Chapter 1105: Apricot's Marriage
Back in Qinghe Courtyard, Chen Xu brought Niu Dashi and Xing'er over, and there were only three people in the room: Chen Xu, Chen Hu, and Chen Jiang.
"Dad, mother, what's the matter with me and Brother Dashi?" Apricot ran in and asked loudly.
Although Xing'er is almost fifteen years old, she has lived with Chen Xu in Xianyang over the years, whether it is in the women's college or in her daily life, she has come into contact with the daughters of princes and wealthy businessmen, and has learned to read, arithmetic, painting, dance, music, tailoring, embroidery and other high-end education that rural girls cannot touch at all. Even among a group of princes and princesses, their appearance is not too inferior, the only thing is that they are more in a hurry, and the habit of shouting and talking loudly cannot be changed, and they still retain the characteristics of the little girl in the countryside.
"Big stone sits!" Chen Xu asked Niu Dashi to sit next to him.
"Xing'er, come, mother hug!" Chen Jiang also beckoned Xing'er to sit on his lap.
"Brother Xu, what happened?" Niu Dashi sat down, feeling suddenly a little apprehensive.
"Let you come to Xianyang with my father and mother this time, one is to take you to Xianyang to play and open your eyes, but unfortunately my aunt didn't come, so I can only wait for the next time, and the other thing is that you and Xing'er are married......"
"Marriage~" Xing'er, who was sitting on Chen Jiang's lap, stood up with a sigh of surprise, and then stared at Niu Dashi, her cheeks slowly flushed.
"Sit down, what a body to make a noise!" Chen Hu patted the armrest lightly, Xing'er turned her head to look at Chen Jiang's family, pouted and said, "I am willing to marry Brother Dashi, but ...... But I don't want to go back to Qinghe Town! ”
"Whew~" Almost at the same time, the room seemed to sound three exhalations.
Chen Xu did not object because Xing'er, so there was a lot less worry and trouble. Chen Hu is really sorry for this daughter, he went out to fight when he was only three years old, and when he came back, Xing'er had already followed Chen Xu to Xianyang to live, and the father and daughter had almost no too close family relationship, although they said it harshly, but if Xing'er really resisted this marriage, he would be even more nerve-wracking. As for Chen Jiang's family, she and Niu Dashi's mother farmed together every day, when Xing'er was still very young, they had already regarded each other's children as their daughters-in-law and sons-in-law, and took good care of them on weekdays, Dashi's mother also looked forward to her son's marriage for several years, and if the Chen family repented at this juncture of marriage, I am afraid that the neighbor relationship for decades will also be broken, and it will be embarrassing to meet in the future.
Now that Xing'er doesn't object, then this matter is almost certain and there are not too many problems.
As for Xing'er's reluctance to return to Qinghe Town, Chen Xu took it for granted, and no one would be willing to go back.
Xianyang is so prosperous and lively, there is a brother who is the left minister here, the fifth princess and Meng Wan, the two most respected sisters-in-law in the women's world, and a sister-in-law with strong martial arts, even if she is a daughter in Xianyang, no one dares to mess with her, those sons and daughters of the princely and princely families can only carefully curry favor when they see her, and dare to offend the sister of the Marquis of Qinghe, it is estimated that they will break their legs by their father when they go home.
What's more, Xianyang has a large group of female classmates who are good with her, all of whom are daughters of the princely princess's family, and they have a similar identity to her, and they have long left Qinghe Town and Xiaohe Village to Java for daily entertainment.
As for marrying Niu Dashi, Xing'er also adheres to the customs and habits of her parents in this era, and probably believes that her future husband is Niu Dashi since she was sensible, so her identity and habits have changed over the years, but this idea has never changed.
Seeing that Xing'er didn't object, Chen Xu immediately nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, if you don't want to go back to Qinghe Town and Xiaohe Village, I will help you buy a big mansion in the city, and Dashi will go back and take your aunt over, and then hold a wedding in Xianyang, and live in Xianyang in the future, so that the two of us can meet from time to time!" ”
"Hee-hee, I knew my brother was the best for me!" Xing'er hugged Chen Xu's arm and smiled.
