Chapter 221: Affirmation
As long as it is about Xu Xi, as soon as Xu Yourong talks about it, there will be some pauses, and he can't do what he wants at all. And Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan both turned a blind eye to this, as if Xu Yourong's performance just now was completely wrong, but after Xu Yourong finished speaking, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan both fell into deep thought.
"If you say so, then Mr. Zhao does say so, and Uncle Cousin's reputation has always been high among scholars. I don't think it's because my cousin is a descendant of the Xu family, nor is he the governor of Tianfu, nor is it a close minister of the Son of Heaven who is honored by the saint, Mr. Zhao and they are afraid that they have a deep relationship with Uncle Zhao earlier. Xu Mingcheng said.
"yes, so since that's all the case, we can't even give up without trying, right? Although the ninth lady of the Zhao family is both talented and beautiful, it is because of this that she is compatible with Chen'er. Xu Yourong said affirmatively.
In Xu Yourong's heart, Xu Chen is worthy of the best woman in the world to accompany him through his life, so Xu Yourong also tried his best to choose a woman with good talent and temperament for Xu Chen. This kind of mood of hers, whether it is Xu Mingcheng or Xu Youshan, understands it, the former is because she also has a big brother Xu Qi who is perfect in her heart, and in Xu Mingxi's heart, he is also the person who deserves the best woman in the world to accompany her for a lifetime.
As for Xu Youshan of the latter, it is because she has a deep affection for Xu Chen, and she feels the same as Xu Yourong that a person like Xu Chen should naturally have a woman with good talent and temperament as his wife. And Miss Zhao Jiajiu is of course the proud daughter of the sky, but Xu Chen is also the best among people. Although Xu Youshan felt that it would be difficult for the two to get married, she never felt that Xu Chen and Miss Zhao Jiajiu were not compatible.
"Miss Zhao Jiajiu is very good. But eldest sister, I think the problem we should solve first now is far from the difference between the two families, but we should ask the second brother's opinion first, right? If he doesn't want this family business, we can't shave our heads like this. Xu Youshan said to Xu Yourong worriedly.
"Oh, Brother Chen, Sister Shan, you still don't understand? He's not even enlightened at all about it right now. I don't know what I like or dislike, and I still read books all day long except for books, if we really follow his eyes. Then believe it or not, Brother Chen'er is very likely to be married for an unknown amount of time. Xu Yourong shook his head and said.
So far, the only thing Xu Chen is interested in is almost only one thing. That's books and learning. In addition to these. Xu Chen barely put any thought into other things, and he simply had no other preferences except for books all day long. Therefore, after Xu Yourong swore to Xu Youshan and said this, Xu Youshan didn't find a word to refute for a long time.
"And you should also remember that Brother Chen himself has already told his mother, if his mother must want him to get married, then he will also obey his mother's orders."
Xu Chen is the only concubine in the Xu family of Jiangzuo, and he bears many responsibilities that cannot be discharged. Extending the heirs and spreading branches for the Xu family is the most unlikely one to bypass. Therefore, since Xu Chen was sensible, he never thought that he could really live with books for a lifetime. But as Xu Yourong said before, anyway, except for books, Xu Chen is not very interested in other things. As for the others, Xu Chen, except for the Pei family, is lukewarm and indiscriminate, gentle and at the same time rejects people thousands of miles away.
So seriously, who Xu Chen's future wife will be, he really doesn't care too much, as long as this person is Pei's favorite candidate, then Xu Chen will agree. In his heart, the word "wife" is just another word for responsibility.
"But even so, I think we should let them get in touch first, with the second brother's temperament, although if the eldest aunt speaks, the second brother will definitely respond. But if things really develop like this, then take a step back and say, even if the second brother really marries Miss Zhao Jiajiu, isn't it too much for Miss Zhao Jiajiu to marry someone back like this and be a substitute for fulfilling responsibilities? Xu Youshan said disapprovingly.
