222, Chapter 222

Qin Fang didn't dare to bring this kind of sentiment to himself: "Outside, I will definitely not drink other people's wine." Qin Fang always keeps his promises, so if he says he won't touch it, he will definitely not touch it. Yang Haiyan believes it of.

However, Yang Haiyan raised her eyebrows: "What? Is it someone else who wants you to drink?"

Qin Fangyi said sternly: "I have to protect my health to give birth to a baby. Whoever drinks me just doesn't want me to have a baby."

"..." These words made Yang Haiyan dumbfounded.

the next day

After Qin Fang got up, Yang Haiyan was still sleeping with his warm son in his arms. He called Tao Shan to investigate Qin Shouye's affair.

Baby Qin Linyang slept with his parents. He slept in a cradle bed by himself in summer and autumn. In winter, the weather was really cold. Yang Haiyan was worried about him sleeping alone, so she brought him to sleep with him. But the little boy slept in the back because Qin Fang didn't like having more than one person between him and Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan is still sleeping, and baby Qin Linyang, who goes to bed early and gets up early, is already awake. At seven or eight months old, he is very active because he eats well and is well-nourished. His little head turned to his mother, and seeing that she was still sleeping, he climbed up on the bed. He did not climb out of the bed, but climbed into the bed, climbed into the bed, and then climbed on top of his mother. , wanting to turn over her body.

Yang Haiyan had woken up a long time ago. Even if she hadn't woken up before, how could she not wake up when her son was tossing her like this? So when the baby crawled on her, she hugged him and pulled him out of the bed: "What are you doing?"

Seeing that his mother had woken up and he was caught again, he was not afraid. He kept saying to Yang Haiyan: "Mother..." The soft voice really made Yang Haiyan cute to the core.

Like all mothers, she looked at her son with full filters. She always felt that her son was the cutest baby in the world. When he screamed, she surrendered. "Do you want to get out of bed and play outside?"

Naturally, the baby cannot understand her words, but sometimes he can understand what she means, which is amazing. When he heard his mother say this, he called out in a sweet voice: "Mother... mother..." and wanted to hold his mother and pull her outside.

"Then you wait, wait for mother to kiss you." Yang Haiyan put the child aside, pulled up his quilt, and then put on his clothes. However, as soon as he was free, he became skinny. He couldn't lie down in bed and wanted to crawl out. Yang Haiyan was idle for quite some time before both of them were sorted out.

After the mother and son finished tidying up, they went to have breakfast.

Yang Haiyan ate wontons and poached eggs, while the baby ate egg custard and rice soup. Several times when Yang Haiyan was eating wontons, the baby's head would push against her wontons. Maybe the smell of the meat made him want to eat them too. When Yang Haiyan picked up the wontons, he would open his mouth in cooperation, and then... he saw the wontons enter his mother's mouth.

He wasn't angry about this, and kept saying "This kid has such a good character." Not like Yang Haiyan, not like Qin Fang, and I don’t know who he looks like.

Tao Shan's investigation speed was much faster than Qin Shouye's. He originally came from the military camp, unlike Qin Shouye. So the next day, in just one day, he thoroughly investigated the Xu family. After the investigation, he went to report back to Qin Fang.

In the study, Tao Shan told Qin Fang all the identities investigated within three generations of the Xu family. The reason why the investigation was so fast was mainly because the identity of the Xu family was really simple. Their family members didn’t know it, but their ancestors within three generations knew it. They were from Yunxiang County, the Xu family, and even Xu's mother's natal family. He had investigated them one by one.

Qin Fang looked at Tao Shan's investigation: "So the Xu family's identity is innocent?"

Tao Shan: "Yes, and the reputation of the Xu family in the village is quite good. Father Xu and mother Xu are hardworking and honest people, and Xu Feng's sister is also a filial girl."

Qin Fang nodded. In fact, Qin Fang was not surprised that this was the result. Because Xu Feng entered the Neng Military Camp, it proves that his family has good moral character. When Qin Fang recruited soldiers, all the selected soldiers had to undergo an investigation. According to Yang Haiyan, it is a political investigation, and only when the background is clear can it be used with confidence.

Seeing that Qin Fang did not answer, Tao Shan asked: "General, will the second master marry Xu Feng's sister next?"

Qin Fang said: "Go and call Shou Ye."

Tao Shan: "Yes."

Qin Shouye didn't go to the military camp in the past two days. He was embarrassed to face Xu Feng before the matter was resolved, so since he told Yang Haiyan about it, he had been waiting for the result in the general's mansion until Tao Shan came. When I called someone, he was still jumping.

When he came to the study room and looked at his stern-faced eldest brother, Qin Shouye turned slightly pale and said, "Brother."

"Sit down." Qin Fang said and motioned for Tao Shan to go out.

Tao Shan retreated to the door.

There were only two brothers, Qin Fang and Qin Shouye, in the study. Qin Fang would not beat around the bush with his brothers, so he said directly: "How do you plan to deal with this matter? There are only two outcomes. You and Xu Feng's sister Xu Lan get married. Or you won’t get married.”

