Chapter 97
Aman lives carefree, but this does not mean that she is stupid. Her brother actually left Xiao Yudie alone in the martial arts training ground. On the way back, his brother also warned her not to bring a female guest to the martial arts training ground next time. In fact, he wanted to know if she took the initiative to invite Xiao Yudie to come. When she thought about Xiao Yudie's attitude towards her brother, Aman understood it.
Xiao Yudie stayed with her for a short time and then asked where her brother was. She was obviously attracted to her brother!
But how dare Xiao Yudie think about the relationship between cousins? Did she think her brother’s surname is Feng and she could not be considered a relative of this clan, so she could marry her?
Aman also has the surname Feng, but she never thought that she and her brother were outsiders. The brother and sister did not change their surnames to commemorate their biological father. His father Xiao Zhen never loved them less because they did not change their surnames. Xiao Yudie's idea means that Xiao Yudie separated their brother and sister from his father Xiao Zhen, and he was not considered a member of this family!
Aman was very angry. She and her brother were the father's children. What kind of onion is Xiao Yudie? Do you really think that Xiao’s surname can interfere with the affairs of the Hou’s Mansion?
Although he was angry, Aman did not show it, and Ache did not easily complain. Both children were hiding it, and Su Jin didn't know what happened among the children. After Hua Shi's mother and daughter left, Su Jin politely asked Gao whether Xiao Yudie wanted to stay here for dinner. Gao happily agreed.
Before the dinner started, Archer sent a servant Ping'an to inform his mother, saying that he had to go out for some time and would not come back in the afternoon.
My son is old and has his own affairs, so Su Jin doesn't take it seriously.
Xiao Yudie was secretly worried, did the cousin not like her?
Archer chose a teahouse and sat in a street to drink tea. The handsome young man in a sky-blue robe attracted a lot of attention. Archer just thought he didn't know and sat alone. A woman in a civilian led a boy's doll on the street. Archer's eyes were attracted by the mother and son. Until the mother and son walked away, Archer still did not come back to his senses.
He had three fathers, biological father, adoptive father, stepfather. Archer did not recognize his biological father, missed his adoptive father, and respected his stepfather, but he had only one mother, and the feelings he had for his three fathers were not as good as those of his mother. Archer would never forget that year. When the mother and the mother went north, it was snowing heavily. Her mother wrapped him tightly in the quilt and hugged him firmly.
Archer wanted to stay with his mother for filial piety, but he wanted to inherit the incense of the Feng family for his adoptive father. It didn't matter if he lived in the Marquis' Mansion when he was alone, but after he became a relative and had children, two families in the Marquis' Mansion lived in the Marquis' Mansion. It was inappropriate for Brother Rui and Brother Sheng to respect him and kiss him, treat him as his biological brother, but what about the descendants of the family?
Brothers will have troubles, not to mention that if they are not related by blood, the separation is a destined ending.
Since sooner or later, Archer wanted to buy another house while he was married and officially set up his own business. The sage intention was unpredictable, and the crown prince was slow to establish himself. The three kings each had their supporters. If he took a wrong step, he might be doomed. If he split up with the Marquis' Mansion, he would be just Feng Che. If something happened to him, the Marquis' Mansion would be less involved.
Archer had long thought about dividing the family. Today Xiao Yudie reminded him again. Now he lives in the Marquis' Mansion, and Xiao Yudie doesn't treat him as a member of the Xiao family. There must be other people in the capital that think so. Once he moves out, his relationship with the Marquis' Mansion will become even weaker. Archer will also remind his parents to keep a distance from him until the three princes decide the outcome.
However, Archer hadn't figured out how to speak to his mother. The family had just reunited and Mid-Autumn Festival was about to be renovated again.
The sun sets westward, Archer took two boxes of pastries home for his younger brothers and sisters to eat.
Shortly after he came back, Xiao Zhen also came back. The couple sat around with their four children and were having a happy time.
After dinner, Aman mysteriously pulled his father to the yard and asked curiously: "Dad, if Sister Yudie wants to marry her brother, will outsiders gossip?"
Xiao Zhen's face sank and he frowned at his daughter: "Why do you say that?"
Aman said Bai Ri's observation and smiled, "I think Sister Yudie seems to like her brother very much." The twelve-year-old girl seemed to just think it was fun and did not show any resistance to this matter.
Xiao Zhen looked at the room and whispered: "Did you tell your mother?"
Aman shook his head and pouted and complained: "Mom entertains guests in the morning and takes a break in the afternoon to coax her brother. I want to ask her, she thinks I'm not quarrel and asks me to play." As for her father's relatives, Aman was worried that this would affect the relationship between the couple after he came out of his mother's mouth. Aman would rather her father think she was too troublesome.
Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Zhen was used to telling Su Jin to apologize by the way. If Su Jin knew first, the little woman would be full of ways to make him angry, and Xiao Zhen was really afraid.
"The cousins are relatives, and it is unethical to be together and is despised by others." Xiao Zhen taught his daughter seriously, "I will discuss this with your mother. Aman just pretends not to know about it, and don't mention it to outsiders."
Aman nodded sensiblely.
It was dark and the children went back to their rooms. Su Jin and Xiao Zhen went to the inner room.
Su Jin sat in front of the dressing table, and chatted with Xiao Zhen while taking down his hairpin: "Wen Qing is here today. Brother Rui said that Archer pointed at Wen Qing with his own fingers and shot an arrow. Archer took care of the little girl for the first time. I saw that these two children had a chance. I was going to the temple with Sister Hua to burn incense the next day, and what do you think?"
