Southern Qi Fenghua Record

"What! Proposal? Really? Grandpa Guo really said that?" Yunxi was startled, and started to speak loudly as if his soul had finally returned to his place. The pen in his hand also fell on the desk, splashing a piece of ink.

Xia Houshu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: the words I wrote just now were all in vain.

Yunxi reacted with a whimper, quickly put away the clean paper and put it aside, and then went to tidy up the ruined scrolls, feeling sorry for her but at the same time she didn't forget to gossip: "The Duke has taken a fancy to you!" Which son? Has the girl seen it before?"

"If only I knew." Xia Houshu said dejectedly.

"This is going to be difficult." Yunxi wiped the sweat from being too excited and nervous on his forehead, and continued, "If you know what the Duke is thinking and who the other party is, the girl can at least test that person first." Let’s see if he is worthy of being your future husband-in-law, and cultivate your relationship by the way, so as to avoid the embarrassment of getting married when the time comes.”

Xia Houshu felt as if he had been slapped in the head, his vision was pitch black.

People in the mansion used to say that her thinking was clear and strange, but now it seems that Yunxi's thinking is weird.Dare to feel that she still can't distinguish the situation!In Yunxi's eyes, she was so restless and restless that she was worried about not seeing her fiance who hadn't settled down yet.Why did Yunxi think that she would observe her future husband in advance?Is she that boring?

Thinking that he guessed right, Xia Houshu began to speak nonsense, saying: "Girl, you will marry sooner or later, right? The Duke and the princess have always loved you very much, and the husband and son-in-law they choose for you must be rich." If you are expensive, your character and appearance must be excellent, so why worry about it?"

The more Xia Houshu listened to it, the more he felt that the words were not speculative, so he couldn't help interrupting her: "Don't mention these, I just want my father to forget that there is such a daughter as me!"

It's like they forgot to propose marriage to Xia Houyi.

One of the family rules of the Xiahou family is that daughters should not marry early and sons should not marry early.Specifically, the daughter and Ji did not discuss marriage before, and the man did not marry before the weak crown.Men are even encouraged to start a career before starting a family.

Because of the difference between men and women, it has been less than half a year since she married Ji, and one of the marriage proposals has been officially put on the agenda.And Xia Houyi was only a few months away from turning 20, so the whole family didn't pay attention to his marriage.

This is too unfair!

"Girl, you don't know your blessings in the midst of blessings!" Yunxi gave Xia Houshu a blank look, quite old-fashioned, and completely forgot who was shouting "men in the world are unreliable" a while ago.

"Really?" Xia Houshu leaned over and stared straight into Yunxi's eyes, jokingly said, "Yunxi, I remember you are two and a half years older than me, and your birthday is next month, right? Are you looking forward to seeing me?" Get married earlier so that you can find a husband's family for yourself? Tell me, which man do you fall in love with in such a hurry? If you are willing to tell me, even if I am not married yet, I can make decisions for you. "

Yunxi suddenly flushed with embarrassment, stretched out her hand and pretended to push her, and scolded: "Girl, is this what a girl like you should say? Don't be ashamed!"

"I know if you don't admit it. Look at your little face, which is as red as a persimmon. Isn't that just yearning for spring?" Xia Houshu deliberately teased her, and seeing her getting shy, he kindly said, "Don't worry, you've been with me for so many years , I will definitely find you a good husband’s family! Maybe then you will be grateful for our sister’s love and let me be a godmother or something. Oh, just thinking about it makes me feel so happy!”

"You..." Yunxi was so anxious that he couldn't speak anymore, and directly dropped the work in hand to beat Xia Houshu.

So the two chased around the room like two lunatics for a long time.

After the quarrel was over, Xia Houshu sat down and considered the matter carefully.After talking with my father that day, there was no movement in the mansion, and I didn't hear which official media my mother had invited to the mansion for consultation.But Xia Houshu knew that his father was a man of action, and he always acted swiftly and decisively, and he didn't give anyone a chance to hesitate, because he was afraid that if he was negligent for a while, the marriage would be a certainty and the situation would not be reversed.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. For the next period of time, she couldn't eat well or sleep well all day.

"When do you think the second brother will come back?" Xia Houshu teased the two little thrushes one after another, but the two little thrushes held grudges very much, since she deliberately teased them a few times when feeding them that day After such a long time, he still refused to pay attention to her, and arrogantly tilted his head to look away.

Even the birds are so ungrateful and against her, Xia Houshu was slightly annoyed, stared at them and threatened: "You don't even care about me, do you? Believe it or not, I really drank your stew?"

The two thrushes trembled, and immediately became lively as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"That's good." Xia Houshu nodded in satisfaction, "Don't worry, how can such a kind person like me really stew you? It will definitely make you fat, and it will be delicious when roasted!"

The two thrushes didn't eat the bird food, and ran up and down in the cage crazily.

Xia Houshu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Yes, it's better to move more, so that the meat will have toughness."

The thrush didn't know what to do, but it didn't dare to stop, because it was more terrifying, but the frequency of beating was less.

Yunxi jumped up to Xia Houshu happily like a bird, and saw that she was "heart-to-heart-talking" with the two little thrushes, she didn't take it seriously, but said happily: "Girl, I have good news for you !"

"Did the second brother come back?" Xia Houshu stood up excitedly, eager to see through his eyes. Seeing that there was no threat, the two thrushes immediately drooped their heads and became depressed.

