Ever since he came back from outside that day, Xu Qingmo was always unhappy. After helping read the account books of the house every day, he would go back to the house and lie down. No matter what Princess Zhengyang said, she would not go out again.
Xu Qingmo always stayed in the room reading a book. Sometimes, when it was dark, he would not light the lamp and just watch under the moonlight. Hua Ying and Qu Lian didn't know what was wrong with their girl. When they asked, they just said it was nothing. Just have to worry.
Hua Ying made delicious cakes for Xu Qingmo in different ways, but every time, Xu Qingmo would only take a faint taste. He also ate much less of the three meals a day, and he seemed to lose weight.
"Girl, what's going on here?" Huaying came out with a pastry she took a bite of, her face full of worry, "How about we ask a doctor to take a look?"
"Didn't I invite the doctor to see me a few days ago? He said that the girl is fine, so she must have something on her mind!" Qu Lian glanced at Xu Qingmo in the room, "Maybe she has something to worry about, and it's not easy to talk to us. explain!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Xing Zhengyang arrived. Hua Ying and Qu Lian hurried forward: "Your Highness Princess..."
"No need, is Mo Mo in the house?" Zhengyang said as he walked in. She often came to Xu Qingmo's yard. She was familiar with the place and knew where she liked to stay the most, so she walked straight over.
"The girl happened to be reading a book!" Hua Ying hurriedly followed her.
Zhengyang was helpless: "I'm reading again. Every day, I like reading more than anyone who studies!"
Hua Ying quickly opened the door: "Girl, the princess is here!"
Xu Qingmo raised his head and looked at the door. When he saw the princess coming, he moved a position on his bed: "Sister-in-law, sit down!"
Zhengyang looked at Xu Qingmo, who couldn't seem to get any energy, and sat down next to her: "What's wrong with you these days? Why are you so miserable every day?"
Xu Qingmo put down the book in his hand, looked at Zhengyang and smiled: "No, it's probably because the weather is not good and I can't get excited!"
Xu Qingmo's lie was not clever at all, but Zhengyang didn't expose it. He just smiled and picked up the book she just read: "The Book of Songs? Don't you usually read these books?"
"I asked my eldest brother to help me find the book, but there is no news yet. I am really bored, so I found this book to read!" Xu Qingmo said helplessly, "Sister-in-law came to see me today, not just to talk to me, right? !”
Zhengyang paused, and then said with a smile: "Just now, the eldest lady of the Langya Wang family asked Madam Xie from the Diange University scholar's family to come and propose marriage to you. She is talking about the eldest son of the Wang family. In recent years, the Wang family's talent The eldest son, the eldest son, won the imperial examination at a young age, and now he also has an official position. I asked my mother, and she thought it was pretty good, and I want to find time for you to see each other!"
Xu Qingmo frowned slightly: "Must you watch it?"
Before Zhengyang came, Mrs. Xu had told her that Xu Qingmo didn't like to hear these things and asked her to persuade her tactfully. So Zhengyang was already prepared and said, "Mo Mo, I'm a busy man. When someone comes to visit, I can’t refuse it directly!”
Normally, Xu Qingmo would inevitably frown and argue, but today, she really couldn't muster the energy, so she asked: "Is it okay as long as I have seen it?"
"Yes!" Zhengyang nodded.
"See you then!" After Xu Qingmo said that, he picked up the book and read it again.
When Zhengyang came out of Xu Qingmo's courtyard, her face was still full of surprise. She looked at the maid beside her: "Did she just agree?"
"Yes princess, Miss Xu agreed just now!" the maid replied softly.
Zhengyang thought of Madam Xu's repeated warnings and always felt something was strange: "Didn't Madam Xu say just now that Mo Mo hates this kind of thing? How could he agree so easily?"
"Perhaps Miss Xu has figured it out?" the maid tried to explain.
Zhengyang was very surprised, but he didn't say anything. He just waited for Xu Yanquan to come back and told him about the matter: "...Tell me, did Mo Mo suddenly realize that he would get married sooner or later? , why not start looking at each other earlier, so as to give yourself more choices?"
"You mean Mo Mo agreed?" Xu Yanquan was a little surprised, "How could that be?"
"You think it's strange too!" Zhengyang walked to Xu Yanquan and put the ginseng chicken soup prepared earlier in front of him. "Even my mother-in-law found it strange. She had spent a lot of time talking and was speechless. Can I make Mo Mo agree?" Zhengyang said, and suddenly remembered, "Tell me, could it be that Mo Mo was afraid of me being in trouble, so he wronged himself?"
"Don't worry, Mo Mo will not wrong himself even if he makes everyone in the world difficult!" Xu Yanquan patted Zhengyang's hand and asked, "Where are you going to let them see each other?"
"The other party wanted to come and watch. My mother-in-law and I both thought that coming to see her would be too formal. It just so happened that my mother-in-law was going to prepare for a polo match in a few days, so I just wanted to watch it at the polo match!" Zhengyang He said, "I asked someone to inquire about it. He is a highly motivated person, and his surroundings are clean. He only has an enlightened roommate, and we can just let him go from now on!"
Xu Yanquan frowned slightly when he heard the word "tongfang": "How can we just let go of the love we have had since childhood?"
"Most families are like this!" Zhengyang sat next to Xu Yanquan and sighed softly, "She will raise an obedient girl next to a man since he was a child. When the man becomes sensible, he will let this girl enlighten him and give him some affection. Those who get a share will be given a title after they get married, and those who are worse off will just find a way to get rid of them!"
Xu Yanquan naturally understood, but Mrs. Xu and Marquis Ningyuan both felt that it was not good, so they did not raise such a girl for Xu Yanquan. The girls around him were all the most well-behaved, but because of this, the relationship between him and the princess On the wedding night, both of them suffered some hardships.
"How can a first-in-law who has been in love since childhood be easily dismissed? Even if she is dismissed, the wife will be known as a jealous woman. If she is not dismissed, she will have a relationship with her husband for many years. The woman is lying in the middle, as if she is stuck in the throat, how uncomfortable is it?" Xu Yanquan shook his head.
"Is it possible that you want to find someone as clean and self-sufficient as you for Mo Mo?" Zhengyang looked at Xu Yanquan and asked softly.
"Shouldn't it be right?" Xu Yanquan asked.
"That's right, but there are really very few families like this!" Zhengyang sighed, "Being able to marry you is my greatest blessing!"
