Shui Qinghui smiled and didn't pay attention to his friend's jokes, but Wan said: "What the eldest mother is worried about does not exist, and so far the younger generation is still only white, without any fame or military merit." ”

"My grandfather used to say that you can't be rich for three generations." He said here and glanced at the founder people: "To the younger generation, it happens to be the third generation." "The Shui family, who made a career in military exploits, made Shui Qing a scholar, and did not let him participate in the imperial examination, but just studied at home.

The elders who do not put the future of their children and grandchildren in their hearts are considered by many people to be self-defeating - the Shui family, it's over; Because of this, Shui Qing has never received a decent proposal until now.

The few concubines he indiscriminately accepted at home were only one of the reasons, and the more important reason was that the Shui family ended here; Even if there are smart people who see General Shui's plan - the emperor is extremely generous to the Shui family.

It is said that when General Shui's father and son returned to Beijing to report on their work, more than one person wrote to Chen Chen, but the emperor did not give the courtiers a half-word answer, and acquiesced in General Shui's rampage in Beijing.

Yes, the Shui family is showing loyalty to the emperor, no matter how clear it is, there is absolutely no intention of taking military power, let alone occupying any position; Their Shui family to Shui Qing's generation no longer plans to go out.

Because of this, those who can see General Shui's thoughts will not marry his sons and daughters: the DPRK and China have the meaning of helping each other, and Shui Qing will not be in the office, that is, it will not help the Yue family in the future.

Then who will marry their daughter into the water family? The people in the court don't just see that they are right, and they don't just have a daughter who can be happy when they marry.

However, this is the first time that Shui Qing has said it to others.

Wan Shi was slightly stunned, seeing that Shui Qing didn't understand what he meant at all, so he subconsciously looked at his daughter, and then at Fang Zhengren; In her opinion, the children and grandchildren of rich and noble families are of course still rich and noble, how could Shui Qing not enter the ranks?

Could it be that the eldest prince of Shui has some hidden diseases, or is he simply unlearned? Suddenly, none of the thoughts that flashed in Wan's mind were beneficial to Shui Qing.

Zi Jue also heard Shui Qing mention it for the first time, and tilted his head to look at Shui Qing: "You won't be an official in the future?" ”

"No, it won't." Shui Qing shook his head: "The border pass is getting calmer year by year, and my grandfather's health is not very good, my father has been seriously injured twice, and his health is not as good as my grandfather's - when they return to Beijing to report on their work this year, they will ask the emperor to resign." ”

He said extremely plainly: "There is already a candidate for the general over there at the border gate. The meaning of these words is deep, the general has a candidate - who will choose it?

Zi Jue didn't care about the things in the court, and she was thinking about something else: "Then your family will ...... in the future."

"Back to my ancestral hometown." Shui Qing smiled lightly: "Although there are not many people in our Shui clan, there are only fifty people in the full fight; But it's better to go back, where the root is the bottom. ”

"My grandfather is an old man, of course, he likes to go back to the old house to support the elderly; And when I got to the time when I had to travel thousands of miles, when my grandfather and father came back, as long as I was in good health, I wanted to go out to study. ”

Speaking of this, he squeezed his eyes at Zi Jue: "Have you seen the sea?" As far as the eye can see, what a wonder is the rising sun? The desert is another kind of majesty, believing that the sunrise and the sea are absolutely different; There are also famous mountains and wonders in the world......"

Zi Jue's eyes lit up, she was not a person who grew up in the boudoir, how could she live her life without leaving home?

"Shui Gongzi, not bad." After hearing this, the founder only had one sentence, and then he stopped speaking; Although he didn't say much, his eyes were extremely attentive, and he looked at Wan Shi and nodded heavily.

In his opinion, Zi Jue and Shui Qing couldn't be more compatible, the most important thing is that Shui Qing can tolerate Zi Jue's temperament; Otherwise, he would be more interested in Su Wanli.

But as an elder, of course, he hopes that Zi Jue can live well and will not suffer again in the future, so Su Wanli was erased by him in his heart: he can't blame him, he is just an ordinary parent.

And Su Wanli's gambling also made him extremely uneasy.

Wan is not a person with ideas, because she will think more about her daughter's life; Now seeing the joy in his daughter's eyes, and seeing the nod of the founder people, he sighed lightly: "The matter of determining the marriage still needs to be discussed again." ”

It's still that the door of the Shui family is too big and too high, and when she has never seen General Shui's father and son again, she really doesn't feel at ease about coming to this family business.

Shui Qing looked at Xia Chengqin at this time: "What's wrong with me?" I got my parents' orders, and my grandfather told me in a new letter that it would be fine as long as the eldest girl didn't object. ”

Xia Chengqin coughed: "Brother Shui, I don't mean anything else, at this time, it's better for you to find a matchmaker quickly; That, I not only have the order of my parents, but I will soon have the words of a matchmaker. ”

"I'm just here to report the news, Brother Shui, you don't have to stare at me." He glanced at Zi Jue and smiled: "But if the eldest girl doesn't object, I don't mind pushing the boat." ”

He was purely a joke between Shui Qing and Zi Jue, especially Shui Qing, because he knew Shui Qing's mind very well; When he saw that Shui Qing looked like Zi Jue was already his fiancée, he felt that he was so sorry for himself if he didn't tease Shui Qing.

