Chapter 158: No need to speak
The big house of the Xu family, in the Gyeongbok Courtyard of Mrs. Xu.
Mama Xin was holding a silk fan, gently and quickly shaking the wind for the eldest lady.
There are some pines and cypresses in Gyeongbokgwon, but there are not many of them - because the Xu family was originally located in the northern suburbs of the mountain, and the mountains and rivers here are good, and I don't know how much cooler it is in the city of Jing'an in summer! But now......
Mrs. Xu tilted her body so that she could get closer to the wind sent by Mama Xin's hand.
Now...... She looked at the bluestone floor outside the main house, which was basking in the midday sun, reflecting the dense light. It's like a big stove with wood burning in the kitchen.
Her vision was blurred and distorted.
The eldest lady couldn't bear it: "I don't see such a hot method during the Dragon Boat Festival, what's wrong today?" Are there nine days in the sky? ”
Mama Xin cautiously approached, and the fan in her hand shook faster.
"Madame, don't worry, the young master will be back soon......"
She took the fan from Mama Xin's hand, got up and walked two steps, looked at the distance outside the door that she couldn't see, and said to herself: "Feng'er is free and solemn, in this marriage, you must welcome back a virtuous lady who knows how to be polite, but how can you ......?"
…… But how could he provoke the eldest daughter of Master Li's family!?
Master Li is in a high position in Jing'an City, and there is no bad reputation. But that officialdom career is far from a family like the Xu family!
This marriage came strangely, and the Xu family didn't dare to refuse rashly, so they had to quickly recruit Qingfeng to come back and ask!
Especially this kid, he has indeed been in an untraceable trance recently-isn't it, just for the daughter of the Li family?
Mrs. Xu guessed wildly. Instantly, I felt that it was a lot hotter again, and I quickly fanned the fan, hoping to dispel the boredom in my heart.
Xu Qingfeng hurriedly returned to the house, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw his mother's expression.
Mother used to be very serious - except last time because of the seventh cousin, and that Shen Lian thing...... Beyond a slight gaffe.
Xu Qingfeng rarely sees his mother like this!
He was suddenly summoned back from the Shen family by his subordinates, and he also heard some reasons on the way - the subordinates urged him all the way. said that the old lady was waiting for him to return home to discuss important matters. And this event seems to be related to his life......
Speaking of marriage, Xu Qingfeng was also full of apprehension.
But seeing that his mother was anxious, he immediately put away his delusions and speculations.
"The son said goodbye to his mother. Upon hearing the news of his mother, the son immediately ordered someone to set up a car and come back. It was only because of the suddenness of the incident that my aunt kept another meal before letting me go, which caused my mother to wait for a long time. It's the son who doesn't ......."
Xu Qingfeng bowed and saluted, and he hadn't finished speaking. has been dragged by the eldest lady.
The eldest lady looked Xu Qingfeng up and down, as if she wanted to see if he was intact.
And the latter, except for the slight exhaustion of the road guide, is as usual.
The eldest lady felt a little cooler.
She grabbed Xu Qingfeng, and the mother and son sat on the Arhat couch. Only then did he open his mouth and tell Xu Qingfeng the reason for letting him come back.
"Alas!" The eldest lady opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she sighed first.
Xu Qingfeng was even more apprehensive in his heart - even when he talked about his marriage. There is no need to be in such a hurry, let alone sigh. Isn't it. Is this marriage the kind that makes my mother a little hesitant?
"Why is Mother sighing?" Xu Qingfeng clenched his hands slightly on his knees...... He was both happy and afraid.
What can make the mother hesitate......
Xu Qingfeng's mind easily appeared like a seventh cousin again.
But my mother was so worried, in case she was not allowed to ...... No, it seems that I still have to talk to my seventh cousin, and her temperament should be well restrained.
Xu Qingfeng's thoughtful demeanor fell in the eyes of the eldest lady, which made the eldest lady startled again.
She didn't worry much, took a deep breath, and simply poured out all her words.
"Feng'er! Do you know the daughter of Master Li's family? The eldest lady asked as she looked at Xu Qingfeng's expression.
Xu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment as if he had been suddenly dragged back to reality from a dream, and then said stupidly: "Who is Lord Li?" ”
The eldest lady was a little unconvinced—although her son never lied, but think of the eagerness of the matchmaker to come to the door...... It's just like Lord Li has long recognized Feng'er as his son-in-law. Even if Feng'er doesn't know the inside story, he doesn't know anything about this person at all!
"How many people are there in Jing'an City who can be called an adult? This Master Li is Jing'an Cao Peng, who originally came from Beijing, don't you recognize it? ”
The eldest lady couldn't figure out the reason in her heart, if Feng'er didn't recognize this Lord Li, could it be that she had a personal relationship with someone else's daughter!?
Is this worth it?!
