Brother Xu saw that he had a three-day holiday and was experiencing good weather, so he asked two friends to go drinking and recreation. His friend Meng Cheng felt that drinking was boring, so he might as well go to the suburbs to play. It just so happened that his family had a Zhuangzi in the resort, so it was better to go to the resort.

Brother Xu thought for a while and agreed, and another friend, Wen Ning, also agreed.

April is the most beautiful season. At this time, the apricot blossoms have fallen, but the pear blossoms are just in time, the flowers are fragrant all over the ground, and the flowers are fragrant everywhere. Brother Xu looked at the front and back and left and right of flowers, the fragrance of flowers was fragrant to the heart, the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating, and the birds were singing and singing branches. Brother Xu was a little regretful: "It's good that my mother is here." "Her mother will definitely be able to paint this beautiful scenery with a paintbrush.

Meng Cheng said with a smile: "Mrs. Lian has been here before, and she has been living here for more than a month!" "All the beauties of the capital have even been there.

An Xu suggested: "How about we bring a bow and arrow to hunt?" "This group of people all met in the Xiaoqi camp, and the relationship is very good.

Wen Ning shook his head and said, "Haven't you tossed enough in the military camp?" It's rare to have two days off, but we still have a two-day rest! "It's rare to have a holiday, he really doesn't want to run away with a bow and arrows in the mountains.

After rushing for most of the day, Meng Cheng looked at the weather and said, "It's almost noon, let's go to Zhuangzi for lunch!" ”

The two nodded in agreement.

Before the two of them entered, Meng Cheng reminded: "My sister, cousin, they are in the villa with my mother, don't bump into them when you go then." ”

Brother Xu said with a smile: "I've always heard you talk about your sister but I've never seen it, today I am fortunate to let us see the true face of Lushan." ”

Wen Ning said with a smile: "What are you talking about, where can I see a man casually in the girl's family." Wen Ning knew in his heart, afraid that it would be fake to come out to play, and it was true that Meng Cheng was going to be a matchmaker for Brother Xu. Now who in the capital doesn't know that Mrs. Lian is looking for a daughter-in-law for An Xu. Thinking of this, Wen Ning felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The group entered the Zhuangzi, and halfway through the process, they heard a burst of laughter like silver bells. Brother Xu thought it was very funny: "Ah Cheng, this laughing person is definitely not your sister." According to Ah Cheng's own words, his sister is a beautiful girl.

Meng Cheng nodded and said, "Well, this is my cousin Wuying." ”

Brother Xu felt that this name was a little strange, but it was not easy to say, after all, it was someone's cousin, and it would not look good to say it.

When everyone stepped into the courtyard, Brother Xu saw a woman standing under a pear blossom at first sight. This girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face, looking particularly cute, her cheeks flushed, and her body exuded a youthful and lively atmosphere.

When the girl saw the three foreign men coming in, she didn't panic, and said to the girl next to her with a smile: "Miao'er, my cousin is here." After speaking, he walked over with a smile and greeted the three of them.

Brother Xu felt that this girl was quite bold.

Ah Cheng introduced Wen Ning and Brother Xu to the two girls.

Only then did Brother Xu notice Meng Cheng's sister. Meng Cheng's sister Meng Miaoer is good-looking, and she is the kind of girl who is well-behaved and lovely. However, Brother Xu has seen a lot of this type of girl, and he is not interested, but he is very curious about a hearty girl like Zhang Wuying.

Fog Shadow was a little surprised: "You are the son of Uncle Pingyang, you don't look like it!" “

Brother Xu frowned, I wanted to ask you if you have seen my father, but before he could speak, Ah Cheng's sister Miao'er looked at Brother Xu and asked softly, "Are you Mrs. Lian's son?" I like Mrs. Lian very much, but I never had the chance to see him. "Yue Yao is a legend for the women of the world, well, to be exact, for the entire Great Yuan Dynasty.

Brother Xu said with a smile: "When I have the opportunity, I will definitely be able to see my mother." ”

The fog shadow looked at Brother Xu'er, and then said, "Are you talking nonsense?" ”

Brother Xu looked at the fog shadow with some amusement and said, "What do you mean by talking?" "It's like he's a liar.

