Chapter 178: Shot
Xue Yu heard that the Xia family had rejected the proposal, so he deliberately dressed up, changed seven or eight clothes, and finally chose a silver satin white trimmed cloak, which wore an indigo arrow sleeve round-necked robe embroidered with gold Ruyi patterns, revealing the snow-white stand-up collar inside, a royal blue jade belt tied around the waist, a big red colorful embroidered purse, and a blue and green tassel mutton fat jade pendant.
Dong'an praised one after another on the side: "Master is in good spirits and steady today." ”
Xue Yu didn't post and went directly to visit, and he was afraid that bringing these rituals would make the people of the Xia family feel that they were too public, so he simply didn't even leave the main gate, but startled the little guy at the side door, and hurriedly ran in to call the seventh master out.
Xia Qiye welcomed him in very angrily, Xue Yu saw that Mrs. Xia and Xia Xiucai were both sitting in the hall, and even Second Master Xia was there, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and first confessed to everyone in the Xia family: "I should have visited yesterday, and I didn't want to be temporarily announced by the saint." For such a thing, I didn't dare to let the little guy pass the word back and forth, so I didn't want to delay. I really didn't expect this lady in our house to come to the door with such fanfare. The little nephew really can't stand Miss Xia. ”
Saying that, facing Mrs. Xia in the middle of the hall, Xia Xiucai slammed to the ground: "I can't stand my uncle and aunt, the two of you have always treated me like my own son and nephew." ”
Xia Qiye snorted: "If it weren't for looking at your face, where could she be allowed to bully people like this." ”
Xue Yu was the same age as the seventh master, and he was not angry, so he turned around and gave the second master, the seventh master, and the eighth master.
Fortunately, the brothers of the Xia family had a good relationship with him, so they no longer entangled. The eighth master joked to him: "Brother Xue, you have to hurry up and find a daughter-in-law who takes advantage of it, otherwise your stepmother may find a girl from someone else's family for you." ”
bluffed Xia Xiucai frowned and reprimanded: "Don't criticize other people's family affairs." ”
Xue Yu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Uncle." Who in the capital doesn't know about this, so why hide their ears and steal the bell. I don't hide it from my uncles and aunts and brothers, I really planned to marry a powerful daughter-in-law and fight with my stepmother. But since I heard that my stepmother mentioned Miss Xia, I thought, if I can have such a satisfactory daughter-in-law, which one is rare to have to talk to her about trivial things? Do you say? ”
Xia Xiucai was stunned. I couldn't help asking: "You live together, how can you not ......" thought about it, this is also their family matter. He refused to say any more.
Xue Yu said with a smile: "Uncle, I want to find a place with the saint to be a garrison of the town, and when the time comes, I will naturally bring my daughter-in-law to the post." The saint intends to change the military generals in the southern Xinjiang area, if this daughter-in-law does my wish. So I went and asked the Holy One. Even a downgrade is possible. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, secretly figuring out the meaning of these words. Xue Yu looked at everyone's expressions, suddenly stood up, knelt in front of Xia Xiucai and Mrs. Xia, and said solemnly: "The little nephew doesn't dare to ask his uncle and aunt to agree, it's just ...... If my stepmother comes to ask for marriage again, I will ask my uncle and aunt to think carefully about my little nephew. ”
After saying that, he was a little embarrassed, stood up with a red face, lowered his head and pretended to straighten the hem of his clothes and said, "The little nephew still has some business." I won't bother. ”
When Mrs. Xia saw him like this, she thought, "If that's the case." It's also a good family. However, the promise is good at this time, and when someone marries in the future and can't do it, can we still bring our daughter back! ”
However, Xia Xiucai heard this, and thought that he had no father back then, and his widowed mother also ran into walls everywhere when he asked for him, so he felt pity and comforted: "In the past, the virtuous nephew did not have this intention, since it was not your stepmother's arbitrary idea to take it for you, we will naturally consider it carefully." ”
I didn't want Xue Yu to be overjoyed when he heard this, so he immediately turned over and knelt down and said, "Dad, mother, please bow to the child first." ”
Before the words fell, I heard a chaotic sound of cups and plates, and a woman's exclamation sounded in the back compartment, although the voice was extremely short, but it was still heard clearly.
The eighth master helped his teacup and thought: "If you talk about temperament, Xiaomei and Xue Gongzi are a twelve-point match, both of them can climb to the sky to pick stars with a straw stick, why didn't I find out that Xue Gongzi was also such a person before." ”
Mrs. Xia couldn't help but glance at Xia Xiucai with disgust, and said in her heart: "Take a look, and don't discuss it with me, so you will be kind enough to agree." Now it's okay, and such a big son fell from the sky while talking. ”
Xia Xiucai immediately panicked, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Virtuous nephew, please get up quickly, here, these eight characters haven't been skimmed yet." You, you ......"
Xue Yu was also a little embarrassed, and said with a red face: "If it doesn't succeed, it's all the blessing of the little nephew." If the little nephew still can't get into the eyes of you and your wife in the future, you two have thought about me too. This kind of kindness is not too much to treat the two as parents and filial piety, if not, Jiu'er will be my sister-in-law in the future, and I love her like all brothers. ”
Xia Xiucai saw him like this, and was afraid that she would reject him like this, hurt his face, and stammered for a long time and couldn't speak.
