The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 283
Xiao Mingyu squeezed Xiao Mingxuan's hand, signaling her to be calm. "Mother, Fourth Sister is not a fool. Even if you don't understand who is sincere and who is not, even if you don't understand it at first, you will be able to see it after a long time."

"That's not bad. Mingxuan, take a good look to see if Li Tianbao is sincere or not."

After the Chai family's mother and son arrived at the Xiao family's East Mansion, they first took a rest and met the old lady of the East Mansion, and then came to the West Mansion to see the old lady Xiao and Mr. Xiao.Naturally, they also met Xiao Mingqi and Mrs. Tan.Everyone is interested in making friends, so it is natural to get along happily.Even Xiao Mingqi, who had some resistance to this marriage, couldn't get angry at all when he saw Chai Zixiu.

In short, this meeting can be described as a joy for the host and guest.

That night, after washing up, Chai Zixiu came to Mrs. Chai's room to talk.

This is related to her son's marriage, Mrs. Chai must be cautious, and she wants to know Chai Zixiu's own thoughts.So Mrs. Chai asked directly, "Self-study, you have met everyone in the eldest family of the Xiao family, and you have also met that Xiao Mingqi, what do you think? If you are willing, this marriage can be settled." .”

Chai Zixiu smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry about the engagement."

Mrs. Chai looked at Chai Zixiu strangely, "Self-cultivation, do you have other ideas? Are you unwilling to have this marriage. If so, let's stay here for another two days and go back first."

"Mother, what do you think of the fifth house of the Xiao family?" Chai Zixiu didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Fifth room?" Mrs. Chai immediately remembered Han's big belly, "Could it be that you have a crush on the girl from the fifth room? Self-study, if you do this, the Xiao family will definitely have opinions."

But Chai Zixiu said: "Mother, don't care what the Xiao family thinks for now. My son just wants to ask his mother, can the marriage of the fifth house of the Xiao family be done?"

"If you want to talk about the fifth house of the Xiao family, it is naturally not as good as the first house. But Mrs. Han is the daughter of Mr. Han Ge. With this relationship, the fifth house is much better than the first house. But today, talking to Mrs. Han, I can hear something, Mrs. Han intends to talk about a marriage for her daughter in the capital."

"As mother said, with the relationship of the Han family, the fifth house of the Xiao family is not comparable to the big house of the Xiao family. Mother can remember what happened to my father when he went to the capital to report on his work last year. If we could get to know the Han family at that time, we would have a better chance of getting acquainted with the Han family. Mr. Han Ge mediates among them, so my father will not be made things difficult in the Ministry of War. Moreover, Mrs. Han’s second brother is now the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he happens to be in charge of his father. If he can establish a relationship with the Han family, his father will ask the Ministry of War for food and grass in the future. It’s much easier to ask for weapons, personnel, and cotton clothes.” Having said this, Chai Zixiu sighed, “Mother, others say that our Chai family controls most of the power in Yanzhou, but they don’t know that our Chai family wants to maintain Yanzhou. The peace of the state, no matter how much effort has been expended, still cannot achieve the wish. There are always countless people who come out to hinder their legs."

"Mother understands what you mean. But Mr. Xiao, the eldest son, is now in a high position. If we go back on our promises, people will definitely hold grudges." Mrs. Chai said worriedly.

"Mother, we didn't go back on our word. We just didn't like Xiao Mingqi because Xiao Mingqi's reputation was too bad. After we returned to Yanzhou, things here gradually faded away. After half a year, we will tell Han Madam proposes marriage, what does mother think?" Chai Zixiu asked.

Mrs. Chai frowned, "Xiao Mingqi's reputation is not good, and it's okay to use this reason to refuse. It's just that Xiao Mingxuan from the fifth room doesn't have a good reputation. His temper is as irritable as Xiao Mingqi's. And this time you come to Yanzhou, you Father has already ordered that if it is suitable, the marriage will be settled. If we show that we look down on Xiao Mingqi, then your father may not be able to explain to the Xiao family."

"Mother, father's son will explain it. And we don't need to show that we don't like Xiao Mingqi. We can go back to Yanzhou first, discuss with father, and then write to aunt and grandmother. At that time, Xiao's east mansion will send the letter to the west mansion." While explaining, I think in this way, the Xiao family will have nothing to say." Chai Zixiu had already thought of everything.

Mrs. Chai frowned, "Xiao Mingqi is not good, and I don't like Xiao Mingxuan either. Do you really want to marry Xiao Mingxuan?"

Chai Zixiu laughed, "Mother, Xiao Mingqi actually has merits. He is of the right age, has courage and guts, and there is no need to worry that he will not get used to the customs of Yanzhou after arriving in Yanzhou. And my son thinks that compared with Xiao Mingqi, she is more Xiao Mingqi is better."

"You really think so? Isn't it because of the Han family?" Mrs. Chai was a little suspicious.

Chai Zixiu smiled and nodded, "My son really thinks so. My son has already understood all the way."

Mrs. Chai still hesitated, "If you really want to get married with the fifth wife of the Xiao family, you should choose Xiao Mingyu instead of Xiao Mingxuan. Xiao Mingyu is quite suitable except for her young age. She is good-looking, smart and sensible. .”

Chai Zixiu laughed, "Xiao Mingyu is indeed very good, but he may not be suitable for his son. In his son's opinion, Xiao Mingyu is too smart, so he is worse than the relatively simple Xiao Mingxuan. There are many smart people around my son, and my son hopes My wife can be simpler and more straightforward."

Mrs. Chai laughed, "Okay, mother understands what you mean. Let's not talk about this matter for now. After you go back, you have a good talk with your father. If he has no objection, mother naturally has no objection. But Han Madam may not agree."

"Mother, I saw Mrs. Han today, and my son thought Mrs. Han's problem was not serious. The key lies in Xiao Mingxuan himself. Mother doesn't know, Xiao Mingxuan glared at his son the first time he saw him, and he didn't pretend to speak. The son was worried that she didn't like him. At that time, there will be accidents in the marriage." Chai Zixiu looked depressed.

Mrs. Chai laughed, "You boy, you have always been unfavorable among girls. I didn't expect to run into a wall in front of Xiao Mingxuan. It seems that you and her are really destined. But mother can't help you with this matter. , if you want to marry her, then you can figure out a way yourself."

Chai Zixiu touched his nose, he could take the initiative to approach Xiao Mingxuan, but it was not realistic and Xiao Mingxuan would doubt it, fearing that it would be self-defeating.Another one, one person is in Zhongzhou and Yanzhou. It is impossible for him to stay in Zhongzhou for a long time, and it is impossible for Xiao Mingxuan to go to Yanzhou.It is highly unlikely that the two will meet frequently.And Hsiao Mingxuan's age is not too young, if someone else decides, it will be troublesome.Chai Zixiu decided to place a few people here in Zhongzhou to help him keep an eye on Xiao Mingxuan.When the time is right, he will come to Zhongzhou again.

The mother and son reached a preliminary agreement, and each rested.

The next day, Mrs. Xiao prepared a banquet for the mother and son of the Chai family.At the banquet, Mrs. Xiao made indirect comments on Mrs. Chai's meaning many times, but Mrs. Chai never missed a single word, leaving Mrs. Xiao nowhere to say anything.Later, Mrs. Xiao asked someone to ask the second wife, Mrs. Xie.Mrs. Xie replied that the Chai family still couldn't make a decision, and they had to go back to Yanzhou to consult Master Chai before deciding whether this marriage could be done.
