Chapter 112:

After lunch, the palace people served desserts.

A pot of refreshing and sweet plum soup, a dish of iced fresh durian meat, a dish of golden and crisp durian crisp, a dish of cute durian glutinous rice cakes with snow balls, and some cherries, jujubes, and plums washed and peeled. The honey pomelo, packed in a crystal plate, is crystal clear and full of fruity aroma.

After trying Durian Chicken Stew, Xu Wenchan and others were not so resistant to durian. They tasted a few durians one by one.

"Sister-in-law, this durian glutinous rice cake is delicious. The skin is cold. It is soft and glutinous in the mouth. It has a light milky fragrance. The durian filling inside is fragrant and creamy, which is very good!" After several mouthfuls, the corners of his mouth were still covered with white powdered sugar.

"If you like it, take some back to eat later. Anyway, I have made a lot of it." Tao Ti picked up a piece of iced durian meat. She likes to eat fresh fruit. The iced durian is like cheese and ice cream. Delicate, sweet, cool, refreshing and delicious.

After using snacks, a few people went back to the house to play, and the afternoon was quiet and leisurely.

When the sun was fading, Xu Wenchan and Tao Ti imagined that the weather would be cold for another two months. They could go to Lishan to run the hot springs, and they saw Linglong slowly walking in, saying, "Prince Princess, Mrs. Dingbeihou Send someone to call Miss Xu back to the house."

Tao Ti looked out the window, it was indeed late, "A Chan, go back first, don't let your mother wait for long."

In the old days, Xu Wenchan would definitely be reluctant to leave, but today she was worried about the result of the chat between her mother and the eldest princess, and she got up and said, "Then I will go first, next time. Come to play with you again."

Tao Ti got up and sent him a large plate of durian crisp and durian glutinous rice cakes so that she could take them back to eat.

Soon after Xu Wenchan left, the fifth prince and the sixth princess also left.

Tao Ti lay lazily back to the beauty couch, eating durian, looking at the script, and enjoying time alone.

A gorgeous Baoding Cuiwei carriage drove smoothly out of the majestic palace wall.

The nine-hole chisel gold-copper censer on the car burned a good incense, but Xu felt that the smell was a bit strong, and opened the car window to let it breathe.

Seeing Madam Dingbeihou's solemn face, she hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Mother, why are you so scary. Don't you have a bad chat with the princess?"

Madam Dingbeihou sat upright, holding the kerchief in her hand, and said lightly, "Your seventh brother and the county lord of Qinghe are not suitable."

Xu Wenchan was startled and surprised, "How inappropriate! Qinghe is so gentle, Brother Qi likes her so much, and the county lord of Qinghe is also interested in Brother Qi..."

Mrs. Dingbeihou's eyebrows were stained with melancholy, and she did not answer.

In fact, she also liked the county lord of Qinghe. The little girl was born noble, gentle and gentle, and the most rare thing was that her elm-headed son was very rare and liked her very much.

Today, she went to see the eldest princess, with the intention of bringing the two children together.

Never wanted to catch up with the county lord of Qinghe to come to Guishui today. The princess obviously didn't want to hide from her, so she asked the imperial doctor to talk about Qinghe's physical condition in person.

After the imperial doctor retired, the eldest princess said straight to the point that she didn't want Qinghe to have children.

Alas, the county owner is good in everything, how can he be such a sickly body, it's a crime.

Madam Dingbeihou sighed faintly, closing her eyes wearily.

The mother and daughter were silent all the way back to the Hou Mansion.

Dingbeihou Mansion, Qingfengyuan.

Changsui hurriedly ran to the study, "Mr. Qilang, the mistress and eldest girl are back from the palace."

Xu Guangji sat in front of the yellow pear wood desk for almost a whole day. Although he was holding the scroll in his hand, his heart was messed up, and he didn't even look at it.

Now that he heard the report from Chang Sui, he immediately put down the book and stood up, "Have you come back?"

