Yuxi asked Yunqing a lot of questions, and Qihao answered in detail, which made the couple very satisfied.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Qing said: "You are tired after such a long journey, rest early!"

Seeing Qi Hao's relaxed expression, Yuxi said: "If you do something wrong, you must have an explanation, and none of you sisters and brothers can be an exception." ”

Qi Hao is ready: "Yes, mother." I don't know how many times he was asked to copy the scriptures this time.

Yuxi said: "Originally, I planned for you to take Brother You to Jiangnan to increase your knowledge. Now it seems that you still stay at home and rest assured. "Not letting Qihao go to Jiangnan is a punishment for him.

"Mother......" But in the face of Yuxi's sharp eyes, Qi Hao swallowed back the words on the side of his mouth, lowered his head and said softly: "Mother, I know." ”

When he went out, Qi Hao had a bitter face. It was the first time that Qi Hao had walked out with such a look since he was a child, which caused the maids and daughters in the main courtyard to be curious. However, because of the strict rules of the main house, who dares to ask.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "I thought you would punish Qihao for copying scriptures!"

Yuxi glanced at Yunqing and said, "Qihao has good qualifications, although those scriptures are obscure, he can remember them after reading them twice." Dictating the scriptures was not uncomfortable for him. "People copied scriptures, and when they came to Qihao, they changed it to silent writing.

"If they let Arrow know, they'll think you're favoritism. "Yunqing feels that he is not allowed to go to Jiangnan, which is not a punishment.

"Since Zao Zao went to Jiangnan and came back, Qi Hao has always wanted to go to Jiangnan. I had the opportunity to go, but I couldn't because I did something wrong. You can imagine how much regret he felt in his heart. "There is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, not to mention Qihao, even she wants to go and see it. It's a pity that she can't now. Only when she was relieved of her burden would she be able to go there to have a look.

Yunqing had nothing to say.

Meilan said outside: "Lord, princess, the fruit is washed." "Half an hour after the meal, Yuxi will eat some fruit.

Looking at the plate of strawberries served, Yuxi took one and ate it: "Sweet and sour, it's delicious." Herui, you can also taste it. "Yunqing likes to eat sweet, but he doesn't like to eat sour.

After eating two, Yunqing stopped eating: "Are you going to let Brother You go to Jiangnan alone?" Although he was not at ease, since Yuxi had agreed, he would let them out no matter how uneasy he was. Walking the talk, this is an example they set for their children.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Let's see what Brother Rui and Brother Xuan mean! If they also want to go, then let the three of them go together." "Triplets have always been treated equally.

Having said so, Yuxi threw bait for Brother Rui and Brother Xuan. If Brother Rui doesn't go to Jiangnan, let him go to Qianwei Camp. Although Jiangnan is delicious, drinkable and fun, it has always been Rui Ge'er's wish to go to Qianwei Camp, and he chose to go to Qianwei Camp without thinking about Rui Ge'er.

As for Brother Xuan, Yuxi told him that it would be dangerous to go to Jiangnan. Brother Xuan was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that Qi Hao had been assassinated twice in Mianzhou, he immediately retreated.

Yun Qing's face was ugly when he found out: "This kid is too timid." If Brother Xuan led the troops to fight, he would run away as soon as the enemy army came. ”

Hearing this, Yu Xi was so happy: "You let a man with a pen to lead a soldier fight, isn't this nonsense!" Brother Xuan'er's temperament is not suitable for leading soldiers at all. Otherwise, the battle will be lost.

Yunqing was still very depressed: "Why are you so cowardly." "This kid doesn't look like his species at all.

"The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and each of the nine sons was different. Timidity has the advantage of being timid, if everyone is not afraid of heaven and earth like jujubes, we will definitely have to live 20 years less. "Brother Xuan'er is a little less courageous, but worry-free!

Yunqing could only comfort himself: "Fortunately, Qihao and Brother Rui are not cowardly. ”

Brother You knew that he was going to Jiangnan alone, and muttered: "Mother is so cunning, but I won't be fooled!" Thinking that he would retreat and think beautifully.

That's what he said, but Brother You still put forward a condition: "Mother, let my cousin go to Jiangnan with me!" It's not that I'm afraid of danger, but I think that going to Jiangnan alone will be boring on the road, and I have to find someone who can chat.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'll help you ask." ”

Hua Ge'er has no interest in going to Jiangnan, and he has no relationship with Han Jianming and Qiu. But if Yuxi asked him to go, he wouldn't refuse.

Yuxi said: "I have already told your father about your family, and your father agreed." He has already written to Xu Zhen, and it is estimated that he will settle the family matter soon. ”

Hua Ge'er asked, "Auntie, is my second brother's marriage still undecided?"