When Xue Yu left with a thousand thanks, Xia Xiucai couldn't help but secretly glance at Mrs. Xia and defended weakly: "We have already rejected his family, and I don't think we will let people come to their house to propose marriage, so this consideration is just to comfort and comfort him." ”
When the sons heard this, they took turns to clear their throats, Xia Xiucai glared at them, and they lowered their heads and drank tea neatly.
Xiaoyu walked out of the compartment with Yingxue and said, "Dad! You are too sincere, I think our family will listen to my mother in the future. ”
provoked Xia Xiucai to scratch his forehead and said: "Naturally, I listen to your mother, where is there no listening." ”
Xue Yu left the Xia family and secretly thought in his heart: "Miss Xia must be hiding in the cubicle and eavesdropping, and now that I have expressed my intentions, I don't know if she is happy or not." Fortunately, my grandmother has already made a post yesterday, and she will lobby for me tomorrow. I have to provoke my 'mother' again and make her work hard. ”
I made up my mind, and when I returned to the house, I didn't go to my own courtyard, I went to my stepmother to ask for peace first, sat on the Taishi's chair and sipped tea, crossed Erlang's legs and smiled proudly: "I just went to Xia's house to give a festival gift, Mrs. Xia and Xia Xiucai are in good health, and my brothers treat me very well. ”
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she smoked.
As he was talking, Grandpa Guo walked in, and when he saw Xue Yu actually entering the main house, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you here?" ”
Xue Yu laughed: "I came to say goodbye to my stepmother." ”
Suddenly, Grandpa Guo's beard also turned up, and he turned around to find something to beat him. Xue Yu rubbed his waist, protected his head and said, "Sure enough, there is a stepmother and a stepfather." With that, he lifted the curtain and left.
The ancestor of the Protector is also a military general, but he is in his early forties, with a short circle, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly figure. Especially today, I wore a round-necked robe embroidered with golden lotus flowers, a royal blue jade-inlaid belt tied around my waist, and lotus-colored satin pants underneath. As soon as ordinary people saw his style, they were first three points timid.
A trace of imperceptible disdain flashed in Mrs. Xu's eyes, and she stepped forward to persuade: "Forget it, he is still a child." Alas, too, I shouldn't be nosy. told him about his family, and he disliked that the girl's family was poor and not prominent enough. Not worthy of him. No, you're losing your temper with me. ”
The Protector was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Is it the girl of the Xia family you told me about earlier, the one who saved Yu'er when she was a child?" ”
Mrs. Xu nodded: "It's that girl, although her family background is not obvious, but she is smart and smart, and her temperament is gentle and supple." Yu'er has a bad temper, so I want to find him a well-behaved and obedient person. ”
The Protector snorted: "Where do you want so many reasons? rushed to save his life, and he should have married him. ”
Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Alas, it's too late to say anything at this time." This Xia family is really a loyal family, I invited Mrs. Shunyi Hou to be a matchmaker, and now they have a letter, saying that our family is too prominent, and I am afraid that my girl is not worthy. Look at such a person who knows how to advance and retreat, if you change the person next to you and hear that it is the Guogong Mansion, then you don't pick it up immediately. ”
As soon as the protector heard that his family was rejected, he was a little unhappy: "They are still picking on our family." ”
Mrs. Xu said angrily: "Look at what you said, if their family is such a family that climbs the dragon and the phoenix, can I tell Yu'er." He has a son who is Tanhua this year, and now he is editing in the Hanlin Academy, but he is not the kind of ordinary family with a small family. ”
Huguo Gong thought for a while and said, "I have a good relationship with Lao Hu of the Hanlin Academy, let him come to talk about it another day." ”
Mrs. Xu helped him change into his regular clothes, and sighed: "Since Yu'er doesn't like it, forget it, as the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet." ”
As soon as he heard this, he widened his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "For such a big thing as marrying, where can he be a yellow-mouthed child." Which family is not the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. ”
Mrs. Xu was sad when she heard this, and opened her mouth to speak.
When the protector saw it, he was a little distressed, sighed and stroked her hand and said, "I have wronged you all these years." ”
When Mrs. Hu, who had never walked around with the Xia family, sent someone to deliver the post, Mrs. Xia had some ideas, and discussed with Mrs. Xia: "The Xue family was not very good, but now it is Xue Yu's willingness. It's just that if the two of them move out to live, I'm a little worried that Xue Gongzi won't have an elder to restrain me. As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure. ”
Mrs. Xia said this very well, and Mrs. Xia nodded and said: "Daughter-in-law, what you said is reasonable, Xiucai is also a sensible child, and occasionally I have to come forward to suppress and subdue." ”
Because of this concern, Mrs. Xia replied very ruthlessly and directly this time: "I really don't like the complexity of the Xue family, I heard that it is my stepmother, and I am afraid that my stepmother-in-law will make it difficult." "I also want to see how Xue Yu and Mrs. Xu will resolve it. (To be continued......)
