After sending Fan Tingju away, Zhao Yunze wanted to go to the Xiao family to say goodbye.Now that Xiao has become his stepmother, he has to do his homework in the morning and dusk.I went to court today, I left early, and Xiao was still sleeping at that time, so naturally I couldn't ask her old man to say goodbye.Although it's almost noon at this time, I still have to go through the motions.No, before Zhao Yunze walked to the door of the backyard, Zhao Wen, the doorman at home, ran into the courtyard again and reported to Zhao Yunze: "Lang Jun, there are guests again." ”"Who is coming," Zhao Yunze asked busily."
Shangshu left servant shot, Xiao Yu Xiao Da."
Zhao Yunze was stunned, Xiao Yu came so quickly, it was difficult to hide the secret at the feet of the Son of Heaven.Although Li Shimin kept the matter of Xiao's return to the Central Plains a secret, there were many people who witnessed such a big event, and it could not be completely covered up.Sooner or later, the officials and gentry in Beijing will know about it.But Zhao Yunze didn't expect that Xiao Yu, his goduncle, would come to the door so soon.He's got long ears.At this time, Zhao Yunze hasn't even changed out of his official uniform.Simply, don't change it, hurry up and greet Xiao Yu.Zhao Yunze came to the gate and saw that Xiao Yu had not entered the door, but was just waiting outside the door.With Xiao Yu, there were two carriages, as well as guards and servants, and four maids, and the maids also brought "Lord Xiao is here, there is a disappointment, forgive the sin" Zhao Yunze arched his hand at Xiao Yu and accused him again and again.Xiao Yu looked at Zhao Yunze's clothes and said in surprise: "Could it be that Peng Yu just went home?"
"Exactly, Your Majesty summoned a certain person and asked for the details of the envoy to the Turks, and a certain person left the palace late." ”Zhao Yunze said."
Lord Xiao, please come in."
Xiao Yu nodded, leaving most of the servants waiting in the gatehouse, he only brought an old servant and two maids into Zhao Yunze's house.Come to the guest hall and sit down.The maid of Zhao Yunze's family served refreshments.Now, Zhao Yunze's family has four more maids, who are the four maids of the Xiao family.The names are Caihe, Caiwei, Yiyang, and Yiliu.After a few words of gossip, Xiao Yu ran to the point and said: "Peng Yu, the old man came to the door this time, what is the so-called matter, I want to come to Peng Yu can guess it" "Hehe, Lord Xiao's thoughts, I don't dare to speculate." ”Zhao Yunze said hehehe.What are you doing here, even fools know.But the Buddha said, don't say, don't say.If you really want to break it, then I'm not going to confess myself.An open secret, although open, is still a secret, and if it is broken, it will not be called a secret.Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly, and said: "Then the old man is cheeky and blunt, Your Majesty told the old man that the old man's sister was taken to the house by Peng Yu" Hey, it was actually Zhao Yunze who Li Shimin told him the news.After thinking about it immediately, I also understood that since Xiao Yu would know about Xiao's affairs sooner or later, Li Shimin simply told him directly, and Li Shimin himself could still settle his favor."
Yes, there is such a thing, a certain has recognized Mrs.
Xiao as his stepmother."
Zhao Yunze nodded and said."
Then Peng Yu quickly lead the old man to meet my sister," Xiao Yu stood up and said anxiously.Zhao Yunze hurriedly persuaded Xiao Yu: "Lord Xiao, don't be impatient, you can wait here for a while, and let me invite my mother here to meet Lord Xiao." ”"When did the old man say that he wanted to see Peng Yu's mother, yes, yes, yes, Peng Yu go quickly" Xiao Yu doubted first and then released, daring to show that his attention just now was only on the four words "there is such a thing" that Zhao Yunze said, and he actually subconsciously ignored Zhao Yunze's recognition of Xiao as his stepmother.Zhao Yunze left the guest hall, came to the backyard, went to ask Xiao Shi for peace, and told Xiao Shi the news of Xiao Yu's visit.As soon as Xiao heard that his younger brother was coming, where could he still sit still.Immediately followed Zhao Yunze to the front yard guest hall.When the sister and brother saw each other, they cried before they spoke.This pair of sisters and brothers used to be the royal family of the Southern Dynasty and Western Liang.The Western Liang Kingdom was broken, and one of the two became the princess of the Great Sui, and the other became the courtier of the Great Sui.Later, one became the queen of the Great Sui and the other became the uncle of the country.Originally, they were one of the noblest people, but fate caused them to suffer another fate of ruining the country and destroying their families.One of the two lived in exile in the Turks, and the other changed their courts, and they were in the Tang Dynasty.Don't look at Xiao Yu's entry into the officialdom of Datang, he is in a high position.But his career has also had several ups and downs.In his life, Xiao Yu served as prime minister five times, and was deposed or demoted five times.At this time, it was the third time he became prime minister.This pair of sisters and brothers, separated after the death of Sui, it was nearly 20 years, and after meeting, they had a lot of feelings.Zhao Yunze didn't disturb Xiao Shi and Xiao Yu chatting, he silently withdrew from the guest hall.After waiting for a long time, the Xiao family's maid Cai Wei came out and invited Zhao Yunze to enter again."
I patronized and talked to my sister, but I snubbed Peng Yu, the master."
Xiao Yu said apologetically.Zhao Yunze saw that Xiao Shi and Xiao Yu's eyes were red, and even the maids and maids had traces of crying in the corners of their eyes.What a touching scene must have been staged in this room just now.Fortunately, my brother went out early, otherwise he would have cried with him."
Lord Xiao, isn't my mother the master of this family," Zhao Yunze said with a smile."
That's right, now, the old man and Peng Yu are also a family."
Xiao Yu also laughed.Zhao Yunze smiled and didn't respond.Although you are my stepmother's own brother, I can't recognize you as my goduncle.Let's go one yard to one yard."
Peng Yu, since we are all a family, then the old man will tell us bluntly."
Xiao Yu said again, "The old man is here, and he wants to take his sister to the old man's house to live by the way, and I hope Peng Yu can agree." ”Zhao Yunze was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Shi and said, "In this matter, my mother has to make up her own mind." ”Xiao Shi nodded and said to Xiao Yu: "I understand the eighth brother's intentions.But now that Peng Yu has recognized me as his stepmother, I still live here with Peng Yu. ”Xiao Yu still wanted to fight for it again, but Zhao Yunze said: "Lord Xiao, the matter of my stepmother's return to Beijing is still a secret, if you take my stepmother away with great fanfare, then this secret will not be a secret." ”When Xiao Yu heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, the old man will not force it."
Turning around, Peng Yu sent a few carriages to the old man's house, and the old man had all the supplies to send to his sister. ”"Okay" Zhao Yunze agreed very happily.Xiao Yu had lunch at Zhao Yunze's house, and left after lunch.Xiao Yu's visit is normal in Zhao Yunze's opinion.But he didn't expect that Xiao Yu came to visit Xiao, but he stabbed the hornet's nest and caused trouble for Zhao Yunze
