He Wenyu heard what his mother Zhu said and shouted: "Auntie! Why don't you listen? The girl I want to marry is also a daughter of the Xiao family! How can she be my concubine? Although she is a concubine, she is also Xiao from Nanlanling.
The concubine of the family is taking someone as a concubine. Does our He family have such great dignity?"
"Can these two Xiaos be the same? Can the two concubines be the same? Ah? Can they be the same?"
"What's the difference? If you think it's a loss, wouldn't it be better if I married two of them?" He Wenyu said without hesitation.
"Bang!" Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she couldn't speak. She picked up the teacup at hand and threw it at her son's feet.
"Shut up! You shouldn't be allowed to go out today! You don't care about brotherhood, and you don't listen to your parents' orders?"
He Wenyu was startled by his mother's reaction. He jumped to get out of the way of the broken porcelain. He was also very angry. He flicked his sleeves and said: "If you don't marry me to someone I'm satisfied with, I won't marry you. I won't marry you."
Talk to grandma!"
Then walked away.
Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she almost fainted, and the maid next to her was busy again.
"Come...come here, call all the boys around Erlang. I want to interrogate him properly!"
"Here!"
He Miao, who came to the main courtyard in a bamboo sedan to pay homage to his mother, happened to see Mrs. Zhu torturing the boy, beating the whole yard to the point of crying and howling. He Miao asked the servants and found out that it was his brother who was causing trouble every day who was angry with his mother.
After He Miao heard what happened, he felt extremely strange. With his brother's experience of being around the world all the time, how could he be so fascinated by Xiao Shulian that he would look at her for thousands of years?
The twins of the Xiao family are indeed quite pretty, but they are far from being the most beautiful people in the country. Why do they become the Goddess of Luo in their brother's mouth? Don't be mistaken, right? To say that they are the most beautiful in the Xiao family now.
Flirty, that should be that hateful Mrs. Lin.
"Auntie, is there something wrong with this? Xiao Shulian doesn't look so attractive!"
Zhu said with a cold face: "It's not important. No matter who the fox he saw in Taolin today is, he won't be a noble person. Don't even think about entering my house."
Not to mention that the He family was in a state of uproar due to He Wenyu, but the Xiao family was quite happy.
Both parties were very satisfied with today's blind date. Although the hero and heroine did not meet each other, as long as the identities were suitable and the elders saw eye to eye, it would be fine.
Since ancient times, marriage matters have been dictated by the parents and the matchmaker.
Although Xiao Shulian bears the surname Xiao, she is a concubine who has been separated from the branch, and there is not much room for choice in the marriage market - unless she is willing to marry into a poor family.
Although the He family she was going on a blind date with this time was not among the eight great families in the south of the Yangtze River, they were still very powerful in Qiantang and Hangzhou, and they were considered local snakes.
Moreover, He Wenqi himself is also very motivated. He is now working as a clerk in the county government. Compared with other clan members who are just hanging around in the clan or running errands for direct descendants, he is much better. He is a potential stock.
This is also the reason why the Yuan family chose him as the husband for their concubine, because the eldest brother of the Xiao family has no one in the officialdom. The second brother has gotten into the officialdom because of his shamelessness, and the eldest brother opened a private school in his own house to teach.
, mainly relying on the shops and fields left in Qiantang by our ancestors, as well as the old lady’s dowry private property.
Their family came all the way from Jinling to Qiantang, and their foundation was unstable. They needed to establish a good relationship with the local He family. Getting married was the only way for the nobles of the Tang Dynasty to stay together, and it was a blessing for He Wenqi to marry Xiao's daughter. It was a win-win situation.
.
It is impossible for He Wenqi, as a collateral branch of the He family, to marry a real daughter of the Xiao family. There is hope for marrying a legitimate daughter of a collateral branch of the Xiao family, but the Yuan family refuses.
Yuan's careful teaching of the concubine comes in handy at this time. Although there are differences between the concubine and the concubine, she wants to give people the illusion that the Xiao family's daughters are treated equally.
The female relatives of the He family were also very satisfied after meeting Xiao Shulian. The two young ladies of the He family who were sent out to socialize also praised the future sister-in-law. Daughters from big families know etiquette and know how to advance and retreat.
Therefore, after coming down the mountain, everyone already had a tacit understanding that the He family would soon choose a good day to invite a matchmaker to their door.
Of course, this must be done smoothly.
Xiao Mansion, Bamboo Garden, in a dark room, a candle was burning quietly.
Xiao Yixun sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at his extremely pale face in the bronze mirror expressionlessly.
After a long time, she suddenly looked in the mirror and said to herself: "Did you run out again? Are you up to something?"
Naturally, the silent bronze mirror would not give her any answer, and the mute woman standing in the corner would not respond either.
Xiao Yixun looked at the bronze mirror with an indifferent expression. After a moment, he stretched out his fingers as white as ice and snow, slowly stretched them out in front of the bronze mirror, and poked the eyebrows of the shadow in the bronze mirror.
Once, twice, three times...
After poking tirelessly for a long time, under the night, the only sound left in the whole room was a "duh-duh" sound, which was a little permeable.
Listening to this voice, the mute girl had goosebumps on her arms, but she still stood motionless behind her master, like a stone sculpture.
The last mute girl who interrupted her master's thoughts when she was deep in thought has been sent to the "village".
It was no ordinary farm, but a black glove with a well-connected family. Those who entered were stained with blood and narrowly escaped death.
In the guesthouse of Ge Xian Temple, Lin Wanwan and Huanong prepared a table of delicious dishes. Lin Wanwan even traveled through time and space and went back to modern times to buy soy sauce beef and Guyue Longshan rice wine.
Although this place is Taoist, there are many sects in Taoism. There are no rules about vegetarianism or renunciation here, so there is no taboo against eating wine and barbecue here.
Who doesn’t love good food and wine?
Warming rice wine on the small red clay stove, enjoying a sip of wine and a bite of beef with soy sauce, it's just like being a god.
"Little guy, your wine is good! This beef is also cooked to perfection, and it takes only a few years to make it!" Mr. Cao got a little drunk and started talking more, "Where did you buy this wine?
Give me a few more bottles."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "Back to Mr. Cao, you can't buy this wine outside. My master brewed it himself."
"My master is really a god, he knows everything. I am ashamed that I have never heard of his name. There are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the mountains and fields." Mr. Cao said while moving the remaining wine bottle to his side, "You
As a little girl, don’t drink wine, eat vegetables, eat vegetables quickly! Your Silla maid’s craftsmanship is quite good.”
After eating and drinking, Lin Wanwan took Xiao Qingyu's hand and sent Mr. Cao and Lu Zhaolin down the mountain to take a boat.
Xiao Qingyu was in a very low mood to be separated from her playmate who had been so obedient and knowledgeable to her these days.
Even Lu Zhaolin's eyes were red: "Sister Qingyu, there are many mountains and rivers here, so I hope you will take care of yourself."
Xiao Qingyu stood on the dock and waved to the people on the boat: "Brother Zhaolin, come to my house to play when you have time. I have many, many toys!"
Lu Zhaolin's eyes gradually became wet and he nodded vigorously. These days in Qiantang County were the happiest times in his life.
Mr. Cao was nearly ninety and had already taken everything lightly. Shi Shiran sat in the cabin, watching his children say goodbye reluctantly.
