Chapter 126: On the Road
Because of the addition of the Xu family and the Zhang family, the team of Xia Zhai entering Beijing is particularly large, with a total of eight carriages for people, five carriages for pulling things (mainly for Xia Zhai), and the exclusive car of Xiao Zhai.
Twenty or thirty horseback guards and dart masters were scattered at the head and tail of the procession, on both sides, and they were mighty.
Zhang Caishu personally sent three Shujie, Wang Xi finally decided that he would go to the capital later according to the original plan, if Shujie and they found that there was something to bring from Yulin after they arrived in the capital, he could just help.
Shuwen's riding and archery kung fu is already very good, riding his "lightning", together with Shujie, sometimes running fast, sometimes guarding Shuyao's carriage at a normal speed, but it makes him happier than sitting in the carriage, and it also makes Zhang Xu, who can't ride a horse, jealous and his eyes are on fire, and he mutters that the first thing he did when he arrived in the capital was to learn to ride a horse, and even Xiao Zhang Chen waved his little fist: "Riding a horse, riding a horse." ”
At this moment, the brothers slowed down, and through the carriage window, they happened to hear Liu's mother talking to Shu Yao about the second room of the Xu family.
Shu Yao's voice was full of regret: "Old Madam Xu's face is really bad, she looks tired. Fortunately, when I arrived in the capital in a few days, with Sister Nian'er by her side, she will definitely get better soon. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? has such a daughter-in-law and granddaughter, but the son is a fool. Mother Liu shook her head, "This is due to the fact that Second Master Xu is not the eldest son, and there is an Lord Xu who can afford to provoke the Xu family, otherwise Old Madam Xu is really heartbroken." ”
Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, thinking of the possibility that Shujie was calculated and forced to marry by Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter that day, Mother Liu couldn't help but be afraid, if an unscrupulous woman like Xu Bing'er was allowed to enter the summer house, plus such a father and mother, it would be really endless trouble!
Shujie is also eighteen years old, not to mention marriage, you can get married. This time I entered Beijing. Mother Liu decided to inquire about some suitable girls, and then asked Jin Xida or Mrs. Weiyuan Hou to be Shujie Zhang Luo.
The eldest brother is the father, the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, Shujie's wife is the housewife, the housekeeping of the Xia Mansion, the guidance of Shuyao and Shuwen, and even the future affairs of the two sisters and brothers will fall on her, so temperament and character are particularly important.
Shu Yao also thought of this: "Mom, when the eldest brother is admitted to the Jinshi, can you set a sister-in-law for us?" Aunt Zhang said that when we have a sister-in-law, my sister-in-law can take care of my eldest brother, and she can also help my eldest brother take care of the family, me and Wen'er. The eldest brother can concentrate on doing things outside. ”
In the past two years, Shujie has also been regarded as one of the best candidates for son-in-law in Yulin County, with money, backers, and more prospects, and there are no father-in-laws and mothers-in-law to wait for. However, the matchmaker who came to the door only got one answer. It's just that Shujie is concentrating on preparing for the exam, and he doesn't want to settle down so quickly. Shu Yao knew that the eldest brother was actually worried about meeting an unvirtuous woman and couldn't treat her and Shuwen well, so he didn't care about family affairs.
But. Shu Yao still agrees to wait for her eldest brother to discuss her marriage after the scientific examination, once the eldest brother is named on the gold list, the level of the girls you can choose from will be completely different. Although Shu Yao is not blindly pursuing a high family like in his previous life, whether the eldest brother can go higher and further, his wife's character and upbringing are very crucial, and a good housewife can make a man have no worries. It can even be a help, just like Aunt Lan, all kinds of relationships inside and outside the house are handled perfectly, and the good reputation and good popularity of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion are inseparable from this Mrs. Hou.
And a gentle and lovely person who can be compatible with the eldest brother Qin Se. The sister-in-law who can get along with her and Shuwen happily is also what Shuyao is looking forward to. Shu Yao didn't know if the eldest brother in Lu Dao's previous life had a woman she liked, and whether she had talked about marriage, but she knew that the eldest brother of Lu Dao was still alone until he was killed, and the moment before he closed his eyes. It's just her sister who is thinking about her. At that time, the eldest brother only wanted to protect her secretly and do what she wanted. But you don't have the time and energy to think about your life's events, do you?
Mother Liu listened to Shu Yao's words, smiled and nodded: "Yes, your eldest brother will be nineteen after the New Year, it's time to decide." Seeing that Shu Yao seemed to be in a daze, he quipped: "Sister, don't worry, your eldest brother hurts you and Brother Wen the most, and I will definitely find you a sister-in-law who also loves you." ”
Shu Yao squinted her eyes and smiled: "Wen'er and I will also hurt my sister-in-law, just like my eldest brother." ”
Shuwen next to the carriage was also happy, and muttered to Shujie: "Big brother, I want a sister-in-law who is as good-looking as Sister Miao, has a good voice, and is kind to us." They have only met Nangong Miao once, but in the past two or three years, they have often exchanged letters, and Nangong Miao often asks people to bring things and gifts to Shu Yao's sisters and brothers.
Shujie stiffened his face: "Wen'er, how many times have I told you, the reputation of the girl's family is very important, don't talk casually, it will hurt others." "Nangong Miao got married at the beginning of last year, and it was very bad for outsiders to hear such a metaphor in the book.
