Chapter 681 Bad Idea

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chang family invited the official media to come to the Han family to propose marriage. In just a long time, all the well-informed people in Pick City knew the news that the Feng family and the Han family were going to get married.

When Xiao heard the news, her first reaction was disbelief: "How is this possible? The eldest daughter of the Han family is two years older than Feng Dajun's son, how could she get married?"

The chief steward said: "There should be nothing wrong with this news." In Pickaxe City, no one would take the risk of offending the concubine to damage the reputation of the eldest daughter of the Han family, so the chief steward believed that this news should be true.

Xiao Shi still didn't believe it, and when Yuan Ying came back at night, he told him about it: "It shouldn't be true, right?" answer.

Yuan Ying has been busy all the time and didn't know about it: "This kind of thing won't be publicized. Since someone said it, it should be true." Yuan Ying always felt that his family's power was a little weak, and wanted to find someone who could help his son. wives. In Pickaxe City, there is no one more powerful than the Han family. Firstly, the Han family is the natal family of the princess, secondly, Han Jianming is a feudal official, and Han Jianye is also a general who holds great power from the second rank. With the momentum of the Han family, it will definitely help his son a lot. It's a pity that the Han family didn't reply, which made him very disappointed.

Xiao felt very uncomfortable, and said: "The boy of the Feng family is two years younger than the eldest girl of the Han family! I don't know what the Han family likes in that boy?" Her eldest son is no worse than Feng Zhiao in anything!

Yuan Ying thought for a while and said: "Feng Zhiao is the companion of the son, and it is probably because of this reason that he was selected by the Han family."

Xiao thought a lot: "You mean this marriage is for the concubine?" She also found it strange that this marriage was too unnatural. If the princess meant it, then it would not be surprising.

Yuan Ying shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Haocheng is not only the girls of the Han family, but Chen'er has picked the best ones." Although it is a bit regrettable, they have already made a decision. It doesn't make sense to say anything.

Xiao Shi felt very upset, but he didn't say anything. After what happened to her younger brother, she was a little afraid of Yuxi in her heart, although she was usually kind and friendly, she was merciless in her attacks.

Du Shao came back one day late because of something at home, and when he returned to the palace, he joked when he saw Feng Zhiao: "Brother is so tight-lipped, he didn't even tell us about such a big happy event."

Cui Weiqi asked a little strangely: "What happy event?" Cui Weiqi's family is not in the city of Hao, so he spent the year in the palace and knew nothing about the outside world.

Du Shao smiled and said: "Brother is going to be engaged to the eldest girl of the Han family." After speaking, Du Shao teased Brother Hua: "Fourth brother, you will become brother-in-law from now on."

Cui Weiqi looked at Feng Zhiao and asked, "Brother, is this true?" Seeing Feng Zhiao nodding, Cui Weiqi smiled and said, "Sister Han is well educated and sensible, and has a good temperament. It is a blessing for my eldest brother to marry Sister Han." gone."

Feng Zhiao felt a little embarrassed, touched the back of his head and said, "I also only found out before my father returned to Xihai." Feng Dajun told Feng Zhiao about this before returning to Xihai.

Feng Zhiao was very surprised at that time, he had met Qiqi before when he was a guest at Han's house. In Feng Zhiao's mind, Qiqi is like someone who came out of the painting, and he never thought that such a woman would become his wife in the future.

Seeing Brother Hua's calm face, Brother Hao asked, "Cousin, you already knew about this?"

Brother Hua shook his head and said, "I just found out." It may be because of the fact that he has stayed on Zhuangzi, Brother Hua doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he really cherishes words like gold.

Cui Weiqi smiled and said, "If it wasn't for the fourth brother, you would have thought you already knew it."

Brother Hao said: "Okay, let's go into the house! The master is coming soon." Brother Hao didn't force them to take the courses of astronomy and geography.

Unexpectedly, all four of them followed him. According to Feng Zhiao, knowing the terrain is also necessary for fighting, so you should learn it in advance.

Both families were interested, and the process was quickly completed, and the Feng family sent a betrothal gift to the Han family.

The Feng family is full of sincerity, and the betrothal gifts they bought this time are forty-eight pieces of silk and satin, eight pairs of dragon and phoenix red gold bracelets, and eight pairs of red gold hairpins. In addition, there are a total of eight sets of abalone, sea cucumber, yuan shell, etc., three fish wine, four seasons tea, candy and so on. It was also Feng Dajun who followed Yunqing and made a lot of money over the years, otherwise he would never have been able to come up with such a generous dowry.

