Chapter 1105 Xing'er's Marriage
When he returned to Qinghe Villa, Chen Xu found Niu Dashi and Xing'er, and there were only three people in the room, Chen Xu and Chen Hu and Chen Jiang.
"Dad, mom, what's the matter with me and Brother Dashi?" Xing'er ran in and asked loudly.
Although Xing'er is almost fifteen years old, she has lived in Xianyang with Chen Xu over the years. Whether in the Women's College or in her daily life, she has been exposed to the daughters of kings, princes, nobles and wealthy merchants. She has learned to read, arithmetic, painting, dance, music, tailoring, embroidery and other high-end education that rural girls cannot access. In the past few years, not only has her temper very different from before, but also has a good life of daily life to ensure good physical development. She has tall figure and skin. Even among the daughters of kings, princes, princes, and nobles, her appearance is not much inferior. The only thing is that she is more prosperous and her habit of talking loudly cannot be changed. She still retains the characteristics of the little rural girl at the time.
"Dashi sit!" Chen Xu asked Niu Dashi to sit next to him.
"Xing'er, come on, mom, hold it!" Chen Jiang also waved to let Xing'er sit on her lap.
"Brother Xu, what happened?" Niu Dashi sat down, suddenly feeling a little nervous.
"This time I asked you and my parents to come to Xianyang. One is to take you to Xianyang to have a chance to play. Unfortunately, my aunt didn't come and could only wait for the next time. The other thing is your marriage with Xing'er..."
"Marry~" Xing'er, who was sitting on Chen Jiang's lap, exclaimed and stood up, then stared at Niu Dashi, and her cheeks slowly turned red.
"Sit down, it's so good to be clamoring!" Chen Hu gently patted the handrail, Xing'er turned her head to look at Chen Jiangshi, and pouted, "I'm willing to marry Brother Dashi, but...but I don't want to go back to Qinghe Town!"
"Hu~" Almost at the same time, three exhaled sounds seemed to sound in the room.
Chen Xu did not object, which reduced many worries and troubles. Chen Hu was really sorry for his daughter. He went out to fight at the age of three. When he came back, Xing'er had already followed Chen Xu to Xianyang to live. The father and daughter had almost no close relationship. Although they were harsh, if Xing'er really resisted this marriage, he would be even more troublesome. As for Chen Jiang, she and Niu Dashi's mother farmed and chatted with each other every day. When Xing'er was still very young, they had already regarded each other's children as their daughters-in-law and son-in-law. They took good care of each other on weekdays. Dashi's mother also hoped that her son would have been married for several years. At this critical moment of marriage, if the Chen family regretted it, the relationship between the neighbors for decades would probably be broken, and it would be embarrassing to meet in the future.
Xing'er doesn't object at the moment, so there is almost no problem with this matter.
As for Xing'er's unwillingness to return to Qinghe Town, Chen Xu's opinion, it was simply natural. No one would be willing to go back.
Xianyang is so prosperous and lively. Here, there is a brother who is the left prime minister, two sisters-in-laws, the most respected sister-in-law in the women's world, and a sister-in-law with great martial arts skills. Even if she is a daughter in Xianyang, no one dares to provoke her. Seeing her, the children of the princes and princes could only carefully curry favor with her and dared to offend Qinghehou's sister. They would probably be broken by their father when they came home.
What's more, there is a large group of female classmates in Xianyang who are good friends with her, all of whom are the daughters of the Wanghou and Gongqing family. They are similar to her status. They have long since thrown Qinghe Town and Xiaohe Village to Java for fun every day.
As for marrying Niu Dashi, Xing'er also adhered to the customs and habits of her parents in this era. She probably has recognized that her future husband will be Niu Dashi since she was a child. Therefore, her identity habits have been changing for so many years, but this idea has never changed.
Seeing Xing'er himself not objecting, Chen Xu immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, you don't want to go back to Qinghe Town and Xiaohe Village, so I will buy a large mansion for you in the city. Dashi will go back and take my aunt over with you. At that time, the wedding will be held in Xianyang and live in Xianyang from now on, so that we can meet frequently!"
"Hehe, I knew my brother was the best to me!" Xing'er hugged Chen Xu's arm and smiled happily.
"Brother Xu..." Niu Dashi hesitated and stood up, his face a little nervous, "I...I don't want to come to Xianyang..."
Uh! Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and asked strangely: "Why? Don't worry, I must let you marry into a marriage, but just let you settle your home in Xianyang. If you think it's not good for me to pay for you to buy a house, even if I lend it to you, you will pay it back slowly at that time, let alone you and I have been close to you since childhood, so you don't need to care about money..."
"No, no!" Niu Dashi shook his head like a rattle. "Brother Xu has not been in Qinghe Town for a long time, but the fiefdom is so large that he must be taken care of. There are so many workshops in the town, I... I can't rest assured, I'm worried that others will not take good care of..."
"You really think so?" Chen Xu asked in surprise.
"Well, Brother Xu is now the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. He is one person and above ten thousand people. In the world, you are the largest in the emperor. We grew up together. Your business is mine. But you also know that I am stupid. I can't help you with anything when I come to Xianyang. But I am still familiar with Qinghe Town. I can help you manage your fiefdom. In the future, my nephew will inherit the title of Qinghe Marquis after his birth. Everything is fine on the fiefdom. If you want money, you have food and food, my uncle is not in vain..."
Niu Dashi said sincerely, Chen Hu and Chen Jiang were both moved. Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a long time and said, "You have helped me manage Qinghe Town over the years, which has indeed made me feel much more relaxed, but don't worry too much. If you are willing to come to Xianyang, I will arrange someone else to go back and take care of Qinghe Town!"
