After finding out why Grandma Fu Pei's hatred arose, Xia Houshu's mood did not improve.
She spends time in the morning and evening in a proper manner every day. After breakfast, she first goes to the family ancestral hall to put incense sticks on her eldest brother's memorial tablet, then goes to the small ancestral hall to put incense sticks on Zhuang Weiwei's tablet, and then returns to Qingfeng Pavilion. It is usually lively.
She could not be seen in the extraordinary Muchunyuan and Longqiuyuan, and her laughter could not be heard in other places in the house. When nothing happened, she would sit in front of the window in a daze with a book, look at the clouds, or play the piano.
Occasionally, I would grab snacks and fruits from Yunxi for fun. The days passed slowly like this day after day.
It was rare for Zhong Yuqing to see her daughter so peaceful, and she even felt comforted. Gradually, she didn't take it so seriously, and finally lifted the restraining order. However, Xia Houshu didn't care about the restraining order in the first place, and what happened during this period of time
The incident made her depressed, so she did not show any yearning or impatience for the outside world for several days in the past.
Unexpectedly, Xia Houshu's series of abnormal behaviors made Zhong Yuqing even more confused.
Zhong Yuqing sent someone to secretly observe her daughter for a while, but still found nothing unusual, so she was completely relieved.
On this day, Xia Houshu and Yun Xi were studying her newly acquired bamboo dragonfly. From a distance, they saw Qingfang from Songya Hall entering the yard, and they suddenly lost all interest.
Qingfang is the most capable maid next to Zhong Yuqing after Grandma Fu Pei. She is quick-thinking and transparent, and represents Zhong Yuqing's eyes, ears and mouth.
I don’t know what instructions she came to convey again today.
Xia Houshu was thinking to himself, but he saw Qingfang walking up to her, bowing, and saying with a smile: "Third girl, Mrs. Rong'anhou is here and she wants to see you. The princess asked me to invite you.
It’s been in the past.”
Xia Houshu vaguely remembered that this was the fourth time this month that she heard her aunt come to the house. She put down the bamboo dragonfly in her hand, looked at Qingfang in confusion and said: "My aunt has been coming a bit frequently recently, why do you keep asking me to come home?"
See me?"
"How do we know this?" Qingfang said, looking at Yunxi next to her, and then said, "Maybe it's because Mrs. Hou hasn't seen the third girl for a long time and she misses her so much."
"In the past, when my aunt came to the house, she didn't go to my mother?" Xia Houshu sneered, "You have been with my mother for so many years, when did your aunt care about us juniors? Last time, my mother specially invited me to meet my aunt.
, but it turned out that all she was talking about was the eldest sister’s past, which made me feel troubled.”
Being exposed in person, Qingfang felt a little embarrassed, but she still smiled and explained: "Mrs. Rong'an Hou is naturally thinking about all the young masters and girls, and this time not only Mrs. Rong'an Hou, but also Mr. Ruoqian is here.
"
Ruoqian is the second son of Xiahou Mei and ranks eighth among his peers in the Rong'an House. He usually likes to stay at home and study. He has no bad habits and good conduct.
Xia Houshu had a fair impression of Xu Ruoqian and was willing to say hello when he saw him. However, thinking that he was not good at socializing and stayed at home reading like a big girl every day, which was very boring. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "
What is cousin Ruoqian doing here?"
Qingfang smiled and shook her head to express her ignorance.
Xiahou Shu expected that Ding Qingfang would not tell him if he knew it, so he handed the bamboo dragonfly to Yunxi and asked her to put it away. Seeing that the clothes he was wearing were too thin and not suitable for seeing outsiders, he said to Qingfang: "You go first
Go back, I’ll change my clothes and go over.@essence\/书馆·无码first release~~”
Qingfang's message had been delivered, so he went back as promised.
