MTL - A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 16 Correct name
"What, do you regret it?"
Rong Ke's voice rang out outside the house.
"No." Xiao Jingduo responded and walked out.
There is nothing to regret.
The parlour of the female family banquet arrived in a flash, and the sharp-eyed people saw Princess Pingwei and Princess Yangxin, and got up to greet them. Wu Junru was standing in the crowd smiling, but when she looked away, she saw Xiao Jingduo walking behind Princess Pingwei. Wu Junru's eyes changed suddenly, and the smile on her face suddenly condensed.
Wu Junru had an ominous premonition in her heart. She always felt that Xiao Jingduo was only a nine-year-old child. Although it was difficult, it was not difficult to deal with. Therefore, Wu Junru did not take Xiao Jingduo to heart, let alone as a child. opponent. But now, seeing Xiao Jingduo who appeared beside the princess inexplicably, Wu Junru suddenly realized that she might be seeing the wrong person.
The first head-to-head confrontation between Xiao Jingduo and Wu Junru started silently in the noisy Zhao Guogong's mansion.
Other ladies naturally saw Xiao Jingduo, their eyes turned around Princess Pingwei and Xiao Jingduo, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, who is this?"
Princess Pingwei and Xiao Jingduo waved and motioned for him to come forward, then she raised her head and looked at Wu Junru with a half-smile: "Mrs. Dingyong, who do you think this is?"
After finishing speaking, although Wu Junru smiled, her tone had become severe, and she shouted to Xiao Jingduo: "It's so unruly to go out to a banquet, run around without saying anything, and even go to harass the princess. You. Come over soon?"
Now, even if Wu Junru is slow, she should realize what Xiao Jingduo wants to do. Well, she actually learned to use a knife to kill. Wu Junru has always been proud of her identity as a time traveler, and it is no problem to deal with these ancient people confidently, but just after just one encounter, Wu Junru felt that she might have overestimated herself.
Wu Junru thought that Pingwei was just a domineering and brainless princess, but it turned out that it was reasonable for the Rong family to conquer the world. Fang Caipingwei's short question seemed casual, but there were traps everywhere. No matter if Wu Junru said that Xiao Jingduo was a concubine or a direct son, Pingwei would catch the flaw. Wu Junru could only avoid it without answering, and instead threatened Xiao Jingduo. , turn this into a family affair. Even if the princess is unreasonable, she can't interfere in other people's housework. As long as Wu Junru suppresses Xiao Jingduo and makes him shut up, then today's crisis can be passed safely.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jingduo is not a soft persimmon for her to knead. Xiao Jingduo stood there and did not intend to go to Wu Junru's side. Princess Pingwei also reached out and stopped Xiao Jingduo: "Why is Mrs. Hou so fierce? Could it be that the identity of this child cannot be asked? Expensive, it seems that it is nothing more than that, and he will do some unprofessional things, such as harshly treating the children left by the predecessors?"
The ladies were in an uproar, they didn't expect to hear such a sudden news. After the ladies exchanged meaningful glances with the people around them, they all pricked up their ears, eagerly looking forward to this big drama between the royal princess and the daughter of the aristocratic family.
This is already a threat, Princess Pingwei's expression is stagnant, and she has already shown anger: "Wu's eight mothers, you are a person who has been divorced, and you dare to be disrespectful to this palace?"
Wu Junru was also annoyed when Ping Wei mentioned that she had been dismissed from the family by the Bai family: "Princess be careful. I know the princess still cares about the past, but it is too unreasonable to take anger at me for this. Is it reasonable? All the ladies here must know how hard it is for a woman to be divorced. I almost lost my life because of this. Now the princess is mercilessly exposing people's scars because of a little conflict of spirit. Is it kindness?"
People are always accustomed to pity the weak, Princess Pingwei is aggressive, but Wu Junru is forced to cry. In such a comparison, it turns out that most of the ladies favor Wu Junru.
Princess Pingwei has always been tough. In recent years, she has followed her father and brother to fight in the north and south, charging and killing thieves. The most difficult thing is to see such women who are about to cry without saying a word, but she The world eats this one. She raised her eyebrows and was about to scold Wu Junru severely, but suddenly a hand grabbed her sleeve.