Mist Shadow snorted coldly: "Deliberately said something specious, who knows if you fooled my cousin." She looked at Brother Xu'er and fooled her cousin. Otherwise, it can be said that it is a time division, and when the time comes to the Meng family, her cousin will naturally be able to see Mrs. Lian.

Brother Xu felt that this girl was a little interesting, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm fooling you, but my mother doesn't like to socialize, rarely goes out, and doesn't like to see people at home." Only when my family has a happy event and a banquet can I invite you then. "Although this girl is a friend's cousin, he can't be because of it

Friends went to disturb his mother.

Wen Ning interjected on the side: "Ah Xu, it's time for us to go and see our aunt." ”

Meng Miao'er looked at Brother Xu'er's back, her eyes flashing.

Zhang Wuying said with a smile: "Cousin, you won't fall in love with the third son of the An family, right?" "This third son of the An family doesn't look bad.

Meng Miao'er's face turned red, and she stomped her feet and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" I won't tell you, I'll go find my mother. ”

Since the second princess became pregnant, Yueyao began to work on Brother Xu's marriage. After picking for half a year, Yueyao finally picked Xinrong, the niece of Jingninghou's wife Ping.

An Zhichen still believes in Yue Yao's vision, and knows that Yue Yao has a crush on Ping Xinrong. The girl is good, and the two families are also comparable: "Then set the marriage and strive to let them marry at the end of the year." "Brother Sheng will be a father soon, and Brother Xu'er's lifelong event should also be solved. As for Fei Ge'er, Fei Ge'er took a different path, and Yue Yao also had arrangements, so An Zhichen didn't care anymore. Of course, Fei Ge'er is not at home, and he can't manage it if he wants to.

Yueyao sent someone to let Brother Xu come back, preparing to let the two children meet. This is actually a formality, let the two children meet, and then the marriage is decided. Who knows, after Brother Xu came back, he said that he had a girl he liked, and he couldn't marry the Heijia girl.

Yue Yao listened to Brother Xu'er's words, and couldn't help but think of the matter between Ting Zheng and Lin Qinghan, and the whole person was not good at the moment.

An Zhichen's face sank after hearing this, and said: "Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, you actually give and accept them privately? How can such a woman enter the door of my home if she is flawed? ”

Brother Xu hurriedly explained: "Dad, I like her myself, and people don't know about it." "Brother Xu said how much he liked it, but he didn't, he just thought about it. So it's hard for him to tell his family. Who knows, just such a hesitation, his mother gave him a good daughter-in-law.

An Zhichen's face became more and more ugly: "So, are you alone in being amorous there?" His son is so good, the other party didn't take a fancy to him, not only annoyed that Brother Xu was not angry, but also annoyed that the other party had no vision

Brother Xu nodded and said, "Yes, I originally planned to wait for the holiday to come back and tell my mother, let my mother go to Zhang's house to propose marriage!" Unexpectedly, my mother actually took a fancy to the Heijia girl. ”

When Yue Yao heard that it was not a private teaching, but just Brother Xu'er's unilateral thoughts, her face was not ugly. If what Brother Xu said is right, then it can be seen that the girl of the Zhang family is still good, and she is also a smart person. I know that it is the woman who suffers in the end. The trick is to let Yueyao know that Zhang Wuying didn't know that Brother Xu was interested in her, so she probably wouldn't think so.

Brother Xu saw that Yueyao's 7 expression eased, and felt that he could fight for it, and said: "Mother, the girl of the Zhang family is very good, I believe you will like it when you see it." ”

When Yue Yao heard this, she couldn't help but remember that Tingzheng had said something similar to him that day, her face sank again, and she asked with an unkind face: "If I don't like it, then what should you do?" "If Brother Xu dares to say that this woman will not marry, this woman must not be able to enter the door.