Xia Houshu hurried back to his room, symbolically changed his clothes, and went to Songya Hall.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard Xiahou Mei's loud voice. I don't know what they were talking about. Xiahou Mei was praising her youngest son Xu Ruoqian for his handsome appearance, noble conduct, rich knowledge, etc. She wanted to use all the beautiful words to describe men.
.
Xia Houshu curled his lips, thinking that his aunt really had a powerful mouth.
Xia Houmei has two sons and two daughters. Except for Xu Ruoqian, who is too young and has not yet been engaged, the other two sons and two daughters have found good matches from high families because of her eloquent tongue. Now she actually brings Xu Ruoqian to her parents' house to praise her.
She was planning to marry Xu Ruoqian, and wanted Zhong Yuqing to help with the matchmaking process.
I don't know which girl she is interested in.
Xiahou Shu walked in slowly and saluted everyone in turn. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Xiahou Mei looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Xia will appear in the next second. (This chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 87 Cousins are also relatives
Hou Mei smiled happily and said: "Sure enough, it is a woman's eighteenth transformation. She has not seen Shu'er for a long time, and she has become more and more delicate and charming."
Xia Houshu was extremely critical of his aunt's remarks. They had only met her in April and even ate mutton together. It had only been less than two months. How could there have been so many changes?
But Xiahou Mei reached out to pull Zhong Yuqing and said affectionately: "Princess, I'm thinking that Shu'er has reached the age to discuss marriage, and it happens that my Ruoqian family is also getting married. Princess, I don't mind it.
How about we get closer and closer?"
Xia Houshu was surprised when she heard this. She thought her aunt had taken a fancy to a girl from some family and wanted to ask her mother to be a matchmaker, but she didn't expect that she was interested in herself. Did she eat melon and even eat it on herself?
She quickly glanced at everyone present: Zhong Yuqing slowly fiddled with the tea in the cup with the lid of the cup, smiling and saying nothing; Xia Houmei was happy, as if he had seen the scene of his daughter-in-law serving her tea with a blushing face;
Even Xu Ruoqian sat down with a calm face and drank tea silently, stealing glances at Xia Houshu from time to time, as if he knew about it in advance.
No wonder my aunt has come to see my mother frequently recently, and she always clamors to see her...
I bet you are setting a trap for her!
Xiahou Shu's heart suddenly became clear. She forced herself to calm down, then looked at Xiahou Mei in shock, raised her voice and said: "Aunt, Shu'er has always regarded cousin Ruoqian as his biological brother, how could you let me marry
Where is my brother?"
Xia Houmei was also frightened by her words. He almost lost his grip on the teacup in his hand, quickly put it on the table, patted his chest to calm down, and then looked at Xia Houshu and said: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Cousins, not blood relatives, how come they are brothers."
Xia Houshu doesn't care about blood cousins, in short, there is no way to get closer!
She continued to pretend to be very frightened, and said seriously: "But in Shu'er's view, cousins are also relatives. If we get married again, it would be against ethics. Aunt, think about it, my father, his second uncle and his third uncle are from the same mother.
, so the children of my second uncle and my third uncle are my brothers and sisters. So, what’s the difference between my aunt and my second and third uncle? Of course my aunt’s children are also my brothers and sisters.”
This sounds like the truth, but there seems to be something wrong with it.
Xiahou Mei was speechless. She was obviously shocked by Xiahou Shu's words. But her purpose was not to turn her cousins into real brothers and sisters, but to get married. She wanted to turn her niece into a daughter-in-law.
, let the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion and the Yue Kingdom's Mansion be tied together forever.
Xiahou Mei thought for a while and continued to argue: "How can this be the same? Your second uncle and third uncle's children are all named Xiahou, but your cousin's surname is Xu."
"Isn't my surname Xu or Xiahou the same surname? If my uncle agrees, my cousin can follow my aunt's surname Xiahou. I think my father will not refuse the Xiahou family to have one more heir." Xiahou Shu whispered, who happened to be present.
Everyone heard it.