Yuxi smiled and said, "I have eyebrows, if it goes well, I should be able to get married this year." "As for whose girl Yuxi didn't say, it was not appropriate to talk about it before the family affair was decided, this is an unwritten rule.

Five days later, Brother You took Brother Hua and Yu Zhi and others to set off for Jiangnan.

When Brother Xuan arrived at the gate, he looked at Brother You'er who was riding on a horse and suddenly regretted it. He shouldn't have flinched when he heard that there was danger, but unfortunately it was useless to regret it now.

Qi Hao looked at Brother Xuan'er's expression, and said with a smile: "Don't regret it, there will be a chance in the future." "Not this time, then next time. In fact, not only Jiangnan, but also other places will go as long as there is an opportunity.

Brother Xuan nodded and said, "I hope Ayou has fun there, and then returns safely." ”

"Definitely. ”

Walking to the door, Meilan said to Qi Hao: "Lord Shizi, the princess invites you to the study, she has something to tell you." "Every time I say goodbye, Yuxi is very sad, so this time Brother You'er does not allow Yuxi to send.

At this time, there was no minister to pay tribute, Qi Hao walked in directly, and at this time Yuxi was bowing his head and reading the excerpt: "Mother." "It's not a big deal, Yunqing won't come over.

Yuxi put down the fold in his hand and stood up, walked to Qi Hao's side and asked, "Qi Hao, what do you think of Cui Weiqi?"

Qi Hao was puzzled and asked, "Mother, who should you know about Weiqi?"

Yuxi smiled and said, "Your father wants to marry your second sister to Cui Weiqi, and my mother wants to know what kind of girl he likes." ”

Qi Hao was not surprised at all, because he had heard this more than once: "Mother, do you also think Cui Weiqi is good?"

"Well, we know the details of the Cui family clearly, Cui Weiqi also grew up with you and your father, and there is no character ability, but no matter how suitable the external conditions are, I have to be willing. "Like Zao Zao and Wu Jinyu, the two of them are not a good match no matter where they look, but they can't stand the fact that they are both happy!

Qi Hao understood the meaning of Yuxi's words: "Mother means that Wei Qi has no intention of the second sister? It shouldn't be, right? My second sister is so good, how can he not look down on the second sister?"

"If he is really interested in your second sister, you can't see it for so many years?" Either Cui Weiqi hid his heart more deeply, or he had no intention of Liu'er.

Qi Hao frowned and said, "Mother, why don't I ask him in private." "In addition to Brother Hua, Cui Weiqi and Feng Zhiao and the other three have already gone on errands. Cui Weiqi is now in Qianwei Camp, and Feng Zhiao and Du Shao followed their father.

"We just need to know what type of girl he likes. "If Cui Weiqi doesn't like a woman like Liu'er, then this family business can't be knotted.

Qi Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely find out." "This marriage is a lifelong event, so you must be willing to do so, otherwise it will hurt the second sister for a lifetime.

For Qihao, Yuxi is still very relieved.

Qi Hao remembered something and asked, "Mother, Cousin Hua said that you made him a girl from the Xu family?" This matter was told to him by Brother Hua yesterday.

Yuxi smiled and said, "It's Brother Hua that General Xu himself likes, I told your uncle about this, and your uncle has agreed." ”

Qi Hao is still very concerned about Brother Hua'er: "How is the eldest girl of the Xu family?"

"What's the matter, don't worry about your mother?" After speaking, Yuxi smiled: "Don't worry, except for the appearance is not outstanding, all other aspects are excellent." I asked Brother Hua, and he said that as long as he is smart, capable, and has a good temperament, what are the requirements for his appearance. ”

Qi Hao frowned.

Yuxi gently patted Qihao's back and said, "Frowning like a little old man, ugly to death, you have to smile more, you know?"

Qi Hao soothed his expression and said, "Is the eldest girl of the Xu family like General Xu?" Xu Zhen is five big and three thick, if she looks like Xu Zhen, then this girl will be ugly. Cousin Hua is a talent, how can he not be worthy of an ugly girl.

Yuxi laughed: "The eldest girl of the Xu family is like her mother, and she is more delicate. You kid, your cousin Hua also grew up under my watch, how can I wronged him. ”

Qi Hao is not worried about Yuxi, but he often hears Yun Qing say that he will marry a wife and marry a virtuous. Qi Hao feels that it is necessary to be smart and capable, and have a good temperament, but his appearance must not be too bad. However, because of Yunqing's words, he felt that there was a difference between adults looking at problems and thinking about problems.

Back in Jingyuan Hall, Qihao wrote a letter for Ah Tao to send to Cui Weiqi, without looking for a reason, only saying that he had been in Mianzhou for so long and wanted to get together with him.

