Chapter 175: Welcome Hong Ge'er
Chapter 175: Welcome Hong Ge'er
Hibiscus Garden.
"Second brother, what do you think of Xiao Yuner?" Huang Ye asked Hongger.
"It's fine. Why are you asking this?" Hong Ge'er was a little confused. What were the looks of these family members? Why did they look so weird?
"Then do we need to ask mother to find someone to go to the Qiu Mansion to propose marriage?" Huang Ye winked at her second brother.
"You...you...what are you talking about." Hong Ge'er's face turned red and he stuttered. That little girl just now, she looked pretty good and had the sharpness that is unique to northern girls, but she didn't look very old, probably younger than him.
"I think the child is very good and has a destiny with our family. If you are willing, when she comes over tomorrow, let your sister ask her. If she is willing, we will invite a matchmaker to your house at the beginning of next year." The old lady said. According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, one cannot propose marriage during the six, twelve and eighteen months.
"I... I'll listen to my family." Hong Ge'er held it in for a long time before he uttered these words. He ran away with a red face. He had to go to Qingsangju to see his master. It had been almost two years since they last saw him, and he missed his master very much.
No one in the room left, and they were speculating excitedly about the possibility of this marriage. What worried them was that Huang Ye would enter the palace after the New Year, and if she married into the Qiu family, would it arouse the emperor's suspicion?
"I don't think so." Xuan Ge'er had dealt with the emperor several times and knew his character well: "The emperor is a very confident and open-minded monarch. He will not be suspicious of anything because of the in-law relationship of a concubine."
"That's good." The old man was also very satisfied. Mr. Qiu was a good person and his whole family were upright people. He had also met the child's father, who was a capable man. It was not impossible for him to inherit his father's legacy in the future.
It is said that Qiu Yun'er returned to the mansion and took the food basket directly to her grandmother's yard. The whole family had dinner here in the evening, but when she came back, the family had already eaten and were sitting together chatting.
The cousin had sharp eyes. When she saw the food basket in her hand, her eyes lit up: "Big sister, what delicious food did you bring?"
The little girl came over and took the food basket from her hand: "This is the braised food that Sister Ye asked me to bring back. I packed some of each."
"Do you have pig intestines? I like them." The little girl liked this big sister so much that she always brought them delicious food.
"There are a lot." Qiu Yun'er touched her head. The hair on her head was so fluffy and felt so nice to touch.
"You just had a meal. When can't you eat?" Grandpa Qiu scolded his granddaughter seriously. He didn't know who this child took after, but she always thought about food.
Old Madam Qiu rolled her eyes: It’s up to you.
"Mom, I'll help you back to the yard." Qiu Yun'er said goodbye to the people in the house. Yan Jie'er supported her mother, and Dad Qiu followed behind. The four of them walked towards the yard where they lived.
In the past, Yue Niang was afraid that Qiu Dad would feel uncomfortable seeing her appearance, so she didn't let Qiu Dad enter her yard. Now the two of them have reconciled, and Yan Jie'er has also moved into this yard to live, so after the four people came in, Qiu Yun'er and Yan Jie'er returned to their respective rooms. After Qiu Yun'er finished washing up, she did not lie down to sleep. She thought about it, got up, took her coat and put it on, then went to her mother's door and knocked gently.
Yue Niang and Qiu Dad had not yet gone to bed when they heard a knock on the door. The little maid reported that it was the eldest daughter, so they asked the little maid to open the door. It was rare for the child to come so late, so they wondered what she wanted.
Seeing her mother already lying on the bed, Qiu Yun'er also climbed up and cuddled up with her mother: "Mom, I want to tell you something. I seem to... fall in love with someone."
"Who?" Father Qiu, who was holding a book and preparing to read, asked vigilantly, wondering which brat had stolen the heart of his precious daughter.
Yue Niang gave him a strange look. Such a loud noise scared the child.
"Whose child is this? Tell me." She asked her daughter softly.
"That's... Sister Ye's second brother. He just came back from the north today. He's tall, with bright eyes. He's also very good at martial arts, and has a nice voice..." When she mentioned Hong Ge'er, her eyes and brows lit up.
"In short, he is very manly. Mother, didn't you always say that you couldn't find a suitable family for me? This person is suitable, and this family is even more suitable." Qiu Yun'er ended her long speech.
Dad Qiu and Yue Niang exchanged glances. Dad Qiu had a toothache. The saying that girls are extroverts is absolutely true. Look, a stranger has been praised to bits by her.
"Well, Yun'er, maybe he has already been engaged?" Yue Niang reminded her.
"No, Sister Ye was still muttering a few days ago that if his second brother didn't come back, the marriage couldn't be decided. He had to meet someone he was satisfied with before the marriage could be decided. The Huang family's children have to be willing to marry."
"The Huang family is good." Father Qiu remembered that although the Huang family was not of high status, they had a good family tradition and many people wanted to marry into the Huang family. If his daughter married into the Huang family, he would not have to worry about her having a hard time in the future.
"I just don't know what happened to the child?" Father Qiu muttered. He was worried just after hearing his daughter say that she didn't see the child.
"That's not a difficult matter. The child has just come back, so why don't we hold a welcoming party for him? It would also be nice for the children from the two families to visit each other more often." Yue Niang thought that this was not a big deal and believed that her parents-in-law would have the same idea as her.
"Let the child go and find out what the Huang family thinks tomorrow. She is close to the girl from the Huang family. If we invite the second young master to have a meal, I think they will agree."
