Brother Yu didn't want to talk. There were too many people around him, and he couldn't say some words. After holding it in for a while, he finally said, "You are much more friendly to the king."
Xiao Rong touched his face: "Is there?"
Yu Shaoxie: "...No? If you had discovered that the king had this attitude toward you gentlemen before winter, you would have gone up to persuade him."
Xiao Rong blinked, not feeling that he was wrong at all: "This is a different time. The king was the king before, but now he is going to serve the country. I can't always ask him to change. It's not easy to change one's nature. Besides, the king is much better than before. Didn't you hear it just now? He asked the man to sit down twice, but he didn't listen both times, so the king got angry."
Yu Shaoxie looked at Xiao Rong in disbelief: "Two times is enough?"
Xiao Rong shrugged: "Third time is better than last time."
Yu Shaoxie: “…………”
He didn't know what to say. Xiao Rong used to be so determined to transform Qu Yunmie into the wisest ruler in the world. He had secretly worried about what would happen if Xiao Rong failed and his confidence was crushed. Now it seemed that he had really thought too much, because unknowingly, Xiao Rong had lowered the bottom line of a wise ruler for the sake of Qu Yunmie!
This is really, really...
Yu Shaoxie's face was almost flushed. He wanted to scold, but he couldn't. What's more, this was Rong'er, who was both his brother and friend. He was not like Cheng'er, whom he could teach a lesson whenever he wanted.
But at this moment, Yu Shaocheng came over to show concern for him: "Brother, your face is so red, do you feel hot here? Cheng'er, can you fan me?"
Yu Shaoxie said unhappily, "Go away."
Yu Shaocheng: “…”
Sitting up straight silently, Yu Shaocheng glanced at Xiao Rong in the distance again.
Tsk, this kid is my biggest worry.
From now on, he will either stay in Chenliu or take his brother out to build a career. In short, he cannot let them stay alone in Chenliu!
Xiao Rong's nose began to itch again. He rubbed it and continued to look at Qu Yunmie who was arranging everything in an orderly manner. He didn't notice the resentful look of the people around him at all. …………
The plan was changed, but the invitations had already been sent out and the chefs had all started working, so everyone still had this early reunion dinner.
Within an afternoon, the news of the early expedition spread throughout the palace. Xiao Yi hurried over to ask Xiao Rong whether he wanted to go.
Xiao Rong: “…” I don’t know.
Qu Yunmie arranged everything for everyone, even what Gao Xunzhi was going to do, but he didn't mention his own name.
Xiao Yi looked at him worriedly: "Brother..."
Xiao Rong smiled at him and wanted to touch his head, but found that he had grown a little taller. Although he was not as strong as Ashu, when Xiao Rong sat down, he really couldn't touch his head.
It doesn't matter. Xiao Rong made the second best choice and patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder: "Whether I go or not depends on the king's arrangement, but no matter which arrangement it is, you shouldn't worry too much. In two years, you may also go out to study. Do you want me to sit at home and worry about you every day?"
Xiao Yi lowered his head: "If I say hope, will big brother think I am a bad kid?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No. I'm your eldest brother, and every younger brother wants his elder brother to care about him."
Listening to Xiao Rong's answer, Xiao Yi was speechless for a moment. He nodded heavily first, then looked at Xiao Rong: "I hope that big brother cares about me, and I also hope that big brother can wait for me. I am still young now. Wait for me for a few more years. Within three years, I will definitely be able to finish my studies. By then, big brother will no longer have to take care of me, but I will take care of big brother. By then, big brother will no longer have to pretend to be nice to people he doesn't like, and he won't have to work hard for others. Yi'er only wishes that grandma will live a long and happy life and big brother will live happily. For this, Yi'er can do anything."
When he said he could do anything, there was even a fierce light in the boy's eyes. Xiao Rong was stunned because Xiao Yi behaved too well in front of him. He had never thought that Xiao Yi had this side.
However, if you think about it carefully, there are clues. First of all, Xiao Yi is willing to bet his life and future on a stranger, Xiao Rong. Secondly, when he is forced into a corner, he will become a different person. He will suddenly start to dance with his sleeves, socialize during the day, study hard at night, sleep only three hours a day, and never slack off no matter what the weather is, spring, summer, autumn or winter.
Xiao Rong: “…”
Sometimes he feels very awesome, but sometimes he feels like he is just ordinary.
However, Xiao Rong did not respond to Xiao Yi's promise. This time it was not a question of whether he chose to believe it or not, but a question of whether he needed it. Xiao Yi wanted to be responsible for the second half of his life, allowing him to indulge himself and no longer be busy. Indeed, many people hoped to have such a younger brother to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family, but Xiao Rong was not one of many people.
However, Xiao Rong did not discourage him. He used the same trick he used to fool Qu Yunmie to fool Xiao Yi back.
It was getting late, so it was time to go to dinner. This time there were many people, so instead of one big table, we put together two big tables, one for the men, one for the women, and a small square table for the children.
After the age of eight, boys and girls sit at different seats, but the actual rules are not that strict, so Danran still sits with the three naughty boys from the Gongsun family.
Looking at the children's table over there, Xiao Rong couldn't help but sigh that the birth rate of the Zhenbei Army was really low. All thanks to Gongsun Yuan, who alone raised the birth rate.
It is said that there was some movement in the Song family. After Qu Yunmie scared away the noble family who intended to offer their daughter, Song Shuo went back and exaggerated the situation. Their family finally quieted down, but within two days, they changed their target again.
