Chapter 971: Chapter 971-Realizing Only After
When Xiao Baoxin passed the words to the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng, both of them sighed. No one expected that something that could really be done would really be done.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was naturally happy.
He was both happy and jealous.
The sour part was that they were now begging for protection. He was happy that the person who begged him agreed.
The marriage was decided just like that, and it caused a sensation in the entire Jiankang City.
This marriage was arranged by Xie Xian. No matter what he thought, whether it was the King of Yuzhang or Third Master Xie, they had already decided on it. Xie Xian had no choice but to take full responsibility and personally lead the entire matter. He asked someone to match the eight characters and exchange the Geng invitation to set the marriage.
Although the Prince of Yuzhang was young, Xie Jiuniang’s age was obvious. After discussion, the two families decided to set the wedding date five years later. At that time, Xie Jiuniang would be sixteen years old and the Prince of Yuzhang would be thirteen years old. After they got married, they would consummate their marriage after a year.
The Xie family can agree, but the King of Yuzhang has no rebuttal, no one does not agree.
In order to show the importance of this marriage, not only did the eldest princess of Xuancheng personally attend with her big belly, even Xiao Baoshu gave his brother-in-law face and the whole family attended.
The marriage was decided.
In April of the same year, the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng and Xiao Baoxin gave birth to a son. In May, Madam Wang also gave Third Master Xie a son.
XiaoBaoXin just give his son a full month, Jin Jin again beg to her front, and with WangQiang.
“I’m also twenty-four. I can’t delay it.”
Xiao Baoxin,[What’s going on? Seeing that the other marriage that she pulled the strings for has succeeded, this person’s heart has come back to life?]
“Twelfth Aunt doesn’t want to. Why don’t you… Find another one?”
Don’t hang yourself on a tree.
Jin Jin’s tanned face had a rare purple eggplant color, which was neither purple nor black.””I beg Furen to ask again.”
Xiao Baoxin realized that something had happened that she didn’t know about.
After all, the one who followed behind was Wang Qiong’s cheap son, Chu An. He was more scheming than a sieve and was highly regarded by Xie Xian. To be valued by him, at least it meant that he was a two-faced person with enough brains, enough tricks, and complicated tricks.
As expected, Wang Qiong was silent for a long while before finally nodding.
“You’ve put in a lot of effort for me.”
“You, why did you suddenly change your mind?” Xiao Baoxin was straightforward. After he finished speaking, he realized that his words were biased.”I don’t mean anything else. Actually, I think it’s good that you’ve taken this step. General Jin is an honest man, good at martial arts, and simple.”
To put it bluntly, Chu An was a stubborn person.
Chu An protected her and believed that Jin Jin’s kung fu was useless. She really wanted to play him to death. She was afraid that he would not know how he died. She was not afraid that he would bully Wang Qiang.
Moreover, there was still her, Xie Wan, and Chu Lingzi to protect her.
The Xie family, the Xiao family, and the Chu family weren’t boasting. None of them were easy to bully in Jiankang City now. Not many dared to take them seriously.
“You’re a good girl. You deserve a happy marriage with such a down-to-earth person protecting you.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled and said,” If he dares to bully you in the future, you can tell me. I’ll beat him up until he’s lost!””
“You said that he would protect me. Isn’t that a slap in the face?”Wang Qiang burst into laughter, revealing a rare face of embarrassment.
Xiao Baoxin had not seen such an expression on her face for many years.
It was not a choice made out of helplessness or a compromise to life. Instead, she was truly moved.
Xiao Baoxin let out a long sigh.” You’ll know after you get married. No matter how good your husband is, no matter how good he treats you, there will be times when he makes people angry.” My temper is bad, but Seventh Lady’s temper–she’s not much better either. Sixth Lady Chu is always good-tempered, isn’t she? Didn’t Xi family’s Silang make her angry and beat her up for a few days?”
“How can there be a couple in this world who doesn’t fight?”
“.. There will always be a time when I want to strangle him to death.”
“Cousin too?” Wang Qiang laughed.
Xiao Baoxin choked.” Of course I do. Of course, I’m just joking. He treats me so well. How can I bear to?”
Great, they were showing off their love again.
“I heard that Zhuge Shu is very annoying and his feet are smelly. He made Seventh Madame very angry, so she scratched Zhuge Shu. It was also by accident that she scratched his chin, making his colleagues laugh for half a month.”
Wang Qiong laughed until she clutched her stomach. This was the first time she had heard of it.
Because she was a widow, her close friends rarely talked about the fights between husband and wife in front of her. They only talked about family affairs and gossip in the backyard. Chu Lingzi was the only one who could say anything. However, she was pregnant recently, so she rarely went out.
As they talked and laughed, the marriage was finally settled.
In the end, after discussing with Xie Xian, he asked Mother Xie to be the matchmaker, which could be considered as the approval of the elders.
After the eight characters were combined, the marriage was set at the end of the year.
Coincidentally, Chu Lingzi gave birth on the same day as Wang Qiang’s wedding. On that day, she was so frightened that she was thrown off her feet. After a huge false alarm, Chu Lingzi finally had another son as she wished.

In the blink of an eye, the new year passed and it was March.
After the internal strife, the Northern Wu army had invaded the south, causing the people to be plunged into misery and suffering. After several battles, the officials who had been appointed did not enter the capital for a long time. Some even sat in their positions for four to five years. In order to avoid letting them become arrogant, Emperor Kang Ding ordered the officials of the various provinces to stagger the time to enter the capital to take up their posts at the beginning of the new year. Most of those who had been in office for a long time had received the transfer order directly. Those who had not yet taken over had already passed.
Xiao Baoshan was among those returning to the capital.
However, the person who took over his position in Jiang Prefecture was his younger brother, Xiao Baoshu.
This year, Xiao Baoshu was 20 years old. He brought the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng, his two sons, and dozens of ox-carts to Jiangzhou. A month later, Xiao Baoshan returned to Jiankang and became a servant.
Xiao Baoshan also brought his family back. In addition to Lady Jing and Andu, who were born to Lady Cai, Lady Cai gave birth to another son in the Xiao family. Sikong Xiao named him Xiao Pingbei.
When Xiao Baoxin first heard this name, the corners of his mouth almost twitched until his ears.
One was Andu, one was Dingbang, and this time, Pingbei…
His biological father had been fighting for his entire life, yet he still did not stop. He still wanted these grandchildren to protect the country and be invincible.
However, there was no sign of the Jiang family, who was rumored to have once suppressed the Cai family. It was as if they did not exist.
Sikong Xiao was not in Jiankang. After Xiao Baoshan returned to the residence, he had not waited for his official position in the court before he went to the Xie residence to visit Mother Xie.
He couldn’t say that he wanted to meet his brother-in-law, and he couldn’t afford to lose face.
However, in terms of family background, Xie Xian’s official position was obvious. Although Xiao Baoxin was his sister, this sister…She really wasn’t close to him. It was already good enough that she didn’t beat him up when she saw him. If he wanted her to take the initiative to see him, how shameless would he be?
After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Baoshan made the first move.
