Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "When I have the opportunity, I will definitely take you with me." Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's promise, Xia Tingyun smiled and grabbed his arm, looking quite affectionate, and seeing the two so affectionate, Xia Tingwei's heart hurt for no reason.

Not noticing the change in Xia Tingwei's mood, Fang Xiaoyu sat there and introduced his feelings: "I have been floating on the sea for the past two years, and I am a little uncomfortable when I return to land. But fortunately, we went on a naval supply ship, which was a large ship with a steam engine, which was not only very stable, but also had no pirates who dared to attack us. Xia Tingwei answered: "I heard that you were kicked out of the staff by your grandfather, is it true?" Xia Tingyun was surprised: "There is such a thing? I'll go to my grandfather and intercede for you. Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "No need, it's good for me to go to the army to exercise like this, you see that I am much stronger now than before." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly, now that he was going to be a lord, it was a secret, and he didn't dare to say the true purpose of Marshal Xia Jun. Xia Tingyun glanced at him and said, "I haven't seen how strong you are after going for so long, but it's a lot darker." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Of course, I have been blowing on the sea for so long, and I have been training in the army." Xia Tingwei frowned slightly and said, "Is it very bitter in the barracks, or let grandpa change it." ”

Fang Xiaoyu saw that the second daughter was about to mention what happened just now, and quickly changed the topic: "I'm not in a hurry to transfer, I'm also fine in the barracks, but haven't you been to my eldest brother's ready-to-wear shop recently?" When I came back, I drew a lot of patterns for my eldest brother, all of whom were new clothes. Fang Xiaoyu didn't say the rest of the words, many of the clothes he drew were low-cut clothes, and he was afraid that saying it would make the second daughter shy. Hearing Fang Xiaoyu talk about clothes, the two women were really diverted, they chattered in front of Fang Xiaoyu about the materials and styles of various clothes, and Fang Xiaoyu heard Fang Xiaoyu's head grow for a while, secretly scolding himself for being stupid, and women will be fashionable clothes This is not looking for bad luck.

This shopping and buying clothes is really an artifact to deal with women, the three of them chatted for a long time, and Fang Xiaoyu already regretted very much that he had just shifted the topic to clothes. Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu didn't speak for a long time, Xia Tingwei suddenly stopped chatting with her sister, turned her head and said to Fang Xiaoyu: "Let's eat at my house today, my mother has been talking about you lately." ”

After saying that, Xia Tingwei regretted it a little, and secretly scolded herself for being a little reckless, she didn't dare to see Fang Xiaoyu again with a blush. Unlike his sister and Fang Xiaoyu, who have a verbal agreement approved by both parents, because of the relationship between his sister, I am afraid that I will not have a chance with him in this life, thinking of this, Xia Tingwei felt bitter in her heart, and her face turned a little pale.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't see Xia Tingwei's face, he considered whether he should stay, and he was still a little hesitant to eat at Xia's house Fang Xiaoyu. Although Fang Xiaoyu has lived two lives, he has never been in love, and when he sees such a thing as his parents, he is a little stunned when he thinks about it.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't see it, it didn't mean that Xia Tingyun didn't see it, when she found that Xia Tingwei's face was not good, she said with concern: "Sister, why is your face so bad?" Isn't it uncomfortable? Xia Tingwei shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I'll just take a break." Hearing Xia Tingyun's words, Fang Xiaoyu raised his head and found a problem: "Do you need to find a doctor?" Xia Tingwei said: "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly feel a little dizzy, just rest for a while." After resting for a while, seeing Xia Tingwei's face turn rosy again, Fang Xiaoyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have to pay attention to your body, if there is any disease, you must treat it as soon as possible, otherwise I will call you a doctor." Fang Xiaoyu said with concern. "Bah, you're sick, don't curse my sister." Xia Tingyun glared at Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, I'm just caring, just caring." Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's concerned words, Xia Tingwei couldn't tell whether it was bitter or sweet.

Dinner was naturally eaten at Xia's house, and Fang Xiaoyu, who was sitting on pins and needles, always felt that Liu Aiping was looking at him. I haven't seen him for a few years, Xia Tingyun has also made a lot of intimacy with him, and she has been serving him vegetables one by one, Liu Aiping also asked this and that, only Xia Tingwei ate silently without saying a word. Seeing Xia Tingwei with her head down, Liu Aiping said with concern: "Wei'er, what's wrong, are you uncomfortable?" Xia Tingwei raised her head and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, I'm a little dizzy, I'll go back and take a rest." Liu Aiping looked at Fang Xiaoyu with meaningful eyes, then looked at her two daughters and said, "Then go back and rest first." ”

Looking at Xia Tingwei's distant back, Liu Aiping sighed, the so-called knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, how could she not know her daughter's thoughts, but unfortunately Fang Xiaoyu and Xia Tingyun's marriage contract was personally made by Xia Jun and Fang Rui, and it could not be changed at all, not to mention that Xia Tingwei was two years older than Fang Xiaoyu, even if she wanted to change the Fang family, she might not agree.

