Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "I will definitely take you with me when I have the opportunity." After hearing Fang Xiaoyu's promise, Xia Tingyun smiled and took his arm, looking very affectionate. Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Xia Tingwei's heart trembled for no reason.
pain.
Not noticing the change in Xia Tingwei's mood, Fang Xiaoyu sat there and introduced his feelings: "I have been floating at sea for the past two years, and I am a little uncomfortable returning to land. But fortunately we are on a navy supply ship.
Yes, that ship is very big, and it is a large warship with a steam engine. It is not only very stable, but no pirates dare to attack us." Xia Tingwei then said, "I heard that you were kicked out of the staff by grandpa, right?
Really?" Xia Tingyun said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? I'll go find Grandpa to intercede with you." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "No, it's good for me to go to the army to exercise like this. You can see that I am better than before.
Much stronger."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly. Now that he wanted to become a lord, it was a secret. He didn't dare to tell Marshal Xia Jun's true purpose.
Quite a few." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Of course, I spent so long blowing at sea and training in the army." Xia Tingwei frowned slightly and said: "Isn't it very hard in the military camp? Otherwise, let grandpa
Let’s switch it up.”
Fang Xiaoyu quickly changed the subject when he saw that the two girls were about to mention the matter just now: "There is no rush to be transferred, I am fine in the military camp, but haven't you guys gone to the clothing store opened by my eldest brother recently? I drew a lot of patterns for him after I came back.
, they are all new clothes." Fang Xiaoyu didn't say what he said later. Many of the clothes he drew were low-cut clothes. He was afraid that he would make the two women shy by saying it. When Fang Xiaoyu talked about clothes, the two women's attention was diverted.
, they chattered about the materials and styles of various clothes in front of Fang Xiaoyu, which made Fang Xiaoyu feel dizzy and secretly cursed himself for being stupid. Isn't it bad luck to wear fashionable clothes with women?
Shopping and buying clothes is indeed a magic tool for dealing with women. The three of them chatted for a long time, and Fang Xiaoyu regretted changing the topic to clothes just now. Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu didn't speak for a long time, Xia Tingwei suddenly stopped chatting with her sister and turned to her.
Xiaoyu said: "Let's have dinner at my house today. My mother has been talking about you lately."
After saying this, Xia Tingwei felt a little regretful and secretly cursed herself for being reckless. She was so blushing that she didn't dare to see Fang Xiaoyu again. Unlike her sister, who had a verbal agreement with Fang Xiaoyu that was approved by both parents, she was afraid that due to her sister's relationship, she would not be able to see Fang Xiaoyu again.
There is no fate in this life. Thinking of this, Xia Tingwei felt bitter in her heart and turned a little pale.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't see Xia Tingwei's face. He considered whether he should stay. Fang Xiaoyu was still a little hesitant about eating at Xia's house. Although Fang Xiaoyu had lived for two lives, he had never been in love. He was a little angry when he thought about meeting his parents.
fear.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't see it, which doesn't mean Xia Tingyun didn't see it. When she noticed that Xia Tingwei's face was not good, she asked with concern: "Sister, why do you look so bad? Are you uncomfortable?" Xia Tingwei shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I
Just take a rest and you'll be fine." After hearing Xia Tingyun's words, Fang Xiaoyu raised his head and discovered the problem: "Do I need to find a doctor?" Xia Tingwei said: "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy suddenly, just rest for a while." After resting for a while,
, seeing Xia Tingwei's face turning rosy again, Fang Xiaoyu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
"You must pay attention to your health and treat any illness as soon as possible, otherwise I'd better hire a doctor for you." Fang Xiaoyu said with concern. "Bah, you are the only one who is sick. Don't curse my sister." Xia Tingyun glared.
Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Hey, I'm just concerned, just concerned." Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's concerned words, Xia Tingwei couldn't tell whether it was bitter or sweet.
Naturally, we had dinner at Xia's house. Fang Xiaoyu, who was sitting on pins and needles, always felt that Liu Aiping was looking at him. After not seeing each other for a few years, Xia Tingyun also got very affectionate with him. She kept picking up food for him. Liu Aiping also asked this and that, but Xia Tingwei was the only one.
They ate in silence without saying a word. Seeing Xia Tingwei lowering her head, Liu Aiping asked with concern: "Weier, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
." Liu Aiping looked at Fang Xiaoyu with meaningful eyes, then at her two daughters and said, "Then go back and have a rest first."
Looking at Xia Tingwei's retreating figure, Liu Aiping sighed. The so-called "knowing daughter" Mo Ruomu, how could she not know her daughter's thoughts? Unfortunately, the engagement between Fang Xiaoyu and Xia Tingyun was made by Xia Jun himself and Fang Rui, and it could not be changed at all.
