Xu Yirou heard that the people from the Gu family and the Jiang family were coming, so she hurriedly came out to greet her, and when the next person came to report, her second brother Xu Zisheng was talking to her, and when she heard this, she came out to greet her.

Xu Zisheng had seen Gu Sixian and Jiang Xuehe, and when he saw the two younger sisters, he also reacted that those two were Jiang Xuehe's own sisters, but when he saw Jiang Hanxiao, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but look at them twice.

Most of the Jiang family looks good, and so does Jiang Hanxiao, who has just passed the age of Ji Xuan, and his posture is graceful for the first time, with a small face that is very delicate, and there is a bit of stubbornness between his eyebrows. In addition, being dressed up by Jiang Xuehe and others today, compared to the girls from the rich and noble families in the county, they are not bad at all, and even the little face is more attractive.

Xu Zisheng looked at her, thinking of the half-blooming smiling flowers in early summer, and the green fruits on the branches.

Xu Yirou was also a little surprised to see Jiang Hanxiao, she originally thought that Jiang Xuehe's cousin was just an ordinary peasant family, and her appearance and temperament would be slightly worse, but she didn't expect that although the other party was a little stage frightened, her appearance was not bad compared to Chen Yanyan, who claimed to be the first beauty in the county.

"This is your cousin who always helps, right?" Xu Yirou looked at Jiang Han and smiled, and then smiled at Jiang Xuehe, "I don't know what kind of feng shui your Jiang family is, the girls are all so spiritual, they want to make me ashamed of myself." ”

Jiang Hanxiao hurriedly said, "Miss Xu is also good-looking." ”

Xu Yirou smiled and asked, "Is that because I'm good-looking, or is your fourth sister good-looking?" ”

Jiang Hanxiao couldn't help but hesitate, in her opinion, naturally Jiang Xuehe was the most beautiful, and she had never seen a more beautiful girl than Jiang Xuehe. But now that she is a guest at Xu's house, it seems a bit rude to say that the host is not good-looking enough.

Xu Yirou saw her distressed look, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm joking with you, why bother so much?" Don't I know that your fourth sister is the most beautiful? Even in Fucheng, I have never seen anything more beautiful than her. ”

Jiang Han smiled and nodded, thinking that this Xu San girl was very good and very talkative.

"Good sister, what's your name?" Xu Yirou asked again.

Jiang Han smiled and said: "My name is Hanxiao, because the second uncle's smile bloomed when I was born, and the second aunt named me Hanxiao." ”

With a smile, it's a good name. Xu Zisheng looked at the girl in front of him with a smile on her eyebrows as soon as she spoke, and thought to himself that this Jiang Hanxiao was really as good as her name, and today's outfit was also very compatible with her.

"Since they're all here, let's come in." Xu Yirou hugged Gu Sixian's arm affectionately, "I didn't expect you to come so early today." ”

When Xu Yirou walked to the courtyard with Gu Sixian in her arms, she noticed Xu Zisheng's gaze, and couldn't help but be stunned, it was the first time she saw her second brother staring at the girl's house several times. Could it be that her second brother has taken a fancy to Jiang Xuehe's cousin?

She still thought that everyone was just coming to sit and make friends, and it was not a blind date, what kind of insight did she need? didn't expect her second brother to really fall in love with a village girl. She and Jiang Hanxiao are not familiar with each other, and they don't know what kind of style the other party is, but they look good at this appearance and temperament, and they can handle it. If her second brother really likes her, there is nothing to say, but can her mother agree?

That's it, maybe her second brother just hasn't seen such a country girl, so he took a second look? She doesn't need to think too far either.

After the guests arrived one after another, there was a disturbance at the door of the Xu family, and it was Qiao's arrival with his two daughters. Xu Yirou was very unhappy when the next person came, and wanted to come forward to scold the person away, but was stopped by the Gu family.

"Have you forgotten what day it is? Besides, that kind of person is also worthy of your personal appearance? Gu glanced at his daughter, turned his head and called a maid to give a few words, and after a while, the door stopped.

Xu Yirou leaned over and asked curiously, "What did my mother order?" ”

"I'll ask someone to take their mother and daughter to the ear room and wait, and I'll see them when I'm done here." Gu Shi took a sip of tea and said, "This is the jasmine tea made by Xue Niang, it tastes really good." ”

Xu Yirou asked, "Did my mother ask them to guard the home?" I'm afraid that the mother and daughter will sneak out and make trouble. ”

"Naturally, I called, can my mother and I still be able to deal with Qiao's?" Gu smiled disdainfully.

Qiao's was originally a concubine of the county order, because the whole family of the county order was raided, she escaped while the house was raided, but she was caught and sold into slavery, and finally bought by Gu Jiaxing by coincidence. Therefore, Qiao's is literate and has also learned housekeeping, but her background is not high, and her vision is narrow, and Gu has always looked down on her.

Gu's mother's family is also a merchant, and their financial resources are no worse than those of the Xu family, coupled with a large population, a large house of women fighting back and forth, the Gu family has seen a lot, and it is easy to deal with people like Qiao's.