Brother Xu hurriedly said: "If my mother really doesn't like it, then forget it." ”

Brother Xu'er's words made Yueyao's heart soften. Yueyao, a mother, naturally hopes that her children will live in harmony and happiness, since Brother Xu likes it, why not see it: "Mother depends on you this time, find a time to meet this Zhang girl." But the mother's words are ahead, if the mother thinks you are not suitable, you have to marry the Heijia girl. "If it is suitable, Yue Yao doesn't mind letting Brother Xu marry this Zhang girl. It doesn't matter if the Zhang family's family is lower, anyway, Brother Xu is the youngest son, and it is good to only play the Zhang family's girl, and this family can also do it.

An Zhichen waited for Brother Xu to leave, and said dissatisfiedly: "Since she doesn't look down on Brother Xu, why should she see Brother Xu again?" It's not that our brother Xu can't find a daughter-in-law. ”

Yue Yao smiled and said, "If you can marry the girl you like, this is also a blessing, don't you say?" Don't you remember that when you married me, your father was not happy! How many people can match our current day? ”

An Zhichen remembered that he had married Yueyao that day, and he no longer objected: "Then you take care of it, you can't be soft-hearted." "He can't take care of Tingzheng's affairs, but Brother Xu is his son, and he doesn't want his son to marry someone like the Lin family, and then make the family uneasy.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "If you suffer a loss once, you won't suffer a second loss." "If this Zhang girl is not suitable for Brother Xu, she will not agree to this marriage no matter what.

Brother Xu returned to the barracks the next day.

Yue Yao found an opportunity to meet the girl of the Zhang family, but there was also a little girl who looked very delicate and inseparable from the girl of the Zhang family. Yueyao talked to the two little girls for a long time, and finally Wanhe came over, and she left with Wanhe.

Wanhe said with a smile: "I heard that you are kissing Brother Xu, it won't be the girl who has fallen in love with the Meng family, right?" "The Meng family is related to the Marquis of Yongding, so it is not surprising that these two girls will come to the banquet.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Why do I have to take a fancy to the girl of the Meng family, not the girl of the Zhang family?" ”

Wanhe glanced at Yue Yao in surprise, and saw a smile on the corner of Yue Yao's mouth, knowing that she was joking: "The girl of the Zhang family is a good one, but the girl is too jumpy, you definitely don't like this type." "Yueyao likes a peaceful person so much, how can she like a girl who is too happy.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "I just think Miss Zhang is different and want to know more, so I said a few more words to her." ”

Wanhe smiled: "It turns out that your old mistake has been committed again." "The old problem of Wanhe is that Yueyao will carefully observe something good or think it is special, and then it may be included in the painting.

Yueyao didn't refute, which meant that she acquiesced.

Xiang Wei didn't go to the banquet with her, and when Yueyao came back, Xiang Wei asked, "How is the girl?" ”

Yue Yao couldn't help but shake her head when she remembered the scene at that time: "The girl of the Zhang family is a solid-eyed person, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. "It's not a big problem to be impatient or something, just play it and grind it well

changed, like Mingzhu's squint was finally rounded.

The reason why Yue Yao didn't look at the girl of the Zhang family was that this girl was too solid-eyed and didn't know if she was being used.

Xiang Wei was immediately interested and asked, "How did you say this?" "A person's curiosity doesn't change with age, and Xiang Wei is like that.

Yue Yao told the events at that time: "The girl of the Zhang family is cheerful if she is good, and she is not a girl if she is ugly." But her inseparable cousin is called Miao'er, but she is a gentle and lovely girl. The two of them together, Miss Zhang became more and more demure with Meng Miaoer. But the girl in this chapter doesn't know that people are using her to highlight themselves. "People like Zhang Wuying say that if it sounds good, it is a solid eye, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a lack of heart. Yue Yao doesn't have high expectations for Brother Xu'er's future wife, but it will definitely not be possible if she lacks heart.

Xiang Wei felt that this girl was really pitiful: "Listen to you, this girl is not bad."

Yue Yao nodded and said, "Well, this is good." No matter how good this is, it won't work out if you can't recognize people. Don't you know, this chapter of fog shadow has reached the point of obeying Meng Miaoer's words. I politely reminded her that she didn't take it seriously, and told me how good Meng Miaoer was. Thinking of what happened today, Yueyao wanted to support her forehead. She asked herself if she was stupid in her previous life, but she wasn't stupid like this, what was really that she was sold and helped people count the money!

