Chapter 18: Less Loneliness
After sending the Xia brothers away, Wang Tao returned to the living room, muttered for a while, and suddenly looked up and asked Wang Xi, "Have you been resting in the Xu family's room for the past few days?" β
Wang Xi followed Wang Tao back, originally going to hear what he thought of the Xia family brothers' trip, but seeing that the elder brother had been silent and was thinking about opening his mouth to ask, he couldn't help but be stunned by Wang Tao's question, and rushed out: "Yes." β
After subconsciously answering, I felt that it was wrong, the matter in my brother's room, the eldest brother is not easy to ask, right?
Wang Tao was a little annoyed, frowned and said, "Why do you not know the depth so much?" Anyway, the Xia family is your main room, and you are newly married, how can you be so cold to her? Even if her mother had promised to give the Xu family decency, she couldn't be above the Xia family. β
"I ......" Wang Xi's mind turned around several times, and after all, he didn't tell the truth, he just avoided the important and said lightly: "Big brother, don't worry, the Xia family won't make trouble." The day before I returned home, I showed one of Qinghui's paintings to Xia, and after she saw it, she decided to learn calligraphy and painting, and threatened to surpass Qinghui before she would become my wife. β
Saying that, Wang Xi sneered: "Aren't I waiting for her to succeed in her studies?" As she said, until her calligraphy and painting level did not surpass Qinghui, I didn't have to go to her room to stay overnight. β
"Nonsense!" Wang Tao's head was as big as a fight, and he opened his mouth to reprimand, "Xia went to learn her calligraphy and painting, can you go to her room and still hinder her?" Did you induce her to say that? Today, Xia Zixi's speech is not good, he is young, he can run a place in Yunshan Academy, it can be seen that in addition to being knowledgeable, he is also scheming, you don't play your little cleverness in front of him. β
"Besides, how can you believe the woman's words, if he refuses to admit that he said this, or only deduces that it is a joke, what should you do?!"
Wang Tao felt that he had a headache, his second brother was okay with people in the past, how could he be so naΓ―ve when dealing with family affairs?
The trouble is that my mother is not good at dealing with things in the back house. He is a big brother, and he doesn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of his brother's room...... Alas, let's let Yuan talk more about him and Xu.
Wang Xi was still arguing freely: "Big brother, I have already told the Xia family about this matter, why bother to make another move and drill into her room again?" said that when she succeeds in calligraphy and painting, we will be a couple with comparable talents. Before there was a shadow of the matter, I took the initiative to find Xia's room...... This is too ugly, isn't it? β
If the Xia clan is a heavenly immortal, it would be fine, and he would not be wronged to bear this reputation of being in a hurry. But Xia's dignity made him anxious to stick it, how could he stand it?
Wang Tao glared at the second brother, and he didn't know how to say these two stupid people.
The second brother is okay, he really doesn't like Xia's, so he came up with such an idea, although he took care of one or the other, but it was understandable.
But that Xia, she is too whimsical. Xu started babbling and almost opened his eyes, and his father was reading and practicing calligraphy, reciting poetry and painting. When he grew up, Xu was carefully taught by Mr. Xu, and after more than ten years of immersion, where is an adult. Can a woman who has never been exposed to any of these be compared?
She also didn't want to think about it, if she couldn't learn in her life, wouldn't she have ruined her life?
"Don't talk to me so much, we are married to the Xia family, not enmity. No matter what the reason, you can't spoil the Xu family, let alone leave the Xia family aside, annoying Lord Xia and the Xia brothers. You'll do the rest! Wang Tao dropped a sentence and left.
Wang Xi chased Wang Tao's back and shouted: "Then I can appease the Xia family and coax her to be happy?" β
Wang Tao paused, didn't answer again, and strode away.
Watching Wang Tao leave, Wang Xi thought about it, looking at the paused footsteps of the eldest brother just now, he should have heard his last words. In other words, as long as he can coax the Xia family, the eldest brother shouldn't interfere with anything else, right?
Knowing in his heart, Wang Xi did a solid psychological construction before going to Qiuyue Garden.
For now, I can only appease the Xia family again. As for the future, let's take one step at a time, unless it is absolutely necessary, he really doesn't want to let an ugly girl who covets him and has no virtue or talent get involved.
"Huh? My brother is here? Xia Yanqing has a good impression of Xia Zixi's brothers and her sister's care, and she is so happy that she forgets her self-proclaimed name these days.
"Where? I'll see you. β
"The two uncles have come to inform me that the female gentleman invited by the Yue family for the lady will arrive tomorrow, and he will leave after saying something." Wang Xi saw Xia Yanqing's face showing disappointment, and added, "When the two uncles were leaving, they told me and my eldest brother to treat our lady well. β
Wang Xi sat on the chair outside, looking at Xia Yanqing's expression as he spoke. pondering how she could once again strengthen her determination to study calligraphy and painting and surpass Xu Qinghui.
"Tomorrow? The female gentleman can teach tomorrow, right? Although Xia Yanqing was a little disappointed that he didn't see his brother, he was a happy event that Mr. would be able to start teaching tomorrow.
She has been reading books for the past few days, for fear that she will read too seriously and expose her feet. It's different with a husband, she can pretend to be a genius and learn quickly.
Then, you can read books for recreation.
She chatted with a few girls, and also searched for the memories of Xia Xiaoniang. In this era, although there are no very systematic novels, there are storytellers. In other words, as long as she knows words, she must have a book to read. It's really not good, the history books of the book, the biography, and the chronicle of the gods and horses can also be talked about as a pastime.
More importantly, she has to find the foundation in this world that can allow her to live in peace. No matter what era, it is better to rely on others than on yourself, only if you have a deep foundation, you will not live aggrieved under the low eaves.
Speaking of which, the days of the queen house are really not people's lives. She was newly married, couldn't go out, couldn't read, couldn't do needlework, had nothing to do all day, and wandered in the small backyard of the Wang family. When wandering, you have to hide from Xu Qinghui, Yuan and others, so as not to have bloody dramas such as house fights, which is really hard.
Wang Xi secretly despised Xia Yanqing's desire: did she think it was easy to do learning? It is true that there are many students who study hard, but there are many more who are afraid of studying hard and are tired and procrastinating. Otherwise, how can a scholar become a master?
"Yes, you should prepare well here, and when Mr. Tomorrow comes, you will be able to officially teach."
Thinking of what his brother said, as well as Xia Zixi's attention to his only sister, Wang Xi once again finalized with Xia Yanqing, "Lady, you have to be prepared, reading is a chore, otherwise, there is no such thing as everything is inferior, only reading is high." I was afraid that the lady would be afraid of studying hard, so I retreated within a few days. If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll never be as good as Aunt Xu. β
Wang Xi spoke, glancing at Mama Li and the girl who were waiting beside him. The girl named Xinxiu didn't react much, but there was some doubt in Mama Li's eyes.
Xia Yan Qingyuan was also strange, but it was just a matter of asking her to ask for a husband, where was the need for the two brothers of the Xia family to come over. At this time, when she heard Wang Xi's words, she understood, she was afraid that Xia Zixi and the others would come, and they would say something else.
Perhaps, the two of them knocked on the side and mentioned her situation and treatment in the Wang family, which alerted the Wang family.
Thinking like this, Xia Yanqing felt a lot less lonely when he came here. It feels really good that my mother's family is powerful, although Xia Zixi's visit has added a little trouble to her plan.
