The way the two brothers express their deep affection is by joking with each other. Sometimes you kick me and I slap you. It's lively and very interesting.
Sheng Fu stood aside with a smile, and beside her stood a three-year-old girl with fair skin and beautiful eyebrows. This girl was her and Li Yu's daughter, and her name was Ying.
Sister Ying was very sharp-tongued and quite precocious. When she met her uncle, her eyes widened and she asked her mother in a low voice: "Mom, how come this uncle looks exactly like my father?"
The two brothers have different temperaments, but their looks are very similar. Sister Ying was dumbfounded for a moment.
Sheng Fu was amused by her daughter's childish words, and explained patiently and gently: "Your eldest uncle and your father are twin brothers, and they have looked the same since childhood. When you were born, your eldest uncle was not in the capital, so you
Never seen him."
Sister Ying said in surprise. Her tone was raised, playful and cute.
It made everyone laugh.
Li Qin squatted down enthusiastically and spoke to his little niece whom he met for the first time: "Are you Sister Ying?"
Sister Ying nodded in agreement and politely called out: "Hello, uncle."
The pretty girl has a cute and soft voice that makes people feel pain in their hearts.
Li Qin smiled at Sister Ying and stretched out his hands: "Sister Ying, be good, uncle."
Sister Ying, like a young adult, frowned in embarrassment: "Uncle, mother said that no man can hug me except my father."
Li Qin: "..."
Seeing his brother's deflated appearance, Li Yu laughed unkindly, picked up his daughter, and kissed Sister Ying hard on her tender little face: "My Sister Ying is so good and obedient!
"
Sister Ying held her father's neck with one hand, wiped the saliva from his face with the other hand, and whispered: "Stop kissing me with saliva all over my face."
On the side, Fang Ruomeng, Sheng Fu, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled and bent over.
Li Qin was also amused. Seeing the proud look on his brother's face that "having a girl will make everything possible", his heart finally turned sour.
If he had gotten married early, he would now have a gentle wife by his side and a well-behaved and lovable child!
…
That night, Li Mansion held a family dinner.
Mr. Li Ge had not seen his great-grandson for several years. After the family banquet, he called Li Qin to the study. He told Li Qin how to become an official. After talking about the business, Mr. Li Ge said again: "Brother Qin, you
It’s time to start a family.”
yes!
A graceful woman's figure flashed in Li Qin's mind, and he felt a faint pain in his heart, but more of a sigh and a sense of sadness.
Sheng Rong married into the Chu family for a few years, and she and her husband were on good terms, and now they have a son and a daughter.
What is missed is forever missed.
It’s time for him to get married and get a wife!
After returning to the yard, Fang Ruomeng came over with a midnight snack.
Li Qin looked at his mother, who had a few fine lines on her forehead, and felt quite guilty: "Mom, my son is unfilial and has been willful and willful in the past few years, which has made my mother worried."
Li Qin is tall and tall, a head taller than Fang Ruomeng.
Fang Ruomeng raised his head and looked at his son, frowned and said with a smile: "I am your mother. If I don't worry about you, who should I worry about? Brother Yu is already married and has a harmonious relationship with the princess. Sister Ying is smart and lovely.
.Now I only hope that you will get married soon!"
Li Qin was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Mother will decide everything!"
Listen to this tone!
Fang Ruomeng smiled and rolled her eyes at her son: "If I had ignored your wishes, I would have arranged a marriage for you long ago. Why wait until now? Getting married is a lifetime event. You have to find someone who is outstanding and satisfying."
Li Qin is the eldest great-grandson of the fourth generation of the Li family. He passed the Jinshi examination at a young age. He has a family background, talent, appearance, and good character. It is certainly not difficult to find a good marriage.
The difficulty is that the conditions of the daughter-in-law in Fang Ruomeng's eyes are too high...
Li Qin was very familiar with his mother's temperament. Seeing Fang Ruomeng's meaningful smile, he immediately guessed: "Which girl has your mother fallen in love with?"
Fang Ruomeng didn't hide anything and whispered: "It's Xie Zijin."
Li Qin: "..."
Li Qin was not surprised, but looked surprised: "Mom, are you kidding me?"
Thanks Zijin!
Of course Li Qin knows him.
That was A Luo's direct cousin, and A Luo often took her with him. They had been studying in the palace for several years, and naturally they had met little Xie Zijin.
However, he was six years older than Xie Zijin. In other words, when Xie Zijin was seven or eight years old, he was already a young man and already had a girl he admired in his heart...
When he left the capital, Xie Zijin was still a little girl who had not grown up. Therefore, when Fang Ruomeng mentioned it, a little girl's face suddenly flashed in his mind.
Then, Li Qin's handsome face darkened a little: "Mom, I'm six years older than her! If nothing else, it's just that my age doesn't match her."
Fang Ruomeng retorted unceremoniously: "All the beauties in the capital who have not yet decided to get married are all from the families of girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old. You are not a good age match for anyone!"
Li Qin: "..."
Li Qin was so choked by his mother that he almost couldn't breathe. After a long while, he choked out another sentence: "Anyway, she and I are not a good match."
Fang Ruomeng rolled his eyes: "Don't you think Xie Zijin is just waiting for you to propose marriage? Let me tell you, Xie Zijin is now the chief clerk of Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace, a sixth-rank official, and a confidant of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.
Going to Xie's house to propose marriage is like a Qing across the river. Although I like her, I don't dare to say that the proposal of marriage will be successful. I estimate that I am only 30% to 40% sure. For this, I have to be brave enough to ask the queen to be a matchmaker.
Let’s see if you are lucky.”
Li Qin was struck speechless again.
After a while, Li Qin sighed: "That's all, I just listen to my mother."
Fang Ruomeng nodded with satisfaction: "Tomorrow I will go into the palace to pay my respects to the Queen and find out what the Queen has to say."
…
At the end of each year, the harem is always very busy.
As the empress of the middle palace, Xie Mingxi has to be busy with the trivial affairs of the harem. She has to review the accounts of the various schools, charity shops and workshops outside the palace for a year, and she has to take care of Brother Hua every day. She is really busy.
Fang Ruomeng and Lin Weiwei brought each other into the palace to pay their respects and presented them with one year's accounts.
When Lin Weiwei saw Brother Hua, she beamed with joy, held her grandson in her arms and talked closely.
Fang Ruomeng took advantage of this moment and laughed in a low voice: "Queen, I have something to ask of you."
Xie Mingxi put down the account book, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "If you have anything to do, it's okay to say it."
In front of everyone, Fang Ruomeng spoke very tactfully and implicitly, not mentioning Xie Zijin at all. He only said that the eldest son's marriage was undecided and he wanted to ask the queen to be the matchmaker.
Xie Mingxi has a keen mind and knows the elegant meaning after hearing the song. She stepped back and asked directly: "There is no need to mince words between us. Which girl from the family have you fallen in love with?"
