Daming Junior Scholar

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao didn't understand what Xu Pengju was thinking. After talking for a long time, the husband still refused to agree to send troops. This incident was a condition for him to return to the Xu family, and he had hoped that he would return to the Xu family, but this time it was finally completely shattered, and the expression on Xiao Xiao's face became more and more indifferent.

Seeing Xiaoxiao's face gradually turn from excited to unfamiliar, Xu Pengju didn't know why Xiaoxiao must have been angry, and the expression on his face became more and more disturbed. If he didn't even do this thing, he would His status in the heart of his father may drop a lot.

"Sister, it's really despicable for brother to do this, but brother can't help it. As long as you agree to persuade Mr. He, I..."

Before Xu Pengju could make all kinds of promises, Xiaoxiao suddenly stretched out her hand and stopped Xu Pengju's words. After thinking about it for a moment, she looked at Xu Pengju with a firm expression, and said lightly: "Isn't it wrong to want me to persuade Mr. Yes, but I have one more condition."

"Xiao Xiao, tell me, even if I'm asked to pluck the stars from the sky, I'm willing to do it." Xu Pengju was so excited that he didn't know why.

"That's not necessary. In fact, my condition is very simple, and it may be the one you most want to achieve."

……Uh?

What does it mean?

Just when Xu Pengju was in a daze, Xiao Xiao said solemnly: "I can go to Pazhou to persuade Mr. for you, but as for whether he agrees or not, it is not something I can do, and after this matter is done, I will discuss with your Xu family." It doesn't matter anymore, from now on you are you, I am me, my name is Tang... Xiao... Xiao."

"Tang? Xiaoxiao?" Xu Pengju was completely stunned. She never imagined that the conditions that she had thought up so hard were so worthless in Xiaoxiao's eyes. Could it be that the Xu family was actually a big deal in her eyes? so unbearable?Does she really not want to go back to Xu's house?

"Xiao Xiao, do you want to think about it? Father still hopes that you can go back home." Xu Pengju made the last effort.

"Hehe." Xiaoxiao smiled sarcastically and shook her head: "Forget it, if he really wanted me to go back to Xu's house, he wouldn't let me wait in Suzhou alone for so many years. I'm used to it, it's no big deal, just wait for me, I'll say goodbye to Sister Yu'er, and then I'll go to Paju with you."

Chapter 1251 Dismayed

"Little? You...why are you here?"

Seeing Xiao Xiao suddenly appear in front of him, the expression on He Jiaan's face was extremely surprised, as if it was unexpected, but also as if it was reasonable.

When Pan Shangshu mentioned to himself that the Xu family had sent people to Suzhou, He Jia'an had a vague feeling that there would be such a scene today.

In all honesty, I don't want to see Xiaoxiao appear in front of me, but it's hard for me to stop this from happening. After all, it's hard to break the bond between flesh and blood, and the Xu family is just a family to me. It's just the rich and powerful of the country, but for Xiaoxiao, there are her relatives who are connected by flesh and blood. Even if she is really willing to ask for herself for the Xu family, I can understand her choice.

Understanding is understanding, but when I am faced with such a difficult choice, what choice should I make?

Even though I just met my husband a few months ago, when we met again, my little face still showed unconcealable excitement. I stood beside my husband as before, pursed my mouth, and deliberately showed anger "Why, sir, don't you want to see Xiaoxiao?"

"Then how could it be." He Jia'an was not so stupid as to say no, and shook his head with a smile: "It's just a little accident. By the way, he...why did he come?"

What He Jiaan was referring to was Xu Pengju who was standing not far away. Perhaps he realized that what he did was a bit despicable. In order to prevent He Jiaan from getting angry with him, it was wise for Xu Pengju to stand a little further away and smile at He Jiaan. He nodded his head as a greeting.

Xiao Xiao followed He Jiaan's gaze, and in order to prevent Xu Pengju from overhearing his words, he deliberately lowered his voice: "Don't worry about him, just let him be the bodyguard, I'll just find a reason in a few days, Then he can be beaten."

"Is this too much?" He Jia'an couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the little prince in Wei Guogong's mansion, who was actually recruited by Xiao Xiao to be his bodyguard.

Hearing what He Jia'an said, Xiao Xiao felt aggrieved and said, "It's not that I forced him to come, it's because he has a bad heart, so he was fooled."

"Little..." The He family settled down, with a slightly hesitant expression on their face, looking at her face tentatively: "Actually, if you want, sir can agree to their conditions, as long as you are happy, sir will do it for you." Some things should be done."

"Sir, do you know my surname?" After hearing He Jiaan's words, Xiao Xiao suddenly changed the subject and asked a question that even made He Jiaan dumbfounded.

"Hmm..." He Jia'an really wanted to say the surname was Xu, but the expression on Xiaoxiao's face obviously didn't seem like such a simple answer. Just as he was hesitating, Xiaoxiao asked himself and answered: "Sister Yu'er has promised me , said that Uncle Tang can be recognized as a godfather, so my surname has been Tang since a few months ago."

Surname Tang?

Hearing this, He Jia'an was really shocked by Xiao Xiao's choice. Xiao Xiao came to Daming not far away from Japan in order to find her father, and wandered for so long. What would it look like? After spending so much effort, I finally found my biological father, but what I got was a cold rejection. Putting it on anyone, this is probably the saddest story in this life.

