"I wonder why I can't find you anywhere! It turns out you are here to cause trouble!"
Everyone here was surprised by An's first words. They were not reproachful.
Looking at Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Yu, they didn't seem to see much anger. Xie Wenyuan even stepped forward with a smile to cut the hair of her daughter and several nieces.
"Look at how crazy you are, your clothes are all wet!" Ms. Yu still whispered to her daughter, but there was no blame in her tone. Instead, she asked with a smile, "Where did you catch it?
Show me!"
Xie Sihua's heart immediately relaxed, and then he carried his bucket over with a bit of pride, and the look on his face barely included the words "praise me now".
When Anshi saw this, she turned to look at her two sisters-in-law, "Well, let me win! I said, this must be our Xiaoqi's home court."
Hearing this, everyone laughed, and the emotion that Xie Sihua always made bets had its origin.
Compared with the girls of the Xie family, the few new scholars were obviously more reserved when meeting the ladies of the Xie family.
At this moment, each of them tidied up their clothes and hats, and then came up and bowed in a proper manner.
During the recent period, the Qi family seemed to have lost their focus on competing with their sisters-in-law, and usually let the An family take the limelight.
But this time, she got ahead of An. "We are all young people. It's normal to have fun. It won't be long before you all go to work. I'm afraid it's rare to have such an opportunity."
Then he turned to Xie Langhua, "When did you come? We don't even know! These people are..."
Xie Langhua felt relieved and introduced them one by one.
The girls of the Xie family were now standing behind the three elders, completely different from the crazy look they had just now.
"From now on, you will be officials in the same court. This friendship is rare, so you should take care of each other more."
When Mrs. Qi said this, Mrs. An's face looked a little light.
After all, these people are not his son's classmates, and they have nothing to do with their eldest brother.
"I think we should go for a walk on our own! Let them play as young people, they are all well-mannered children, and they are under our noses. If we stop here, it will make them restrained."
The person who spoke was Mrs. Yu. She always remembered the old lady's instructions to her, and knew that she intended to choose a husband for Sister Xie Songhua among these people.
Mrs. Qi was actually a little unhappy after hearing her son's introduction. Xie Yuncang gave him three names in total, and they are all here.
The one with the best family background was just a fifth-rank idle official in his family. Fortunately, his family was still in the capital, but this child was released.
Originally, the Qi family had the highest hopes for Mr. Shang, but it turned out that the one with the most unattractive appearance was the one here.
Another one is the son of a county magistrate in Shandong, and the other one is actually a businessman.
How can she choose among such people?
Her original idea was that Xie Shuhua could marry into the royal family, and even be a mother-in-law in the future!
Even if there is no way to marry the prince, it should still be the palace of Hou Men. You must know that even the young prince Ye Rongshi was not in her plan.
And now...
She looked at the young people walking away over there, feeling indescribable disappointment in her heart.
At this time, An sighed quietly, "You are still so young, and you are already a second-ranked Jinshi! Your future is limitless!"
As he spoke, he pretended to be envious and said: "The second brother and sister are really lucky. One daughter can be two mothers-in-law. In the future, the son-in-law will be filial and comfortable!"
Mrs. Qi was immediately so angry that her heart ached. This Mr. An didn't have any other skills. He just used his mouth to kill people, which was really hateful.
If it were normal, she would have made some insinuations about Xie Qionghua's sick wife being unable to marry.
It's just that now that I'm so worried about Xie Shuhua's marriage, my previous strong will has faded a bit, and now I'm not interested in it and I don't want to pay attention to it.
"Although when you go out, you don't have to follow the rules so much, but after all, they are young children. Our elders follow us from a distance. Even if someone sees them, they can't say anything."
Xie Wenyuan smoothed things over with one sentence, and Mrs. Yu quickly helped, "Yes! Although our children have always behaved well, it would be bad if they started to make trouble now. If we don't have a sense of propriety, we might offend someone.
It's all your fault. The evil star of my family doesn't speak lightly or seriously. Among Brother Lang's classmates, there are also several children from ordinary families. If he doesn't speak carefully, he may offend him.
No one knows either."
Yu's words were just for the occasion. No matter how fast and outspoken Xie Sihua was, he always knew how to behave in front of outsiders.
Nowadays, there are so many people traveling together. Although she talks the most among the girls, she mostly asks about Brother Lang and the familiar Mr. Lan and others. The others who are not familiar with them only occasionally chat with each other.
They were all well-educated and well-educated people, even though there were a few from ordinary families who were very curious about girls from their families, their gazes were regular and they all walked together with their companions.
Soon, the group of people felt somewhat clearly divided. The boys and girls were divided into two camps, with Xie Langhua in the middle.
But as I keep talking, I can still get to one point.
For example, Mr. Su, who came from the south of the Yangtze River, originally came from a merchant family. Although his family was fairly well off, he was somewhat embarrassed in front of the Xie family.
But after talking for a while, I found that neither Xie Langhua nor the girls from the Xie family showed any sign of looking down upon him, so they gradually let go of the conversation.
Girls who have been walking in the boudoir all year round and rarely come to such suburbs would not yearn for the small bridges, flowing water, mist and mist in the south of the Yangtze River.
Listening to him talk about the customs and customs of the south, everyone looked fascinated.
What's more, those who can pass the Jinshi examination, except for a very small number of nerds, are not too narrow-minded in their knowledge and vision, and they can speak clearly and logically about some things.
Xie Songhua and Xie Tu were walking together, listening to their discussion with a smile.
Xie Tu's face was always flushed. Such a relationship was really too bold for her.
Xie Songhua, on the other hand, looked at them with an attitude of appreciation.
From this scene, she seemed to see some normal interactions between young men and women. This scene alone could easily make people feel moved.
The group of people walked around and finally returned to the courtyard before the sun went down.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, Xie Langhua said with a smile: "It seems that our number one scholar is here. I thought he was just an excuse for arriving later, but it turned out to be true."
"Brother Runyu always does what he says, how could he use such excuses?"
After hearing what they said, Xie Songhua followed everyone's gaze and looked over, and saw a carriage parked at the door of the other courtyard, and a person was standing beside the carriage, looking towards them, as if waiting.
But who else could Chen Liu be.
Xie Langhua quickly walked up to him and bowed to him, "Brother Runyu is willing to show his face, and the plum blossoms will shine."
Chen Liu returned the favor and said, "Thank you for being so polite, brother. I should be thanking you for the invitation."
While talking, Xie Langhua naturally made another introduction, and everyone greeted them one by one.
Anshi smiled and said: "Stop waiting at the door, Brother Lang, hurry up and invite all your friends in!"
So they all took a step back and let the women go first.
When Xie Songhua walked by, he made a mistake and met Chen Liu's gaze. Inexplicably, his ears felt a little warm.
