Chapter 63: Marriage Proposal
Mu E sent Xu Ruliang back, thought all the way, and still planned to say something, but heard Xu Ruxian say: "The previous thing was that Ah Liang was reckless, and I asked my cousin not to be angry." ”
"Don't say that." Mu E remembered that Xu Ruliang was to protect Xu's reputation and his mother, so he regretted his misunderstanding of Xu Ruliang at the beginning, "I should apologize to you." ”
Xu Ruliang was confused.
Mu E was shocked to realize that he almost said that he had leaked out of the eavesdropping, and hurriedly turned his mouth to cover up: "It's okay." I just want to say that my cousin's words are serious today, I hope Ah Liang won't be angry with his cousin. ”
Xu Ruliang immediately said: "How come? Isn't it said in the books that loyalty is against the ear, my cousin is for my good, and I can save it. ”
"That's good." Mu E is also relieved, this cousin is relaxed and knowledgeable, and she is really likable. He couldn't help but invite: "Next time I have the chance, we can play together again...... By the way, on my birthday on the 19th of next month, will you come? ”
Xu Ruliang couldn't respond.
On the nineteenth of next month, she will probably already be in Shaoyang.
Mu E said that she would never refuse, and agreed: "When the time comes, I will take you to have fun." ”
Looking at his happy eyebrows, Xu Ruliang couldn't say no.
Silence reached the door.
Qidiao Yan'er and Xu Ning were already in the carriage.
Xu Ruliang was slightly blessed by Mu E, and walked out quickly.
Mu E stretched out his hand to help her, but failed. After staying in mid-air for a long time, he retracted it sneeringly, unconsciously rubbing his fingertips, feeling some rough crumbs.
At first glance, it is bark shavings.
Tree......
Xiao Jue is still in the tree!
Hurry up and save people.
Mu Jue had already fainted from crying.
The wind that has been blowing for so long after being frightened and stimulated. A high fever was initiated that night.
Xu Shen personally went to the palace to ask for a doctor.
It took five days and five nights to get better.
During this period. Mu E never stepped out of his room.
Everyone thought he was blaming himself.
Xu Shen also complained about his son in his heart. But after waiting for seven or eight days, I didn't see my son come out, so I couldn't help but worry and went to visit in person.
But I saw that my son was in good spirits and very good.
Mu E seemed to have just come out of the bath, her hair was still wet and dripping, leaning on the windowsill. smiled at the seal of one side with a spring breeze on his face.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Shen put down the chicken soup and took his son's seal to see. Looking at the statue of the monkey on the seal pillar, I also saw that the carving was "Ea Yangyang". She thought about it for a moment and smiled: "Have you given yourself a new chapter again?" ”
Engraving seals is one of my younger son's hobbies.
She knows.
But this time I guessed wrong.
Mu E didn't say much.
The long-term lack of communication between mother and son has caused estrangement that is far from being resolved in one or two days.
Xu Shen was stupid. Serve the chicken soup and hand it to his son. Look at the seal yourself. Looking at it, his eyebrows gradually raised: "The carving of this chapter ...... It doesn't seem to be quite the same as yours. ”
Mu E was stunned.
I don't know that my mother also pays attention to him, not only knows his interests and hobbies, but also is familiar with his craftsmanship......
Such a reaction also confirms that Xu Shen is right.
Before contacting him, I wanted to tell him about my son's cold reaction, and then looking at my son's spring breeze just now, it was difficult to make people not believe that there was already someone in his son's heart!
Xu Shen suddenly became energetic, "Tell my mother." Which girl is it? ”
Mu E was surprised by the wide range of her own mother's thoughts, and her eyes swept over her eyes that shone with gossip brilliance. Ignored.
Xu Shen's eyes darkened, and he sat down on the other side of the couch and fell into silence for a long time.
Mu E felt that something was wrong for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Shen wiped the corners of his eyes, and responded weakly, "It's okay", but it made people look like they were in trouble.
Mu E looked at his mother helplessly: "If you have something to say, my son will listen to it." ”
"Really?" Xu Shen's eyes lit up with joy, this was the first time that his youngest son thoughtfully asked her if she was okay after she said she was fine.
Does it show that the youngest son has really grown up and begun to understand the difficulty of motherhood?
Xu Shen was relieved and satisfied.
The humble appearance made Mu E feel sad and ashamed and self-blamed.
In the past, he always felt that his mother did not treat him as close as his eldest brother, but how could he himself serve his mother as diligently as a big brother? The cousin will still think about his mother, but as his mother's own son, he has never thought about his mother.
What unfilial piety!
Mu E smiled bitterly, his eyes were full of apologies for his mother, "My son has been very bored these days, and I want to listen to people, but it just so happens that you are here, how can my son not listen?" ”
"Okay." Xu Shen said yes repeatedly, couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and smiled.
Mu E said again: "I'm afraid that you don't want to say it." ”
"How could it! You kid! Xu Shenjiao was disgusted, and her heart was about to melt with joy, so she talked about her thoughts on the marriage of her children: "...... The mother is not like the mother of other people's families, who desperately takes her son, and does not allow her son to have someone in her heart. ”
This "other people's mother" faintly refers to the mother of her eldest daughter-in-law Wei Wan, Wei Tian.
The mother said that he was the mother of the family, but as a little brother-in-law, it was inconvenient for him to talk about it.
Mu E smiled and said, "You are enlightened. ”
Although my mother doesn't like my sister-in-law, I have never interfered with the married life of my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Unlike Wei Tian's, in order to disgust his daughter-in-law, he stuffed people into his son's house every three days.
thinks he is clever and can handle his daughter-in-law, but he doesn't know that he has become a laughing stock.
