I don't know how long it took, there was silence in the Hefeng Hall, and Gu Ruosu could only hear a pair of new swallows outside the window of the Hefeng Hall happily falling on the tree, chirping, as if they were rejoicing in their newly completed nest and the bride/groom they had married.

"Changbai, how did you meet? I remember? You've only seen me once...... Noodles. Gu Ruosu was the first to speak, and then when he said this, Gu Ruosu's voice suddenly weakened.

"Back to grandmother's words, the first acquaintance between the grandson and the sister of the Hai family is indeed at the grandmother's place, although the two of us met for the first time that day, but at a glance let the two of us remember each other deeply, can't take our eyes off, want to understand her, know her, know her joys, sorrows, and sorrows......"

"Grandmother, grandson seems to know how you felt about love at first sight with your grandfather." Xie Changbai didn't look like a little stuffy gourd at the moment, but like a certain plant pea from a game that Gu Ruosu once played, babbling and spitting "little peas" from his mouth.

Gu Ruosu sighed secretly in her heart again [Spring has arrived~ It's the season of recovery of all things~]

"But are you interested in each other? If it's unrequited love, you come to me and ask me to be the master, it's not good~ A man or a woman can do anything, but you can't force others in love. ”

Biyun Zanglan glanced at each other, and then thought in unison: [Are you really sure about my ancestor, you wanted to force Grandpa Guo to worship with you when you tied the man directly back to our mansion. ］

After Xie Changbai heard Gu Ruosu's words, his face was quite anxious, and he hurriedly explained: "Grandmother, grandchildren are not such people, grandchildren know that love must not be forced, but I have exchanged letters with my sister of the Hai family for a while, and I have exchanged gifts more than ten times.

Even...... The two of us also talked about poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting together in the courtyard, which was quite suitable.

I think...... It's not coercion......

"So, the two of you can be considered happy?"

"Hmm......" Xie Changbai lowered his head and blushed and whispered.

Gu Ruosu sat on the chair, constantly stirring the white rice in the bowl, not knowing how to deal with this kind of thing.

Since ancient times, love and love cannot be decided by one's own opinion, love and agreement are the most important, but what is the right person, economic foundation, etc. are also factors that cannot be ignored, even in her time, not to mention, is the current era?

Although Xie Changbai is a cultural person and was also born in a wealthy family, but the word "concubine" is like a chasm, which is difficult to cross, and the eldest son of the humble Bai Ding, the unfavored biological mother, is matched with the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, Even if the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion is not favored and is ruined at home, but to be honest, this is really a lot of climbing......

But the two are already in love...... She really can't do the thing of beating mandarin ducks...... After all, she thinks what could be more important in this world than a sincere relationship? What's more, Xie Changbai is not a person without talent and ambition, and Xie Changbai's development is just a matter of time......

Come to think of it, since the eldest daughter of the Hai family is willing to get along with Xie Changbai, she also has an understanding of Xie Changbai's situation, talent, ambition, etc., if the two can be together, it is not reluctant.

"Zanglan, you go to Haowen's daughter-in-law's house, bring Haowen's daughter-in-law and her nieces and nephews, and say that I have something important to look for her." Gu Ruosu thought about it for a long time, but in the end, he still had more pity for Xie Changbai than reason, and as soon as he was ruthless, he asked Zanglan to invite someone.

Although Zanglan felt that Gu Ruosu's approach was a little thankless, he still obediently answered yes and personally took someone to Xie Haowen's wife Hai's yard.

Hai is sitting in the main room of Caiwei Hall at the moment, lighting incense, tasting fruits, drinking spring tea, listening to Hai Huanting sitting in front of the screen playing "Yangchun White Snow", and from time to time using a fan to correct the needlework of Xie Yi who is embroidering with a bitter face and hatred.

"You kid, let you embroider a peony, what do you embroider, others are lifelike, you look at yours, you can barely take it out, I'm embarrassed to tell people everywhere, this is what we embroidered with the second daughter of the Xie family."

"Hmph, then don't take it out, who asks the girls of our Xie family to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, those people don't want to marry me because I am not good at embroidery, then I don't want to marry! Short-sighted, there are so many embroidery girls at home, and I want my wife to personally go down to make spring and winter clothes for the family!? Xie Yi pouted unhappily and said.

"You kid! If I say one sentence, you can top me ten sentences! I don't know who it looks like! Why did I teach you so unruly~" Hai Shi angrily and funny took the fan and knocked Xie Yi's head twice.

