112, Jinjiang Literature City starting
After lunch, the palace servants serve dessert after meals.
A pot of refreshing and sweet plum soup, a plate of iced fresh durian meat, a plate of golden and crispy durian crisp, a plate of cute durian glutinous rice balls, and some cherries, dates, plums, peeled honey pomelo, and put them in a crystal plate. It was crystal clear and fruity.
After trying to stew the chicken with durian, Xu Wenchan and others were not so resistant to durian, and they tasted a few dishes of durian food in turn.
"Sister-in-law, this durian glutinous rice cake is delicious. The surface is cold and cold. It tastes soft and glutinous when eaten. It has a faint milky aroma. The durian filling inside is fragrant and smooth, which is very good!" The sixth princess held it and ate it several times, with some white powdered sugar on the corner of her mouth.
"If you like, I'll take some back to eat later. I've made a lot of it anyway." Taoti picked up a piece of iced durian meat. She liked to eat fresh pulp. The iced durian is like cheese and ice cream, which is more delicate and sweet, cool and refreshing.
After using snacks, a few people went back to the house to play, and the afternoon was quiet and leisurely.
When the sun was declining, Xu Wenchan and Tao Ti imagined that the weather would be cold in two months and that they could go to Mount Li to run hot springs. When they saw Linglong slowly walk in and saluted, "Crown Princess, Mrs. Dingbei Marquis sent someone to call Miss Xu back home."
Tao Ti looked out the window and it was indeed getting late. "Achan, please go back first, don't let your mother wait for a long time."
In the past, Xu Wenchan would have been reluctant to leave, but today she was thinking about the result of her mother chatting with the eldest princess, so she stood up and said frankly, "Then I'll leave first, I'll come to play with you next time."
Tao Ti got up and gave her a gift, and also put a large plate of durian pastry and durian glutinous rice balls so that she could take them back for food.
Shortly after Xu Wenchan left, the fifth prince and the sixth princess also said goodbye and left.
Tao Ti lazily lying back to the beauty couch, eating durian, looking at the script, and enjoying the time alone.
A gorgeous jewel-topped green curtained carriage drove smoothly out of the majestic palace walls.
The nine-hole gold-chised copper incense burner on the car was burning the best incense, but Xu Wenyan thought the smell was a bit strong, so he opened the car window to get some breath.
Looking at the serious and quiet face of Mrs. Dingbei Hou, she hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Mother, why are you so scary about this expression? Are you unhappy in chatting with the eldest princess?"
Mrs. Dingbei Hou sat upright, holding a veil in her hand, and said lightly, "Your Seventh Brother and the Prince Qinghe County of the United States are not suitable."
Xu Wenchan was stunned and said in surprise, "Why is it not suitable! Qinghe is so gentle, Qi Ge likes her so much, and County Lord Qinghe also intentionalizes Qi Ge..."
The wife of Dingbei Hou was filled with sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes, and she did not respond.
She actually likes the Lord of Qinghe County. The little girl is noble, gentle and gentle. The most rare thing is that her son with a elm-headed body is rare and she likes her very much.
Today she went to find the eldest princess, and she wanted to match the two children.
I never thought that when the Prince of Qinghe County came to Guishui today, the eldest princess obviously didn't want to hide it from her, so she asked the imperial doctor to tell Qinghe's physical condition in person.
After the imperial doctor left, the eldest princess said straight to the point that she did not want Qinghe to have children.
Alas, the county lord is good in everything, but why is he so sick and weak? It's really a sin.
Mrs. Dingbei Hou sighed quietly and closed her eyes tiredly.
The mother and daughter were silent all the way back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Dingbei Hou Mansion, Qingfengyuan.
Chang Suihuo ran to the study in a hurry, "Qilangjun, the mistress and the eldest girl have returned from the palace."
Xu Guangji sat in front of Huanglimu desk for almost a day. Although he was holding the book in his hand, his heart was in a mess and he didn't even read it.
Now that he heard Changsui’s report, he immediately put down the book, stood up, "Are you back?"
