Xu Yanxin was shocked when she saw her mother bringing Mrs. Lu.
She also thought that Aunt Xu or Mrs. Zhang said something that caused her mother to take Mrs. Lu here for temporary shelter.
While pouring tea for the two of them, she wanted her mother to give her some hints.
Who knew that her mother had been laughing cheerfully, which made her so confused that she could only look at the two of them with an incomprehensible expression.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lu didn't tease her, and quickly said: "This is the case. Pei Shan told me and his master that he is happy with you and wants to invite us to come and propose marriage to him. But this matter is too abrupt. We
I'm afraid you won't want to, so I want to ask you first."
"Don't be impatient, think about it slowly, and then tell us after you have thought it through. But if you have any dissatisfaction with our Lu family or Pei family, you can also say it. Don't be too shy, otherwise it will be wrong in the future."
Xu Yanxin was stunned, naive and completely at a loss.
How could it be so fast?
Why so fast?
Do marriages always happen so quickly?
Bah! It’s not about getting married, it’s about getting married!
It doesn’t seem like they are talking about getting married, but talking about getting married!
Big head!! Flustered!! And a little scared!!!
Her cheeks were red and uncomfortably hot. She looked at Mrs. Lu's eyes, which were so bright and warm, with a hint of expectation, but there was no urging.
She just smiled slightly, with a gentle expression, as if she was silently encouraging her, but did not interfere.
At this time, she already had some courage in her heart, so she turned to look at her mother.
Fortunately, my mother was also happy. There was light in her eyes, and there was a faint mist in her eyes.
Mother agreed. Indeed, Pei Shan was much better than Zhang Jingzhi.
He is still so young, he already has an official position of the fourth rank, and he is still in charge of affairs in the East Palace.
The prince gave him a house, and the emperor would make an exception for him. Even the eldest princess, who was so protective of her shortcomings, gave up trying to trouble him again and again.
Now, even Mr. Lu, who never likes to go out to socialize, is willing to visit Xu's house for him and propose marriage. Mrs. Lu is also so gentle and considerate, for fear that she will make an impulsive choice.
But how can you be impulsive? There is no impulsiveness!
She was just glad that she had liked that clean boy a long time ago, glad that she listened to her grandmother and got to know him better, and glad that she had the courage. The moment Pei Shan was willing to come closer, she bravely stepped out.
That step.
During this period, even if you take one less step or take less initiative, it won't work.
Because the former Pei Shan was perfect in her eyes, she probably never dared to think about how she could marry that calm, gentle and considerate person with her own shortcomings and lively and active personality.
Xu Yanxin lowered his gaze and nodded slowly.
She clearly saw two drops of crystal tears falling, as if they were falling on her tense and expectant heartstrings.
Until Mrs. Lu happily held her hand and said excitedly: "That's great. Since we agree, we can rest assured."
"Otherwise, that silly boy Pei Shan will ask us to find another opportunity to talk about it again. His master said that there are times when he is not thoughtful and stupid. But don't worry, he will not change his words and intentions."
Mrs. Hu happily wiped away her tears. She had three daughters, but the youngest did not have her father around when she got married. She had been worried and felt very guilty.
But now, she feels satisfied.
When his daughter married into the Pei family, the people around Pei Shan were very nice, and Mrs. Lu was so sensible and considerate that she would not embarrass her daughter.
So, what else does she have to worry about?
Mrs. Hu told her daughter: "You have to think clearly. If you agree, you can't go back on your word. Mrs. Lu is very good to you, and Pei Shan is also very good. Because of this, our Xu family cannot be dishonest people, let alone do damage."
The person who is engaged."
Xu Yanxin nodded. This time, she raised her gaze and looked at her mother, her eyes particularly firm.
The fearless little girl will leave the harbor of home and go to unknown distances.
But isn’t life like that? Move forward unswervingly and bravely pursue your own happiness, so that everyone around you can be happy for you!
Mrs. Hu laughed and touched her daughter's forehead like she did when she was a child, but said nothing more.
On the other hand, Wang Xiu, seeing their mother and daughter being so emotional, wiped her tears and said, "Isn't this a happy event? Why am I crying?"
"Oh, don't worry, Pei Shan couldn't be better. If it doesn't work out, it's okay to ask him to marry into your wife. I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Mrs. Hu couldn't help laughing. With Pei Shan's current status, even if he really wanted to, the two masters of the Xu family would not agree. However, this is the attitude of the Lu family and Pei Shan, which is enough to prove that they are very
Cherish your daughter.
There is no marriage more satisfactory than this one. Mrs. Hu took Wang Xiu's hand and said, "Mrs. Lu, thank you for your respect for words and heart. But don't worry, I know that the daughter I raised is kind-hearted, smart and studious.
She is also a housekeeper, so she can take good care of Pei Shan."
