The second uncle, the eldest of the Xiao family, lay on the recliner and closed his eyes to recuperate.

He is already very old, but he still holds the power of the Xiao family, and he is still the anchor of the Xiao family.

It's a pity, he probably can't see the revival of the Xiao family, remembering that when the family was separated, if everyone helped Xiao Chenyu, would he continue to study, maybe now they are all masters.

Alas, it's all his life, it's really a little bit out of it.

His son Xiao Zunian walked in, bent down and asked, "Dad, take care of the land where Yanzi and Liu Xi built a house, it is next to Liu Xi's house, next to Liu Xi's house, so you can take care of it." ”

The second uncle closed his eyes and nodded slightly: "It's okay, let the old six family watch it, and the swallows can be more behaved." ”

Xiao Zunian's face was not good, and he only said "um" lightly.

"What is your daughter like, you know best, we said to the outside that we were splashed with dirty water by others, and how we actually deceived outsiders, but you don't deceive yourself. I helped her for the sake of the Xiao family's century-old reputation, you warn her, don't keep it again, and next time, I will break her leg and drive her out of Xiaojia Village. ”

"Dad, I know, don't be angry, be careful of your bones." Xiao Zunian is also a man in his forties, bending over cautiously in front of his father.

When the second uncle took the key, he handed it to Xiao Zunian: "You go and get twenty taels of silver yourself, this is for their little couple to repair and build a house, save some money." ”

After thinking about it, he told again: "Liu Xi, this kid is a little wild, you can't blindly suppress him, otherwise it will be Yanzi who suffers." ”

Xiao Zunian took the silver out, looked at his father, and returned the key, and was just about to find someone to repair the house and build a house, when he saw the second daughter-in-law and daughter Yanzi coming back one after the other.

He arranged for these two people to meet Liu Xi, because he had no bottom in his heart, so he asked them to reconfirm Liu Xi's attitude.

Who knows, the second daughter-in-law did not mention Liu Xi's matter, but said that there was a strange scholar in the archway.

After the second daughter-in-law finished speaking, the second uncle also got up from the recliner and walked towards the archway neatly.

Xiao Zunian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to support his father, and Yanzi and Sister-in-law also followed again.

When Liu Xi was still bored in bed and pretending to be sick, the sixth aunt pushed open the door and rushed in, holding Liu Xi's hand and about to walk out, Liu Xi was defenseless and almost ripped off the bed.

However, he was a young man after all, and as soon as he reacted with force, he broke free of his mother's hand, and asked impatiently, "Mother, what do you want to do?" ”

The sixth aunt turned around, sat on the straw bed, her eyes were red with anger, and her eyebrows were upside down and she scolded: "That swallow is really not a thing, no one wanted to try to marry you, but now it's good, you have agreed, our two families are discussing how to build a house, but their family actually brought a man home to live." ”

Liu Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Mother, is this related to my family?" ”

"Of course, last night I heard that their family welcomed a scholar back to live, I was a little unsure in my heart, I went to their house early this morning to ask about the marriage, but who knows, their family only said that there is something important at home, and I will talk about it in a few days. Hmph, they were the ones who were anxious before, but now they are the ones who are pushing back. ”

Speaking of this, the sixth aunt frowned and looked at Liu Xi, and said worriedly: "Son, I'm worried that this marriage will be yellow, what should you do!" ”

Liu Xi was happy in his heart, listening to his mother's worried words, that joy was gone, he looked at his mother fixedly, and asked in disbelief: "Mother, I don't have to marry Yanzi, aren't you happy for me?" ”

The sixth aunt sighed heavily, rolled up her sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "My mother has no ability to marry a wife for you, let alone build a house for you. ”

Yes, I have everything, a house, and a daughter-in-law, but all of this is not what Liu Xi wants.

Liu Xi felt deeply tired in his heart, and looked at his old mother and couldn't say a word of reproach, thought about it, and said, "Mother, I'll go to town." ”

The sixth aunt looked puzzled, not knowing what her son was doing in the town? Now it's time to go to Yanzi's house to settle the marriage, but Liu Xi ignored her nagging and ran away quickly.

When Liu Xi found Qin Xun's house, it was already noon, and he was embarrassed to come to the door at lunchtime, so he waited outside until after noon and then knocked on the door.

Qin Xun invited Liu Xi into the hall and sat down, and Lian'er helped serve tea and went out with the orchid.

"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, I didn't come to your wedding, the first time I saw my sister-in-law, I didn't have anything to get my hands on, this is the musk I got in the mountains a few years ago, give it to my sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't dislike it."

Qin Xun smiled: "I happen to lack musk, this came at the right time, how could I dislike it?" ”

Liu Xi knew that Xiao Chenyu married a young lady in the town, and thought that she was difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect to be so easy to talk to, and his nervous and restrained expression eased a lot.

"The second brother said that if there is a change in my family affairs, I will come to my sister-in-law to ask, so I came to my sister-in-law."

Then there was a scholar in the village, and he was invited to the house by Yanzi's family as a guest.

He asked uncertainly: "I don't know if this is a family affair?" ”

Qin Xun said indifferently: "You can bring a box of pastries from me later, a bag of candy back, and go directly to Yanzi's house to propose." ”

Liu Xi was shocked: "If she doesn't want to forget it, I will also come to the door to propose, this, what if they agree again?" ”

Qin Xun smiled and said, "If you are in a hurry, Yanzi may be even more reluctant to marry you." What's more, she now has a better goal, and she is most afraid that you will disrupt the situation, you can rest assured, their family will probably not agree to your marriage, and it is impossible for you to take this opportunity to finalize the family affair. Otherwise, if the other party drags on for a few days, if it doesn't work out there, you will be remembered again. ”

"Oh, I see, it's just a promise not to marry me." Liu Xi suddenly realized.

"Not only that, you can even make a fuss and ask for a little compensation, otherwise, won't you be beaten in vain and locked up for a few days? And your reputation has been tarnished by their family. ”

Liu Xi frowned and thought for a long time, and asked Qin Xun hesitantly: "Their family said that they would marry Yanzi to me to build a house, and now that the marriage has failed, they can't give me these." ”

"There is no land or house, so there must be some silver to compensate." Qin Xun smiled and said: "No matter what woman is not willing to marry a ruffian scoundrel who has nothing but is still short-tempered, it would be better if she could get away with a little money." ”

Liu Xi originally wanted to say that he was not such a person, but when he saw Qin Xun's meaningful smile, he instantly understood what she meant, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Qin Xun to thank him.

Qin Xun said again: "Other scholars may not be able to stay and marry Yanzi, so don't drag on your affairs for too long, the so-called striking while the iron is hot, do you understand?" ”

Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, and a bold idea was about to come out, could it be that the scholar was the person found by his sister-in-law?

Orchid reluctantly sent pastries and candies, Liu Xi reached out to take her but let go, Liu Xi was very surprised, the woman in front of her was as tall as herself, but she pursed her lips and stared at the pastry like a child, her eyes were very reluctant.

Qin Xun saw the clue on the side and said, "Orchid, you give it to him first, and you can buy some later." ”

In this way, the orchid let go.
