220. Marriage
Chanyi suddenly realized, civil officials rely on reputation, but military generals rely on strength and fame, Ning Guogong took office as the chief soldier of Sichuan and Gui, and the people under his hands will definitely not be convinced, if you want to do a good job in politics, you must put out all your energy, so that you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court in Yunfu City.
I have to say that the emperor's trick is really wonderful, this taste of rising and descending, I don't know what kind of mood Ning Guogong is in when he receives the holy decree.
There was a smile on the corner of Chanyi's mouth, she was in a good mood, she was fast under the needle, and after a while, she embroidered a brilliant plum blossom, looked up at Xiao Qing, who was still tilting her head and thinking about things, and smiled: "Left and right have nothing to do with us, what is Sister Qing doing so much?" And the pioneer is Brother Wei, look at Brother Wei's ability in Sichuan and Gui, you can expect one or two, not to mention that we are an army of 150,000 this time, that is, the number of people is more than Tartar, and one person and one foot can trample them to death." β
Xiao Qing came back to his senses and said calmly: "I'm not worried about my eldest brother, if I am not mistaken, Chu Shaoyuan will order my second brother to accompany me, the emperor's will is a little sudden, now the prince and Chu Shaoyuan do not deal with each other, let them go to the northwest together, I am afraid that my eldest brother and second brother will be caught in a dilemma." β
The movements in Chanyi's hands paused, Xiao Qing said that he was embarrassed, he said that the game between the three princes and the prince was not easy for the Xiao family to get involved...... Only he knows that the crown prince will be beheaded in three years, or on the charge of treason and collaboration with the enemy, the final winner of this war will be Chu Shaoyuan......
She sighed deeply, she didn't know how to tell Xiao Qing, instead of worrying about this kind of thing, it was better to think more about how to win this battle, but she couldn't say it and couldn't say it, so she had to coax Xiao Qing with words: "Sister Qing, why bother about this kind of thing, presumably Brother Wei and Second Brother Pei know it in their hearts," the topic changed, and directly diverted this matter to her, "It's you, why haven't you been wearing Hu clothes in a regular way these days?"
Since yesterday, Xiao Qing has been dressed up in a famous lady when she came to Xiafu, and the sachets and hairpins have been used, and the steps are not as big as before, becoming like a beautiful girl.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her words came out, two red glows flew on Xiao Qing's face, "Evening light...... Isn't it awkward that I look like this?"
Awkward?
Chanyi raised her eyebrows and looked her up and down, "No, Sister Qing's appearance is very beautiful, she looks even better under this dress, how can it be awkward?
Xiao Qing nodded: "A few days ago, my aunt suddenly came to the house and reprimanded me, saying that if I continue like this, I will become a crazy girl in the future, and no one will treat me. β
Chanyi burst out laughing, "It seems that your aunt is afraid that you won't be able to get married, so she will place you like this." β
Chanyi was originally joking about Xiao Qing, but the voice fell for a long time, and Xiao Qing didn't answer, she restrained her smile and asked, "Did I say it right?"
Xiao Qing's face flew a red color, Chanyi was stunned, she didn't expect that she would be able to see such a look on Xiao Qing's face in her lifetime, whose personality was comparable to that of a tomboy, it really surprised her, Xiao Qing in the previous life had never heard of being engaged to the son of any family until she died, and in this life, I didn't expect that she would be shy about her marriage.
Chanyi couldn't help but stare at her: "Sister Qing is actually shy!" and then asked curiously, "Which family's son is it?"
Xiao Qing raised her head and glanced at Chanyi, and found that she really didn't find out about her affair with Xia Mingche, and she couldn't say a word at the moment, and that uncomfortable look made Chanyi more and more curious, and pestered her to ask one, two, three, four.
Xiao Qing was obsessed with her, and spit out: "Don't ask, there is not a single word yet." β
Chanyi looked at the shy red on Xiao Qing's face, and the whole person seemed to be a flower swaying in the spring breeze, where did it look like there was no hair!
She opened her mouth and said: "Seeing my sister's appearance clearly, I'm afraid that the eight characters are even going to be finished, why do you still say that you haven't written a single stroke? Who is it? Why is it so mysterious, is it someone I recognize?"
Xiao Qing didn't speak, only hung his head and pretended to be a quail, and didn't spit out a word no matter how he asked.
aroused Chanyi's infinite curiosity, but she guessed and guessed, but she couldn't think of which person could be looked at by the female general in the future.
Later, Xiao Qing simply skipped this topic and talked about other things, Chanyi was afraid that she would be annoyed, but she would know it in the future anyway, so she made up her mind, so she didn't dwell on this matter.
The two talked for a while, Xiao Qingyou went back in advance, and Chanyi sat on the kang alone and embroidered the belt.
Xiaolan came in and whispered: "Miss, the old lady asked you to go to Fushoutang, and there are guests coming, please go and say hello." β
Chan Yi was stunned, the guest she greeted must be a young lady of the same age as her, she nodded, put down the needle and thread in her hand, tidied up her clothes, and went to Fushoutang.
At this time, the ladies in Fushoutang were chatting enthusiastically, Mrs. Xia and Xie were holding a ten-year-old girl in their hands, and Mrs. Xia couldn't stop admiring: "It's so good, the eyes are like the eyes of a wife, I think this nose should be like her father, and it makes people like it when they look at it......"