The runner panting, "Yes, as soon as the carriage arrived at the door, the minion ran to report to you."

Xu Guangji praised him, stepped out of the study, and walked straight to Madam Hou's yard.

At the other end, Mrs. Dingbeihou was sitting diagonally on the Huanghuali-shaped circle chair, holding a cup of Biluochun in her hand, and behind her stood a shoulder-squeezed little maid, kneeling in front of her with a low eyebrow and pleasing hammer legs.

Xu Wenchan sat on one side and lowered his head in wonder.

Seeing her mother behave like this, did she not agree that Brother Qi and Qinghe were together? That seven brother knows how sad it is!

She used to read the script and felt that the elders who separated the male and female masters were really hateful. She never thought that one day her mother would become such a hateful person.

Fortunately, before leaving the house, she vowed to reassure Seventh Brother that she would definitely come back with good news. But now...Hey, how should she tell Seventh Brother later!

Xu Wenchan was worried here. At this moment, when he was born, there was the sound of salutes from the little maids outside the door, calling Qi Langjun.

Xu Wenchan was stunned, first glanced at his mother, and then at the door.

I saw the stone cyan curtain opened, and Xu Guangji, wearing a jade brocade robe, walked in three steps and two steps, "Mother, A Chan."

Mrs. Dingbeihou, seeing his unstable appearance, frowned and sat up straight, "What the **** is this? You are sweating on your forehead, so sit and rest quickly."

The maidservants know, they are handing veils and pouring tea.

Xu Guangji wiped his sweat with the kerchief. He did not drink tea. His dark eyes looked at his mother whose complexion was difficult to distinguish, and then looked at his sister who was not daring to look at his eyes with his head down. He vaguely expected something in his heart. It's sinking.

He wouldn't say anything about twists and turns, and he wanted to know the result, so he asked directly, "Mother, how did you enter the palace and chat with the princess today? Is she willing to marry the county lord to me?"

Mrs. Dingbeihou's eyes flickered slightly, and the maids in the room were screened back with a stern face.

The room quieted down quickly. At this time, it was almost dusk, there was no palm light in the room, and the light was very dim.

Mrs. Dingbeihou knew that everyone who should come would come, took a deep breath, and fixedly looked at Xu Guangji, "I don't agree with this marriage."

Xu Guangji was taken aback, and immediately understood the meaning of these words. The eldest princess should have no objection to marrying Qinghe to her, the problem lies with her mother.

"Mother, why is this? Qinghe's family background and temperament are excellent, and her son is pleased with her..."

"Marriage matters are not that simple!" Madam Hou interrupted him, squeezed her fingers, and stared at her handsome son intently, with complicated thoughts.

She felt that God was really joking with her, and finally the marriage of her son and daughter got a little bit moving, but—

She took a fancy to the eldest princess's son, but not the eldest princess's daughter.

The eldest princess took a fancy to her son but not her daughter.

This is true, the world is hard to achieve.

Xu Guangji is a tendon. He finally had a happy person, so how could he give up like this?

He frowned and asked Madam Hou, "Mother, why is this?"

Madam Hou couldn't bear his grinding in the end, she was a bit hard to speak, she was cruel, and said in a low voice, "The princess said, the host of Qinghe County is weak and infertile. And she does not allow her son-in-law to have other concubines. Fang, I don’t want to make some concubines and concubines to worry the county lord. She just wants to find a man who treats the county lord wholeheartedly and loyally..."

When the eldest princess said this, Mrs. Hou only felt that the eldest princess was a bit more domineering!

Even if your own daughter can't give birth, why not let a man take a concubine? Isn't this forcing people to die off their children?

Mrs. Hou is a mother. How can she be willing to let her son have no future for a lifetime, and even if she is dying, she doesn't even have an heir to hold the pot.

Seeing Xu Guangji's silence, Mrs. Hou lowered her voice and persuaded her heartfelt words, "There is no fragrant grass anywhere in the end of the world, don't worry, your mother will continue to look at you for you, and she will definitely find a beautiful woman for you..."

