Chapter 167: Something Bad Happens
Now the Mai family is busy, not only to buy a dowry for Mai Xiaofang, but also to arrange Mai Yonghai's marriage. Mai Xiaohuan volunteered to take on the important task of purchasing the dowry, so that her mother could take a break and devote herself to the second brother and sister-in-law's marriage.
Afraid that Chen Qiuniang would have any ideas, Mai Xiaohuan specially talked to her once, and also asked her about her future plans, whether she wanted to spend time with her son alone like this, or whether she wanted to be with her eldest brother again.
"I don't want anything now, as long as I have a place to live, I can be content with my son." As long as the Mai family's property can be left to his son, he and his father don't deserve it at all.
"You don't have to think about it, as long as you want, there will always be a room for you in the villa." Speaking of the house, Mai Xiaohuan wants to talk to the second brother, the conditions in Tongbei County are much worse than here, why don't you wait for the second brother to get married, give it to them, and move to Tongbei County by himself? Talk to your family about it.
Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua didn't express their opinions, their daughter and son are as important as they are in their hearts, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, so let them discuss it themselves.
Mai Yonghai did not agree to exchange with his sister, although Tongbei County is poor, his villa now has a certain scale, as long as the house is torn down and rebuilt.
None of the brothers and sisters could convince anyone, and they refused to back down, so in the end, Mai Xiaofang came up with the idea and asked them to ask the Hao family and Hao Youlan's opinion. The Hao family didn't say anything, these two Zhuangzi have their own characteristics, and they have developed well in the past two years, but Hao Youlan chose the Zhuangzi in Tongbei County, and now she wants to be farther away from Mingle County, and farther away.
Now that it has been decided, Mai Xiaohuan drew a new house design drawing, and handed it to Hao Youlan to let her give her opinions.
His own brother and sister have all been settled, and Brother Qu will be nineteen soon, why hasn't he moved yet! Do you want to wait for the official media to come to the door? I'll have to ask him what he thinks.
"I'm afraid I'm busy at home now! Why do you still have the leisure to wander around, are you here to help me transcribe the dossier? β
"Big brother, I'm here to care about your life's events, you see! My second brother is younger than you, and he is going to get married, you are nineteen years old, so you are not in a hurry! β
Just for this matter, no one can compare to her when this girl is shrewd, and she is not an ordinary person who can compare with her stupidity.
"You! After the New Year, I will know if I go back to the capital. β
Is there something I don't know? Mai Xiaohuan moved a chair and sat opposite Qu Hao, holding her chin in her hands and waiting for the next step.
"Ahem, the last time I went back to Beijing, your stepmother helped me choose my fiancΓ©e."
"Then why don't you tell me when you come back, it makes me feel worried these days, Brother Qu, you can't hide anything from me anymore when you get married, otherwise I'll be really angry."
Qu Hao picked up the file in his hand and knocked Mai Xiaohuan on the head, of course he had to take her back when he got married. Unknowingly, I have been a county magistrate in Tongbei County for three years, and I don't know if I will be transferred in the next year, and I am really a little reluctant to leave here, so I can't rest assured that this girl will not be.
Thinking about his teacher's plan, Qu Hao really had no way to deal with his wayward master, and the most incomprehensible thing for him was that Ouyang Yan was messing around with his old man, and he refused to listen to the two of them no matter how he persuaded them.
The righteous sister is not suitable for marrying into a wealthy family at all, and she doesn't see that she has that will, why do these people have to change her life! Zhou Yue is like this, and now Ouyang Yan also has such plans.
Qu Hao put down the things in his hand and looked at Mai Xiaohuan with his chin on his hand, I have to say that the little girl has changed a lot in the past two years. The appearance has grown, and with the appearance of a big girl, the delicate appearance and confident appearance are quite attractive. After the New Year, she will be fourteen years old, and the age of a girl is not small, and she should think and plan for the future.
But her family affairs are really not easy to handle, marry an ordinary person, everyone will be wronged for her, and it doesn't seem appropriate to marry Xungui's son, in that case, she won't be able to live a free life.
Since being knocked on the head by Qu Hao, Mai Xiaohuan has been in a daze, no one has done this action to himself for a long time, why do I always think of him inadvertently! I think that after being separated for a long time, I will forget all about the past, why can't I do it!
Mai Xiaohuan, you are the most rational and self-aware, aren't you? To forget, we must forget everything in the past. Your memory of Lord Evian is already very vague, isn't it? After a while, Zhou Yue will be gradually diluted in his heart, he will.
Just when the day of Mai Xiaofang's marriage had entered the countdown, Zhao Gelao's recital was placed on the imperial case in front of the emperor. The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and it is impossible to remember this little thing about Tongbei County all day long, and at this time, he has already forgotten Mai Xiaohuan.
It was only after being reminded by the chief manager around him that he remembered that there was a heroine in Tongbei County who led the people to improve the land, and carefully watched the twists and turns, and the emperor smiled with satisfaction, as if he had seen the beautiful scene of Xirui grain full of warehouses and people's lives to a higher level.
