After Master Xu saw Xiao Yao, he was very happy. Even Miss Xu was too shy to look here, so she just took a sneak peek.
Although Xiao Yao is not as handsome as Duan Jiu, he looks bright and sunny, not as gloomy as Duan Jiu. In comparison, Xiao Yao may be more popular with girls.
Everyone in the Xu family immediately surrounded Xiao Yao, and then handed the prepared groom's clothes to Xiaoyao. Xiao Yao was a little at a loss and quickly signaled to Jiang Fang with his eyes.
Jiang Fang curled his lips, and Xiao Yao said anxiously: "We'll forget it after paying homage. You should think of a solution quickly!"
Master Xu saw that Xiao Yao was a little uncomfortable, so he said: "Young man, you should know the rules after grabbing the hydrangea, right? Our Xu family has prepared everything. Now just change your clothes and worship."
Xiao Yao said: "I know the rules, but is this too hasty today? I haven't informed my parents yet. This marriage is the order of my parents. I must not get married like this behind my parents' backs.
."
Mr. Xu looked embarrassed. In fact, he was so anxious to marry off his daughter because he had dealt with the officers and soldiers stationed there for many years.
During the last discussion, my daughter Xu Ruozhi happened to come back from outside and was looked at by a deputy general, who took her to heart from then on.
Although marrying a lieutenant would naturally make him a good match for the Xu family, it was rumored that this lieutenant was a lecherous person, and the family had already married countless concubines. How could his daughter be reduced to being the concubine of such a person?
But the deputy general is in charge of the procurement of the military camp. If he offends him, he will not be able to do business with this official family. I am afraid that the Xu family will not be tolerated.
But what Xiao Yao said was reasonable, so Mr. Xu said: "If she is my daughter, she will be wronged by the hasty marriage, but since you snatched the hydrangea, then the marriage should not be delayed.
Let's do this. I'll send someone to hurry up and inform the in-laws. Then my daughter will go back to the hometown with you and have another wedding. How about that?"
Xiao Yao said: "I still need to talk to my parents about this matter. Naturally, I will not default on the embroidered hydrangeas. I just hope that Mr. Xu can give me a few days to prepare."
Mr. Xu nodded, and then said: "How about if this lasts for a few days, I will give you three days? After three days, I will prepare to go to the church to get married."
Xiao Yao agreed wholeheartedly, but just when he was about to leave, he was stopped: "Uncle, it's better to stay in Xu Mansion these days, so it's convenient for me to take care of you."
Xiao Yao knew that they were just afraid that he would run away, but he also found it strange that for such a big Xu family, wouldn't it be very simple to marry this young lady off?
Why are you still afraid that a man will regret his marriage? Wasn't there a lot of people fighting for the hydrangea just now? Why is it that the Xu family is so nervous now?
Jiang Fang winked at Xiao Yao and told him to wish for good luck. When Xiao Yao passed by Jiang Fang, Xiao Yao whispered: "It's midnight."
Jiang Fang immediately understood what he meant, then nodded, and watched Xiao Yao being taken away by the servants of the Xu family. The young lady of the Xu family had gone back long ago, and everyone present also followed suit.
scattered.
Duan Jiu asked: "Don't you think it's strange?"
Jiang Fang looked at Duan Jiu in confusion, and Duan Jiu explained: "Although there are many people coming to throw the hydrangea to attract a bride, when the hydrangea is thrown down, it seems to be a competition for strength.
But in fact, no one would actually grab it, they were just joining in the fun. Even standing in the distance, I could unexpectedly fall into my arms with the hydrangeas.
And if the Xu family has a big business, why would they make such a move? It stands to reason that the threshold of the Xu family should be broken by the matchmaker, but just now I was afraid that Xiao Yao would run away."
Hearing what Duan Jiu said, Jiang Fang also felt strange. The group of people looked like they were grabbing the embroidered ball, but in fact they really felt like they were kicking the ball. They mostly sent the embroidered ball away instead of actually grabbing it.
"Does this Miss Xu have some hidden disease? Or is she extremely ugly? That shouldn't be the case. I looked at her from a distance. At least her hands and feet are fine. And everyone says Miss Xu is very beautiful."
Duan Jiu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Even if there is a hidden disease, the Xu family's huge family fortune will still attract a large number of people."
Duan Jiu's words made Jiang Fang vaguely worried, so he said: "Then just go to Xu's house tonight and have a look."
Xiao Yao was taken to a yard. The yard was not big, but it was neat and clean. The items in the house were all available, and there were two maids waiting on him.
Xiao Yao originally wanted to stroll around the Xu family, but was stopped by the guard at the gate of the courtyard. Xiao Yao was a little confused and asked: "I am considered the uncle of the Xu family, why can't I stroll around in the Xu family?"
The guard didn't say the reason, but just said: "Uncle, this is what I want, please bear with me."
At this time, a maid scolded from the distance: "How dare you, who told you to treat my uncle like this? If my uncle wants to walk around in this house, only you dog slaves can stop him?"
After the maid finished speaking, the guard guarding the door of the yard stepped aside. The maid smiled brightly and said to Xiao Yao: "Uncle, this servant is the personal maid Xiliu next to the young lady.
The young lady asked the servant to come and ask my uncle if there is anything else he needs, so I will write it down and buy more for him. I have to live in this courtyard for the next few days."
Xiao Yao waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, I just feel a little depressed and want to go out for a walk."
Xiliu said: "If I don't mind my uncle, Xiliu can take my uncle around this house to relieve his fatigue."
Xiao Yao did not refuse and nodded. It would be better if someone took him with him than being locked up here, but this Xu family always made people feel very strange.
After leaving the yard, Xiliu took Xiao Yao around. In fact, Xiao Yao was not interested in the Xu family's mansion at all. He just wanted to see if he could find anything.
As Xiao Yao was walking, he saw someone unloading goods. It seemed to be the Xu family's warehouse in front of him. This made Xiao Yao curious. The Xu family's warehouse was actually in the Xu Mansion.
"I heard that the Xu family is in the rice business. It should be very busy during the autumn harvest, right?"
Xiliu said: "The master and the housekeeper have been in charge of this all these years, and the servants are waiting in the backyard, how can they know those things?
But when my uncle and the young lady get married, won’t the Xu family’s property belong to my uncle? Someone will naturally explain it clearly to my uncle at that time.”
Xiao Yao knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he changed the topic: "What about your young lady? Speaking of which, I haven't even met your young lady yet."
Xiliu said: "My young lady is well-known as a beauty in this town. My uncle, you are also very lucky. My young lady is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is knowledgeable and reasonable. She will definitely be a good wife in the future."
