Chapter 278 The Emperor's Eyes

All along, he seemed to be standing alone between heaven and earth, surrounded by desolate and dead silence, without flowers, trees, or people.

Only himself.

Later he met Xinbao.

He had never owned anyone before, and he wanted to pull her into his world and have her all to himself.

But of course that won’t work.

When he gave up this idea and unknowingly walked into her world, he discovered that, in her world, because she was cute, her father, mother, brothers, and everyone else were also cute.

So, he does have selfish motives.

He knew that behind the Governor Chen Benshan was the Second Prince and a large force. He knew that there were many things involved, and even though he knew that he was wrong, he could not deal with it rashly... But he still hoped that the Emperor would know that this family was made of flesh and blood, and that every one of them was a good person.

He hoped that the emperor would like and pity them, and then use thundering means to deal with Chen Benshan.

But he also has a sense of justice.

After all, as an emperor, it is not a bad thing to understand what the people at the bottom are doing and thinking.

He can be the emperor's eyes.

In the hall.

Xinbao finally finished practicing a set of Luoshen Dance. He was so tired that he was panting. He sat in Madam Lin's arms and drank her tea in gulps. His little face was flushed, and he spread his hands and feet. He was so adorable.

Brother Tang brought his sister over and fed her his tea.

Fourth Brother Tang stood up and poured more tea for them. He then asked, "Grandpa, was my mother like Xinbao when she was little?"

Before the old escort leader Lin could say anything, Lin Dalang put down his teacup and said, "Your mother? When she was little, she was much more naughty than Xinbao. You can't imagine how naughty she was! Children would say 'let go', but she, she won't let go!! When you take her out on the street, you have to hold her tightly. She is thin, has small hands, has no fear, and runs fast. If you are not careful, she will disappear as soon as she pulls your hand away, and she will hide in the crowd and you can't catch up with her!!"

Everyone laughed. Lin Dalang said, "Don't you believe me? Once, when Xinbao was about this age? Maybe a little older than Xinbao, when she was more than four years old, I took her to the street. When I was taking out money, I turned around and no one was there. I looked for her... I looked for her for several hours, and the market was closed, but I still couldn't find her. I was only fourteen or fifteen at that time. I cried and went home. When I got home, I saw her sitting at the table eating, fluttering her eyes, and asked me curiously, 'Brother, where have you been?'"

Everyone was laughing, and Mrs. Lin herself was laughing so hard.

Lin Dalang said, "I was so angry! You don't know. I was so angry that I leaned against the wall and cried. I couldn't sleep all night. Later, I didn't dare to take her to the street. If I had to go to the street, I would hold her like this."

He pulled Xinbao's little hand over, spread two fingers and clasped her wrist: "I have to hold her like this, she struggles, and when she can't get free, she will be obedient."

The group of people were almost dying of laughter. Lin Dalang said, "She was raised as a naughty boy. When your grandmother was alive, she complained about your grandfather every day, saying that the name he chose was not good. She said that if she was called Jiaojiao or Huahua, she would definitely be well behaved... I thought to myself, no, calling her Mulan would give me some psychological preparation, knowing that she is as good as a boy. If she was called Jiaojiao, people would hear that she is a delicate girl, and she would look pretty and speak clearly. But if you accidentally offend her, other girls would take out handkerchiefs to wipe their tears, but she would take out a knife to chop people. What a huge difference..."

Fourth Brother Tang almost fell off the stool laughing.

Mrs. Lin laughed and said, "You are the only one who has a mouth! You are the only one who can speak!"

Lin Dalang laughed and said, "I can't beat him, but you still won't let me speak? I'll tell you, at that time I was thinking every day, I have to save money, I have to save more dowry for my sister, otherwise my sister will probably be in trouble... Then I met your father."

He turned his head and glanced at Tang Dalang. "Fan'er, your father was even more handsome than you are now. He followed us on the escort mission, spoke kindly, and was thorough. He even settled the money for us before we even arrived. I even told your grandfather that it was rare to meet such a kind owner... Your grandfather looked at me at that time. Tsk, as they say, old ginger is wise. It took me half a year to understand what your grandfather meant by that look."

Mrs. Lin laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. Seeing that there was nothing useful at hand, she just threw Xinbao's small stool over.

Brother and sister were used to playing around, so Lin Dalang took it and threw it back skillfully, complaining: "Did you see it? Did you see it!! Other girls threw handkerchiefs, but our Mulan threw benches. Xinbaoer, listen to your uncle, don't learn from your mother."

Xinbao's eyes rolled around and he nodded obediently: "Don't worry, uncle. Xinbao will definitely learn from my mother!"

Lin Dalang didn't notice anything wrong: "Yeah, be good."

After a moment of silence, more than one person burst into laughter, and the whole room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The naive third brother also didn't hear it. He said, "Uncle, don't worry about it. Xinbao doesn't need to worry about this at all!! Xinbao can do whatever she wants. If she wants to study literature, she can study literature. If she wants to study martial arts, she can study martial arts!! When Xinbao grows up, my kung fu will be high. By then, Xinbao will be at home, I will support her and buy whatever she wants. When Xinbao is old and falls in love with someone, I will beat him up if he doesn't like it. If he really doesn't like it, I will change him. As long as I am better at kung fu than him, he will be good to Xinbao forever!"

Some of them were even funnier.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

It’s hard to list all the flaws in Tiehanhan’s words.

The elder was also sitting there. He was not arrogant. He listened to these people talking and laughed from time to time, but he kept glancing at Xinbao from time to time.

After hearing that Bai Gusheng really became his disciple, he had been thinking about this matter.

Although Bai Gusheng was simple-minded, his attainments in medical skills were unmatched. Therefore, this was definitely not simply because Tuanzi knew a herb that he didn't know, nor was it simply because of Yan Shenjue's provocation and bet. This must be because he felt that there was something he could learn from Tuanzi! !

There were indeed people in ancient times who were born with knowledge, but most of them were only seen in legends. All the geniuses he had seen were just those who were quick to seek. Could Xinbao be a person who was born with knowledge?

He was a man who always wanted to get to the bottom of things, and there were many strange things about this kid that made him unable to help but ponder.

After all, Mr. Yuan was an old fox who had been in the court, so his observation was very subtle. Probably no one noticed it except the second brother who had paid attention in advance.

Xinbao was even less aware of it. She was leaning in Brother Tang's arms, like she was sitting on a human sofa. Her two little feet were dangling, and her little arms were supported by her brother's big hands, which were warm and soft. She didn't have to exert any effort. She felt extremely comfortable. She listened to everyone talking and laughed silly from time to time with her little mouth open.

Her expression suddenly froze.

She blinked her big eyes, looked around the room, paused for a moment on her second brother, and then slid down decisively.

Brother Tang hugged her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xinbao grumbled twice, and Brother Tang thought she was going to the bathroom, so he took her little hand and went out. Just as the door opened and closed, Old Man Yuan clearly saw her holding her brother's hand and going upstairs.
