Lin Ruoxi looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you fall depressed and sick because your second uncle was going to choose a son-in-law for your sisters during the new exam?"
"Ah?" Xie Songhua was stunned again, "New Course? Exercise? Choosing a son-in-law?"
"It was the news revealed in the front yard. It was reported yesterday morning. At night, I said you can't get up. I thought you were unhappy when you heard this news and became sick!"
Xie Tu's words made Xie Songhua laugh and cry, "I just dressed less when I went out. I was caught in the cold for a while and wanted to cover myself in the house. I haven't heard of anything outside!"
When the three of them saw her say this, they were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't know what to say.
Xie Wenyuan reacted and quickly smiled and said, "I'm just saying it! You don't think you are the kind of person who is prone to keeping things in your heart and getting sick, why is it so fragile this time? But what do you think after hearing this?"
This happened a little suddenly. Xie Songhua thought about it carefully after hearing this, and after a while, he said: "To be honest, I... haven't thought about this problem, but..."
She paused and said, "By October this year, I will be sixteen. According to the custom of Daqi, most girls' families are engaged at the age of sixteen and married at the age of seventeen. Whether I am happy or not, I will probably decide the marriage this year.
What's more, there were so many things that happened before, and I decided earlier and stopped the rumors outside earlier. Compared with the children of the meritorious families, I think it's a good idea to choose a scholar."
Her words made Xie Wenyuan smile and nodded, "Good boy, it's right for you to think so. Although these tests come from all over the world, since you can reach the stage of the imperial examination and even the palace examination, it means that at least the book is well read.
Being able to reach the mortal test at a young age means that either the person is particularly smart enough to achieve such results, or the family background is particularly strong and has been gaining great success in books since childhood.
No matter which one it is, it is extremely rare. As long as I keep my mind calm, I think it is better than finding a prince or noble. I think this is good with my second brother."
Xie Tu and Lin Ruoxi were both still unmarried girls, and they looked a little embarrassed when they heard this.
Xie Wenyuan took the opportunity to educate a few children, "What about this person! The most unfavorable thing is that he has short-sighted eyes and can only see the small space in front of him. Some people and some things seem to be in bloom, but he doesn't know that climbing high will lead to heavy losses. The more glorious it is, the more dangerous it is."
The three young girls nodded repeatedly to show their education. Xie Wenyuan smiled and patted Xie Songhua on the shoulder, "Since you are not happy, we will not disturb you here. Have a good rest and go out early, so there is no way for people to gossip behind their backs."
As expected, Xie Songhua heard her and appeared in Shou'an Hall the next day as usual to pay tribute to the old lady. His face was full of energy and he could not see any surprise.
"Your second brother is coming out in a few days. Everyone remembers that when he comes back, don't ask him how he is doing in the exam. Everyone just gathers together with talking and laughing. The exam has been completed every day and every day. After working hard for such a long time, it is rare to relax."
Everyone hurriedly said yes, Xie Sihua smiled and said, "The ice on Taiye Lake has melted. I heard that the forsythia on both sides of the straits are also blooming. When the second brother comes out, let's go out to row together! Buy a boat in advance and let's put our own family."
Yu was about to scold Xie Sihua and thought it was the same, but the old lady smiled and said, "It's better to be careful with Qiya. It's time to go out for a walk. Now spring is coming, so you young people should not be stuck at home. Let's forget about us, go by yourself! Just remember not to be naughty."
Xie Li said: "Seventh sister didn't think about going out for a lake together. She wanted us to celebrate her birthday!"
The others then remembered that Xie Sihua was her birthday in February, and everyone started discussing it lively again.
Xie Sihua joked that everyone would give her a gift. After a while, she asked for the snacks made by Aunt Xie Li, the purse embroidered by Tu, and then asked for the fragrance that Lin Ruoxi had just burned.
Xie Songhua smiled and said, "It's better for me, I can't do anything. Sister Qi wants me to find nothing."
"Then I can't let you go to Sister Four. I've already thought about it," Xie Sihua said honestly and politely, "Don't think I don't know. The balm that Sister Six is applying now is the recipe you gave. I asked her last time, but she said it was you who said it, and you can't use it randomly. She said it was your explanation, and everyone's skin is different.
Anyway, I don’t care. Since Sister Six has it, I want it too. Look at my chin, I don’t know what this is. If this piece grows, it’s not easy to apply powder.”
Xie Songhua heard this and indeed looked over, "You are silent, it's a bit troublesome."
When the others heard this, they all looked over together. Xie Li hurriedly said, "The fourth sister also sees me and help me make a prescription..."
Xie Songhua smiled and said, "Okay, okay, everybody will be pasted when I go back. If I have a broken face, I won't blame me if I can't get married."
The girls' house was full of fun, and the old lady sat on her head and smiled on her face.
The old man likes to look at his children and grandchildren as he is old.
The others were all happy together, and Xie Shuhua, who was sitting there, seemed a little out of place.
Originally, a few days ago, the sisters were still having sex with her, especially Xie Li, who was always afraid that she would be used to being afraid of her. When she saw her neglect, she would deliberately bring a few words of her words.
But who knew that Xie Shuhua was sarcastic and had no words to listen to, so now no one takes her.
Xie Shuhua was immediately angry as Xie Songhua was joking with other sisters, as if he was a small center.
These sluts who were trying to change their minds when they saw the wind knew that Xie Yuncang and the old lady valued Xie Songhua, so they all went to curry favor with her.
Do you really think she is a miracle doctor? She doesn’t care if she wants to apply a prescription for her face, and she is really not afraid of disfigurement.
I thought so in my heart, but seeing Xie Songhua as if he was so watery, I still couldn't help it. "Don't make things too difficult for the fourth sister.
After all, it won’t take long, and the fourth sister should start preparing to embroider wedding dresses. She is the embroiderer who doesn’t know how long it will take to embroider, and where will there be time to study so many prescriptions for you.”
Her words made the scene cold. Everyone was a girl who was not married. Now this is not the time when the sisters talk in private, and there are elders present. How could they talk about the marriage so much?
The old lady immediately sank her face. Over the past few days, she finally once looked on Xie Shuhua's face, "If you can't speak, don't say it, when did your father or your mother tell your fourth sister about the marriage?"
Xie Shuhua didn't look panic about this attitude towards the old lady. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and showed a puzzled look, "Hey? I didn't? I vaguely heard that my father intended to choose a son-in-law for his fourth sister in the exam.
Before the exam started, I saw the fourth sister hiding aside with a scholar in the corridor and talking. She looked very jealous, not a relative of our family. Later, I learned that it was coming to see the third uncle's exam, so I thought it was my father who spoke to the fourth sister and had already chosen a husband!"