Liu Aiping looked at Xia Tingyun again, who was trying to pick up vegetables for Fang Xiaoyu, it seemed that the youngest daughter also liked Fang Xiaoyu very much, this matter was really difficult to do, and Fang Xiaoyu was so good. Although he was optimistic about him back then, he didn't expect him to rise so quickly, he had just done such a big career in his teens, and now it is really difficult to provoke his two daughters to fall in love with him.

After a few people finished eating, Fang Xiaoyu drank tea, and Liu Aiping said: "Xiaoyu, I am going to discuss with your mother that the marriage of the two of you will be finalized this year." Fang Xiaoyu just took a sip of tea, and when he heard Liu Aiping's words, he choked the water into his trachea, causing Fang Xiaoyu to cough constantly. Xia Tingyun, who is usually more lively, also blushed when she heard her mother's words, and said coquettishly: "Mother, in front of me, how can you say this, I ignore you." Then she got up in shame and ran away.

Fang Xiaoyu, who finally relieved his breath, said: "Aunt Ping, this seems to be too fast." Liu Aiping said: "You are almost fourteen years old, are you still young?" Besides, it's just to get you engaged, not to get married. Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Okay, go back and discuss it with our family." Fang Xiaoyu, who had never encountered this matter, didn't know what to say, and he also secretly said in his heart that this person who looked at the hometown star was really precocious, and those who got married at the age of thirteen abounded, and he was already late. Liu Aiping glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Wei'er, what are you going to do?" ”

"Huh?" Fang Xiaoyu was defenseless in his thoughts, and was stunned for a while. Liu Aiping sighed and said: "I understand Wei'er's thoughts, in fact, she likes you very much like Yun'er, this palm is also meat, and the back of the hand is also meat, which really makes me embarrassed." Looking at Liu Aiping, who sighed, Fang Xiaoyu wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. Liu Aiping said: "If you have the opportunity, help me persuade Wei'er, after all, she is still young, and she will meet someone she likes." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said vaguely: "I will try to persuade her when I have time." Somehow, when he promised Liu Aiping, there was also a faint pain in his heart.

At this time, Xia Ziqing walked in, and he saluted Liu Aiping and said, "Auntie, grandpa wants to ask if you have finished eating." If he finished eating, the eldest grandfather wanted to invite Fang Xiaoyu to go. Liu Aiping nodded and said to Xiaoyu: "Since that's the case, you can go." Fang Xiaoyu, who was sitting here extremely embarrassed, was pardoned, and hurriedly saluted Liu Aiping, and left with Xia Ziqing.

Walking out of the restaurant, Fang Xiaoyu let out a sigh of relief, this matter is really troublesome, it would be nice if you wanted both. He turned to Xia Ziqing and said, "Why do you call Aunt Ping?" Xia Ziqing explained with a smile: "Because I am also a member of the Xia family, our Xia family is different from your Fang family, your Fang family has a small population, and it is nothing if they all live together." Our Xia family is a big family, with complex side branches and a large population, so we all live separately, and only the direct main family can live in the Xia Mansion. Like me, I belong to the side branch, but our family's blood relationship is relatively close to the main family, and my grandfather is Marshal Xia's brother, so I naturally want to call Mrs. an aunt. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded secretly, he had always wondered how the big family of hundreds of years was so small, it turned out that this was only the main family, and there were many side branches. Fang Xiaoyu asked, "How many people are there in the side branches of the Xia family?" Xia Ziqing said: "This is too much, even if you don't have five generations of blood, I'm afraid there are more than 3,000 people, if you count it from the beginning of the country, I'm afraid it's more than 50,000." Fang Xiaoyu was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, oh my God, this is 50,000, his family is only a few dozen mouths, this big family really needs time to accumulate.

The two of them arrived at Marshal Xia Jun's study while talking, and Xia Ziqing naturally didn't dare to go in without the marshal's summons, so he could only wait outside the door, and Fang Xiaoyu approached Xia Jun's study by himself. Walking into the study, Xia Jun was wearing reading glasses and looking at a military map on the wall, which was a topographic map of the northern border of the Lanfang Empire with a ratio of 500,000 to 1. Fang Xiaoyu walked into the room, and Xia Jun said without looking back: "You're here." ”