An Zhichen listened to Yue Yao's evaluation of Zhang Wuying, and immediately removed Zhang Wuying from the selection of his daughter-in-law: "Tomorrow, I will ask the matchmaker to go to the Ping family to propose marriage, and settle the marriage as soon as possible, so that he can take care of it." ”

Yueyao felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry: "Don't worry. I have to let Brother Xu think about it slowly, and it's not too late to say goodbye after the child has figured it out. "Yue Yao doesn't want to marry Brother Xu before Zhang Wuying's matter is resolved. His son still doesn't understand, so Brother Xu has to be taken captive and give him soft ones, but not hard ones. Come hard, and when the time comes, it will definitely be hard to play.

An Zhichen knew that Yueyao was reasonable, but he was very worried that Brother Xu would do something overstepping, and when the time came, it would not be able to end.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xu is still very measured." "It's what Brother Xu wants to do, the girl doesn't know what he wants to do at all, it's all for nothing, not to mention that there is a Meng Miaoer next to him. Thinking of this, Yue Yao felt that it was this Meng Miao'er who should be guarded against, not Zhang Wuying.

Brother Xu heard that Yue Yao saw Zhang Wuying, and hurried back after taking leave, and when he saw Yue Yao coming back, Yu asked, "Mother, what do you think of the girl of the Zhang family?" ”

Yue Yao nodded and said, "Miss Zhang is indeed a good girl. ”

Brother Xu was very happy to hear Yueyao say that he liked this girl. This is the joy of being recognized: "Mother, then you ......"

Yueyao shook her head and said, "Miss Zhang is a very good girl, but she is not suitable for you. "What happened to Tingzheng back then made Yueyao accept a lesson, so this time she no longer spoke so directly, but was ready to take a roundabout route.

Brother Xu asked anxiously, "Why?" ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Brother Xu, her temperament and temper are very similar to yours. Xu'er, you are very impatient, and your temper is the worst among the triplets. And this chapter girl is also a short-tempered person. If the two of you become husband and wife, you will definitely have three small quarrels a day and three big quarrels for three days. You may not be okay with yourself, but when your mother is older, you want to live a quiet life, if you really marry her mother, don't want to have a peaceful life. "Yue Yao is not indiscriminately arranging Zhang Wuying, but this girl is indeed impatient. As for having a bad temper, generally speaking, people who are impatient have a bad temper.

Brother Xu was dumbfounded, and said after a while: "Mother, you can't change your temper or something!" No one is static. You see, people outside say how bad your father used to be, but doesn't your father treat you like a treasure? ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said: "The country is easy to change, it is difficult to change, and it is difficult to change." And do you think that if Miss Zhang Niang has changed, is it still the girl Zhang you like? Yue Yao knew from the conversation with Zhang Wuying that Zhang Wuying's impression of Brother Xu was not bad, but it was limited to that. At this point, Yue Yao felt that Zhang Wuying's son might not be willing to change for Brother Xu. Of course, this can't be said, and it will hurt Brother Xu'er's heart if he says it.

Brother Xu was a little lost. He thought that his mother would like the girl of the Zhang family, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

Yue Yao didn't force Brother Xu and said, "Think about it!" ”

An Zhichen was not at ease, so he asked Brother Xu to talk to the study at the moment.

Brother Xu was originally shaken by Yueyao's words, after all, what his mother said was the truth, and she did not slander Zhang Wuying. But An Zhichen's tough attitude made his stubbornness come up again: "Dad, when you married your mother, your grandfather didn't agree, but you insisted on marrying your mother." Dad, you can hold on that day, why do I give up? ”

The green tendons on An Zhichen's forehead rose, but fortunately, he remembered that Yue Yao said that Brother Xu could only come soft, not hard, otherwise it would only have the opposite effect.