Xu Guangji made a fist with his hands on his knees, raised his head, and his eyes were firm.

Madam Hou choked.

After a long while, he took a breather and stared at him, "Did you not hear what I just said?"

Xu Guangji repeated in a loud voice, "The son is going to marry the county lord."

Madam Hou’s brain is suddenly painful,” the eldest princess said. In order to prevent the husband of the county lord from changing his mind after marriage, she will give the man a bowl of extinct soup. After drinking this bowl of soup, the man will lose his fertility. In this way, you also want to marry the county lord?"

Xu Guangji nodded, "Marry."

Madam Hou trembled angrily, picked up the tea cup on the table and wanted to smash it, but she was reluctant to hurt her son and only smashed it to the ground in front of Xu Guangji.

With a sound of "wow," the cup and the cup were torn apart.

Madam Hou squeezed the arm of the chair, her voice trembled, "The requirements of the princess are so harsh, and you have to marry the county owner. Are you crazy? Our family is not a shabby household, except for the county owner of Qinghe, Chang'an. Which little lady in the city can't get married? Why are you so stubborn, really, really mad at me!"

Seeing that Madam Hou was about to poke out, Xu Wenchan hurriedly went to take her breath away, waited for her to ease her breath, and whispered, "Mother, actually...actually... Brother Qi and I already knew the physical condition of the county lord. NS."

Madam Hou looked stiff.

Xu Wenchan was a little bit embarrassed, but still wanted to speak for Brother Qi, "Brother Qi, he really likes the head of Qinghe County."

Xu Guangji stood up, strode to Madam Hou, and knelt down straight, "Mother, my son knows that you are thinking about me. But, for the rest of my life, my son doesn't want to face an unsentimental wife day and night... he wants to marry," I want to marry what I like. You have a deep relationship with your father, and your six elder brothers and sister-in-laws are also in harmony. Our family has no habit of accepting concubines... I never thought of accepting concubines.

As for the children, you and your father have seven sons and one daughter. Leave me alone. The children of the six elder brothers and the children of A Chan in the future are all of our Xu family's blood. "

His spine was straight, and there was a splashed teacup fragment under his knee, which plunged into the flesh, and he didn't feel any pain.

Xu Wenchan felt very distressed when he saw his Seventh Brother look like this, not to mention that Mrs. Beihou was the mother-in-law.

She looked at her stubborn son with mixed feelings.

The mother and son stood in a stalemate, and the atmosphere gradually became anxious.

Upon seeing this, Xu Wenchan gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Mrs. Hou, "Mother, you can let Seventh Brother and Qinghe be together. After the big deal, they will adopt a child? See if the six elders are willing to have a life. My nephew is an heir to the seventh brother, if they don’t want to... well, then I will give birth to one in the future and give it to the seventh brother as a son!"

This is a bit childish, but this intention is moving.

This pair of children has always made Mrs. Hou the most distressed.

Now seeing them all kneeling in front of her, on the contrary, she has become a heinous villain, and Madam Hou's eyes are a little sour.

After groaning for a long time, there was a tired color between her eyebrows, she raised her hand and rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and sighed faintly, "It's fine, it's fine."

Xu Guangji and Xu Wenchan raised their heads together and looked at her fixedly.

Madam Hou glared at them, "I gave birth to two debt collectors! If I'm afraid of you, don't hurry up!"

Both of them were taken aback.

Xu Wenchan reacted with joy, and quickly got up, threw herself into Madam Hou's arms, acting like a baby, "I know that mother loves us the most, and mother is the best!"

Xu Guangji didn't get up right away, but stubbornly kowtowed to Madam Hou, "My son is not filial, so my mother is worried."

Madam Hou's eyes were hot, she forced her tears, turned her head and hummed, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I don't care about you, as long as you don't regret it."

Xu Guangji got up, with a faint blood stain on the knees of his robe.

His voice was low and firm, "No regrets."
