Yao Jihui already had a wife, children and numerous concubines, so it seemed very inappropriate and even rude for him to ask about the Chen sisters at this time.
However, Liang Zhongping didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. Instead, he thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know about this, but my mother said that she is the fifth among the daughters of her generation in the family, and she is only ten years old this year." She is six years old. I think she must have a sister, but I don’t know if she is a daughter in the family. If Brother Yao is interested, I will ask you later."
When Shen Qingsong heard this, he immediately found another topic and hurriedly said: "So what if I get married? With Brother Yao's family background and status, what kind of woman can't he get?"
Yao Jihui was very pleased with such compliments and smiled proudly.
Liang Zhongping also laughed as if he was talking about someone else's business. He laughed a little and said confidently: "Maybe I can be brother-in-law with Brother Yao!"
Xia Houshu looked at his brother, his eyes full of doubts. Is there something wrong with Liang Zhongping's mind? No matter how much he disliked the fifth girl of the Chen family, she was still his wife who had prepared the three books and six etiquettes and was about to marry him. , the sisters of the Chen family are his aunts and sisters, and they are real relatives. What good does it do to him if he allows others to slander his wife's sisters?
Xia Houyi did not give her any response. He just drank another glass of wine silently and then said: "When I heard you talk about Brother Liang's marriage, I suddenly remembered that my old servant's son was getting married today. I promised to go. Then I might not be able to make it in time for the wedding later."
Xia Houshu was slightly startled. Two days ago, she heard Yunxi and the others talking about the old servant Duan Renyi's son getting married. The bride was a girl who was knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and many maids and women in the house had made appointments to have a drink. , I didn’t expect it to be today.
Yao Jihui sneered and said, "I'm just an old servant. Why does Brother Xiahou think it's so important? You'd better stay and have a drink with us and listen to music."
Xia Houyi smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Yao doesn't know something. This old servant once served my late eldest brother. The people in the mansion treat him with special respect. Naturally, I don't dare to neglect him."
When Xia Houhui was mentioned, everyone looked at each other, thinking that he was a legendary figure in the Yue Kingdom and died on the battlefield. Even the late emperor praised him highly, so they neither dared to ridicule or slander him at will, nor did they dare to stop him. Xia Houyi just shook his head with regret and asked everyone to continue drinking.
Yu Wenke was today's host. Xia Houyi had to leave early, so it would not be considered rude to have his words. However, he was also very sensible and immediately said: "Since Brother Xia Hou has important matters to attend to, naturally Xiao Wang is not good at all." If you want to stay, then we can meet again next time."
Xia Houyi expressed his apology to everyone, and then looked at Xia Houshu and deliberately teased: "Didn't my cousin come to see me specially? Now that I'm leaving, are you happy to miss Shu?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. These two people really didn't forget to undermine each other for a moment.
Xia Houshu's face instantly turned red to the point of bleeding, and he glared at his brother fiercely. He thought to himself, if you are so kind and want to take me away, just say so. Why would you say such words to embarrass me in front of everyone?
It was as if she enjoyed listening to their nonsense.
But she really couldn't stay here any longer. In addition to being embarrassed, she also felt that her ears had been greatly insulted, and she would have to find some way to purify her ears later.
However, after being teased like this by Xia Houyi, what else could she do besides being laughed at and then obeying Xia Houyi's wishes obediently?
The brother and sister went downstairs and happened to meet Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu looked at them and saw that no one else was following them. The thug she specially sent to keep an eye on them was still standing there, but Xia Houshu actually left with Xia Houyi in advance. She couldn't help but admire her. She secretly sighed at this.
The little girl is really extraordinary. She is worthy of being trained by Princess Xuanhe, and she handled the matter so smoothly.
Xia Houshu didn't know what Aunt Lu was thinking. She only knew that she was embarrassed and angry today. She endured all the dirty talk and didn't say anything. She didn't get any favors from Xia Houyi. Her mood became even worse.
Depression.
After leaving Shuyu Pavilion, Xia Houyi walked into the alley next to him.
Shu didn't know what his purpose was, so he quickly followed him. After entering the alley, he saw a carriage parked there. The carriage was very ordinary and had no emblem, and the driver was also a stranger.
Xia Houshu stopped and said hesitantly: "Second brother, where are you going?"
Xia Houyi turned around and glared at her, and said angrily: "Go home!"
"Then what's going on with this carriage?" Xia Houshu said and pointed to the carriage. She had the experience of being assassinated, so she would never get into a carriage that was not her own carriage and a familiar coachman when she went out.
Car's.
"I rented it!" Xia Houyi glared at her again, "Are you planning to walk back?"
"Of course it's easier to take a carriage!" Xia Houshu said and followed him with a smile.
The two of them sat opposite each other in the carriage. The coachman asked if they were still seated, and the carriage slowly passed through the busy city amidst the sound of De De's horse hooves and headed towards the Yue Kingdom's palace.
Xia Houyi felt very irritable thinking about today's events, so he simply closed his eyes to calm himself down.