Chanyi came in and heard such a sentence, and looked up at the two wives sitting next to Mrs. Xia, one in her early twenties, very beautiful, apricot eyes and pink cheeks, with a watery brilliance in her eyes, but it made people very comfortable, wearing a butterfly-shaped hairpin with gold and silk beads on her head, and a silver-red makeup gown, she looked very energetic, she recognized that this was the daughter-in-law of her father's brother's family.
And the other woman's appearance is five points similar to He's, wearing azure makeup and flower gowns, with a few cloisonnΓ© filigree hairpins on her head, a plain and elegant appearance, with her calm expression, there is a charm in it.
Chan Yi just glanced at the two of them, and then stepped forward to salute Mrs. Xia and the Xie family.
Mrs. Xia summoned her over and introduced the girl around her to her, "This is the sister of your seventh aunt's family, Yiyi, this is the sister of your seventh aunt's sister's family, Lu Yanzhen." β
It turns out that the girl who has been being pulled by her grandmother can't stop praising her is the young lady of He's maiden sister's family.
Chanyi felt a little strange in her heart, why did He suddenly come to the house as a guest?
She smiled and greeted the two young ladies, several girls gathered together to eat snacks in the flower hall, the sweet and sour cake made of red hawthorn fruit was served, Chanyi asked the two little girls to eat snacks, while listening attentively to the movement in the main room, she heard her mother's gentle voice.
ββ¦β¦ I called my wife today, I was presumptuous, I looked at Sister Qing'er's child and really liked it, so I had the courage to mention it to my wife. β
Chanyi's eyes widened suddenly, and she didn't care about listening to the two girls in front of her, and gently pushed half of the window of the flower hall, so that the voice inside came more clearly.
Da He smiled slightly and said: "Sister Qing is a concubine who grew up, and her nature is pure, but she loves to dance with knives and guns." β
Old Madam Xia smiled indifferently: "Thanks to Sister Qing'er's love of dancing knives and guns, I have been able to save my grandchildren many times, you should have heard of the Gu family's affairs, if it weren't for Sister Qing'er who taught Wanwan a few tricks of self-defense, where would Wanwan be here now, not to mention think about it, General Xiao is a martial artist, and he has not renewed the strings for many years, and the children he taught are naturally like him, which is not a bad thing." β
The implication is that the Xia family can carry it clearly, and marrying a daughter-in-law who knows martial arts will only be good and not bad.
Da He nodded, her husband has always been worried about Sister Qing's marriage, so many years she has also tried to talk to some people close to her about Sister Qing's marriage, but as soon as people heard that it was Sister Qing, they all retreated, which made her really have a headache, especially Sister Qing'er's temperament, every time she went to someone else's house, she was going to make people jump before she stopped, and she gradually gave birth to her thoughts, after all, she still has her own father, her father is not open, she is an aunt, no matter how much she cares, it is useless.
I didn't expect my sister to come over a few days ago to talk about it, she originally heard that it was the Xia family, and she was a little hesitant, afraid that the Xia family's door was not good, and Sister Qing would suffer if she got married, but when she heard about the incident the day before yesterday, almost the entire Yunfu family praised the Xia family's uprightness and taught such a chaste daughter, so that her doubts gradually loosened a little, and she will come over today to ask about the situation.
Da He looked at the smiling and kind old lady Xia, the look on his face was a little embarrassed, and Xie Shi hurriedly asked, "But what else is wrong?"
Only then did Da He speak: "Don't hide it from Mrs., the Xiao family's family motto is that you can only take concubines when you are over forty years old and have no children, and we also know that it is really a bit ...... to ask others like this But the Xiao family is such a girl......"
This is indeed a bit embarrassing, you must know whose elders don't want their children and grandchildren to be full, and some mothers-in-law will force their daughters-in-law to take concubines for their sons, in order to spread the branches.
Xie Shi looked at Mrs. Xia, and didn't know how to reply to this, if it was her meaning, she herself had suffered from the concubine's room, and she didn't want to watch her daughter-in-law suffer this hardship, but her mother-in-law might not think so.
Old Madam Xia was stunned, her brows were slightly locked, and she said after a while: "Mrs. This requirement is indeed a bit harsh, but our Xia family is not one of those people who indulge in lust, before the main room has a concubine, it will not let the concubine room pop out of half of the concubine's room, this wife can put a hundred hearts." β
Da He smiled lightly, she was not surprised by this result, if her son married a daughter-in-law, she would be like this, but she was only an aunt after all, and there were some things that she still had to ask her husband, and let her husband talk to her brother-in-law before she could decide.
Her tone softened, "I have to go back to this matter and let my husband ask my brother-in-law to make the decision." β
Old Madam Xia nodded, "It's natural. β
When Chanyi heard this, her heart felt like a muffled thunder, but she didn't expect Xiao Qing to like her own brother!
The wives of the eldest brother and the second brother in the previous life have nothing to do with Xiao Qing, but in this life, it will actually develop to the point of talking about marriage!
It's just that I don't know if it's the eldest brother or the second brother, it stands to reason that it should be the eldest brother, but the eldest brother is now in the northwest, and Xiao Qing is like that, she intuitively feels that it must not be the eldest brother, it should be the second brother, otherwise Xiao Qing will not be unable to speak.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but be a little upturned, she had to look back and be ashamed of her second brother, such a big thing didn't show any wind at all, it was really unrighteous!