Qin Shouye didn't know it himself, so he asked, "Brother, what do you think I should do?"

Qin Fang said: "Everyone has different ideas. This is your own emotion. Don't let others make decisions about your own emotion, because others will not be responsible for your life." He and his brother have different personalities. . ‌If it were him in the past, and such a situation happened, there was a high possibility that he would marry the other person. But now that he has such a relationship, he will naturally not marry the other person. So his answer cannot be used as a reference.

Qin Shouye said: "I...can I think about it?"

Just as Qin Fang was about to answer, a voice came from outside: "General, Xu Feng wants to see the second master."

Qin Fang raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Shouye: "Go and meet me."

"yes."

Qin Shouye received Xu Feng in his yard. To be honest, he was a little embarrassed to see Xu Feng, but he couldn't avoid it. When he saw Xu Feng, he was about to speak, but Xu Feng knelt down directly to him: "Shou Ye, Second Master Qin, please save my sister."

Qin Shouye was shocked, and Xu Feng immediately helped him up: "Xu Feng, what's going on? What's wrong with your sister?"

Xu Feng said: "Since that incident, people in the village have been spreading rumors about my sister. People who originally thought about my sister suddenly became silent. My sister washes her face with tears all day long. I...I'm worried ‌Something will happen to her if this continues. I...Shou Ye, I know that our family is not worthy of you or the Qin family. We don’t ask you to do anything. We only ask that you temporarily get engaged to your sister for two years. Once this matter is over, just cancel the engagement and no one will mention it again."

"This..." Qin Shouye thought for a while, "I will discuss this with my elder brother."

Xu Feng nodded: "Yes."

Qin Shouye asked Xu Feng to wait for him here, and went to find Qin Fang himself.

After Qin Fang heard Qin Shouye's words, he was silent for a moment: "For the sake of that girl's reputation, let's do what she wants first. Later I will discuss it with grandma, and then send an official matchmaker to propose the marriage."

Qin Shouye: "Thank you, brother. It was me who caused trouble for you."

Qin Fang: "My brothers, there is no need to say this."

After coming out of the study, Qin Fang went to find Yang Haiyan and expressed his sympathy to Yang Haiyan just now.

Qin Fang: "What do you think about your engagement?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Grandpa, grandma, father and mother are all here at this time. It's not my turn to make the decision. You can ask grandma."

Qin Fang was stunned, a little surprised that his wife didn't express her opinion. Seeing this, Yang Haiyan added, "It's just an engagement, not an engagement."

Qin Fang: "Then you go with me."

Yang Haiyan said: "Okay."

With that said, the two went to Liuxinyuan.

Grandma Qin was very happy to see her grandson and grandson's wife coming over, but she didn't see them coming with her great-grandson in their arms. She couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't the little bun come? Is he sleeping?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Grandma, I can't. My husband and I are here to discuss this with you today."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin hurriedly asked: "What kind of love do you and your husband come to discuss together?" It seems that love is not simple.

Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan looked at each other, and then Yang Haiyan said with Qin Shouye's affection: "...So, what the Xu family means is that for the sake of Miss Xu's reputation, the marriage between the two has been settled for the time being. In one or two years, if the two of them feel that they are suitable, they will get married. If not, they will break off the engagement at that time. In this way, everyone will forget about Miss Xu's relationship. However, if the engagement is broken off in the future. If so, it can only be said that it is Shouye's problem, otherwise it will be difficult for the girl to get married. "Qin Shouye is a man, and the world is too kind to men.

After hearing this, Grandma Qin finally understood: "So that's it. If Shouye doesn't like her in the future, what if the girl has to marry Shouye?"

Qin Fang said: "We'll talk about it then. The girl is currently troubled by rumors in the village, so let's get them engaged first."

Grandma Qin said: "Since you have no objections, I naturally have no objections."

Yang Haiyan said: "My grandparents and parents are all here. As long as you don't have any objections, we naturally have no objections. After all, this is a matter of keeping business. Although my husband is the elder brother, he will not care about his younger brother's personal affairs." ‌." This is not an issue that they have no opinions on. Yang Haiyan feels that something needs to be said clearly to avoid blaming them in the future.

Grandma Qin said: "Yes, let's arrange the engagement. If your mother is not here, do you want me, an old woman, to go?"

Yang Haiyan said: "No need, just send a matchmaker. You have an imperial decree. The Xu family is a common people. Where can I get you to come to the door?" This is the difference between officials and ordinary people. "What are the specific requirements for getting engaged?" Please prepare."

Grandma Qin thought: "On that day, Yanyan, you and Ah Fang were appointed by the court to get married, and there was no such thing as an engagement. Later, when you got married, there was no betrothal gift. Logically speaking, Shou Ye is his younger brother, and his marriage cannot go beyond Ah Fang's. Yes, but your situation was different at that time. So I thought about it and decided to arrange for someone from Baili Village to come. "
