Chapter 429: The matchmaker comes to the door
Xue Rui came back in the evening, but he didn't see Yu Shu's figure in the building, so he asked someone to ask, and he knew that Yu Xiaoxiu had come in the afternoon. At that time, Xiaobai, who was playing the pipa, was present, and when he heard the sisters and brothers say that their mother and relatives were missing, they went out to find someone, so they told Xue Rui the truth.
Xue Rui is such a person as Aunt Daocui, of course, he also knows that Yu Shu doesn't treat this biological mother who remarried to the Ji family as a concubine, saying that she doesn't want to see her, it's all good, compared to that aunt, she treats Zhao Huicai like a mother and daughter.
Yu Shu went out, Xue Rui had nowhere to find her, so he got busy with business first, pondering the few confessions he got today, and waited until dinner time was over before seeing Yu Shu come back.
Yu Shu came back from the backyard and saw that Xue Rui's room on the first floor was lit up, so he pushed the door in directly, and found a chair to sit down and pour water to drink, while calling Xue Rui in the small study in the cubicle.
"Big brother, I'm back."
Xue Rui heard the door knocking, so she put down what she was doing, and came out to take a look, she was sitting there hanging her shoulders and rubbing her legs, with a tired face, guessing that she didn't find anyone, so she asked:
"Why did I hear that your mother is missing?"
"Well, a few days ago, she ran out of the city and disappeared, Xiao Xiu went to see her today, only to find that someone was lost. Xiao Xiu and I looked for her in the east of the city for an afternoon, but someone saw her leave home with the maid, but I don't know where she went, I saw that it was late, so I sent Xiao Xiu back, and then came back. Yu Shu was depressed, this time it was her negligence, she didn't think that Aunt Cui had forgotten the pain after her scars, so bold that she dared to run out, and she had already let the mother-in-law who boiled water stare at her.
Xue Rui said: "I'll send someone to help you find it?" ”
Yu Shu said casually: "No need, she doesn't have any money on her, she can't run far with a maid, maybe she will come back tomorrow." ”
After speaking, she saw Xue Rui's somewhat disapproving expression, and only then did she feel that she was a little cold when she said this, after all, in Xue Rui's opinion, no matter how bad Aunt Cui was, in the end, it was her biological mother, and he didn't know that she had never treated that woman as a mother.
So he rubbed his eyebrows, and continued: "I have calculated a hexagram, she is okay now, and she has been safe and sound for the past few days." ”
In fact, she thought about it a lot, Xue Rui had already understood her temper, and knew that she was a person who compared her heart to her heart, and others had to treat her well first, so she would be good to others and refuse to suffer, but she also valued love and righteousness.
It's just that this person is lost, and it's not a thing that is lost, so how can you sit idly by?
Xue Rui sat down beside her, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her, and said patiently: "I'll take a look tomorrow, if people don't come back, I'll help you find it, even if nothing happens, it's not good to let your mother stay outside." ”
"Hmm." Yu Shu took into account Yu Xiaoxiu's mood, so he responded to his words, and didn't want to talk about Aunt Cui anymore, so he touched his empty stomach and said:
"I'm hungry, let's eat first."
There is no need to ask, she also knows that Xue Rui has not eaten dinner yet, and she will wait until now.
Sure enough, Xue Rui had people prepare the meal early, and when she came back, the meal would be served.
At the dinner table, Xue Rui talked to Yu Shu about a grand event that was about to come:
"Next month's Holy Ancestor Festival, Taishi Shuyuan will pick a few candidates to accompany you every year, this is a rare good thing, when you go to the Shuyuan these days, remember to pay attention, it is best to inquire from Academician Fang, according to your ranking in this year's Dayan Examination, eighty percent can be selected, but I am afraid that I will be secretly replaced by those children of the family, so I must plan early."
Yu Shu asked half-puzzled: "Holy Ancestor Sacrifice Day?" What day is it? ”
As soon as Xue Rui saw her expression, he realized that she didn't know about it, although it was strange, but she still told her:
"The ninth day of the fifth month, is the death of Emperor Anwu, since two hundred years ago to set up a sacrifice day, every year on this day, today's saints have to drive to the imperial tomb to worship the sky, to comfort the holy spirits of the past dynasties, pray for the dawn of the people in the world, the officials in important positions in the court must follow, the holy ancestor sacrifice day is organized by Si Tianjian, of course, there is also a part of the Taishi Academy."
Yu Shu nodded knowingly and said, "I know, the day after tomorrow, there is Academician Fang's morning class, and I will probe his tone." ”
Accompaniment, this is really not a trivial matter, I didn't expect her to have the opportunity to see the true face of the Son of Heaven so soon, I don't know what kind of appearance and temperament she is born in today's saint
After tea and dinner, Yu Shu found an opportunity to remind Xue Rui: "Big brother, I think you will see blood tomorrow, stay away from those sharp corners, the sword is not long-eyed, you should avoid it......"
"Okay." Xue Rui didn't ask her how to calculate it, and secretly wrote down that she would be careful tomorrow. Seeing that she was going upstairs to rest, he hesitated and stopped her when he walked to the door.
"Ashu."
"Huh? What's the matter," Yu Shu turned her head and put one hand on the door frame at will, wearing a caryophyllus-colored gown with a corset, which made her look like she had long legs and a thin waist, at the age of sixteen, such a tall woman is rare, and people with a slender figure often feel delicate, but she has a backbone, so that he just looks at it, and he can't help but like it, and can't help but look forward to it.
