Chapter 676
When Yuxi got up, she heard Meilan say that it was snowing outside. When I walked out of the house, I saw heavy snow falling on the ground. Snow also fell on the top of the high-hanging red lanterns, which looked more red against the white snow.
Nanny Gui came over and said, "This year's first snow fell later than in previous years." In previous years, it snowed in early December, but now it's mid-December.
Yuxi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's later, as long as it falls." With such heavy snow, there must be a truce ahead.
The triplets got up too, all happy to see the snow fall. Brother Yu said: "Mom, I want to build a snowman." His eldest sister often shows off how beautiful her snowman is.
Yuxi smiled and said: "In the evening, you can go to the ski pile after class, and then call your eldest sister and second sister to go with them."
Brother You held Yuxi's hand and said, "Mother, it will be dark after class, so can we not take a nap?"
Yuxi smiled lightly and said: "As long as your father agrees, mother will have no problem." As long as you move Yunqing out, it will be useful no matter what.
Brother Yu muttered and said: "Mother said it means she didn't say it." If he dared to tell his father, he didn't even need to ask!
Brother Rui tugged at Brother Yu and said, "Don't waste time, you have to practice." Ever since Yu Xi told Brother Rui the story of the stupid bird flying first, Brother Rui has never stayed in bed. Brother Rui is different from Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan will not disturb them when he wakes up early, but Brother Rui must drag Brother Yu up when he gets up, so Brother Yu never sleeps in again.
Brother Yu looked unhappy, but he followed Brother Rui to practice. As for Brother Xuan, naturally he couldn't be left behind.
A smile appeared on Yu Xi's face. Although Brother Yu's temper is still so bad, but following this trend, Brother Yu will not be much worse in the future.
At noon, news came from the Han residence that Mrs. Qiu was ill. No matter how busy Yuxi was, she immediately put down what she was doing when she got the news and passed on.
When they arrived at the Han Mansion, Yuxi asked the doctor first, and the doctor said that it was just a cold, and there was no major problem.
Mother Li said in a low voice: "Princess, last night the old lady felt that the room was stuffy and people opened the windows. It is probably because of the wind blowing and catching cold."
Lu Xiu said guiltily from the side: "I didn't take good care of my mother." Ye's health is not good, and Lu Xiu is supporting him inside and outside the Han residence.
Yu Xi comforted: "Who would have expected this kind of thing!" If anyone was to blame, it would be the lack of care of the people serving Qiu Shi.
Entering the room, Yuxi saw Qiu's pale face lying on the bed, and hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Mother, are you feeling better?"
Lying on the bed, Qiu said weakly: "It's useless to be old." It's just that the room was stuffy last night, so I opened the windows, but I didn't expect the cold wind to catch the cold.
Yuxi said with a smile: "Mother, how old is she? Mother will live a long life, and she will have a great-grandson in the future!"
Speaking of hugging her great-grandson, Qiu thought of Qiqi's marriage: "Yuxi, I will be fifteen years old in 1977, and the marriage has not yet been settled, so you need to think about it."
Yu Xi said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, Ho City is different from the capital, the girls here are basically only engaged at the age of fifteen or sixteen." Qi Qi has a father and a mother, how can she interfere in this marriage .
Qiu said with a sad face: "How can you not be in a hurry? Her father is no longer in Haocheng, and her mother is like that. The only one who can rely on you is you."
When Lu Xiu heard this, her face became a little ugly. It was as if her aunt didn't care about her niece's marriage at all.
Yuxi didn't want to bother Qiu Shi either, so she said with a smile, "I'll ask my elder brother when I write to see what he means first." year-old engagement,
Then they got married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. In fact, Yuxi thinks that this age is just right to get married, and the marriage is decided too early, in case the other party has an accident or looks crooked, she can't harm her own children.
When mentioning her son, Qiu felt a burst of sadness: "Everyone says raising a child to prevent old age, what is it to prevent old age? It's fine if you don't see each other all year round, and you won't come back during the New Year."
In the current situation, Han Jianming and Han Jianye can't get away, so neither of them can come back for the New Year this year.
Yuxi smiled and comforted Qiu Shi for a long time, and didn't go out until Qiu Shi finished drinking the medicine and fell asleep.
After leaving the house, Yuxi said to Lu Xiu: "Don't mind what your mother says. When this person gets old, he hopes that everyone in his family can be happy."
Lu Xiu smiled and said: "How could it be? Ping Rì Niang also loves me very much, but knowing that Uncle and Husband can't come back for the New Year, I feel a little depressed."