"Brother Xu......" Niu Dashi hesitated and stood up, his face a little worried, "I...... I don't want to come to Xianyang......"
Belch! Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and asked strangely: "Why?" If you think it's not good for me to help you buy a house, even if I lend it to you, you will slowly repay me when the time comes, not to mention that you and I have been like brothers since childhood, so you don't need to care about money......"
"No, no, no!" Niu Dashi shook his head like a rattle, "Brother Xu has not been in Qinghe Town for a long time, but the fiefdom is so big that someone has to take care of it, there are so many workshops in the town, I ...... I can't rest assured, I'm worried that others won't take care of it well......"
"Do you really think so?" Chen Xu asked in surprise.
"Well, Brother Xu is now the left minister of Daqin, one person is above 10,000 people, except for the emperor, you are the biggest official in the world, we grew up together, your business is my business, but you also know that I am stupid, and I can't help you much when I come to Xianyang, but I am still familiar with Qinghe Town, and I can help you manage the fief well, and in the future, after the birth of my nephew, I will inherit the title of Marquis of Qinghe, everything is fine in the fiefdom, I want money, money, food, and food, and my uncle is not ......in vain."
Niu Dashi's words were sincere, Chen Hu and Chen Jiang were both moved, Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a long time and said: "You have helped me manage Qinghe Town all these years, which has indeed made me a lot easier, but don't worry too much, if you are willing to come to Xianyang, Qinghe Town I will arrange someone to go back to take care of it!" ”
"Brother Xu doesn't need to persuade me, I'm not used to staying in Xianyang, and my mother is not used to it, she has never been far away, Brother Xu taught me to honor my parents, if I come to Xianyang, my mother will definitely be as reluctant to come as Uncle Tiger and Aunt Hu, Xiaochun is still young now, my father is no longer there, I have to take care of my mother and Xiaochun, and when the time comes, I will build a house for Xiaochun to marry a daughter-in-law......"
"It's really hard to be a big stone, sensible and filial!" Chen Jiang's eyes were red when he heard this, and he began to wipe away his tears again.
"Xing'er, didn't you hear Brother Dashi's words!" Chen Xu turned his head to look at Xing'er.
"I heard you!" Apricot nodded unhappily.
"Xing'er, Dad was not at home before, so that you and your brother and your mother suffered a lot, Dashi is right, we don't want to live in Xianyang, Xiaohe Village lives the most relaxed, go back with us, Qinghe Town is your brother's fiefdom, you and Dashi help take care of him and rest assured, and there are so many workshops that make millions of dollars every year, you haven't gone back for two years, now Qinghe Town and Pheasant County have changed greatly, there are cement roads everywhere, and buses are also opened between Qinghe Town and Pheasant County, three times a day in the morning, noon and eveningIt is convenient to come and go, and it is also convenient to Wancheng, you can go back and forth in one day, and the road is also smooth, even if you want to come to Xianyang to play in the future, it will be about ten days......"
"Sister Xing'er, don't worry, after you marry me, if you want to come to Xianyang to play, you can come at any time, I will not stop you!" Niu Dashi also said to Xing'er with a flushed face.
"That'...... Well, when I get back, I'm going to open a girls' school in the town to teach them music, dance, painting, weaving, and embroidery, or it will be boring! Xing'er lowered her head and thought for a long time, but nodded and agreed.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to go back to Qinghe Town tomorrow to arrange, build a big house for you, and by the way, build a girls' school!" Chen Xu stood up happily and said with a smile.
"I knew that my brother was the best for me, so I went to talk to a few sisters-in-law!" Apricot blushed and ran out of the room.
