387 Trade-offs
Xia Yan glanced at her again, and sighed regretfully, "Originally, when I received the invitation, I was still wondering if the second girl Ye wanted to see me, so I took a lot of trouble to invite you and invite me, but I didn't expect it to be so engaged!" ”
"The key is that I ran here in a hurry, but I didn't even see the beauty! My set of twelve Guanyin images, but there are still several beauties missing."
Xia Xiqing frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, it's ruined the reputation of other girls."
Xia Yan yawned boredly, "Didn't you say that you were tired of staying in Beijing and wanted to go to Jiangnan to appreciate the beauties?" The sun is going down, how long will you have to go? ”
Xia Xiqing's eyes darkened slightly, she was silent, and asked lightly, "Third brother, what kind of woman do you want to marry?" ”
"It's not a weird woman like you anyway! I'm strange, why hasn't that little white-faced branch of the world been broken by you until now? ”
Xia Xiqing glared, "Do you believe that I will break your arm now and break your leg again?" ”
Xia Yan straightened his face, thought seriously for a while, and then said, "Well, first of all, you can't be too stupid, like Xiao Yanyang, who is sold and helps her count the money, and secondly, you can't be too smart, like the Ye Qingshu you said, I will let me count the money for her after selling it."
"Then, you must be beautiful, it is best to be on par with the princess of Hengyang County, and then, you must be dignified, generous and gentle, of course, you can't be too dignified, you must be lively when you should be lively, and you must be coquettish when you should be coquettish."
"Furthermore, you must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you must not be better than me, I heard that Ye Qingshu's calligraphy is especially above Ye Shangshu, and it must be so good than me, which is very inappropriate."
Xia Yan touched his chin as he spoke, "Well, of course, this is just a very rough and rough idea, if you really want to know, I will carefully list a charter when I return home and give it to you."
Xia Xiqing smiled and didn't smile, "That's not necessary, you still like what your mother said, go and become a monk, save trouble!" ”
Xia Yan pretended not to hear her words, touched his chin and groaned, "By the way, I just missed the most important point, that is, you must not be good at martial arts, let alone be as talented as you, and you are born with strange powers, relying on your own bravery, if you don't agree with a word, you will abandon your family and husband, and go to Jiangnan to be the chief scoop of the 36th Road Water Village!" ”
Xia Xiqing's nose was sore, and she almost rolled down tears, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
Xia Yan reached out and knocked on the table, "What?" That branch is not good for you? ”
He said without waiting for Xia Xiqing to answer, so he said indignantly, "When this family matter was just discussed, I didn't agree!" And so which of you listens to me? Zhi Qihua's little white-faced sissy is unreliable at first glance! ”
"You should marry Xuan Ming, Xuan Ming! What if you have a heart, I don't believe that you beat that kid Xuanming down ten times a day, and that kid is still dead set on you! ”
Xia Xiqing, "......"
She knew that her third brother's poisonous mouth couldn't spit out ivory!
"Husband is not a sissy!"
Although he can indeed be called a little white face.
Xia Yan smiled coldly, "Tsk, still protecting him?" Is it still called a husband? So what do you want to run to Gangnam? When you run to Jiangnan, he can suddenly find that you are beautiful and dignified, and he will suddenly be good to you? ”
Xia Xiqing was speechless, Xia Yan stretched out her index finger and poked her forehead vigorously, "What my father said is not wrong at all!" Sooner or later, your talent will kill you! Every day, I rely on that bit of talent, thinking about the 36th Road Water Village in the south of the Yangtze River! ”
"Today, I will be the master on behalf of my father, you draw a line for me, if you really want to be the chief scoop, I will send you out of Beijing today, to ensure that Zhi Qihua can't find it, and my father can't find it, but from now on, don't mention to me anything about the daughter of the Xia family and the wife of the prince of the Zhiguo Mansion!"
Xia Yan flicked his sleeves as he said and looked out the window, "Now there is still an hour before sunset, you think about it, if you really want to go out of Beijing to Jiangnan, I can still send you out of Beijing in front of the gate of the city."
After he finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Xia Xiqing, straightened his clothes and walked to the bow of the boat, well, although Xiao Yanyang is a little stupid to be a lady, it is still very pleasant to tease occasionally.
After a while, the painting boat docked, Zhi Qiyi and the lord of Yanyang got off the boat and returned home, Xia Yan ordered the shore to continue swimming in the lake, he did not enter the cabin again, leaned over the railing of the bow of the boat to blow the wind.
The weather looks warm, just don't do anything, standing on the bow of the boat to blow the wind and bask in the sun is also a very pleasant thing!
In this world, there are certainly many regrettable things, such as the cute and likable Xiao Yanyang is a little stupid, and the smart and beautiful Ye Qingshu is too smart, but there are always many beautiful things.
For example, the lake and mountains, such as the warm sun and wind, and the strange sister who can beat him down with one hand since he was five years old......
"Third brother".
Xia Yan glanced at her, "What?" Got it in mind? ”
Xia Xiqing walked up to him, leaned on the railing, and lowered her head to look at the waves lapping the hull, "Third brother, Buddhism says that the most precious thing in life is nothing more than not getting it and having lost."
"I sometimes think that if I just be a daughter of everyone so obediently, and then obediently be a noble lady, I will be unwilling for the rest of my life."
"Sometimes I think that the reason why I have this kind of thought, but I haven't gotten it, if one day, I give up everything, go to Jiangnan, inherit my grandfather's family business, and I will definitely miss everything in the capital, and even regret it."
Xia Yan raised his eyebrows, "So since childhood, my father has taught us to learn to make trade-offs."
Xia Xiqing smiled reluctantly, yes, since she was a child, her father taught her to learn to make trade-offs, she gave up the dream in her heart, obediently became the daughter of the Xia family, and obediently obeyed her parents' arrangements to marry into the Zhiguo Mansion.
Her father wanted her to make such a trade-off, her mother wanted her to make such a trade-off, her brothers wanted her to make such a trade-off, and even, when she heard that her beloved was the extraordinary prince of the Zhiguo Mansion, she was also overjoyed, and she did not hesitate to give up her dream from childhood to adulthood and take the jade beloved.
But the cold reception she has received in the past six months, and the sadness and helplessness that she has received in the past six months, made her retreat.
The moment she agreed to marry into the Zhiguo Mansion, she was ready to spend her whole life in the inner house that she was not interested in, but she was not ready to spend her life on a man who had no heart at all, and was not even willing to have a house with her.
Xia Xiqing's sharp heart face was a fundamentally irrepressible sadness and confusion, Xia Yan felt a pain in her heart, and stroked her wind-blown hair with pity, "Zhi Shizi, it's not good for you?" ”
