Chapter 60

Cao Zhan thought of the group of women in the backyard who were assembled to get rid of his stepmother, and they would be surrounded by them chattering all day long after returning home. He was so annoyed to death. He didn't plan to continue raising so many women for nothing after getting married. Anyway, I haven't touched it, and I can get rid of it all by then.And to be honest, since his mother passed away, he has seen through how his stepmother fights with his father's group of concubines, and his stepmother makes trouble for him from time to time, framed him, and his father With a headache every day, he is absolutely unwilling to engage a group of women to embarrass himself.Anyway, the old man said that as long as he gets married, he will immediately ask the emperor to let him set up his own family, and then he will take the money he has earned over the years to set up his own family with Qingxue, live a good life, and be mad at the stepmother who is doing small things behind her back all day With a group of concubines and concubines.

So for the three conditions that Xie Qingxue said before, except that going to the military camp is a bit embarrassing, the other two are not a problem at all, and if you go to the military camp, just go, it's nothing more than going to play for a few months, and she can't play tricks when she comes back.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhan nodded with a smile on his face, "OK, then it's settled."

Xie Qingxue raised her head, "Okay, get rid of the women in your yard first, and then go to the barracks for half a year and I will marry you, and I will never break my promise!" She didn't believe that Cao Zhan could do it.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Afterwards, Cao Zhan wanted to continue to follow Xie Qingxue, but Xie Qingxue refused, choked him a few words in a bad tone, and followed Xu Xiaofu and the Meng family down the mountain.

After getting into the carriage, Xu Xiaofu looked at Xie Qingxue and finally smiled, and asked, "Qingxue, you went to see Master Wen Li, what did Master Wen Li say?"

Xie Qingxue said: "Master Wen Li's words are also ambiguous, and I don't quite understand what Master Wen Li said." She asked Master Wen Li if his future marriage would be entangled with Cao Zhan, Master Wen Li I only said, everything is predestined, don't force it, don't reject it in your heart.

Mrs. Meng looked at Xie Qingxue, frowned and said, "Qingxue, why did you promise Prince Cao to marry him just now? If he really did, wouldn't you dig your own grave? Moreover, you talk about yourself without shyness in the public like this." If the news of the marriage gets out, those people will have something to chew on again."

Xie Qingxue didn't care about these gazes, "What are you afraid of, anyway, my reputation has been ruined by this bastard now, it's up to the outsiders to say what they want."

Xu Xiaofu and the Meng family couldn't say anything more, but Xu Xiaofu felt that Cao Zhan might actually marry Qingxue back home.

After returning to Xie's house, Xu Xiaofu sent someone to the government to solve the matter of the thin and weak woman, and also sent someone to the restaurant to talk to the shopkeeper, if there is a little woman holding a child to find a job Just take her down.

The days that followed became hotter and hotter, and Xu Xiaofu didn't go out much. He only heard that the old lady of the Zheng family and Zheng Shiwen had their legs broken and were recuperating at home, and that Zheng Shiwen had reconciled with the little woman. Working in her restaurant.

Then I heard that Prince Cao sent away all Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard, and finally went to Xie Duanyu's barracks.This happened a few days ago, Xie Qingxue was a little stunned after hearing about it, and then came to Xu Xiaofu's yard.

Xu Xiaofu is feeding Xie Qi's little guy watermelon, the little guy is one year old, well fed, white and chubby, he can call mother, he can call daddy, Xie Duanyu was so excited when he called daddy.

Xie Qi is still too young, Xu Xiaofu won't let him eat cold food, lotus is a girl, women in ancient times have weak bones, so Xu Xiaofu won't let lotus eat more cold food.When Xie Qingxue entered the room, he saw Lotus holding a piece of watermelon and nibbling on it. The little guy Xie Qi was also holding a piece of watermelon and nibbling on it. His body was soaked in watermelon water. When he saw Xie Qingxue, he smiled at Xie Qingxue, and called out "Nu, take Xie Qingxue away." Happy to see the teeth but not the eyes.

Xu Xiaofu has a pretty good relationship with Xie Qingxue now, and he didn't treat Xie Qingxue as an outsider and let her do what she wanted.Xie Qingxue smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe Xie Qi's mouth, hugged it, kissed the little guy on the cheek, and smiled at Xu Xiaofu: "I didn't know how to call you when I came here two days ago, but I will call you today." Man, I'm really happy to hear that."

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile: "I taught him several times in the past two days, but he didn't say a word. I thought he didn't know how to bark. It turned out that he has learned to wait for you to come to please you."

Xie Qingxue kissed the little guy on the face again, "This brat can coax people at such a young age, and he will definitely be a master who can coax girls in the future."

"That's not true." Xu Xiaofu replied with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, Xie Qingxue said: "Sister-in-law, when will my brother come back, I have something to ask him."

Xu Xiaofu knew that Xie Qingxue wanted to ask about Cao Zhan, so he didn't point it out, he just said: "Mo will be back in about half an hour, by the way, you sit here, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some dishes, later You eat here with us."

Xie Qingxue nodded, "Sister-in-law is in trouble."