"you--"
Xia Houmei stared at Xia Houshu, completely stunned. She never expected that she would be entangled by a young girl, and she would become a human being inside and outside.
Xia Houshu publicly teased Xu Ruoqian for his surname Xu instead of Xia Hou. Is he mocking himself for being vigorous and resolute these years, but is he actually a paper tiger?
But except for those families who have adopted a son-in-law, which family's children don't follow their father's surname? The Rong'an Marquis Mansion is not one of those low-income families who can't get on the stage!
Xia Houshu is clearly trying to confuse the public and make excuses!
Sure enough, girls who have not been taught by their mothers since childhood have no rules. If it weren't for the fact that she was Zhong Yuqing's biological daughter, and the other two daughters of the same generation in the Duke of Yue were married to others, she would not be willing to treat Xia Houshu like this.
A girl with a good heart will marry someone as her daughter-in-law!
Unfortunately, she had nothing to do with her niece. Moreover, for the sake of the future of the Rong'an Marquis and her youngest son, she made up her mind to get married again to the Duke of Yue.
When things got so bad, Zhong Yuqing, a mother and sister-in-law, had no choice but to take care of her. She immediately reprimanded her daughter: "Shur, you are a junior, how can you talk to your aunt like this? If this is spread to outsiders, it will not be good for your reputation.
"
Her words were pun-intended. She not only scolded Xiahou Shu for his lack of etiquette, but also used "not an outsider" to win over Xiahou Mei. After all, family scandals should not be made public.
Xiahou Mei couldn't argue with Xiahou Shu, so he was very embarrassed. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 87 Cousins are also relatives
The child turned to look at Zhong Yuqing and returned to the topic: "Princess, this girl's marriage has always been the order of her parents and the matchmaker's words. You and I are originally from the same family, and we know the roots of the family. If we can get married, it will be our honor.
blessing. What do you think?"
Zhong Yuqing originally felt that Xia Houshu was a junior and should not keep Xia Houmei from coming to the stage in front of everyone, so she had no choice but to scold her. In fact, she agreed with Xia Houshu's statement in her heart, so she indulged her and said so much.
In this way, Xiahou Mei's idea of getting married may be dispelled.
Marriage is a marriage between two people with good surnames, and it is also a budding promise between children, which is related to the happiness of the next few decades. In Zhong Yuqing's eyes, Xu Ruoqian is a gentle nerd with a gentle personality. There is nothing wrong with it, but he is calm.
She couldn't help her daughter. And just looking at the relationship between their cousins in the past, she didn't feel that they had any love beyond family affection.
The most important thing is that she has no intention of getting closer to Xiahou Mei.
Zhong Yuqing hoped that both parties could follow the steps she gave and the matter would be over. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Mei pretended not to understand and deliberately challenged her. Just challenge her, Xiahou Mei.
He also deliberately asked her for her opinion. How could she express her opinion? Could it be that she really refused without regard for her face?
If she bluntly told her that she didn't want to get married, wouldn't she have to point her nose in and scold her for bullying others based on Xiahou Mei's temperament?
Zhong Yuqing thought for a long time, finally stopped what she was doing, slowly put the tea cup on the small table, raised her head, and said politely: "You and I are both experienced, so we know that my daughter's family is born with difficulties.
She is hair-haired, still young, and has an unstable temperament. She often gets into trouble and gets into trouble. His father and I are not in a hurry to marry her off, but want to stay at home and discipline her for a few years."
Xia Houmei waited for a long time but what he heard was this. He immediately smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are young and not calm. Once you get married, you will become sensible gradually. My Ruoqian is a few months younger than Yi'er.
If you get married, it will definitely take place after the crowning ceremony, but you can decide the marriage in advance. As an aunt, I can't treat my niece badly, right?"
This is going to block all the words!
Xia Houshu looked at his aunt and then his mother anxiously. He had to rush back and forth to do this kind of thing, couldn't he let her live in peace for a while?
