Xiping Street, Xufu.

Xu Qinghe was engrossed in the study to reconcile accounts.

Outside the window, the rain curtains the sky and the sun, and the sound of rain does not stop.

Mrs. Xu pushed the door and entered. The maid Shuangmei followed behind her, holding a cup of red dates and white fungus soup in her hand.

Xu Qinghe hurriedly put down the soft pen, ran over to support his mother, and complained: "It's raining so hard, why does my mother want to come over in person?" Something for the maid to pass on a word. ”

"It's just a few steps, and it's okay to carry an umbrella." Mrs. Xu smiled and pulled her daughter to sit down at the table.

Shuangmei immediately put down the soup cup, filled a small bowl, and put it in front of the young lady.

Mrs. Xu said, "It's good in the morning." Drink a bowl while it's hot. ”

Xu Qinghe smiled and picked up the small spoon and drank the soup in the bowl in three or two sips.

Mrs. Xu smiled softly and asked her softly, "Were you with Lord Shen yesterday?" ”

Xu Qinghe almost choked, coughed with a red face, and explained: "After eating at my cousin's house at noon yesterday, I sent Ah Jin to the county school first. Lord Shen, who met on the street in the afternoon, then returned home together. ”

"That's it?" Mrs. Xu asked her.

Xu Qinghe lowered his head and drank the soup and snorted a few times: "Mother, don't worry, I will pay attention to proportion." ”

"Hmm. I'm naturally relieved about this. Mrs. Xu responded, "Is Jingshu's health better?" ”

Xu Qinghe hurriedly replied: "It's much better." You can get out of bed and walk around for a while. Lang Zhong said that the fetus is stable and will not be a big problem. ”

"That's good. The first child was saved, and it will be able to continue to spread out in the future. Mrs. Xu said.

Xu Qinghe didn't know anything about pregnancy and childbirth, so he had to echo his mother's words with a sentence or two.

Mrs. Xu suddenly sighed, "Jingshu, who is younger than you, is already pregnant with a child, but you don't even have any relatives." ”

As soon as Xu Qinghe heard these familiar words, he immediately shrunk his neck and pretended to concentrate on scooping red dates and white fungus soup.

Mrs. Xu babbled a lot, and when she saw her daughter silent, she didn't know if she had listened to her own hard work. Mrs. Xu asked suddenly: "Has he ever mentioned a family affair with you?" ”

Xu Qinghe only reacted to the meaning of his mother's words in half a ring, and in surprise, he blushed the tips of his ears and said nothing in embarrassment.

Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter's shy attitude, and sighed that she didn't know anything about the relationship between men and women.

"If he really likes you, he should have come and settled the family affairs earlier. So that even if you meet, no one will say anything. ”

Xu Qinghe thought that it was better to make it clear to his mother, so that she would not have to worry more than every day. "The adults said that they would come to propose marriage in October. Mother, don't worry. ”

Mrs. Xu frowned, "It's only the end of April." Isn't there still half a year? ”

Xu Qinghe laughed out loud when he heard this, "Mother, what's in a hurry!" Lifetime events are not decided overnight. ”

"It's too late." Mrs. Xu said sadly, "According to this arrangement, by the time the two of you get married, you will be almost twenty years old!" ”

Xu Qinghe saw that his mother was complaining about his age again, and said with a smile: "It's not seventy or eighty." Twenty years old is still young! Mother, don't be anxious—"

When Mrs. Xu thought of her daughter's distant family affairs, her face became more and more sad, "It's been too long, I'm afraid something will happen." You are now in the period of filial piety, and you can't get married. But Lord Shen is not. In case a day later, Xingyuan Mansion has a family appointment for him, what can you do? ”

When Xu Qinghe heard these words, he naturally recalled the previous oolong. But what if they have the paperwork to get engaged?

said that there was no exchange of Geng posts, what if it had already been done secretly?

I was dizzy and listened to everything he said.

However, he can't lie to himself.

"Mother doesn't need to worry. If he is really engaged, then his daughter will look for a reliable husband again. Xu Qinghe smiled at the corner of his lips and said softly.

Mrs. Xu sighed, "The previous Liu Langjun has a good appearance, is good at painting Danqing, and has a gentle character. It's just that the family is poorer. Why can't you like it? ”

Xu Qinghe smiled helplessly: "Why is my mother still thinking about Liu Langjun?" ”

Mrs. Xu glanced at her, "I don't know who said that." I want to find a down-and-out talent and use the money from the Xu Mansion to help him in his scientific research. ”

Xu Qinghe immediately laughed and denied, "It's definitely not what I said." ”

"Scoundrel!" Mrs. Xu scolded, "I didn't look for a down-and-out talent, but I was looking for a dignitary." I don't know if you can afford your blessings! ”

Xu Qinghe begged to be obedient, "It's just one step, what a trouble!" The mother does not have to worry about whether her son-in-law can pass the examination, let alone worry about whether he can have a half-official position. ”

Mrs. Xu shook her head and laughed, "You stupid boy! Net said something out of tune. ”

Xu Qinghe grinned, lowered his head slightly, and continued to drink the soup.

"Invite Lord Shen to come to the house for a meal another day." Mrs. Xu suddenly said to her daughter.

"Huh?" Xu Qinghe looked at his mother in surprise.

Mrs. Xu's expression was calm, "Since you can't get married as soon as possible, then Lord Shen must give me a word of approval before I can put my mind at ease." ”

Xu Qinghe couldn't cry or laugh, "Mother really doesn't have to be so important." If he marries the woman next to him, then I will marry the man next to him. ”

"What nonsense!" Mrs. Xu rebuked unhappily, "Lang has a concubine who has intentions. If he marries a woman next to him, aren't you sad at all? ”

Xu Qinghe replied puzzledly: "What to do is to be sad." It's just a fateful game. ”

Mrs. Xu blamed her, "You! Talking and doing things like a husband, never take the initiative to fight, even if you miss it, you miss it. Lord Shen is in a high position, single, and I don't know how many people dream of being a fast son-in-law. If you don't hurry up and set your name, where can you buy regret medicine in the future? ”

Xu Qinghe looked at Mrs. Xu, who was making a fuss, and was full of helplessness, "Mother, I have only known him for three months, and I am not sure what will happen in the future." Mother really doesn't have to worry about that—"

Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter impatiently, so she had to take the conversation away and soften her tone, "Anyway, find a time to invite a guest." Even without your relationship, the Xu Mansion is still a neighbor of the Assassin's Mansion. It is also reasonable for neighbors to feast and drink. ”

Xu Qinghe saw that his mother insisted on this, so he had no choice but to respond: "Okay." I'll find a time to post. ”

"Pick a day and say hello in advance." Mrs. Xu instructed her uneasily, "When the time comes, let Master Su purchase some ingredients for the banquet, and be sure not to mix them with the cold." ”

"My daughter knows. Lord Shen is a distinguished guest, and he should be entertained well. Xu Qinghe smiled helplessly.

It's a coincidence. It just so happened that Lord Assassin Shi also mentioned this matter yesterday. I was caught in the middle, and I couldn't resist at both ends, so I could only follow their wishes. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
