The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 187
Liu Xuer hadn’t participated in the argument between the eldest brother and the second brother. The little maid from the mother He’s side called Xiaomeng came over and said that the lady invited her to come over.
It’s hard to talk, but my temper has passed, and I still listen to reason… However, this matter really needs to be discussed.”
Liu Lin nodded and said to Liu Xuer: “But there is one thing I have to say first, if my mother doubts Song Yao’s character, then you must tell me, Song Yao is not like that People…why do the people in her family who don’t want her to be nice say that, and mother also say the same?”
“Oh, mother, isn’t that just a normal question? Mother doesn’t know Song Yao!” Liu Xuer said, came out of this room and came to the upper room.
When Mr. He saw her coming in, he waved: “Xuer, come here! How do you feel about this? Is your second brother talking in a dream?!”
Liu Xuer glanced at her father first, and saw her wry smile over there, obviously, he did not persuade her mother, but her mother was even more angry.
Liu Xuer smiled and said: “Mother, the second brother has already said it very clearly, why do you still say that? You calm down and listen, can’t we discuss it carefully? Why are you so angry?”
He was at a loss for words.
Liu Changgeng said by the side: “Your mother has her own idea, she wants to set a show for your second brother, this idea has been made a few years ago, but Xiuxiu is still young, I didn’t say anything.”
Liu Xuer was shocked when she heard this! Xiuxiu? ! She was stunned, no wonder the mother reacted the most! The eldest brother is married, the second brother is the same age as the eldest brother, but the mother is as stable as Mount Tai, not in any hurry.
She asked tentatively: “Then my uncle…is that a promise or not?” After asking this sentence, she immediately reacted, and she asked too much! These days, everyone is rushing to kiss and kiss, especially aunts and cousins. They all feel that their daughters are married to their cousins, and their mother-in-law is an aunt, so they will not embarrass their daughters. .
Sure enough, Mr. He nodded heavily: “Of course your uncle agreed! Of course I’m very satisfied!”
Liu Xuer pondered, this is impossible, not to mention that the second brother must have no idea about Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu is still young, and it is even more impossible to think of this aspect, just being close relatives, You must stop yourself.
He is still looking at Liu Xuer, waiting for her support. The family has gotten used to it over the years, and Liu Xuer is already a very important person. In general, her thoughts and opinions are also very important.
Liu Xuer looked at He and said with a smile: “Mother, let’s discuss the matter between the second brother and Song Yao, the only place where the two of them are not suitable is the family. The age is suitable. And the second brother is also a scholar now. Speaking of the Hanlin mansion, the old man has also been a Hanlin. The people in their family don’t seem to have any official positions, and the family rank is not very disparate. “
He turned her head in disappointment when she heard her say this.
Liu Xuer continued with a smile and said: “And the second brother and Xiuxiu…that is really inappropriate, the second brother is nineteen, and he will be twenty years old soon, Xiuxiu is twelve, This difference is too big, in the eyes of the second brother, Xiuxiu is just a child…”
Liu Changgeng boldly nodded at the side: “Yeah, this… I don’t think it’s appropriate.”
He turned to look at him and said, “When Yuan Hao asked to marry Liu Hong, Yuan Hao was twenty! Liu Hong was only fourteen!”
“Twelve and fourteen are not the same thing, twelve is still a child…” Liu Xuer said: “Mother, you don’t need to give me this example again, when I got engaged At a young age, I admit that I was a child, but Shicheng was also a child at that time! My second brother and Xiuxiu…Oh, they really don’t match up! I can’t imagine them being together…” It was too inconsistent.
He called Liu Xuer to come, originally to pull an alliance for herself, because she knew that Liu Xuer and Xiuxiu had a good relationship, whenever Xiuxiu came to the city to play, she would find Liu Xuer . Unexpectedly, Liu Xuer would not agree! Mr. He became irritable, and his irritable temper came up again. He stood up and said angrily: “You don’t agree! Anyway… I have a solution! If Liu Lin changes his mind, let’s see what else you have to say!” went out.
Liu Changgeng and Liu Xuer were all embarrassed, and Liu Xuer asked Liu Changgeng: “Dad, why did my mother think like this? Xiuxiu…you are so young!”
Liu Changgeng shook his head: “I had this idea for a long time, Xiuxiu was young at that time, Liu Lin was not too big, they were all children, your mother hoped that her son would marry someone from her parents’ family. It’s normal, girl. It’s just…”
“Dad, don’t you agree? I think you’re reluctant?” Liu Xuer asked with a smile.
