Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 96

Xue Shu and Ye Ya walked back together, Xue Shu purposely walked on the right side of his daughter-in-law, using his shadow to shield her from the sun.

"Daughter-in-law, why have you stayed at Second Aunt's house for so long?" He had been looking forward to her coming back soon.

Ye Ya looked at him, "Ah Shu, a matchmaker is here to propose marriage to Chun Xing, if Second Aunt agrees, Chun Xing will get married soon, are you willing?"

Xue Shu opened his mouth wide in shock. He grabbed Ye Ya, stared at her and asked, "Who is she going to marry? Does she want to live in someone else's house after she gets married?"

Ye Ya nodded, "I'm not sure who I'm going to marry, but it's coming soon anyway. If you get married, of course you will live in her husband's house."

Thinking that the girl who loves to sew clothes for him is leaving, Xue Shu is very reluctant: "Do you have to get married?"

"Yeah, if you don't get married, you have to be an old girl. In the future, the tiger's daughter-in-law will despise her, and others will gossip about her." Ye Ya seriously explained to him, this idiot, if he doesn't make it clear now, who knows how he will be do something stupid.

Xue Shu snorted, "Then take Chunxing to live with us!"

Ye Ya couldn't help laughing, "You, you are so stupid, think about it, Mrs. Chun Xing will treat her as well as you treat me. Chun Xing will enjoy the blessings when she gets married, how can you not let her go because you are reluctant to let her go?" She's married. Don't worry, even if she gets married, she will come back to see us during the holidays, that's called going back to her mother's house."

"Oh..." If Chun Xing was blessed in the past and would go home often, that would be okay. Xue Shu didn't feel so uncomfortable, but suddenly thought of something and looked at Ye Ya nervously, "Daughter-in-law , where is your home? When will you go back to your mother's house?" When his sister got married, he hoped that she would come home more often, but when it was his daughter-in-law's turn, he didn't want her to go home.

Being grabbed by his arm vigorously, Ye Ya was very at ease, she looked at him and smiled, her voice was gentle and calm: "My home is far away, and I can never go back, so I will always live with Ah Shu. Ah Shu, you are not allowed to bully me again, otherwise if I go back to my mother's house in anger, you will never find me again."

Very far away, how far is that?
Xue Shu couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it any more. He held Ye Ya's hand tightly and walked home, "I won't bully my wife, I won't make you angry, and I won't let you go back to your mother's house."

It was time for lunch, and there were no villagers on the road, so Ye Ya let him hold her in peace, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Turning the corner, the two had a meal at the same time, and there was a tall horse tied to the door of their own house!
Ye Ya was full of doubts, and wanted to ask Xue Shu, but seeing that he was even more surprised than she was, she hurriedly trotted towards the house, and all the servants who reported her happiness came on foot, who is it?The Xue family has no friends or relatives who can afford a horse. Could it be Xue Bai's classmate?Thinking of this possibility, Ye Ya stopped again, straightened Xue Shu's clothes, and led people to the back door.It's better to wait outside for a while, it's inconvenient for her to see a male guest, and Xue Shu is afraid of causing trouble for Xue Bai.

Xue Bai and Xue Song invited Lin Yixiu to the east room of Xue's house, but they didn't know where to let him sit.No matter how calm Xue Bo was, he was still just a fledgling young man, he could be calm outside, but it was the first time that such a person came to visit him at home, and he was still a little nervous.

"You two don't need to be polite. Please forgive Lin for visiting me rashly." Lin Yixiu smiled gently. Seeing four wooden stools on the ground, he pulled them over and sat down.The movements are skillful and natural, as if he was used to sitting in the past. However, in his capacity, no matter whether he is in the capital county or in the town, he has never seen this kind of rough wooden stool. Xue Bo even suspected that the wooden stool Will the place where the four stool legs are inserted into the stool surface damage the muslin straight sleeve on his body?

The two brothers looked at each other and sat down opposite him.

There was no tea or hot water at home, so Xue Bo simply stopped messing around and asked directly, "I don't know what Lin Jieyuan's trip is for?" He only said hello yesterday, so he wouldn't come to him to catch up with him because of that. Bar?There must be something important.

Lin Yixiu was also straight to the point: "Ms. Lin is very fond of Miss Xue Xing. I beg Xue brother to be a matchmaker and make a match for me in front of Uncle Ling. If I am lucky enough to agree, my father will come to propose marriage in person in a few days."

The tone was calm and calm, unprecedentedly serious.

He liked that girl, and thought that if we met again, he would propose marriage to her.

However, since that glimpse in the car, he came to town several times, but never saw her again.He couldn't see it, but wanted to see it even more. He couldn't help it, and often wandered on the main street, hoping to meet "by fate".Once or twice, several times to no avail. Slowly, he began to believe that he was not destined for her, and his father wondered why he went back and forth between the county seat and Dongqiao town so frequently, so he stopped thinking and had nothing else to do.

He really didn't think much of her.She didn't affect him too much, but occasionally appeared in his life, reminding him that he had met such a girl before.

Occasionally when I get tired of reading, her bright and charming smile will suddenly appear in my mind.Occasionally, when he was walking on the street and heard a similar voice, he looked back slowly, only to realize that the person who spoke was not her.Then, I would dream of her occasionally, very beautiful dream, just like the one described in the book, in the dream, he even talked to her and got close to her, polite but warm, but after waking up from the dream, apart from a touch of sadness, Life goes on.

