Chapter 368: Mutual Temptation

The five people in the study talked about speculation, but Xia Ke thought that Mrs. Jiang's sister-in-law was still there, and he knew their attitude towards his daughter very well, so he didn't mention the rest of the topics about the development of new glass technologies.

Xia Zixi deliberately urged Xia Yanqing to hurry back to the backyard, so he asked, "You came very quickly this time, what did you do just now?" Didn't you talk to your aunt? ”

Xia Yanqing didn't have the consciousness that there was an outsider in the room at all, rolled his eyes, and said very unhappily: "It's because I am talking to my aunt that I came so quickly." ”

God knows how hard it was for her to sit in her mother's room just now.

Normally, if she were in her room, she might be resting somewhere. Hearing that her father and brother were looking for her, she had to gather her hair, tidy up her clothes, and then come without hurrying.

But just now, Qiu Wen's reply, it was a life-saver. She blew out of Mrs. Jiang's yard like a gust of wind, and she wondered how she could have such fast legs and feet.

Rao is Xia Zixi's brain turned quickly, and she was also confused by her straightforward answer, "Yan Qing, do you want to say it so directly?" ”

“…… Oh. Xia Yanqing reacted at this time, this kind of thing is not good to say in front of Shao Yi, an outsider. For a while, I was a little embarrassed.

Who knew that Shao Yi was even more invisible, and Xia Zixi's question had not been answered, so he chased after Xia Yanqing and asked, "Why do you come so quickly to accompany your aunt to talk?" But my aunt is embarrassed for you? The concern in his tone was very overstepping.

Xia Ke was shocked by the unruliness of these two people, so he had to cough majestically as a warning.

turned to urge Xia Yanqing to say: "Since the matter has been made clear, Yan Qing will go back." ”

"Uh, okay." Xia Yanqing agreed, and glanced at Shao Yi very complainingly. This guy usually has a very good brain, how could he ask such an idiotic question in front of her father and brother?

Is this her family's family affair?

Shao Yi was already very discerning and stood up first, and repeatedly confessed to Xia Ke: "It's the little nephew, I hope my uncle will forgive me for the rudeness, and I hope my uncle will forgive me." ”

Xia Ke snorted, noncommittal, and turned to Xia Yanqing and said: "My father has already explained to Shao Gongzi, if I have something to discuss with you in the future, I need to go to your two brothers first, accompanied by my brother." Do you hear me? ”

"Oh, well, I hear you clearly." Xia Yanqing didn't hesitate at all.

The little thing about Shao Yi's previous life has been almost said in previous contacts. If you really discuss things, the two brothers are very reliable, and they can say it in front of them.

Even if it will involve the topic of the previous life, you can ask Xia Zitang to accompany her, her fourth brother is very considerate, and she is still quite easy to talk, and it is easy to find a chance to speak alone.

Watching Xia Yanqing leave, Shao Yi was not cramped at all, but explained to Xia Ke more sincerely: "Miss Xia has lived in the countryside for many years, and soon after she came back, she began to do business and set up workshops.

I'm afraid that there are many female relatives in the capital who disagree with Miss Xia's words and deeds. The little nephew was also afraid that Miss Xia would be wronged, so he asked more and more questions, it was indeed rude, and the uncle forgave him, and the little nephew would never dare to do it again in the future. ”

As he spoke, he bowed and saluted.

Such a frank attitude made Xia Ke's serious face unbearable, so he had to soften his tone and said: "Although Yan Qing is doing things outside, he still has to talk about the defense of men and women. You should also pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't let Yan Qing's reputation be damaged because of your carelessness. ”

Shao Yi bowed down again and again to comprehend: "Yes, yes, it was the little nephew who was negligent, and the little nephew must pay more attention in the future and be cautious in his words and deeds." ”

Xia Zitang on the side saw that he was so cautious, he couldn't bear it, he looked at his father's face, and saw that his expression had eased, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit down, while also warning: "You see that you just don't pay attention, I told you a long time ago, it's okay to be close to my little sister." Look, I'm not wrong, you're really careless. ”

"Yes, yes, the fourth brother's previous warning, I have always remembered. It's just that I had a good conversation with my uncle and two brothers today, and I regarded myself as a family a little bit, and I was unconsciously negligent. ”

Xia Zitang still likes to listen to this statement, and the relationship between the two is good. When he was in Hushan a year ago, he regarded Shao Yi as a brother, so he naturally didn't treat him as an outsider, "Well, just pay attention to it in the future." ”

Xia Zixi glanced at Shao Yi, and scolded in his heart: Negligence, this kid is simply testing their bottom line and attitude.

However, with Xia Zitang playing a round, and Shao Yi's performance today is really good, he has added some impression points in front of Xia Ke. At the next dinner, four people at a table also talked about the court situation.

Shao Yi has the memories and experience of the previous life, and has contact with the Xia family in this life, so he has some assessment of Xia Ke's political opinions. Under his deliberate pandering, the four of them spoke quite speculatively, and Xia Ke looked at him differently.

is young, has such an eye for the career and the court situation, and is quite upright, and does not want to speculate in some aspects, only respecting the emperor's order. All of these are very much in line with Xia Ke's mind.

After a short rest after dinner, Xia Zitang sent Shao Yi out.

Xia Zixi watched them walk away before returning to the living room.

Xia Ke motioned for him to sit down, and then asked, "Shao Yi's thoughts about Yan Qing are already obvious, right?" Now that many people are looking for Yan Qing's family affairs, he should be very concerned about this matter, but why didn't he say anything? ”

This question made Xia Ke deeply confused, Shao Yi was so enthusiastic about Qingyunzhai and Xia Yanqing, and the Shao family did not take care of his relatives, plus the question just now, he was interested in Xia Yanqing, and there was no doubt at all

But he didn't come to propose marriage for a long time, and he didn't even make a real verbal temptation, which is unreasonable.

Xia Zixi saw more than Xia Ke, but she also had more doubts, "I thought that Shao Yi was not sure of his little sister's attitude, so he didn't dare to propose marriage rashly, I was afraid that if I was rejected once, I would have no chance in the future." But looking at it today, Xiaomei doesn't seem to treat him as an outsider very much, and she speaks very casually. ”

Shaking his head as he spoke: "This, it's really hard to guess." Is it possible that the emperor is resisting there? ”

"It's possible." Xia Ke nodded subconsciously, he was not very worried about this obstacle.

If Shao Yi is determined to marry, his daughter is determined to marry, and the emperor plans to tie Shao Yi and their Xia family to the chariot of the grandson, then he will have to take care of Shao Yi and the Xia family's emotions.

As for whether he agreed, Xia Ke thought it would be sooner or later.

This matter only depends on how much Shao Yi insists on this matter, if he insists, at most it will be the result of Shao Yi not being recorded in the royal family tree.
