Chapter 935 Cheerful
Sun rise. The snow on the branches and the roof was instantly coated with a layer of colorful light. The thick white snow gradually changed from colorful to crystal clear under the sunlight.
Qi Hao opened his eyes and heard a ticking sound. After sitting up, Qi Hao looked at the sunny outside again: "What's the sound of ticking outside?"
Yuan Yuan took out his clothes and said, "It's the sound of snow water." The snow melted and fell from the eaves, landing on the blue bricks.
Qi Hao snorted, looked at Brother Xuan next to him and asked, "Where are A Rui and A You?"
As soon as these words fell, Brother Xuan woke up. Brother Xuan looked around and asked, "Brother, where is this?" The layout of the wing room was changed, so Brother Xuan didn't recognize it for a while.
"Third young master, this is the west wing of the main courtyard." After a pause, he said roundly, "Master Shi, the first young master and the second young master are sleeping in the back room, and they haven't woken up yet."
Brother Xuan remembered what happened yesterday, and asked, "Where are your father and mother? Are you still in the house?" In fact, Brother Xuan only drank half a bowl of wine yesterday, but this wine has too much stamina.
He shook his head again and said, "The prince and the princess went out after breakfast. The princess went to the front yard, and the prince went out." As for where Yun Qing went, she didn't know.
Knowing that it was already early noon, Brother Xuan said while putting on his clothes, "This wine is really a mistake." Ever since I was sensible, I have woken up every day at dawn, and today is the latest one.
Qi Hao said with a smile, "It's a rare pleasure, otherwise my mother wouldn't let us drink alcohol." He was also extremely happy yesterday, and then unknowingly drank too much. Mainly because Yun Qing and Yu Xi were both there, Qi Hao had no worries. If he is outside, he will never drink. Qi Hao still has this self-control.
At noon, Yunqing and Yuxi didn't go back to the backyard for lunch, only the two brothers ate together. Because Oak-hee had already asked for leave for them and their husbands and masters, Qi Hao and Brother Xuan took the books and read them in the room.
At the end of Shen Shi, Brother Rui and Brother You woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, Brother Rui touched his head and shouted loudly, "My head hurts..."
Brother You touched his head and said, "Second brother, why do you have a headache?" Why didn't he feel it.
Tong Fang explained next to him: "Drinking too much alcohol will cause headaches. Don't drink so much alcohol next time."
Brother Rui felt very aggrieved, so he only drank more than one bowl, his father and eldest sister both drank two or three bowls. In fact, Yun Qing drank the most last night and drank three bowls. However, Yunqing is very good at drinking, and can drink two catties of white wine.
Mother Quan laughed and scolded: "You are still wronged. The lord vomited all over his body yesterday." Yun Qing was not so particular, he put him down and went to take a shower. If she vomited on Yuxi, it is estimated that she would be punished today.
When Brother Rui heard this, he wished he could burrow into the ground. He actually threw up his father, how would he face his father! And with what happened last night, it is estimated that the mother will not let him drink alcohol.
Seeing this, Brother Xuan hurriedly comforted him and said, "Second brother, eldest sister not only spit out the second sister's house last night, but also screamed and howled until midnight."
"Ah...isn't the eldest sister's drinking capacity always good? Why is she drunk?"
Ayou lay in bed and didn't want to get up, so he said lazily, "eldest sister said that she is not drunk, do you really believe it?" Eldest sister likes to brag the most, so when it comes to Zazao, Brother You will see the situation.
Not long after Qi Rui and Qi You cleaned up, Yun Qing and Yu Xi came back.
Qi Hao lowered his head and said with a face of remorse: "Father, mother, I'm sorry, I made you tired last night."
Oak Xi touched his head and said with a smile, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? What kind of thing is this?" Qi Hao's wine is the best.
Yun Qing patted him on the shoulder and said, "How can a boy be so chatty.
But in the future, you have to practice your alcohol intake, but you can't get drunk if you drink it, otherwise how will you socialize in the future? "
Yu Xi glared at Yun Qing and said helplessly, "Ahao, don't listen to your father, drinking is not a good thing, you can't drink it or not." As Qihao, he didn't need any entertainment. Up to now, Yunqing often forgets his current identity.
Yun Qing realized that what he said was wrong, and he didn't object, just pinched his nose.
Seeing this, Qi Hao pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I'll listen to my mother." He doesn't like drinking very much. First, the taste of wine is too strong, and second, it is easy to make mistakes when drunk.
Brother Rui was about to speak when he heard Zaozao's voice.
Yuxi knew what happened to Zaozao in Biqin Garden last night: "Liu'er, you were tired last night." It was midnight last night, and the whole Biqin Garden didn't rest well.
