Chapter 766: The Little Fairy with Broken Wings
The news that Xinbao was going to Jiangnan had spread, and many people along the way wanted to come and pay their respects.
This is most likely because some local officials wanted to curry favor and show their face in front of the little princess.
It is not surprising that local officials, who do not have easy opportunities to meet their superiors, instigate this kind of situation. The key is that the common people know nothing about it, and when others tell them that they can have a chance to see the gods, of course they want to see them, so it is very lively as soon as they dock.
Xiang Xiaodong was responsible for their safety, Yuan Shenjue was only responsible for Xinbao's safety, and Yuan Yaogui brought the people from Rangshanwei to prepare for the medical department in Jiangnan.
Everyone has their own duties, so Yuan Yaogui said: "No, I have no objection."
Xiang Xiaodong nodded and said, "No need to think too much, no need to explain, it's not that easy to see a god."
Yuan Yaogui nodded: "You are right."
He changed the topic and said, "Xiaodong, you are already old, have you ever thought about getting married?"
Xiang Xiaodong was stunned.
He has been alone for so many years, and as he has grown older, everyone has assumed that he is a freak, and no one has asked him this question for several years.
Yuan Yaogui did not wait for his answer, and said slowly: "My eldest uncle's cousin was engaged after she came of age, but before the wedding, the man's father passed away. He waited for three years, and when the wedding date came, my father was exiled, and my uncle was also implicated. The man kept delaying it. After nearly a year, my aunt passed away, and the man broke off the engagement. Now she is twenty-two years old, a little older, but she is calm and gentle, a very good girl, and my mother likes her very much, and often invites her to her home. When we first returned to Beijing, my brother and I were not there, and it was thanks to her that she accompanied my mother."
He paused for a moment, and then continued, "After my father came back, many people actually proposed marriage to her, but my mother blocked them all... She is really a good girl, calm, dignified, and close to my family. Before I got to know you, I thought you were suitable... Do you think it's possible?"
Xiang Xiaodong was silent for a long time.
The reason he didn't marry was more to punish himself than to take care of his younger brother.
He felt that he had let his brother down all his life and that he didn't deserve happiness.
So in the end he still said: "Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it, but..."
Yuan Yaogui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiaodong, don't blame me for being so affectionate. I know you don't want to get married because you have a knot in your heart, and you do it for Xiaojun's sake. But you have to look forward. It's been more than ten years, and Xiaojun has moved on a long time ago. You should also be more open-minded."
Xiang Xiaodong still said: "Thank you, but it's not necessary."
Yuan Yaogui shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to say something else, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. The person had already turned around, so he turned back quickly.
Then, Xinbao and several others, each holding a glass of peach juice, crowded near the small window of the cabin, with their heads pressed together. Several pairs of eyes were looking at the two of them, sparkling with interest.
Yuan Yaogui was speechless for a moment: "..."
Xiang Xiaodong turned his head and immediately said: "..."
Facing the looks from the two, Tuanzi sighed and looked at Xiang Xiaojun: "Brother..."
At this moment, not only Xiang Xiaojun, but even the most EQ-less Li Songqing, understood what she meant in an instant, "I said your brother is not smart!!"
Xiang Xiaojun sighed and nodded with a haggard look on his face.
Tuanzi held the cup with both hands and took a sip of peach juice, which left a pink beard on his face. He muttered, "Xinbao really doesn't understand. What does your marriage have to do with your brother? Your brother has his own life. Don't you have your own life? You are really stupid..."
She said seven or eight stupid words in one breath before she took a breath and said, "You are already an adult, why do you always get stuck in a dead end?"
"For example, Xinbao is seasick and feels uncomfortable. His wife peels grapes for him, Huashi tells him jokes, Xuanji makes medicine for him, his brother makes fans for him, and even Mr. Li doesn't do anything but he doesn't cause any trouble... But you, you went out and found a small boat, swung a hundred circles in the water, made yourself more seasick than Xinbao, and then walked back vomiting... Xinbao wanted to thank you, but he felt wronged because he didn't get anything out of it..."
She shook her head. "Not only is there no benefit at all, but I have to endure the dizziness to comfort you, worry about you, and feel sorry for you... but if I don't thank you, you will feel so uncomfortable, and you have done much more than others... Don't you think this is weird? Don't you think this is a lose-lose situation?"
Xiang Xiaodong was completely stunned.
This analogy is really... so insightful and enlightening.
Even Li Songqing couldn't help but laugh: "Although His Highness is young, he is really a wonderful person!"
Xinbao nodded: "Yes, Xinbao is good at everything except studying!!"
Yuan Yaogui laughed repeatedly and held Xiang Xiaodong's shoulder: "Come on, let's go out for a walk."
Xiang Xiaodong walked away with a complicated expression.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xinbao looked at their backs, gulped down the peach juice in the cup, licked his little pink beard clean with his little tongue, and whispered to Xiang Xiaojun, "Brother."
Nodded to Xiaojun.
Xinbao said a little embarrassedly: "Xinbao will tell you a secret. When Xinbao was a child, she didn't want her brother to marry her sister-in-law... because Xinbao really loved her brother, and she hoped that her brother would love her as much. She hoped that our family could stay together forever and never separate. She hoped that there would be no changes and we could just stay together happily."
"But later, Xinbao grew up, had his own wife, his own career, and many friends. He gradually became sensible and realized that his brother would not fly away, so he stopped doing that."
Yuan Shenjue couldn't help but laugh, he raised his hand and gently pressed Tuanzi's little head.
At that time, she was still afraid. Even if she didn't know it, she was still afraid of the ropes.
Xiang Xiaojun smiled seriously and said, "Your Highness is so lucky. You have such a good wife, such a good brother, such a good career, and so many friends."
Her round eyes were so big that they curled up into eyelashes, and her little gap teeth were exposed. "Xinbao didn't do anything, but he accidentally became a winner in life. Xinbao can't do anything about it. But my brother is also very good. God... When God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you. Although you are a little fairy boy with broken wings, you are smart, cute, and dexterous, and you have a good friend like Xinbao."
Xiang Xiaojun smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. I am also very happy."
A few people sat back down to chat. Hao Huashi went out for a walk and came back. He winked at Xiang Xiaojun suggestively and asked, "They are eating live pearls. Do you dare to eat them?"
Xiang Xiaojun was curious: "What are live beads?"
Hao Huashi said: "It seems to be similar to a raw egg, a chick that is half-hatched, but when it is cooked, it looks like it has a head and a body."
Several people frowned at the same time, only Xinbao stood up and asked: "What does it look like?"