After Lu Xiu accepted the dowry, she asked someone to carry these things to Qiqi's own yard. She was able to take care of her own yard at the age of seven or eight, and started to learn housekeeping at the age of ten. These dowry gifts were most suitable for her own yard.

Knowing that the Feng family had sent a betrothal gift, Ye's tears fell again: "My son, after setting up such a family, you will have to suffer in the future." After hearing Lu Xiu say that Qi Qi was promised by Han Jianming The eldest son of the family passed out immediately.

Qi Qi straightened her spine and said: "Mother should be happy that the Feng family values ​​me so much. How can you say such a thing? If the Feng family knows what to think of me?" The words are really inappropriate.

Qiqi has been taught the rules by her nurturing mother since she was five years old, and she began to learn from her husband when she was six years old. Because of the examples of Yuxi and Yuchen, Han Jianming only asked Qiqi to learn from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the rest of the time she mainly learned some useful things. And Qiqi likes to read books very much, which is very similar to Yuxi. Over the years, Qiqi has also cultivated a bookish atmosphere.

Mrs. Ye wiped her tears and said, "Don't worry, the Feng family is just an upstart. It is his family who burned incense to marry you. They dare not treat you badly." In Mrs. Ye's heart, the son of the Feng family is not worthy. Not on his own daughter.

Qiqi has always had a good temper, but Ye Shi's words still made her a little irritable. Lu Xiu had already analyzed the benefits of this marriage very clearly with her. Besides, Feng Zhiao has also seen it, except for the fact that he is two years younger than her, there is really nothing to choose from.

Qiqi suppressed the impatience in her heart, and said patiently: "Mother, General Feng is a general with 300,000 yuan in his hand, and he is the person my uncle relies on most. If I don't do what they want, they will treat me poorly." Me, father won't turn against the Feng family because of me. Mother, in the end, I will be the one who suffers." If she married into the Feng family with the mentality her mother said, she would know the future without even thinking about it. Oh no.

Ye Shi became more and more sad.

Qiqi said: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to live a good life when I marry into the Feng family." When my aunt married my uncle in such a situation, she could live a good life. With such favorable conditions, she can live a better life.

The marriage has been settled, even if Mrs. Ye cried to death, the marriage cannot be changed.

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the first month. Yunqing has already made up his itinerary and will travel on the sixth day of February. Zao Zao approached Yun Qing: "Father, take me with you this time!"

Yun Qing didn't refuse either, but just said with a smile: "Your mother has to agree to this matter, otherwise father can't take you there." Yu Xi would definitely not agree to let Zao Zao go with him.

Zaozao hurriedly said: "Father, as long as you decide, mother will not object." Yuxi basically never objected to Yunqing's decision.

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Your mother is in charge of everything in the house, what father says doesn't matter." After finishing speaking, Yun Qing patted Zao Zao's back shoulder and said: "Stop talking. Your mother won't agree, father is won't take you away."

Zao Zao was very disappointed.

When Brother Yu saw Zaozao, she suddenly looked wrong and asked: "Elder Sister, what's wrong with you? A look of frustration?" Brother Yu is still very brotherly when he doesn't cause trouble.

Zao Zao did not say anything because Brother Yu was young: "I want to go to the battlefield with dad, but neither dad nor mother agrees." It was also because he was too young and was fooled by his parents. Feng Zhiao went to war with his father when he was ten years old, but she had to wait until she was thirteen.

Brother You has no interest in fighting: "On the battlefield, there are still dead people, what else is there to do?" Although Brother You is not afraid of blood, he doesn't like seeing dead people very much.

Zao Zao became more and more depressed: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have told you." The way is different and they are not colluding, what they are talking about is her and Brother Yu.

Brother You smiled cheerfully and said, "If you really want to go, it's not difficult. After Dad leaves, you can follow behind secretly. Dad can't drive you back when the time comes!" Fortunately, Yun Qing There are very few things to take with you when you go out, otherwise Brother Yu might let Zao Zao hide it in the box.

Before Zao Zao could speak, Brother Hao walked in from the outside, looked at Brother Yu and said, "You will come up with bad ideas?"

Brother Yu was not angry either, and said with a smile: "I also see that Eldest Sister really wants to go, and I'm trying to find a way for him!"

Brother Hao patted the back of Brother Yu's head and said, "Do you know how many people want to put our family to death? If the elder sister sneaks out of the house without guards, once someone knows about it, the elder sister will be in danger."

Touching the back of the head that was hit, Brother Yu complained, "Brother, don't slap me on the head from now on. I'm not as smart as you, if you slap me on the head again, I'll be even more stupid."

