Chapter 123 Acknowledging Identity
"Ah!" There was only a scream, and two feather arrows arrived one after another.
The apple above Chu Junlan's head was pierced through his heart and fell to the ground. Xiao Rulan closed her eyes and hugged her head in horror. The feather arrow failed to hit the ground, and the apple also got out of the distance.
Chu Junlan smiled softly, and while walking towards Xiao Xu, he casually tied his long hair and fixed it with a silver hairpin. When he walked to him, his hair was just tied up, and the broken hair hanging from his temples made her face look white and clear.
"It's good." Chu Junlan patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder.
Xiao Xu grinned and called out "Sister", like a child who was praised.
At this time, no one laughed at Xiao Xu as a fool, and no one laughed at Chu Junlan for having to marry a fool to get into the upper-class circle. The women even felt a little envious when they saw such a harmonious scene.
Stupid? The princess is pure in nature. Can a fool do a silence? Can a fool wear a romance with a hundred steps? Listen to the sound of "sister", and the hearts are soft.
Lu Ruohan took the lead and cheered, laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the prince was so powerful. Wan Song was sick today but he didn't come. If he heard about this, he would definitely regret it and his intestines were blue."
The girls laughed and all pulled Chu Junlan to talk intimately. Only Sun Ming'er and Xiao Rulan wanted to comfort her.
"This is not your fault. Who can't be afraid of being pointed at by an arrow?"
"Yes, Sister Rulan dares to stand for a while. If it were me, she wouldn't even dare to agree."
...
Xiao Rulan finally felt a little better and sneered: "How many women can be so arrogant? Who can stand such a woman if she is worthy of a normal man?"
Her voice was not small, and the male guests not far away could hear it clearly, let alone Chu Junlan not far away?
Chu Junlan raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Rulan, without saying anything, and even without intention to quarrel with her.
Lu Ruohan was so angry that she wanted to come forward to argue, but was grabbed by Chu Junlan.
"Okay, let's go there to sit there. I haven't seen you for several days. Has the wife of Ding Guo Gong improved these days?"
Lu Ruohan was pulled away by Chu Junlan, but she was still angry and said angrily: "My mother is much better. After using the medicine you prescribed, she is much more energetic. She now strictly follows your requirements every day."
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "Isn't that good? As long as the people we care about, how do others have anything to do with us? Xiao Rulan is not anyone of us, and I am not gold and silver. Can everyone like me?"
Lu Ruohan was stunned, then laughed and took Chu Junlan's hand: "Junlan Junlan, I really like your temperament. She is both elegant and righteous. It is a blessing that the prince can meet you in eight lifetimes."
Xiao Xu, who was standing not far away...
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "He is very good too."
"Yes, I didn't expect that the prince was both civil and military, and that the archery skills of Wansong could not be as good as the horse. I think the prince's illness was sick and normal in the past, otherwise I wouldn't have learned so much. It is his blessing to cure the prince and his blessing."
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, and met Xiao Xu's gaze.
Xiao Xu lowered his eyes at a loss, turned around and turned around and walked around the bushes, and walked away quickly. His movements were so fast that when Lu Ruohan turned around, no one saw him.
At this moment, a commotion came from the garden, and greetings came one after another.
Chu Junlan and Lu Ruohan looked at each other and both got up and went out to take a look.
In the sunny and lush garden, two rows of eunuchs wearing light gray round-leaf Sunflower Mountain and royal guards followed an elderly old man slowly.
The old man was wearing a dark golden robe and plain satin dress. He was thin, but his waist was straight, and his hair was still not weak. He was a long bearded man with bright eyes and strong spirits. He looked like he was about 70 years old.
Lu Ruohan was shocked: "Why is this old man here too!"
Chu Junlan asked in a low voice: "Who is this?"
"Hey, this is the old patriarch of the royal family Xiao family, the current emperor's grandfather, the ninth uncle of the emperor, and the oldest in the royal family. If I remember correctly, he should be 97 years old this year."
But it looks like it is in his seventies.
Chu Junlan nodded in surprise: "Then it's really a strange thing that he will visit today."
There are very few nobles present today, and the royal family members are also extremely marginalized. Anyone with some identities will not enjoy bullying a "little fool" of the same clan. Perhaps they cannot find the opportunity to prove themselves on weekdays, so they will show their presence on Xiao Xu.
Therefore, Chu Junlan felt that some people’s nobility does not rely solely on their origins. Only those with virtue can have status. Those who are not worthy of their position have long committed suicide.
Thinking of this, Chu Junlan and Lu Ruohan had already walked into the crowd and gave a big gift to the old patriarch Xiao with everyone.
Old patriarch Xiao smiled and said to everyone: "No gift."
Everyone stood up, and all the royal family members walked forward with a smile.
"How is the old patriarch good?"
"The old patriarch is still so tough."
Prince Pingkang smiled and said, "You are here today, and your humble house is so glorious."
Old Clan Chief Xiao smiled and did not answer Prince Pingkang's words, his eyes actually fell on Xiao Xu.
"This is Brother Xu."
Xiao Xu was surprised, his eyes were full of childishness. He smiled and nodded and walked closer to salute, saying obediently: "Hello great-grandfather!"
In terms of seniority, Xiao Xu wanted to call him the uncle of the current cousin, and the old patriarch Xiao was indeed from his great-grandfather's generation.
But in the royal family, even today, they would respectfully call the old patriarch, let alone Xiao Xu.
Everyone shook their heads secretly in their hearts. They were really fools.
The old patriarch Xiao smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Brother Xu is now great. I heard just now that you can still do eight-legged essays? Do you read books on weekdays?"
Xiao Xu nodded: "Back to my great-grandfather, I have read a lot of books! I often go to play in my father's study."
"Okay, okay, you're a good kid. You're about to get married now. If you get married in the future, you have to live a good life."
"Yes, I must treat my sister well."
Old Clan Chief Xiao nodded repeatedly and praised, and smiled as if no one else was around, "When you worship your ancestors in the New Year, take your wife with you."
"Okay." Xiao Xu nodded naturally with a smile.
Everyone took a breath.
Between these questions and answers, it is equivalent to the fact that the old patriarch Xiao recognized Xiao Xu's identity.
You know, because he is a fool, no one in the Xiao clan has ever passed him. Not to mention worshiping ancestors, he even went to the Xiao family's imperial village and went to the ancestral temple to take a walk outside the ancestral temple, which was all defiled the territory of the imperial village!
But now, he has been admitted!
When everyone was shocked, the old patriarch Xiao looked in the direction of Chu Junlan with a smile.
"Is this the girl from the Chu family?"
Chu Junlan nodded with a smile, walked forward under the unbelievable gaze of everyone, and bowed: "Little girl Chu Junlan, I have met the old patriarch."
