Shao Yi's trip to Beijing this time was not something important that needed to be kept secret, so before leaving, he also gave Shao's mother a rough explanation of the reason for this trip.

If you want to say that in the past, Shao Yi was rampant in the capital, and Shao's mother was actually not very worried. Although it often happens that others or are beaten by others, the nose is blue and the face is swollen. But there were no vicious incidents, not even broken arms and legs.

But in the past few days, it has been rumored that Shao Yi's mining area treats miners harshly, causing dissatisfaction among the surrounding villages, and even faint signs of riots, which makes her very uneasy.

At this time, listening to Shao Yi's understatement and explanation, it seems that the matter is not serious. And just because he can come out of the palace smoothly, and he is in a good mood and has a good appetite, it can be seen that the content of the excerpts rumored outside is pure nonsense.

The business is over, and the next thing is the family business.

After dinner, Mama Ying took Bilian and Qingmei, removed the dishes and the remaining soup and vegetables, and then changed the daily small kang table, on which were still placed those plates of small fruit shops, and some candied fruit.

Shao's mother then got to the point: "Jin Fu should have told you, the day after you left, there was an excerpt in the imperial court, and he said a lot about the rights and wrongs of you and Qingyunzhai." ”

Shao Yi frowned when he heard this, are these people really looking at him now that he is on the errand of the Soldiers and Horses, and he can't trouble them like he did in the past, is he so arrogant?

Seeing him look like this, Shao's mother hurriedly said: "Don't be annoyed by this, in life, how can you not be told a few words." What I'm saying now is that it's always bad for them to put you and Miss Xia together like this. Speaking of which, I looked at Shao Yi with a good eye, wanting to see how he reacted.

"Oh." Shao Yi didn't react at all. Saying it with Qingyunzhai and Yan Qingshe, there is nothing wrong with it. Except for the errand of the Terracotta Division, all his other things are probably related to Qingyunzhai and Yan Qing.

These people are hot for him and Yan Qing to make money and make a lot of money, and they want to find fault, so don't they have to put them together and say it?

Shao Mu saw that he didn't take it seriously at all, so she had to continue: "You are not young now, it will be the end of the year soon, and after the New Year, you will be twenty-three." Miss Xia is not too young, and the two of you are always delaying like this, and you don't call it a problem. Otherwise, let your relatives make it up in advance, so that you don't have to be gossiped about from time to time. ”

Shao Yi was trying to bite open half of the small preserved fruit, feeling the sweet and sour taste in it, thinking that this thing would be sent to the kiln, I don't know if Yan Qing would be too sour to eat it.

Then I heard Shao's mother's words and couldn't help but pause. An careless eye, squinted by the sour smell of the small fruit.

Seeing him pause, Shao's mother thought that he was still hesitating, and was a little anxious: "We are men, so we must take the initiative." Even if you can't get married, that's normal. As long as we have the heart, as long as Miss Xia has never discussed with other families, we will have a second and third chance. If you keep it on hold like this, it won't work. ”

Shao Yi knew that this was his mother's misunderstanding, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, when I get out of the time, I'll ask Lord Xia about this." However, over there in the glass workshop, Yan Qing couldn't get out of the body for a short time, even if Lord Xia agreed, now he can only discuss marriage first, and the day of marriage has to be postponed. ”

It's good to be able to talk about family affairs, and Shao's mother was immediately happy: "That's right, even if the workshop can't get away for the time being, we can settle the family affairs first." There is always some preparation time between the discussion and marriage, so that the two families pay enough attention to the relationship between the two of you. ”

Shao's mother was full of smiles, and her son's family affairs were finally settled.

She was so worried about this.

Before, it was his son who didn't take family affairs to heart, and he was messing around with his brothers all day long. At that time, I was afraid that there was no girl from a good family who was willing to marry into her family.

After that, the son finally opened up, but what he liked was a divorced woman, and if he couldn't persuade him to come back, as long as the person was good.

As a result, the woman is indeed good, but it is really too good. There is no shortage of powerful families who are staring at the daughter of the Xia family and want to marry him, and they really can't compare to others if they take out their meager family background.

Now it's okay, the son not only agreed to go to the Xia family to propose marriage, but also looked at the meaning, this is ten percent sure.

Shao's mother is beautiful, and it seems that she can see her daughter-in-law enter the door and her grandchildren are born, and this house will soon be warm and lively.

…………

Xia Yanqing did receive two boxes to eat, which were a few small candied fruits wrapped in oiled paper, sweet and sour, more sour, less sweet, she ate it well.

Especially when you eat these two fruits with the shortbread in the other box, the shortbread is crispy and sweet, and the other is sour and greasy, which is really compatible.

When I got home that night, I even had one at home. Probably considering that there are three other children in the family, or their own personal maids or can also share some, so the weight of this at home is quite sufficient.

In addition to these, there were several rolls of woolen blankets, which were not very meticulously woven, but had another kind of roughness.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know that Shao Yi had a heart for her daughter, and when she received this, she praised Shao Yi for being so caring, and in such a barren place, he could find some gifts that he could give.

Xia Ke and Xia Zixi both knew, as well as Xia Zitang, who had vague guesses, all pretended to be confused and didn't say anything.

The next day, when Shao Yi helped the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division to deliver an official document to the cabinet, he "coincidentally" met Xia Ke from Zhongshu Province.

After Shao Yi saw the salute, he saw that there was no one near Zuo, bowed his hand again, and said: "The little nephew has two words I want to say to my uncle, I don't know when my uncle will be free?" ”

Xia Ke pondered slightly, this is to talk alone, right?

"If it's just a few words, it won't take long, so let's say it here." Xia Ke said.

"Then thank you uncle." Shao Yi ironed it to the extreme. In fact, if you want to talk about the key, it is a matter of one sentence. If Xia Ke is specially asked out for this, just the foreshadowing before and after will take much longer than talking about serious things. Facing a serious father-in-law, he is very stressed.

"The little nephew came home yesterday, and the mother mentioned the little nephew's family affairs, urging me to ask the uncle and aunt what they meant."

"Oh." Xia Ke did not reply. Shao Yi was very nervous about his daughter, if he asked if he could propose marriage, he would not be in this kind of place, he would definitely bring a heavy gift and solemnly visit the Xia family before bringing up this matter, he should have something to say.

Xia Ke's voice was almost encouraging, and he continued.

"The little nephew wants to ask Yan Qing's opinion on the marriage alone." Shao Yi said. That's what he wants to say, she has to go to the kiln to talk to Yan Qing alone, it's not easy to find Xia Zixi and Xia Zitang to accompany her.

Xia Ke was a little surprised: "You two ...... about this Is there no consensus? After he was misled by Shao Yi that time, he reminded his daughter to pay attention to the rules of behavior, and he didn't hear his daughter say that there was a discrepancy in this matter.

Therefore, he only mentioned it to Xia Yanqing a few days ago, and he would promise Shao Yi to propose marriage. But this Shao Yi, at this time, what else does he need to ask?