"Look at your sister Huanting, born in the Hou Mansion, her appearance is good, and the embroidery work is even more first-class, just this guqin that your grandfather and grandmother think is not good, and now she has only come to our mansion for a while, and she has already played it vividly~"

"Look, look~ This is what everyone looks like, you have to learn hard." Hai Shi lit Hai Huanting with a fan, and used this to educate Xie Yi.

"Sister Wan Ting is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can't learn it if I want to, if you like it, mother, just ask for it to be a daughter-in-law for your brother~ Anyway, cousins are not unable to get married~"

"What are you talking about! There's really no one to put a door on! When Hai heard Xie Yi's words, it was like a cat being stepped on by its tail, and the hair on his body seemed to stand up, and he reached out and slapped the back of Xie Yi's hand, Xie Yi whimpered, and then covered his little hand in distress, which shows that Hai Shi was really angry.

"Meaning sister is really joking, although I admire a young talent like Cousin Changyu very much, but I also understand that when my cousin marries a wife, I naturally have to marry a woman with both ability and integrity, so that she can be a clan wife, and she will continue to be the heir of the clan with her. Seeing this situation, Hai Huanting hurriedly stopped the "spring and white snow" in her hand, stood up, saluted, and said unhurriedly.

When Hai heard this, he was naturally quite happy, and immediately felt that Hai Huanting was a good boy who could distinguish the importance of the matter, and said with a smile: "It is exactly, where in this world there will be brothers and sisters together." Speaking of this, he also glanced at the very ignorant thanks.

Then, he continued: "But you are a good child, in the future, there will definitely be a good marriage, turn around, when you get married, my aunt and I will definitely give you a good gift." ”

Hai Wanting smiled and thanked Hai's deep kindness, and praised Hai's well-behaved and pleasing praise for Hai's parenting, gentleness and virtuousness, and each cousin and cousin are the dragon and phoenix among the people who are one in a million, and the blessings are profound.

Listening to Hai's heart, for a while, the atmosphere of the room was really harmonious.

And at this moment, Qiao's mother came to report that Gu Ruosu's side Zanglan personally came to invite her and the Hai family to go to Hefeng Hall together, saying that they had something important to discuss.

When Hai Shi heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and then, he glanced at Hai Huanting, and said mercilessly: "It seems that you and my aunt and nephew have underestimated our little master, and it is really not easy to say that the ancestor can open his mouth for him." ”

"What my aunt said is that they are all the first to be nieces, and they are tired of my aunt now."

"Forget it, forget it, you and I are both aunts and nephews, what are these vains, you and I will go and clean up separately, let's go to see the ancestor together, it's not good to lose the rudeness, but act faster, don't let the ancestor wait for a long time." Hai Shi held the fan and said in a soft tone, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

"Mother! What are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything? What little master? What grandmother? Could it be that cousin, you don't marry my brother, but you marry my cousins next to me? Xie Yi looked at Hai Shi and Hai Wanting who were about to leave, and hurriedly asked.

"You are a child, why do you ask so much, don't be curious about things you shouldn't know, don't be like your uncle, curiosity kills cats, do you know? If you don't have a cat protector now, don't make a fuss~" With that, Hai Shi took Hai Huanting and left the main house, leaving a question mark on his face.

After Hai's left the main house, he sent Hai Huanting to hurry back to clean up his son, and Zi'er walked slowly towards his son's house with the support of Qiao's mother.

"You said that my niece and nephew look well-behaved, but she is stupid and stupid and will cause trouble, I asked her to get along with our sixth master day and night, she is good, she looks down on other masters in our house, who is not good, and she also looks at the eldest son of the second room, what kind of identity is that?

It sounds better, it's our Duke of the Xie family, but after carefully crushing it, the biological mother is humble, and now I don't know where to accompany the wine, and the biological father and grandmother don't care about him, how big is the person, and there is no fame on the body, if it is not now raised by the side of the two ancestors, in the future, I want to say that the girl of the Zhuang family is at most, where can it be regarded as a good match? As he spoke, Hai's sharp eyes were looking at the water-raised begonias placed on the edge of the corridor, and among the bright begonias, there were some sluggish begonias for some reason, so he stepped forward and pinched off the begonia flower.

"If the flowers don't bloom well, they have to be trimmed, although my niece didn't come out of my belly, and she is not close to me, but she can't write two sea characters in one stroke, and I, as an elder, naturally have to advise her."

"Madam, you have good intentions, and I think that in the coming days, the old lady and the uncle will also thank you for your deep kindness." Qiao's mother opened her mouth at the right time to praise Hai's virtue.

"It's just a little bit of effort, but speaking of this, thanks to you, if you hadn't paid attention to the two personal girls who came to my niece's side back and forth in our yard and my mother-in-law's yard, I really wouldn't have found that my niece often went to the garden quietly, saying that she was relaxing, but she brought something new, and every time she brought something new."