The long-running person was panting, "Yes, as soon as the carriage arrived at the door, the slave came to report to you."
Xu Guangji praised him, walked out of the study room, and walked straight to Mrs. Hou's yard.
On the other end, Mrs. Dingbei Hou sat obliquely on a yellow flower lily patterned ring chair, holding a cup of Biluochun in her hand, and a little maid with her shoulders pinched behind her, and a kneeling in front of her with her eyes down and a hammered legs down.
Xu Wenchan sat on one side and lowered her head with great confusion.
Seeing my mother like this, she wouldn’t agree to be with Qi Ge and Qinghe? How sad is Qi Ge knowing!
She used to read the script and felt that the elders who broke up the male and female protagonists were really hateful. She never thought that one day, her mother would become such a hateful person.
Fortunately, before leaving the door, she swears to reassure Brother Qi that she will definitely bring good news back. But now...ah, how should she tell Brother Qi later!
Xu Wenchan was worried, but at this moment, the little maids were greeted by the tributes from outside the door, calling out Qilangjun.
Xu Wenchan was stunned for a moment, first glanced at her mother, and then looked at the door.
I saw the stone blue curtain lifting up, and Xu Guangji, wearing an emerald brocade robe, walked in in three steps, "Mother, A Chan."
Seeing his unstable appearance, Mrs. Dingbei frowned and sat upright, "What's so anxious? Look, you're sweating all over your forehead, sit down and rest."
The maids knew it and handed the veil and poured tea.
Xu Guangji wiped his sweat with a veil and didn't drink tea. He looked at his mother with dark eyes, and then looked at his sister who was drooping his head and did not dare to look at his eyes. He vaguely predicted it in his heart, and his eyes suddenly sank.
He couldn't say anything about Wanwan, and wanted to know the result in his heart, so he asked directly, "Mother, how did you talk to the eldest princess today? Are she willing to marry the county lord to me?"
Mrs. Dingbei's wife's eyes flashed slightly, and she held back the maids in the house with a stern face.
The house quickly became quiet. It was almost dusk, and there was no light in the house, and the light was very dim.
Mrs. Dingbei Hou knew that everyone who should come would come, so she took a deep breath and looked at Xu Guangji calmly, "I don't agree with this marriage."
Xu Guangji was stunned and quickly understood the meaning of this sentence. The eldest princess should not have opposed marrying Qinghe to her, the problem lies with her mother.
"Mother, why is this? Qinghe is very good in terms of family background and temperament, and her son is happy with her..."
"Marriage is not that simple!" Mrs. Hou interrupted him, pinched her fingers, and stared at her handsome son with a focused look, feeling complicated.
She felt that God was really joking with her. Finally, there was something going on with her son and daughter's marriage, but—
She fell in love with the eldest princess's son, but not the eldest princess' daughter.
The eldest princess fell in love with her son, but she didn't like her daughter.
This is really hard to achieve both worlds.
Xu Guangji is a stubborn person. He finally had a happy person, so how could he give up like this?
He frowned and asked Mrs. Hou, "Mother, why is this?"
Mrs. Hou couldn't stand his hardship, and she felt a little hard to speak. She was cruel and said in a low voice, "The eldest princess said that the county lord Qinghe was weak and could not have children. Moreover, she did not allow her son-in-law to have other concubines, nor did she want to make some concubines to worry the county lord. She just wanted to find a man who was wholehearted and loyal to the county lord..."
When the eldest princess said this, Mrs. Hou only felt that the eldest princess was too domineering and powerful!
It’s okay if your daughter cannot be born, why don’t you let a man take a concubine? Isn’t this forcing someone to lose his son and his descendants?
Mrs. Hou is a mother, how could she bear to let her son never leave her forever? She didn't even have a child holding a pot and throwing tiles before she died.
Seeing Xu Guangji remained silent, Mrs. Hou let out a light voice and advised with great sincerity, "There is no grass everywhere in the world, don't worry, my mother will continue to look at you, and she will definitely find a good wife for you..."
