Chapter 14 Smile and ask where the guest comes from
"What kind of person is that boy?"
"I don't know, I heard that I came to ask for a kiss!"
"No, ask for a kiss, our miss?"
"Really, dare to come and ask for a kiss, it seems that he is a powerful and intelligent person...... How old is it? β
"Eighteen."
"I think it's that big."
"It's just that the expression is too calm, and I always feel bigger when I look at it."
"Just an ordinary person?"
"I don't know ......"
"Even if he has a future, can he still be compared to Yan Ge Lao's grandson?"
"Is that marriage contract real?"
"The marriage book is naturally true, it seems that it is the descendant of the former Shoufu Xia Yan?"
"How could the old man be ...... back then? To order such a family affair for the young lady? β
"I don't know!"
With the sound of the squeaky door opening, the three doors of the living room of the Xu Mansion slowly opened.
The dazzling sunlight poured into the room from the hollow relief, illuminating all the corners, as well as the bright face of Mrs. Xu and the marriage book she held tightly in her hand.
A group of subordinates, whispering at the door, were hidden by the shadow of the big mulberry tree in the distance, and it was even difficult to spot if you didn't look closely.
Young Lady Xu frowned and walked outside from the silent living room. The precious golden hairpin in the hair and the ring on the body make a pleasant sound.
I saw that the shadows of the big mulberry trees in the courtyard were mottled, there were more than ten rare flowers and plants among the lawns, and the servants and maids who had just been seen on both sides of the stone path disappeared in an instant.
The owner of this mansion is the famous Xu Ge Lao of the Ming Dynasty. Just like his master's name, the people of the house are also very noble.
Mrs. Xu walked through the courtyard, came to the side hall, stopped, and looked at the young man in the hall, with mixed feelings.
The young man was wearing a black shirt that was not gorgeous, with a handsome face, upright eyebrows and eyes, and bright eyes, with an indescribable taste.
And these are not the key, the key is that this young man is Xia Yan's descendant, and the key is that he came to ask for marriage! This made Young Lady Xu frown.
The father has decided to marry his grandson to Yan Donglou's child as a concubine, and at this critical moment, a marriage letter that has been forgotten for thirteen years has resurfaced, which makes people unhappy! It is not a good choice for her daughter to marry Yan Shaoting, after all, the Yan family is popular!
The young lady looked at the tea on the table without a trace of heat, but the young man still looked calm, and did not see the slightest boredom, obviously this young man had a calm and patience that did not match his age.
This is not an ordinary teenager.
Fortunately, this kind of person is often the best to deal with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After entering the Xu Mansion, Xia Mu said a few words to the subordinate, and no one paid attention to him again, and sat in the side hall for a few hours, already a little angry in his heart, obviously this Xu Mansion intended to snub him!
Xia Mu held down his temperament, picked up the tea on the table and dipped his lips slightly dry, only to see that the young lady had arrived, he hurriedly stood up and saluted the gorgeously dressed lady, guessing that the other party was probably Xu Xiyi's mother, that is, his mother-in-law, and hurriedly saluted.
The young lady stretched out her hand to signal that she was not in a hurry, sat down on the main seat, took the tea brought by the steward, looked at Xia Mu with a calm expression and said, "When did you come to the capital, how have you been doing all these years?" Have you ever visited your father to the north, and heard that your grandfather died suddenly on the way......"
Xia Mu frowned, Da Ming Law, the criminal minister who was demoted to the frontier, he couldn't see his family, and thought to himself, what did this young lady mean by deliberately mentioning it? He didn't want to answer, but since it was the elder who spoke, he naturally couldn't miss the courtesy, so he replied respectfully: "I haven't seen it yet." β
The young lady's hand holding the lid of the bowl stopped in the air and continued to ask, "When will you leave?" β
Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, didn't know what his wife meant, and responded: "The kid is not leaving!" β
"I'm not leaving!" The young lady's eyebrows furrowed deeper when she heard this.
Raising her head, she glanced at Xia Mu coldly, thinking that it was ridiculous that the dilapidated young man from the poor countryside actually stayed in the house and didn't leave.
Xia Mu didn't understand what Mrs. meant, but he also had some signs, it seemed that this future mother-in-law was not optimistic about him as a son-in-law!
Mrs. Xu Shao looked at him, and her expression became even more indifferent: "I won't agree to this marriage, even if you have a marriage certificate, it doesn't make sense." β
Xia Mu didn't expect to hear this, and was stunned for a while.
"My father and your grandfather made this marriage many years ago, but your Xia family was not lonely at that time!"
The young lady looked at him with an indifferent expression and continued: "But now...... The glory of your Xia family is no longer there, you are just a down-and-out teenager, and our Xiyi is a famous family, do you think you can be worthy of her? β
Although Xia Mu thought that Xu Fu might not agree to this marriage, if he didn't agree, he would withdraw from the marriage, but he didn't expect this young lady to be so aggressive, and now he listened to this condescending words, looking at the undisguised contempt and indifference between her eyebrows, and suddenly a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart.
