Chapter 303: Sacrificing Face and Asking for Marriage

Kong has always been worried about this matter, and felt that Tong used her to climb the Shu family, and after the engagement came out, Kong was far away from Tong, and Tong came a few times and saw that he didn't come to the door again.

Now that many years have passed, the Tong family has become the eldest and youngest lady of the Shu family, although there are old Mrs. Shu and her mother-in-law, but when she is older, the affairs of the family have long been handed over to her.

In such a situation, it is even more impossible for the Kong family to talk to the Tong family, and the Tong family also saw the pride of the Kong family, and did not take the initiative to come forward to annoy people.

Except for the younger ones like Tong and Kong, the others who sat at this table were all at the level of old ladies, even Xiao Shu, the wife of Kong, was not qualified to sit on it, Xiao Shu's set up a single table to entertain the ladies of each family, and the juniors were at another table.

The female guests are in the inner room, and the male guests are in the hall below.

In the middle is through the curtain, and you can faintly see the figure behind the curtain.

Xie Yuanniang was sitting on the left side, and he could see the figure behind the curtain with his head slightly sideways, among which Brother Yue was the most naughty, and seemed to have been staring at Xie Yuanniang secretly, as long as Xie Yuanniang looked over, he would stretch out his hand.

Then there was Kong Ruihong's scolding.

Xie Yuanniang couldn't help laughing, she only thought Brother Yue was interesting.

The girls on the table on the side of the small movement also noticed it, looked at the curtain from time to time, and looked at Xie Yuanniang from time to time.

The children in the Kong family are younger than Xie Yuanniang, and they don't dare to talk funny in front of the elders, but they are very curious about this talented woman in Jinling, the elders who are famous for their talents.

After the meal, the boys prepared fireworks and wanted to go to the lake in the back garden, Mrs. Kong was happy, and asked Sister Yan to take the girls to join in the fun, only saying that it was her own family, and there were not so many rules.

As a result, a large crowd of people hula flocked to the backyard, and only then could the men be seen.

For the rest of their lives, they have to call Sister Xie Wenhui their cousins, but they are the same age as them, and in the eyes of the teenagers, it is indeed a little embarrassing to call people.

Kong Shiguang called out and agreed, "Auntie, you haven't come over all these years, and a few places in the back garden have also been rearranged, and you can't see it clearly at night, I'll take you to see it tomorrow when my aunt is free." ”

"Okay." The two made an appointment here, and Brother Yue also came over and said that they would be together tomorrow, and the three of them were the most lively together, and they couldn't get noticed if they didn't want to.

"Uncle Zeng, do you want to come along?" Brother Yu beckoned to a man not far away.

The man came slowly, with his hands behind his back, his body was slender under the moonlight, and he exuded a sense of luxury, it was Shu Tong, the eldest young master of the Shu family, from the Tong family, and Shu Mi were brothers and sisters.

"Second cousin." Shu Tong has already figured out the generations.

Xie Yuanniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there are too many relatives, and she really can't tell the difference in seniority, for example, this young master of the Shu family calls her cousin, but Brother Yue calls him his uncle.

So in this life, it's really small enough.

Kong Shiguang is a generation older than Brother Yue, so the title is different, "Uncle, we are going to visit the garden tomorrow." ”

Kong Shiguang is four years younger than Shu Tong, although the two have a big gap in generation, they always play together on weekdays, and they understand it when they exchange their eyes.

Shu Tong glanced at Xie Yuanniang before replying, "Cousin doesn't mind, I'll go shopping with you." ”

"It's all a family, so it's good that my cousin doesn't think I'm annoying." Xie Yuanniang is really the first time to see the cousin of the Shu family.

The main reason is that she was too young when she was in the Kong family in her previous life, and she didn't remember the people on the Shu family's side for a long time, and she didn't come here when she grew up, so she wasn't very familiar with it.

A few words here were agreed, and the girls not far away only stared, and they didn't even have the time to interject.

The Confucian family is a big family, and the garden is also large, especially the lake in the middle is also naturally formed, when the ancestors of the Confucian family built the Confucian house, they enclosed the lake.

After everyone arrived at the lake, there were already small servants who went to light fireworks, and the bright fireworks were particularly beautiful, even standing in the garden, you could also hear the cheers of the people passing by on the street outside the garden.

The girls got together, and Sister Yan also looked up at the sky, even though her face was faint, she could see her happiness at this time from her eyes.

When she returned to the yard in the evening, Shu Mi smiled, "Brother Yu is the most calm on weekdays, and it is rare to see his naughty appearance today." ”

"He's just grandstanding." Sister Yan shook her head, "Brother Yue is the great-grandson of the house, and my father is watching him closely, and I am always afraid that my eldest brother will not discipline him well, so I take him with me on weekdays, so I look more serious, and as soon as I leave my father's side, I will show my original form." ”

Shu Mi couldn't help laughing, "It's not a headache for my cousin, right?" ”

"Shihong is a gentleman of the academy, and he has always been calm, I heard my sister-in-law say that Shihong never did this when he was a child."

Shu Mi was already laughing.

Xie Wenhui on the side didn't say anything, and Sister Yan felt a little snubbed her, "Cousin, but you're tired?" ”

It can be regarded as an excuse for Xie Wenhui to be unsociable.

"yes, I'm a little tired."

"It's a little late today, let's talk about it later." Shu Mi also has a kind temperament.

The three of them also arrived at the courtyard, and then they said goodbye again and went back to their respective courtyards.

Xie Yuanniang also went back, but before going back, Brother Yue secretly ran into her ear and whispered, "Let's go out of the house tomorrow to play, secretly." ”

Then he ran away.

Xie Yuanniang shook her head, and when she was taken back to the yard by the girl, she saw the warm milk on the table, and knew that it was prepared by her aunt.

In the study in the front yard of Confucius's mansion, after Mrs. Kong told Father Xie that it was late, he let him rest, and he also went back to the main courtyard, and when he entered the warm pavilion, he found that his daughter was also there.

"Why don't you go to rest at such a late hour?" Kong Daru is a strict person and respects the rules, and when he saw that his daughter was still there in the middle of the night, he frowned slightly.

Kong got up to salute, but did not leave, "The daughter is waiting for her father." ”

Today I met my eldest brother and father, but I just said hello, but I didn't have a chance to speak.

Kong Daru sat down and took the Wen Pazi handed over by his mother-in-law to wipe his face, "What is there to say tomorrow, it's so late, it's not in accordance with the rules." ”

"Father." Kong Shi was dissatisfied, "The father should have received the letter written by his daughter a few days ago, Yuan Niang's family affairs are now settled, but Sister Hui has not yet, I want to ask my father to pick a good family affair for Sister Hui among your protΓ©gΓ©s." ”

Kong Daru put down his veil, "Just discuss this matter with your mother's sister-in-law." ”

Listening to his father, Kong bit his lip, "Sister Hui, when you are young, you also like her literary talent, this year, the master has had accidents one after another, and no one has come to ask for marriage after delay." ”
