Chapter 248: Farewell
Listening to Ye Feng's words, Mama Zhao laughed out loud. Uncle has been smart since he was a child, and many practices and ideas are different from ordinary people, and he has great ideas and can't listen to people's advice. And the county lord always wants to know what he thinks, and always wants to break some of his ideas and practices. Mother and son care about each other, but they guard against each other.
When her master was five years old, she was unexpectedly pregnant again, and she had to give birth to a child, and the county lord transferred a grandmother to take care of her uncle. She thought that she would never have the opportunity to serve her uncle again. Who knew that three years later, the county lord transferred her to the uncle's side again. In the more than four years since she left her uncle's side, the uncle has changed a total of five grandmothers. They were all replaced because they couldn't handle the relationship between the uncle and the county lord, three of them were replaced by the uncle because they listened to the words of the county lord too much, and two were replaced by the county lord because they listened to the words of the uncle too much.
And she has the trust and value of both the uncle and the county lord. She is the uncle's minion, and she fully believes in the uncle's early wisdom, and is sure that everything is under the uncle's command. As for the county lord who always wants to know about her son's situation, Mama Zhao seems to have "known everything". She spoke very skillfully, so that even if the county lord did not approve of some of his son's actions, he could not bear to blame him......
Mama Zhao smiled, "The county lord also cares about the uncle. If she knew that her uncle had a beloved girl, she would also be happy......"
After the two finished talking, Mama Zhao left Tengshuge. Her new home is in a small courtyard in the back street of Yefu, and she walked out of the back door of Yefu and walked for a quarter of an hour.
Ye Feng stood in front of the window. In the small courtyard in the distance, the lanterns under the porch swayed with the autumn wind, and the faint light came through the windows, and the misty rain and fog made the lights even more yellow. At this time, it was past the time for him to meet Xia Li, and he couldn't help but be disappointed when he couldn't see that shadow as he wished.
Today, he and Ye Laoguo received a secret letter from his father in the capital, as well as instructions from his mother...... For both of these things, he had to go to Hanjiang Mansion in person.
The road ahead for him and Lili may be smoother than expected.
The next day, the light rain was still drifting, and the autumn mood was even stronger.
Xia Li and Xia Ju sent Dangdang and Heizi out of the door. Xiong Xiang's injury is not completely healed, and Wang Xin is on marriage leave, so Xiong Xiang will not go to training in a few days.
Before they entered the door, they saw Xia Dani holding an umbrella to send Xia Erhu to Shen's private school to study.
Xia Dani is a little taller than Xia Li, and because she is stronger, she appears to be taller. She was wearing a silver-red silk armor, hairpins with four beaded flowers sent by Xia Li, and light makeup.
Xia Li felt that he would have to tell the little girl how to dress up again in the future. Moreover, she might be more suitable to find an officer. Her family moved to Fucheng, and the future of her family and Uncle Xia Shan is good, and she also has this condition.
And Erhu, who is wearing a pale green robe, is beautiful and elegant, not at all like his butcher father Xia Zhu, but more like the son of the Xia family.
Several people greeted with a smile, and saw Liu Changzhao coming with an umbrella. He was wearing a stone blue robe, with only a hosta on top of his head, and his face was lonely.
Xia Li had a feeling that he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he seemed to have grown up several years older.
Xia Ju wondered, "Brother Liu, you don't go to school, why did you come here?" ”
Liu Changzhao shook his head and said to Xia Li, "Little girl, I'm going to go to the provincial capital with my cousin soon, and I have a few things to tell you." ”
Xia Dani, who gave the second tiger, originally wanted to come to Xia Li's house to sit down, but when she saw a few of them talking, she went home directly.
Xia Li and a few people entered the courtyard gate, Liu Changzhao stood down in front of the shadow wall, he didn't want to enter the inner courtyard.
Xia Li motioned for Xia Ju to go back by himself, and Xia Ju had to reluctantly enter the weeping flower door with his mouth crossed.
Liu Changzhao saw that there were no outsiders, so he said sullenly, "I am already over fifteen years old. ”
Xia Li nodded, she knew. When he celebrated his birthday, Xia Li and Xia Ju sent congratulatory gifts, and Xia Ju also went to the banquet.
Liu Changzhao said again, "My mother died early, and I was raised by my grandmother. ”
Xia Li nodded very sympathetically, she also knew this.
Liu Changzhao sighed, his eyes were a little red, and he said, "I don't have the ability of my cousin, and I am always controlled by others." ”
Xia Likuan explained, "Liu Gongzi, don't be presumptuous, you are very good, and you will definitely be able to do a lot in the future." Like Lord Ye...... There are not many people who are precocious. "With her, there are only two.
Liu Changzhao's gaze turned around Xia Li's face a few times, and said with a smile, "You are very good at comforting people, no wonder I am willing to talk to you." He looked into the distant distance, his face gloomy, and said, "I have received a letter from my aunt, who has been encouraging my father to interfere in my marriage. My father obediently asked the emperor for an order, saying that I was old, and they had fallen in love with a girl, and asked the emperor to marry me. ”
Xia Li knew that his stepmother was also a woman of the Qi family, and wanted to kill him or raise him every day to clear the way for his son. Busy said, "That bad woman can't find you a good relative, you can't listen to her." ”
Liu Changzhao said, "Yes." When my aunt heard about this, she went to see the emperor and said that I had been forced away by them, and that if I were given another daughter-in-law I didn't want, I would be forced to die. The emperor did not refer to the marriage for the time being. ”
When he said this, there were tears in his eyes.
Xia Li felt very sorry for this big child, his mother died when he was a child, and his father couldn't pay attention, so he had to run to his cousin thousands of miles away. said, "Then you have to find a good girl yourself first, and let your aunt ask the emperor to marry." If you can't find a daughter-in-law, you won't be happy for the rest of your life. ”
Liu Changzhao's gaze retracted, looked at her in a daze, and said, "Actually, I have already taken a fancy to a girl, but I can't harm her." Our clans seem to be beautiful, but sometimes they are not as free as the common people. ”
Xia Li's face turned red, and he didn't answer, and there was an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Liu Changzhao smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, there is a girl who is more suitable for me, and that is her." ”
"Who?"
"My cousin, Qingqing." Liu Changzhao said softly.
Xia Li's eyes suddenly appeared that pretty smiling face, and he said sincerely, "It's Miss Zeng, she is really good, beautiful, intelligent, cheerful, and virtuous." ”
Liu Changzhao nodded, and said, "Her mother and my mother are cousins, and we know each other. The uncle's official reputation is very good, and he is very valued by the emperor, and I heard that he will be transferred to the capital as an official in the future. My cousin is not very old, and we can get married a few years later. At that time, my brother-in-law should have gone to the capital, and she also relied on it, so she would not be bullied by my stepmother. In a few years, I will be stronger than I am now, I have been learning from my cousin how to be an official, how to fight, I will be promising......"
He counted Zeng Qingqing's merits, and their lives would be better after marrying her. He seemed to be telling a fact, as if he was convincing himself.