Wang Xiudao: "Between a husband and wife, if one person is good, it is not good. Two people are considerate to each other, and that is really sweet. Since we elders have no objections, and they young people like each other, then we will discuss it carefully and see what happens.
When will the wedding process start?"
When Wang Xiu said it to the end, he was already looking forward to it!
Mrs. Hu smiled and said: "Everything should be done according to ancient etiquette. Our Xu family has no other requirements."
Wang Xiu immediately smiled and replied: "My dear, please be considerate of me when the time comes. I'm not very familiar with ancient rituals, so I have to go back and find someone to ask."
Mrs. Hu blushed when she was called, and a smile overflowed from her eyes. However, her mouth moved, but she did not say anything to refute.
After a while, she thought about it and reminded her: "It's okay, just find two steady nuns to help."
Wang Xiu agreed: "What you said makes sense, but I'd better ask the eldest princess for help. She has many people under her command, and Grandma Lu is very powerful."
As the two of them talked, they left Xu Yanxin behind and went to Mrs. Zhang's yard.
Xu Yanxin looked at their backs as they left together, and was so anxious that she was spinning in circles. Was she following? Or not?
Does it seem like you are too impatient to follow?
Is it okay if I don’t go with you? Wouldn’t it be very rude?
Oops...what should I do?
Just when Xu Yan was distressed, Xu Xiao came and smiled from a distance: "Oh, when did our Xu family become a hot pot?"
Xu Yanxin asked anxiously: "What hot pot?"
Xu Xiao, who came closer, joked: "What's the point of hot pot? You're running around like an ant here, what do you think?"
Xu Yan stomped his feet in embarrassment and said angrily: "How long has it been since then? Brother is still joking?"
Xu Xiao suppressed his smile and said with a look of relief: "Isn't everything settled? The rest is the matter of their elders. They will arrange it. Why are you in a hurry?"
"Embroider the wedding dress carefully in the room. If it's done, try it on as soon as possible. If it's too big or too small, change it. Don't be unable to wear it when the time comes, and you don't like the one you bought outside. What should you do if you don't like it?
"
Xu Yanxin hummed: "No way, I'm not fat."
After saying she wasn't fat, she looked at her waist and lifted up her skirt again, as if she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to wear it!
Xu Xiao laughed so hard that she even doubled over.
Xu Yanxin became angry with embarrassment, and punched his arm twice, and said shyly: "You are still laughing, you are still laughing, are you still not my biological brother?"
Xu Xiao was stunned and her laughter slowly stopped.
Xu Yanxin seemed to know that she had said the wrong thing, and cautiously called him: "Brother..."
Xu Xiao stood up straight, pursed her lips, turned back and rubbed the broken hair on her forehead and said: "Brother is your biological brother, how could he not be?"
Xu Yanxin was obviously relieved when he heard this.
She took Xu Xiao's arm and gently leaned her forehead against it, like a puppy, indescribably pitiful, yet very cute.
At this time, she added: "I know you don't like me that much, and maybe you don't like mother that much, but we both grew up in the back house, so we are a little less broad-minded and knowledgeable, and we did do it right at the beginning.
It doesn’t look like it.”
"But ever since you moved in, I've known that you are my brother and will be for the rest of my life."
"My mother said the same thing. She said that if she could get to know you earlier, she wouldn't have such a fierce quarrel with my father."
"pity……"
Xu Yan felt so regretful.
But Xu Xiao knew that his regret was that he knew that all this would have to go through endless arguments, painful tearing, and despair after being frustrated before he had the opportunity to step into the Xu family.
This pity is a pain that Xu Yanxin will never understand or feel.
But to her, he is her brother, her biological brother, and this will never change.
Just like the sand in a pearl oyster, it has been sharpened layer by layer and finally emerged as a smooth and white pearl. The bright and bright luster seemed to tell him the moment it appeared that he no longer had to suffer so much.
All the burdens have come to an end.
Xu Xiao felt a soreness in his chest and his eyes were extremely hot.
He looked into the distance, trying to force back the tears, but in the end his heart softened, and the tears overflowed his eyes, and he could only wipe them away calmly.
But he didn't know that just when he raised his hand, Xu Yanxin's eyes darkened, and the hand holding his arm became tighter.
Xu Xiao seemed to be aware of it. At this moment, his eyes washed by tears were extremely clear, just like his state of mind at the moment.
Looking at his sister who was so attached to him, and thinking of his aunt secretly asking about the interesting stories of the girls from the aristocratic family, and then pretending to be casual and telling him over and over again, all the haze was suddenly swept away. He was really relieved, and
Let it go.
No matter how Xu Xiao was in the past, Xu Xiao should be Xu Xiao now.
Only in this way did he truly feel that he was alive, and not like a walking corpse, looking at the world with cold eyes, being pulled numbly by his limbs, as if it would never end.
