Chapter 526: The Best of Both Worlds?
"What do you have a solution?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Ha'er's inexplicable words, and then asked with a puzzled expression. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The best of both worlds!" Ha'er said in a low voice with a natural face, and after speaking, she secretly looked at the Guanghua County Lord not far away.
"What's the best of both worlds, what the hell are you talking about, little girl?" Li Xiu still asked puzzled, not because he had poor comprehension, but because as soon as he came back, he said that there was a way, but Li Xiu didn't even know what the problem was, so naturally he couldn't guess what her solution was?
"Sir, why are you confused, my mother and I recognize each other, my father-in-law must be very painful, but if I don't recognize each other, my mother will definitely not want to, but I have a way to satisfy both my mother and my father-in-law!" Ha'er patiently explained to Li Xiu at this time.
"How is this possible, and you have already recognized your mother, although Uncle Ma didn't say anything, but I can see that he is also very disappointed, I didn't dare to disturb him yesterday, and I am preparing to comfort him today, in this situation, how can there be any way to get the best of both worlds?" At this time, Li Xiu glanced at Ha'er and said, it's not that he doesn't believe Ha'er, but even he doesn't have any way to do it.
"Why not, just because Mr. can't think of it doesn't mean I can't think of it!" At this time, Ha'er puffed up her small chest and said proudly, it seemed that she was quite confident in her own methods.
"Oh? Tell me, what's your best of both worlds? Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw the appearance of Hate'er, and asked with a smile at the moment.
"It's easy!" When Ha'er said this, she secretly glanced at the county lord of Guanghua again, and then whispered in Li Xiu's ear, "Wouldn't it be enough for my mother to marry my father-in-law, so that I will become the daughter of the two of them, and even the surname can be changed to a horse openly!" ”
Li Xiu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard Ha'er's words, he thought that Ha'er had some high opinions, but he didn't expect it to be this so-called "method", but is it possible, the county lord of Guanghua and Ma Ye only met yesterday, and there is no emotional foundation between them at all, even if it is forcibly combined, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure that there will be no problems after marriage.
"Hate, marriage is not child's play, don't mess around, and your mother and Uncle Ma don't have any emotional foundation, how can you get married casually?" Li Xiu reprimanded Ha'er with a straight face, wanting to dispel her nonsense.
"My father-in-law and my mother have just met, and it's normal to have no emotional foundation, but feelings can also be cultivated slowly, as long as I create more opportunities for them, I believe my mother will definitely like my father-in-law!" But Ha'er's eyes lit up and he spoke again, as if he admired his genius-like ideas.
"But...... But the two of them don't match their age, right, Uncle Ma seems to be a lot older than your mother? Li Xiu said helplessly again at this time, he always felt that this method of hating was very unreliable.
"It's not much, it's only twelve or thirteen years old, and it's normal for men to be older in marriage, I see many old men with gray hair, their wives may be younger than their children, so it's nothing at all, it just so happens that my stepfather has never been married, and my mother is also a good match, if I can match them, even my grandmother will not object!" Ha'er said excitedly again.
Although Ma Ye used to be the house slave of Princess Pingyang, he was also a general of the imperial court, and later he had a hate, in order to have a good background in hate, so Ma Ye asked Princess Pingyang to relieve him of his slave status, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, although he was relieved of Ma Ye's position, but in order to appease Ma Ye, by the way, he showed favor to Princess Pingyang, so Ma Ye was named Jingguo Gong, although this title is not as prominent as Li Xiu's Yan Guogong, but it is also very comparable, and it is also suitable for the county lord of Guanghua.
"Isn't that a little whimsical of yours?" Li Xiu pondered for a while, but in the end he still didn't quite believe in this method of hating.
"Sir, if you don't believe it, I'll go to Qi Niang to discuss!" Seeing that Li Xiu still didn't believe in his own method, he was also a little angry, and he was about to discuss with his best friend Qi Niang as soon as he stomped his feet, which made Li Xiu feel even more crying and laughing, Qi Niang was still a child, if she participated, I am afraid that this method would become even more unreliable.
"Hate, let me see your bracelet!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw Princess Pingyang saying to Ha'er with great interest.
"What bracelet?" Li Xiu asked a little strangely when he heard this.
"That's it, my grandmother gave it to me!" At this time, Ha'er stretched out her arm and smiled, only to see that on her white wrist, she was wearing a pair of extremely warm white jade bracelets, which had no impurities in the whole body, and looked extremely valuable.
"What a beautiful bracelet!" Li Xiu couldn't help but praise this pair of bracelets when he saw them, but he was a little strange at this time, although this pair of bracelets was valuable, how could Princess Pingyang be so interested?
