Clear clothes and immortals

Chapter 77 Bad News

"Mother, don't listen to Yiran's nonsense. We just brought some meat and roasted it in the wild. It is probably the reason why Yiran has never eaten it like this before. That's why I think it is very delicious. In fact, the taste is not very good!"

Shuxuan was tricked by Liu Yiran, and quickly explained to Mrs. Liu.

"That's not right! My sister's roast meat is delicious. I can't eat enough. If my sister didn't let me eat later, I could still eat a lot!"

Liu Yiran didn't seem to feel Shuxuan's thoughts, and was still talking happily there.

"Yiran, what did you say?"

Shuxuan saw that this guy from Sister Hang was still talking there, so she couldn't help but said to Liu Yiran in a calm voice.

"Sister, I..."

Liu Yiran was startled by Shuxuan's voice, turned around and saw Shuxuan's slightly warning eyes, so frightened that he immediately stopped talking, covered his mouth with his hands, and pretended to look innocent. The book Xuan.

"Mom, I suddenly feel a little tired. I'll go back and have a rest first! I'll go first!"

After speaking, Liu Yiran quickly ran away.

"Hey! This kid! Run slowly, or you may fall!"

Madam Liu looked at his disappearing back, smiled and shook her head, then turned to Shuxuan and said, "Xuanxuan, you know how to cook, this is not a bad thing! Why do you have to keep it secret?"

"Mom, where do I know what to eat? It's just some barbecue methods I read from the book. When I took my brother to Zhuangzi this time, I suddenly remembered it, so I took him out to eat once. You also know that he likes to eat meat on weekdays, and this time it is a new method that he has never eaten before. Of course he will find it novel! I am afraid that he will not digest if he eats too much, so I let him eat a little less. I know he's still thinking about it!"

Shuxuan explained to Madam Liu.

"That's okay! Why don't you let Raner talk?"

"Isn't it because barbecue is so simple? Just put it on the fire and sprinkle with seasonings. It's very simple. And I don't know anything else except this. If my brother's words spread and let others know, when the time comes I don't know anything, how embarrassing it is!"

Shu Xuan pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"You! It's just that you have a lot of thoughts, so let's talk about it here, who else will know!"

Mrs. Liu gently tapped Shuxuan's forehead and said, "Since you are afraid that someone will laugh at you, then you should learn to make some snacks! You are so smart, I believe you will soon. When you learn it, Let's see what else can be said!"

"Mom, I don't want to learn it! It's hot and stuffy in the kitchen, and it's uncomfortable to stay in, and the smoke and dust are so heavy, it will cause great damage to the skin! What will you do if your daughter turns ugly?"

Shuxuan acted like a baby to Mrs. Liu, for fear that Mrs. Liu would let her learn cooking skills in a brain twitch.

"Okay! If you don't learn, don't learn! I didn't say anything!"

Madam Liu said to Shuxuan.

"Mom, when I came back just now, I saw Aunt Su and Cousin Qingran outside, but Cousin Qingran seemed very disappointed, and Aunt Su was not very happy, did something happen to them?" ?”

Shuxuan didn't want to talk about cooking anymore, so she just wanted to say something casually to divert the topic, and suddenly thought of Su Qingran and her son she saw on the way home, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Hey! It's pitiful to say the least!"

Madam Liu sighed and spoke slowly.

"Didn't your cousin, Qingran, take the provincial examination before? Now that the results are out, he won No. 1. This time he came to the capital to give us good news."

"Cousin got married? Isn't that a good thing? Why is he so disappointed?"

Shu Xuan was a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly! This should indeed be regarded as something to be happy about, but this time he came not only to announce good news, but also to propose marriage with Shuqi."

"Marriage proposal? Cousin and third sister?"

Hearing this Shuxuan was a little shocked. When Su Qingran lived in the mansion before, she didn't see much contact between the two of them?Why did you suddenly get engaged?
"That's right! It is said that Mrs. Su made an agreement long before Su Qingran took the provincial examination. After he passes the examination, the two will get engaged. After two years, Su Qingran will be able to take the examination, and then officially marry your third sister after high school. Your grandma also knows about this."

"This is a good thing! Did something unexpected happen? Did grandma go back on her word? Rejected this marriage?"

"How could you refuse! This is something that was agreed a long time ago. Besides, Su Qingran has been smart since he was a child. He studies hard and is very sure of passing the exam. It's just that your Aunt Su is worried that he won't be able to bear it. That's why he was asked to wait for the next round to take the test."

At this point, Mrs. Liu stopped, took a break, and then continued.

"But just a few days ago, your father was appreciated by the emperor for his errands in the court. The emperor specially decreed that our whole family be promoted to the Han army banner. For this family who has entered the Han army banner, women cannot decide their own marriage. Participate in the audition first, and only if you lose the selection can you marry freely, so the matter between your cousin and Shuqi is also dirty!"

"Huh? Han army flag? Draft?"

Shuxuan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she exclaimed.

"I'll go! What the hell is Kangxi doing? Why are Jia Liu's family entering the Han army flag? You're out of your mind!"

"That's right! I just feel sorry for them! Over the past few years, with Madam Su's acquiescence, these two people have developed some feelings for each other. Now that this matter is disturbed, these two children don't know how sad they will be! "

Mrs. Liu said regretfully.

"Mother, that's not right! Although we are participating in the audition, we may not be able to be selected! Besides, our family background is average, and the chance of losing the election is also high. We can make an agreement now, and we can discuss marriage when we lose the election in the future!"

Shu Xuan looked at it with some doubts.
Mrs. Liu, I don't understand why they gave up this marriage like this.

"Although I say that, who can say for sure what will happen in the future! If you wait for a few more years, if your third sister is favored by someone and married by the emperor, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Have you met Su Qingran?"

Shuxuan thinks about it too, people in this era usually get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, if they wait until Shuqi is drafted, then Su Qingran will be 16 years old by then, and it would not be so appropriate to talk about getting married at that time.

This Qing Dynasty is really troublesome!
This Kangxi is also true!How about joining the Han army flag?And everyone has to participate in the draft, otherwise no one will be allowed, isn't this obviously torturing people?

Thinking that she was going to participate in the draft in the future, Shu Xuan felt a shock in her heart. She stood there like a commodity and was selected by others. Is this the treatment a person should have?
However, it is not easy to be selected, but it should be quite simple to lose the election!It's enough to spend some money. Could it be that Liu Wenhao couldn't think of this?Or is he having some crooked idea again?
