Men love horses, and women love money. This has been true since ancient times. No man can refuse a good horse, and Xie Yu is no exception.
Seeing the tall horse in front of him, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed at all. Of course, in front of Hongyunxi, he never concealed those emotions. Wenyou looked at his happy expression and rarely curled up his mouth,
"What's wrong? Stop pretending. Don't you always act gentle and elegant? Why are you so lively tomorrow?"
Listening to Wenyou's teasing, Xie Yu cleared his throat and rubbed her legs.
"Sister Wen, please stop laughing at him. When has he ever hidden his thoughts in front of his godmother?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Hongyunxi who was standing in the east of the corridor, crossed his legs and bowed,
"My godmother knows her son's preferences. If he rides this beautiful horse to take office, it will not be my son's greatest wish in his life, nor will it be the most desirable gift he has ever received."
Listening to Xie Yu's tone, Hongyunxi sighed with emotion and couldn't help but tease,
"The daughter of Gu Gu is ruthless with red makeup, and the man is ruthless with swords and guns. But it is in my heart that his hard work is not in vain."
"For Godmother to worry about it, that would be the most satisfactory gift he has received in more than 20 years."
Although he was very doubtful about where his godmother had obtained the beautiful horse, the fact that it could be given to him showed that his godmother had misunderstood him.
The mother-son love between the two of them was only half-way, but they treated each other like this. God must have pitied him and specifically made up for his shortcomings in this life. He could not repay such kindness, so he treated his godmother as a filial mother as his biological mother in the future.
It was unworthy of her to wrong her kindness and cruelty.
Hearing Xie Yu's thoughts, Hongyunxi smiled in her eyes, curved her lips, and waved towards him.
That kid was right. It was good for him. Firstly, he looked pitiful. He was obviously the eldest son of the county magistrate, but his life was so difficult. Secondly, it was not her selfish intention to make friends with Xie Yu, which would have no harm to their family.
.
If it turns out that he and Xiao Wu have embarked on official careers together, they will be able to take care of each other in the officialdom in the future. It is better to have an acquaintance to help than a stranger.
"It's hot outside. Come inside and shut up. He knows that my schedule is tight and he can't keep me here longer, so he just asked me, what are your plans for the marriage? Can you tell me what arrangements my father or aunt has made?"
Hongyunxi knew that the man was in his twenties. In an ordinary family, the children would be able to raise soy sauce, but the man was still single. If he had gained fame now, it would be time for him to get married.
Hearing Hong Yunxi's inquiry, Xie Yu smiled slightly, not feeling the embarrassment that a man of the right age should have at all.
"To be honest, my stepmother had planned a lot of marriages for him in the past, but he rejected them all. My stepmother cried to my father, saying that he was ignorant, and my father also thought he was naughty, so she never mentioned marriages again. My aunt
Did they always prepare for him? Now that he has achieved fame, his father once again mentioned his marriage, saying that he wanted to marry the daughter of a prominent family and take care of the back house for his son."
"But he rejected him. After all those years of getting along with him, he no longer had any expectations for his father. Naturally, he didn't believe that he would find a sensible wife for him. Moreover, he had promised his aunt to marry his uncle's cousin. I heard that my cousin
I was taught very well by my aunt, and I am a good person in charge of middle and high school."
He can rest assured that the back house will be left to his cousin.
"My aunt asked him what he wanted, and said that he wanted to ask a matchmaker to go to his uncle's house to propose marriage. Even if he is not a relative, three matchmakers and six betrothals are indispensable. He wanted to marry his uncle's cousin, so naturally he had to follow the rules, so he entrusted it to his aunt.
I have left a nun in charge in the city to assist my aunt in settling the marriage."
After hearing Xie Yu's tone, Hongyunxi was stunned. Are they close relatives?
But then I thought about it, at that time it was always popular to have aunts and cousins, uncles and aunts, cousins, and cousins were getting married. There were a lot of them. The law did not say that close relatives could not get married.
Moreover, among the babies born after cousins get married, apart from them, it is rare that any babies have defects.
Thinking of that, Hongyunxi nodded,
"As long as someone has plans for me, my aunt and uncle treat me kindly."
"My godmother is right. During those years, I relied on my uncle and aunt to take care of me both openly and secretly. Otherwise, he would have been alone and struggling to make a living in the lap of his stepmother. I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Xie family."
I heard from my aunt that my mother left an orphan before her death and asked her uncle and aunt to take care of him more. When he comes of age, she will find a virtuous woman to be his wife. After much thought, my uncle decided that it would be safest to marry his own daughter.
After explaining it to his aunt, his uncle focused on training his cousin so that he could have a smooth marriage and allow his mother's bloodline to continue. In this way, his brother and sister could fulfill their mother's last wish.
Listening to Xie Yu's tone, Hong Yunxi was stunned and couldn't help but sigh. Not to mention, the brothers and sisters in Xie Yu's mother's family were very capable. But they supported the nephew wholeheartedly and planned for him. They really had a deep brother-sister relationship.
"It's good to have a plan. My godmother sees that I'm not too young now, so the marriage can't be pending forever. If I become famous, those Europeans will step on the threshold of my family."
"My godmother is a transparent person. Naturally, everyone at the door at this time is not a person with ulterior motives. Is she sincerely doing good for her son? My son doesn't care about those clinging people, and he doesn't want to be with them.
.”
For this reason, my father was very angry, because there were several families with a higher family status than the Xie family, and if they were willing to let their daughters marry to the east, they would be interested in his fame. But after all, they were afraid of losing face, so some married to the east.
A concubine. Therefore, although my father felt embarrassed, he did not pressure him to agree.
In fact, his father himself knew clearly in his heart that Ru Ming could no longer control his own thoughts. Rather than embarrass himself, it would be better to compromise. That was not the reason why he had not completely fallen out with his father.
His marriage affairs were all clear to his uncle and aunt, so Zhai Muluzi went to Fucheng for him, and after six rites, he married his cousin, and they could go and stay together.
Listening to Xie Yu's thoughts, Hongyunxi also understood.
It was appropriate for the boy to leave all his marriage affairs to his aunt. After all, did the two elders really plan for him?
"My aunt has always been a resolute person. She knows his schedule. I guess Liuli is just the last link."
When he arrives, he will directly become the groom's official.
At first he felt that he had wronged his cousin, but his aunt and uncle said that things were urgent and they could hurry up and get married if they took less time.
And he can express his apology to his uncle and do his wrong to his cousin twice as much in the future.
"My godmother understands his past, and both elders understand his difficulties. In addition to feeling sorry for him, they scolded his father, saying that the Duan family was blind in the first place, and that was why he harmed his mother for the rest of his life. Please ask him and his cousin in the future
If everything goes smoothly for the couple and the case is completed, they will feel relieved."