The little woman raised her eyes and eyebrows and raised her good daughter-in-law's joy. Xiao shook her lips and felt that mentioning Xiao Yudie was too frustrating to his wife's interest at this time, so she didn't mention it for the time being.
"You can try it. If it can be done, our two families will decide on the marriage before the New Year and choose an auspicious day after the New Year." Xiao Zhen said seriously. When Archer became a marriage, it would be unreasonable for the King of Yan to ask Archer to stay in the Yan Palace every day. When Archer goes home every day, Su Jin will definitely be happy. Besides, Archer gets engaged early and calls his niece Xiao Yudie to give up as soon as possible, so as to save the girl from being embarrassed.
Xiao Zhen is a man, and he is like a fish in water when he asks him to lead troops to fight, but Xiao Zhen is not good at dealing with these things in the back house. It is best to solve them smoothly without losing the face of the girl.
Xiao Zhen decided to wait until his wife came back to burn incense and then adapt to the situation. If the Huo family was unwilling to marry her daughter, Archer's marriage would not be settled yet. He went to talk to his cousin Xiao Guangrong, so that Xiao Guangrong could teach his daughter how to understand the reason why his cousins could not get married. Archer's surname is Feng, but Xiao Zhen had long regarded Archer as his own son.
On August 12, Su Jin took Aman and Ache accompanied him to the city to meet with Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit set out earlier and had arrived. The mother and daughter were sitting in the car, outside the car with guards and maids. Huo Yunteng was nineteen years old and took the military officer's way. He started working in the imperial guards last year, so he could not accompany his mother at any time.
The two families walked one by one, and couldn't talk on the road. They arrived outside Jiuhua Temple and everyone got off.
Archer stepped forward and saluted to Hua: "Huixiao met his wife."
Huaixiao is the word Archer took for himself.
Every time she heard her son say the word "filial piety", Su Jin's heart couldn't help but feel sore and warm. She gave birth to four children, and only Archer lived a poor life with her and understood the hardships she had gone through the journey best. When her son took such words, he wanted to remind him to be filial to his mother at all times, right?
Fahrenheit also admired Archer very much and praised him a few times.
Horwenqing stood beside her mother, looked at Archer quickly, then lowered her eyes, pursed her lips gently, but her mood suddenly became better. It was strange that the foreign man who had only seen once in so many years could actually affect her mood.
The little girl was secretly moved, but she didn't know that Su Jin was secretly observing her favorite daughter-in-law not far away. Seeing that Huo Wenqing rarely showed a little bit of the cuteness of her little daughter, Su Jin was overjoyed. Hua Fa loved her daughter so much. As long as Huo Wenqing was interested in her son, the marriage would basically be done!
The maple leaves were red in the temple. After the group took the incense, they were happy to appreciate the maple leaves. Aman led Huo Wenqing and walked in front. Su Jin asked his son to go over to guard the two sisters. When his son walked away, Su Jin asked Hua softly: "Sister, I heard that the man who went to the mansion to marry Wenqing recently had almost stepped on your threshold. Which one did you like?"
Fahrenheit was funny: "Who told you? There are only a few families in the throne."
Xiao Zhen was born in a good family. He was poor and had a good reputation. However, her husband, Huo Weizhang, was a traitor who lived in seclusion among the great clans. He had not been favored by famous families in the past. In recent years, his husband was responsible for the errand of the commander of the Jinyiwei, and offended many people. Although his daughter was good, he was implicated by his father. No good family came to propose marriage.
"Why do you like it?" Su Jin continued to ask.
Fahrenheit looked at her daughter's back and shook her head bitterly: "Who dares to marry her if there is such an executioner's father?"
Su Jin continued without thinking, "I dare, Wen Qing is a good child I have watched with my own eyes. I have wanted to marry her and be my daughter-in-law for me. I am afraid that my sister will dislike my Archer and will not be embarrassed to speak to you for a long time."
It’s not that Fahrenheit couldn’t see that Su Jin liked her daughter. She also liked Archer very much, but Su Jin didn’t speak up, and Fahrenheit also thought that Su Jin was afraid of her husband. Unexpectedly, both of them misunderstood each other. The hero did not ask where the source was. Archer was smart and steady, and could not find anything to be picky about. As for Archer’s life experience, his biological father was the prime minister in the dynasty, so how could he be embarrassed? That’s because Su Jin didn’t want to pay attention to Shen Fu, otherwise Archer would have become the noble son of the prime minister’s family.
"My sister said this again, she just didn't treat me as her own person." Hua said disgusted and did not allow Su Jin to belittle Archer again.
Su Jin pretended to eat, and said, "Sister hasn't agreed to treat Wen Qingxu as my daughter-in-law yet, so I will treat Archer as your half-son to protect him?"
Hua Fahrenheit was amused by her. When she looked at the children, she said cautiously: "We are not satisfied with the marriage of our children. We have to ask them what they mean. Archer left it to you. I will ask Wen Qing again when I go back."
Su Jin nodded: "Okay, so if Wen Qing is willing, you don't have to tell me. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will directly ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage. If Wen Qing doesn't want to, just ask your marquis to send a message to my family tomorrow."
Fahrenheit said: "Ifacher..."
Su Jin interrupted her with a smile: "Don't worry, Archer must like Wen Qing. I don't understand him as a mother?"
When Fahrenheit heard this, he looked forward and saw Archer picking a high maple leaf for Aman. Then, he seemed to turn his head and say something to his daughter. The daughter shook her head, and the three children continued to move forward.