"What do you think, what do you think I am?" But just after Xu Youshan's words were finished, she immediately took a violent shudder from Xu Yourong, "Since I have this will, of course, I hope that Brother Chen can have a happy family affair." And since I will hit the idea on the ninth lady of the Zhao family, it is also because I found something amazing. ”
Xu Yourong said a little mysteriously, which made Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan's curiosity immediately hang.
"What's the big deal? Say it quickly, don't sell it to me. Xu Mingcheng hurriedly urged, and Xu Youshan on the side also echoed and asked Xu Youshan to quickly explain what the hell was going on. And Xu Yourong, who originally wanted to hang Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan again, had no choice but to hurriedly put away the joke and explain intently under the pressure of the two.
"Didn't Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao come to our Xu Mansion for a banquet last time? And Brother Chen didn't come back that day, so I missed the meeting with Mr. Zhao, didn't we laugh at that time, saying that as long as I sent someone to mention Mr. Zhao to Brother Chen, then Brother Chen would definitely run back by himself, you both remember, right? Xu Yourong asked.
"Remember, the next day, eldest sister, didn't you really send someone to the Tai Academy to spread the word." Xu Youshan nodded and replied, she obviously remembered that later Xu Yourong specially asked Xu Chen to come back the next day, and the regret for not returning to the house for the banquet the night before could not be described more clearly, it was simply vivid. Such a memorable thing, how could Xu Youshan forget.
"Yes, it was on that second day, after Brother Chen'er came back, he asked me to ask Nie Liudai to convey to Mr. Zhao that he wanted to meet Mr. Zhao's feelings. And maybe Mr. Zhao saw my father's face, so he actually allowed Brother Chen's visit, and also entertained Brother Chen in Xingyun Courtyard. ”
Mr. Zhao will meet with Xu Chen. Xu Youshan and the others are not surprised, even if it is only in Xu Xi's face, Mr. Zhao will not let Xu Chen eat the closed door. Therefore, Xu Yourong's words are here, and they are not surprised yet, but then, it is the main topic.
But on the day that Brother Chen went to visit Mr. Zhao in Xingyun Academy, Miss Zhao Jiajiu was inviting Mr. Zhao to taste a pair of calligraphy and paintings, so Brother Chen and Miss Zhao Jiajiu also greeted each other. Nie Liu was also in this scene at that time, but do you know what Nie Liu said to me later? Xu Yourong paused deliberately when he said this. But after Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan had an "intimate exchange", she hurriedly told everything that followed.
"Nie Liu later told me that Brother Chen'er saw Miss Zhao Jiajiu for the first time. was stunned for a while, if it weren't for Nie Liu's later tugging on him, Brother Chen probably wouldn't have come back to his senses. Can you imagine this kind of picture, Brother Chen is actually facing people and things other than books. Will there be moments when you are stunned? I heard Nie Liu finish talking about the scene of that day. It was immediately incredible. ”
After Xu Yourong finished speaking, Xu Mingyan and Xu Youshan were also immediately surprised, and Xu Youshan couldn't believe it and said: "Second brother looks at a girl and sees a trance? This can't be, it can't be that Nie Liugongzi is wrong. ”
Xu Youshan's skeptical tone made Xu Yourong immediately pinch her face, and then said, "If you don't believe me, forget it, how can you still doubt Nie Liu." Xu Yourong said viciously to Xu Youshan, but her words made Xu Mingyan and Xu Youshan fall into extreme speechlessness in an instant. Dare to love this person is not holding grievances for himself, but for Nie Suhyun.
