Xia Houhui also knew that he was terribly wrong. He still couldn't figure out how he could do such a thing. When he was in Jinfeng City, because he was the son of General Zhenxi, he had outstanding appearance and skill.
There are also girls who show their affection to him. But he refuses without any trouble every time. Why did he fall so completely after meeting Lu Yingxue today?
Xia Houhui lowered his head even lower and said with guilt: "Uncle, it was my nephew who got carried away for a moment, causing everyone to suffer along with me. I am the one who is sorry for everyone!"
As the head of the family, Xia Houyuan watched the younger generations below him being born and growing up little by little. Naturally, he knew Xia Houhui's nature. But what Xiahouhui did today was really against common sense. He
After much deliberation, I still can't figure out where the problem lies.
"Lu Cangnian has always been aloof and strict in doing things. Why is his daughter so bold and reckless?" After Xia Houyuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Houshu. His own daughter is also bold and will get into trouble if she is not careful. If you say
Xia Houshu's boldness was due to his family background, so the Lu family girl's temperament and behavior were a bit deviant.
Lu Cangnian is Lu Yingxue's father. He serves in the Imperial College and is a fifth-grade Imperial Doctor. His disciples call him Dr. Lu in front of him, but behind his back they all call him old-fashioned. If he were to know that his daughter had done something
After such a thing happened, for the sake of his own face, he might cause trouble again. Moreover, the relationship between the Lu family and Prince Ji is so close, and Lu Yingxue and Prince Ji have an oral engagement promised by their elders. It would really make a big fuss.
It's no good to anyone.
Xia Houyuan thought hard for a while, then looked at his second son and ordered: "Yier, please send someone back to Beijing to talk to your mother about this matter in detail so that she can be mentally prepared. Also send a reliable person.
Go to Jinfeng City to deliver a letter to your second uncle, tell him today's situation, and ask for his opinion. As for the Lu family, people are also keeping an eye on it. Mrs. Lu Cangnian often goes to the palace to visit Concubine Wu. Sooner or later she will know
If this matter gets too big, I'm afraid it will be bad for everyone."
Xia Houhui thought that Xia Houyuan agreed to his marriage to Lu Yingxue, and he was very excited and said excitedly: "Uncle, you support us, right? My nephew has never asked you for anything when he has grown up, but I beg you this time
Please intercede with my father and mother for me, I must marry Yingxue!"
"You are such a stubborn kid!" Xia Houyuan frowned and said, "Among the five sons of the late Emperor, Your Majesty is the closest to Prince Ji. If you offend Prince Ji, you are equivalent to offending His Majesty. It's already at this time, why don't you still
Do you only care about the love between your children?"
"My nephew dare not!" Xia Houhui quickly explained, "Uncle, your majesty said that if I can ask my parents to come forward to propose marriage to the Lu family, your majesty will definitely issue an order to grant us a marriage. But if my father and mother don't agree,
, Yingxue can only marry Prince Ji. Yingxue said that she only regards Prince Ji as her brother, I can't just watch her jump into the fire pit!"
It was okay that he didn't explain. This explanation made Xia Houyuan so angry that he was about to explode. He suddenly jumped up from his chair, pointed at Xia Houhui and cursed: "You can't watch the Lu family girl jumping into the fire pit, then you can
Do you want to watch our whole family jump into the fire pit with you? All the books you have read over the years have gone to the dog's belly? Have you forgotten the principles your father taught you? "
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xia Houchun quickly advised him: "Uncle, please don't be angry. Third brother said such stupid things on impulse. He will not disregard the honor and disgrace of the family."
After saying that, she looked at Xia Houhui and said: "It's just that my sister, the third brother, can't understand what the third brother is doing. The third brother is also a cautious person. Why did he meet Lu Yingxue for the first time today, and he doesn't know anyone well?"
So deep, we made a white-headed promise with her? Aren’t the third brothers afraid that he will regret it in the future?”
"I won't regret it, I will definitely marry Yingxue!" Xia Houhui was firm.
"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into you!" Xia Houchun shook his head and sighed.
Xia Houyuan resisted the urge to curse again and restrained himself: "A hero is so angry that he is a beauty. My uncle can understand, but I hope you calm down first and think about it carefully. The girl from the Lu family really wants to be with you for the rest of your life."
What do you like about her? What does she like about you? If you get married in the future, how will you support each other, continue to have children, and educate your children and grandchildren? "
Xia Houhui was dumbfounded. He had never thought about the long term, let alone what he liked about the other person, what the other person liked about him, and what his plans were for the future. He just met a girl he liked, and that girl happened to like him too.
He is willing to reveal his true feelings to him, so he hopes to be able to have a lover with her and eventually get married. It is such a simple wish.
Maybe he is really a fan of the authorities, and it is clear to onlookers.
But he has already promised Lu Yingxue, what should he do with those vows? He can't be allowed to regret it first, right? Then is he still a man?
Thinking of this, Xia Houhui suddenly became afraid. He was worried that after Lu Yingxue returned, he would also wake up under the persuasion of others and feel that it was not worth making so many sacrifices for him, and then forget the vow between them? What should he do then?
manage?
Seeing that he was hesitant, Xia Houyi said: "Third brother, my father is right, marriage is not a trivial matter. You have to calm down first and think rationally about your affairs with the Lu family girl. If you really want to marry her,
Wife, as an elder brother, I will definitely support you."
It was rare for someone to say that they wanted to support him. Xia Houhui was sincerely grateful and said repeatedly: "Thank you, second brother!"