This younger brother is really ...... to Miss Nangong That day, the Nangong girl was wearing a veil all the time, how did he know if the Daoist family was good-looking? Thinking of the big black eyes outside the veil and the crackling accusations against him, I don't know why, Shujie's heart suddenly itched, and he really wanted to see the appearance under the veil. Belch...... I'm just curious, didn't my brother say she was good-looking? Shujie found a "sufficient" reason for himself.
Shuwen pursed his lips: "How can you talk nonsense?" By the way, big brother, Sister Miao wants a pot of 'Red Dew Zhen' as a gift, don't forget to call me when pruning, Sister Miao gave me the canopy shape she wanted, and asked me to stare at it. ”
The corners of Shujie's mouth twitched, whose younger brother is this? He, the eldest brother who has been with him for almost ten years, is not as good as a sister Miao who has only seen him for less than half a day? Hmph, Yao'er is still well-behaved, or her daughter is a little padded jacket, and his sister is also his intimate little padded jacket.
"Big brother, we've been riding for almost an hour, haven't we? Would you like to go to the carriage and rest? Or read a book? Shuwen looked at the sun and began to urge the eldest brother to change to the carriage, "My sister said that I can't make you work too hard. My mother also said before that people who are too tired are prone to illness, and they must combine work and rest. Big brother, I took your favorite pillow and put it on the bed in the carriage. And the books in the bedside cabinet, I also put them according to your habits, so it's easy for you to pick them up. ”
Even if he lives in a guest house, Shujie must get up early in the morning to practice martial arts and memorize books, and he has to read books for a while at night before falling asleep. If you keep riding a horse during the day, it will be too hard, so Shu Yao and Shu Jie agreed that they can only ride for two hours a day at most, and they must be separated twice as exercise and loosen their muscles.
Listening to Shuwen say this, and then thinking of Shu Yao's cute appearance of being coquettish and "threatening" when he "talked about conditions" with him, Shujie, who was still pantothenic just now, immediately hooked the corners of his lips, and his heart was soft, how much his own pair of precious brothers and sisters loved him, and even the always informal books and texts could be so meticulous, what was he not satisfied with?
At this time, Shu Yao also "glared" at Shu Jie from the window: "Big brother, you should go to the carriage to rest, and your words count." ”
Shujie smiled helplessly: "Yes, little housekeeper, eldest brother is going to rest, Wen'er, don't rush to the distance by yourself, or accompany Yao'er like this, or go to the carriage to rest." ”
Shuwen grimaced: "I don't want to ride in a carriage, I haven't enjoyed riding yet." Besides, I'm now Liu's mother and sister's bodyguard. ”
Shu Jie, Shu Yao and the others laughed, causing the people in the carriages before and after them to grin.
Xia Ruoyun hurriedly said: "When I stop to rest later, I will change to Yao'er and their car, it's too boring to sit here, look at how lively they are!" ”
Xiao Zhang Chen hurriedly raised his arms and agreed: "Sit with Sister Yao'er, not with Dad." ”
Zhang Caishu, who was "disliked" by his wife and children, looked aggrieved: "If you don't take this carriage, isn't it more boring to leave me and Xu'er?" ”
Zhang Xu was "righteous": "Dad, I will accompany you, but when I learn to ride a horse, I can't accompany you in the carriage." He had secretly decided that he would start to learn to ride a horse when he got off the car in the middle of the two days, and anyway, with the speed of the convoy, he didn't need to gallop like Shuwen, so he just started to ride slowly.
Zhang Caishu was about to express his feelings about his eldest son's "never abandonment", when he heard the words behind him, he "wailed": "You don't sit, I just sleep." ”
"Ha Lu Ha", the carriage of the Zhang family of four was also filled with happy laughter.
Only Mrs. Xu's car had a dull atmosphere.
Mrs. Xu's personal mother brought her double the red date water: "Old lady, in fact, Aunt Yu and her brother have sworn not to tell Lu about it, why do you have to let the fourth girl marry Yu Erlang?" With the conditions of the four girls, after two years, the rumor has faded, even if you can't marry someone like the prefect's son, you can still marry a big businessman. ”
Old Madam Xu shook her head: "There is no impermeable wall, didn't you hear those maids and women cooing, Bing'er only wore a thin dress, and her body was exposed when she was soaked in water?" If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if there is a little rumor, who else will marry her? can only affect a group of Xu family daughters again. You can't kill all the maids, can you? The second child is right, now that he has decided like this, everyone can only sigh that this is an accident, and there is nothing to say. And both of them are rumored to be hard-hitting, but there is no one to say who cheats anyone. ”
Mrs. Xu knew very well that her second son really regarded Xu Bing'er as a disaster, for fear that she would not be able to marry and stay in the Xu family to "remedy" him. Alas, forget it, her grandson can get married, how long can she worry about her son? Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let them go by themselves, she can't take care of this old bone. However, Li (Mrs. Xu) and Xu Bing'er really "stole chickens and rice" this time, and they were bent on calculating others, but they fell into the mud pit instead.
After the convoy traveled for half a day, the dart master of the Xinyi Dart Bureau said that there was a small town in front of him, so he didn't stop eating dry food on the side of the road, and went directly to the town's restaurant to eat, which took less than a quarter of an hour to travel. Zhang Caishu often walks this road, and he knows the way. Even if he eats some dry food by himself in the Su Ri, there are so many people now, old and young, it is better to eat comfortably.