He had obviously been avoiding Xia Houshu recently, so how could she still find him? And it happened to be today, here, that she even mentioned her daughter's identity in front of Yu Wenke and that group of people.
.Did she do it on purpose, or has she always lost her mind?
Xia Houshu didn't know that his brother was still angry about what she said, and his eyes glanced at Xia Houyi's thighs intentionally or unintentionally. She pinched her with great force just now, so Xia Houyi suddenly became angry.
I don’t know if it’s all blue and purple at the moment.
"Have you seen enough?" Xia Houyi suddenly asked without opening his eyes, "If you were a man, I really want to expose my thighs to you! A gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands. What do you have to say?
Just tell me straight, why did you pinch me for no reason? And you were so cruel!"
"Are you angry?" Xia Houshu frowned, leaned forward slightly, waved his hand in front of his eyes, and was immediately grabbed by Xia Houyi.
Xia Houyi suddenly opened his eyes and said seriously: "Have you had enough trouble?"
Xia Houshu was stunned: "Are you really angry?"
"Can't I be angry?" Xia Houyi asked.
Xia Houshu thought for a moment and said, "I did strike a bit harshly just now. I apologize to you."
Xia Houyi frowned slightly: "Don't you think there are other things you did wrong?"
Xia Houshu was stunned for a long time before saying, "What's wrong with me?"
Xia Houyi raised his forehead irritably: "Since you know that the other party is the Crown Prince Ling, why do you still go in?"
"Why is it still my fault?" Xia Houshu was puzzled. "If you hadn't come to a place like this in broad daylight, would I have followed you? I wasn't afraid that you would go astray on impulse and do something inappropriate.
What is the matter of humiliating our family? Don’t treat it like a donkey’s liver and lungs.”
"So you think you are here to rescue me?"
Do, what can't you do? You keep saying that you want to prevent me from doing wrong things, but why don't you think about what you can and can't say?"
Xia Houshu began to reflect on which of his words was wrong.
Before she could find the answer, Xia Houyi said again: "Where is Shuyu Pavilion and who are you facing? Why do you have to mention your cousin at home? Are you afraid that others will not know your identity?"
Xia Houshu woke up from a dream. Did she actually say such things?
Yes, she did say it, and she was even a little proud when she said it. Now that I think about it, she really couldn't speak out of her mind, and she forgot who she was after a few cups of yellow soup.
Xia Houshu hung his head in annoyance and patted his own head to make sure that he was still sane and rational. Then he looked up at his brother and said, "Second brother, I was wrong."
Xia Houyi immediately turned away: "Don't look at me with that look!"
It seemed like he was really angry.
On the way back, Xia Houshu reflected seriously for a long time.
The reason why she followed Xia Houyi to Shuyu Pavilion was because she wanted to grab his pigtails and alert him.
Don't do anything that disgraces the family. Secondly, you can also use this as a leverage to force him to provide some useful clues about Yi Wu. Unexpectedly, stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. Not only did you not get anything, but it seemed like you were giving them something.
After playing a monkey trick, I felt somewhat unhappy.
In fact, after thinking about it carefully afterwards, Xia Houshu could understand in his heart that she was indeed acting too recklessly this time, and even a little arrogant.
Since Xia Houyi can be chosen by his uncle as the successor of the Evergreen Sect, he has his own principles for doing things and will not act recklessly, let alone ignore the honor and disgrace of the family. What's more, although they are brothers and sisters, they are two people after all.
What kind of people Xia Houyi wants to make friends with has nothing to do with her.
But somehow, seeing Xia Houyi befriend Yuwen Ke, she felt uncomfortable all over. This discomfort was worse than any of the playboys Xia Houyi had been with in the past. Or maybe she was just dissatisfied with Yu Wenke's identity.
He Feng Ping probably harbors a deep hostility.
She asked Xia Houyi again why he got involved with Yu Wenke, but Xia Houyi didn't answer him, and finally simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Xia Houshu couldn't get the answer, so he sat alone, sulking, and thinking wildly.
After entering the gate of the Duke of Yue's Mansion, the brother and sister got off the carriage one after another. The driver collected the coins and drove the carriage back. Xia Houshu was thinking about something in his mind, so he didn't worry about anything else and walked inside alone with his head buried.
Xia Houyi followed her leisurely. He had his own little plan in mind, so he neither paid attention to Xia Houshu's unreasonable troubles nor explained why he got involved with Yu Wenke.
The brother and sister walked in silence for a while. Because Xia Houshu was completely focused on thinking about the friendship between Xia Houyi and Yu Wenke, he didn't pay attention to his steps and accidentally jumped forward. Fortunately, Xia Houyi was close and had quick eyes and hands.
She held on.
"Why are you still falling on the flat ground?" Xia Houyi frowned. Looking at her innocent and confused face, he was angry and funny, and said helplessly: "What are you thinking about?"
Only then did Xia Houshu come back to his senses. After standing firm, he looked at Xia Houyi and said, "Second brother, can't you really tell me about you and Yu Wenke?" This chapter has been completed!