Hearing this, Shui Qing pointed to Lan'er behind Xia Chengqin: "When you say this, do you have to look back first?" His gaze swept gently across Lan'er's face.

Lan'er already bowed there: "The water boy is serious, the maid is just a subordinate, if our son can get the big girl Chi as his wife, the maid will only be happy that he has such a housewife." ”

Xia Chengqin looked at Lan'er and smiled softly: "Shui Qing, don't you want to provoke, our Lan'er is not such a careful and cautious person." ”

Zi Jue also laughed when he heard this: "You can joke, don't blame me for inviting you to eat fists if you take me with you again." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lan'er: "Brother Xia has already said about him and Lan'er, and he asked me to fulfill this purpose, and everyone knows this intention." ”

"Lan'er, you are so blessed." She looked at Lan'er and said kindly, and then turned her head; She just didn't want Lan'er to misunderstand again.

Lan'er saluted again: "Big girl, Lan'er doesn't have such a great blessing, or the big girl's blessing is good, how can it be compared with a servant." ”

Xia Chengqin saw what she wanted to say, but there were many people at the bottom, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips; Some considerate words can only be said in private, which is also a respect for Lan'er.

"That's it, my aunt asked me to come; But if I don't have my aunt, I'll come. "He and Shui Qing are friends, and they also regard Zi Jue as a cousin, so of course they have to come to report a message.

He sighed: "It would be nice if General Shui could be in the mansion now, just sit at home with his old man, I think there is no matchmaker who dares to go to the mansion to find Miss Chi to say goodbye." ”

Shui Qing smiled: "You can't live a lifetime by relying on your grandfather's prestige, of course my affairs will be solved by me; Thank you, Brother Xia, come, have a glass of wine. ”

After thanking Xia Chengqin, he looked at Zi Jue: "You have something to say." ”

He knew very well that Zi Jue's lifelong event would only be relieved if she nodded herself; If Zi Jue disagreed, Wan Shi nodded and couldn't do it.

Zi Jue looked at him inexplicably: "You and Brother Xia have a good talk, let me say something?" Oh, by the way, I also want to thank Brother Xia. She raised her glass and smiled sweetly: "Cousin Xia, I toast you." ”

She sincerely asked Xia Chengqin to thank her, since she arrived in Chifu, she has received a lot of help from Xia Chengqin, at this time she has already saved her mind to leave the capital, and it is impossible to meet Xia Chengqin again when she leaves, so of course this glass of wine should be solemn.

Xia Chengqin picked up the cup: "Don't dare to be, it should be my cousin's cup." He also knew that Zi Jue would not stay in the capital: "If there is anything in the future, remember to let someone write to me." ”

"My aunt also remembers you very much, and she has to write a letter to her from time to time." He sighed: "Until now, I haven't found anyone who killed my little cousin and my little cousin, and my aunt is really hard to solve." ”

Zi Jue smiled: "The second lady is a blessed person, I believe that God will bless her; It's worth it to come to the capital to meet your cousin. She poured the wine into her mouth with a quick finish.

Although I have never drunk alcohol before, I have seen people drink more than once, and the most envious thing is the bold style of drinking a glass as soon as I raise my neck.

Of course, she had to learn it when she had the opportunity today, but she didn't expect the wine to be so unpleasant, even if it was a little spicy, there was an indescribable strange taste.

As a result, the wine reached her mouth, and she opened her mouth and squirted out, staining the table of dishes.

Zi Jue wiped his mouth: "What is this, how can you like to eat these things?" Do you find your own guilt? ”

After she finished speaking, she found that Fang Zhengren was calmly wiping his face, and Xia Chengqin smiled wryly, holding Lan'er's small hand and taking the handkerchief from her hand.

There were men and women, so they sat on both sides according to the ceremony, so Fang Zhengren, Shui Qing, and Xia Chengqin all sat opposite Zijue.

The worst thing is that Shui Qing is facing him, as if he has just wiped his face, and his clothes have not been hidden.

Zi Jue lowered his head: "I'm sorry, that, it's the first time I've eaten wine." After saying that, she still couldn't hold back her laughter, because Shui Qing's appearance was so funny.

Shui Qing took the handkerchief and wiped his face and hair very calmly: "Where did we go?" Ah, big girl, Zi Jue, do you say to Aunt Wan whether you are willing or not-so many people are waiting. ”

He didn't look at Zi Jue, and said it so confidently that both Fang Zheng and Xia Chengqin glanced at him; Fang Zhengren couldn't help coughing twice, but after thinking about it, he still closed his mouth.

Fangzheng people are also from here, how can they not see the situation between Zi Jue and Shui Qing? It's all intentional, but it's a pity that Zijue is not too open. (To be continued)
