Chapter 43: There is no good feast
Princess Xing naturally wouldn't be like King Xing said, she rashly found a matchmaker to say goodbye, the status of these two families is so disparity, even if their family doesn't dislike it, the people of the Xia family don't dare to climb casually if they know something. I have to find a reason to make sense.
Princess Xing first sent a few cautious and capable subordinates out to inquire, and it turned out that she really inquired a lot. It's just that there is not a word that I don't like to hear, and even the newly bought people talk about the master, which is full of good words.
The housemother, Xiao Xia, is kind and sensible. There are two daughters-in-law, the third daughter-in-law is a quick and capable woman, the fourth daughter-in-law is honest and loyal, and the fifth daughter-in-law is generous and sensible. Not to mention the brothers, they were all born to the same father and mother, and they are very harmonious. Several girls in the family are even more gentle and polite, and even the much-loved young girl is loved by everyone, and the flowers bloom, and they are polite and kind to their subordinates.
Princess Xing has been the housewife for so many years for the first time and feels that she has met an opponent, so she relies on the big pillow embroidered with four seasons flowers in the emerald green brocade to talk to her sister-in-law Wu.
Sister-in-law Wu sat on the small pedal and said: "How can you say that this is possible, if you want to say that the housemother has the means, there are also dirty things in the family that cannot be reported." But such a clear water family, there are still so many concubines in the family, have you never heard anyone talk about it? ”
The princess nodded and said, "This shows the ability of that talented lady." If in the past, there was no outsider in the family, and the news couldn't come out. Now people are the most broken-mouthed, and the masters can't chew anything. ”
Sister-in-law Wu said: "If you want me to see, it's still a shallow day, so honest and ordinary farmers want to do something, and they don't know what to do." ”
Princess Xing nodded.
Sister-in-law Wu said again: "Why is the third brother so unconscious, and he has fallen in love with such an ordinary girl." It's not that other girls are bad, but how many people outside are vying to marry at home. But look at what kind of family we are, even if her prodigy brother won the champion, it doesn't deserve it. ”
Princess Xing sighed and said, "That's not the case, the children are all debts." Brother Li is not the son of the world, so I will admit it. Think of my poor Brother Song being gone before he reached adulthood. Alas, Brother Li, he just wants the stars in the sky, and I, a mother, can't wait to pick them for him. Although the girl's background is lower, she has a lively temperament, and she is not unteachable. ”
As he was talking, Zhou Li wore a black python arrow sleeve, a black and red gown and a pair of foundation square-toed blue satin riding boots, and rushed in from the outside. A little face was flushed, thinking that he was running too quickly, and this was all in front of his mother, and he was still snoring and panting.
Princess Xing glanced at Sister-in-law Wu, and Sister-in-law Wu hurriedly got up and retired.
Princess Xing beckoned to her son, and first took a handkerchief to help him wipe his sweat: "What to do, sweat at this end." ”
Zhou Li looked at his mother, his face became redder and redder, and he said after a while: "They said you want to tell me about the little girl of the Xia family." ”
Princess Xing looked at her son with a little guilt: "What? You don't like it? ”
Zhou Li was embarrassed, took his mother's hand and twisted the candy and said, "The girl of the Xia family is too tricky, and she will make you angry." ”
Princess Xing listened to it and sighed happily: "It's not living with me, how can it make me angry." ”
Zhou Li sat beside his mother angrily and said, "Anyway, I don't want that country bun." ”
Princess Xing stroked his head with a smile and said, "I really sent someone to say it, didn't you always talk about that little girl in those days, my mother thought you liked it." asked Sister-in-law Wu to invite Mrs. Song to explore the wind. ”
"Ahh Zhou Lihuo stood up suddenly, "Mother, my face has made you lose your face." Then he ran out.
It was only a breath of effort, and he ran back on the ground. sat next to his mother again, and after staying for a long time, he saw that his mother didn't ask him, so he had to ask himself: "Mother Xu Shi" said and secretly glanced at Princess Xing's expression.
Princess Xing looked at her son, and wanted to tease him, but she seemed to have moved her mind when she saw this. When I think about it, I have a plan in my heart. "What else can be promised, a family like their family is a noble concubine."
Zhou Li listened, pursed his lips, and waited for a while to see that his mother didn't continue, so he had to blush and say, "Then, how did their family reply." ”
"How else can I reply. That's it. ”
"What?"
"That's what you just said."
"What did I just say?"
"Don't you don't want that country bun?!"
"What? People like them are also worthy" Zhou Li glared at Princess Xing angrily, and ran out again.
Princess Xing hurriedly grabbed him: "Alas, you little debt collector." Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran out. There are also daughters who are raised like that and refuse to be concubines. We're just probing the wind, and we're not a formal mediator. I was thinking earlier about whether to mention a flat wife or simply leave it as a wife. Although it's not a rich family, it's barely a scholarly family. ”
Zhou Li muttered: "What kind of scholarly family is she, you haven't seen her." ”
Princess Xing looked at her son at the mention of the Xia family girl, her face was bright, and she shook her head secretly.