Xu Shen despised his in-laws, his mood became more and more comfortable, and he said to his son: "So you can rest assured." No matter which girl is married, as long as she marries you and treats you well, her mother will never let her be wronged. ”
Mu E smiled and thanked him.
Xu Shen's face turned sad, looked at his son, and did not speak for a long time.
Mu E was surprised: "What's wrong with my mother?" ”
"Mother is worried," Xu Shen glanced out the window to make sure that there was no one around, and then said faintly: "I'm afraid that you will follow the old path of your sister and your brother." ”
Mu E immediately became nervous: "Is my sister not doing well?" ”
The eldest brother is in the house, how are he doing? He can find out when he goes out. However, my sister married far away in Liaodong, and has never returned home since she got married, and only relies on two or three family letters every year to contact. I don't know the specifics, but it really makes him worry.
Xu Shen hurriedly reassured him: "There is nothing wrong. I just received a letter from my family a few days ago, and your sister added a big fat nephew to you. ”
"Raw? That's a good thing! Mu E swept away the gloom and was overjoyed.
However, Xu Shen was not happy, "A good thing is a good thing." But your mother and I have an extra grandson, and I have to find out a month later than others! I just received the good news, everyone has made a full moon wine! ”
From Liaodong to Ganning Road. Across almost the entire Jokhang territory. Sending a letter, not a month, will take at least ten or twenty days.
Mu E was silent.
"Mother just hates herself." Xu Shen sighed deeply: "My mother was too arrogant when she was young. Single-mindedly trying to choose a good match for his children. As a result, it dragged on for two times, and in the end, it was taken advantage of by your imperial uncle. Marrying your sister so far away makes it difficult for our mother and daughter to see each other. and let your brother marry your sister-in-law...... Your brother is hard to do between me and your sister-in-law in this life, poor place! ”
"Mother, don't think so." Mu E thoughtfully shook his mother's hand. "My sister and eldest brother are doing well now, and they will both thank you."
Xu Shen sighed as if resigned to his fate, and held his son's hand with his backhand, "Okay, your sister and your brother will be like this for the rest of their lives." Mother is the most relieved, only you. ”
Mu E comforted: "My son is also very good, mother, don't worry." ”
Xu Shen's eyes glanced towards the seal, "Can you rest assured?" ”
I was held in the house for seven or eight days in a row. Looking at the seal and smirking, it was as if he was suffering from unrequited love. How can it be reassuring?
Mu E was embarrassed and speechless.
"Can't you tell your mother yet?" Xu Shen said with a disappointed expression: "Mother doesn't have any other ideas, just think, if you are suitable, you can settle the family affairs as soon as possible, and it will be regarded as your friendship." Otherwise, in the future, if your imperial uncle is suddenly happy one day, he will point you to a ...... you don't know."
"Mother, don't say it, there is really no one in my son's heart," Mu E sighed as if compromising, "This chapter is what Xiao Jue snatched from his cousin and gave it to me, it's really not the Rausch you thought...... Affection. ”
Xu Shen's eyes lit up: "Cousin? Which cousin? ”
Mu E no longer wanted to let his own mother continue to guess, so he simply told her what happened that day.
Xu Shen listened, and couldn't be more silent.
After a long time, the spirit left without possession.
It was stopped for two days.
On the third day, he suddenly summoned Mu E to the upper room and asked him his opinion: "Would you like to marry your 'Ah Liang' cousin?" ”
Mu E was dumbfounded: "Ah Liang is still ...... young"
"Just get early!"
Xu Shen was very happy, his son did not refuse, but just minded that Ah Liang was still young. In other words, in fact, the son also thought about this problem, and even thought about marrying Ah Liang.
So what are you waiting for?
She has always been resolute in her work. In the afternoon of the same day, I found a suitable person and picked the auspicious day of April 17 to propose marriage to the Pingyang Palace.
At this time, Xu Ruliang was already on his way to Shaoyang.
After two days and nights, he crossed the river and entered the boundary of Lingzhou.
Lingzhou belongs to Lingwu County, one of the three counties in the central part of Ningshuo, east of Yanchi County, south of Tongxin County, west of the Yellow River and Yongning County, north of Inner Mongolia Etuoke Qianqi, the geographical position is superior, the climate is changeable, the products are abundant, known as the "plug on the south of the Yangtze River".
Lingzhou City, the county seat, was founded in the Western Han Dynasty and was Lingzhou at the beginning......
Closing the "Xu's Geographical Chronicles", Xu Ruliang rubbed his eyebrows to relieve fatigue, and leaned on the windowsill to look downstairs.
They chartered the entire inn as a resting place for the night.
In front of the inn is the main street of Lingzhou City.
At dusk, the peddlers' pawns and merchants and travelers are all in a hurry. There is no such thing as a thriving transaction on the streets.
Xu Ruliang was still fascinated.
This is the Tu Yu world that she spent her whole life guarding in her previous life.
Yu Shu pushed the door in, saw her leaning against the window, and hurriedly closed the window sash: "The prince has explained that there is a north wind at night, and you must not be allowed to lean against the window." ”
The wind is cold, it is she who is uncomfortable, and it is everyone's trip that is delayed.
Xu Ruliang divided the priorities, turned around and returned to the table, "Something?" ”
"Just received a flying pigeon summons." The book was handed over to the fire-painted bamboo tube.
Xu Ruliang took it apart and took a look, his fingertips flicked, and the note fell to the ground.
Yu Shu casually glanced at it, and wrote impressively, "Princess Song proposed marriage to the prince E, and asked to marry the county lord, and the prince has agreed." (To be continued......)
