The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1781

[Chapter 1781 Liu Er Fanwai (64)]

A game of chess, played for an hour.

Oak Xi put down the pieces in his hand, and said regretfully, “I lost.” Fortunately, he only lost three pieces, so it wasn’t a shame.

“Accepted.” In fact, Xu Wenchang was also very surprised. He only heard that Princess Heshu’s piano skills were outstanding, but he didn’t expect Princess Heshu to be so good at chess.

Yuxi smiled and said, “The emperor also likes to play chess. He would be very happy to know that you are so good at chess.”

Hearing this title, Xu Wenchang felt a strange feeling in his heart: “I heard that the emperor is very good at chess, how dare a micro minister dare to show his ugliness in front of the saint.” Xu Wenchang has already been appointed an official, and he reads from the Hanlin Academy of the fifth grade. This starting point is very high. It is also because of this that Liu Er will be moved.

“Your chess skills are also very high. If you play against the emperor, your odds of winning are between five and five.” Xu Wenchang’s talent is amazing, not inferior to Qi Hao at the beginning. But this is a gift from God, and ordinary people cannot envy it.

Before Xu Wenchang could speak, Yuxi suddenly asked, “Have you ever had a woman you like?”

The topic changed too quickly, and Xu Wenchang, who was quick to respond, couldn’t help but be stunned. When he came back to his senses, Xu Wenchang shook his head and said, “No. I have been running around for my studies all these years, so I just have time to think about other things.”

“Really not?” After saying that, Yuxi looked at Xu Wenchang fixedly.

This look put a lot of pressure on Xu Wenchang. However, he still shook his head and said, “No.”

Yuxi’s topic changed again: “The eminent monk gave you an order, saying that it is not appropriate for you to say that you are in love before you are twenty-one years old, otherwise it will hinder your lifespan. Is this true?”

Xu Wenchang nodded and said, “It’s true.”

Yu Xi chuckled and said, “If I’m not mistaken, the so-called eminent monk should be found by you. The purpose of this should be to prevent your mother from randomly accepting your marriage.”

On a hot day, Xu Wenchang was in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Xu Wenchang didn’t speak, Yuxi smiled and said, “Am I guessing wrong?”

In front of such a powerful person, Xu Wenchang did not dare to lie: “The princess guessed right. That monk was indeed found by me. However, I did this not to guard against my mother, but I didn’t want to make a decision before the meeting. Dearest.”

Oak-hee believed that she didn’t want to decide on a marriage before the test, but it was definitely right to be on guard against his mother. Yuxi smiled and said, “It’s too difficult for you.” Before that, she really thought that Mrs. Xu was a powerful woman. The result was completely different from what was expected.

Hearing this, Xu Wenchang shook his head and said, “Princess, I feel very lucky. Although my family is poor, I met my husband and my mentor. With their help, I am what I am today.” Sir, the private school gentleman who enlightened him.

Although he has suffered so much that ordinary people cannot understand, Xu Wenchang feels that it is all worth it.

“It’s good for you to think like this, and I hope you can keep it up.” With a grateful heart, it is not easy to be influenced by other people and will not be assimilated by the environment. So Oak-hee hopes that this is Xu Wenchang’s sincere words.

After finishing speaking, Yuxi smiled and said, “Come on, take Xu Zhuangyuan down for dinner.” It would be rude to leave without letting anyone eat after dinner.

Xu Wenchang left the garden with Youlian with a stomach full of doubts.

When Yu Xi saw Feng Zhixi and Liu Er, he said, “We’ll talk about it after we have eaten.”

Feng Zhixi is almost dying of anxiety, why is it so frustrating to be able to make a sentence. However, he only dared to slander a few words in his heart, and he never dared to complain in person.

After eating, Feng Zhixi couldn’t hold back: “Mother, what do you think of this Xu Wenchang?”

Oak Xi nodded and said, “Appearance, talent, conversation, behavior, and character are all first-class.”

Feng Zhi was happy, and he said that Yuxi would definitely like it when he met Mozhu, which was not what he expected.

Liu’er asked: “Mother, so you can give Jiaojiao to him?” Yuxi said that he was very good, and this marriage must be right.

Yuxi shook her head and said, “Xu Wenchang is very good, but not suitable for Jiaojiao.”

The gap between the front and the back is too big, and Feng Zhixi can’t react: “Mother, you said that Mozhu is first-class in all aspects, why is it not suitable for Jiaojiao?”

Yuxi gave a very simple example: “Jiaojiao is a flower bone that can’t stand a little bit of wind and rain in a conservatory, but Xu Wenchang is like a century-old pine that has experienced wind and frost. Do you think such two people match?”

Feng Zhixi couldn’t understand Yuxi’s words, and couldn’t help but ask, “What is a century-old pine that has survived the wind and frost? Mother, what does this mean?”

Yuxi briefly explained the conversation between her and Xu Wenchang just now: “If I guessed correctly, I am afraid that Xu Wenchang started to be in charge when he was very young.” Xu Wenchang is not humble or arrogant when facing her. Self-confidence, but the ability to observe the world and people’s emotions is to be honed in life.

Liu’er’s focus is on Mrs. Xu: “Mother, what do you mean, Mrs. Xu is not as powerful as I thought?”

Yu Xi glanced at Liu Er and said, “Xu Wenchang and Jiaojiao are not suitable. What kind of old Mrs. Xu is, do you still need to pay attention?”