Zhou Li also said to himself: "It's like a wild girl." ”
Princess Xing clapped her hands and said, "Okay, since that's the case, forget about it." ”
Zhou Li opened his mouth and looked at his mother in amazement: "Didn't you say that a wife is okay?" Why, why is it again now. ”
"What kind of family are we in Xingwangfu, how can we marry a wild girl."
"Huh!?" Rao is Zhou Li is simple-minded, and at this time he also knew that his mother was playing with him, a small face, red for a while, white for a while. This time, I was really angry, and I turned my head and rushed out.
A few days later, Princess Xing sent a post to Mrs. Xiaoxia, saying that the lotus flowers in the house were blooming, and invited their mother and daughter to the house to enjoy the flowers. Zhou Li heard about it, running horses and practicing arrows in the racecourse every day, and even Song Zhuojin saw that something was wrong.
When Xiaoyu saw the invitation, she leaned over and said to Xiao Xia's mother-in-law: "This rich and noble family likes to enjoy flowers, and last time the Yin family also enjoyed flowers, and this time Princess Xing also enjoyed flowers." In fact, if you want to invite me, it is better to invite me to the martial arts field to have a look. Alas, it's all Brother Qi and Ruhai who are blocking me, otherwise I can go to the school to be majestic. Thinking about it, he added: "Especially to extinguish the prestige of that Zhou Li." ”
Xiao Xia Pozi gently flicked the invitation, snorted and said, "There is no good feast, and I have been inquiring about our family for a few days." ”
Xiaoyu was not happy when she heard it: "Mother, they are only allowed to inquire about us, but we don't dare to inquire about them, which is too much of a loss." You can't go to this feast! ”
Xiao Xia Pozi smiled and said, "Go, how can you not go, your seventh brother has no family yet." You have to walk around to see the girls from each family. ”
Xiaoyu looked at her mother in surprise: "Mother, you don't want to find a county lord for Seventh Brother, do you?" We can't afford to wait. Look, I don't even have a little girl, so I'll use one with you. Don't talk about the county lord, the young lady of the Fu Yin family, that is two first-class big girls, two second-class middle girls, and four fourth-class little girls. ”
Xiao Xia couldn't help laughing when she heard this, patted Xiaoyu and said, "Who told you that there is still a middle maid?" ”
Xiaoyu smiled, and continued to fold her fingers and said: "These maids eat better than me, dress better than me, our family just has such a little money, what will be given to the county lord's maids and mothers-in-law when the time comes." ”
Xiao Xia Pozi said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be the county lord to our family, and it's not bad to enter the Xingwang Mansion." ”
"Mother," Xiaoyu looked at her mother and said, "Even if there are many sons in the family, you can't give them away so casually." ”
Mrs. Xiao Xia couldn't help but smile and said, "Can't you tell the girl of our family?" ”
Xiaoyu touched her nose and thought for a long time and said, "There is no age right." ”
Xiao Xia said: "Why not, I think you are very suitable." ”
Xiaoyu leaned back and smiled when she heard this, suddenly remembered something, and leaned over mysteriously and said, "Mother, you won't have a grudge against the Xingwang family." Want to marry me off and ruin their family? ”
Xiao Xia sighed and said, "This son of King Xing is too unworthy of you." ”
Xiaoyu said, "I think he's pretty good." has no scheming at all, it's easy to deceive and coax. ”
At this time, even Mrs. Xiao Xia was stunned. If you think about it carefully, it's true, Xiaoyu has a jumpy temperament, and she is a spoiled child in the countryside, no matter who she marries in, it is a problem. If in the future, the fifth brother and the seventh brother are raised, I am afraid that this family matter will become more and more difficult to say. The scholarly ones can't look down on them, the noble ones can't reach them, and the small ones feel a little aggrieved. A person like Zhou Li has enough identity, and he will not worry about his future life, and his temper is even easier to fiddle with.
Xiao Xia's mother-in-law doesn't know what to say, the girl's family that picks her son-in-law like this is the only one in the world. Even back then, Mrs. Xiaoxia herself wanted to find a shrewd and capable person, but after so many years, she felt that like Xiaoyu, it was really worry-free to pick a good fiddling one.
"Mother, what do you mean by this Xingwang Mansion? We were invited to enjoy the cherry blossoms and said that we were thankful for the sake we had sent. At that time, their mother-in-law also gave a lot of gifts in return. Otherwise, let's not go. ”
Mrs. Xiao Xia came back to her senses and replied, "What, I'm afraid." ”
Xiaoyu straightened her small chest: "Which one is afraid." I haven't ridden the Shadow yet. Although Zhou Li sent the Absolute Shadow over, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law forbade Xiao Yu's feet, and Xiao Yu could only watch the Absolute Shadow being sent back. I heard that there is also a martial arts training ground in King Xing's mansion, which is prepared for the guards in the palace, and maybe you can go and have fun.
Mrs. Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Yu's bright eyes, and said coldly: "Don't dream." ”
Xiaoyu lowered her head angrily, and her eyes were spinning.
