Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 794

After Hou Yanting went out, she stood and thought for a while, and then went to her parents' yard.

If I wait for my mother to be alone, I don’t know how long it will take. My father is like the shadow of my mother. As long as I am at home, I will follow my mother.

When she dragged her brother back just now, the two had an argument. She said that if his brother always behaved like this, who would take care of him in future marriages.

Hou Baoshan said in a fit of anger that he didn't need anyone to ask for help, and he already had someone he liked.

Hou Yanting was taken aback, fearing that her brother would be fascinated by the unscrupulous people outside, she pressed her hard, at first Hou Baoshan didn't tell, Hou Yanting said you didn't tell, and the family made you betrothed to someone else, what do you want?
Only then did Hou Baoshan say that she was Xi Mulan, the cousin of Princess Huo Yinggui of Yuzhang County, but also the cousin of the Second Princess.

Xi Mulan's mother and Huo Yinggui's mother are sisters, and they are cousins ​​with Concubine Ning's current Concubine Ning.

And her father, Xi Shuxue, was the cousin of the abolished concubine Shu, who served as the supervisor of the Imperial Academy.Hou Baoshan had studied in the Imperial College, so he met Xi Mulan and secretly admired him.

Although the Concubine Xi was not implicated by concubine Shu to ransack her home and dismiss her, it was an embarrassing situation. Hou Yanting never thought that her brother would fall in love with the young lady of the Xi Mansion.

So she wants to tell her mother that she also knows that it is impossible for the children in the family to marry whoever they like, and all aspects must be weighed, and her marriage will be like this in the future.

Seeing his daughter coming in, Hou Binggui in the room asked, "What's the matter?"

"Daughter wants to talk to mother."

"Then tell me."

Hou Yanting: ...

Mrs. Zheng stepped forward and said, "The old master told me to show my concubine a book of poems, so I went to the study to help my concubine find it."

Only then did Hou Binggui realize that the mother and daughter wanted to have a private conversation, and he was happy to see the result, so he got up and went to the study.

Sitting down to face her mother, Hou Yanting didn't know how to speak, Zheng thought she was speaking for her brother, and her stepson had a bad face today.

But she didn't mention it, and she didn't say anything about your brother being unintentional.

I'm too lazy to waste my saliva on this, and tell the master that it's a last resort.

Hou Yanting first said something else, some unimportant things, and then said something about her brother's liking for Xi's wife.

Zheng's accident, she knew about the embarrassing situation in Xi's mansion, but she didn't know the details, let alone the little lady in the mansion.

"Have you seen that little lady?"

"I saw it once. It was my cousin who took me, and Princess Huo took her cousin. I didn't pay much attention at that time, but I didn't think it was like Princess Huo. It was very gentle."

Zheng smiled, and the son inherited the father's business, no, the son inherited the ancestor's business, the second wife of the Hou family prefers gentle women from scholars.

"You and your brother's marriage, today the Le'an county lord came and asked about it, and said that it's time to find out. I told her that I don't know anyone in Beijing well."

Hou Yanting didn't expect the Le'an county magistrate to come to inquire. She thought it might be because of her natal family's royal palace, but because of others, the county magistrate has been visiting each house for the past six months.

She was in a hurry, because she was afraid that Le'an would say that she would not be able to get married, and felt that the county magistrate would not be a good matchmaker.

"Mother, no, ask my aunt about this matter. She looks good. If Mrs. Xi is not suitable, it's better to let my brother give up earlier."

Hou Yanting was talking about Jia Xibei's grandmother, the old aunt of the Hou family.

Mrs. Zheng thought, your family is always looking for Jia's family for business, no wonder Mr. Jia wants to interfere in the master's marriage.

"Then I'll take you to Jia's house tomorrow to pay my respects."

Of course, your Hou family will tell the Hou family about this matter, so as not to say that I am troublesome in the future.

Hou Yanting went back and whispered to her brother that Hou Baoshan stayed up all night, looking forward to it.

Because of Concubine Shu's affairs in Xi's mansion, except for those who are in office, other people close the door and do not go out, and others hide when they go out.

Xi Mulan's mother started crying every day, secretly cursing Concubine Shu and the eldest prince.

They had been avoiding them before, but the accident caused Xi's house to suffer. His son, Xi Fangfu, was dismissed, and the family that his daughter had planned to make up with before did not come to the house anymore.

Qian looked at her daughter and wanted to cry. Fortunately, she had a niece who didn't avoid suspicion and came to visit her often.

But recently, the niece is pregnant and cannot come here often. Outsiders think that the concubine of Yuzhang County hides from Xi's mansion. The son is easy to talk about.
Think and cry again.

Xi Mulan had no choice but to comfort her: "Mother, don't think about that, I'm not yet fifteen, it won't be too late to make a decision in a few years, it happens that my daughter is at home to spend more time with my parents."

"You will be married in two months. Mother still wants to hold a lively wedding ceremony for you. I'm sorry for you. She always wanted to take advantage of your cousin to choose a good family, which delayed you."

So what if Xi Mulan made up his mind, didn't his brother get divorced?But I can't mention it, or my mother will cry endlessly.

"Mother, marriage is predestined. Cousin would never expect to be a princess when she came to Beijing, so don't worry, mother. There is no young lady who can't marry. Cousin said, she will help me choose someone."

Qian's heart feels bad, marrying a bad family and suffering, it is better not to marry.

But with my niece around, there is always hope.

After Xi Mulan comforted her mother, she went back to the house by herself with a depressed expression.

In the past, she had a longing for marriage, longing to marry a husband-in-law who was in love with her, and envied her friend Tang Shuyue and her cousin. Before she fell in love with a son-in-law, the palace change affected the family.

No one would take the initiative to propose marriage to the Xi Mansion at this time. They were all waiting to see what would happen in the future. After all, the Xi Mansion was not only Concubine Shu's natal family, but also Princess Yuzhang County's aunt's house, and Concubine Ning was Qian's cousin.

But the young lady's age can't afford to wait, wait and see for a few years, is it possible that she will be used as a house fill in the future?

After all, Xi Mulan was also a teenage girl, she pretended to be fine in front of her mother, and shed tears after returning home.

Worrying about my elder brother again, he was divorced, and my elder brother was also hit, so he was depressed every day.

After a while, my mother came in with several gift boxes in her hand.

"Mulan, you go to the county prince's mansion to see your cousin, this is what mother prepared for your cousin."

Xi Mulan sighed, knowing that it was inconvenient for her cousin to go out, so she wanted to come by herself.

"Okay, I'll change clothes."

Qian put down her things and helped her choose a dress for her daughter. She chose a dress that was not very ostentatious and elegant, and put on two simple jewelry. She asked her son, who was bored at home, to go with her daughter.

After getting in the car, Xi Mulan saw her brother like that, and couldn't help but said again: "Brother, I really don't want to see my brother like this, there is no grass anywhere in the world, brother, study hard, and when you end up in August, you won Juren, why don't you?" Worried about no good people taking a fancy to my brother? My cousin once said that it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky and the earth."

Xi Fangfu was full of ambitions before and was planning to pass the provincial examination this year. He hoped to get married in a prosperous manner after winning the exam, but his fiancée's family retired.

It's not that she's not the one to marry, it's just that she feels ashamed.

"Sister, I know, my father taught me a lesson, I'm fine, I won't think too much about it."

Xi Mulan complained in her heart, she looked like she had nothing to love when she was fine, she didn't know how to save her parents' worries, such a big man made her mother worry, childish.

　Continue to code, there is no time for dinner at night.

　　Two updates today.
