The structure of this annex is very different from that of the house in Beijing, and it is not the shape of a classic courtyard house, but it has the feeling of a Jiangnan garden.

It's just that these courtyards are distributed differently, and they are all built around a courtyard with a pond in the middle, for example, now the girls' families live on the east side of the whole courtyard by the old lady's yard.

Passing through a few pavilions and corridors, there were two or three larger courtyards, where the four wives and their servants now lived, and on the west side, where Xie Langhua and his young friends lived.

Lotus roots are planted in this fairly wide water, and although it is not yet the extent that the blue leaves are endless, the lotus leaves have also begun to spread on the water.

There is also a pavilion in the middle of the lake, through which a winding wooden corridor passes.

At this time, the sky is getting late, and the orange glow is scattered on the water surface and the pavilion, and it looks like it has a bit of the charm of Jiangnan that others have just said.

When the group passed by, they disturbed a few water ducks hiding under the lotus leaves, and suddenly they hula-la-la-la-lung into the water, creating a circle of ripples on the water surface.

Several girls were in a very good mood, and now they were all infected by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and they talked and laughed all the way to the old lady's house to say goodbye.

"It's really wild as soon as it comes out, and I told them to find something fresh from the field for your sisters to eat, and whoever wants to wait for someone to call someone will see that you are all gone."

The old lady laughed and deliberately made fun of them.

Xie Sihua hurriedly said: "Grandmother wanted to get us some fresh food, and we also went to catch a lot of peach blossom fish for grandmother to eat!" The maids had already sent the fish to the kitchen, and what we caught with our own hands must have tasted delicious. ”

Seeing that they were all happy, the old lady was obviously very satisfied, so she smiled and said, "It's obvious that she is naughty, and she said that it is for her grandmother!" Alright, let's pack it up! Otherwise, your fish will come up later, and you will have to wait for you to wait for the cold. ”

Then everyone went to their yard to change their clothes, and when they were all gone, the old lady turned to ask them, "How?" ”

You look at me, I look at you, but you didn't speak.

Xie Wenyuan smiled and said, "They are still children!" I'm afraid that I haven't understood your thoughts at all, so I just let a few of them play for two days, and when I go back, you will ask again? ”

An and Yu also nodded yes on the side.

Only Qi sat on the side in a daze, his eyes and face full of thoughts.

The old lady's eyes fell on her, and when she saw this, she said: "Second daughter-in-law, your body is good, if you feel tired, you don't have to sit here according to the rules, Hengzhi has also come out now, and there is nothing to relax." ”

Qi came back to his senses, quickly sat upright, and said with a reluctant smile: "Where is this, just thinking about what their young people are talking and laughing about, I feel a little emotional." ”

As for what they sighed, the rest of the people could guess it in their hearts, but no one led the topic in that direction.

The old lady said: "There are many girls in our family, Lin Yatou will not talk about it, it depends on the meaning of their Lin family, at the moment, the four girls and the five girls are all in time, the six girls are also fast, and the seven girls will be fourteen soon, it is always time to get up, the first few sisters are married, and the latter ones are good to continue." ”

Du Du didn't mention Xie Shuhua, and the handkerchief in Qi's hand tightened again, but he still didn't hold back, "Could it be that Mother and Master are planning to look at each other from these four Jinshi?" ”

It was a little strange to ask this, even An couldn't help but glance at Qi.

No matter how much she doesn't care about Xie Songhua, she is also her biological daughter, and she plans to ignore it at all when she hears this?

The old lady was not surprised at all by her question, and said lightly with her eyelids: "You don't have to worry about the fourth girl, her father has his own arrangements, but the fifth girl still has to worry about you."

Her biological mother is your personal maid, even if you are too uplifted, what kind of situation is their mother and daughter, you know it well in your heart, if you don't help her take a good look at each other......"

"Mother rest assured!" Qi Shi touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and it was inevitable that he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still had to put on a smiling face, "With the situation of the five girls, it can be said that the last serious jinshi is also very right."

Before going out, her aunt also came to tell me about it, and said that she wanted me to thank my mother. ”

"It's all my own girl, what can I thank you for."

The old lady said this lightly, in fact, she didn't want to say more, and a few people changed the topic again, talking about the scenery outside.

But these people also have a number in their hearts, in fact, this time they look at each other for Xie Li and Xie Shuhua, and the other sisters are either not their own family, or they are not old yet.

And Xie Songhua, it is obvious that Xie Yuncang has his own arrangements.

This is also true, speaking of which, Xie Songhua is Xie Yuncang's only daughter-in-law.