"Yes, yes, yes. Eldest sister, I was wrong, you don't remember the villain, let the little sister go. ”
"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." Xu Yourong smiled with satisfaction, but then she remembered that it seemed to be a little far away from the topic now, so Xu Yourong hurriedly said: "Anyway, according to Brother Chen'er's abnormal behavior, I think he must have a good impression of the Zhao family's Ninth Miss, but Brother Chen, a little nerd, doesn't know about it." So now is the time for us to go out. ”
Xu Yourong said extremely inflammatory words, as if she was tempting ignorant little girls, but Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan didn't buy her account at all, "Come on, Yourong, if you really want to match this family business, then I think the most important thing you should do now is to go and confirm his opinion with Brother Chen first." I still have something to deal with today, so I'll go back first, go first. ”
After Xu Mingcheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Yourong's reaction at all, patted his ass and ran away, letting Xu Yourong look at Xu Mingrong's back and staring at him. But at this moment, Xu Youshan next to him actually got up, and when Xu Yourong was completely stunned, Xu Youshan laughed dryly twice, and said to Xu Yourong: "Well, eldest sister, I think what you said is very right, but there are still things waiting for me to go back and deal with in the palace today." If this matter develops and we get back together, I'll go first, big sister. ”
After Xu Youshan finished speaking, she quickly ran away, regardless of Xu Yourong's terrifying roar behind her, although she also felt that Xu Chen's performance towards Miss Zhao Jiajiu was a little abnormal and different, but the problem between the Xu family and the Zhao family was not the kind that could be solved in one or two sentences. Whether it is the Xu family or the Zhao family, there are too many and too heavy things behind them, if the two families want to marry, how can it be so easy?
Therefore, whether it is Xu Mingcheng or Xu Youshan, they obviously disagree with it this time, this matter is not something that the three juniors can control, so although it will anger Xu Yourong, Xu Youshan still ran away like Xu Mingcheng.
And just after Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan slipped away one after another, Xu Yourong, the only one left, jumped in place for a while, but instead said more and more firmly: "Sister Huan'er, Sister Shan'er, you two unrighteous guys wait and see, I can handle this matter alone." ”
I don't know if it was stimulated by Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan in Nanhua Temple, which made Xu Yourong more confident, and then she took the matter of matching Xu Chen and Miss Zhao Jiajiu as the top priority, which obviously made the Pei family find out, so she also deliberately asked Xu Yourong to talk about it. And when Xu Yourong really nodded and admitted to Pei Shi that she did intend to let Xu Chen and Miss Zhao Jiajiu have further interactions, Pei Shi still couldn't help but be surprised.
Xu Chen's marriage, if you say who cares the most, then the Pei family is definitely one of them, but despite this, she really never put her mind on the Zhao family, because a person of Pei's status has learned another level about the problems and differences between the Xu family and the Zhao family, so the Pei family has never hoped that the candidate for Xu Chen's wife can be related to the Zhao family.
But that day, when Pei saw Xu Yourong saying that only a woman with good looks and temperament like Miss Zhao Jiajiu was the most suitable candidate for Xu Chen's wife, Pei's unwavering expression was still shaken - yes, if he really had a heart, why did he come to an impossible conclusion before he started? If you haven't even worked hard, how do you know what the result is?
Pei Shi was moved by Xu Yourong's firmness, and then he even stood on Xu Yourong's side, and when Pei Shi also moved, the result was not Xu Yourong's kind of child-like play. Under the strong influence of the Pei family, not only Mrs. Qi personally opened her mouth and invited Mrs. Zhao to come to the Xu Mansion as a guest.
Even the old princess of Beiding was moved by Pei's words, and asked Mrs. Zhao to go to the Beiding palace to enjoy the flowers. And this time, Mrs. Zhao took Miss Nine of the Zhao family with her at the suggestion of the old princess of Beiding, so that the Pei family could finally see the long-famous Miss Nine of the Zhao family with her own eyes. And it was also because of this meeting that Pei's will became a little stronger.
Xu Mansion, Early Autumn Hall.
"Mother, mother, you are at the ancestor today, did you see the ninth miss of the Zhao family? What do you think...... What do you think? Xu Yourong looked through the screen, and asked Pei Shi, who was returning from the Beiding Palace, a little curious, and a little anxious.
"You too, a girl's family, why are you so anxious, didn't you ask you to embroider the mandarin duck quilt first, and then come over?"
During this period of time, Xu Yourong can be said to have put the matter of matching Xu Chen and Miss Zhao Jiajiu in the first place, although the progress of the matter has always been that Xu Yourong is doing useless work, but Xu Yourong's stubbornness has also been stimulated.