"Brother Xu'er doesn't need to persuade me. I'm not used to being in Xianyang, and my mother is not used to it. She has never gone far away. Brother Xu taught me to be filial to my parents. If I come to Xianyang, my mother will definitely not be willing to come like Uncle Hu's aunt. Xiaochun is still young now and my father is gone. I must take care of my mother and Xiaochun, and then I will build a house for Xiaochun to marry a wife..."
"It's really hard to make a big stone. It's sensible and filial!" Chen Jiang's eyes turned red and began to wipe his tears.
"Xing'er, did you hear Brother Dashi's words?" Chen Xu turned to look at Xing'er.
"I heard it!" Xing'er pouted and nodded unhappily.
"Xing'er, Dad was not at home before, and you, your brother and your mother suffered a lot. Dashi was right. We were unwilling to live in Xianyang. Xiaohe Village is the most relaxed and comfortable living. Let's go back with us. Qinghe Town is the fiefdom of your brother. You and Dashi are relieved to help take care of him. There are so many workshops earning millions of dollars every year. You haven't been back for two years. Now Qinghe Town and Zhi County have changed a lot. There are cement roads everywhere. There are also buses between Qinghe Town and Zhi County. They travel three times a day every morning, noon and evening. It is convenient to come and go. It is also convenient to get to Wancheng. You can go back and forth in one day, and the roads are also smooth. Even if you want to come to Xianyang in the future, it will only take about ten days..."
"Don't worry, sister Xing'er. After you marry me, if you want to come to Xianyang to play, I will never stop you!" Niu Dashi also said to Xing'er with a red face.
"Then... well, after I go back, I will open a girls' school in the town to teach them how to learn music, dance, painting, weaving and embroidery, otherwise it will be too boring!" Xing'er lowered her head and thought for a long time, but nodded and agreed.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to go back to Qinghe Town tomorrow to build a big house for you and build a girls' school as well!" Chen Xu stood up happily and said with a smile.
"I knew my brother was the best for me, so I went to talk to a few sisters-in-law!" Xing'er ran out of the room with a blushing face.
"Okay, this matter is decided so. When the house in Qinghe Town is repaired, you will hold a wedding for Xing'er and Dashi. Xu'er will go back when she has time. Don't force it if she has time. After all, national affairs are the most important, so as not to worry the emperor!" Chen Hu also felt a stone falling to the ground and his whole body felt relaxed.
The next morning, Chen Xu wrote a letter and asked his servants to send it to Zhixian County in person, and asked Zhixian County Magistrate Liu Tong to gather people to choose a residential land with good feng shui in Qinghe Town to build a house with at least 30 acres. He also said that he would arrange for craftsmen to go back and guide the installation of tap water, showers, and a complete set of kitchen and bathroom facilities.
In addition to opening Xing'er and Niu Dashi's wedding room, a women's vocational middle school will also be built in Qinghe Town, so that Xing'er has something to do after she goes back.
After staying in Xianyang for so many years, it is impossible to let Xing'er go back to farm and raise pigs. When he was a child, he had no choice but to do such dirty and tiring labor. Chen Jiang did not do much by himself. Occasionally, he went to the fields to grow some vegetables, fruits and melons. Zuo Xiang's parents would never have the opportunity to do heavy farm work in person. Not to mention that the family servants would not let him go, the villagers in Xiaohe Village and Qinghe Town could not afford to lose their face.
In the next few days, Xing'er went out early and returned late and said goodbye to a group of sisters in Xianyang and gave each other some gifts. Although she seemed a little disappointed, she was not particularly unhappy. Moreover, after knowing that she was about to get married, she began to speak softly while being shy, not as loud as before.
When Yu Ji learned that Xing'er was going back to get married, she felt even more disappointed. She followed Xing'er like a shadow every day, and she would cry sadly when she slept in the middle of the night. As soon as Xing'er left, she had no playmates to spend time with her day and night.
"Or why do you follow Sister Xing'er back to Qinghe Town?" Chen Xu called Yu Ji, who was depressed, to him and said gently, touching her hair.
"Sister Xing'er is going to get married, and she will be Brother Dashi's wife from now on. I won't marry Brother Dashi, why should I go back?" Yu Ji shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"You said that, but people always have to grow up, and some things always need to change. Just like your father, it is impossible to stay with us forever. Everyone has things that everyone likes, and everyone has a different life. When Yu Ji grows up in a few years, she will get married and leave the Hou Mansion. She can't be with Brother Xiaoxu from time to time!" Chen Xu nodded with emotion.
"No, I won't leave the Hou Mansion. I want to marry Brother Xiaoxu. This is my father's order. Sister Xing'er doesn't want to go back, but uncle has made a baby kiss for her, so she still wants to go back. This is an ancient rule. No one can violate it, otherwise someone will laugh at Chen Xu..." Yu Ji stubbornly opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Xu.
Chen Xu couldn't help but his heart beat a few times.
Suddenly, he found that this little girl who was almost every day was a little different and even stranger. In seven years, the little girl who Yu Wuya picked up from the whistling cold winter seemed to have grown up suddenly. The twelve-year-old Yu Ji is no longer the chubby little girl who only knows how to chase Xing'er's butt in the past few years. Not only is her physical development well, she has a little bit of a girl's tenderness, but her clear eyes have also become a bit gentle and shy. Although her face is still very tender, she has her own ideas, her own cognition, and her own stubbornness. These big, clear and transparent eyes are the windows of her soul, showing her persistence that she has never changed from beginning to end.
What an injustice, why did the idiot Yu Wuya say that thing back then?
Chen Xu sighed quietly in his heart.
In this ancient era, many people are really just stubborn.
They stick to their promises, they value reputation, and they remain unswerving for their own pursuits. This is an era of stubborn thinking but extremely expressing their personality. It is basically not the same race as China more than two thousand years later.
