Mrs. Xu arrived at Xu Yanquan's yard early in the morning. Xu Yanquan had the habit of getting up early to practice. Mrs. Xu was waiting in the yard and did not allow the servants to disturb her, so she waited for him in the corner alone!
Xu Yanquan didn't see Mrs. Xu standing at the entrance of the courtyard until he finished practicing: "Why is mother here?"
"Let's see you!" Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "It's rare to take a break today, why don't you take a nap?"
"I practice at this time every day, I'm used to it!" Xu Yanquan said as he took the sweat towel from the maid and wiped his face.
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Yanquan who was covered in sweat and felt a little distressed, but she still said: "There are some things I want to tell you!"
Xu Yanquan paused, then nodded: "Follow me, mother!"
Although Madam Xu treats Xu Yanquan as her own son, there is not much age difference between the two of them, so Madam Xu mostly avoids going to his yard to avoid suspicion.
Today, Mrs. Xu suddenly said that she had something to talk to him about. It was probably a big matter, so Xu Yanquan led Mrs. Xu to the inner courtyard.
Xu Yanquan's house is as clean and tidy as it was in the first place. Mrs. Xu saw it, but she felt a little more distressed: "Your yard is so clean and tidy, it really doesn't smell like my daughter's house at all."
"I've been like this all year round in the military, and I'm used to it! Besides, the girls in my yard also do menial work, so it's normal that they don't smell like my daughter's home." Xu Yanquan said with a smile.
"You……"
Xu Yanquan pulled up a chair: "Mother, sit down!"
Mrs. Xu is actually eight years older than Xu Yanquan. She is said to be a mother, but in fact, many times, she is more like a sister. Mrs. Xu rarely talks to him in a mother's tone.
"You came back from the palace yesterday and saw so many ladies. Do you like any of them?" Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Yanquan and asked softly.
"It was hot yesterday, so they all put makeup on their faces. Soon it turned into a ball due to sweating. I really couldn't look carefully..." Xu Yanquan said with some embarrassment.
Mrs. Xu roughly guessed yesterday that if those women really wanted to marry Xu Yanquan, they would definitely dress up carefully. Unfortunately, given the weather yesterday, it was normal for them to wear makeup.
"You don't like any of them?" Mrs. Xu was still a little unwilling to give up.
"I really didn't look at any of them carefully." Xu Yanquan replied seriously.
Mrs. Xu nodded with some regret, and after a long time, she said, "I heard that you had a private conversation with Princess Zhengyang for a while?"
Xu Yanquan suddenly said: "Did Mo Mo tell his mother? We just happened to meet each other. Mother, please don't listen to Mo Mo's nonsense!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Yanquan for a long time, and then said: "It wasn't Mo Mo who told me, it was your father who told me!"
Xu Yanquan still didn't react: "It's probably Mo Mo..."
"Your Majesty told your father!" Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Yanquan and said softly.
Xu Yanquan was stunned, and after a long while he looked at Mrs. Xu: "Your Majesty, are you complaining to your father?"
In just that moment, Mrs. Xu suddenly understood that her son was obviously good-looking, capable, and good at studying. Why didn't he have a wife?
With this kind of brain, it would be amazing to have a wife.
Mrs. Xu took a lot of effort not to say these words: "Your Majesty is going to marry Princess Zhengyang to you!"
Simple and clear, without any beating around the bush. Only in this way can Mrs. Xu ensure that Xu Yanquan understands the meaning between the lines.
Xu Yanquan was a little dazed: "Mother, you are saying that His Majesty wants to marry Princess Zhengyang to me? Why? Is it just because I said a few words to him alone yesterday?"
"Of course it's because Princess Zhengyang has fallen in love with you, my silly brother." Xu Qingmo walked in at this time, "Mother has made it clear that she is here to ask you if you are willing. It's better for you. All you can think about is why? "
"Except for yesterday, I have never seen Princess Zhengyang. She is a legitimate princess, how can she marry me?" Xu Yanquan was still a little confused.
"Don't worry about these. Mother is here to ask you, are you willing to marry?" Xu Qingmo walked to Mrs. Xu, looked at Xu Yanquan in front of her, and said softly.
Xu Yanquan rubbed the back of his head: "Isn't this kind of thing the order of my parents or the words of the matchmaker? Why do you still ask me if I am willing?"
Xu Qingmo couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes to the sky: "Mom, you should marry him an ugly guy! I think all his brains are used to study, and he has been ruined by it!"
Mrs. Xu on the side was also a little helpless: "After all, this is your marriage. If you don't like it, mother will risk offending the Queen and go to the palace to push it for you!"
Xu Yanquan looked at Madam Xu, a little dazed.
"How can marriage be a trivial matter? If you don't like it and are unwilling to do so, you will become a resentful couple in the future. You will be irresponsible to yourself and to Princess Zhengyang!" Mrs. Xu said softly. .
Xu Yanquan thought carefully for a long time, then looked at Mrs. Xu: "Then, Princess Zhengyang agreed?"
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Qingmo, and then said: "Since Your Majesty asked your father to speak, he must have already agreed!"
Xu Yanquan thought for a while, then nodded: "That's it!"
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but frowned when she heard Xu Yanquan's words: "Xu Yanquan, this is your own life-long event. What do you mean, just leave it like that? If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You are so timid. Shrunk, what does it look like?"
Xu Yanquan has always abided by his duties and worked conscientiously since he grew up. This was the first time that Mrs. Xu scolded him.
He thought for a long time and then said: "I don't really like it, but I don't hate it either. Compared with the other women, Princess Zhengyang is much nicer and has a much better personality and temper. If she is a wife, it doesn't matter. , I think I can take good care of her!"
I don't like it very much, I don't dislike it very much, I can't say it has to be her, but if it's her, that's not bad. This is Xu Yanquan's idea.
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Yanquan for a long time, finally sighed and stood up: "I understand!"
When Mrs. Xu left, Xu Qingmo took a deep look at Xu Yanquan, then turned and left. Xu Yanquan still doesn't understand what he said wrongly, which made the usually gentle Mrs. Xu feel so sad!