What's more, Xia Tingwei is two years older than Fang Xiaoyu, so even if the Fang family wants to change, they may not agree.
Liu Aiping looked at Xia Tingyun who was busy picking up food for Fang Xiaoyu. It seemed that her youngest daughter also liked Fang Xiaoyu very much. This matter was really difficult to handle. No wonder Fang Xiaoyu was so outstanding. Although she was optimistic about him back then, she didn't expect him to be so fast.
Rise, he had just started such a big career as a teenager, and now his two daughters have fallen in love with him, which is really difficult to handle.
After several people finished eating, Fang Xiaoyu was drinking tea, and Liu Aiping said: "Xiaoyu, I'm going to discuss with your mother to decide on the marriage of you two this year." Fang Xiaoyu just took a sip of tea, and when he heard Liu Aiping's words, he suddenly
He choked the water into his trachea, causing Fang Xiaoyu to cough non-stop. Xia Tingyun, who is usually more lively, blushed after hearing her mother's words and said: "Mother, how can you say this in front of me? I don't care.
You." Then she stood up in shame and ran away quickly.
Fang Xiaoyu, who finally regained his breath, said: "Aunt Ping, this seems too fast." Liu Aiping said: "You are almost fourteen years old and you are still young? Besides, we are just getting you engaged, not getting married." Fang Xiaoyu nodded.
"Okay, let's go back and discuss it with our families." Fang Xiaoyu, who had never encountered this before, didn't know what to say. He also secretly thought that Wang Xiangxing was really precocious and got married at the age of thirteen.
They were everywhere, and it was already too late. Liu Aiping glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Weier, what are you going to do?"
"Ah?" Fang Xiaoyu was unprepared and was stunned for a moment. Liu Aiping sighed and said: "I understand what Wei'er is thinking. In fact, she likes you just like Yun'er. The palms of her hands are also fleshy, and the backs of her hands are also fleshy.
It's really embarrassing for me." Looking at Liu Aiping who was sighing, Fang Xiaoyu wanted to comfort her, but he no longer knew what to say. Liu Aiping said: "If you have a chance, help me persuade Wei'er, after all, she is still young.
, and you will meet someone you like." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said vaguely: "I will try to persuade her when I have time." Somehow, when he agreed to Liu Aiping, there was a faint pain in his heart.
At this time, Xia Ziqing walked in. He saluted Liu Aiping and said, "Aunt, grandpa would like to ask if you have finished eating. If so, grandpa would like to invite Fang Xiaoyu to come." Liu Aiping nodded and said to Fang Xiaoyu:
"In that case, you can go." Fang Xiaoyu, who was sitting here and was extremely embarrassed, felt like he was being pardoned. He quickly saluted Liu Aiping and left with Xia Ziqing.
After walking out of the restaurant, Fang Xiaoyu let out a sigh of relief. This matter was really troublesome. It would be nice if he wanted to do both. He turned to Xia Ziqing and said, "What do you call Aunt Ping?" Xia Ziqing explained with a smile: "
Because I am also a member of the Xia family. Our Xia family is different from your Fang family. Your Fang family has a small population, so it doesn’t matter if we all live together. Our Xia family is a big family with many branches and a large population, so we are all
If we live separately, only direct members of the main family can live in the Xia Mansion. I belong to the side branch, but our family's blood relationship is relatively close to the main family. My grandfather is Marshal Xia's biological brother, so I naturally want to call my wife my aunt.
Already."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded secretly. He had always wondered how a big family that has existed for hundreds of years only has such a small number of people. It turns out that this is just the main family, and there are many side branches. Fang Xiaoyu asked: "How many people are there in the Xia family's side branches?"
Xia Ziqing said: "This is too much. Even if you don't have five generations of blood, there are probably more than 3,000 people. If you count it since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are probably more than 50,000." Fang Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue in fright after hearing this. Oh my God.
, this is 50,000 yuan. My family only has a few dozen people. This big family really needs time to accumulate.
The two of them arrived at Marshal Xia Jun's study while talking. Xia Ziqing naturally did not dare to go in without the Marshal's summons, so she could only wait outside the door. Fang Xiaoyu approached Xia Jun's study by himself. Entering the study, Xia Jun was taking
Wearing his reading glasses, he looked at a military map on the wall, which was a 500,000-to-1 topographic map of the northern border of the Lanfang Empire. Fang Xiaoyu walked into the room, and Xia Jun said without looking back: "Here you are.