"Okay, this matter is settled, when the house in Qinghe Town is repaired, a wedding will be held for Xing'er and Dashi, Xu'er will go back when he is free, don't force it if he is not free, after all, the country's major affairs are important, so as not to worry the emperor!" Chen Hu also felt that a stone had fallen to the ground, and his whole body was relaxed.
Early the next morning, Chen Xu wrote a letter to the servants to send it to Pheasant County in person, asking Liu Tong to gather people to choose a house with good feng shui in Qinghe Town to build a house of at least 30 acres, and also said that he would arrange craftsmen to go back to guide the installation of tap water and showers, as well as a full set of kitchen and bathroom facilities.
In addition to opening the wedding house of Xing'er and Niu Dashi, a girls' vocational middle school will be built in Qinghe Town, so that Xing'er will have something to do when she goes back.
After staying in Xianyang for so many years, it is no longer possible to let Xing'er go back to farming and raising pigs, when I was a child, I was forced to do it, and now this kind of dirty and tiring labor Chen Jiang himself has not done anything, and occasionally goes to the field to plant some vegetables and fruits, Zuo Xiang's parents, how can they not have the opportunity to do heavy farm work in person, don't say that the domestic servants will not let it, and the villagers of Xiaohe Village and Qinghe Town can't afford to lose that face.
In the next few days, Xing'er went out early and returned late to say goodbye to a group of sisters in Xianyang, and gave each other some gifts, although the mood looked a little lost, but she was not particularly unhappy, and after knowing that she was about to get married, she was shy and began to speak softly at the same time, not as noisy as in the past.
And knowing that Xing'er was going back to get married, Yu Ji was even more lost, following Xing'er behind her like a shadow every day, crying sadly when she slept in the middle of the night, as soon as Xing'er left, she had no playmates to get along with day and night.
"Why don't you follow Sister Xing'er back to Qinghe Town?" Chen Xu called the depressed Yu Ji to him, gently touched her hair and said.
"Sister Xing'er will go back to get married, and she will be Brother Dashi's wife in the future, and I won't marry Brother Dashi, why should I go back?" Yu Ji wiped her tears and shook her head.
"That's what you said, but people always have to grow up, some things always have to change, just like your father, you can't stay with us forever, everyone has things that everyone likes, everyone has a different life for everyone, and when Yu Ji grows up in a few years, she will have to get married when the time comes, and she will leave the Hou Mansion, and she can't be with Brother Xiaoxu from time to time!" Chen Xu nodded with emotion.
"No, I won't leave the Hou Mansion, I want to marry Brother Xiaoxu, this is my father's order, Sister Xing'er doesn't want to go back, but Uncle has set a baby kiss for her, she still has to go back, this is an ancient rule, no one can violate it, otherwise someone will laugh at it......" Yu Ji stubbornly looked at Chen Xu with wide eyes.
Chen Xu couldn't help but beat his heart a few times.
Suddenly, he found that this little girl who gets along almost every day and night is a little different and even a little strange, seven years, the little girl who Yu Wuya picked up from the cold winter of the wind and snow, seems to have grown up all of a sudden, twelve-year-old Yu Ji, is no longer the little girl who was chubby and only knew how to run behind the apricot butt a few years ago, not only the body is well developed and faintly has a little girl's delicateness, a pair of clear eyes have also been a little gentle and shy, although the face is still very immature, but she has her own ideas, has her own cognition, as well as her own stubbornness, these big clear and transparent eyes are the windows of her soul, revealing her persistence that has never changed from beginning to end.
Unjustly, why did Yu Wuya, a big idiot, say that sentence in the first place!
Chen Xu sighed faintly in his heart.
In this ancient era, many people are really just a tendon.
They stick to their promises, they value the honor, and they die for their own pursuit, which is an era of stubborn thinking but extremely individual, and more than 2,000 years later, China is basically not the same race.
But it's going to rain and the mother wants to get married, this matter can only be dealt with slowly in the future, if he marries this little girl, it will make him feel more embarrassed and helpless than marrying Meng Wan at the beginning.