An Zhichen calmed down and said: "I insisted on marrying your mother back then, because your mother would be a good wife and a good housewife. "In front of my son, these things of love and love are absolutely unspeakable.

Brother Xu opened his eyes wide and said, "I heard from the people in the mansion that my mother didn't do anything else except painting and practicing calligraphy before. ”

An Zhichen looked at Brother Xu with a look of disdain: "What do you know?" Your mother helped take care of the backyard when your cousin gave birth, and kept the backyard in good order, and your mother's needlework was excellent, and the pastries she made were very delicious. ”

Brother Xu knows that Yueyao's needlework is very good, because Kexin's embroidery is inherited from Yueyao. But Yueyao can make pastries, and Brother Xu really doesn't know. Because he hadn't eaten Yueyao's food since he was a child: "Dad, what you said is true?" "Since I had Mama Hua, Yueyao has never cooked.

An Zhichen nodded and said, "Naturally, it's true." The greatest advantage of your mother is that if she does one thing, she will definitely do the best of it. After a pause, he asked Brother Xu: "You said that the girl of the Zhang family is a good girl, so you tell your father what is good about her?" ”

Brother Xu felt that Zhang Wuying was hearty, righteous, and a rare good girl.

An Zhichen listened, his expression was very strange. This Zhang family girl is a man, and she is indeed a good one, but a woman is very righteous and how strange it sounds. An Zhichen asked: "In addition to these two points, what is her female red needlework and housekeeping ability?" ”

When Brother Xu heard this, he immediately remembered that Meng Cheng had told him that Zhang Wuying was unwilling to learn needlework and female red, nor did he want to learn housekeeping, and he was like a boy all day long.

When An Zhichen saw Brother Xu'er's appearance, he didn't say a lot of things, but said: "Xu'er, marrying a wife is not child's play, it is a major event in a lifetime." If you make a mistake and regret it for the rest of your life, think about it yourself! ”

Brother Xu is a soft and not hard, and after listening to An Zhichen's words, he felt a little guilty and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, my son let you worry." ”

An Zhichen was very relieved and said, "It's not me who worries the most, it's your mother." You also know that your mother doesn't like to socialize, but for you, she has been at home for a few days in the past few months, hoping to find you a satisfactory daughter-in-law. "According to his wishes, he directly set the family affairs of the Ping family, can Brother Xu still be able to resist. However, Yue Yao insisted on letting Brother Xu get rid of this pimple, and he also obeyed Yue Yao's wishes. Now it seems that An Zhichen feels that Yueyao is right.

Brother Xu lowered his head and didn't speak again.

Seeing this, An Zhichen couldn't say anything more, leaving Brother Xu in the study at the moment, and he went back to the main courtyard and talked to Yueyao about it.

Yue Yao smiled: "I just said that Brother Xu eats soft and not hard, do you believe it now?"

An Zhichen thought about his son's appearance, and said with some unhappiness: "I see that his friend has bad intentions. How can my sister see a foreign man casually? What kind of friend are you making? "Brother Xu'er's vision is too bad, and he has made a friend with other intentions like Meng Cheng.

Yue Yao also felt that Brother Xu'er's eyes were not good, and said: "The child is older, and his self-esteem is also strong. You'll have to let him find out for himself, you can't just tell him. "If you directly tell Brother Xu that the friends you have made are calculating you, then Brother Xu, who is not obvious, is very discerning. People are face-saving people, and Brother Xu is no exception

An Zhichen had always obeyed Yueyao's suggestion, and nodded in agreement. But after thinking for a while, he said: "It seems that he has to be transferred back to the capital." While Fei Ge'er hasn't gotten up yet, I have to sharpen him: otherwise, if you enter the officialdom in the future, this trick is easy to be calculated. An Zhichen regrets it now, he has put all his energy on Brother Sheng all these years, and has neglected Brother Xu. Otherwise, Brother Xu would not be so easy to calculate.

Yue Yao felt that An Zhichen was too worried. Brother Xu is not stupid, but in the relatively simple environment of the Xiao Cavalry Camp, his vigilance has dropped a little, and when he accepts this lesson, he will definitely not do this again in the future
