Xiao Kairui wanted to say more than that.
That year, every letter he received made him anxious and angry.
At first, the letter said that his seventh brother was naughty and unruly, and he was worried about his future. Later, it said that his seventh brother had an unusual obsession with corpses, and he couldn't sleep after reading the letter. Later, his seventh brother went to study at the academy, and he just felt relieved, but not long after, the eldest brother said that his seventh brother was always ranked last in the class...
His heart was like a hare jumping on the edge of a cliff, worried about the eagle in the sky and afraid of the road under his feet.
It was so painful going up and down.
At that time, he already thought that his seventh brother was a troublesome person, but he didn't expect that there would be someone even more ruthless later.
The seventh brother suddenly became a genius, but she did not take the imperial examination. The seventh brother was favored by the prince, but she had the blood of the old Li family. The seventh brother was granted marriage twice, but she... became a woman!
Every time he touched the letter, before he opened it, Xiao Kairui would think again, what happened to his seventh brother...
Xiao Cunyu looked at Xiao Kairui with a smile. Seeing his expression of emotion, he said with a smile, "I heard that your sister traveled all over the place. Since she's not in the capital, there's no need to be so strict about the rules. Isn't it just riding horses, shooting arrows, and drinking wine? You can do it again in the future. What's there to be sad about?"
"That won't do. The girls of my Xiao family are definitely well-mannered. How could they act like men?" Xiao Kairui immediately shook his head, then patted Xiao Cunyu's shoulder fondly. "Brother Jingmao, I'm about to follow my father back to Beijing to report on my work. I see that you're a worldly person. Why don't you come with me?"
Xiao Cunyu grinned and said, "No need, but I do have something for you to take to the capital."
Xiao Cunyu said this and asked Tieyi to take the object over.
Inside were two large, round, top-quality sea pearls and two longevity locks, which were gifts she used to celebrate the birth of her eldest brother and sister-in-law's second son and her fifth brother's legitimate son.
In the second year after she left Beijing, her sister-in-law Cheng Hongsui gave birth to her eldest son, and the Xiao family finally had a successor.
After the national mourning, several brothers got married one after another.
The second brother had been dating a girl from the Wei family, but the marriage didn't work out. The girl from the Wei family was really young and naive, while the second brother was mature and steady, so the marriage was called off. The prince and his entourage from Pingzhou returned to the capital, but the second brother had a strange disease and stayed in Pingzhou for a few more months. There he met a female doctor. Although the other party was from a poor family, she had an excellent character. The two hit it off at first sight and promised to spend their lives together.
After the third brother and Jiang Zhi met, they did not get engaged.
Jiang Zhi was very sad at that time and did not want to make another engagement, but it happened that after the new emperor ascended the throne, Xiao Guantang asked to be sent abroad as an official to gain experience, and Jiang Zhi was also on her way to the clan's land. The two had some interactions and became a little familiar with each other.
Both of them were patient and lacked impetuous passion. They both felt that they were suitable for each other and finally decided to get married.
Now she has a son.
Fourth brother Xiao Yingting is a rough-tempered man. His marriage was arranged by his second uncle himself. He agreed to the marriage after meeting the girl from the Yu family only once. They didn't have much feelings for each other to begin with, but after a year of adjustment after the marriage, they are now very much in love.
The fifth brother is now working in the Ministry of Works. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Ministry of Works set up a Thousand Workers' Institute. He is not good at speaking or socializing, and he doesn't understand officialdom, so he is content to think about his strange things in the Thousand Workers' Institute. He married the second daughter of the Minister of Works. Because the Xiao family's backyard is quiet, it is difficult for the couple not to be harmonious and respectful to each other.
Several older brothers also wanted their younger generations to be of similar age so that they could be closer. Therefore, in the past five years, almost every family had a happy occasion. Even the sixth brother in front of him got married in Yunzhou.
