Yao Tianxi's frequent entry and exit of people once again attracted the attention of the Yao Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The servants trembled and served their masters with a spirit of twelve points, lest the young master pick another maid and make him unemployed.

Yao Zhenzhi and Mrs. Yao frowned, feeling that it was very inappropriate for their son to act like this, and asked Li Qi'er if he knew the intention of the young master's actions.

Li Qi'er had already been instructed by Yao Tianxi, and she didn't know anything about it, but she only said that the young master might pity her for cleaning Qingfeng Garden alone.

Mrs. Yao smiled meaningfully, it seems that her son and Li Qi'er have developed further, and her son understands that it is a good thing to feel sorry for people, so why hide it.

She was going to ask Ya Po to bring some people in to take a look, but Yao Tianxu said that she wanted to personally select a few suitable servants. It was rare for the couple to see their son so concerned about one thing, and considering that Qingfeng Yuan only had Li Qi'er as a maid, they agreed to let their son choose by himself.

Who knew that Yao Tianxi tossed for half a month, and he planned to continue this posture. Isn't it just to pick a few maids, and not to pick a daughter-in-law, as for being so troublesome? The couple felt very uncomfortable with more than a dozen strangers coming in and out of the house all day and night, and they felt the need to talk about their son.

On this day, when Yao Tianxi asked his parents to say goodbye, Yao Zhenzhi couldn't help but reprimand: "Why are you doing things so frivolously during this time, why don't you study well and toss around all day?" The scientific expedition is coming soon, are you ready? Well, your mother said that you have a girl you like, and you want to marry after the imperial examination, right? ”

"The child is not going to participate in the scientific expedition." Yao Tianxi avoided the important and trivialized, neither admitting nor denying that he was interested in someone.

Yao Zhenzhi said angrily: "Then what do you want to do, really want to be a farmer and wait for death?" You see you're lounging around all day long, not doing your job. What do you worry about the woman's inner house? You want a maid who you can ask your mother to choose for you, so why bother to contact those people yourself? ”

Mrs. Yao said angrily: "Okay, okay, how can my son be as unbearable as you say." Isn't it just picking a few maids, what a big deal? ”

"A loving mother is a loser, don't indulge this rebel son anymore." Yao Zhenzhi raised his voice.

"Didn't you make an appointment with Master Zhou for tea, go quickly, don't make people wait for a long time." Mrs. Yao pushed Yao Zhenzhi out of the door with a smile, "I will teach my son a good lesson." ”

Yao Tianxi whispered in defense, "Mother, you believe in the child, although the child does not participate in the scientific examination, he has not pulled down his studies. ”

Mrs. Yao turned around, and the smile on her face disappeared, "You said that you want to get married after the imperial examination, and you are afraid that getting married too early will affect your studies, which will make you say that you will not participate in the scientific examination, it turns out that you have been deceiving me." ”

Yao Tianxi was at a loss, lowered his head and said nothing.

Mrs. Yao burst into tears and lamented, "When you were a child, you followed Xi Yingzhendao to go out of the house to practice, and when you returned, you were not close to your family, I thought that my mother could still say a few intimate words to you, but now I know that you have no mother in your heart." ”

Yao Tianxi hurriedly knelt down, "Mother, don't get me wrong, the most beloved person in a child's heart is his mother." ”

"You're not coaxing me." Mrs. Yao fanned her eyelashes and wiped away the tears that were about to fall.

"It's true!" Yao Tianxi became more and more ashamed, and he couldn't wait to dissect his heart.

Mrs. Yao's eyes flashed with wisdom, "Then tell me, which girl do you fall in love with?" ”

“…… No. Yao Tianxi gritted his teeth.

"You picked the maid for Li Jie'er?"

"It's not."

"You kid, you won't tell me the truth," Mrs. Yao's tone turned sad again.

Yao Tianxi stubbornly admitted, "Yes, the child thinks that Qingfeng Yuan is the only one in Li Qi'er, and wants to pick a few more people to serve." ”

Mrs. Yao thought she had guessed the truth, so she pulled Yao Tianxi up and sat down, "I also think it's inappropriate for you to have only Li Qi'er by your side, what kind of maid do you like, Li Qi'er is like that or something else, I will personally pick a few good ones for you, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied." ”

Yao Tianxi listened in a daze, "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”

"You're so old, it's right to have some ideas. In a family like ours, what is it to find a few girls......"

Yao Tianxi couldn't cry or laugh, "Mother, it's not what you think, I want to pick a few serious maids." ”

"I'm not telling the truth yet." Mrs. Yao smiled lovingly, "You never wanted a maid before, but then you suddenly accepted Li Qi'er, and I realized that your mind was because I was negligent before." Say, if you want a few maids, I'll help you choose. ”

"Don't ......" Yao Tianxi was so embarrassed that his face was red, and he didn't know how to open his mouth to explain.

"It's really inappropriate to take in maids at this time," Mrs. Yao thought for a while, and suddenly changed her words, "You can't delay any longer, your father and I have decided to let you marry this year, and let go of the matter of accepting maids for a while." ”

"Don't!" Yao Tianxi's mind was blank, and his heart was beating suddenly, "The child doesn't want to get married." ”

"Shen Fu is going to be a father, how long will you delay? If you don't get married, what will happen to your younger siblings? Mrs. Yao seemed to think of something, and her face sank, "Don't tell me, you want to help Li Qi'er up, she's just a, don't say that your father won't agree, and I won't agree either!" At most, when she gives birth to a child, she will be allowed to be an aunt. ”

"It has nothing to do with her, it's the child who doesn't want to get married." Yao Tianxi's palms were oozing sweat, and he couldn't keep up with his mother's whimsical thoughts.

