Chapter 295 Venting
The new champion, Cao Lang, who just entered the Hanlin Academy, decided to kiss yesterday.
The marriage of the champion of the new division is a new thing that the people are paying attention to. Not to mention that the Yue family who climbed the champion of the new division is the Xia family—the person who is about to marry, and is the youngest daughter of Xia Shoufu's family!
After the news of Ding Dingqin spread, there have been countless people who came to congratulate the formerly lively champion mansion recently.
There are still a few taboos in the officialdom, but when you meet with classmates in the past, you don’t need to worry too much, and you can speak more straightforwardly.
"Brother Cao Xian is double happiness this time!"
"Yes, Brother Cao is really a blessing... Just after entering the Imperial Academy, there are more first assistant adults to be the father-in-law... When I wait for the entrance to the department, I will have to ask Brother Cao to help me more."
"I heard that the four girls of the Xia family are lively and good-looking... are the beauties who many noble children in Beijing can't marry."
"Either you say Brother Cao is good fortune, it's envious that I'll wait..."
Listening to these words, Cao Lang smiled modestly and mildly on his face, but smiled bitterly in his heart.
After staying in the afternoon and sending away all the guests, Cao Lang went to the study.
Raised a pen to write a letter, but halfway through, he sighed, and after all, he crumpled the letter paper and threw it into the wastebasket.
He didn't know how the four girls of the Xia family looked like. He didn't dare to look closely at the door that day through the screen, but no matter how good the other party was, they weren't the person he really wanted to marry.
He already has a sweetheart.
Although he has not made a marriage, he has long been in love with each other. When he entered Beijing for the exam, Ben Xu Nuo Fangniang would definitely go to her home to propose a marriage and marry her gracefully.
The news of his high school has been sent back to her hometown, Fang Niang must be waiting for him with joy...
But, he is a person with no background in power, how dare he refuse the proposal of today's first assistant to get married?
Once it refuses, it is an enemy.
He studied hard for more than ten years before he came back today. He has a great future ahead...He dare not and cannot tell the fact that he already has a sweetheart.
He just wanted to write to Fang Niang, telling her about his difficulties, and asked her to wait for him again, and wait for him to stand firm in the officialdom, and then take her to the capital.
But this is too selfish...
The future is unpredictable. He can't let her wait any longer. In the end, all he can give her is the identity of a concubine.
Cao Lang suppressed the pain in his heart and wrote a new letter.
It is that he can't help her, and now she can only find another good family to marry.
After writing the letter, Cao Lang sealed a few silver ingots, found a credible person, and asked him to return to his hometown.
He and Xia Xi’s wedding date will be set in two months.
Xia’s family has already begun to prepare for this.
Everything from the dowry to the sewing of the wedding dress needs to be prepared in advance.
"No more embroidering!"
Xia Xi accidentally punctured her finger, frowned and discarded the embroidered bandage and needle thread in her hand.
Let her embroider the kerchief again, and let her embroider the pillow scarf. What is the use of embroidering these?
When she thought of lying on this pillow towel in the future, the man who could not hide his old look and shabby appearance, she felt extremely disgusting-lying on the pillow towel embroidered by her hand, would he fit it?
Seeing that she had a temper again, the little maid did not dare to speak, and silently went forward to pick up the embroidered bandage, and put it back to her.
This move still angered Xia Xi.
She got up suddenly and slapped the little maid’s face with a slap.
"Snapped!"
"I said no more embroidering, are you deliberately against me! Don't take it to me and throw it away!"
The little maid resisted the tears, answered "Yes", took the things quickly, bowed her head and walked out of the inner room.
Xia Xi sat back, closed her eyes, and tried her best to control her inner anger and unwillingness.
After all, she still couldn't control it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged. She raised her hand to grab the little beast incense burner and smashed it out.
Followed by the sound of broken porcelain bottles and other objects one after another.
Listening to these noises, the maids who were guarding outside looked at each other, and none of them dared to enter.
Until there are guests in the courtyard.
"Girl, Miss Zhou came to see you..." A maid came in boldly to pass on.
Zhou Wei?
Xia Xi frowned.
Zhou Yu is the daughter of the Minister of War. She played with her in a big handkerchief since she was a child. When she was young, the two of them had occasional friction, but the older they were, the more docile temperament of the other party became, and she always listened to her. if.
smashed something in the room, Xia Xi's anger almost died down, and she got up and went out to meet the guests.
"Axi, I am here to congratulate you."
Zhou Yan is only fifteen years old this year. Like his elder brother, he is slightly fatter, with round cheeks, and he smiles with a pair of small tiger teeth, appearing innocent and harmless.
Looking at the gift in the hands of the maid behind her, Xia Xi smiled and twitched the corners of her mouth, and said, "You are interested."
If it weren’t clear that the other person was a solid eye, she would even wonder if it was deliberately making fun of her.
"There is a pair of butterfly hairpins here, I picked them for you, A Xi, let's try it?" Zhou Yan smiled and pulled Xia Xi into the inner room.
Xia Xi stood still, and hurriedly said: "Try again later!"
In the inner room, she was smashed into a mess. She didn't want the other person to watch her jokes, and then faced her with a surprised expression, waiting for her to explain something.
faintly saw a piece of broken porcelain next to the curtain, Zhou Yan's eyes flashed, and when he turned to look at Xia Xi, he still showed a puzzled expression: "Axi, what's the matter with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I just want to go out for a stroll, so I will try again later." Xia Xi preached casually.
Zhou Wei surprised her by holding her arm: "Then I will stay with you. We haven't been out together for a long time."
Xia Xi sneered in her heart.
This is true.
Since the second brother's accident, she has been reluctant to go out for a long time, just because she didn't want to face those strange discussions and eyes.
Fortunately, there are always new things that attract everyone's attention, and no one will always put their minds on an old thing.
The two left Xia Mansion together and went to visit two rouge shops on Xiyi Street.
While Xia Xi was picking rouge, Zhou Yu’s maid walked in from the door and whispered a few words in Zhou Yu’s ear.
Xia Xi glanced at her friend, and asked nonchalantly: "What's the matter?"
"It’s nothing, just Xiaoyun reminded me that there is a study room not far away-before going out today, my brother asked me to buy him an inkstone back."
Xia Xi said "Oh" and continued to choose Rouge.
Waiting to pay the money, after leaving the shop, Zhou Yan took her to the study.
"I just looked at you with a lot of students around this door, what are you looking at?" A guest in the study asked.
The guy smiled with You Rongyan's tone and replied: "Just now, the new champion came to the store to buy pen and ink!"
Beside the bookshelf, Xia Xi, wearing a power fence, frowned subconsciously.
Goodnight everybody.
