Chapter 158: Self-defeating

Xia Xunqiu's resistance continued, Xia Zhan obviously felt the pressure, and there was a faint feeling that there seemed to be a force behind her daughter that was pushing her. It must be his eldest brother Cao Tong, but he can't find any evidence, so he can only take strict care of his daughter and don't make unnecessary things out of line.

On this day, when I came back from the next day, Xia Zhan was reading a book in the study, and Steward Zhen came to report that Xiong Daoyun came to visit. For the God of Wealth of the Great Zhou, Xia Zhan didn't dare to offend and went to greet him in person. As soon as they met, Xia Zhan immediately waved his hands, "I am deeply honored to have arrived here!", this is not an exaggeration, Xiong Daoyun has never visited the door alone, this is the first time in the world.

"How dare you! I deliberately begged for a glass of wine to drink, and I hoped that Xia Gexiang could give me this thin noodles.", Xiong Daoyun didn't hide it, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in this matter, and he just listened to the destiny of heaven.

"Oh! Please go inside!", although some went to the fog, Xia Zhan still welcomed the guests in first.

The two of them sat down in the living room, served tea first, and Xia Zhan raised the teacup politely, "Lord Xiong!" Please drink tea!".

Come to ask someone to have a process, and he is not in a hurry for this, Xiong Daoyun slowed down, picked up the teacup and drank two sips. Tea is good tea, but Xiong Dao's luck is not here, no matter how good the tea is, he is not in the mood to taste it. His eyes were on Xia Zhan, to see what he was doing, and as long as the time was right, he would open his mouth to say something.

Xia Zhan has been thinking in his heart, what is Xiong Daoyun's intention to please the wine, and he will invite him to drink in a short time, how to ask for it. After all, the person in front of him was older than himself and a guest, so Xia Zhan asked first, "Lord Xiong!" I don't know what I mean?".

"I was the one who proposed marriage!", Xiong Daoyun is not secretive, and he does not drag his words into words.

"I don't know who it is? To be able to get such support from Lord Xiong.".

"This person is a cousin, it is my new disciple, Tang Tong, the captain of Xiding Gate!", Xiong Daoyun deliberately stretched the word Tang Tong, in order to cause Xia Zhan to be surprised.

As soon as he heard that it was Tang Tong, Xia Zhan smiled, he really didn't expect Tang Tong to become a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and he could be favored by Xiong Daoyun and underestimate him. From Sigui to himself to Xiong Daoyun, he really triple jumped, I don't know how he did it, but all this is no longer under his control, so he can only ask naturally: "I don't know which daughter I like?"

Xia Zhan pretended to be calm when he spoke, but this did not escape Xiong Daoyun's eyes. With my apprentice's qualifications, it is naturally your baby, Miss Xia Xun and Qiu! ".

Xia Zhan almost didn't stand up and scolded his mother when he heard it, but because he was sitting side by side, it was the God of Wealth of the Great Zhou, and it was not good to collide with him face to face. had to respond truthfully: "My eldest daughter has already married, how can I remarry?".

Xiong Daoyun disagreed, and laughed loudly: "It's really a fan of the authorities, the eldest lady has long been willing to marry my apprentice, let him find me to propose, but you don't know.".

Xia Zhan was secretly angry in his heart when he heard this, it turned out that he was set up by Tang Tong, a bastard, and he couldn't wait to tear him apart. There is Xiong Daoyun, but he still said loudly: "The marriage is the decision of the parents, how can the juniors be willful, what kind of system!".

"I know that Mrs. Xia doesn't agree, but I can't get around you. Isn't the junior asking for your opinion?", Xiong Daoyun reasoned and laid out the facts, and patiently spoke to Xia Zhan.

Xia Zhan snorted, indicating that he did not agree. Lord Xiong is considerate of his children? But I heard that the two daughters are matchmakers, how can they make their own decisions?".

"My two daughters are mediocre, how can they be compared with Miss Xia, and besides, they haven't met a good man, so they naturally agree.", Xiong Daoyun self-deprecating, hoping that Xia Zhan would be happy and agree to this marriage.

But Xia Zhan was not moved by this, stood up, and spoke very sharply, "I won't say much!" For the sake of Lord Xiong, it is possible to get married, but my second daughter Twilight.".

If you want watermelon but give sesame seeds, Xiong Daoyun will definitely not agree, this can't be delivered." Everyone knows that compared to Miss Xunqiu, it is not a level at all, and Xia Ge is too sloppy, right?".

"Steward Zhen, send off guests!", as soon as Xia Zhan's words fell, he got up and left.

At this time, Steward Zhen came in, stretched out his hand to Xiong Daoyun and said, "Lord Xiong! Please!".

Xiong Daoyun couldn't care so much, and shouted to Xia Zhan who was far away: "Give up such a good son-in-law, you will regret it in the future!", and left angrily after speaking.