Liu Changgeng took a sip of tea, and then said: “To be honest, I really liked it at first, Xiuxiu is the one we have seen since we were young, and we all know the temperament, the little girl is very good, Why don’t you agree?”
Liu Xuer heard this and said with a smile: “It sounds like when did you change your mind?”
Liu Changgeng sighed and said: “The matter of your second brother, when your elder brother got married, I really thought about it myself, Xiuxiu… It is indeed a little too young, and the age difference It’s too big, you have to wait until you get married, and you’ll be fourteen years old. This is the earliest age you can get married, and your second brother will be twenty-one at that time. It’s really not suitable, and then…” He sighed. : “Then when I heard your second brother talk about that Song family girl today, I suddenly felt…”
Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped talking, and Liu Xuer asked: “What do you feel suddenly?”
Miss Song’s family is not suitable. But your second brother wants to marry! My son’s life is a matter of marrying a wife. I can’t help but follow his wishes and make him have a hard life…”
Liu Xuer nodded seriously! Don’t say it! Dad’s words also reminded her that what Dad said makes sense! The most important thing is that the second brother is willing in his heart. Don’t the second brother think clearly about the things in his life? There are many kinds of helping people, and it is not impossible to lend out some money, but the second brother promised to marry that Miss Song, that is to say, deep in his heart, he must be willing!
I figured this out, and the catkins were relieved! Nodding his head and smiling, he said, “Yes, Dad, what you said makes sense, this matter has to depend on the second brother. On the mother’s side, I also persuade, and on the second brother’s side, of course, you have to ask more clearly, and contact with care. Come on… This is where I can find Shicheng! After all, Shicheng has a bit of a face in Fengxian County. He has been admitted to a scholar and is considered a literati. He should be able to speak in front of these literati and ask him to test the attitude of the Hanlin Mansion. ?”
Liu Changgeng nodded: “Okay! Just do it like this! I will persuade your mother too.”
The father and daughter agreed, but they let go of the unpleasant worries that had just been made by He’s temper. In a general way, I asked Shicheng to ask about the current situation of the Hanlin Mansion, and why the eldest young lady was able to drive the young lady out of the house. One is to inquire from the side, if the Liu family comes to ask for relatives, can the Hanlin Mansion agree.
Shi Cheng nodded and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect the second brother-in-law to have such a story…” He suddenly said, “No wonder, at Songjiang Mansion, I felt It’s kind of weird for him.”
Liu Xuer nodded at him and said, “In the future, when you go out to do business, you have a good idea! If you go to a place like this, you can go there, but don’t come back with any romantic debts… You should know, I can’t stand this at all!”
Shicheng laughed ‘puchi’: “You still don’t trust me? I haven’t seen it before? When did I have such thoughts? At that time…”
Stand up and was about to talk about the surface skills, Liu Xuer smiled and patted him: “It’s okay. I know, you have always been a thief but not a thief. dare not.”
Shi Cheng glanced at her when he heard her: “Look at what you said! The image of my wise and divine martial arts has been corrupted by you, and it is useless!”
Liu Xuer was proud: “This is also one of my methods! You are too wise and martial, you can hook up a string of glances from the corner of your eyebrows, am I not exhausted? I’m relieved!”
Shicheng acted like she was suddenly enlightened, pointed at her and said, “Oh oh oh! That’s how it is! I mean that every time I go out, people always look at me strangely, so it’s you I can’t spare you…” Saying that, a hungry tiger rushed towards him…
…
The person who has done it all is so innocent that he guards his fiancée until the wedding night without kissing or touching him. He can’t do it, and he becomes a saint.
In fact, there are not many opportunities for them to touch each other.
Shicheng was instructed to do things for Liu Xuer, and Liu Xuer was still thinking about how to persuade He’s family, and was waiting for Shicheng to bring the exact news of the Hanlin Mansion.
I just didn’t expect that He’s temper is also very anxious. No one in the family agrees with her idea. He is a little anxious. I don’t know what to do. puzzled idea.
He went to pick up Xiuxiu! What I’m telling everyone is that Xiuxiu will come to play at home for a while. I live in Liu Xuer’s yard, anyway, there are a lot of empty houses in Liu Xuer’s yard.
Liu Xuer was embarrassed, Liu Changgeng was helpless, and Liu Lin didn’t know it yet, he just thought he was really picking up his little cousin to play, and besides, he really couldn’t think of it. My mother can associate herself with this cousin who is a child in her own eyes.