Xia Houyi felt that his cousin was really obsessed. He shook his head and said: "Don't thank me in a hurry. You have to tell us, are you really not marrying a girl from the Lu family?"
"I didn't think so long-term as my uncle said. I only know that I want to marry her now." Xia Houhui said sincerely, "Second brother, I know that there is order between elder and younger. Now that you are not married yet, I shouldn't
But if I give up first, it will be a betrayal of the oath I made with Yingxue, which is unfair to Yingxue. So I must not give up, and I hope she will not give up."
Xia Heyi patted his shoulder and said nothing, thinking to himself that he really had to check up on the girl from the Lu family. What happened today was too evil.
Xia Houyuan looked at Xia Houhui's hopeless look and sighed silently. His second brother Xiahou Tan was such a wise and martial man. If it weren't for the fact that he was born a few years later than himself, this huge Yue Kingdom government would be handed over to him.
He is safe in his hands. Moreover, the two ladies Xia Houtan married one after another are also reasonable people. His step-wife, Mrs. Zhang, is even more knowledgeable about books and etiquette, virtuous and virtuous, and a truly good wife. Why is she so ignorant after giving birth to Xia Houhu?
What about alternatives? You know that this thing may be a trap but you still try your best to jump into it. You just have to choose by yourself, and you have to take the whole family to jump in!
Xia Houyuan was so angry that his heart ached slightly. He looked at Xia Houchun and Xia Houshu, who were still kneeling with him, and said, "Get up, kneeling here will not help."
Xia Houyi was more rational than all of them. When he saw that the other brothers and sisters were all fine, he said: "Father, my son will go and arrange the delivery of the letter. As for the third brother, Chun'er and Shu'er, they will stay here for the next few days."
In other courtyards, don’t go anywhere, everything must be obeyed by father’s arrangements.”
"Second brother..." Xia Houyi was both grateful and guilty. Although the age difference between the two of them was less than one year, Xia Houyi's behavior was indeed more responsible than that of his elder brother.
"You don't need to say any more, I know what you want to say." Xia Houyi said understandingly, "Don't you just want to know about the situation of the Lu family girl? Don't worry, I will go and watch for you. If anything happens,
I will tell you in time. You calm down first and think carefully about what my father just said."
"Thank you for your trouble, brother!" Xia Houhui quickly handed over his hand to thank him.
Xia Houyi then went out to arrange for someone to deliver the letter, leaving Xia Houyuan and the three juniors staring at each other.
Xia Houyuan then said: "I have also inquired clearly about Ruo Qian's matter, but this matter is related to the face of several families, and the heads, queens and queens of several families must sit down and discuss it. It is not something you and I can handle."
As he said this, he specifically warned Xiahou Shu: "Especially you, Shu'er, this matter has nothing to do with you. You must not get involved anymore. Your uncle and Ruo Yu will find a way to solve it."
Now that he was named, Xia Houshu did not pretend to be ignorant and said: "But I don't think uncle wants to solve the problem. He also locked up cousin Lu Fu and Qing Kui today. Lu
Cousin Fu refuses to say anything, and Qingkui wants to say it but doesn’t know the truth. If General Cheng’s family takes the opportunity to cause trouble, won’t Qingkui suffer too?”
Xia Houyuan became angry when he mentioned the matter in Prince Gong's Mansion, and scolded: "You have time to worry about Qingkui, why not worry about yourself. Even if your uncle's handling method is not appropriate, you are a junior, and you should not talk to your uncle like that.
.Your mother won’t spare you if she finds out. Also, do you think that by diverting your uncle’s attention, your two cousins will suffer less? You overestimate yourself too! I don’t want to miss you either.
How did my uncle get his status today?"
Xia Houshu stuck out his tongue. It seemed that the words she said to provoke Zhong Zan in the afternoon had reached her father's ears. But since her father could say it in person, it proved that he did not want to hold her accountable for her fault in this matter. She thought
After thinking for a while, he added: "Father, does he know what uncle is going to do with cousin Lufu and Qingkui? In this matter, Qingkui did nothing wrong. Why don't father find a way to bring Qingkui out and live with us?"
It’s fine together!”
If they can see Zhong Qingkui, they can get more clues about the Lu family.
Who knows who gave birth to the daughter? Xia Houyuan immediately guessed what her intention was and couldn't help but frowned again. He thought that he still couldn't underestimate this daughter.
"This is not something you should be concerned about." Xia Houyuan said solemnly, "Remember what I say, don't be smart! Your uncle punished Qing Kui too, just to protect her!"
Based on Zhong Lufu's current situation, if Zhong Zan releases Zhong Qingkui, others will think that Zhong Zan is not strict with his daughter. Since it is protection, Zhong Qingkui will not suffer much.
Xia Houshu let out a long oh, and his mood instantly relaxed a lot.
Xia Houyuan had a headache thinking about the bad things that happened one after another today, so he waved his hand to signal them all to go back and rest first.
The Xiahou sisters felt like they were being pardoned and quickly dragged Xiahou Hui out.
After coming out of the house, Xia Houhui immediately broke away from the support of his two sisters and said solemnly: "I know you have good intentions, but you don't need to worry about me, and you don't need to send people to keep an eye on me. I promised my uncle and my second son
I won’t go out these days, so I will definitely do it.”
After saying that, he walked to his room.
The Xiahou sisters looked at each other, and no one understood what he was thinking.
Xia Houshu asked: "Second sister, third brother, was he like this before?"
Xia Houchun shook his head and said: "Three brother, although he was a little simpler before, he was not stupid. My father always praised him for being steady and capable of taking on big responsibilities. If I hadn't seen what happened today, I wouldn't have believed that he was
