Xie Yinghui really wanted to ask Huang Yan directly.

was persuaded a few times by her second sister Xie Mulin, and now she wants to open it. Now that Huang Yan already knew what her father Xie Pu was thinking, and expressed a willing attitude, it would not be suitable for her to twist and escape. She should go and talk to him clearly, find out what he thinks in his heart, and confirm whether it is possible for the two to achieve a marriage.

Xie Yinghui has a faint feeling that if she misses this person, even if she can marry a young talent with a good family background in the future, she may not be able to have a smooth life in her life.

Xie Xianzhi, who came back from the study, strongly objected to his sister's plan: "How can this be done?!" How can you talk to a foreign man about such a topic when you are a girl? If you want to ask him anything, I'll say hello for you! I came here today, I also wanted to test Huang Juren to see if he was worthy of his sister! ”

Xie Yinghui said: "Brother, let me go, this is our family's place, you and your second sister are in front of you, what can happen?" I...... I want to talk to him in person, not through people. It was only by talking to him in person that I could see what he really thought. This is my marriage, so let me make up my mind! ”

Xie Xianzhi was dumbfounded, and Xie Mulin had to help persuade him: "Big brother, if you really don't feel at ease, it's a big deal to meet Huang Juren in advance and find out his character?" But I think it makes sense for the eldest sister to want to meet Huang Juren on this side. Don't stop you, in our own place, let's watch from a short distance, what can the eldest sister do if she talks to a foreign man for a while? When I was in my hometown in Huyin, I was still running around dressed as a man. You tolerated it at the time, why didn't you want your eldest sister to see a foreign man in the company of her relatives? ”

Xie Xianzhi was speechless, and couldn't help but reflect on himself.

Xie Yinghui blushed slightly, pulled his sleeve, and said softly, "Brother, I know...... You are reluctant to marry me to a man outside. But don't worry, I'm not a kid anymore, I know what I have to do. I'll take care of myself. ”

Xie Xianzhi's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he sighed: "It's me who is confused." My sister has worked hard for my family, and I also hope that my sister can marry a good husband and have a smooth and safe life. It's just that I'm not familiar with Huang Juren that I'm a little panicked. But thinking about the first acquaintance with Huang Juren that day, his temperament and demeanor are all heartbreaking, and I have no reason to suddenly regard people as disciples because I heard my father's thoughts. My father chose this person for his sister, and he has his own father's reason, and I should believe that my father is. ”

Xie Xianzhi completely calmed down. After thinking about it, he told the Song family that he wanted to see Huang Juren first, and he didn't say that he would let the other party meet his sister, but he just wanted to test what the other party thought about marriage.

Huang Juren lives in the courtyard of a nearby farmhouse. Song and his grandmother are related, see him respectful and polite, but also willing to take care of him, specially let people find him a good residence, is a small courtyard vacant in the village, although there are only three or four rooms, half a kitchen, but the place is quite clean, the house is also seventy or eighty percent new, the owner is an honest and enthusiastic farmer, do a good job, the children in the family are clean and courteous, will not disturb him to study, and even help him run errands to do some small things, earn a few pocket money. Huang Yan lived here for a few days, and felt very satisfied, and he could study here with peace of mind to prepare for the exam until winter came, and then consider going to the city to avoid the cold.

Xie Xianzhi sent someone to invite him to dinner, he changed into neat clothes and went calmly. The two had a light meal in the study in the outer courtyard of the Xie family's small mansion, and drank tea and talked for about half an hour.

During their conversation, Xie Mulin and Xie Yinghui were not present, they were both sitting in the Song family and Xie Meijun's house. The latter fidgeted a little, and looked up at the window several times, as if he wanted to see through the courtyard wall and catch a glimpse of the brother's conversation in the outer courtyard.

Song ignored this from beginning to end, and calmly beckoned the children to eat and drink soup. It was Xie Meijun, seeing that Xie Yinghui had no intention of eating, and said with a joking smile: "Sister Hui, be careful, don't feed the rice into your nose!" ”

Xie Yinghui turned her head in a daze, and subconsciously touched her nose with her hand, as if she really believed that she had indeed fed the rice into her nostrils, and saw that Yang Yuan almost beat the rice bowl, and bent down with a smile.

Xie Mulin couldn't help but smile and nudged his eldest sister: "Auntie is joking with you, eldest sister, you come back to your senses!" ”

Xie Yinghui couldn't wait to bury her head in the rice bowl, her face was flushed, and she pursed her mouth and didn't speak.

Xie Meijun smiled: "What's there to be ashamed of? Who isn't nervous? You are the eldest of the sisters, so you come first. When you settle down on your family, the sisters behind you will have to go through it one by one! Then it's your turn to laugh at them! ”

Yang Yuan hurriedly smiled, and said with a red face: "Cousin Hui, I don't laugh at you, don't laugh at me when the time comes!" ”

Xie Yinghui glanced at her angrily, didn't say anything, and continued to bury her head in eating.

Xie Mulin played a round for her: "Don't laugh, let's hurry up and eat." After eating, it took a while to go to the scene to find out. Otherwise, it's procrastinating, and when the eldest brother finishes talking to someone, we haven't finished eating, and it's impossible to just drop the job and inquire, right?! ”

Yang Yuan immediately picked up the rice bowl and continued to eat. Obviously, she was also curious about the situation in the study, and she was anxious to know what was going on inside!

Xie Meijun watched it funny on the side, and while telling her daughter to eat more slowly, she was careful to choke, while scooping a bowl of soup for her mother Song, and comforting Xie Yinghui by the way: "Don't be nervous, I think that Huang Ziheng is good, and he is very compatible with you." Your eldest brother must be satisfied when he goes to see him. ”

Xie Yinghui seemed to be eating with her head buried in her head, but in fact she was just counting rice grains. She listened to Xie Meijun's words, hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "I heard...... He is related to his second uncle and grandmother? ”

Xie Meijun nodded: "It's a relative, his maternal grandmother is a cousin of my mother's mother's family, and her ancestor is a grandfather." My mother said that they were quite close when they were young. ”

Huangyan Huang Ziheng, whose mother's maiden name is Zhen, is the daughter of a well-known law master in Beiping, and her biological mother was born in the scholarly Song family in Changping County. His maternal grandmother, Zhen Song, and Song are cousins, because his father has been studying in the outer academy for many years, his mother followed to take care of his daily life, and his grandparents died early, so he has lived in his cousin's house since he was a child, and lived with Song for several years. It wasn't until Song Saijiu went to Beijing to take the examination and that Zhen Song's parents returned to their hometown, and the two cousins separated. However, after the Song family went to Beijing, with his father in high school and entered the office, he never returned to Beiping, and he could only correspond with his cousins every year. After she got married, the political situation in the capital changed, and she was ordered by her father to return to her hometown in Huyin with her husband Xie Zechuan to run a school, and the contact with her mother's relatives completely faded.

The Song family only knew that Zhen Song was married to the second son of a famous legal family, the husband and wife were loving, they had both children and daughters, and her husband was also admitted to the exam. But after Xie Zechuan died of illness, she was widowed at home, and rarely sent letters to Beiping, and all the news was heard from her father's family letter. When Song Saijiu died of illness, the communication between the two sides was almost severed.

After Xie Pu was transferred to Beiping, he made some inquiries, and the Song family learned the latest situation of his relatives from his letter. At that time, Zhen Song and his wife had passed away, leaving behind several children and starting their own families. Among them, the daughter Zhen returned to her hometown with her son Fuling after losing her husband, but it was just a passing word in the letter. If it weren't for Huang Yan's visit, the Song family wouldn't know what happened to this niece later!