Yuxi said: "It's inevitable. You let Brother Chang and Brother Shun talk to her more on weekdays."
Lu Xiu nodded.
Yuxi was about to go back when she heard the servant girl say outside: "Princess Wangfei, Second Madam, please see me." The eldest girl, of course, refers to Qiqi.
Yu Xi smiled and said: "Let her in!" The name Qi Qi was also given by Yu Xi!
Qi Qi was wearing a bright blue flower-stitched jacket, a light yellow pleated skirt, and a pair of extremely complicated white jade belts tied around her waist, but she walked quietly. In front of Yuxi, Tingting bowed down: "Auntie is well."
Yuxi helped Qiqi up, and said with a smile: "Our Qiqi is really getting more and more outstanding."
Qiqi's face turned slightly red.
Yuxi asked: "How is your mother now? Has she been better recently?" Ye Shi has been sick for many years, Yuxi is so busy, and even when she comes to Han Mansion, she is in a hurry, so coming here may not be Go see Mrs. Yeh.
Qiqi nodded lightly: "Mother's health has improved a lot recently. The doctor said that if she can maintain this state, her stepmother's body will recover after the spring." Ye believes that Lu Xiu is not dedicated, and is afraid that her daughter's marriage will be delayed , so I want to get better soon so that I can choose a satisfactory marriage for my daughter. In this state of mind, Ye's body is indeed much more complex than before.
Yu Xi smiled and said, "That's good."
After Qiqi retreated, Yuxi asked Lu Xiu with some puzzlement: "Hasn't a lady asked about Qiqi in such a long time?" Normally, it is impossible for no one to ask.
Lu Xiu smiled wryly and said: "Yes, there are quite a few, but most of the people who ask about Qi Qi are the wives of the general's family. The sister-in-law is unwilling, saying that joining the army is too dangerous, and she wants to find Qi Qi a safe and reliable The so-called safe and down-to-earth means that she also wants to find a son of a scholar for her daughter.
After hearing this, Yuxi didn't feel that there was anything wrong. As a mother, Ye's thinking is not wrong. People who practice martial arts have a high risk factor, and if they are not careful, their lives may be in danger. If something happens, he will be a widow. Yuxi asked: "Didn't the wives of civil servants ask about it?"
Lu Xiu said: "Yes, but I'm not very satisfied with the candidate for the sister-in-law." Those civil servants who are interested, either the man has not yet achieved fame or the family foundation is weak. Each has its own shortcomings, and they do not fully meet Ye's requirements.
If this is the case, it's fine, but Mrs. Ye can't find a suitable candidate, she blames Lu Xiu for not being dedicated, and she still makes irresponsible remarks in front of Mrs. Qiu, which makes Lu Xiuyou very angry.
But although Lu Xiu didn't complain, Yuxi also knew that Lu Xiu was difficult. After hearing this, Yu Xi said: "I will write to my eldest brother about this matter, and let my eldest brother decide." Although she can understand Ye's motherly heart, there is no perfect candidate in this world. If this continues to pick and choose, it will not be good for Qiqi to spread the reputation of being picky.
Lu Xiu's expression was relieved, she didn't know how much anger she had suffered because of Qi Qi's marriage. But if you get angry, you can only bear it, who made the sister-in-law half-dead. She could pretend to be dizzy if she said something harsh, and she would be the one who suffered in the end. Now that Yuxi is willing to come forward, she is also happy and relaxed.
Seeing this, Yuxi said, "Second sister-in-law has worked hard these years." Lu Xiu was able to take care of the ailments of the elders and children in a family, so that the eldest brother and the second brother had no worries. not easy.
Lu Xiu shook her head and said, "It's hard work just to handle the internal affairs." Compared with Yuxi, the little things she took care of were really nothing.
That night, when Yunqing came back after taking a bath, he saw Yuxi frowning with a preoccupied look. Yun Qing asked, "What are you thinking? Your brows are almost knotted."
Yuxi said: "Zaozao will be twelve years old after the Chinese New Year, but all she wants is to follow you to fight. Tell me, what kind of family should she find for her after she is like this?"
Yun Qing laughed when he heard this: "You don't have to worry about Zao Zao's marriage, she will marry whoever she likes in the future." As for Zao Zao, the overlord's temper, no matter who she marries, she can't handle it deficit.
Yuxi said angrily: "She will marry whoever she likes? What if she doesn't want to marry?" This marriage is a matter of mutual consent, how can it be unilateral!
Yun Qing disdainfully said: "Don't want to marry? It also depends on whether he has the courage? Can he escape the palm of Zao Zao?"