"I still don't understand after talking for a long time", Rong Ke, who was quiet like a porcelain doll after entering the door, suddenly said, "Is this... brother?"
When talking about the word brother, Rong Ke obviously paused, obviously reluctant.
Xiao Jingduo ignored the little girl's thoughts, he immediately understood Rong Ke's intention, and took over the words very smoothly: "I don't know either, I have to ask Mrs. Dingyonghou."
Rong Ke smiled lightly, looked at Wu Junru nonchalantly, her eyes were shining: "Mrs. Hou, is he a concubine?"
Wu Junru opened her mouth, although she had already agreed with the Xiao family to let Xiao Jingduo be the concubine, but in front of so many people, she dared not say it, so she vaguely said: "This is our The family affairs of Hou's mansion, the county master even takes care of this?"
"Family affairs." Rong Ke nodded and smiled, "It turned out that the wife was a concubine, and the concubine was a concubine. In Mrs. Wu's opinion, it turned out to be a family affair. The family style of the Wu family really calls me. Eye-opener."
Wu Junru had an ominous premonition in her heart: "What does the county lord mean? The Qinghe Wu family is a century-old family.
"It wasn't taught by the Wu family, that's the Cui family?" Rong Ke nodded, "I still wonder how you dare to do such a whimsical thing to make the son of your original wife a concubine, It turned out to be the Cui family's order. Sigh, I heard that the Cui family's daughter is going to enter the palace to be the queen, she shouldn't be accustomed to the blood of our predecessors, and she will do the same thing..."
"The county master speaks carefully!" Wu Junru hurriedly stopped. The Wu family was completely attached to the Cui family, and she did not dare to offend the Cui family with Wu Junru's courage. Wu Junru cried out in panic, "What does this have to do with the Cui family?"
Before she finished speaking, she also figured out what it had to do with it. It turned out that after a circle, the real purpose of this little princess was Cui.
Xiao Jingduo should have thought about it when he was at home. Rong Ke went around in such a circle, not to decide for him, but to use his strength to fight against the reputation of the Qinghe Cui family.
Even Xiao Jingduo faintly heard that after the emperor succeeded to the throne, the Empress Yuan had passed away, and the emperor intended to hire the daughter of the Cui family. And Rong Ke is the daughter of the crown prince, the direct bloodline of the Empress Yuan, and naturally does not want to have another middle palace queen, especially this one is a woman with five surnames.
No wonder, Xiao Jingduo realized that his business was just handing Rong Ke a raft, a raft that justifiably attacked Cui. First, Wu Junru was cited, and then the relationship was involved with the Cui family. If Cui's daughter really had the reputation of not being able to tolerate Yuan's wife and daughter, let alone entering the palace, it would not even be easy to marry. After the connection, Xiao Jingduo couldn't help but sigh, the royal family's beauty and ruthlessness really deserved their reputation, even a bean-sized little girl had such a scheming.
Wu Junru faintly felt that what happened today was a big deal. If it really involved the Cui family, the elders of the Wu family could come over and peel her skin without Cui's action. Wu Junru was in a dilemma, but Rong Ke was still unwilling to let her go, pressing her step by step: "Mrs Wu, you haven't said yet, is he a descendant or a concubine?"
Xiao Jingduo added in a timely manner: "The mother's marriage certificate is still there, and I believe the Zhuo County government also has records."
Wu Junru's face was stiff, obviously not wanting to face this question, Rong Ke smiled and asked again: "Madam, why don't you speak?"
The muscles on Wu Junru's face were stiff, she pulled the corners of her mouth without smiling, gritted her teeth and said, "It's the heir."
Even if Wu Junru was not willing to let Xiao Jingduo be the eldest son, at this moment, he could only smash silver teeth and swallow blood, and bitterly admitted that Xiao Jingduo was the heir.
Xiao Jingduo frowned and said, "Madam, didn't you tell your grandmother that you would never agree to put me in your name? Why am I now a direct descendant?"
The ladies watching the show were in an uproar. There was a lot of information in this sentence. They were all people who had been living in the house for many years, and they couldn't understand the doorway.
Wonderful, are the days of Dingyong Houfu so lively?
