Chapter 180: Someone from the Palace
On the fourteenth day of the first month, Mai Xiaofang and Tang Yujun arrived at the villa, and now the Mai family was gathered, and the family was drinking tea and chatting, but they were happy. Mai Yonghe sat next to Chen Qiuniang, although the couple did not interact much, their relationship was much more harmonious than before.
"Congratulations to Uncle Mai and Aunt Mai's family on their reunion." Zhou Yue was dressed in a purple robe, like a fairy who walked out of the painting, which made men jealous and women obsessed.
Mai Xiaohuan circled around him and teased: "Are you going to go out and provoke the little girl again?" If the threshold of my villa is broken one day, you will have to repair it. β
Is this jealous? Zhou Yuewan smiled and readily agreed: "Okay, I'm responsible, I came over today to ask Uncle Mai and Aunt Mai for leave." β
"Are you going back to the capital?" It would be great if he never came back, with such a peerless beauty dangling in front of his eyes every day, Mai Xiaohuan was really afraid that one day he would be confused and like him.
If someone asked Zhou Yue now, who was the most unconscionable person in the world, he would definitely point to Mai Xiaohuan without hesitation. I have made so many changes for her, what is the result? Looking at the way she looked, I wished she would never come back.
Knowing that he was speechless and happy was too obvious, Mai Xiaohuan explained in a hurry: "I'm worried about what to do if you leave to plant corn, without Qincha, we are not sure!" β
Edit, you just keep making it! Zhou Yue deliberately ignored Mai Xiaohuan and told Shan Cuihua that he had something to go out for a while, and he would come back in a month at most.
He was coming back, Mai Xiaohuan turned his head and grimaced, and he was happy in vain. Shan Cuihua told Zhou Yue that this was his second home, and that he was welcome to come back at any time, and told him to be careful when he went out and pay attention to his body.
I have been out so many times, my mother has never been so careful, she looked at Zhou Yue's eyes full of concern, I don't know and think that Zhou Yue is her biological son!
The Mai family got up and wanted to send Zhou Yue: "We'll meet again in a while, you can stay!" Zhou Yue turned around in a dashing manner and walked away.
If others don't send it, it may be really nothing, but they don't dare, they just offended him, if they don't go out to send it again, Mai Xiaohuan dares to guarantee that he will definitely die miserably when Zhou Yue comes back next time.
"Yue Gongzi stays, I'll send you."
"Mother-in-law, the person my mother introduced to Xiao Huan wants to come over and meet you after the New Year." Tang Yujun doesn't have a good impression of Zhou Yue at all, he dislikes him for being better looking than a woman, and hates him for embarrassing himself, isn't he close to Xiao Huan? I just want to sabotage, and when Xiao Huan has a fiancΓ©, see how embarrassed he is to come over and entangle.
"What does the other party do?" Mai Xiaoyuan was infected by Dou Liangfu, no matter what happened, he put his interests first, and he couldn't help but ask after listening to his brother-in-law's words.
Tang Yujun said that the man's surname was Shen, and he was the young master of the richest family in Yumu County, and after knowing that Mai Xiaohuan led the people of Tongbei County to get rich, the Shen family was full of praise for her. knew that the Tang and Mai families were in-laws, so he asked them to come over and say goodbye.
is the richest man again, how can the lives of his sisters be better than his own! Mai Xiaoyuan tore the handkerchief in his hand jealously, the three sisters, why are they so unlucky, and they have an ugly and old husband, God is too unfair.
"The people here today are all my own family, and I will tell the truth, I don't want Xiao Huan to marry too far, as long as the other party has a good character, he is willing to let Xiao Huan and support her with these novel and unique ideas." Shan Cuihua knows her little daughter too well, she looks soft and weak, and she is very stubborn in her bones, if a big family wants to find a daughter-in-law with rules, she is not the best candidate.
The little girl is definitely unwilling to live a constrained and controlled day, which Shan Cuihua knows better than anyone else, Xiaofang is a paper tiger, and without her sister next to her to take ideas, she can't make any waves at all. Xiao Huan is completely the opposite, no matter what she wants, as long as she wants to do it, no matter what way she thinks, she has to try, even if everyone around her is against it, she will do it.
"If the Shen family really wants to marry Xiao Huan, and Xiao Huan doesn't object, let's put the conditions out, and if they agree, they will continue to talk, and if they don't want to go, they just don't want to go." Mai Xiaofang is very confident in her sister, so a person with the ability will definitely be able to find a good mother-in-law, even if the Shen family is not good, there are other people's families!
Here Mai Xiaohuan trotted all the way, and finally picked up Zhou Yue at the gate: "Why are you walking so fast?" I'm exhausted. β
"Don't you want me to disappear soon? Why are you still chasing it? β
It's not that I'm afraid that you will turn over the account, you and I are willing to chase a big man all over the villa! Mai Xiaohuan apologized again for what happened just now. And told Zhou Yue that when it was warm, he would level the fields, select seeds, and prepare fertilizers, and wait for him to supervise!
Finally coaxed his face back to normal, got in the car and left, Mai Xiaohuan wiped his forehead, scolded "hypocritically" and turned back, walked a few steps and suddenly remembered that he was going to the capital in two days, and he wouldn't meet this difficult guy!
