After Hou Yanting went out, she stood and thought about it, but went to her parents' yard.

If you wait for your mother to be alone, you don't know how long you have to wait, and your father is like a shadow of your mother, and as long as you are at home, you will follow your mother.

When she dragged her brother back just now, the two quarreled, and she said that if her brother was always like this, who would give him Zhang Luo in the future marriage.

Hou Baoshan said angrily that he didn't need anyone to Zhang Luo, and he already had someone he liked.

Hou Yanting was taken aback, afraid that her brother would be fascinated by the unserious people outside, so she asked hard, at first Hou Baoshan didn't say it, Hou Yanting said You don't say it, the family will marry you and others, what do you want?

Hou Baoshan said that it was Xi Mulan, the cousin of Huo Yinggui, the princess of Yuzhang County, but also the cousin of the second princess.

Xi Mulan's mother and Huo Yinggui's mother are sisters, and Concubine Ning's current Concubine Ning is cousins.

And her father, Xi Shuxue, is the cousin of the deposed concubine, and he is the supervisor of the country. Hou Baoshan went to school in Guozijian, so he saw Xi Mulan and secretly admired him.

Although Xifu was not implicated by Concubine Shu and dismissed from his home, it was also an embarrassing situation, Hou Yanting didn't expect her brother to fall in love with the little lady of Xifu.

So she wanted to tell her mother that she also knew that it was impossible for her children in the family to marry whoever she liked, and she had to weigh all aspects, and her marriage would be the same in the future.

Hou Binggui, who was in the house, saw his daughter come in and asked, "Is there something?" ”

"The daughter wants to talk to her mother."

"Then you can say it."

Hou Yanting: ......

Zheng stepped forward and said, "The old man said to show the concubine this poem, then go to the study to help the concubine find it." ”

Hou Binggui reacted at this time, the mother and daughter wanted to whisper, he was happy to be prejudiced about this, and got up and went to the study.

Sitting down to her mother, Hou Yanting didn't know how to speak, Zheng thought she was speaking for her brother, and today's stepson's face was not good.

But she didn't mention it, and she didn't say anything like your brother didn't have a heart.

I was too lazy to waste saliva on this, and told the lord that it was a last resort.

Hou Yanting first said something else, something inconsequential, and then expected Ai Ai to say that her brother liked the lady of the Xi family.

Zheng's surprise, she knew about the embarrassing situation of Xi's mansion, but she didn't know the specifics, let alone the little lady in the mansion.

"Have you seen that little lady?"

"I've seen it once, it's my cousin who took me, Princess Huo took her cousin, I didn't pay much attention to it, I just felt that it was not like Princess Huo, it was quite gentle."

Zheng smiled, the son inherited his father's business, no, the son inherited the ancestral business, and the second room of the Hou family preferred the Sven woman of the scholar's family.

"Your marriage with your brother, today the county lord of Le'an came and asked about it, saying that it was time to find out, I told her that I was not familiar with the capital and no one knew anyone."

Hou Yanting didn't expect the county lord of Le'an to come to inquire, and felt that it would not be for her mother's county palace, and she couldn't help but be prepared for others, and the county lord went back and forth to visit each house in the past six months.

She was anxious, because she was afraid that Le'an would say that she would not be able to get married, and she felt that the county lord would not be a good candidate to be the matchmaker.

"Mother, if you can't ask my aunt and grandmother about this, she is a good old man, if Xi Niangzi is not suitable, it is better to let my brother die as soon as possible."

Hou Yanting is talking about Jia Xibei's grandmother, the old aunt and wife of the Hou family.

Zheng said in his heart, your family is looking for the Jia family for something, no wonder Mr. Jia wants to meddle in the master's marriage.

"Then tomorrow I will take you to Jia's house to say goodbye."

Of course, your Hou family will tell the Hou family about this, so as not to say that I will have many things in the future.

Hou Yanting went back and whispered to her brother that Hou Baoshan hadn't slept all night and was looking forward to it.

Because of the matter of Concubine Shu, except for those who are in office, other people close the door and do not go out, and others hide when they go out.

Xi Mulan's mother began to cry every day, secretly scolding the eldest princess.

I have been avoiding them before, but the accident still affected Xi Fu, my son Xi Fangfu was dismissed, and the family that my daughter had prepared before no longer came to the door.

Qian wanted to cry when he looked at his daughter, but fortunately, his niece did not avoid suspicion, but often came to see her.

But recently my niece is pregnant and can't come often, outsiders think that the princess of Yuzhang County is hiding from Xifu, and the son is good to say, he has been selected for Xiucai, and he will be promoted in the future, and it is easy to say kiss, but what about the daughter?

Think and cry.

Xi Mulan was helpless and comforted: "Mother, don't think about that, I'm not yet fifteen, and it's not too late to set it in a few years, it just so happens that my daughter will accompany her father and mother more at home." ”

"There are still two months to go, and my mother still wants to hold a lively ceremony for you, but my mother can't stand you, and always wants to take advantage of your cousin's light to pick a good family, which delays you."

Xi Mulan has figured it out, hasn't her brother been dismissed? But I can't mention it, otherwise my mother will cry again.

"Mother, marriage is destined, where would my cousin think of being a princess when she came to Beijing, so don't worry, there is no little lady who can't get married, my cousin said, she will help me choose someone."

Qian's heart is uncomfortable, marrying a bad family and suffering, it is better not to marry.

But with my niece here, there's always hope.

After Xi Mulan comforted her mother, she went back to the house by herself with a depressed expression.

used to have a longing for marriage, eager to marry a husband who was in love, envious of her friend Tang Shuyue and cousin, and didn't wait for her to love which son, the palace changed and affected the family.

Who will take the initiative to propose marriage to Xi Mansion, they are all waiting and watching to see what the situation will be in the future, after all, Xi Mansion is not only Concubine Shu's maiden family, but also the aunt's family of Princess Yuzhang County, and Concubine Ning is Qian's cousin.

But the age of the little lady can't afford to wait, wait and see for a few years, will it be used as a house in the future?

No matter what, Xi Mulan is also a teenage lady, she pretended to be okay in front of her mother, and cried when she returned to the house.

I was worried about my brother again, and I was withdrawn, and my brother was also hit, and he was depressed every day.

After a while, the mother came in, holding a couple of gift boxes in her hands.

"Mulan, you go to the county king's mansion to see your cousin, this is what my mother prepared for your cousin."

Xi Mulan sighed, knowing that it was convenient for her cousin to go out, so she wanted to let herself come to the door.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes."

Qian put down his things and helped choose for his daughter, chose a plain dress that was not very ostentatious, and inserted two simple jewelry, so that his son, who was bored at home, would accompany his daughter.

got into the car, Xi Mulan saw her brother like that, and couldn't help but say again: "Brother, I really don't want to see my brother like this, there is no grass at the end of the world, brother studies hard, and when he ends in August, he is lifted, why worry that there are no good people who take a fancy to my brother?" My cousin said that it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on heaven and earth. ”

Xi Fangfu was full of ambition before, preparing to end the township test this year, he hoped to marry in a prosperous manner after the middle lift, but who knew that his fiancée's family had withdrawn.

It's not that she doesn't want to marry, it's just that she feels like she's losing face.

"Sister, I know, my eldest brother has talked to me, and I'm fine."

Xi Mulan complained in her heart, she still looks like she has nothing to love when she is fine, she doesn't know how to worry about her father, such a big person makes her mother worry about it, naïve child.
