Chapter 30

As soon as Zhang Yu said this, the originally lively banquet fell silent for a moment.Except for Shen Mai who knew the inside story, Yue Pei, Fu Shen, and An Zan were all confused, which grandson was given out, and why he, a grandfather, didn't know.Not to mention Yue Ze and Yue Cheng, each was stunned for a while, not understanding why the uncle asked the uncle for a daughter-in-law.

Shen Chen and Yue Chi looked at each other when they heard the words, and then looked at their younger brother Zhang Xi at the same time.Zhang Xi sat awkwardly, with shyness, panic, and joy in his expression.Seeing his little face flushed with excitement, Shen Chen and Yue Chi turned their heads away from him at the same time, "Ah Xi, can you have something to do, I can't bear to watch."

"Daughter-in-law?" Fourth Master Xie's expression was as usual, and his tone was indifferent, "Wuji three sons, which one is married or engaged?"Why didn't I know Wuji that you already have a daughter-in-law? May I ask whose daughter it is.

Zhang Yu was stunned, "My three sons are neither married nor engaged." As soon as he said this, Yue Pei, Fu Shen, and An Zan all sweated, neither married nor engaged, Wuji Just face to face with fourth master Xie to ask for a daughter-in-law?Here's where to start.Only Shen Mai is still smiling at Mimi, and of course she is not married and undecided at the moment, so what's the matter.Not right now, but definitely in the future.

Fourth Master Xie smiled lightly, playing with the silver wine glass in his hand, with a relaxed attitude.He was originally handsome and handsome, with a creamy face and lacquered eyes, coupled with this calm demeanor and gentle conversation, he looked even more handsome and distinguished.Yue Pei and An Zan saw it and secretly agreed.

Zhang Yu scratched his head, "Wan Hong, don't pretend to be confused with me, I'm talking about the little one." In my heart, the little one is my daughter-in-law.Fourth Master Xie smiled calmly, "The little girl is very naughty now, I won't take her out at all." Besides, Xiao Qi is now three years old, a big girl, and it's inconvenient to show her face in public.

It turned out that Wuji fell in love with Xie Siye's youngest daughter and wanted to beg her to be his daughter-in-law.Yue Pei, An Zan, and Fu Shen all understood at this moment. Yue Pei laughed, raised his glass, and changed the topic calmly. Everyone talked about "Which year's pear blossom tastes good".

After the banquet was over, Zhang Yu sent fourth master Xie out, and was still discussing with him on the way, "Wan Hong, your little one is naughty, so it's just right to be my daughter-in-law. My wife and I have always spoiled children, and we are reluctant to restrain them..." Shen Chen and Yue Chi who were at the side couldn't bear to hear it, and sneaked away.

Zhang Xie was still talking, but Zhang Xie was unwilling, and pulled his father's hand, "Daddy, you can't be naughty if you are young." She is very cute and sensible, although sometimes she drools.

This kid can talk better than his father.Fourth Master Xie glanced at Zhang Yi lightly, and Zhang Yi held out a letter with both hands with a blushing face, "Please pass it on to Uncle Shi." What kind of handing over, I want to read it for her and reply to the letter for her, but she still put on a small face and got angry with me !Fourth Master Xie took the letter, bid farewell to Zhang Yu, got into the carriage, and drove away.

"How about, let's go to Xie's house to propose marriage." Back in the main room, Zhang Yu discussed with Xie Yu.Since my son likes it, it's better to make a decision early, so I can feel at ease early.The Xie family's little one is very cute, what if someone else snatches her first.

"It's too early." Xie Yu shook his head, "When the two children grow up, if Ah Xie likes the little one, and the little one likes him too, naturally they will ask for a kiss." The matter of a lifetime is when they are all grown up. Decide.

"That's right." Zhang Yu scratched his head.Xie Yu is right, the children are still too young.Xie Yu pulled him to sit down on the rose chair, and handed him a cup of strong hot tea, "One is that the child is still young, and the other is that even if we propose marriage, the Xie family will not agree."

