Chapter XVIII Message
"He's a nice guy, a little older......"
If it needs to be specified, it is certainly not a little bit bigger.
Xiao Dong's eyes widened and he looked at Qin Lie with curiosity.
"Well......" Qin Lie told the truth: "He's twenty-nine......"
Obediently, Xiao Dong wrenched his fingers to calculate, and being Yao Jinfeng's father at this age can be regarded as abundant.
"You're a little older...... What about the others? β
Qin Lie obviously doesn't know much about this kind of thing, in the end, he is not a well-trained matchmaker, he can magnify the benefits of a needle on a person's body to the size of a copper basin, and the dog's tail grass can also be praised as a rose.
"Well, he's good at archery, well, there's a lot of ...... fields"
This boast is too unfocused.
If you're older, you'll be stable and reliable, right? If you have land and property, you must not have to worry about food and clothing. The skills are not bad - that means that if Yao Jinfeng wants to use a knife with someone one day, he will definitely not be stabbed, right?
That's how it seems to be.
But what Xiaodong cared about was: "Hmm...... What does it look like? β
This stumped Qin Lie, and he hesitated for a while: "I really don't know ......"
"I don't know?" It's good if it's good, it's not good if it's bad, and it's hard to judge beauty and ugliness?
Qin Lie gestured on his chin: "From the time I know him, he is a bearded man." β
Well, that's a problem......
Xiao Dong fully understands this kind of bearded camouflage, such as the father of the Luo brothers, that General Luo is a big beard, fluffy and fluffy, covering his entire face, Xiao Dong has seen him twice, but if you want to ask him what he looks like, it is impossible to say at all, it can be called a classic goodbye of "a few times when there is nowhere to be found, and suddenly there is a voice in the hair".
A bearded-faced, strong, old manβ
and Yao Jinfeng, who is as delicate and bright as a flowerββ
Xiao Dong held his cheeks and thought, this is the Great Xia Suizhou version of Beauty and the Beast?
"Then, how did Sister Jinfeng know him?"
"I met my mother. Brother Li and my grandfather's family are world friends. β
Xiao Dong understood that when he asked Qin Lie about the news, there was absolutely no romantic seasoning.
If you discuss this kind of thing with Zhao Zhi, it will definitely be very detailed, and even the eight generations of the ancestors of the protagonist of the story will be clear, and I can't wait to give eight the color of someone's belly pocket. Compared with Zhao Zhi, Qin Lie is like a piece of wood, if not like a stone.
Xiao Dong stupidly poured himself a glass of fruit wine that Zhao Lu had drunk.
"Sister drink slowly."
Although it is fruit wine, it can also be intoxicating.
Qin Lie comforted Xiao Dong: "Brother Li will be very good to the cousin of the Yao family, and he will be very good to the previous lady." β
Xiao Dong almost squirted out the fruit wine in his mouth, and after barely swallowing it, he didn't care about wiping his mouth: "He, he has a wife?" β
Qin Lie corrected: "Yes, I have passed away from illness. β
That's also filling the house.
Doesn't Xiaodong have any prejudice against men who have been married, hasn't her father King An married two before and after? It can be said that Xiaodong's mother is also filling the house. It's just, it's just...... Yao Jinfeng is so beautiful, she can marry a better person, right?
"Does he have children?"
This time Qin Lie shook his head: "No." β
Fortunately, you don't have to be a stepmother as soon as you enter the door.
"However, his brother left two sons and a daughter, and they are currently living with Brother Li......"
Xiao Dong almost choked again.
Qin Lie can't finish it all at once if he has something to say?
Well, not a stepmother. The step-aunt is much simpler. Anyway, the aunt is not a mother, and no one uses her mother as a reference to find fault with each other.
Xiao Dong's face was a little hot, I don't know if it was because she drank two more glasses of fruit wine, or if she slept too much during the day, she was very energetic now, and she didn't feel sleepy at all. She leaned on Zhao Lu and whispered. Zhao Lu listened to Xiao Dong complaining about sore legs and backache, and there was nothing on her body that was not sore, and she wanted to say to her: At least her lips and tongue are not sore, and she still has the strength to complain.
In the blink of an eye, they will grow up - maybe it won't be long before they get married.
Zhao Lu suddenly felt resentful and reluctant.
- Or, can he consider recruiting a son-in-law for Xiaodong?
This is not unprecedented, there are seniors in the Great Xia clan who have done this, the county lord is an only daughter, she married but did not leave home, and the husband who was gentle but had nothing to do has been living in the palace courtyard.
Zhao Lu laughed maliciously.
He thought it was a wonderful idea.
And Xiaodong felt that the days of summer vacation in Donghua Mountain were too wonderful, but they were too short.
She also went out hunting with Zhao Lu and Qin Lie, but the result was not surprising at all, Xiao Dong and Zhao Lu returned empty-handed, only Qin Lie was hunting two rabbits and a golden chicken. The golden chicken is still alive, Qin Lie shook the colorful golden chicken to Xiao Dong: "Do you want to make a few shuttlecocks?" β
Xiao Dong carefully observed the extremely aura Changling that grew on the buttocks of the golden chicken, and pondered for a moment if this was to be made into a shuttlecock - how heavy should this shuttlecock be?
In the end, the two long feathers were not made into shuttlecocks, nor into anything else, Xiaodong put it in Zhuangzi for a few days, and when they left Donghua Mountain, Xiaodong put it away. As soon as the golden pheasant was free, it flapped its wings and flew into the distance, its long bright tail drawing a colorful arc in the air, and disappeared into the dense forest.
"If my sister is reluctant, will she stay for a few more days?"
"No," Xiao Dong shook his head, "I miss my father." β
Zhao Lu nodded: "I want to too." β
Both of them were a little sad and parting, only Qin Lie was still the same: "Let's come back next summer." β
As soon as Xiao Dong returned to King An's Mansion, he divided the lotus pods and fruits brought from the villa into several parts and prepared to give them away, but before she could send them out, Zhao Zhi had already come to the door.
Zhao Zhi lowered her voice and said, "Do you know, in the past few days since you went out, the capital has been really lively, and several things have happened." β
"What's the matter?"
"First of all, the second prince wanted to accept a Qin girl, but he was refused."
Xiao Dong sighed, Second Prince? The silent prince, who always stood beside and behind others, most of the time he was like a shadow, without any sense of existence.
He ...... to Qin Nu Uh, and still rejected?
"When?"
"It's the second day you're gone." Zhao Zhi said: "Many people have seen it, and those who have not seen it have also heard about it. Qin Nu refused the head jewelry given by the second prince in person, leaving no room at all. β
I didn't expect that.
In addition to the word ah, Xiao Dong can only say such old-fashioned words as "really".
Zhao Zhi didn't wait for her to calm down, and threw out another sentence: "The fifth princess said that she was going to become a monk and had already lived in Wanfu Palace, as if she was still tossing and cutting her hair, I don't know if she cut it or not." β
"What?"
After the fourth princess got married, it was the turn of the fifth princess, her husband's family had been found, she was the second son of Lin Xianghou, a clean and noble family, and the future concubine was eighteen years old.
And the fifth princess has such a good family affair that is guaranteed and decent, why can't she think of becoming a monk?
It can't be a serious premarital phobia, or she's not happy with the amount of dowry, right?
Xiao Dong was puzzled, and at the same time looked at Zhao Zhi expectantly.
Based on what she knows about Zhao Zhi, she must have put the more shocking news at the end.
