Chapter 187: Thinking

Liang Youxiao didn’t run away early to find shelter like Xi Rui.

Instead, he ran to get into a carriage with his father.

Today, he was sure that his father would not do anything to him.

It was a rare opportunity to be wild and unbridled, so of course he would not miss it.

Liang Mingcheng’s hands were getting more and more itchy, but he still held it back.

Back to the Liang family.

Old Master Liang has come back from playing mahjong. He heard that Liang Youxiao caused trouble, and his eldest son went to the palace to bring him back. He also had a headache.

He sat at home with a few others and waited.

Originally, the second and third sons of the Liang family were also second and third-grade officials.

But because Liang Mingcheng entered the palace first, he became the representative of the Liang Family to taste the corn, and the others were not notified.

As soon as Liang Mingcheng and his son entered the hall, they saw several people sitting and drinking tea.

“Father, you’re back.” Liang Mingcheng said hello first.

His father often goes out to play mahjong recently and doesn’t come back until dinner time. Today was rare.

Old Master Liang nodded, and then asked: “I heard from your Second Brother and others that Xiao Liu went to the palace to cause trouble?”

Liang Youxiao was not surprised at all.

After all, his second uncle didn’t get along very well with him, and his third uncle couldn’t stand him.

Before his father could say anything, he approached him with a smile.

“Grandpa, I didn’t cause trouble, but I brought glory to the family.”

“The Emperor rewarded me today.”

Old Master Liang was startled, a little unbelievable.

He looked at his eldest son and asked: “Did the Emperor reward you with something?”

Instead of a reward board?

Liang Mingcheng rarely smiled because of his dandy son: “His Majesty has indeed given him a reward.”

Then he talked about the god-given seeds and the Emperor’s rewards.

Seeing his second brother and third brothers’ jaws dropped with shock, he suddenly felt very proud.

Although the fourth master was also frightened, he smiled and said, “Second brother, third brother, I told you Xiao Liu is a good person. Look, he brought glory to our family.”

“Don’t always look at people through cracks in the door.”

Liang Youxiao added: “That’s right. Second Uncle and Third Uncle, am I so ignorant that I would go to the palace to cause trouble?”

He was not that kind of stupid dude, he was smart, okay?

The Second Master and the Third Master: “……”

You are usually that kind of person!

They were a little worried because the person who donated the seeds was not their sensible and steady son, but this indistinct and dandy nephew.

Old Master Liang has always liked his grandson Liang Youxiao.

He smiled and said: “It’s good. You even knew to go and donate seeds.”

Liang Youxiao immediately climbed up the pole and said, “Grandpa, not only did I go to donate seeds, but I also got some corn seeds in Nanxi County, and I specially hid them and brought them back to honor you and grandma.”

“Let you also be blessed by God and live a long life in the future.”

Liang Mingcheng: “……”

Why do these words sound so familiar? This bastard learns fast.

He probably won’t be able to touch this bastard these days. Older people like hearing things like this.

Sure enough, Old Master Liang’s smile was filled with kindness.

“Like your grandmother said, Xiao Liu is indeed the most filial.”

“Didn’t you want the hot spring village before? I’ll ask the housekeeper to give you the title deed later.”

No wonder, his old wife often says that Xiao Liu was the most filial person in the family.

Originally, he just listened to it, but now he suddenly felt that it was true.

The other grandchildren: “……”

They are sour!

Old Master Liang naturally thought of the honor and dignity of being the first to grow corn.

He also praised Liang Youxiao, which made the people in the second and third branches of the family jealous to death.

He also asked Liang Youxiao to give the corn to the housekeeper and take it to Zhuangzi for planting.

He told being optimistic.

He even announced that he was feeling unwell and would stop seeing guests today.

Otherwise, someone might come and ask for corn seeds. He doesn’t want to give them away.

The same situation also happened in the Xi family.

Xi Rui was best at escaping. As soon as he got home, he ran to Old Master Xi and Old Madam Xi to show his courtesy.

He also emphasized that he had gone through a lot of hard work to get this kind of seed.

It was brought back to the capital to honor the old man and the old lady.

Old Madam Xi was so happy that she couldn’t help hugging him, calling him her “darling, precious grandson”.

Looking at it made the people in the other rooms feel toothache and envy.

Unlike the Xi Family and other families who were happy, the Xiao family was very gloomy.

After Xiao Yuanshi came back, he asked someone to cancel the transaction.

Who knew his men would bring back a piece of news that caught him off guard?

The assassins have been dispatched to intercept and kill people, but the mission failed.

And the leader did not succeed in committing suicide, so they were all escorted back to the capital.

Xiao Yuanshi’s face was terrifyingly gloomy. The people from the Xiao Family who were originally coming to ask about errands all shut up when they saw this and ran away.

Ge Chunru rarely saw Xiao Yuanshi showing such an expression.

So she asked with concern: “General, are you in a bad mood?”

Xiao Yuanshi had never told Ge Chunru about buying assassins to kill his daughter-in-law, and he didn’t plan to.

He said: “Zheng’er’s wife has come up with some god-given seeds. She should be arriving in the capital in the next few days.”

Then he told me about going to the palace to taste corn today.

Ge Chunru was completely stunned.

She secretly cursed in her heart, as her fingertips dug into her palms tightly.

She donated a thousand kilogram of fine seeds per acre, the Emperor will definitely reward her, and the Emperor will be deeply impressed by Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.

Originally, that bastard son was good at studying, but now it looks like he will have a bright future.

No, Xiao Hanzheng must not be allowed to have a future.

Her smile was a little stiff, “This is a good thing for Hanzheng and the others.”

What Xiao Yuanshi was thinking about was those assassins. If the Emperor knew about it, would he be prejudiced against him?

He responded: “That’s for sure.”

Then he said: “By the way, you have to prepare in the next 2 days. I will send my parents to Northern Xinjiang.”

The Xiao family had been instigated by Shi Qingluo to come to the capital to cause trouble. If people from both sides get together, he doesn’t know if something embarrassing will happen again.

So before the people over there arrive, he must hurry up and get rid of them.

When she heard him talking about the Xiao family, Ge Chunru didn’t think so but had an idea.

“General, Dalang loves his concubine very much.”

“It’s better to let him meet Hanzheng, a promising cousin, and then go to Northern Xinjiang to take up his post.”

Her words were full of meaning.

Shi Qingluo encouraged the Xiao family to make trouble with them, they also ruined her brother’s future.

Then why not turn the tide and use the old Xiao family to deal with Xiao Hanzheng and the others?

Now the future of the Xiao family depends on Xiao Yuanshi. Xiao Dalang was completely fascinated by her people. When the wind blows next to him, then won’t these people not make trouble?

Moreover, Xiao Hanzheng came to the capital with merit this time. With the temperament of the blood-sucking worm in the Xiao family, they definitely won’t let him go.

She will let that woman talk more about the benefits in Xiao Dalang’s ears. She doesn’t believe that the Xiao family wouldn’t be tempted.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi’s mind changed and he also thought about it.

He smiled meaningfully, “Okay, you are still thoughtful.”

“They haven’t seen each other for a long time, so let them meet and I will send someone to send them to Northern Xinjiang.”