He thought the matter was over like this. He had nothing to do with her, but he unexpectedly met Xue Bai in the medical clinic. With just one glance, he saw the similarities between the two in Xue Bai, and then recognized that In the evening, Xue Bai was with two other men, protecting her.He had heard from A Xuan that the three of them were Hu Zi's elder brothers, so they would also be her elder brothers.

In a rural town, a scholar is a very respectable status. When her elder brother becomes famous, her worth will also rise.

Is she married?Have you already said kiss?

Lin Yixiu immediately realized that this was his last chance.He didn't want to wait for anything to meet again, he wanted to take the initiative to fight for it.

He immediately asked Lin Yi'an to arrange a suitable woman to inquire about Xue Bai.Before the mother-in-law left, he specially instructed her to ask Xue Bai tactfully if she had a younger brother named Huzi, if Huzi had older sisters, how many older sisters, how old they were, and whether they were married or engaged.

At dusk, the mother-in-law brought the news he wanted. Her boudoir name was Xue Xing, and she was in the year of Sheng. Because her cousin Xue Bai was selected as a scholar, and she was born bright and charming, many people visited her recently. family proposal.

He just knew that such a good girl, how could no one care about her?
But she was his.

The city gate was closed yesterday, Lin Yixiu didn't have time to go back, so he set off before dawn this morning, and invited him to the study before Lin Cheng went out.

Lin Chengzhong lost his wife in his middle age and there was no reunion, and now he is in his thirties, although he was looking forward to the early marriage of his eldest son, but because Lin Yixiu was calm and assertive, he did not force him to make the decision for him.Seeing him rushing over at this time, he said that he had fallen in love with a girl and wanted to marry her. He was surprised and delighted, and quickly asked which family the girl was from.

Lin Yixiu knew that his father had no views of the family, nor did he intend to marry a powerful man to help the two families, so he confessed everything.

Lin Cheng was silent for a moment, and asked: "Is it too impulsive to propose marriage only on the basis of three parties? You must not be greedy for the beauty of other girls. You will regret it after marrying in the future, and you missed her."

Lin Yixiu laughed, "Father, you are worrying too much. My son is confident that he knows people. Although he only has three faces, he knows that she is a gentle and polite woman. What's even more rare is that his son just looks at her."

Lin Cheng was slightly surprised, the eldest son was restrained, when did he say such straightforward words?He stroked his short beard, squinted his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, I'll arrange a matchmaker another day..."

"Father," Lin Yixiu interrupted him, "Father, after all, her family lives in a remote mountain. If I propose marriage rashly, their family may think too much, thinking that I have other plans. So my son wants to go to the mountain to ask someone to say Xiang, if it is done, please ask father to come to propose marriage in person to show his solemnity, okay?"

The man's father personally went to the woman's marriage proposal, which was very important to the marriage and gave the woman a lot of face.

Lin Cheng looked at the calm face of his eldest son, thinking that he had rarely been impulsive since he was a child, so he readily agreed.

Seeing Lin Yixiu's serious and sincere face, Xue Bai and Xue Song were both shocked.Being able to get his father's consent shows his attitude towards Chun Xing.

Lin Yixiu said again: "Ms. Lin and Ms. Xue had a relationship on three fronts, and she wanted to marry her for a long time. However, she had nowhere to inquire about her family background, so she delayed until now. I was lucky enough to meet Brother Xue yesterday, and only then did I know Ms. Xue's identity. Please rest assured. , Lin sincerely asks to marry, and has no other intentions. My father has been an official for many years, and he never sees his family background. My mother died early, and Lin's family has no female relatives except the servants. When dealing with outsiders, Lin will take good care of her."

Xue Bai nodded. He had heard about the family style of the Lin family, and was not worried that Chun Xing would be treated lightly by Lin's father.As for how sincere Lin Yixiu is...

"Lin Jieyuan, if Xue is willing to be a matchmaker for you, if your uncle recovers in the future, can you give Xue some advice? After all, we are in-laws..."

Lin Yixiu didn't change his face, looked at Xue Bai meaningfully, and shook his head slightly, "Brother Xue, don't try, if it works, I will treat you as family members. If there is a need, as long as I have a clear conscience, I will do my best to help. As for you Just based on your words, I know that you are not a person who seeks wealth through relationships." Otherwise, he would have already agreed.

Officials are not allowed to help each other, just because marriage is not used as a bargaining chip.Seeing through the temptation, Xue Bo laughed instead of anger, folded his hands to make amends, and looked at Xue Song.

Lin Yixiu behaved modestly and spoke frankly, he didn't talk around like the third brother. Xue Song was quite satisfied with him, but thinking of the rules of three wives and four concubines in a big family, he said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Lin Jieyuan, for your kindness. My cousin was born in the mountains, and since she was a child, she has seen husband and wife together, so she might not be able to accept her husband taking concubines. Lin Jieyuan has a bright future, so let's find another daughter from a rich family to help manage the house."

"Don't worry, the Lin family doesn't have the rule of taking concubines. Since I'm married, there will be only one wife in the back house." Lin Yixiu promised calmly. Seeing that Xue Song and the two had nothing to say, he got up and saluted them solemnly. "Ms. Lin sincerely proposes to marry me. I would be very grateful to ask the two of you to intercede for me in front of my uncle and aunt."

Xue Bai hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Lin Jieyuan, don't worry, since you are willing to treat each other sincerely, we, as brothers, will definitely take care of her." He deliberately emphasized the word "brother".

A trace of helplessness flashed in Lin Yixiu's eyes, and he said goodbye: "Then Lin will wait for the good news and come back in three days."