Liu Er smiled and said, “Mother Xu Wenchang said it so well, I can’t bear to refuse.”

Feng Zhixi was also reluctant to part with it: “Empress mother, Xu Wenchang knows that the world is cool and human beings are cold and warm, and Jiaojiao is pure and white as paper. I think the two are a perfect match!”

“Jiaojiao should marry a husband who takes care of her like a baby, so that she can live happily. And Xu Wenchang, what he needs is a smart and capable wife who can help her manage the housework and maintain the relationship between home and abroad.” Jiaojiao She has been pampered since she was a child, and her food and clothing expenses are all exquisite, and she has never suffered the slightest grievance since she was a child. Don’t say what will happen to Xu Wenchang and her in the future, just say that she and Mrs. Xu will not get along.

When Liu Er heard this, she gave up.

Feng Zhixi was still reluctant: “Queen Mother, Jiaojiao is also a good housekeeper. And she is very good at coaxing people. I think she can get along well with Mrs. Xu.”

Oak-hee didn’t answer, but asked, “Who do you think is the hardest to get along with?”

Liu Er said, “It’s the hardest thing to get along with people who are unreasonable.” People like Feng Lianwu can’t get along.

Feng Zhixi felt that it was the hardest thing to get along with people who couldn’t communicate.

Yuxi said, “To give a very simple example, Jiaojiao costs dozens of taels of silver for any dress. This is too extravagant for Mrs. Xu, who has to spend every penny, and it is definitely unacceptable. If you want Jiaojiao to wear coarse clothes like her, how do you think Jiaojiao will be? With Jiaojiao’s temperament, she is definitely unwilling to compromise, two people whose ideas are so different, how can they get along well.”

In fact, Liu Er also thought about this. It’s just that Xu Wenchang is so good that she suppresses these concerns.

Feng Zhixi said, “Empress mother, we will give Jiaojiao a large dowry in the future. Jiaojiaohua uses her dowry, and old lady Xu has no right to interfere.”

“For many people, the married daughter-in-law belongs to their family, not to mention the dowry.” This idea is not an isolated phenomenon, but a common one.

Feng Zhixi’s face changed slightly.

“Xu Wendong was a scholar in the exam, and he has an eldest brother who is talented and famous, and his future is definitely not bad. With Xu Wendong’s conditions at the time, it was not difficult for him to marry a girl with a good reading and literacy family. But Mrs. Xu Let the second son marry his niece. From this, it can be seen that Mrs. Xu is a very short-sighted woman.” Therefore, it is not impossible to regard the daughter-in-law’s dowry as one’s own.

Feng Zhixi is still stubbornly resisting: “Perhaps, that girl has something special about her!”

Yuxi smiled and said, “As my aunt and nephew are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the relationship should be very harmonious. But this girl and Mrs. Xu don’t get along well.”

Feng Zhixi was a little dumbfounded: “Mother, how did you know about this?”

“When I mentioned this person, Xu Wenchang’s eyes flashed with disgust and there was a bit of coldness in his words. If this woman was not too unbearable, Xu Wenchang would not show such an expression.” Come to think of it, a lot has happened in between. matter.

Having said this, Feng Zhixi also dismissed the idea of marrying. Although he likes Xu Wenchang very much and wants him to be his son-in-law, these are not as important as Jiaojiao’s happiness.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhixi said: “Mother, Du Shao’s youngest son, Zhao Zhang, is very good in every way. Moreover, he has always liked Jiaojiao. If Jiaojiao was to marry him, he would definitely hold Jiaojiao in his palm. inside.”

“Always?”

Feng Zhixi nodded and said, “Du Shao said that Zhaozhang fell in love with Jiaojiao when he met Jiaojiao at the age of ten. After he was admitted to the Qianwei Camp, he begged the lady of the Guogong’s mansion to ask for a kiss, but Liuer refused. Later, he begged Du Shao to tell me.” It was because Du Zhaozhang was full of sincerity that he mentioned it to Liu Er again and again.

Yuxi nodded and said, “The Du family and the Feng family are also well-matched, and he is so infatuated with Jiaojiao, only his character can be good at this family.”

Liu Er hesitated: “Mother, it’s not like you don’t know what kind of temperament Luo Shi is, how can Jiaojiao get along with her?”

“Not only are you afraid that Jiaojiao won’t get along with her, you don’t want to be in-law with such a person, do you?”

Seeing this, Liu Er hurriedly said: “Mother, Jiaojiao doesn’t want it either. If you do marry into the Du family, you have to be careful when you talk and do things. Otherwise, a bad person in the whole capital will know.”

Feng Zhixi said: “Mother, Luo Shi is not very good, but the father-in-law and Du Shao are both reasonable people. Du Shao also said that if Jiaojiao married into the Du family, he promised not to let Jiaojiao suffer a little. Wronged.”

Liu’er said, “If Luo Shi wants to embarrass Jiaojiao, what will you do then?”

“Xu Wenchang can’t do it, nor can it be famous. If you choose like that, Jiaojiao really has to stay as an old girl.” Xu Wenchang didn’t know the foundation, and Yuxi denied that he had nothing to say. But Du Zhaozhang knew the bottom line, just because Roche, who was out of tune, backed away, he couldn’t justify it.

The couple broke down again.