The Taikang Xie family is the same as most of the aristocratic families, they rarely make baby marriages.In this age, the infant mortality rate is high. If a marriage is established at a young age, and either party dies later, the other party will easily be suspected of being a "wife restrainer" or "disturbing husband", and another match will be greatly affected.Moreover, most of the children from famous families went into official positions, the officialdom was ups and downs, and their future was unpredictable.If it was a beautiful marriage when you were young, and when the child grows up, one party's official career is not going well and is demoted, and you are poor. At this time, will you perform the contract or not?Fulfilling the contract, my children suffer.Failure to comply with the contract will inevitably lead to a reputation of disliking the poor and loving the rich.Why bother.

Who knows what will happen in the future?It is better to wait until the child grows up to choose a match.Although the shortest time from dating to marriage is one or two years, and the longest is three to four years, there may still be variables.But it's much better than being married to a baby since childhood.

"Xie Yu, listen to you." Zhang Yu drank the strong tea in one breath, and returned the cup to his wife, "Family matters are all up to you." Xie Yu is smart, no matter what she says or does, All are right.

Xie Yu took the cup and smiled slightly.Wuji was still worried that the little one would be snatched away, how could it be?Fourth Master Xie is no one, since he allowed Ah Jie to write letters from time to time, and would personally write replies on behalf of his daughter, he would not easily give Xiao Budian to someone else.

Yue Pei, An Zan, and Fu Shen were all overjoyed when they found out the inside story. Look at my good grandson, who knew Mu Shaoai when he was only nine years old!Fu Shen picked up Zhang Yi and laughed loudly, "Silly boy, you still have to wait for more than ten years!" The little girl was only three years old.

An Zan said with a smile: "The old man of the Xie family and the fourth master Xie are both famous calligraphers, Ah Xie, you have to practice calligraphy frequently in the future, do you know that?" If you want to marry a wife, don't be lazy in reading and writing.

Yue Pei pulled Zhang Yi and whispered, "Grandfather has a few good things, some passed down from the ancestors, and some newly brought back from the West by the caravan. They are all ingenious and interesting, and the little girl will love them. Good grandson, grandfather I gave it all to you." You send the little girl away.

Shen Mai is even more desperate.Pulling Zhang Xie, he smiled brightly, "Ah Xie, I have visited Xie's house. The guards are not tight at all. No matter day or night, Grandpa can come and go freely. Or, Grandpa will steal the little one out for you?"

…………

Zhang Yu and his wife quickly returned to Baixie Mansion with their three sons and one daughter.Shen Chen, Yue Chi, Yue Ze, and Yue Cheng rode horses. Zhang Yu and Xie Yu took their youngest son and daughter in a carriage. The carriage behind was full of various gifts.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie are kind and kind elders. They smiled and ordered them to "get up quickly" and pulled the children to praise them one by one. The meeting gift is a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for each person, and the pens are Shanlian Lake pens. , Inkstone is a rare and precious Duan inkstone, all of which are extraordinary products.

Having met the elders, Fourth Master Xie entertained Zhang Yu, Shen Chen, Yue Chi, Yue Ze, and Yue Cheng in the living room; , Miss Si accompanied the guests.

We are not familiar with each other, it is inevitable that we will be a little awkward to meet each other.Fortunately, Xie Yu was approachable, kind and easy-going, and the fourth wife was skillful, chatting and laughing happily, and the atmosphere was warm.Talk about fashionable clothes and jewelry, rouge and gouache, talk about the children under your knees, and the interesting stories of the children when they were young, everyone has something to say.

"My wife is really blessed. The eldest son and the second son have already made military exploits at such a young age." The fourth wife praised sincerely.

That's right, the Mrs. Hou in front of me also has a 14-year-old son, and the third wife is very interested.Although the Marquis of Nanning is a newly-acquired title, it is a bit explosive, but it is also a hereditary and irreplaceable Marquis Mansion, rich and prosperous, needless to say.