Xiong Daoyun came to propose, everyone in Xia Mansion knew about it, and finally it reached Xia Xunqiu's ears, although the result was unsatisfactory, but there was still some comfort in my heart, just like I didn't get what I wanted, but the person I liked did his best, and that was the greatest comfort to my life.

It was Tang Tong's proposal that alerted Xia Zhan that he could no longer let his daughter go. Add people to her, as long as you don't go out of the house, everything is easy to say. The eight rings around Xia Shunqiu are only left in spring and winter. The others were dismissed in order to better control their eldest daughter.

It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles. Tang Tong's proposal to Xia Xunqiu reached Qin Xinyi's ears, Qin Xinyi couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, her mood seemed very low, and she didn't want to talk more.

This was looked at by Baoqin, and took the opportunity to instigate: "The whole flowery radish, fortunately the young lady didn't choose him, otherwise it would make people laugh off their big teeth.".

Qin Xinyi was still thinking about her own thoughts as if she hadn't heard it. Seeing that he hadn't achieved his goal, Baoqin said vigorously: "Then there is this, everyone has already decided to marry, and let people go to propose, it's really daring!".

The waiter on the side couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but retort: "Isn't it okay?" I heard that Xia Xunqiu didn't want to marry, so he must have asked Tang Tong to stir up, and he had no choice but to do so.".

Baoqin knows the mind of the servant, just as the waiter knows his own. I don't think there's any need to raise the bar with her, as long as Qin Xinyi resents Tang Tong in her heart. In Baoqin's view, as long as Tang Tong really withdraws, Zheng Liang will be able to catch Xu Jinglong, and there will be no major obstacles.

"If you really have a young lady in your heart, you won't propose to someone at will, even if it's hypocritical!", Baoqin is still counting Tang Tong, just to arouse Qin Xinyi's anger and truly erase this feeling.

The waiter can't get used to the hypocrisy of hugging the qin, but he doesn't want to argue with it." Miss! Tang Tongdu said that he himself was forced to do so, and it was you who didn't leave a way for him, so he was pulled over by Xia Xunqiu.".

Unexpectedly, Qin Xinyi immediately asked: "How do I know?".

"You know what? What I said was the truth.", the waiter was a little flustered, she didn't expect her young lady to ask herself, and she didn't think about it carefully, so she said casually.

"Have you read the letter to me?", Qin Xinyi shouted louder this time, her eyes fixed on the servant.

The waiter didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and knelt down, "Give me a hundred dares and I won't do such a rebellious thing, I listened to what Xiao Ningzi said.".

Qin Xinyi thought about it, none of the people around her really thought about herself, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart, and she was really disheartened while being sad. Waving his hand, he said, "You all go out!".

The servant, who was still kneeling, knew that if he didn't say anything more, he might not have a chance in the future, so he moved two steps forward and arrived in front of Qin Xinyi." It's not that Tang Tong is ungrateful! Miss's mind never lets people know, Xia Xunqiu is different, she dares to do it, as long as she is a real man, how can she let a woman be in prison?".

Qin Xinyi couldn't help but be touched after hearing this, and fell into thought. Baoqin noticed it, and couldn't let her understand, so she immediately stepped forward and angrily scolded the servant, "How much benefit you have from Tang Tong, and you are willing to work so hard for him, who doesn't say that Tang Tong tends to be inflammatory, and regards women as grass mustard.".

The Zhizhishu did not flinch, but was even more aggressive, and retorted: "What are your intentions, after kicking Tang Tong away, it is easy to deal with Zheng Liang, won't you achieve your goal?".

"What a gift! How dare you speak to me like that?" Hugging the qin and donkey skills are poor, the eldest sister's demeanor is here again, obviously lacking confidence, she can no longer speak to fight back, and stands aside angrily.

The waiter hurriedly comforted Qin Xinyi, "Miss! You can't hesitate anymore, now it's your attitude that matters, otherwise it's really too late!", the waiter's eyes were full of pleading when he said this, and he sincerely hoped that his young lady would be well.

How can a person's personality be so easy to change, it's not that Qin Xinyi is so cold-blooded, there is still someone in her heart who can't let go, but the two people around her don't know. In fact, Qin Xinyi herself doesn't know whether to insist on it or not, but the knot in her heart always can't be untied, and the more she dissolves, the more chaotic it becomes, to the point of confusion.

The two of them quarreled and made this stubbornness in Qin Xinyi's heart burst out, "Don't say it!" None of them are what I want, and it's not uncommon to lose anyone!"...

Qin Xinyi's words surprised Shishu and Baoqin, it turned out that they overestimated themselves and looked down on Miss's obsession, it turned out that she was still thinking about the person who didn't exist. Suddenly, both of them were speechless, and they all spoke in vain.

Tang Tong's proposal did not go as he wished, but it had the opposite effect, Xia Xunqiu was more strictly guarded, and he could not leave the Xia Mansion for half a step. What's even more severe is that Jian Chun was transferred away from his side and replaced with another class of maids, Xia Xunqiu is really isolated, and the news from the outside can no longer come in, as if isolated from the world.
