Chapter 108 108.
Xiao Beiyue moved quickly.Almost immediately after leaving the teahouse, he found his father.

Xiao Beiyue's father, Mr. Xiao, is the household servant of Dayu.He has an old-fashioned temperament, sticks to the rules, and is clean and honest. Therefore, around the well-known household department with rich wealth and wealth, the Xiao Mansion is also frugal visible to the naked eye.

When Xiao Beiyue arrived, Master Xiao was talking with his elder brother.I don't know what Xiao Nanhang said, Master Xiao laughed, and patted his shoulder lightly with one hand, obviously satisfied.

Looking at the scene of the father and son being in harmony, Xiao Beiyue's face showed a bit of sarcasm, and he stopped in his footsteps and stopped moving forward.It's rare for the old man to speak a few words in harmony with his sensible and obedient elder son, father and son, so it's better not to bother him.

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Nanheng turned his head inadvertently and saw Xiao Beiyue.He couldn't help but surprise and said: "Brother Yue, why are you here, but you came to see your father for something?"

Xiao Nanheng is already married, and his second child has just been born. When he sees his unmarried younger brother, he feels a little more love like a father for no reason.It's just that Xiao Beiyue felt that he was not familiar with the people in the Household Minister's house, and he never took the initiative to get in touch with him.Xiao Nanheng was lost for a long time because of this.

"Brother." Now that he was discovered, Xiao Beiyue stopped trying to avoid him, but stepped forward to salute.It's just that he didn't answer Xiao Nanheng's question, and Xiao Nanheng didn't care.Instead, he turned his head and shared with Master Xiao: "Father, Brother Yue is here."

Father Xiao has naturally seen it.It's just that because of the previous incident, the two had just argued, and seeing Xiao Beiyue at this moment, he couldn't hold back his face, so he just let out a soft "hmm".

"Father." Xiao Beiyue remained indifferent, as if the previous incident hadn't happened, and saluted Mr. Xiao in a polite manner.

"Well," Lord Xiao seemed to snort out of his nose: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

The younger son took the initiative to speak, and he was somewhat proud of it.But because of his father's majesty, he remained calm on his face.However, thinking of his son's attitude towards him, he immediately became vigilant again: "This time, if you come to me again and say 'being an official is useless', don't say it again!"

Xiao Beiyue: ...

Last time Xiao Shilang said that he was asked to take part in the imperial examination and obtain fame.He said that he had no interest in academics, Xiao Shilang took the next best thing and asked him to try to participate in martial arts.Xiao Beiyue still refused.

He believes that he has no intention of official career, and he is destined to be unsuitable for this path.Scholars, workers, farmers, and merchants, let alone those who are not in this category.There is not only one way in the world.

Unexpectedly, these remarks made Xiao Shilang very angry.He yelled at Xiao Beiyue viciously: "A good man should be an official. My Xiao family is dedicated to Da Yu. How can I only be happy for myself and not do my best for the country?"

Even he was so angry that he coughed, but luckily the servant beside him stepped forward and slapped him vigorously for a while before he recovered.In the end, Xiao Shilang said angrily, "You... you are really... absurd! I will kneel down to the ancestral hall to reflect on me, so as not to be sorry to the ancestors of my Xiao family!"

Xiao Beiyue looked puzzled.He couldn't understand Xiao Shilang's inexplicable paranoia, but he also felt angry.He believes that being an official is for the well-being of the people, not for being a "good man".Therefore, he said stiffly: "If you feel that I violate the precepts of the ancestors, it is fine not to regard me as the Xiao family." Compared with the Xiao family, he would rather regard himself as a person from his grandfather's side.

This sentence made Xiao Shilang even more angry and didn't eat for several days.From that day on, Xiao Beiyue left early and returned late, and never took the initiative to speak a word with Xiao Shilang.As a result, the relationship between the two became even more rigid.

Xiao Nanheng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.Now that the second younger brother took the initiative to come here, in his opinion, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so naturally he couldn't mess it up.

He winked at Xiao Beiyue thinking that no one was paying attention, and stood up and said first: "I see that the second younger brother looks happy, and he must have something good to tell his father, and definitely not here to mention those unhappy things."

"Is that so, brother?"

Facing Xiao Nanheng's exaggerated facial expression that seemed to twitch, Xiao Beiyue: ...

His elder brother Xiao Nanheng is the most satisfied son of his father.He took part in the imperial examination early, and although he did not win the first prize, he was also among the top three.Now he is a fifth-rank official in the capital, and he has married a wife and had children. It can be said that he has a successful family and career.

It's just... Although I haven't had much contact with him, Xiao Beiyue somehow feels that his elder brother is a little... a little too stupid?
He quietly turned his gaze away, trying to restrain his expression: "Yes. The son has something to ask his father today."

Oh?Xiao Shilang's ears perked up silently.What kind of thing made his son use the word "request"?Xiao Shilang was a little proud.He also said that he would not be a member of the Xiao family. Look, wouldn't he use me again?
etc.Thinking of a possibility, Xiao Shilang's expression became serious again.Maybe his son caused some trouble in the capital?The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and Xiao Shilang's originally calm mood became serious.

He was sitting upright, looking fixedly at Xiao Beiyue and said, "Let's talk."

Tell me how much you have done.Say it as soon as possible, so that your father and I can be mentally prepared.

Xiao Beiyue took a deep breath.Because he tried Jiang Shuhui's meaning before and was rejected, and had the same quarrel with Xiao Shilang as before, he never mentioned this matter to Xiao's family.

At this moment, he was inevitably still a little nervous.After all, he no longer has feelings for them, and whether he can marry Jiang Shuhui is still up to Minister Xiao.

"My son wants to ask my father to propose marriage to the eldest girl in the Xuanping Hou Mansion for me."

Xiao Shilang wholeheartedly thought that Xiao Beiyue had caused trouble, and he just waited for him to tell which family it was.Now when Xiao Beiyue heard "Xuanping Hou's Mansion", he felt his eyes go dark.

Xuanpinghou Mansion, how can he afford to offend.Wait, the eldest girl of the Xuanping Hou family?What did he do to the girl?

Xiao Shilang sat up abruptly, staring wide-eyed, not daring to say anything: "You, why did you offend her girl? Could it be that you, you actually molested her?"

Xiao Beiyue:?

Xiao Nanheng:?

Why can't they understand what father is saying?
"Father?" Xiao Nanheng suppressed the joy in his heart, and explained in doubt: "My brother is right, he wanted to marry the eldest girl of Xuanpinghou's mansion, but he never said that he offended her."

His younger brother came to the capital for a short time, and he actually had a girl he liked.Xiao Nanheng was both surprised and delighted, he was sincerely happy for his younger brother.

Oh, marry me.Xiao Shilang frowned, realizing that things were not simple.Xuanping Hou Mansion.If he remembers correctly, the eldest girl in Xuanpinghou's Mansion was born of a concubine, so in terms of status, Xiao Beiyue is worthy of it.

It's just that if he remembers correctly... That big girl, already?