"The twists and turns of the Quxian order! Let the people below hurry up and present it, and by the way, call Qu Zhiyi to the imperial study. β
"Yes." The emperor's side of the chief Xu personally went down to convey the order.
Zhou Yue, who came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and was ordered to send Liu Qinghuan, the granddaughter of Scholar Liu, out of the palace, left the little beauty behind and walked forward by herself. One name has Huan, and the other has a ring, the sound is similar, but the people are 108,000 miles apart.
This Liu Qinghuan is just like what the imperial grandmother said, it is indeed very suitable to be the housewife, I can't find a flaw, and the appearance is not bad, if I want to talk about the shortcomings, it is a little dull and serious, and there is no such heartbeat feeling with her at all, as if the superiors and subordinates meet, as long as they go straight to the topic and talk about business.
Are you going to stay with her for the rest of your life? Probably the imperial grandmother was also afraid that she would dislike this concubine and have no interest, so she was ready to give the first beauty in the capital to herself as a side room.
For a man, the capable main room and the delicate side room are all there, so it should be satisfied, right? Why do you feel that life is becoming more and more boring, and more and more like the walking dead?
"Oops! My little ancestor, you are looking at the road! There was no pain in the bump. "Manager Xu ignored the painful shoulder he hit, and hurried to help Zhou Yue, this is the tip of the queen mother's heart, and the red man in front of the emperor can't afford to offend.
"It's okay, where is this going, boss?"
"Xuanqu Zhiyi goes to the imperial study, the emperor is happy today!"
Zhou Yue showed a smile that was not worth his life, and made way for Manager Xu, and at this time, Liu Qinghuan, who was following behind, finally caught up.
"It's Miss Liu! The miscellaneous family has seen the eldest lady, so please do it first. "The prince is really good, how can he leave others behind! However, with Miss Liu's conditions, it is indeed Gao Pan the prince of King Chen, but then again, which girl marries this young master is not Gao Pan!
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhou Yue asked his entourage to send Liu Qinghuan home, rode a horse and walked alone, wandering aimlessly for a while, harvesting several purses and handkerchiefs, and Zhou Yue returned to the courtyard.
"Shizi, you're back, these things ......"
Looking at the neatly stacked bags in the yard, Zhou Yue looked at Xiao Quanzi in puzzlement, where did these things come from.
"Lord Shizi, have you forgotten that you sent someone to go to sea with the merchant ship?"
Is this the seed, the seed of the little bad? Zhou Yue asked people to open two bags, one of which contained potatoes he had seen, and the other contained something the size of Huang Chengcheng's fingernails, is this the food that the bad girl said?
"Koizumi immediately loaded these things into the car and gave them to ...... Send a ...... to the Mai family, and then say something! She is getting married, and she is getting married, is it necessary to say anything?
Looking at the master's lost appearance, Xiao Quanzi was particularly distressed, he had a bold guess, and he didn't know whether to say it or not: "Lord Shizi, the slave sometimes wonders, will it be Miss Xiaofang who will marry that day!" Most people don't marry the youngest child first. β
Will it? Zhou Yue's peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up, didn't Gonggong Xu go to find Qu Zhiyi? I will follow him into the palace, and find an opportunity to ask Qu Zhiyi, he should know about the affairs of the Mai family. Zhou Yue instructed Xiao Quanzi to take good care of his things and make a decision after he came back.
Zhou Yue quickly entered the palace, and when he broke into the imperial study, the emperor and Qu Zhiyi had been chatting for a while.
"Why are you here, Xu San poured him a cup of tea, I forgot, Yue'er also lived in Qingcheng County, come, listen to the deeds of the heroines of Qingcheng County."
Qu Zhiyi decisively shut up, he didn't want to talk about the righteous daughter in front of Zhou Yue, in case this guy didn't give up! Who in the capital doesn't know that the queen mother is about to marry her baby grandson, and she is a concubine and a side room, so why does he care about Xiao Huan.
The emperor's uncle is too understanding, and he entered the palace to inquire about Qingcheng County, and then lead the topic to the bad girl.
These two people stopped talking, and at this time, the eunuch outside the door reported that Zhao Yimin, the son of Zhao Ge Lao, and the inspector Ouyang Jing asked to see him.
"What's going on today, it's getting more and more lively, Xuan!"
"Ministers Zhao Yimin and Ouyang Jing see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Get up and speak! I don't know why the two Aiqing came! β
Zhao Yimin took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "This is my father's letter, his old man said in the letter that he admired the Mai family girl very much and wanted to be a matchmaker for her, it just so happened that Ouyang Shige was also interested, we discussed it, and wanted to enter the palace to ask the emperor for a favor, whether he could give marriage to the two children." β
"Yes! The minister's dog fell in love with the Mai girl at first sight, and when he came back, he was full of praise for her, and the minister also wanted to fulfill his heart. β
"Excuse me, which girl from the Mai family are you talking about, I also want to know!" Zhou Yue put down the cup in his hand and came over.
Qu Zhiyi took two steps back, and distanced himself from these people, he had a very bad feeling, I am afraid that something big will happen today.