's father is the second assistant of the dynasty, how can he be matched with a mediocre jinshi?

Unless this Jinshi also has a family background like Xie Langhua, if you calculate it, you can barely get it for a Lan Gongzi.

But listening to the old lady's meaning, Xie Songhua's marriage will not fall on this Lan Gongzi.

The elders have their own calculations in their hearts, but the younger ones are all kept in the dark.

Xie Sihua is the most carefree one, in her words, this meal is especially fragrant because of eating the fish she caught.

In the evening, several sisters got together and dispersed, and they were really tired from playing today.

Xie Di came to Xie Songhua's house.

"Sixth sister has something to say to me?"

"A few days ago, the second uncle went to Shou'an Hall to talk to my grandmother, and I vaguely heard something."

Xie Di spoke like this, even if the news was nine out of ten, she had to lock a layer of smoke first, which could not be described as imprudent.

Xie Songhua was used to it and knew what she had heard.

"The second uncle said that he wanted to choose one or two of these people as sons-in-law, and let his grandmother help palm his eyes."

She said and looked at Xie Songhua seriously, but she didn't see any surprise on her face.

So Xie Di continued: "Originally, there was such news in the house, I only thought it was for you and the third sister, but what I heard later was for the third sister and the fifth sister." ”

This surprised Xie Songhua, in fact, she was still carefully observing those young offspring during the day today!

I want to see which of them has a better personality than myself.

It's a pity that she is an older young woman living in her body, and these young people today really feel like younger brothers in her eyes!

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Chen Liu's natural old-fashioned personality can make her feel less disobedient.

Who knew that at this time, I heard Xie Di say that he was not here to choose a husband for her.

Seeing her stunned look, Xie Di couldn't help frowning and said, "Have you listened to me carefully?" ”

Xie Songhua finally came back to his senses, "Huh?!" Listen, I heard everything you just said. ”

"Don't you understand? The second uncle is choosing a husband for the fifth sister! What does that mean? ”

"Say, what does it mean?!"

Xie Di was a little stunned, she came back to her senses for a while, and said helplessly: "You are usually so smart, why haven't you figured it out at this time, it means that the second uncle has already decided your marriage!" ”

Chapter 256:

"What?! Who?! This time, Xie Songhua really reacted.

Xie Li is younger than herself, in this era, except for special circumstances like Xie Qionghua, the rules of large families are in order.

Now that she is ranked fourth, she can't marry earlier than Xie Shuhua.

Similarly, Xie Li is the same.

Xie Di shook his head gently, "I don't know who it is, at that time, my maid also heard it under the window, when I said this, I really didn't hear it clearly, but it is certain that the second uncle has already determined the candidate, but he didn't tell us." ”

"Nope! No, it's not! Xie Songhua was caught off guard by this sudden news, "If this is chosen, don't you need to tell me?" ”

This is still marriage from time to time! Leave it here to buy and sell people!

Xie Di was afraid that she would disturb others, so she hurriedly asked her to whisper, "I told you this matter to make you mentally prepared, the second uncle didn't tell you at this time, so naturally he also has his considerations."

It's just that this marriage event, for a woman, is a lifelong thing, since you came back, the second uncle has always been good to you, and you have been left behind, otherwise, when you go back, you find a chance to talk openly and honestly with the second uncle, and he may not blame you for not following the rules. ”

Xie Di went back for a while, but Xie Songhua didn't come back from his thoughts.

She knew that she was going to talk about getting married soon, and she had been doing psychological construction for herself during this time.

But......

When this day was really placed in front of her like this, she was still in a trance in her heart.

What does Xie Yuncang mean when he chooses?

It means that the person she is going to live with for the rest of her life already has a specific name and has become a specific person.

She couldn't help but think of the words she said to Yu Ruzhuo, which were the words in her heart, and at the same time, they were also the living facts she had to face.

"What? Scared? ”

Yu Ruzhuo's voice suddenly appeared, and Xie Songhua was no longer afraid, but suddenly had a strong desire to talk from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you know who it is? My father...... I may have really been identified as a future husband! ”

"I just heard you." Yu Ruzhuo's voice was as calm as ever, and it seemed that there were not many things in this world that could surprise him.

"You...... So what do I do now? ”

"Don't you wonder who your father chose for you?"

As soon as he asked, Xie Songhua suddenly reacted, she didn't seem to have really thought about who it was, but she was completely uneasy about this matter.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "You know?" ”

"I can know."

These words silenced Xie Songhua, and she turned around and looked at the night sky outside the window as if she was avoiding something.