Xue Rui's handsome eyebrows and eyes smiled warmly, and when it came to his mouth, he changed it:
"It's nothing, you go to bed early, remember to let them rub your medicine."
It's just that he doesn't want to rush and spoil the self-evident closeness in front of him.
The next day, Yu Shu was going to go home, and yesterday she sent Yu Xiaoxiu back, because it was dark, the door didn't enter, and she was also a little worried about Zhao Hui and the little doll that was not big.
Lin Fuzhi said that she was going back to the house, so she informed the cook early, prepared a four-story food box, which was filled with the special soup and dim sum of the Wangji Building, and prepared a basket of melons and fruits purchased in a few days, and carried them to the dark box behind the carriage for her to take back.
Yu Shu greeted Xue Rui in the morning, and Xue Rui knew that she would always live in the Wangji Building until she finished sorting out the big box of files, so she didn't worry about people running away, and she was secretly glad that she had found such a thing to do and kept people, otherwise how could she see each other every day.
As soon as the sun rose, Yu Shu returned home, Zhao Hui looked at her happily, sent her to greet Mrs. He, and called people to her, she didn't come out of confinement, sat on the bed, covered her stomach with a silk quilt, and called the maid to bring the coffee table, and after a while, a table was set up to eat.
The two of them talked, and Yu Shuti didn't mention Aunt Cui running away from home.
He Fangzhi went to the hospital, Yu Xiaoxiu was coaxed by Yu Shu last night, and went to school as usual today.
Yu Shu knocked half a plate of melon seeds, and finished talking to Zhao Hui about the appearance in the Taishi Library, just when He Xiaochuan woke up, the nurse brought the child over to show her.
Zhao Hui said: "The last time you came to the house, the string of bells you gave really worked, in the middle of the night, this kid cried, shook it once, and when he heard the sound, he was obedient, so that people can rest assured." ”
Saying that, she asked the nurse to hand the child to Yu Shu to hug, Yu Shu hugged He Xiaochuan this time, she was not so restrained, touched his soft little hands, and only thought it was fun, He Xiaochuan ignored her hands, hit two Ha Lu Ha, and fell asleep after a while.
At this time, there was some movement outside the door, and Shen's mother went out to support her, and after a while, she ran in again, and said to Zhao Hui and Yu Shu with a strange face:
"Madam, girl, a matchmaker has come to the door in the front yard."
Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment, but didn't react, Yu Shu turned around and asked, "What matchmaker?" ”
Shen's mother stomped her feet, "I said I came to propose to the girl!" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Hui hurriedly sat up straight and asked carefully: "Where did the person come from, so he came to the door to propose marriage, what's the matter?" ”
Although she, a mother, has been thinking about Yu Shu's marriage for a long time, but without Yu Shu's nod, she is only thinking about the dowry list in private, so cold that a matchmaker comes to the door, and she is not prepared at all, how can she not be surprised.
"The slave maid went to ask," Shen's mother couldn't say clearly, and she was going out again.
"Wait," Yu Shu hugged He Xiaochuan to the nurse and said to Zhao Hui: "Mother, I'll take a look at the front." ”
Zhao Hui wanted to say that this matter was not suitable for her to come forward with a girl's family, but she was inconvenient, so she couldn't send Mrs. He out, so she had to leave
When I arrived in the front yard, Yu Shu just walked into the door of the living room, and saw a woman wearing red and green sitting on the chair on the east side, looking in her forties, and a **-year-old girl standing behind her.
"Is this the eldest girl of the Yu family?"
Yu Shu looked at her sideways, walked over and sat down on the main seat, and said, "Who invited you here?" ”
The matchmaker also has eyesight, and when he saw Yu Shu's style, he guessed that it was the main owner, and he was not angry that she was slacking, he stroked the collar of his clothes with a smile, and said eloquently:
"Miss Yu is really a handsome character, she is the dragon and phoenix among the people with one eye, no wonder she can pass the big Yan test of the imperial court, it is really a competition. However, the girl's family is always the girl's family, and at your age, twenty-eight is not small, so you should find a good family as soon as possible. Mortals are not worthy of a wise man like you, if you have to be from an official family, you can match - the third young master of Yin Shilang's family, the appearance of talents, are all first-class, just two years older than you, just two years older than you, can write a good poem, can be literary and martial, I don't know how many people want to climb the road, it is rare that his wife falls in love with the girl, you are also called Fuqi, you need to know the surname of this official family, where is the ordinary portal to get in"
Yu Shu listened to the matchmaker's babbling for a long time, and only understood one thing - this was sent by a waiter surnamed Yin to propose marriage, and he wanted to protect her from the matchmaker.
"Okay," Yu Shu interrupted the matchmaker's endless praise of the third young master of the Yin family, furrowed his heroic eyebrows, and said, "I don't agree to this family business, you go back." ”
The first time he met the matchmaker, Yu Shu was not angry, but just impatient.
The matchmaker stopped the conversation suddenly, looked at Yu Shu suspiciously, and said: "That's not what I said, this matchmaker's words, your parents' orders, your wife agreed, and Mrs. Shilang called me to say something, why is the eldest girl unwilling?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Shu was confused for a moment, and changed his face slightly: "My wife, which one do you say?" ”
The matchmaker said sullenly: "Which one else can it be, naturally it is the mother of the eldest girl." ”
Yu Shu grinned, understood, and immediately became happy, and scolded secretly in his heart: This Aunt Cui who has nothing to do to smoke! (To be continued.)
