anymore. He leaned on his mother's body crookedly. Voice.Because his grandmother, who was always kind to him, scolded him fiercely when he cried out for pain for the first time, and his mother slapped him unceremoniously.The smart man immediately understood that today is not a day when he can play petty temper.

Even Xiao Yan, who has always been influenced by Xiao Cheng and doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas at all, is Zhou Zheng who kneels quite a bit today.

After a crisp sound, Xiao Han stopped the small mallet in his hand and said with anger on his face, "Why is the house so noisy?"

Gao Qi and Xiao Yan listened attentively, and sure enough, there was a faint noise from outside.It seems that many people are shouting and shouting, but what they are shouting and what they are shouting, they can't hear clearly.

"Mother, it seems to be shouting that you have won!" Xiao Jing, who had been listening to the noise outside, suddenly opened his mouth and said.

The expressions of the other three women in the room changed in an instant.

"Jing'er, did you really win?" Xiao Han suddenly turned his head and looked at his little grandson.

Before Xiao Jing could speak, there were already rapid footsteps and Xiao Cheng's joyful voice.

"We won, we won, auntie, sister-in-law, eldest brother won, with ten breakthroughs, a big victory!"

With a bang, the door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open, and Xiao Cheng, who was sweating profusely, appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face.

The drumstick in Xiao Han's hand fell weakly to the ground.

However, when Gao Qi heard Xiao Cheng's words, her whole body was paralyzed to the ground as if she had lost her bones, and Xiao Yan on the side quickly helped her sister-in-law up.

Only Xiao Jing, who is not yet sensible, doesn't know what happened, but looking at the current situation, it seems that he no longer needs to be detained and kneeled in this small place where he can't even breathe fast, but can go out to play.This discovery made him jump, jump, and cheer in the small Buddhist hall.

What exactly he won, he didn't know anything.

Although Xiao Yu and Xiao Ding have not returned yet, the door to the central hall of Xiao's residence has been opened, and the graceful and luxurious Xiao Han, who has restored everyone's hostess, sits in the middle. The lobby has been lined up to the outside of the lobby.Awe-inspiringly listened to the hostess's orders.

"Uncle Xu, send someone to send a thousand catties of sesame oil and a thousand dollars to Daxiangguo Temple to repay my vows for me!"

Xiao Cheng didn't expect that the first thing the big concubine would do was to thank the big monk, and he was immediately unhappy.

"Ma'am, the eldest brother showed his great power, and the soldiers under his command used their lives to win this great victory. What's the matter with the monk? It's better to use this money to reward the soldiers!" Xiao Cheng said.

"What do you know?" Xiao Han glared at his second son dissatisfied. She knew that this son had always had a bad impression of monks and Taoists, and often read in front of her that these people were parasites. "Three days ago, I went to Daxiangguo Temple to make a wish, and the abbot told me personally that the Bodhisattva would definitely bless Dalang to show his great power and return unharmed! You didn't say that Dalang and his personal guards are all Isn't there less? If it wasn't for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, how could it have such a good ending?"

Seeing that Xiao Han was about to clean up his appearance after a disagreement, Xiao Cheng closed his mouth, but he said in his heart, if Zhang Chao and Zhang Taiwei also went to Daxiangguo Temple three days ago to ask for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, then the Daxiangguo would What the abbot of the temple said to Taiwei Zhang was probably the same as what his eldest sister-in-law said.

Anyway, winning is the result of the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

If you lose, are you still in the mood to go to Daxiangguo Temple to settle accounts with him?

He didn't want him to pay half a penny, but he was able to make such a big gain, it really was faster than robbery!Road robbery also costs!

Seeing that Xu Wuyan was going to arrange to thank the monk, Xiao Han was instructing his servants one after another, and he was going to make a big purchase. looks like.

Sure enough, after allocating these, Xiao Han turned to look at Xiao Cheng: "Erlang, I will give you a list when you go back. You write the invitation, and then send it to the door in person. My Xiao family wants a feast for guests."

Xiao Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, those monks in Xie Xiangguo Temple are nothing more than that, those monks will not tell the outside world how much wealth they have received, as for the guests of the banquet, baby, you should be more cautious! "

"What's the point of this?" Xiao Han said angrily.

"Mother, this time the eldest brother showed his mighty power and shocked four people, but the [-]-horse soldiers of the Long Guard Army suffered heavy casualties. According to the boy's view at the scene, the last remaining ones were only in their early thirties, and there were others. Nearly seventy people, most of them died, and some were seriously injured." Xiao Cheng whispered. "Most of these people are from Bianliang. Although I can't blame the big brother for this, people always die in the hands of our Xiao family. These people's families are going to funerals, but our Xiao family is celebrating. Let people talk. I can't say that I will be instigated by some conscientious people to come to our house to make trouble!"

"Dare they? Can Wang Fa tolerate them making trouble?"

Xiao Cheng sighed: "Ma'am, this victory for eldest brother will increase the reputation of our Xiao family. Is there any reason not to be jealous? If all the people who come here are orphans, widows and mothers, White-haired Wenggu, what can the government do? Don't say anything else, let these people gather in front of our house to cry, I'm afraid the people of Bianliang will hate our Xiao family a little bit."

Hearing Xiao Cheng say this, Xiao Han suddenly fell silent.Although these people are not taken seriously, reputation, for a family, is extremely important.

"Also, after this incident, I'm afraid that the matter of the Shang Fourth Army going to the Northern Territory for a round of battles will be settled. Once the cause and effect of this matter spreads, there will be more people who hate Big Brother and our Xiao family. After all, being a soldier in Bianliang, the salary is good, and there is no fear of life, but when you arrive at the border area, it will be precarious." Xiao Cheng continued.

Xiao Han's face changed color, "Erlang, why didn't you explain these things to your father and brother earlier, this, isn't this putting the Xiao family on the fire?"

"Ma'am, father and elder brother are the kind of people who don't care about themselves for the country, even if I say it, what's the use?" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "The current plan is to do some remedial work. "

"How to remedy it?" Xiao Han said nervously.

"My son has the list of these Ma Jun personnel, let the servants go and find out, but if there are casualties, let's take some money out of the Xiao family to compensate them, although people will still hate us, but at least in Dayi Above, we can explain the past, and it is beyond reproach in the Shilin Qing Dynasty." Xiao Cheng said.

"Just do it!" Xiao Han nodded again and again: "Then our house will not celebrate."

"We still have to celebrate, but we have to close the door, and it is necessary for the family to celebrate. In the past ten days, it has been a little tight up and down, and I always want to give a reward and relax. of."

"It makes sense!" Xiao Han said thoughtfully.