Xu Xiaofu went to the kitchen to get a steamed grouper, sweet and sour short ribs, stir-fried chicken offal with sauerkraut, garlic water spinach, stir-fried bitter gourd, seaweed and dried shrimp soup. She made some home-cooked dishes. I really like eating these home-cooked dishes.In the end, I cooked a bowl of porridge with minced fish and vegetables for Xie Qi, and also steamed an egg custard.The little guy now has the same meal time as the adults, three meals a day, and one meal of milk when he is going to sleep at night. Xu Xiaofu is planning to wean the little guy recently.

As soon as the packing was done, Xie Duanyu came back, Xu Xiaofu had already washed up, asked Camellia Dujuan to bring up the dishes, and the family of five began to eat.

Xie Qingxue had a good appetite and ate a lot, "Sister-in-law, the food you made is still delicious, but it's a pity that the weather is too hot to go out for fun." After going out to play a few times in spring, Xie Qingxue missed it.

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile: "We can only wait for next year. The most important thing when going out to play is the beautiful scenery and good weather. Only spring is suitable for outings."

Xie Qingxue sighed, "That's not true."

After several people had finished their meal, and asked Camellia Dujuan to remove the things, Xie Qingxue said: "Brother, I want to ask you something."

Xie Duanyu said, "What about Cao Zhan?"

Xie Qingxue nodded sullenly and stopped talking.Xie Duanyu took a look at Xie Qingxue and said, "He came to the barracks a few days ago and reported every day, and then I set him an exercise task every day, running around the barracks with weight for [-] laps, riding a horse for an hour in the morning , One and a half hours in the afternoon, if he is not finished, he will be driven out of the barracks."

Xie Duanyu actually knew about his sister and Cao Zhan. To be honest, his intuition felt that Cao Zhan was okay, but since he made a bet with Qingxue to enter the barracks, he would definitely train him hard and not let him He married his own sister for such a cheap price.

Xie Qingxue was astonished, she knew how many kilometers the entire barracks had to go around, "Then what about him? Has everything been completed?"

Xie Duanyu nodded, "Although it's a bit strenuous, I've completed it in the past few days, but this is only the first month's task, and I will increase my exercise every month in the future."

Xie Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Cao Zhan would definitely not be able to persist for a few days.But while she breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Qingxue felt a little lost in her heart, and she didn't know why.

After asking what she knew, Xie Qingxue went back.Xu Xiaofu hugged Xie Qi to play in the yard, and asked Xie Duanyu, "General, do you think Prince Cao can persevere?"

"It should be about the same. I'm afraid Qingxue will marry him this time."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "If Prince Cao can persevere, it means that he is still good and worthy of Qingxue marrying him."

What is surprising is that Cao Zhan persisted, from the hottest summer to the coldest winter. Xie Qingxue learned that Cao Zhan had really persisted in the military camp for half a year. I haven't looked for her, neither of them have met each other.

Half a year has passed, and Xie's family had a happy new year in the snowy weather.Until the heavy snow stopped and all the snow melted, Cao Zhan didn't even come to propose marriage.Xie Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Cao Zhan had given up, he couldn't help laughing.Sure enough, I knew that someone like Cao Zhan was just a hothead at the beginning, but now that the two haven't seen each other for more than half a year, they naturally faded away.

Xie Qingqing was a little unclear about what he was feeling in his heart, there were joy and disappointment.Just when Xie Qingxue was really relieved, the matchmaker came to the door.

Today, Xu Xiaofu and Meng shi were all holding their children in Bai shi's yard, and Xie Qingxue was also there.Suddenly, a young servant came to report that the matchmaker who proposed marriage for Prince Cao was begging to see him outside the door.The Bai family disliked Cao Zhan very much. Because of Cao Zhan, none of the more outstanding young masters in the capital dared to come to propose marriage to Xie Qingxue, so Xie Qingxue hadn't decided on the marriage at the age of sixteen. And know how much the Bai family hates Cao Zhan.Hearing that it was he who came to propose marriage, he frowned and waved his hands: "No, drive away!"

Mrs. Bai didn't know about Xie Qingxue's bet with Cao Zhan. Xie Qingxue never told her. Xie Qingxue, who was sitting next to Mrs. Bai, was stunned when she heard the servant came to report. Now that Mrs. Bai wanted to drive him away, she hurriedly Said: "Let someone come in."

Mrs. Bai looked at Xie Qingxue, "Qingxue, what's the matter with you? What did the matchmaker come to do? It was because of the relationship with Prince Cao that no one came to propose marriage when you were sixteen. Those who came to propose marriage were all People who are crooked and want to take advantage of our Xie family!"

Xie Qingxue smiled wryly: "Mother, let the matchmaker come in, and you agree to this marriage too."

Bai slapped the table, "Qingxue, you are confused, he caused the current situation, it's not that you don't know what kind of person he is, not to mention the bunch of concubines in the yard, and his family Do you know how complicated the family background is? If you marry him, you have to endure all kinds of difficulties from his stepmother, the girl I gave birth to is not for her to suffer!"
