Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 1 Hot Potatoes

The hottest sweet potato in the capital was thrown into the backyard of the He family, causing an uproar in the room.At that time, He Shaoguang was quietly decorating a cup of almond milk with sweet-scented osmanthus.

Ever since the Lu family left for the funeral at the beginning of the year, there have been rumors that the second room will meet again with a girl of the right age to find a good match.

He Changjie hastily pushed the door open and entered, but the little servant girl who was dozing off in the corridor jumped up.

"Shaoguang, the second wife of the Lu family has come to propose marriage, but don't be afraid, father and I will never agree to anything!" He Changjie clenched his fists, with a solemn and solemn expression on his face.Afraid of bumping into his own sister, he paced back and forth in the room.

"Second brother is here by coincidence. Sit down and taste the almond dew I just ground. Add yam, lily and white fungus, it can nourish the spleen and stomach." He Shaoguang smiled at him, pushed the bowl forward, and signaled Zhijun stepped forward to serve He Changjie.

He Changjie couldn't see slowness the most, so he waved his hands anxiously: "What else to drink?! You don't panic at all, but I'm like a monkey, I can't even sit still!"

"Didn't you tell me not to be afraid?" He Shaoguang was puzzled.

He Changjie was speechless, unable to refute for a while.

"Since the second brother doesn't like to drink this almond milk, then Zhijun will drink it for him. Oh, my wrists and I are so sore because of this small bowl."

Zhijun quickly thanked the reward when he heard the words, and took it consciously, and seemed to feel sorry for He Changjie unintentionally: "It's a pity that the second young master can't drink the almond milk that our girl grinds with her own hands, and the sweet-scented osmanthus brewed last year honey..."

"Who says I won't drink it?" He Changjie was the most impatient. After being provoked, he didn't want to compete with the girl's family for a cup of sugar water, so he asked Zhijun with a stern face: "Is there anything else to prepare?"

Jun Zhi accepted with a smile, and went to the small kitchen to make a new one for He Changjie.

Only two brothers and sisters were left in the house. Seeing that He Changjie was still embarrassed, He Shaoguang cleared his throat:

"Second brother loves Shaoguang the most, and is worried about this matter for me today, Shaoguang knows it clearly."

"Sister, second brother..." He Changjie sighed again when he mentioned this matter again, "To tell the truth, Lu Er is a good man and a good general. Second brother has dealt with him several times in the Xishan camp, but it's a pity... His family situation It's too complicated! Otherwise, if Lu Xiaowen comes to propose marriage, the second brother will not object."

"Shaoguang understands," He Shaoguang sighed quietly, "it's also thanks to his wife's early death, leaving behind a son and daughter. Otherwise, how would such people like us?"

The Lu family inherited the Duke, and since the old Duke passed away, the title has been vacant, and it is time to choose one of the three sons of the Lu family to inherit.The second room, Lu Xiaowen, as a young general, defeated the Qiang army several times, so he was very popular.

Even if Lu Xiaowen had a dead wife from a noble family and left behind a pair of children, now that the boy has been enlightened, he is only 25 or [-], which is quite handsome.

Under such circumstances...to find the He family, to be honest, it was He Shaoguang who made the move.

He Jingsong is just a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.The master of the He family, the Tanhualang back then, spent half his life still in the tail of the sixth-rank civil servant, and was promoted step by step in the same year, why is this not embarrassing?
When He Shaoguang hadn't fully accepted the memory of the original owner, he thought that there were some royal secrets in it... In fact, his father was too upright, and once he spoke harshly in the hall, he was sent to the Hanlin Academy by the admonisher today Repair idle books.It's been so many years, and I don't know if I've calmed down today?

After these two sentences, Jun Zhi also came back, carrying the almond milk that He Changjie had been thinking about, and a stack of crispy spring rolls fried this morning, and the fillings were made by He Shaoguang himself.

When He Changjie saw the exquisite and lovely spring rolls, he couldn't help feeling empty in his stomach.

One bite, the spring rolls are crispy on the outside, and the filling is salty and juicy.With the steaming almond dew sliding down his throat, the sweet taste also soothed his restless heart just now.

"Second brother, just keep your heart in your stomach. Parents naturally have their own ideas, and we can't afford to offend such people." He Shaoguang comforted, with two shallow dimples on the corners of his mouth.

Finally seeing this one off, Zhijun came in and gently held He Shaoguang's arm.

"The girl seems to be much calmer, and she looks more like a young master." Zhijun laughed, and when no one else was around, the two of them were much more relaxed in gossiping.

"If elder brother is at home, I'm afraid he will drag him into the alley and beat him up on the way back?"

When He Changfeng was mentioned, He Shaoguang also smiled.It's a pity that the eldest brother is studying abroad now, so there is no such excitement.

It was unexpected. The He family and the matchmaker who proposed the marriage said that they would think about it. After the matchmaker returned, Master He and his wife closed the door to discuss for several days, mysteriously.

A few days later, there was another letter from He Changfeng's family, with only a few words on it: "I will arrive home in ten days."

Of course, He Shaoguang didn't know about these things. She was playing with cats, walking birds, tinkering with food in her small yard, and didn't care about these things.

So when the unshaven Big Brother He appeared in Fangfei Garden, He Shaoguang's eyes almost popped out.

"Big... big brother?"

Although He Changfeng has been on the road for several days without taking a bath, although there are blue stubbles on his chin, although the elder brother who has always been self-discipline looks very haggard at the moment...

But this didn't affect He Changfeng's still standing tall and straight. When he squinted at He Shaoguang with his eyes, He Shaoguang felt guilty for a long time.

But, she doesn't seem to have done anything bad?
Thinking of this, He Shaoguang boldly responded to He Changfeng's gaze: "Why don't you tell Shao Guang when you come home? As a younger sister, you can cleanse your brother, ahaha..."

After speaking, her voice became quieter again. She remembered that after being scolded last time, she specially made "replenishing soup" for He Changfeng who stayed up all night studying.He Changfeng drank it without frowning, and only made her stand in the courtyard with the salt jar on her back for two hours.

"Come with me." He Changfeng dropped those words and strode away.

His stride is extremely large, probably as tall as a man and with long legs.He Shaoguang didn't know why, so he had to walk quickly to keep up with small steps.Seeing that He Shaoguang was struggling to walk, He Changfeng still slowed down.

It turned out that he brought her to the main courtyard, He Jingsong and Hai Shi had already been waiting in the back room, both of them looked unhappy, but they didn't show any anger either.

"Father, mother." He Shaoguang saluted obediently, and He Changfeng also nodded.

Haishi was a little excited when he saw He Shaoguang today, his eyes were red, He Jingsong patted the back of his wife's hand to express his comfort.

"Shaoguang..." He Jingsong said, "You know the Lu family, right?"

He Shaoguang was taken aback, what's the reason for this?Didn't you refuse?

"Daughter knows." He Shaoguang replied, after thinking about it, he added, "Daughter knows about the situation of the Lu family and the marriage proposal a few days ago."

"Since you know, then I'll tell you about the family's plans." He Changfeng was really tired, sitting on the stool and pinching the space between his eyebrows from time to time.

"If you have no objections, father will return to the matchmaker over there in two days to accept this marriage."

"Ah??" He Shaoguang didn't react at all.

It may be that He Shaoguang was too surprised, afraid that she would be sad, Haishi hastily explained to her: "Actually, your father decided to directly reject this marriage at the beginning, and we are not a family who is afraid of power."

Seeing her nodding, Hai Shi continued: "This idea was actually made by me. Shaoguang... Mother didn't tell you, and she never told anyone else..."