Xu Yirou listened to Gu's words and said happily: "Mother is so smart, you can teach me more in the future." ”

Gu couldn't help but hugged his daughter and sighed: "I just hope that you will never need this, speaking of which, if it weren't for Shi Qigongzi taking the initiative to propose marriage and saying that he would not take a concubine in the future, I would not agree to this marriage." After all, the gap between the two is too big, and I am always afraid that you will suffer in the future. ”

"Did he say he wouldn't take a concubine?" Xu Yirou was very strange, "I haven't seen him either, why did he suddenly propose marriage?" Suddenly made a promise? ”

Gu Shi said: "He said that he had seen you, and I originally doubted if he had other plans, but then I thought that our Xu family couldn't compare to the Shi family at all, so what did he have to do?" ”

Xu Yirou felt that what Gu said was very reasonable, but she really couldn't remember when she had seen that Shi Qigongzi. She did go to Fucheng with her parents, but the Xu family had never dealt with the Shi family before.

Seeing her puzzled, Gu Shi said, "When he comes in a while, you can talk to him yourself." Marriage is such a big thing, after all, you have to be satisfied. ”

Jiang Xuehe, Jiang Hanxiao and others watched the interaction between Xu Yirou's mother and daughter, and they were very envious. Jiang Xuehe thought to herself, her mother was like this to her in the past. Jiang Hanxiao thought that it would be good if her mother had the same attitude when she saw her in the future.

Although her mother loves her, her ears are soft and she has no knowledge, and her father is honest and easy to be deceived, and she must keep an eye on her own future marriage.

Because Xu Yirou was about to get married, and most of the people invited to this small banquet were peers, Gu Shi let go and let her entertain the guests by herself, while she sat on the side and watched her daughter busy with work, feeling a little reluctant. It's just that thinking that the youngest daughter's family affairs are about to be settled, but the second son, who is two years older than her, has not yet settled, Gu's face sank again.

In fact, there is no need to invite so many girls over today, many girls who only have a face-to-face relationship with Xu Yirou Xu Yirou don't want to invite, if it weren't for Xu Zisheng's affairs, the Gu family would not have invited them all over, and asked Xu Zisheng to come out to help entertain.

After Gu Siyan came in, he was led to the courtyard where Xu Zixi lived, and Jiang Xuehe and his daughters sat down according to the seats arranged by Xu Yirou. Xu Yirou has a good relationship with them, and the Xu family and the Gu family are in-laws, so their seats are not far from the Gu family.

Gu didn't expect Jiang Xuehe to bring so many people over, but seeing that Jiang Xuehe's sisters looked very good, and they were dressed very decently today, they looked good but would not steal the limelight from Xu Yirou, so they didn't say anything.

Gu Shi looked at all the girls who came to the courtyard as guests, and she saw that there were several good ones, so she called Xu Zisheng over. When Xu Zisheng walked towards her, he glanced at Jiang Hanxiao, and glanced at it several times.

Gu Shi noticed his gaze and followed his gaze, only to see Jiang Xuehe and Jiang Hanxiao talking and laughing, the sisters were both born beautifully, Jiang Xuehe was more eye-catching, but Jiang Hanxiao was also very attractive. Jiang Xuehe has already been married, and Xu Zisheng is not unfamiliar with him, and it is impossible to keep staring at others, after all, I haven't seen him look at Jiang Xuehe a few times before, so he will fall in love with another?

Although Jiang Hanxiao is dressed up decently, she is just a country girl in the end. Gu Shi felt that he was already very picky, but most of the country girls were illiterate and would not be able to take care of the house in the future! Although it is said that their Xu family will be handed over to the eldest son to inherit in the future, Xu Zisheng does not like to study, he is quite talented in business, and now he is already managing four or five shops, as his daughter-in-law, he can't know anything about this!

"Why did my mother call me over?" Xu Zisheng asked.

Gu Shi smiled: "It's just that I suddenly thought that there are not many male guests here today, so just let your brother entertain you, you sit here and talk to me." ”

As soon as Xu Zisheng heard this, he understood what his mother meant, and said helplessly: "Mother, in fact, I am not very old, so I really don't need to worry." ”

Gu sneered: "You are not in a hurry, but what is it like for your sister to marry before you get married?" Tell me, what exactly are you looking for? ”

Xu Zisheng said with a smile: "I'm not deliberately picky, but I don't feel it when I see it, so I'm naturally reluctant." ”

"And who do you see feeling?" Gu sneered, "That country girl from the Jiang family? ”

"Country girl?" Xu Zisheng then remembered that Jiang Xuehe was from the countryside, although her family's situation was a little special, but her cousin was definitely an authentic countryman, "This doesn't look like it." ”

Gu Shi warned: "My Xu family will never allow illiterate women to enter the door. ”

Xu Zisheng said: "I just looked at other girls a few more times, and my mother thought so long-term." Besides, with such otherworldly cousins, the smiling girl may not be illiterate. ”

In addition to Gu's, there were also other girls who noticed Xu Zisheng's eyes. That girl is Chen Yanyan's cousin, named Chen Yanting, she fell in love with Xu Zisheng early on, and the Chen family hinted to the Xu family many times, but Xu Zisheng didn't nod, and the Gu family couldn't do anything about him.

Chen Yanting has seen Jiang Xuehe and knows that she is just a pastry and wine seller, she is still from the countryside, and she never takes her seriously. Now seeing that Xu Zisheng frequently glanced at the girl beside Jiang Xuehe several times, and the girl and Jiang Xuehe were similar to each other, he guessed that the girl was Jiang Xuehe's sister.

Chen Yanting was very unconvinced by this, thinking that she was just a country girl, and she also deserved the attention of Second Young Master Xu?