Wu Junru's teeth were about to bite, she glared at Xiao Jingduo, her eyes bursting with fire: "Your mother is the original wife, you are the firstborn son, how can you remember it in my name? You It is estimated that I have heard wrong, I have never mentioned this to my mother-in-law."
"It turns out that it is." Xiao Jingduo nodded and said casually, "Then it seems that someone is talking nonsense, I just remembered it."
Wu Junru pinched her nails to the palm of her hand, she couldn't help the urge to hit someone. Xiao Jingduo, a white-faced and dark-hearted bastard, actually scolded her as a talkative woman in front of so many people? Wu Junru was in a hurry, but in front of so many people, she was not easy to have a seizure, otherwise wouldn't she be rushing to the right seat?
Wu Junru endured and endured, and then forced out a smile: "You forgot."
Rong Ke didn't seem to be able to hold back her laughter, she squinted at Xiao Jingduo, didn't say much, but made fun of Wu Junru: "Mrs. Wu cried just after being said a few words, but now I see Come on, Madam is very articulate."
Yes, the eyes of the ladies next to me have completely changed at the moment, and they were crying pitifully. They thought Wu Junru was really aggrieved, but in fact this person can speak well and even can Forcing the direct son left by the original spouse into a concubine is really worthy of standing, which is annoying.
The situation that was originally one-sided to Wu Junru immediately reversed, and Princess Pingwei cried out in joy. She didn't say anything just now, but Wu Junru showed a pitiful look, as if she really bullied Wu Junru, and the people next to her even turned towards this actress. It's not good to flatten Wei's nest, and I planned to have an attack, so I would scold these blind people, but Rong Ke stopped them unexpectedly, and Wu Junru's true nature was revealed in just a few words. While Ping Wei was happy, she was also a little embarrassed. As an elder, she actually let a granddaughter's child vent her anger on her behalf. Really... I don't know what to say.
Xiao Jingduo solved his identity crisis perfectly, and also disgusted Wu Junru. The stone in his heart finally fell, and only then did he have the heart to look at the little girl beside him.
She looks no more than four or five years old. What kind of life is going on in the palace?
Fortunately, Rong Ke didn't pay attention to Xiao Jingduo's eyes. She had an unexpected joy today. After Rong Ke achieved his goal, he was no longer interested in staying longer in the banquet room, so he stood up and said goodbye.
After coming out, Xiao Jingduo took a step back and walked in tandem with Rong Ke. He looked at Rong Ke's back. Although his thoughts were messy, he sincerely thanked him: "Thank you for today."
"Don't thank me, I'm not here to help you anyway." Rong Ke was very calm.
Xiao Jingduo also knew that Rong Ke's real purpose was the daughter of the Cui family who was about to enter the palace, but he just gave Rong Ke a chance to attack. But Rong Ke helped him correct his name after all, so Xiao Jingduo insisted on expressing his thanks: "Thank you, if you need to go through fire and water in the future, I will not hesitate."
Rong Ke just smiled casually, thinking that she had heard such words a lot, and she didn't think the other party would really fulfill it. But she was in a good mood today, and she nodded in response, "Okay. Your name is Xiao Jingduo. I have written down your promise."
Xiao Jingduo's mission has been completed, it is not good to stay in the backyard any more, even if he bids farewell to Rong Ke, he goes back to the front yard by himself. Before leaving, Rong Ke suddenly stopped Xiao Jingduo: "Do you have an uncle from a foreign family?"
"My grandfather has only one daughter, my mother, and has no other children. My grandfather died when I was seven years old."
Rong Ke hummed, frowning embarrassedly: "Then your situation is a little difficult. Your stepmother will not give up in the future, take care of yourself."
"I understand." Xiao Jingduo smiled lightly at Rong Ke, "Thank you for the reminder."
He made an assertion today and forced Wu Junru to admit her status as the eldest son. How could Wu Junru be willing to take a break? There is still a tough battle to be fought in the Hou Mansion.
He said goodbye to the young and wise county lord, and strode toward the carriage of the Hou residence. He has already taken the first step towards countering Xiao Ying and Dingyong Houfu, even if this will make his future even more difficult, Xiao Jingduo will not hesitate.
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