Yunxi glanced at the birdcage, felt sorry for the two thrushes for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's better news than this!"

"Tell me what you have, don't make it mysterious!" Xia Houshu urged anxiously, while imagining all kinds of good things that might happen in his heart.

Yunxi smiled mysteriously, and deliberately said: "A few days ago, the Duke of Ye established a school, and he invited the famous Confucian scholars to teach. The son of the family has gone too!"

Xia Houshu listened quietly, and then asked: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Yunxi explained, "These sons of aristocratic families are either heroic and unparalleled in wealth, or full of talent and promising future. The Duke of the State probably also took a fancy to these, so all of them were invited to the house as guests. Among them are the sixth and seventh sons of Ye State's family, and at the same time, they also invited a few new imperial examination candidates who are quite sacred, isn't this just choosing a husband for you, girl!"

"Is this the good news you want to tell?" Xia Houshu took a deep breath, thinking that if Yunxi wanted to tell her surprises again in the future, she must be mentally prepared, because she was never surprised!

The Zhang family of the Lord of Ye and the Xiahou family are quite close, so she has heard about the eight sons and four daughters of the Duke of Ye. Except for the second and fifth sons who are more flexible in mind, the other sons are like many children of aristocratic families. He is a person with mediocre qualifications and has no achievements. In the future, he will at most rely on his cuteness to be sealed.Ye Guogong runs a school in his own home, probably because he has a large number of children, and it is convenient for them to gather together to teach, and secondly, he does not want people outside to know that his children have different qualifications.As for those candidates, she doesn't know how bright the future is, but they are all civil servants, and the Xiahou family is a family of military generals, so it sounds like a donkey's lip is not right, and my father's handling of this matter is really weird.

Yunxi didn't hear the displeasure in Xia Houshu's tone at all, she blinked her big watery eyes with an innocent face, nodded and said, "I don't dare to say about those children from aristocratic families, but I heard that Prime Minister Wang is a humble man. Courteous, resourceful, and able to reconcile with others, he is the mainstay of the court. The son of the prime minister's mansion must be both talented and beautiful, and a dragon and a phoenix among others. Moreover, the prime minister's mansion and our Yue State mansion can be said to be the same family. It is really a good marriage that is hard to find in thousands of miles! "

Xia Houshu was dumbfounded.These shining adjectives, many people can only get half of them after a lifetime of careful words and deeds. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to put them on the Wang family and his son!

The matter of the Wang family has been somewhat heard of in the noble circles of the capital, but it is not a glorious matter after all, and because of the power of Wang Chonghou and Princess Mingjia, most of them hide it in their hearts and dare not say it publicly.Xia Houyi also found out secretly before telling Xia Houshu, so Yunxi didn't know.

Xia Houshu coughed lightly, and said earnestly: "Yunxi, being powerful and powerful does not mean that he is right with my Xiahou family, and it is not my pursuit in Xiahoushu's life. You just heard that the Wang family has a prominent family background. Have you ever known how the young master of the Wang family is?"

While thinking, Yunxi said, "Ye's family also has female relatives, since you can agree with the Wang family's son to go to their residence to study, I think it's not bad for the Wang family's son to come."

not bad?Xia Houshu seemed to have heard a big joke.If someone like Wang Yukun, who is arrogant and shameless, is not bad, there are too many people in the world who can be called living Bodhisattvas.Just thinking of the evils Wang Yukun has done, she wished she could find a dark and stormy day, when he came home drunk from some dog pen, secretly beat him up, and then called People stripped them and threw them into the livestock pen.Let people all over the capital come and laugh at him.

A thing that is not even as good as a beast deserves to be compared with her?

Xia Houshu gritted his teeth and said angrily, "If I'm allowed to marry into his family, I'd rather become a nun!"

Yunxi thought that Xia Houshu was just joking in anger, and didn't take it seriously, but instead said earnestly: "Girl, even if you really don't want to marry, you don't have to curse yourself like this."

What's so good about being a nun, isn't it the same as when Xia Houshu was practicing in Boyun Temple?At the beginning, she was crying and shouting to go home, she didn't want to stay in Boyun Temple any longer!

After hearing Yunxi's words, Xia Houshu couldn't help but tapped her on the forehead, hating to be iron-clad and said: "A person who is ignorant of learning and skills, commits all kinds of crimes, and is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. If it were you, would you marry me?" ?”

"I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be such a person. Alas, what a pity." Yunxi gave such a dumbfounding conclusion after hearing Xia Houshu's roar.

The prime minister and general, with one article and one military, can be called the right arm of the monarch. In terms of official positions, they are indeed well-matched, but when it comes to being well-matched, that is not necessarily the case.Xia Houshu thought about it, but still felt that he couldn't sit still like this. If his father and Yunxi thought of going together, wouldn't there be no way out?

She looked up at Yunxi and asked, "Where are they now?"

"It's in the front garden!" Yunxi replied.After speaking, I felt that Xia Houshu's expression was not quite right, and asked cautiously: "Miss, do you want to go and see for yourself?"

"Otherwise?" Xia Houshu glanced at her, "Didn't you tell me to choose a husband-in-law for me? I can't go and have a look?"

"It's better not to..." Yunxi whispered, "All the foreigners who came here, the Duke of the country knows that I will beat you to death if I tipped you off."

"What are you afraid of?" Xia Houshu clicked his tongue, "Don't father know that you can't stop me at all? I'll go and see what else he can do to me?"