"I'll treat this family business as no longer existing." Mrs. Xu looked at the young man in front of her and continued, "I know that you are a smart person and a famous family, I will not withdraw from the marriage in vain, I will naturally compensate you, you should accept it when you see it!" β
Xia Mu smiled bitterly, took back the marriage book, and asked, "Can I ask why?" β
"Why? This is not a question that a smart person should ask. Mrs. Xu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Because you are just an ordinary person!" β
After speaking, she looked at the tea bowl and said with a smile: "This tea is newly shipped from Hangzhou, and you can buy one or two taels of silver, you must have never drunk this tea, it's really unlucky!" β
Although Mrs. Xu's voice was calm, she was domineering, as if she was going to press people into the abyss, and her deliberate persecution made Xia Mu even more uncomfortable!
He really wanted to spit two more spit in front of the wicked woman.
The two were speechless, and the side hall was silent, without any sound.
The young lady just looked at Xia Mu coldly, waiting for the young man's anger.
But Xia Mu's reaction was beyond her expectations.
I saw Xia Mu looking at her and said very calmly: "This marriage, I will not retreat, let alone climb the high branches, by the way, forget to tell you, I am now a Jinyi Wei Liupin Baihu, and I am also an official of the Ming Dynasty." β
As soon as the words came out, the hall was full of silence.
The wind came from the garden, and the blowing doors and windows crackled.
Mrs. Xu smoothed her heaving chest and gasped.
The entire Xu Mansion, at this moment, seemed to have become different.
"What does Da Ming Jinyi Wei mean, you know very well, madam!"
The spring breeze in the house once again became cold because of Xia Mu's words, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
In the dark corner of the gatehouse, several servants trembled significantly when they heard the Da Ming brocade guard.
Mrs. Xu suddenly felt as if she had done something wrong.
Her husband only sued her father Xu Jie for not agreeing to such a family affair, so she was like this, but who knew that the young man was actually Jinyiwei!
She forcibly suppressed the uneasiness that came from nowhere, made her voice as gentle as possible, and said, "Since this is already the case, then ......"
However, she was stunned to find that the boy did not continue to listen to her own words at all.
Xia Mu smiled coldly and walked directly out of the hall.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly stood up, chased two steps, and looked at the figure of the young man who disappeared in the side hall, her face covered with a layer of frost.
She is in a very bad relationship now. She could feel what the young man wanted to convey to herself-this family was married, and the Xu Mansion naturally didn't care about a small six-grade brocade cloth and a hundred households, but after three or five years, who would know if this kid would ascend to the position of the governor of the left and right! Will it be reused by the emperor! He's young after all!
Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly, she suddenly remembered an old saying: Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, it is better to bully the pulsatilla than to bully the poor youth!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xia Mu's footsteps sounded heavy, he was actually angry, just as he was about to turn the courtyard, he suddenly felt a gaze fall on him, turned his head to look, and saw a girl standing at the end of the tree.
The girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, richly dressed and beautiful, was now staring at him from head to toe with dark eyes.
Xia Mu was stunned, could this be Miss Xufu? His fiancΓ©e?
The little girl boldly walked up to him, looked at him with a stern expression and asked, "Are you an ordinary person?" β
Xia Mu was stunned, didn't understand what she meant by ordinary people, and shook his head.
The little girl didn't care, stared into his eyes, and asked very seriously, "Do you and Miss really have a marriage contract?" β
Hearing this, Xia Mu knew that this little girl was not his fiancΓ©e, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"Girl?"
"My name is Chunxiang, and I am Miss's personal ring."
Chunxiang looked at his appearance and was a little annoyed: "You are just an ordinary person, how can you be with my young lady?" It's better to hand over the marriage certificate quickly, otherwise it won't be good for you. β
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xia Mu's mouth: "What if I don't pay it?" β
"Why don't you know what to do!" Chunxiang sighed and looked at the young man's upright eyebrows, and suddenly felt some sympathy for the other party, and said, "If you want to live, don't mention this marriage contract to anyone, otherwise no one will be able to save your life." β
She felt that her young lady was really thinking about this poor boy from the countryside.
Xia Mu felt that he was threatened, he had killed people in the southeast for ten years, and he had not killed anyone, and Zhao Wenhua had died under his knife!
Seeing that Xia Mu was puzzled, Chunxiang hurriedly explained: "If people know that you have a marriage contract with Miss, what will Yan Fu think?" What would Yan Shaoting think? He's a brocade guard, and he can't kill you without moving a finger! β
Yan Shaoting again, Xia Mu was shocked, it seems that Xu Jie really wants to give his granddaughter to Yan Shifan's son as a concubine, he suddenly feels a little sorry for Xu Xiyi, what Yan Shaoting looks like, Xia Mu has already seen it, that is an out-and-out young master, maybe how many women, Xu Xiyi gave Yan Shaoting, the end can be imagined.
On the contrary, Xia Mu felt terrified of Xu Jie's scheming, and in order to be on top, he could actually sacrifice his own granddaughter!