Yuxi was stuck in her throat and couldn't spit it out. After a while, she said, "I'm too lazy to tell you, sleep." After speaking, she turned over and faced inside.
Yun Qing laughed and said: "Don't worry about Zao Zao, no matter who Zao Zao marries in the future, she can live her life well. But Liu'er's marriage, we have to take good care of it." With a wide heart, a person with a wide heart will have a smooth life. But Liu'er is different, if they marry poorly, they will worry about it.
Yuxi said: "I will pay attention to this matter." Liu'er doesn't worry about no one coming to propose marriage, all she has to do is to check carefully and choose a good husband for Liu'er.
Thinking of Liu'er's recent transformation, Yun Qing said with a smile: "Liu'er gave me a pair of socks that she made by herself a few days ago." In the past, Liu'er devoted herself to the rhythm of everything, but now she makes socks for him. When receiving the socks, Yunqing was very happy.
Yu Xi sighed and said: "At that time, I was too anxious. If I took my time, maybe Liu'er would be better than now." Now that her daughter is sensible, logically speaking, she should be happy. But when she saw that her daughter was no longer as innocent as before, Yuxi felt uncomfortable.
Yun Qing knew what Yuxi was thinking, shook his head and said: "Liu'er is different from Brother You. It's useless for Brother You to beat and scold, you can only use a gentle strategy. And Liu'er is the one we pampered and raised, so we treat her with a gentle way." Strategy is useless, you must use a heavy hammer. Besides, I think she is better now than before. We can pamper her and follow her, but it is impossible for her husband and in-laws to pamper her after she gets married. Her. And if she doesn't know everything, how will she survive in the future?" Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, whether it is parents or brothers and sisters, you can only rely on it for a while, not forever. Only if you have the ability, can you live a comfortable life.
Yu Xi buried her head in Yun Qing's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Only when I become a mother do I know that being a mother is not easy."
Regarding this, Yun Qing was also very emotional: "Yes! The older the child, the more things to worry about." At the beginning, he thought that the more children the better. Only now do I know how naive I was thinking at the time! There are six children in the family, Zaozao and Brother Hao didn't let them worry about it, but Liu'er and four triplets alone exhausted him enough, wouldn't it be fatal if there were more.
Yuxi hummed and said: "Now worry about them not learning well, they will not be able to become talents in the future, and worry about their life-long events in a few years, I really have endless worries."
Yun Qing hurriedly said: "When they get married, we can let go of them." If they get married and still care, then we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives.
Yuxi said with a smile: "I think so now, but can I really feel relieved or say nothing?"
Yun Qing felt that it was too tiring to think so far: "Why did you think of Zao Zao's marriage so well today? Did your mother tell you something?" Before, Yun Qing respected Qiu Shi very much, but since Ye Shi made a fuss, After that incident, Yunqing felt that Qiu's behavior was a little muddled.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Zaozao has us, why would mother intervene? Today, mother just mentioned Qiqi to me, saying that Qiqi is four years old, so she should be called relatives."
Although Yun Qing felt that Qiu's behavior was muddled, but he thought it might be because of his age, but he was very displeased with Ye: "This child's parents are all here, what do you do for marriage? You are a matchmaker Things are the most troublesome. If you do well, you think it should be done. If you don’t do well, you will blame you for the rest of your life. You are so busy, why bother to go to this muddy water.” If the child’s parents are not around, it is right for an aunt to choose a husband’s house for her niece of. But both parents are alive, so there is no need to meddle in this business.
Yuxi knew that Yunqing didn't like Mrs. Ye, but she didn't like Mrs. Ye either: "Since Mother mentioned it, I must tell my elder brother."
For this answer, Yun Qing was quite satisfied: "By the way, how is that child?"
Yuxi knew that Yunqing was referring to the boy born to Ye Shi: "That child is a little weaker than his peers, but he can be kept." The child was not in good health at the time and often fell ill, so Yuxi thought he couldn't keep it. Now that she is in good health, Yuxi doesn't even know if this is a good thing.
Yun Qing asked: "What is the big brother's plan for this child?" Although this matter has nothing to do with Yu Xi directly, if this matter breaks out, Yu Xi will definitely be implicated.
Yuxi said: "Brother said that he will keep this child safe for the rest of his life." If he lacks a son, he may recognize him, but now besides Brother Chang and Brother Hua, Han Jianming's concubine in Shanxi gave birth to another son . Since there is no shortage of sons, this child will naturally not be recognized.
Yun Qing nodded and said, "That's fine." (To be continued)