Probably not, if you stay in Qufu, at most, you will go out shopping and go around the Tang family's shop, the capital is so big, the probability of meeting is very low, very low, so there is no need to worry about it at all.
The Mai family is now short of a second daughter-in-law and a little son-in-law, but now it is not bad, more than a dozen people got together for a lively fifteenth day of the first lunar month. On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first month, Qu Hao came to pick up people, and Shan Cuihuatuo Tang's family bought a pair of jade Ruyi, and gave it to Qu Hao as a wedding gift. Dou Liangfu sent a rosewood screen, Tang Yujun sent a pair of jade pendants of mutton fat jade on behalf of their young couple, and the Tang family had another congratulatory gift, and someone would go to Qufu to congratulate them on the big day.
I didn't want to alarm anyone else, but it turned out to be ...... If it was usual, Qu Hao would not accept these things in the name of anything, and he really couldn't refuse the gifts given in the name of congratulatory gifts.
The brother and sister took gifts and said goodbye to the Mai family, and went all the way to the capital, Mai Xiaohuan teased Qu Hao that it would be different if he was going to get married! Even God favored him, and the green light was on all the way.
"What is a green light?" Qu Hao asked puzzled.
"That...... It means unimpeded, I remember that Qufu is in the north or south of the city. Mai Xiaohuan changed the topic, and at the same time warned herself that she must be cautious when she speaks in the future, and she can't say anything when she is happy.
"Qufu is in the east of the city." Qu Hao didn't know how many strange ideas were in the righteous sister's head, as well as the strange words she said inadvertently, even if he searched his stomach, he couldn't think of their origin. Knowing that he wouldn't tell the truth if he asked her, Qu Hao also changed the topic with her.
The former champion and the current county order returned home, and the Qu family happily welcomed the most promising junior in the family, as for Mai Xiaohuan, it was almost the same if he was completely ignored.
Lin felt very sorry, but Qufu was not her master, and everything had to be arranged by the old lady and sister-in-law. Mai Xiaohuan grabbed her arm and smiled, she didn't care about this, as long as she saw that her stepmother's family was doing well, she wouldn't take it to heart at all what other people's attitudes were.
At the reception banquet in the evening, Mai Xiaohuan was arranged at the table of the concubines at home, and even so, those little girls ignored her. Mai Xiaohuan quietly ate her meal under the critical and mocking gaze of a group of girls.
"Xiao Huan, have you eaten enough, let's go to the kitchen! I eat these dishes every day, and I'm tired of them for a long time. Auntie, why did you arrange Xiao Huan to eat here, she is my mother's daughter, how can she sit and eat with a group of concubines! β
Qu Wen is a little bully at home because he is spoiled by the old lady and the old lady, and it can be said that he doesn't buy anyone's account except in front of the old lady, the old lady, and his own father.
"Isn't there a lack of free seats? I believe Xiao Huan won't care about such a trivial matter, right? "A country girl, do you still want to eat at the main table, I originally thought that she was a capable person, and she was able to climb the big tree of King Chen's son, who thought that in the end, it would be impossible to let her sit in the hall and eat, it was already for the sake of her nephew's face."
"Mother, Xiao Huan just came, I'm afraid I can't get used to eating food in Beijing, let's cook by ourselves in the small kitchen tomorrow!" Qu Hao's gentle voice came from the other side of the screen.
"Mother knows." The Lin family held back their anger all night, Qufu is not as good as before, it has gone downhill, her husband is the highest official in the family, her son is the most promising among the younger generations, and the sister-in-law actually treats her righteous daughter like this, which is a bit too bullying.
They didn't welcome Xiao Huan, so they just took the children back to the yard to eat, which was more comfortable.
The next day, Qu Wen simply asked for leave, and went to Mai Xiaohuan's residence early in the morning to squat, he not only likes to eat now, but also likes to study, and when he is in a particularly good mood, he will personally fry two, his hobby makes the elders in the family a headache.
"Xiao Huan, Xiao Huan, hurry up, the sun is rising." I'm hungry and hungry, sir, get up quickly.
"Qu Wen, what do you want to do when you run to the girl's door early in the morning and make a lot of noise!" I've been in the carriage for days, just trying to get a good night's sleep, why is it so difficult!
"Make breakfast, and then come back and go back to sleep."
Sleeping on you, Mai Xiaohuan resigned herself to the kitchen and asked her to cook, but she didn't allow Qu Wen to do it. Qu Wen was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, circling around the stove, Mai Xiaohuan deliberately angered him and made two fresh dishes.
"Xiao Huan, you teach me how to make this dim sum! What conditions do you want, just say. At the dinner table, Qu Wen couldn't stop pleading.
"When will you come back after the exam, when will I teach you."
"Don't."
"Ten recipes, ten dim sum recipes, you don't want to."
This temptation was too great, Qu Wen was ruthless, gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. Lin sincerely thanked Mai Xiaohuan, if it wasn't for the way she came up with, the youngest son would probably have been mixed up like this.
"Second master, someone is here in the palace!" The butler trotted over to give the report.
Someone came to the palace early in the morning, Qu Zhiyi and Qu Hao hurriedly changed into official clothes and went to the front hall to greet the distinguished guests.