At noon the next morning, Qi Hao said to Yuxi: "Mother, after three days, Wei Qi will take a two-day break, and I want to invite him to Fu Ji Restaurant for dinner." "I can't let go of it in the mansion, it's better to go outside.

"Yes. After speaking, Yuxi added: "But pay attention to safety." "Although Fu Ji Restaurant is owned by their family, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.

Qi Hao nodded.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiu came over. This time I came over for Brother Chang'er's business. Lu Xiu said: "Princess, my mother and uncle have set a girl from General Liu's family for Brother Chang. ”

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "Liu Yongnan only has one daughter, I remember that she has already been married." "I got married, but I didn't get married. If you are married, the palace will give gifts.

Regarding the situation of the families of the important ministers below, Yuxi knows a little roughly.

Liu Yongnan's daughter Liu Meiding is a baby parent, and the man is Mrs. Liu's nephew. At that time, Liu Yongnan was only a military general from the seventh rank in Yucheng, and Mrs. Liu's brother-in-law Wang Ka opened two grocery stores in Pingcheng, and the economic conditions were good. The two sisters have a good relationship, and not long after Liu Meimei was born, the two sisters set up this family affair for their children.

Lu Xiu smiled bitterly: "The girl of the Liu family was originally married, but the two families withdrew not long ago. Lu Xiu was very well-informed, and sighed when she heard the news, but she didn't expect that this girl would become her nephew and daughter-in-law.

Yuxi really didn't know about this.

Lu Xiu explained the reason: "Mrs. Liu's nephew secretly raised a woman outside, and the woman gave birth to a son for him. "Mrs. Liu's nephew is three years older than Liu Meimei, and Wang Yu, the eldest of the Wang family, can't bear the loneliness and doesn't dare to sleep with the maid at home, so he looked for a woman outside.

Yuxi couldn't help but laugh: "You have to be stupid to do such a thing." "Liu Yongnan is not the seventh-rank lieutenant at the beginning, he is now the second-rank general, and the Wang family is still just an ordinary merchant. If it weren't for Liu Yongnan being a man who kept his promises, and the two families were relatives, it is estimated that this family would have retired long ago. It is not stupid for the Wang family to take such a big advantage and dare to do such a thing.

"Who said it wasn't!" Lu Xiu also felt that the eldest young master of the Wang family was full of mush: "After this happened, the Wang family and his wife pressed Wang Yu to the Liu family to apologize, and promised not to let the woman and the child enter the gate of the Wang family. ”

Yuxi smiled, the two families were not equal in the first place, and they dared to make such a thing before marriage: "And then?"

Lu Xiu said: "The Wang family was beaten out of the Liu Mansion, and then the Liu Mansion threw the dowry back to the Wang family. ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "It's not so easy to quit your family. "The benefits brought by this family are huge, businessmen are very profitable, how can the Wang family give up easily.

The Wang family was reluctant to quit their relatives, but after General Liu found out, he wrote a letter to ask the chief housekeeper to lead someone to smash the Wang family. He also said that if the Wang family did not return the Geng post, he would make the Wang family never have peace. "Liu Yongnan didn't quit his relatives before, not because he was afraid that people would say that he hated the poor and loved the rich, but because he made the most important promises, and he didn't care to do such a tasteless thing as breaking promises. But now that the Wang family is slapped in the face like this, he will not be merciful.

The girl has suffered such a big grievance, and she naturally wants to come out as a father. So Yuxi didn't think Liu Yongnan's behavior was out of line: "I haven't heard of this, I didn't report to the Wang family when I wanted to." "The Wang family probably didn't dare to report to the official.

Lu Xiu smiled and said, "They still dare to report to the official." "In case Liu Yongnan is jealous, the Wang family will really have no peace in the future.

The Wang family didn't care about how Yuxi didn't care: "I remember that Meimei's child is very good, and Brother Chang is also worthy of it." "The mother is weak and the son is strong, Mrs. Liu is a little soft, but Liu Meimei is a tough girl.

Hearing this, Lu Xiu had a headache: "The princess doesn't know that it was this Miss Liu who made the Wang family beat the Liu Mansion." It can be seen that this girl has a violent temper.

Yuxi didn't express an opinion, but said with a smile: "Brother Chang'er has a soft temperament, and Miss Liu is assertive, I think it's good." "The parents are the masters of their children's marriages. This family matter has already been decided by Han Jianming, not to mention that she is an aunt, even if the Qiu family opposes it, it is useless.

Lu Xiu came over to inform Yuxi about this, not to let her meddle in this marriage. Brother Chang is not her son, whether it is good or bad has nothing to do with her, and when her mother-in-law separates after a hundred years, she will be far away. It turns out that Lu Xiu still thinks too well.
