Xu Qing was sitting on the stone table in the yard. There was a tray next to the stone table, and there were various small tools on the tray.
Xu Qing was tinkering with a wooden plug. He poked it with a needle, then changed a tool and dug lightly.
After Xiao Ruxue finished feeding the fish, she went to the martial arts field to find Su Qian.
Xiao Ruxue can never take a break and is always full of energy.
Xu Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to modify the wooden stopper.
Suddenly, a gust of cool breeze blew by, making Xu Qing feel refreshed. When he raised his head, he realized that it was Xuan'er, a little maid, holding a cattail leaf fan and helping to fan him.
Xu Qing smiled at the little maid, then lowered his head and continued to ponder the plug in his hand. Finally, after digging left and right, several small holes appeared on the plug.
Xu Qing put down the tool in his hand, picked up the toilet water on the side, put the stopper on it, and turned it upside down, but the toilet water would not leak out.
But the smell of toilet water can evaporate from the bottle, and in an instant, a few pesky mosquitoes run away.
Xu Qing handed the toilet water to the little maid and said, "Put it in the brocade bag around your waist and let the bottle mouth leak out to try."
The little maid put down the cattail leaf fan and replaced it according to Xu Qing's method. Her little nose moved, and her whole body was obviously filled with the refreshing scent of toilet water.
The little maid said happily: "It seems to be much easier to use than the mosquito repellent sachet."
Xu Qing said: "Don't put this kind of toilet water in a small room, otherwise you may not be able to sleep."
The lady ran away with Xiao Ruxue, and in the end she discovered that it was the little maid who was the most caring and fanned her.
Alas, the world is deteriorating and people's hearts are no longer ancient.
After continuing to enjoy the cool breeze from the little maid's fan for a while, Xiao Ye walked in. Xu Qing knew that he could no longer enjoy the comfort of the little maid's fan.
Xiao Ye showed a strange melancholy expression on his face today. This was the first time that this expression appeared on his face. This made Xu Qing a little curious and unhappy. There were a whole bunch of dandies in the capital lining up for him to fight. He had
What's so melancholy?
It's really strange.
After sending the little maid away, Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye sitting on the stone bench and asked doubtfully: "Brother Xiao, what happened to you today?"
Xiao Ye picked up the cup on the side and took a sip of water. He waved his hand and sighed: "Oh, forget it. My father said today that I am not too young and started to urge me to get married."
"Married?" Xu Qing was slightly startled: "With whom?"
Xiao Ye sighed and said: "The legitimate daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang."
"Xingyang Zheng family?" This name is very familiar to Xu Qing. The Minister of Household Affairs of Xingyang is the Xingyang Zheng family. There have been two prime ministers in the past and there will be another prime minister in the future. It is also a century-old family with a profound foundation.
The influence of several state capitals surrounding Xingyang cannot be underestimated.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, my senior brother actually raised a daughter in a boudoir and wanted to marry Xiao Ye?
No wonder other ministers used their daughters to win over him, but this minister of household affairs did not do so. His love had already been found for his daughter.
If Xiao Ye marries the daughter of the Minister of Hubu, and the Minister of Hubu calls him his junior brother, then what should Xiao Ye call himself?
Isn’t it true that the Crown Princess is somewhat considerate and calls her “Uncle Master” in a symbolic way?
For no reason, he is a generation higher than Xiao Ye!
Too much punishment!
Moreover, the Chu State is now in a state of turmoil, and a war is about to break out. Now that the wise king has asked the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang to marry Xiao Ye, it is equivalent to tying the Zheng family in Xingyang and Hubu into a boat, which can also greatly
Strengthen the control of the prefectures around Xingyang, and then consolidate the rule of the wise king in the Chu Kingdom.
If you think about it this way, it seems that Xiao Ye was dragged into a disguised marriage, but it was with a native, not a foreigner.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye's melancholy expression and guessed: "Could it be that the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang is not good-looking? It doesn't matter. When the lamp is blown out, the quilt will look like that."
"Besides, the appearance of the Minister of Hube is not bad, so the daughter born will not be too ugly."
Yes, in all dynasties and generations, being an official is not just about being talented, but also good-looking. Those who can reach the official position of Minister are all handsome men.
There is absolutely no such thing as ugly.
Therefore, this potential heir apparent cannot be ugly. Not only cannot she be ugly, but she should also be very good-looking.
Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "I have seen her portrait just now. She is absolutely worthy of the beauty of the country. She is called a lady, and in terms of appearance, she is only slightly inferior to the young lady."
Look at his humble appearance, his little mouth is like honey, and he is getting better and better at talking.
This made Xu Qing feel very comfortable. It seemed that Xiao Ye, who was already preparing for marriage, had an inexplicably high emotional intelligence.
Xu Qing was obviously very happy and said: "In that case, what are you worried about, Brother Xiao? Didn't Brother Xiao say that he likes pretty people at the beginning? Since he is pretty enough, why is Brother Xiao so melancholy?"
Xiao Ye sighed and said: "What's the use of being beautiful? Brother Xu, you said in your storybook last time that marriage should be based on mutual consent, you and I, and there should also be a beautiful love and eventually marriage.
The palace of love, this is great love."
"Now, I am married to her fingertips. How can it be considered a great love?"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment as he looked at Xiao Ye, who seemed to have transformed into a philosopher, and suddenly looked at Xiao Ye with admiration. Could it be that the first person who dared to resist an arranged marriage in a feudal society was born from this?!
But whether it succeeds or not, this counter-attack may be beaten badly by his old father.
Xu Qingdao: "Brother Xu also wants to have a great love?"
Xiao Ye nodded.
Look at this incompetent person. I don’t know who said it at first. There is only one condition, she is beautiful. Now there is a pretty and shameless lady, eagerly waiting to marry you.
time, and now I’m thinking that there’s still a great love left, why did you go there so early?
But Xu Qing couldn't persuade him to escape from this damn arranged marriage and pursue a great love.
If Xu Qing really dared to persuade Xiao Ye to run away, King Xian would dare to come over and throw bricks into his yard in the middle of the night.
Xu Qing looked at the melancholy Xiao Ye and said, "Actually, Brother Xiao, you can also start a great love after getting married."
Xiao Ye, who was originally looking melancholy, was slightly startled when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Is this still possible?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Of course, didn't my wife and I get married first and then have a great love?"
Xiao Ye asked doubtfully: "Wasn't it a fake marriage at the beginning?"
Xu Qingdao: "Wouldn't it be true if you just pretend? Moreover, as the chief experience officer and someone who has experienced marriage first, dating later, I realized that there are great benefits to getting married first and then falling in love. Brother Xiao, do you want to know?"
The melancholy on Xiao Ye's face suddenly turned into curiosity, and he asked: "What's the benefit?"
Xu Qingdao: "That is, no matter what the process is, this relationship is definitely a 100% successful relationship. There is no need to worry about breaking up because of inappropriateness. It is 100% avoided to be sad and cry bitterly due to breakup.