Therefore, when Pan Yuda said that Xiao Xiao would return to the Xu family and let him send troops, at that moment He Jiaan was really tempted. Without it, he just wanted the poor child Xiao Xiao to have a safe harbor for himself. Can be docked.

It's just that I have calculated everything but never thought that this little girl has chosen a path for herself. She no longer yearns for that cold and emotionless home, but chooses to stay in Suzhou and stay in this warm big family. in.

"You...won't you regret it?" He Jiaan decided to give Xiaoxiao one last chance to choose. If she still doesn't change, then he will reject the so-called kindness of the Xu family.

Maybe I still have some regrets.

His small eyes suddenly turned to Xu Pengju, looking at the face that was very similar to his own, and the smile that he was trying to disguise, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he turned his head to look at Xu Pengju. He Jiaan shook his head: "I don't regret it."

"Well, Xiaoxiao, you go to the back with your fourth wife first, and I will leave all the matters here to the master."

Xiao Xiao nodded obediently, and then followed Chen Yue'e, walking towards the back house without any hesitation.

Xiao Xiao left, but Xu Pengju, who was left behind, was confused. When Xiao Xiao smiled at him just now, he thought the matter was over. I have realized that things are not as simple as imagined.

"Master He, what Xiaoxiao just said... did you agree?" Xu Pengju asked tentatively.

"I agree." He Jiaan nodded.

"Really?" Xu Pengju was overjoyed immediately, with an unconcealable smile on his face, and asked repeatedly: "Then when will Lord He send warships into the mouth of the Yangtze River?"

"Enter the Yangtze River Estuary?" He Jiaan looked strange: "Why do you want to enter the Yangtze River Estuary?"

Uh……?

Could it be that I misunderstood something?

Xu Pengju blinked, with an innocent expression on his face: "Didn't Mr. He just say that he had promised Xiaoxiao?"

"I agreed."

Seeing He Jiaan nodding again, Xu Pengju thought he was teasing him, and just about to get angry, a bad idea suddenly appeared in his mind, his mouth slowly opened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Just now What did Xiao Xiao say?"

It seems that this little prince is not stupid to the end, but he also realized something is wrong. He Jiaan looked at him with a smile, and nodded unhurriedly: "From now on, Xiaoxiao's name is Tang Xiaoxiao. I will not have any relationship with other people, I asked her if she would regret it, and she said no, so I have promised her."

"...What?" Xu Peng looked at He Jiaan with his mouth wide open. At this moment, he finally understood why Xiaoxiao came here to persuade He Jiaan. On the one hand, it was a waste of thinking about how to compensate her before, but now it seems that I am the stupidest fool.

For the expression on Xu Pengju's face at this time, He Jiaan did not have any sympathy. From the very beginning, knowing that the Xu family went to find Xiaoxiao in order to send troops to protect the mouth of the Yangtze River, his dissatisfaction with them had reached its peak. These draw a full stop.

"To be honest, I'm afraid the little prince really picked the wrong person this time. Even if I, He Jia'an, agree to send troops to the mouth of the Yangtze River, it won't be something that can be done right away. There is still a supervising army in Pazhou, and the emperor is on top of me. Without the consent of the emperor, my navy absolutely cannot move lightly."

"... Otherwise, please ask the little prince to go back and tell Wei Guogong that if he really wants to use the navy to protect Nanjing, then it is better to write a memorial to the emperor. If the emperor agrees, I, He Jiaan, have no reason to shirk, and I will definitely send troops to the Yangtze River immediately. mouth, but there is no imperial decree from the emperor... Let alone small, even if you put a knife on my He Jiaan's neck, it is absolutely impossible."

Chapter 1252

Compared with other yamen in the capital, Honglu Temple is undoubtedly the most special one.

Speaking of its special feature, this yamen does not have to go to work every day like other yamen, and go to and from work according to the time, because this yamen has nothing to do for most of the year Yes, I feel drowsy from being idle every day. If the monthly money is not calculated on time, I am afraid that most people here would like to change to another yamen to experience it.

Although it is boring in free time, but if you get busy, the whole Honglu Temple will be in a state of not touching the ground. After all, Honglu Temple receives all those foreigners who came to pay tribute, and they have a temper Well, naturally there are also bad tempered people. If you meet good tempered ones, you might be able to earn some tips. If you meet those bad tempered ones, then everyone is unlucky. I despise you for not being able to do what you do, which makes people look unhappy.

Anyway, the whole Honglu Temple has spent a whole year in this painful and happy life, and the people here have gradually adapted to the life here.

It has already entered winter, and the weather in the capital this year is a bit colder than in previous years. Ever since the previous minister of Honghe Temple was sent to prison by He Jiaan, Cai Yu, the original young minister of Honghe Temple, has taken over from Honghe Temple. As the Minister of the Temple, after taking office, he has worked hard and never dared to slack off, but he has made the Honglu Temple run smoothly. The several batches of foreign envoys he received this year have been extremely smooth, which made him finally heave a sigh of relief. .

Usually at the end of the year, when a large number of foreigners enter the capital, this time is often the most relaxing time in the temple, but today Cai Yu was lazy, lying in the warm bed, and did not get up until the sun was high. After dawdling in breakfast, he was thinking whether he should go to the yamen to order a dick, but suddenly there were footsteps outside.