"The cousin girl is simple-minded, and it is common to make some mistakes occasionally, as long as the cousin is willing to change, we are still a family with Hemeimei, madam, you are an elder, where is it embarrassing to worry about the cousin girl."

"Heh, this little girl had better really listen to persuasion, a few days ago, I asked her what she thought, and she always avoided me and trivialized, which really worried me."

"Later, Madame, you will accompany your cousin to the old lady to share a story or two, and I think you will soon be able to know what your cousin thinks."

"Hmmm......"

Gu Ruosu waited in his yard for about two teas, and then the Hai family and Hai Huanting entered the house together with the navy.

"The daughter-in-law asks her mother for peace, and her mother is well."

"The junior Haijia Huanting asks the ancestors for peace, and the ancestors are healthy~"

"Get up, get up. Sit down and talk to me. ”

"Yes." Hai's and Hai Huanting sat under Gu Ruosu successively, while Xie Changbai got up and saluted Hai's, and then sat opposite Hai Huanting, her face was pink, she didn't dare to look at Hai Huanting directly, she only dared to quietly pretend to look at Hai Huanting inadvertently with her afterglow.

"Mother's body is better today, the wind and cold can be big or small, mother, you have to take good care of your body." Hai looked like a good daughter-in-law and said with concern.

"Okay, you are a filial person, you have to take care of your body every day."

Gu Ruosu and Hai's cooperated tacitly and cared for each other a few times back and forth, but Gu Ruosu never forgot the purpose of calling Hai's to come this time.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, health matters, it's not too late to discuss it when you and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have free time, this time, I still have a big thing I want to talk about with you." Gu Ruosu hurriedly found a gap, stopped the greetings, and went straight to the topic.

"I wonder what Mother said?"

"That's the case, today, Changbai came to greet me, I chatted with Changbai'er casually for a moment or two, but something happened in casual chat."

"Oh? I don't know what's going on? ”

"That's it...... You see, Changbai is also older, Changbai should also reach a good age to say goodbye, and my second child and I are also interested in finding a good daughter-in-law for Changbai, but it is a coincidence, Changbai has some opinions on this matter.

Your niece Wan Ting has lived in our house for a long time, and often comes to ask me for peace, Changbai, is it also a filial child, the two children come and go but become familiar, young boys and girls, it is inevitable that some small situations will happen, and it is also human nature. ”

"Mother, what do you mean......" Hai said, pretending not to understand.

"What I mean, I just want to say that the two children are of the same age, and they have reached a good age to say that they are married, and the two children also have some affection for each other, and they would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, what I mean is that these two children have been fulfilled, you are the elder of the child Wan Ting, so I want to come to you and ask you what you think." Gu Ruosu stubbornly expressed his purpose.

"What my mother said is that it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, and if the two children are in love, it is really a very good thing.

Can...... But my daughter-in-law is not the biological mother of my niece, and it is not easy to call the shots if I want to come to my daughter-in-law, but my niece's own mother went early, if my niece is willing, it is not impossible to come to this matter, but not mother, let's ask my niece first. As he spoke, Hai smiled and shifted his gaze to Hai Huanting.

And Hai Wanting felt the eyes that were gradually attracted to her, and she also understood that this matter had to be explained by herself.

So, under the gaze of everyone, Hai Huanting slowly stood up, blessed her body, and finally, glanced at Xie Changbai, who was eagerly eyed, turned her head, and said to Gu Ruosu:

"The little daughter of the Hai family thanks the ancestors for their kindness, but I am afraid that the ancestors will be disappointed, the little daughter of the Hai family only has brother and sister feelings for Brother Bai of the Xie family, and there is no love between men and women...... The little girl is deeply sorry......"

As soon as Hai Huanting's words came out, the room was silent, and Xie Changbai could only be heard dropping the tea bowl in shock, and then, he wanted to reach out to pick up the pieces, but after being stopped by his subordinates, he sat back on his seat, but he was not sure, and the sound of sitting empty and then falling to the ground.

"Sister Huanting, what are you talking about......" Xie Changbai looked at Hai Huanting incredulously and said.

"I said, Brother Changbai misunderstood...... I only have brother and sister for Brother Changbai, and there is no love between men and women, so Brother Changbai still don't want to entangle...... Although I really want to be close to my brother, but there is a difference between men and women...... Please also ask Brother Changbai...... Self-respect ...... in the future" Hai Wanting took a breath, closed her eyes, and then opened her eyes, her eyes were clear, and she said seriously and ruthlessly in the face of Xie Changbai's unbelievable eyes......