"It's really rare to find such a talented person with such a family background as the eldest son of your residence. Presumably, a marriage has already been established? I don't know which lady has this blessing." The third wife smiled in the corners of her eyes, and her face was full of joy.

Xie Yu's heart was slightly sunburned, there were still three girls who had not left the pavilion sitting here, didn't it feel abrupt to ask this? "Gouzi has practiced Shen's Kung Fu since childhood, so he can't get married before the age of 20." Xie Yu said with a smile.Since you can't get married before the age of 20, you don't have to decide what to do early.

The third wife was slightly disappointed. You can't get married before the age of 20, so even if you want to get engaged, the girl must be three or two years younger.How to make the same age, there are very few 20-year-old brides in the world.It's a pity, it's a pity, the age is wrong.

Xie Qinian and Xie Huanian are well-behaved, they heard the third wife mentioning their marriage, they both lowered their heads and accompanied Yaya to turn the flower rope, pretending not to hear.Xie Fengnian sat alone by the side, blushing and at a loss.

Zhang Xi sat on the official hat chair and felt bored, "Why didn't you see the little one?" After feeling bored for a while, he turned his head and looked at his mother pitifully, his little eyes full of grievances.

"There are two young ladies in the house, maybe please come out and meet them?" After all, it was his own mother, Xie Yu did not disappoint him, smilingly proposed to the fourth wife that she wanted to meet Miss Six and Miss Seven.

"The little girl is too young and too naughty." The fourth wife mentioned her beloved daughter with a gentle expression and an intoxicating smile on the corner of her mouth, "You don't even know how to salute, don't laugh at me." With a few words of humility, she ordered "Miss Six, Miss Seven, come here."

Yaya flipped the flower rope deftly, and when she heard "Miss Seven, please come over", she blinked at Zhang Xie.Little brother, the little one is coming.The last time we met, the little one was only over one year old, and now he is almost three years old, so I don't know what he will look like.

Zhang Xi sat up straight and held his breath.

The big red flower curtain was raised, and the wet nurse walked in with a three-year-old girl in her arms.The little girl combed a double bun, her skin was rosy, her eyes were big, her eyelashes were long, and there was a heroic look between her brows.

"Jin'er, come and pay your respects to Madam." The fourth wife looked at Xie Jinnian affectionately, and ordered gently.Xie Jinnian obediently got off the ground, and obediently saluted Xie Yu, saying hello in a childish voice.

"Ling Ai is really cute." Xie Yu pulled Xie Jinnian, and praised with a smile, "It's bright and bright, and the hearts of those who look at it are warm." He gave two strings of pearls as a meeting gift, crystal clear, round and soft.

The big red flower curtain was raised again, and it was still a woman dressed as a nurse holding a little girl about three years old.This little girl is also combing a double bun, her little face is powdery, as smooth as fine porcelain.The big black jade-like eyes are clear and lively, and the expression is a bit mischievous, with a childish and cute face.

Tiny!Zhang Xi slipped off the chair and ran over.Xie Liunian looked at him with wide eyes, Zhang Xi!why did he come here?When he arrived in Taikang, why didn't he hear about it from his father?
Xie Yu looked at the little one in the nurse's arms and the young son standing on the ground, and felt amused in his heart.Will you remember?She was very young when we last saw each other.

"Xiao Qi, come and see Madam." The fourth wife said gently.She felt as strange as the second wife and the third wife. Why did the youngest son of the Nanning Hou Mansion suddenly get off his chair and run to the door?

The wet nurse put down Xie Liunian.Xie Liunian made a grimace at Zhang Yi as a greeting, and then politely saluted everyone in the hall.Although the salute was crooked, but the etiquette was still thoughtful.

Xie Yu gave her a jade pendant as a meeting gift, Xie Liunian accepted the jade pendant and smiled sweetly at Xie Yu.The beautiful aunt in front of her hugged and kissed herself, and even cooked delicious baby meals for herself.

After seeing the ceremony, the adults sat together talking and laughing happily, while the children played on the side.Zhang Xi took Xie Liunian's little hand, walked to the corner, found two small stools, and sat down one by one.
