Chapter Seventy-Seven: Bad News
"Mother, don't listen to Yiran's nonsense, we just brought some meat in the wild and roasted it, and it is probably the reason why Yiran has never eaten like this, so I think it is very delicious, but it doesn't taste very good!"
Shuxuan was cheated by Liu Yiran, and hurriedly explained to Mrs. Liu.
"Not really! My sister's barbecue meat is delicious, I can't eat enough, if my sister didn't let me eat it, I can still eat a lot! ”
Liu Yiran didn't seem to feel Shuxuan's thoughts, and was still talking with his eyebrows fluttering.
"Yiran, what did you say?"
Shu Xuan saw that this pit sister's guy was still there and continued to talk, and couldn't help but say to Liu Yiran in a calm voice.
"Sister, I..."
Liu Yiran was startled by Shu Xuan's voice, and when he turned around, he saw Shu Xuan's slightly warning eyes, so frightened that he quickly stopped talking, covered his mouth with his hand, and pretended to look at Shu Xuan with an innocent look.
"Mother, I suddenly feel a little tired, I'll go back and rest first! I'll go first! ”
After speaking, Liu Yiran ran ran away quickly.
"Hey! This kid! Slow down, beware of falling! ”
Mrs. Liu looked at his disappearing back, shook her head with a smile, and turned to Shu Xuan and said, "Xuanxuan, you can make food, this is not a bad thing!" Why do you have to hide it? ”
"Mother, where will I do anything to eat! It's just that some of the barbecue methods seen from the book before, when I took my younger brother to Zhuangzi this time, I suddenly remembered it and took him out to eat once. You also know that he loves meat on a daily basis, and this is a new method that he has never eaten before, of course he will find it novel! I was afraid that he would eat too much and not digest it, so I let him eat a little less, who knows if he still thinks about it! ”
Shuxuan explained to Mrs. Liu.
"That's okay! Why don't you let Ran'er say it? ”
"It's not because barbecue is so easy! Just put it on the fire and sprinkle it with spices, it's very simple. And I can't do anything other than this, if my brother's words are spread out to others, then I won't know anything, how embarrassing it is! ”
Shuxuan said with a pretended embarrassment.
"You! It's just that there are a lot of thoughts, let's talk about it here, and who knows! ”
Mrs. Liu lightly nodded Shuxuan's forehead and said, "Since you are afraid that someone will laugh at you, then you should learn to make some snacks!" You're so smart and believe it will happen soon. When you learn it, see who can say what! ”
"Mother, I don't want to learn! It's hot and stuffy in the kitchen, it's hard to stay in, and the smoke is so big, it's very harmful to the skin! What if your daughter becomes ugly then? ”
Shuxuan was coquettish to Mrs. Liu, for fear that Mrs. Liu would let herself learn cooking with a brain pump.
"Good! If you don't learn, you won't learn! I didn't say anything! ”
Mrs. Liu said to Shuxuan.
"Mother, when I came back just now, I saw Aunt Su and Cousin Qingran outside, but Cousin Qingran seemed to be very lost, and Aunt Su was not very happy, did something happen to them?"
Shuxuan didn't want to talk about cooking anymore, so she wanted to say something casually to divert the topic, and suddenly thought of Su Qingran's mother and son she saw on the way home, and couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Hey! That's pitiful! ”
Mrs. Liu sighed and said slowly.
"Didn't your cousin Qingran take the township test before? Now the results are out, and we have won the first place, and this time I came to the capital to report good news to us. ”
"Cousin has solved the yuan? Isn't that a good thing? Why was he so disappointed? ”
Shuxuan was a little puzzled.
"Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly! This should indeed be a happy thing, but he came not only to report the good news this time, but also to propose marriage to Shuqi. ”
"Propose? Cousin and third sister? ”
I was a little shocked when I heard this Shuxuan, when Su Qingran lived in the mansion before, I didn't see much contact between the two? Why did it suddenly come to the point of marriage?
"Yes! It is said that Mrs. Su said before Su Qingran participated in the township examination, and after he passed the examination, the two would be married, and Su Qingran would be able to participate in the examination in two years, and then come back to officially marry your third sister when he was in high school. Your grandmother knows about that, too. ”
"That's a good thing! Is there something wrong? Could it be that grandma repented? Rejected this family business? ”
"How could you refuse! This is a good thing that has been said a long time ago, and besides, Su Qingran, a child who has been smart since he was a child, studies very hard, and is very sure of the exam, but your Aunt Su is worried that he will not be able to bear it, so she asked him to wait for the next round to take the exam. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu stopped, paused for a moment before continuing.
"But just a few days ago, your father was appreciated by the emperor for his errand in the court, and the emperor specially issued an order to let our whole family enter the Han army banner. This is the family of the Han Army Banner, the woman's marriage cannot be decided independently, she must participate in the draft first, and only if she loses the election can she marry freely, so the matter between your cousin and Shuqi is also yellow! ”
"Huh? Han Army Flag? Draft? ”
Shu Xuan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she exclaimed.
"I'll go! What the hell is this Kangxi doing? What do you do with the Jialiu family entering the Han Army Banner? Brains are in water! ”
"Yes! Just pity them! In the past few years, with the acquiescence of Mrs. Su and them, these two people have also had some feelings between them, and now that they have been disturbed by this matter, these two children don't know how sad they will be! ”
Mrs. Liu said regretfully.
"Mother, that's not right! Although this is going to participate in the draft, it may not be selected! Besides, our family background is average, and the probability of losing the election is also high, so we can make an agreement now, and then discuss the marriage when we lose the election in the future! ”
Shu Xuan looked at it with some confusion
Mrs. Liu didn't understand why they gave up on the marriage like this.
That being said, who can say for sure what will happen in the future! If you wait a few more years, in case your third sister is favored by someone and is assigned to marry by the emperor, wouldn't this delay Su Qingran in vain? ”
Shuxuan thinks about it, people in this era generally get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, if you wait until Shuqi is drafted, then Su Qingran will be sixteen years old by then, and it will not be so appropriate to talk about kissing at that time.
This Qing Dynasty is really troublesome!
This Kangxi is really! What kind of Han army flag should you join! Everyone has to participate in the draft, otherwise no one is allowed, isn't this a clear toss of people?
Thinking that she was going to participate in the draft in the future, Shuxuan felt a sense of estrangement in her heart, standing there like a cargo and being selected, is this the treatment that people should have?
However, it is not easy to be selected, but it should be quite simple to lose the selection! As long as you make some silver, wouldn't Liu Wenhao think of this? Or is he having some crooked idea?