Zao Zao blushed when he heard this and said, "Mother, I didn't mean it either." Zao Zao woke up after a while in the afternoon and felt very sorry after knowing what he had done.
Yuxi snorted coldly: "Let people know what it's like, and you are not allowed to drink at home or in the army in the future." Zaozao has never been drunk at home before, and he will never be drunk in the army. So even Oak Hee didn't know that Zao Zao would be so scary when drunk.
Zaozao said pitifully, "Mother, I won't be able to do it in the future." As for whether she won't drink or not, only she herself knows.
Yun Qing hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, the food is ready, let's eat!" The culprit was him, if he didn't roast the sheep, he wouldn't be drunk.
After dinner, Oak-hee asked Liu Er to stay. Brother Rui hesitated and said to Yuxi, "Mother, can we not do our homework tonight?" It was a rare day to relax, and he didn't want to do homework at all.
Oakhee smiled and said, "Yes."
After leaving the yard, Brother Rui said to Qi Hao and the others, "Brother, Ah Xuan, Ah You, can we guess the boxing later?"
Brother You was the first to object: "If you don't play, it doesn't make any sense at all. It's better to compare the arrows!"
Brother Rui is also willing to compete with arrows, but the problem is that it is dark now, and it is not realistic to compete with arrows.
A Xuan said: "You can split words or guess riddles." Brother Xuan likes more elegant things.
Brother Rui is unwilling to do his homework, how could he possibly play riddles. Finally, he asked Qi Hao's opinion: "Brother, what do you think is good to play?"
Qi Hao glanced at Brother Rui and said, "I still have a lot of homework to do. I have to go back to do my homework." Yuxi said that he rested today, he only restrained himself and would not force Brother Rui to be the same as him.
Zaozao, who has been silent for a while, said cheerfully, "Arui, go to my yard, and I will practice with you."
Brother Rui is unwilling, and he is a sandbag to practice with Zaozao. Every time I was beaten I couldn't fight back.
Zaozao said: "I don't want to pull it." It's a bit regretful to say it, it would be great if every day was like yesterday. Ahem, happy times always go by very fast.
Liu Er thought it was about Zazao, and as Yuxi entered the study, she hurriedly said, "Mother, although the eldest sister was a little noisy last night, she was just saying that she wanted to become the general and the marshal, and she wanted to live forever. Nothing else was said." Confidential matters, not a word was disclosed.
"Hmph, it's just her, who is still alive and well?" If it wasn't for her paving the way with Yun Qing, Zazao would not even be a child of peace and stability. But then again, it is because he thinks that he can protect his child that he has cultivated this lawless son of Zao Zao.
Liu'er said sincerely: "Mother, I think it's good for eldest sister to be like this." After a pause, Liu'er said again: "Mother, it's also because of you and father's support that eldest sister can live so comfortably." The more she learned about the outside world, the more Liu Er felt that their sisters were very lucky.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while before getting to the point: "Liu'er, your father means to promise you to Cui Weiqi, what do you think?"
Liu'er is not Zazao, and when she talks about her marriage, her face immediately turns red. Bowing her head and pinching the corners of her clothes, Liu Er said softly, "Mother, you can decide this matter with your father." That voice was like a mosquito's chirping, and if it wasn't for the quietness of the room, it wouldn't have been heard.
Yuxi held Liu'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, you won't be ready until the end of next year. The marriage will not be decided until you are there. You can think about it during this time." When you think about it, it's actually for her and Cui Weiqi. opportunity to get along. Only when you get along can you know if it's suitable or not.
Liu Er heard Yu Xi's words, and immediately hesitated: "Mother, will this be bad?" The marriage event should be the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, and the behavior of her eldest sister is already very serious. Out of line.
"Marriage is an important event in a lifetime, and there is no room for mistakes." After a pause, Yuxi said, "Liu'er, mother hope you can find someone you like like your big sister!" She was lucky enough to meet Yun Qing. . But how many women are unhappy in their marriages, and their sons are having a hard time.
Liu Er lowered his head and said nothing.
Yuxi stroked Liu Er's head and said, "I live it myself, don't care what other people say. Besides, you don't have to think so much about everything because you have parents." The only bad thing about Liu Er is that you think too much. Many, the mind is a little heavy.
Liu Er nodded lightly.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "If you think Cui Weiqi is not suitable, tell your mother, and she will find a better one for you." Liu'er is different from Zaozao. Except for some necessary entertainment, he basically doesn't go out much. The probability of being a man is very low, and she still has to help her to see each other.