The eldest lady's hand shook, and she hurriedly grabbed Xu Qingfeng, her voice trembling: "You really don't recognize it!?" ”
Xu Qingfeng is confused, isn't this talking about marriage? How can it be so good to be an adult again. Besides, my mother should know - he doesn't get into school, and he doesn't earn a career...... Except for this time when I went to Shen's house to ask for a collection of poems, almost all of them were in Fuzhong and the Academy.
In the past, there was no entertainment...... This, where to know what adults to go!
"I really don't recognize it." Xu Qingfeng shook his head decisively.
The eldest lady slowly let go of the hand that was holding Xu Qingfeng's clothes, and the confusion on her face deepened.
If you don't recognize Master Li, then you should know someone's daughter!
"Feng'er, have you provoked anyone's young lady lately? Or ......" Mrs. Xu thought about it and felt that her statement was a little inappropriate...... After all, she didn't object, but this matter was too sudden, and she had to figure it out first, so she changed her words and said, "Do you have someone you like in your heart?" ”
Xu Qingfeng listened to the first half of the paragraph, and his heart tightened, and he was already flustered.
After listening to the second half of the sentence, Xu Qingfeng's face directly flushed red - Zhizi Mo Ruomu, he did go to provoke the seventh cousin!
It's a pity that it hasn't succeeded yet...... Therefore, it is appropriate to say that it is "the person you like"!
"Mother...... Ho, what do you say. Xu Qingfeng said and lowered his head.
It's a default.
The eldest lady swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and for the first time felt that her stomach was full of words, but she didn't know how to talk to her son.
Feng'er is not young, and it is time to talk about a family matter. However, his father always wanted him to work hard for a few more days, and when he really achieved something, it was not too late to talk about marriage.
…… She wasn't ready yet, her son already had an idea, but she wasn't a mother.
The eldest lady endured the sadness - after all, since the son liked it, then there was nothing wrong with the marriage.
Anyway, it was a matter of time, since the other party was intentional, she also reflected on the trouble of the Xu family - it's just that she has to send someone to inquire about the daughter of the Li family, so that she can really rest assured.
When the eldest lady heard her son's idea, her heart was sad and happy, and her eyes were sore, and she was almost about to cry.
She hurriedly turned around, didn't look at Xu Qingfeng, and then waved at Xu Qingfeng and said, "Since this is the case, my mother knows it in her heart." You go back first, and tomorrow let your father send someone to inquire about this daughter of the Li family - don't complain about your mother's troubles, this marriage is a big matter, but you have to be cautious! ”
As she spoke, her eyes became more and more sore, and she stood up and prepared to let her son go back first.
…… Then calm down by yourself.
But Xu Qingfeng was shocked!
He suddenly looked up at his mother: "What! What the...... The daughter of the Li family! ”
Xu Qingfeng's suddenly raised his voice, which frightened the eldest lady so much that her tears returned...... She looked at her son who was shy and acquiesced in amazement, this, she didn't know Master Li, and she didn't know the daughter of the Li family...... What kind of mess is this?
Only then did Xu Qingfeng understand that his mother had just asked him what Master Li...... It turned out to be ......
His feeling at this time was like a rain in his heart, pouring all his secret private affairs that had just been dried.
He hurriedly put away his shyness just now, and looked wolfish.
"My son doesn't know Master Li, and he doesn't know the daughter of the Li family!" Xu Qingfeng's voice was a little pitiful, and even a little pleading-he never knew what lovesickness was, and after this first taste, he just tasted a hint of sweetness, and his mouth became bitter in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Xu knew that her son was not lying, and she knew from his expression that he really didn't recognize the daughter of the Li family.
In the end, it was her son's big deal, and Mrs. Xu grasped the key point at once.
"Then you're ...... Who is the one you have just confessed? ”
Mrs. Xu's voice became a little stern.
She heard that the Li family asked a matchmaker to inquire, and every word implied that Lord Li and the Li family wanted to recruit Feng'er, a son-in-law. The Li family is powerful, and of course she has a lot of worries and worries. But she also had to admit that the daughters of this official eunuch, especially the eldest daughter, were generally well educated.
If there is no daughter of a scholarly family who is well-connected, there is nothing wrong with booking the Li family for Feng'er.
Her worries are nothing more than striving for excellence.
But now it seems that Feng'er actually likes someone else?
Who is that!?
Mrs. Xu suddenly thought of a lot of bad things, Feng'er's age is the most likely to be blinded by floral balm powder, but don't be a messy woman!
Seeing that her son had not spoken, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and made up her mind to beat her son ruthlessly.
"Feng'er, no matter who you have in mind! You have to think about our Xu family first! The eldest lady was very sonorous, "Our family won't let those messy women enter the door...... If you are not a family of poets and scholars, and you are not a serious official family, you don't have to speak! ”
Mrs. Xu's words shocked Xu Qingfeng's brain - his mother had already had a conflict with her seventh cousin, and she would not like a woman like her seventh cousin in her heart. Now, let's talk about family history again......
A family of poetry and books, a serious official family - the Shen family! What is the Shen family?
Don't open your mouth?