"You're still protecting that?" Mrs. Yao's eyes suddenly sharpened. When the mother hated her son the most for a woman, Mrs. Yao was no exception, she thought that her son was defending Li Qi'er in this way.

"It really has nothing to do with Li Qi'er, I, I'm innocent with her." Yao Tianxi couldn't be shy, and hurriedly explained. He can't let Li Qi'er suffer an inexplicable punishment, because she is the person Ma Xiuying entrusted to take care of him. He couldn't let his mother misunderstand, and made the fake come true and forced him to accept Li Qi'er.

"And what do you want?" Mrs. Yao sighed weakly, thinking that her son had opened up about love, but it turned out to be a piece of wooden fish pimple, and a girl like a flower and jade was indifferent in the room, she was really worried about whether her son had some hidden disease.

After the mother and son finished talking, Mrs. Yao immediately found an experienced old servant woman, quietly observed Li Qi'er for a while, and found that Li Qi'er was really still a virgin, so she believed her son's words, and became more and more angry at her son's refusal to marry, and also complained that Li Qi'er had not won his son's favor after following his son for a year or two.

Taking advantage of Yao Tianxi's departure from the house, Mrs. Yao called Li Qi'er in front of her and asked directly, "Does the young master have someone you like?" ”

Li Qi'er was taken aback, "Slave no, I don't know." ”

"You follow the young master all day long, will you not know the young master's affairs? I think it's your who has the intention to hide it. If you don't tell the truth, I'll sell you! "Don't look at Mrs. Yao's usual amiability, once she puts up the shelf of being the housewife, that kind of majestic momentum arises spontaneously.

"Madame, spare your life!" Li Qi'er knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Mrs. Yao induced: "If you tell me the truth, not only will I not punish you, but I will also let the young master accept you as a concubine." ”

Li Qi'er's eyes burst out with a hint of hope, and she even forgot to beg for mercy.

"Don't worry, I won't let the young master know about today's conversation." Mrs. Yao gave her a reassurance.

Li Qi'er's voice was like a mosquito murmuring, "The young master seems to like Miss Ma......"

"Horse girl? Who's the young lady? Mrs. Yao didn't think of Ma Xiuying for a while.

"It's the Ma Xiuying girl from the Guo Mansion next door." Li Qi'er has a heart, if she doesn't recruit Ma Xiuying, she will be sold by Mrs. Yao, between herself and Ma Xiuying, of course she chooses herself.

"What? That Ma Xiuying, who has a pair of heavenly feet and killed her parents? Mrs. Yao's face was blue, and her voice was so angry that she changed tone, "The young master went out of the mansion just to see her?" ”

Mrs. Yao's imminent anger frightened Li Qi'er into a breath, but she didn't dare to confess that Yao Tianxi dug a hole in the wall and had a private meeting with Ma Xiuying in Qingfeng Garden, if Mrs. Yao knew that she had been hiding it for so long and had been helping Yao Tianxi guard the door, Mrs. Yao would definitely not spare her. She stammered: "The slave maid doesn't know about the young master's departure from the mansion, but I just heard that the young master unintentionally mentioned Miss Ma." ”

"This bastard boy, no wonder he refuses to admit that he has a favorite person, and he can't ...... the girl of any family, so he " Mrs. Yao complained a few words, and suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to count her son in front of a maid, and angrily told Li Qi'er to step back, "Don't tell the young master about today." ”

"Yes." Li Qi'er wished that Mrs. Yao would say this, if Yao Tianxu knew that she had betrayed Ma Xiuying, I am afraid that Yao Tianxu would be the first to drive her out of the house.

Yao Tianxu didn't have time to change his clothes when he returned home, so he was taken to Mrs. Yao's room by the housekeeper guarding the door.

Mrs. Yao stared at her son's eyes firmly, "You tell me the truth, is there anyone you like?" ”

"Why did the mother ask so, and the child said no." Yao Tianxi looked away and silently apologized to Ma Xiuying in his heart, and now he can't tell his mother that he likes Ma Xiuying.

"It's good if you don't have it, so as not to beat the mandarin duck." Mrs. Yao said meaningfully: "I have picked a family business for you, it is the eldest lady of the Chen family, this girl is twenty-eight years old, outstanding in appearance, knowledgeable, and your father and I are very satisfied." ”

"What?" Yao Tianxi couldn't believe his ears, it was like a thunderbolt on the head, and it was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, and his whole body was numb.

Mrs. Yao didn't think it was enough to hit her son, "I said that I would let you marry the eldest lady of the Chen family back this year." ”

Yao Tianxi's face turned dead gray in an instant, and it took a long time to squeeze out three words from his dry throat, "I won't marry!" ”

"Are you really angry with me, and you won't listen to me?" Mrs. Yao's sleeves covered her face, and her shoulders continued to tremble violently.

Yao Tianxu slowly knelt down and slammed his head on the ground, "Mother, please ......"

Mrs. Yao interrupted her son's words without hesitation, "I have already exchanged Geng posts with the Chen family, and people like us can't go back on their word." Even if you don't listen to me, you have to think about your father, our family can't afford to lose this face! ”

Yao Tianxi staggered to his feet and walked out like a clay sculpture and wood carving.

Mrs. Yao was worried for a while, she wondered if she had hurt her son by doing so, but when she thought that her son would like Ma Xiuying, she resisted the urge to call her son back, and warned herself that she couldn't be soft-hearted, her son was not sensible, and she was doing this to help him get back lost, did she really want him to marry a woman who didn't know the rules and corrupted the door.
