The fourth girl made the whole family cry again

The eldest princess made a few words of authority and suddenly felt a pair of eyes looking at her.

She moved her eyes and saw the face that she had only heard of but saw for the first time.

Liu Jiaojiao smiled at the eldest princess with a smile on her face.

An unspoken feeling spread between the two of them.

Zhou Xixi was having a great time playing with her two little boys, so she didn't notice this.

"Your Highness, Princess, how do you know that my mother and I are here?"

Zhou Xixi and the Great Sage and the Second Sage were playing a game of you shoot one and I shoot one, and then interrupted to ask.

"I was shopping when I happened to bump into Brother Bo. He said that he saw two men dressed up here who looked similar to you. I knew it was you right away!"

The eldest princess was very proud when she said this.

Zhou Xixi took the hands of the two little boys and taught them how to clap flowers, thinking that this old man Murong Bo could also tell lies!

"Your Highness, how about a chess and card room and billiards room in the teahouse on the upper and lower floors?"

The eldest princess took a very careful look at the layout and location of the toilet, and nodded appreciatively.

"Okay, it echoes our library, and it has the potential to be both civil and military."

If you can be praised by the eldest princess, you will naturally have security here in the future.

"Then we've opened the chess and card room and billiards hall, and I have to rely on you to take care of them!"

Zhou Xixi said half-coquettishly.

The eldest princess looked towards Liu Jiaojiao.

"I'm afraid I can't even get involved! You have to ask the owner of Xuanwu Street to see who dares to come here to cause trouble!"

on the way back.

Zhou Xixi fell asleep, resting her head on Liu Jiaojiao's shoulder and yawned.

However, she didn't really fall asleep.

"Mother, what kind of power is behind you? Why does the eldest princess say she can't even get involved?"

Liu Jiaojiao ran her hands along Zhou Xixi's hair, her eyes rarely becoming gentle.

"I saved an official from the DPRK and Central Government before. He had a pretty high-level official position. Don't ask who he is. He is in charge of the shops in the capital, so he naturally takes care of him secretly."

Zhou Xixi listened to what Liu Jiaojiao said so clearly, so she didn't pursue it further.

The carriage has entered the backyard of the general's mansion.

Zhou Xixi and Aunt Liu got off the car and went to Wutong Garden first, changing out of their men's clothes and into their usual home clothes.

Aunt Liu changed her clothes and saw Zhou Xixi clumsily putting on her underwear, so she reached out to help.

When her hand touched Zhou Xixi's chest, she felt it was unusually soft.

"It looks like he has grown up!"

She usually pays little attention to her daughter, but she doesn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the child will grow up to be an adult. His appearance is very similar to hers, but the heroic spirit between his eyebrows is very similar to that person.

After changing clothes, the little maid came in and said that the second master would come over to discuss something later.

It was not convenient for Zhou Xixi to stay any longer, so she returned to Zhulan Garden.

As soon as they entered Bamboo Orchid Garden, Shouya came over to greet them.

"Girl, the second girl is crying. She has been in our courtyard for two hours. In the inner room, the slaves don't dare to go in. You go and have a look."

Ah!

This was the first time Zhou Xixi saw Zhou Suisui crying.

Even if the second lady discovered the storybook that time, she argued hard to be imprisoned and never cried.

"Okay, don't worry about it. Xi Zhi has snacks I brought for you. Go and share them!"

Zhou Xixi never comes back empty-handed after going out.

Shoya happily went to find Xizhi.

Zhou Xixi entered the inner room and heard the sound of slapping.

"Hey! Second sister, what's going on? My sister has no grudge against you, right? Why are you preparing to flood my Bamboo Orchid Garden!"

There is an allusion in Zhou Xixi's storybook about the water flooding the golden mountain, which I have read every year.

Being teased like this, she burst into tears and laughed.

"You still said that! I'm so upset!"

Thinking of my worries, I feel like crying again.

Zhou Xixi personally poured tea for the two of them and sat across from Zhou Suisui.

"Second elder sister comes to see younger sister when she encounters a problem. Naturally, she trusts younger sister, so just tell her about it!"

System Xiaobao has already gone to Wuyihou Mansion to inquire about the news. Zhou Xixi has no way of knowing what happened at home.

Even though he was one year old, he said, "My mother wants to marry me to Hangzhou, saying that my maternal grandfather's family has arranged a marriage for me, and they are the best in terms of their family background and the man's character.

But I don’t want to! It's so far away from our capital city. It takes more than half a month by car and boat. If I were to get married, it wouldn't be easy to go back home.

You can tell just by looking at my mother. She has never been back to her grandfather's house in these years. When she gets homesick, she stays in the inner room and wipes her tears! I don't want to be like her! "

The second wife's natal family is in Hangzhou Prefecture. In recent years, the family's children have achieved great success, and several Jinshi scholars have been born. The Sui family is considered a famous family in that area.

Zhou Xixi didn't know how to comfort Zhou Suisui.

From the perspective of the second wife, she is homesick and wants her daughter to stay closer to home instead of her. At the same time, she must also know everything about this marriage!

With my grandpa's family taking care of me, I won't have a hard time living there year after year.

Besides, the Sui family and the Second Madam have become closer in recent years. Mr. Sui and his wife only had one daughter, so they missed her when she married away from the capital.

"What does daddy mean?" Zhou Xixi asked.