Brother Hao said angrily: "It's fine if you become stupid, at least you won't come up with bad ideas all the time." After finishing speaking, Brother Hao said to Zao Zao: "Sister, Mom and Dad asked you to turn thirteen years old before going to school." They have their own considerations on the battlefield. You must not listen to my brother's nonsense and sneak out."

Zao Zao was really tempted just now, but after hearing Brother Hao's words, he immediately dispelled this idea. Zao Zao flicked Brother Yu's forehead, and said, "Ah Hao is right, you will come up with a bad idea."

Brother Yu has a look of grievance: "Sister, am I not doing this for you? You still hit me? I won't help you anymore if something happens in the future." Just because he is young, one or two bully him. so bad.

Zao Zao let out an oh, the voice made the old elders grow longer, and then asked, "Will you help me if I have something to do in the future?"

Brother Yu hurriedly took a few steps back, clutching his forehead, and then said, "Just tell me what Elder Sister wants me to do, and I will never say anything else." This annoyed Eldest Brother, and at most he was lectured. If you annoy the eldest brother, you will be beaten up!

Brother Hao said: "Forget it this time, if you come up with such a bad idea next time, I will tell mother." Normally, Brother Hao would not tell Yu Xi about matters between brothers. It can also be regarded as a tacit understanding. But if Brother Yu kept saying it repeatedly, then he had to say it.

Brother Yu, there is nothing else to say.

The next day, Brother Hao specially took half an hour off with his husband to go to the front yard to look for Yuxi. He told Yu Xi about Zao Zao: "Mother, Eldest Sister is better at martial arts than Brother Zhi Ao, why not let her go to the battlefield? Brother Zhi Ao went to the battlefield with Uncle Dajun at the age of ten."

There was a smile on the corner of Yu Xi's mouth, and asked: "Are you here to intercede for your elder sister?"

Brother Hao didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes. Mother, Dad told Grandpa that as long as you agree, eldest sister can follow Dad to the battlefield this time."

Yuxi pulled Brother Hao to sit down, and said: "You said that your elder sister's martial arts is higher than Zhi Ao's, but this battlefield is not judged by martial arts."

Brother Hao knew that it would not be so easy to persuade Yuxi: "Mother, the eldest sister went with father just to see the real battlefield, and it is not necessary to let her go to the battlefield." Because his father will not go to the battlefield in person. Killed the enemy on the battlefield.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "The mother you are talking about naturally knows. The reason why the mother does not let your sister go is because your sister is still too impatient and needs to be sharpened." After finishing speaking, Yuxi patted Brother Hao said with the back of his hand: "If this woman wants to make a career in the army, she has to work several times harder than men. If she doesn't even have this patience, how will she compete with those men in the future?"

Brother Hao came to a sudden: "So that's the case!" At this point, it's hard for him to plead with Yuxi anymore.

Yuxi smiled and said: "You are different from your sister, as long as your father and your grandfather agree, you can go to the battlefield with your father." Worried about safety issues, Yuxi did not object to him going to the battlefield for training. After all, Brother Hao's identity destined that his life would not be peaceful.

Knowing a child is like a mother, and Brother Hao also wants to go to the battlefield. Half of the intercession for Zao Zao this time was for himself. As long as she sets this precedent and agrees to let Zao Zao go to the battlefield now, Brother Hao can use the same reason to persuade her in the future.

How could Brother Hao not know that Yuxi had seen through his little thoughts after hearing this, and he felt a little embarrassed immediately.

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Wu's voice sounded outside: "Princess, son, Mr. Tan please see me."

Brother Hao hurriedly stood up and said, "Mom, then you are busy, I'm going back to class."

Yuxi smiled and nodded, "Go!"

At noon, Brother Hao told Zao Zao about it: "Sister, I couldn't convince Mother, I'm sorry."

Zao Zao had already thought about it, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "You help me intercede with my mother, why are you still saying sorry?" This sounded a little strange!

Brother Hao repeated Yuxi's words: "Sister, I didn't expect my mother to say these words."

Zaozao was very surprised: "Really?" Seeing Brother Hao nodding, Zaozao said depressedly: "Mother's doing this is too favoritism."

Brother Hao hurriedly said: "I am a boy, and I am also the heir of the palace. It is necessary for me to go to the battlefield earlier. But you are a girl's family. If you go to the army too early, you will not get everyone's attention It will be very difficult to lead the army to fight in the future. Big sister, mother is also doing it for your own good, so don't blame mother!"

Seeing Brother Hao's nervous look, Zao Zao smiled and said, "That's all I said, I didn't really blame Mother." (To be continued)