This place is no better than in the city, there are no night lights on the streets, and the starry sky seems to be brighter, but the sparse two or three stars on the dark night also seem even colder.

"Or, do you still want to marry Chen Liu?"

"Huh?" Xie Songhua came back to his senses from his ethereal thoughts, and only shook his head for a long time and said, "Actually, I don't know, is it really good to marry Chen Liu?" ”

She didn't actually have a male or female affection for him, not even the throbbing of the kind of meeting that was theoretically needed.

What's more, because of the relationship between the original owner, she always has a feeling that she has forcibly occupied the original owner's things because of this.

But this kind of emotion doesn't seem to be of much use to Yu Ruzhuo.

Although their relationship can be called friends, it doesn't seem to be very good for him to work hard for him in everything.

After a long time, Xie Songhua still smiled and said, "Forget it, let's take one step at a time!" I don't know what kind of choice is better at the moment, so it's better to leave this choice to God and let God choose for me! ”

I don't know if I don't understand or disagree with her thoughts, Yu Ruzhuo was silent for a while.

Xie Songhua had no choice but to say again: "But thank you for thinking about me, but ...... We'll part ways one day, and I can't always count on you! By the way, the last time you said, you're leaving? Be...... Does that mean? ”

"Hmm."

Xie Songhua suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart, "This time...... It's true? ”

"Hmm."

There were not many words, such an empty word, which made Xie Songhua a little uncomfortable, she looked left and right, shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, it's just ...... But don't blow up again. ”

"Probably not."

At this point, it seems that there is nothing more to continue.

During this time, he became more and more busy, and occasionally he was absent from the whole day, which showed that there were a lot of things on his side.

He has never stopped studying those strange and mysterious things, and according to his character, he is basically nine out of ten sure!

Of course, she should be happy for him for such a thing, but Xie Songhua always has some lingering loss in her heart.

I don't know if it's because of this, or because of marriage.

On the second day, Xie Langhua started his head and proposed that everyone go to climb the mountain, but when everyone was elated, Xie Songhua was a little listless.

Xie Di probably saw this, and when she was in front of people outside, she stood in front of her intentionally or unintentionally.

It is said that it is a mountain climb, but in fact it is just a small hillside, it is said that the scenery at the top of the mountain is good, and the weather is good, at this time, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is indeed a good choice to go out, so Xie Songhua came with him.

Except for Xie Qionghua, who is not in good health, everyone else is there.

The mighty group of young men and women can be regarded as a beautiful scenery.

Fortunately, this area is specially circled by rich people, specially used to build their own courtyards, and those who are here on weekdays are all members of high-ranking families, although they are surprised to see them, but they will not be lively onlookers.

With yesterday's relationship, if we travel together today, we don't have such a strange feeling with each other, even if Xie Di is an introvert, he can occasionally pick up a sentence or two with someone.

"It seems that the fifth sister has already been selected."

Xie Di and Xie Songhua were lagging behind, and seeing that they didn't pay attention to themselves, they lowered their voices and bit her ears next to Xie Songhua.

Xie Songhua had already noticed that from the beginning of going out, Xie Di's attention seemed to be on Na Su Gongzi, and the two of them said the most, although they were within the rules, but if you pay close attention, you can still see the bias in it.

"It's also a good match, the fifth sister was born to an aunt, and she can't compare to others economically, but she is also a girl from the Xie family, and she just complements Su Gongzi."

Xie Songhua said this sincerely, Xie Di was a little surprised, "She has always been with the third sister, not to mention how bad it is, but it can be regarded as an accomplice, I thought you wouldn't want her to be good!" ”

When Xie Songhua heard this, he smiled and pinched her face, and Xie Di turned around and dodged when he saw this, laughing and begging for mercy.

It's lively here, but in the end, it's on the mountain road, under the cover of fine leaves, the morning dew hasn't dried yet, Xie Songhua didn't pay attention, his feet slipped a little, and he immediately planted it aside.

"Be careful!"

Those who noticed the situation on their side couldn't help but exclaim.

Xie Songhua himself was also startled, and then he felt that his waist was being supported, and when he turned his face, he saw Chen Liu's hand reaching over and grabbing her arm.

The force on her back suddenly loosened, and Chen Liu pulled her over with force.

Frightened, everyone gathered around, "Are you okay?" ”

Xie Songhua finally stood firm, breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head again and again, and raised his eyes again, only to find Chen Liu's hand looking at him with a little doubt on his face.

"What's wrong?"