Although the matron of the family usually makes the final decision on a girl's marriage, sometimes a man's words can also play a decisive role.

When Zhou Suisui heard this, his eye circles became red again.

"You don't know yet! It's not my mother who has the final say about our second wife's affairs. Dad can only agree with it."

Got it!

Then there is nothing you can do!

"Normally, our children's marriages are based on the orders of our parents and the matchmaker, and we cannot make the final decision! Besides, second sister, think about it carefully. If you find a family in the capital or a nearby city, and you don't get what you want and live an uncomfortable life, It would be better to marry someone who knows everything about her and has someone to support her.

Besides, a married girl can’t just go back to her parents’ home!

In this case, what's the difference between marrying far away and marrying close? "

She was naturally able to understand what this meant. It was not that she didn't know the truth behind it, but she was completely unwilling to think about being so far away from home.

"My mother said that the man's matchmaker is on the way, and he will go to Beijing soon. I am already sixteen years old, and I can't delay it any longer. The earliest is the end of this year, and the latest is the beginning of next spring. I will be married. "

"So anxious?" Zhou Xixi was also unexpected.

Zhou Suisui became indignant when he said this.

"I could have stayed until I was seventeen before getting married, but it seems that the eldest sister has already set a wedding date, after autumn. My mother said that the age difference between eldest sister and me is small, and she is married. It makes no sense for me to have to wait for another two years.

In addition, the third sister also has a matchmaker who comes to inquire about the news, so in order for me not to block the way of the sisters behind me, I have to get married as soon as possible. "

Zhou Xixi was also speechless. There were many girls in the family, and marrying someone according to their age was like chasing away a ghost.

Good thing she's the youngest one!

After talking to Zhou Suisui for a while, I felt a lot better.

"Sister, can you ask Aunt Liu to ask someone to find out the details of that family?"

Zhou Suisui was somewhat shy when he said this.

Zhou Xixi naturally understood what she meant.

Since the man wants to get married, he will inevitably cover up some things that cannot be seen in person and deliberately avoid the Sui family. And Aunt Liu's business is spread all over the Northern Dynasty, so it is naturally easy to inquire about a person's family, and it is more objective.

Zhou Suisui doesn't want to gamble her life's happiness!

In fact, marrying a woman in ancient times was not a huge gamble!

Zhou Xixi naturally wouldn't shirk it and said she would talk to Aunt Liu later.

I was very grateful to Zhou Xixi. I washed my face and gave Zhou Xixi a delicate purse before leaving.

Zhou Suisui is really good at embroidery, but he is usually lazy. If he really puts his heart into it, he will naturally do it better than others.

Zhou Xixi couldn't put it down when she looked at the golden gourd embroidered with gold thread on her purse.

For this purse, Zhou Xixi made a special trip to Wutong Garden when her first birthday was gone.

As soon as she entered Wutong Garden, she met the second master coming out of the inner room.

Zhou Xixi slapped her forehead and wondered how she had forgotten this!

"Greetings to Daddy!"

The second master seemed to be in a good mood today, humming a little tune, and even expressed some concern for Zhou Xixi when he saw her.

It's just that the father and daughter were not familiar with each other, and the words they said were indifferent. The more they talked, the more embarrassed they became, so they said goodbye in a hurry.

Zhou Xixi went into the inner room and told her about her first birthday.

Aunt Liu looked up at her and smiled.

"The second master just came here for this matter, and you too? It seems that I can't do it without helping you!"

Zhou Xixi was surprised.

"Does my father take good care of my second sister?"

Aunt Liu: "How can I ignore my biological daughter? It's not like a son is marrying a wife, so naturally you have to find out who the girl is marrying! Don't worry, I will find out for you when you get married!"

As he talked, the topic got brought up on him.

Zhou Xixi was not embarrassed at all.

"Mom, you have to find a family for your daughter that is easy to bully. It's best if your daughter keeps her word, so she won't be offended!"

Aunt Liu tapped her forehead with her finger.

"Don't be ashamed! How old are you like this!"

Zhou Xixi had dinner at Wutong Garden before returning to Zhulan Garden.

After washing up, Zhou Xixi sat in the courtyard to dry her hair and enjoy the cool air.

It was a very boring day in June. There was a cold feeling in the room that penetrated into the skin, making it very uncomfortable. Zhou Xixi actually liked the suffocating feeling.

System Xiaobao went out for a whole day and finally came back under the cover of night.

[Host, I’ve asked everything that needs to be asked! 】

Zhou Xixi became interested when she heard the news.

【oh? Say it quickly. 】

System: [This Marquis Wu Yi is a lucky man! The experience is similar to that of our old general. He was born in a poor family, but he gained military merit through his brute force and gradually rose to the position of general.

Later, his daughter entered the palace and gave birth to a pair of twins. In order to reward her, the emperor made her a Marquis of Wuyi. However, although she was a Marquis, it was not hereditary, just for this life! 】

Zhou Xixi: [There is no difference between not having a hereditary marquis and giving away two acres of land to his family. When Marquis Wuyi dies and Concubine Cui burps, then Cui Yunfei should go and eat Xiang! 】

System: [Yes, yes, this Crown Prince Cui has offended many people by relying on his family's short-lived prosperity. More than half of the powerful families in the capital have enemies with him. If his father dies in the future, even his enemies will be able to take advantage of him. He unloaded it! 】