Xu Guangji put his hand on his knees into a fist, raised his head, and said firmly, "Mother, my son doesn't marry anyone else, he just wants to marry the county lord."
Mrs. Hou choked.
After a while, he took a breath and stared at him, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Xu Guangji just repeated loudly, "My son wants to marry the county lord."
Mrs. Hou was in pain in her mind, "The eldest princess said that in order to prevent the county lord's husband from changing his mind after marriage, she would give a bowl of Juesi soup to the man. After drinking this bowl of soup, the man would lose his fertility. Even so, do you want to marry the county lord?"
Xu Guangji nodded and said, "Marry."
Mrs. Hou was so angry that her hands shook. She picked up the teacup on the table and wanted to smash it, but she was reluctant to hurt her son, so she only hit the ground in front of Xu Guangji.
With a "slam" sound, the cups split into pieces.
Mrs. Hou pinched the armrest of the chair tightly, her voice trembling, "The eldest princess's requirements are so harsh, you still want to marry the county lord. Are you crazy? Our family is not a dilapidated house. Except for the county lord Qinghe, which young lady in Chang'an City can't marry? Why are you so stingy? It's so angry that I'm so angry!"
Seeing that Mrs. Hou was so angry that she was about to pass by, Xu Wenchan hurried over to calm her down. When she recovered, she whispered, "Mother, actually... Actually... Brother Qi and I have known the county lord's physical condition for a long time."
Mrs. Hou's expression froze.
Xu Wenchan was a little unconfident, but she still wanted to speak for Brother Qi, "Brother Qi really likes Prince Qinghe."
Xu Guangji stood up, strode to Mrs. Hou, and knelt straight down, "Mother, my son knows you are considering me. But, for a lifetime, my son doesn't want to face a wife who has no feelings day and night... If you want to marry, I want to marry someone you like. You have a deep relationship with your father, and the six brothers and sisters-in-law are also harmonious. Our family has no habit of taking concubines... I have never thought of taking concubines.
As for the offspring, you and your father have seven sons and one daughter. Leave me, the children of six brothers, and the children of Achan in the future are all the bloodlines of our Xu family. There is no such thing as having no son or grandchildren."
His spine was straight, and there was a splashing teacup fragment under his knees, which pierced into the flesh, and he didn't feel any pain.
Xu Wenchan felt very distressed when she saw her seventh brother like this, let alone the wife of Dingbeihou, who was the mother.
She looked at her stubborn son and felt mixed feelings.
The mother and son were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere gradually became anxious.
Seeing this, Xu Wenchan gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Mrs. Hou, "Mother, just let Brother Qi be with Qinghe. At worst, they will adopt one child in the future? See if the six brothers are willing to live a nephew and be the heir to Brother Qi. If they don't want to... Well, then I will give one to Brother Qi as a son in the future!"
This is a bit childish, but this kind of intention is touching.
This couple has always been the most concerned and distressing Mrs. Hou.
Now that she saw them kneeling in front of her, she became a very unforgivable bad guy, and Madam Hou's eyes were a little sour.
After pondering for a long time, her eyebrows were tired, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and sighed quietly, "Forget it, forgot."
Xu Guangji and Xu Wenchan looked up together and looked at her calmly.
Mrs. Hou glared at them angrily, "I have given birth to two debt collectors! I'm afraid of you, why don't you get up quickly!"
Both of them were stunned.
Xu Wenchan reacted with joy, and quickly got up, threw herself into Mrs. Hou's arms, and acted coquettishly, "I knew that my mother felt sorry for us the most, and my mother was the best!"
Xu Guangji did not get up immediately, but kowtowed to Mrs. Hou firmly, "My son is unfilial, so my mother is worried."
Mrs. Hou's eyes heated up, and she suppressed her tears. She turned her head and snorted, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I don't care about you anymore. As long as you don't regret it."
Xu Guangji stood up, and there was a faint blood on his knees.
