"Your two brothers are at the border all the time, and there is not even a woman around them. Naturally, I have to worry about this marriage. Your adoptive father gave the emperor a letter to explain the situation, and the emperor agreed. After a while, you two
Two brothers will come to Beijing, and I have to look after each other for them these days." Yang Qin shook his head as he spoke, looking distressed.
Seeing this, Hua Yanxi naturally didn't want to talk about her own affairs first, so she continued what Yang Qin said: "It's a good thing to be a matchmaker for the two adopted brothers. Why does the adopted mother look so troubled?"
Yang Qin sighed, with a look of embarrassment on his graceful face: "Originally, I discussed this matter with your aunts and agreed to see each other in private, and the Xi Niangs I invited were also strict and would not spread rumors, but
Unexpectedly, the news got out, and many ladies sent me messages early in the morning inviting me to come over for tea."
After saying that, Yang Qin snorted coldly: "I really don't think I know their purpose. They just want to marry me. My two sons are both civil and military, and anyone can get them."
Hua Yanxi was a little confused and asked shamelessly: "Is it because these ladies have poor family backgrounds, or because their daughters are not beautiful enough?"
Yang Qin shook his head: "That's not true. This woman from the capital has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child. She has played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and dares to hand over greeting cards. Naturally, her family status is among the best, but..."
This made Hua Yanxi even more confused.
She originally thought that Yang Qin didn't like the family status or the woman's conditions, but looking at it this way, these people who submitted the invitations were all the best among people.
It's neither a problem with the girl's family nor a problem with her family background, so what's the problem?
It can never be...
Hua Yanxi immediately cast her hesitant gaze on Yang Qin's face: "Could it be the problem of the two sworn brothers?"
Yang Qin nodded: "It's their problem."
After saying that, seeing Hua Yanxi's strange expression, Yang Qin reacted and said quickly: "No, it's not that kind of problem. They are all in good health. Each of them can weigh a hundred pounds. It's not like they like men."
Hua Yanxi stroked her forehead: "Foster mother, I didn't think about it that way. What I want to ask is, do the two adopted brothers have their own standards for choosing a spouse?"
Yang Qin smiled awkwardly, and nodded helplessly: "Yeah, they both said, you don't want to be that kind of petite lady, you don't have to be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you have to be familiar with military books, you have to be good at martial arts, and you have to be able to
Endure hardship.”
"Are you sure they are looking for a wife, not a subordinate?"
"That's what I asked too, but they said that in the future they will definitely take over their father's business and guard the border. If they are too delicate, they may not be able to endure this hardship. I think it makes sense, so I am prepared
From the looks of it, these posts give me a headache." Yang Qin said with a look of helplessness.
"The people sending greeting cards all have good relations with the Yang family. Why don't the adoptive mothers decline politely?"
"Yes, I invited you kindly, but I didn't make it clear that I wanted to get married. If I declined, it would definitely make people unhappy. If I accepted, it would be a waste of time. There are so many families, and it would be difficult for me to just visit them door to door.
It will take a lot of time, but you don't know that your two brothers are rarely willing to agree to get married this time. If it doesn't go well this time, it will be even harder to convince them in the future."
Hua Yanxi thought for a while and said, "In that case, how about we take the initiative?"
"Why take the initiative?" Yang Qin asked curiously.