"Okay." Liu'er received the most orthodox education and was very particular about men's and women's defense, so she basically never went to the front yard. Cui Weiqi has been in the palace for four years, and he has only met him twice in the main courtyard. He is not familiar with Cui Weiqi and Liu Er.
Liu'er could hide things in her heart, knowing that if she asked Zazao and Qihao now, they would definitely see the clues, so she didn't say a word. I'm going to ask Zao Zao again in the next year, but of course I won't ask directly.
On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, something from Jiangnan arrived. Han Jianming was very measured, and he gave all the things that were not expensive but very special. Among them is a small box, which contains paper-cuts of various patterns.
Meilan took out a pair of paper-cuts of a fat doll holding a carp, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." The fat doll's mouth cracked and smiled while holding the carp, which was very cute.
These paper-cuts are Liu Er's favorite: "Mother, how did you cut these out?" What a clever hand!
Oak-hee didn't know much about this either. Jingcheng and Haocheng also had the skill of paper-cutting, but the craftsmanship was not as good.
Liu Er thought for a moment and asked, "Then I will ask Mr. Meng." Mr. Meng is old and experienced, and has helped Liu'er to answer a lot of questions. So she felt that Mr. Meng should know about this.
Yuxi laughed: "The old gentleman has a lot of knowledge, maybe he knows something about this." Paper-cuts are usually made by women, and Mr. Meng, who is a rhythm student, probably doesn't know much about it. However, she did not attack Liu Er's enthusiasm.
Mei Lan walked in and said, "Princess, the woman next to the second uncle's wife came over to ask the princess if she was free in the afternoon?" Mrs. Lu asked someone to come over and ask this question, indicating that something was up.
Oak Hee said, "Let her Shin Shimo come over."
At the end of Shen Shimo, Mrs Lu came on time.
Seeing Lu Shi, Yuxi was a little surprised. Mrs. Lu was wearing a red and gold embroidered jacket, combed a peony bun, and had a red gold phoenix hairpin inserted into the bun, which was very gorgeous.
Lu shi stretched out his hand to support the phoenix hairpin on his head, and said with a smile, "I just finished attending the banquet in Yuan Mansion."
Yuxi asked, "Mrs. Yuan's banquet, what is it for?" Mrs. Yuan, the Xiao family, likes to be lively, and holds banquets every three to five meetings. Yuan Ying is now the minister of military affairs, with a high position and authority, and everyone who receives the post will come to support.
Knowing that Yuxi was busy, Mrs. Lu would not ask about these matters: "The second young master of the Yuan family is fourteen years old, and Mrs. Yuan has been seeing people for him recently."
Yuxi asked with a smile, "Then Madam Yuan has a girl you like this time?" She also said casually, not really caring about Yuan Last's marriage.
Lu Shi hesitated and said, "Mrs. Yuan seems to have taken a fancy to the eldest girl from General Anyuan's mansion." General Anyuan is the title of Liu Yongnan, her eldest daughter is thirteen years old this year, and the age is quite suitable for Yuan Chu. .
Yu Xi chuckled, "I really dare to think about it." If Yuan Last had the ability and willingness to make progress, this marriage might still be possible. But Yuan Chu was illiterate, and the Xiao family dared to think of the eldest daughter of the Liu family. You must know that Liu Yongnan is also a general with great power, and his official rank is not lower than Yuan Ying.
Lu said: "Everyone with discernment knows this." No matter how strict Yuan Ying is, Yuan Chu's ignorance and incompetence can't hide from everyone. Although Lu knew, but there were no girls of the right age in the Han residence, so she didn't take it to heart.
Yuxi smiled, Mrs. Liu was not a fool and it was impossible for Mrs. Xiao to fool her.
Mrs Lu said: "Princess, this time is for Brother Chang. I just received a letter from the eldest master. The eldest master asked me if I could find a suitable candidate?"
This was what Oak-hee expected. When Han Jianming's things were delivered on the front foot, Mrs. Lu came to ask to see him on the back foot, and it was for Brother Chang'er: "You can choose someone."
The Lu family chose two people, one is Xu Zhen's eldest daughter Xu Yue, and the other is Lu Fei's second daughter Lu Lanlan.
Yu Xi thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, these two girls are average looking."
Lu nodded and said: "The appearance is indeed average, but they are very capable." The two girls are not outstanding in appearance. Among them, Xu Yue is quite handsome, and Lu Lanlan is the kind of person who can't be found in the crowd. It's just that Han Jianming asked for ability and family background, and appearance was second.
Oak Xi frowned, but didn't say much: "Since you've figured it out, write a letter and tell Big Brother!" (To be continued)
