"What! Proposal for marriage? Really? The Duke of the State really said that?" Yun Xi was startled, and started to shout loudly as if his soul had finally returned to his original position. The hair in his hand also fell on the desk, and the ink spattered all over.
Xia Houshu couldn't help but sigh: The words he just wrote were all in vain.
Yun Xi reacted and let out a sob. He quickly collected the clean papers and put them aside, and then went to clean up the ruined calligraphy sheets. While feeling regretful, he also did not forget to draw his attention to gossip: "The Duke of Guo has taken a fancy to it.
Which young master? Has the girl ever seen him?"
"I wish I knew." Xia Houshu said frustratedly.
"This is going to be difficult." Yun Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead due to being too excited and nervous, and continued, "If you know what the Duke is thinking and who the other party is, the girl can at least test him first.
Let’s see if this young master’s character is worthy of being your future husband, and at the same time, cultivate and develop a relationship to avoid the embarrassment of getting married to him.”
Xiahou Shu felt as if someone had hit him on the head, and his vision went dark.
People in the house used to say that her thinking was strange, but now it seems that Yun Xi's thoughts are weird. I'm sorry she still can't distinguish the situation! She is so restless and restless that she seems to be in Yun Xi's eyes.
Liao is worried about not being able to see her undecided fiancé. Why does Yun Xi think she will observe her future husband in advance? Is she so bored?
Yunxi thought she had correctly guessed Xia Houshu's thoughts and began to speak nonsense, saying: "Girl, you will have to get married sooner or later, right? The Duke and the princess have always loved you very much, and the husband chosen for you must be very rich.
If he is expensive, his character and appearance must be excellent, so why should you be worried?"
The more Xia Houshu listened, the more she felt that her words were not congenial, so he couldn't help but interrupt her: "Don't mention this, I just want my father to forget that he has a daughter like me!"
It's like they forgot to propose marriage to Xia Houyi.
One of the family rules of the Xiahou family is that daughters should not marry young and boys should not marry young. Specifically speaking, there should be no marriage proposal before the daughter has her hairpin and no marriage before the boy has the hairpin. Men are even encouraged to establish a career first and then start a family.
Just because of the differences between men and women, less than half a year after her marriage, marriage discussions were already officially on the agenda. And Xia Houyi was still a few months away from turning twenty, so the whole family paid no attention to his marriage.
This is so unfair!
"Girl, you are so lucky that you don't know how lucky you are!" Yun Xi rolled his eyes at Xia Houshu, which was quite old-fashioned. He completely forgot who was shouting "All men in the world are unreliable" a while ago.
"Really?" Xia Houshu leaned over and stared directly into Yun Xi's eyes, joking, "Yunxi, I remember you are two and a half years older than me. Is it your birthday next month? Are you eager for me?
Get married early so that you can find a husband for yourself? Tell me, which man are you attracted to in such a hurry? If you are willing to tell me, even if I am not married yet, I can still make the decision for you."
Yun Xi's face turned red with embarrassment. He stretched out his hand and pretended to push her, and scolded her: "Girl, is this what a girl like you should say? You're not even ashamed!"
"I know even if you don't admit it. Your face is as red as a persimmon, aren't you feeling spring?" Xia Houshu deliberately teased her. Seeing that she was getting more and more shy, he said kindly, "Don't worry, you have been following me for so many years.
, I will definitely find you a good husband-in-law! Maybe when the time comes, you will appreciate our deep sisterhood and let me be your godmother or something. Oh my, I feel so happy just thinking about it!"
"You..." Yun Xi was so anxious that he couldn't say anything. He just dropped what he was doing and came to beat Xia Houshu.
So the two of them chased each other in the room like two madmen for a long time.
After the fuss, Xia Houshu sat down and considered the matter carefully. After talking to his father that day, there was no movement in the mansion, and he didn't hear that his mother had invited any official media to come to the mansion for discussion. However, Xia Houshu was deeply concerned.
I know that my father is a man of action and always does things vigorously and resolutely. He does not give people a chance to hesitate. He is afraid that if he is negligent for a moment, the marriage will be sealed and the situation cannot be reversed.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. During the following period, she couldn't eat well or sleep well all day long.
"When do you think the second brother will come back?" Xia Houshu teased the two little thrushes, but the two little thrushes were very vindictive. After she deliberately teased them a few times when feeding them that day,
, after such a long time, he still refused to pay attention to her, cocking his head and looking at her arrogantly. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

elsewhere.
Even the birds were so disrespectful and opposed her. Xiahou Shu was slightly angry, stared at them and threatened: "You don't even care about me, do you? Believe it or not, I really drank your stew?"
The two thrushes trembled and immediately became lively as if they had been injected with blood.
"That's so good." Xia Houshu nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, how could a kind-hearted person like me really stew you? I will definitely make you fat, and it will be delicious when roasted like that!"
The two thrushes didn't even eat the bird food and were running up and down in the cage crazily.
Xia Houshu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, you still need to move more so that the meat will be tougher. _o_m "
The thrush didn't know what to do, but it didn't dare to stop, because that would be more terrifying, but it would beat less frequently.
Yunxi jumped up to Xia Houshu as happily as a little bird. When she saw her having a "heart-to-heart talk" with two little thrushes, she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she said happily: "Girl, I have good news for you."
!”
"Has the second brother come back?"
Yun Xi glanced at the birdcage and felt sorry for the two thrushes for a while, then shook his head and said, "This is better news than this!"
"If you have anything, just tell me quickly, don't make it mysterious!" Xia Houshu urged anxiously, while imagining all kinds of good things that might happen in his mind.
