Chapter 208 Meeting Ceremony at the Duke’s Mansion
The gate of Gongyuan was open, and there was a long queue of students.
Lu Yunjin raised his head, looked at the two figures on the opposite roof, one large and one small, and showed a smile without any haze.
He took the lead to withdraw his gaze and stepped into the examination room with the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
Luo Xi and the little guy looked at each other until the gate of Gongyuan closed in front of them. She turned over and jumped off the roof, "Master! Brother will do well in the exam, right?"
Luo Xi put the little one on the ground, held her little hand, and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Yes!"
One large and one small passed through the crowd and turned into the alley.
"..."
At the same time, the Duke's Mansion was bustling with activity. Since Luo Xi's invitation was received two days ago, the entire Duke's Mansion was ready to come.
The yard had been cleaned several times, and the servants put on new clothes in an orderly manner.
In the Fushou Garden, the old lady looked out the door eagerly, almost with eyesore, "Isn't anyone here yet? Rui'er, go and take a look again!"
After five or six trips back and forth, Qi Rui, who was about to break his leg: "???"
Seeing his younger brother running out as if resigned to his fate, Qi Yan, the second eldest brother, said jokingly:
"Grandma mobilized so many people to invite two aunts from Xiangguo Temple to come back. I even thought that the guests who came today were the descendants of our family who were living abroad!"
"What nonsense!" The old lady rolled her eyes at her grandson and warned, "Stop your arrogant look and don't scare my grandson later."
The gang of monkeys at home don't know that Luo Xi is a girl, so they dare to talk nonsense. They will regret it in the future!
While he was talking, the old man's face was glowing and he personally led two figures, one large and one small, towards them with their heads held high.
They were talking from time to time, and the boy who was prettier than a woman made his always stern grandfather smile. Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and stood up to greet him.
Unexpectedly, his grandmother was faster than him. She held the brat's hand and her eyes were red with excitement, "My child! You have suffered so much. Just come back! Just come back!"
Luo Xi's hands were held by the old man in front of her, and she was forced to let go of Miss Lu. The nanny beside the old lady was very eye-catching, and took the little girl's hand to the side courtyard for dinner.
The little girl was very obedient. After Luo Xi nodded, Peipianpidian followed the others.
The old man's big hands were warm and generous. Luo Xi raised her lips and called sweetly: "Grandma and uncle!"
Qi Yan trembled and asked his stupid brother beside him: "Don't you think our little cousin is a bit girly?"
Qi Kuo scratched his head, "Mom? You didn't see her punching the blind man's teeth out."
Qi Yan: "..." He stepped forward and held his grandmother's shoulders, his smile remaining on the surface, "It's not rude to stand outside the door and talk. Grandma, please invite the guests in quickly."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the old Duke roared at him like a Hedong lion: "Who are you visiting? This is your cousin, my own cousin!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Cousin! Please come to the house!" Qi Yan smiled on his face but disapproved in his heart. He had many younger brothers and cousins.
Including those princes who were also his cousins, none of them were simple. His grandparents paid too much attention to family ties.
He is a civil servant, and he is used to intrigues and deceptions in the court, so naturally he will not easily trust and accept someone.
There are not many stories of people being stabbed in the back by so-called relatives or being thrown away after use!
Whether this cousin is a human or a ghost, he will know if he tries.
But he didn't know how confident he was in his heart at this moment, and how much he would be slapped in the face later!
"Yes, yes! Come into the room and say it!" The old lady only had Luo Xi in her eyes. She didn't hear what her grandson said at all, and she didn't let go of her hand.
As soon as they entered the room, the old lady pulled someone to sit next to her. As if she couldn't get enough, her eyes never left Luo Xi's face, and the old man coughed lightly to remind her.
Only then did the old lady think of introducing someone.
Pulling Luo Xi to point to the first beautiful woman who was beautiful but dressed simply, she said, "This is your aunt."
Then he pointed at the quiet woman opposite, "This is your second aunt."
Sighing: "The two of them knew that you were visiting today, so they rushed back from Xiangguo Temple."
Luo Xi knew that the old prince had three sons. The eldest and the second went to the battlefield not long after they got married. Once they left, they never came back.
It must have been painful for a white-haired person to give away a black-haired person. What was even worse was that these two aunts became "widows" not long after they entered the house.
Since there were no heirs left, the family also arranged to marry again, but the two aunts were unwilling and insisted on staying in the Duke's Mansion.
For half of the year, I eat fast and worship Buddha at Xiangguo Temple, praying for my family and my late husband.
Over the years, the two aunts were loved by the old couple as if they were their own daughters, and they became as close as blood relatives.
"Xi'er has met two aunts."
Luo Xi followed the ancient etiquette when a lady met her elders. There was no surprise in the eyes of the two aunts, who already knew about her daughter's identity.
This move shocked the Qi brothers.
Qi Yan took a breath, with ever-changing emotions in his eyes.
A flash of light flashed in Qi Rui's eyes. When the eldest princess gave birth to a baby girl, it was known to everyone in the court. After he found out that Luo Xi was his cousin, he wondered, thinking that the information was wrong...
I didn’t expect my cousin to be my cousin... What a surprise!
Qi Kuo overturned the chair and fell to the ground, "She, she, she...she is not my cousin, but my cousin?"
"No! Why does my cousin behave like a woman?"
Qi Kuo's already unintelligent brain was completely inadequate at this time. His face was full of horror and his words were incoherent. He pulled his hair with both hands: "What on earth is going on?"
However, no one paid attention to him.
The two aunts looked at each other, took out the gift they had prepared in advance and handed it to Luo Xi. Luo Xi was shocked when she received it. The big red post was densely packed with small words...
This is actually the dowry list of two aunts. What does it mean to give it to her? Luo Xi is not stupid and quickly refuses: "No! This is too expensive, I can't accept it!"
"Take it!" The attitude of the two aunts was very tough. A smile appeared on the eldest aunt's beautiful face:
"This house is full of thick-skinned brats, so this thing is just right for you."
The second aunt, who seemed to be quiet and gentle, put the order directly into her hand and stared, "What? Too little?"
"No...dare..."
Seeing her in a hurry, the old lady was happy and said: "Take it, baby! This is the wish of your two aunts. They have always wanted to have a little cotton-padded jacket since they got married, but it's a pity that they are not lucky enough!"
After the old lady finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into a downturn, and the two aunts looked gloomy.
Luo Xi has never experienced such a scene? He calmed down his somewhat panicked mood, tilted his head and grinned, pointing at himself:
"I'm just a little cotton-padded jacket. My aunt doesn't mind wearing it on me if it leaks!"
The two of them burst into tears and laughed, and glared at each other, "You said so! From now on, my aunt will treat you as her daughter."
Luo Xi sighed in her heart. Back then, the late emperor was suspicious of his loyal ministers due to his tyranny, and planned to kill his two cousins, hoping to take the opportunity to overthrow the government.
It was the eldest princess and the emperor who worked together to protect him. One person was in the court, and the other went to the battlefield on behalf of his third cousin to protect the only bloodline in the Hou family.
There is no emotion or love for no reason in the world. Her mother is gone, and the Duke's office wants to place this feeling on her. As long as there are no calculations or bad intentions, Luo Xi will not refuse.
Reciprocity is her style of conduct. When everyone was caught off guard, she turned over her hand and showed off a small and exquisite sleeve crossbow on her wrist...
He shot a few arrows at Qi Kuo, who was squatting on the ground with a dazed expression on his face...