"Sure enough, it was the pair that my grandmother gave to my aunt, and my mother was red for a long time!" When Princess Pingyang saw the bracelet on her hand, she also praised it at the moment, and at the same time her eyes also showed a look of memory, which also made Li Xiu next to her show a clear look, it turned out that Princess Pingyang didn't care about the bracelet, but remembered her mother's old things through the bracelet. In addition, the eldest princess of Tong'an gave such a commemorative bracelet to Hate'er, which is enough to show her love for Hate'er.
"Mother, aunt, I'm going to find Qi Niang!" Ha'er let Princess Pingyang see her bracelet, said hello and ran away.
Princess Pingyang accompanied the county lord of Guanghua, and Li Xiu was not good at staying all the time, so he also got up to say goodbye, planning to go to the front yard to chat with Ma Ye, but when he came to the courtyard where Ma Ye lived, he knew that Ma Ye went out early in the morning with a fishing rod, probably to go fishing by the river.
Originally, fishing was a good thing, which could calm people's moods, but Li Xiu sighed secretly when he heard this, and then took his fishing rod and walked to the bank of the Yellow Canal outside.
"Uncle Ma, why are you so interested in fishing today?" Li Xiu looked at Ma Ye's back and sighed, and then forced himself to pretend to be a smile and stepped forward and sat down, this year's winter is warmer than in previous years, and there is only a thin layer of ice on the river surface of the Yellow Canal, and now Ma Ye has smashed a big hole, and the fish made of goose feathers floats on the water, and there is no fish on the bait for the time being.
"When I have nothing to do, I think I haven't fished for a long time, so I'll try my luck!" Ma Ye didn't raise his head at this time, but just from his tone, he could hear a little depression.
Li Xiu sighed again when he heard this, Ma Ye used to like fishing very much, and the two often came here to fish together, but since Ma Ye found Hate'er, he suddenly had a goal in his life, and since then, he has been busy buying dowries for Hate'er, and has never fished with Li Xiu again, but today he suddenly came here, obviously he lost the motivation to fight again.
At that moment, Li Xiu hung up the bait, threw the hook into the water with his hand, and then spoke again: "Uncle Ma, Ha'er came back this morning, don't you go to see her?" ”
"Don't worry, although Ha'er is not the daughter of my Ma family, I have always treated her as my own daughter, this will not change, but I am still a little uncomfortable now, and I need a little time to accept this matter!" Ma Ye finally raised his head at this time and glanced at Li Xiu, and then looked at the fish float on the river again.
At this time, Li Xiu also realized that although he had only been seen for one night, Ma Ye was much haggard, and even seemed to have aged a lot overnight, which made Li Xiu also smile bitterly, and he didn't know what to say for a while?
At the moment, Li Xiu accompanied Ma Ye to catch fish for a while, but the luck of the two of them today was not very good, and after sitting for a long time, a fish was not hooked, but was chilled by the oncoming cold wind, and finally Li Xiu simply opened the food box he brought, took out a few side dishes, and a pot of good wine and said: "Uncle Ma, it's still a little cold this day, why don't I come and drink a few glasses with you, and you can also warm up?" ”
Hearing Li Xiu's suggestion, Ma Ye finally put the fishing rod away, and then sat opposite Li Xiu, but at this time he glanced at Li Xiu and said, "Haven't you kid never liked to drink, why did you break your vows today?" ”
"Hehe, Uncle Ma, you are in a bad mood, it is easy to get drunk when you drink alone, and I should accompany you to drink two glasses as a junior!" Li Xiu smiled at this time, and poured wine for Ma Ye and himself as he spoke.
In the face of Li Xiu's kindness, Ma Ye was not easy to refuse, so he picked up the wine glass and touched it with Li Xiu, and then drank it all, and when the hot wine went down, although Li Xiu felt uncomfortable burning in his stomach, his body was indeed warmer.
"Uncle Ma, yesterday I discussed with the princess, if you want, it is better to have a stepchild, if you can't trust others, why don't you choose my son to pass by, and let him be surnamed Ma in the future?" Li Xiu finally made this proposal to Ma Ye at this time, since Ma Ye couldn't have children, he could only think of this way now.
"Hehe, no need, you are my son and nephew, if your son succeeds me, won't it be your brother, there are too many bifurcations in this generation, and I don't want to spend that thought anymore!" Ma Ye showed a rare smile at this time, and then said a little lonely, "Maybe it's the will of God, it's time for our old Ma family to follow, and the so-called providence cannot be violated, so forget about this matter." ”
After Ma Ye finished speaking, he drank a big sip of wine again, maybe he was too anxious, he coughed, and his face turned red, Li Xiu hurriedly stood up and patted him on the back, and at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly saw that Hate Er was pulling his mother Guanghua County Lord to this side, it seems that this little girl really started to act!