Yun Xi smiled mysteriously and deliberately said: "A few days ago, a school was opened in the Yeguo Duke's mansion, and the famous Confucian scholar was invited to teach. Many young men from aristocratic families in the capital went to their house to study, even Prime Minister Wang
The young master of the family has also gone!"
Xia Houshu listened quietly and then asked: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Of course it does matter!" Yun Xi explained, "These young men from aristocratic families are either the descendants of meritorious officials, rich and powerful, or full of talents and promising prospects. The Duke of Guo probably took a fancy to these, so he invited them all to his house.
Among them are the Sixth and Seventh Young Masters from the Duke of Ye's family, and we have also invited several new imperial examination candidates who are quite worthy of the Holy Heart. Isn't this just choosing a husband for you, girl?"
"Is this the good news you want to say?" Xia Houshu took a deep breath, thinking that if Yunxi wanted to surprise her again in the future, she would have to be mentally prepared, because she was always only surprised but not happy!
The Gongzhang family of Ye State and the Xiahou family have a close relationship, so she has heard about all the eight sons and four daughters of the Ye State Gong family. Except for the second and fifth young masters who are more flexible in mind, the other several young masters are like many children from aristocratic families.
He is a person with mediocre qualifications and has made no achievements. In the future, he will at most rely on his cuteness to get a title. Duke Ye Guo runs a school in his own home, probably because he has many children. Firstly, he can gather together to facilitate teaching, and secondly, he does not want to let outsiders
She knew that his children's qualifications were mixed. As for those candidates, she didn't know how bright their future would be, but they were all civil servants. The Xiahou family came from a family of military commanders. It sounded like they were talking nonsense. Her father was really good at handling this matter.
weird.
Yun Xi didn't hear the displeasure in Xia Houshu's tone at all. He blinked his big, watery eyes and looked innocent. He kept nodding and said: "I dare not speak about those children of aristocratic families, but I heard that Prime Minister Wang is a humble man.
Courteous, resourceful, and capable of harmonizing, he is the mainstay of the court. The son of the Prime Minister's Mansion must also be talented and handsome, and be among the best among men. Moreover, the Prime Minister's Mansion and our Duke of Yue's Mansion are a perfect match. It is really a good match that is hard to find in a thousand miles!
"
Xia Houshu was dumbfounded when he heard this. Many people only get half of these sparkling adjectives after being cautious in their words and deeds for a lifetime. I am afraid it is inappropriate to put them on the Wang family and his son!
The affairs of the Wang family have been somewhat heard among the noble circles in the capital, but after all, it is not an honorable matter, and due to the power of Wang Chonghou and Princess Mingjia, everyone mostly hides it in their hearts and dare not say it openly. Xia Houyi
He also found out secretly before telling Xia Houshu, so Yunxi didn't know.
Xia Houshu coughed lightly and said seriously: "Yunxi, having power and status does not mean that he is the right match for my Xiahou family, let alone my pursuit in this life. You just heard that the Wang family has a prominent family background.
Have you ever known what kind of person the young master of the Wang family is?"
Yun Xi thought about it and said: "The Duke of Ye's family also has female relatives. Since they can agree that the Wang family's young master should go to their house to study, I think it's not bad for the Wang family's young master to come."
Not bad? Xia Houshu. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 92 Good News
It was as if she had heard a big joke. If a person like Wang Yukun, who is so arrogant and shameless, could be called a bad person, there would be too many people in the world who could be called living Bodhisattvas. Just thinking of the evil things Wang Yukun had done, she became distraught.
I wish I could find a dark and windy night and secretly cover my head and beat him when he came home drunk from a dog pen, and then have someone strip him naked and throw him into the livestock pen.
Let everyone in the capital laugh at him.
A thing that is worse than a beast is worthy of being compared with her?
Xia Houshu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If I were asked to marry into his family, I would rather become a nun!"
Yun Xi thought Xia Houshu was just joking out of anger, so he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he said seriously: "Girl, even if you really don't want to get married, there is no need to curse yourself like this."
What's so good about being a nun? Isn't it the same as when Xia Houshu was practicing in Boyunguan? She was crying and shouting to go home and didn't want to stay in Boyunguan anymore!
After hearing Yun Xi's words, Xia Houshu couldn't help but knock her on the forehead, and said, "A person who is ignorant, does all kinds of evil, and is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. If it were you, would you be willing to marry her?"
?”
"I didn't expect Prince Wang to be such a person. Alas, what a pity." After hearing Xia Houshu's roar, Yun Xi came to such a conclusion that made people laugh or cry.
The prime minister, general, is both civil and military, and can be called the right-hand man of the monarch. In terms of official positions, he is indeed of equal family, but when it comes to being a good match, that is not necessarily the case. Xiahou Shu thought about it for a while, but still felt that he could not just sit back and wait for death, in case his father and Yunxi thought of each other.
If we go together, won't there be no way to save the day?
She looked up at Yunxi and asked, "Where are they now?"
"It's in the front garden!" Yun Xi replied. After saying that, he felt something was wrong with Xia Houshu's expression, and asked cautiously: "Miss, do you want to see it in person?"
"Otherwise?" Xiahou glanced at her, "Didn't you say that you would choose a husband for me? I can't go and see him yet?"
"It's better not to..." Yun Xi whispered, "The people here are all foreign men. The Duke of Guo will kill me if he knows it was me who tipped you off."
"What are you afraid of?" Xia Houshu clicked his tongue, "Doesn't father know that you can't stop me at all? I'm going to see what else he can do to me?".
