Chapter 1776

A game of chess, played for an hour.

Yuxi put down the chess pieces in his hand and said regretfully, "I lost." Fortunately, it's not a shame to lose three.

"Yes." In fact, Xu Wenchang was also very surprised. He only heard that he had outstanding piano skills with Princess Shu, but did not expect that his chess skills with Princess Shu were so excellent.

Yuxi said with a smile, "the emperor also likes playing chess. He would be very happy to know that you are so good at chess."

Hearing the name, Xu Wenchang felt a strange feeling: "it's said that the emperor's chess skills are excellent, and how dare the minister dare to make a fool of himself in front of the saint?" Xu Wenchang has been awarded the official position, and has read from Wu pin's Imperial Academy. This starting point is very high. Because of this, Liu Er will be moved.

"You are also very good at chess. If you play with the emperor, you will win in the fifth five." Xu Wenchang's talent is amazing, not inferior to the original Qihao. But it's a gift from heaven. Ordinary people can't envy it.

Without waiting for Xu Wenchang to open his mouth, Yuxi suddenly asked, "have you ever had a girl you like?"

Topic change too fast, Rao is quick response Xu Wenchang also can't help Leng next. When he got back to God, Xu Wenchang shook his head and said, "No. I've been running for my studies all these years, and I'm just thinking about other things. "

"Really not?" After that, Yuxi looked at Xu Wenchang.

This look, let Xu Wenchang great pressure. However, he shook his head and said, "No."

Yuxi's topic is another turn: "the eminent monk approved your life, saying that you should not talk about relatives before you are 21 years old, or your life will be hindered.". Is this true? "

"It's true," he nodded

Yuxi chuckled and said, "if I'm right, the so-called eminent monk should be found by yourself. The purpose of this is to prevent your mother from casually accepting your marriage."

On a hot day, Xu Wenchang was in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Xu Wenchang didn't open his mouth, Yuxi smiled and said, "am I wrong?"

In front of such a powerful man, Xu Wenchang dared not lie: "the princess guessed right. That monk, I really found it. However, I do not want to guard against my mother, but I do not want to make a marriage before the meeting. "

Yuxi believed that he didn't want to decide on a marriage before the meeting, but he must be right to guard against his mother. Yuxi smiled and said, "it's hard for you." Before that, she really thought Xu was a powerful woman. As a result, it was totally different from what was expected.

Hearing this, Xu Wenchang shook his head and said, "princess, I feel very lucky. Although my family is poor, I met my husband and my teacher. With their help, I am today. " The gentleman here is the private teacher who enlightens him.

Although today, he has suffered a lot that ordinary people can't understand, but Xu Wenchang thinks that it's all worth it.

"It's nice of you to think that way, and I hope you can keep it up." With a grateful heart, it is not easy to be influenced by other people and will not be assimilated by the environment. So Yuxi hopes that this is Xu Wenchang's sincere words.

Finish saying, jade Xi laughs Yang voice way: "come to a person, take Xu Zhuangyuan to go down to eat." It's also impolite to let people leave after dinner.

Xu Wenchang left the garden with questions.

Yuxi saw fengzhixi and liuer and said, "I'll talk about it after I've eaten."

Feng Zhixi is dying in a hurry. If he doesn't succeed, how can he be so smooth. However, he only dared to complain in his heart.

After dinner, Feng Zhixi could not hold back: "mother, what do you think of this Xu Wenchang?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "appearance, ability, conversation, behavior and character are all first-class."

Fengzhi Xile said that Yuxi would like to see Mozhu. He didn't expect that.

Liu Er asks: "Niang, so can say to give him coquettish?" Yuxi said that he was very good. This marriage must be right.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "xuwenchang is very good, but not suitable for Jiaojiao."

The gap between the front and the back is too big, so fengzhixi has some reaction but to come: "empress mother, you said that all aspects of ink bamboo are first-class, why is it not suitable for Jiao Jiao?"

Yuxi gave a very simple example: "Jiao Jiao is a flower that can't stand the wind and rain in the warm room, while Xu Wenchang is like a hundred year old pine that has gone through the wind and frost. Do you think such two match? "

Feng Zhixi couldn't understand Yuxi's words. He couldn't help asking, "what is a hundred year old pine that has gone through wind and frost? What do you mean, mother? "

Yuxi simply said the conversation she had just had with xuwenchang: "if I don't guess wrong, I'm afraid xuwenchang started to be the head of the family when he was very young." Xu Wenchang is confident in her ability to be neither humble nor arrogant, but his ability to observe the world and human feelings is to be honed in life.

Liu er's focus is on Xu's body: "Niang, do you mean that Xu's role is not as powerful as I think?"

Yuxi took a look at liu'er and said, "Xu Wenchang and Jiao Jiao are not suitable. What's Xu like? Is it necessary to pay attention to her? "

Liu er said with a smile, "I'm reluctant to say no to my mother's good words to Xu Wenchang."

Feng Zhixi was also reluctant to give up: "after his mother, Xu Wenchang knew that the world was cool and the human feelings were cold and warm. She was delicate and pure white as paper. I think the two matched each other just right!"

"Jiao Jiao should marry a husband who treats her as a treasure so that she can live happily. And Xu Wenchang, what he needs is a wife who is able to help her manage the housework and maintain the relationship between home and abroad. " Jiaojiao has been spoiled since she was young, and her food and clothing are all exquisite. She has never suffered any grievance since she was a child. Let's not talk about the future of Xu Wenchang and her, but let's just say that they can't get along.

When Liu Er heard this, she gave up.

Feng Zhixi still couldn't bear to say: "after mother, Jiao Jiao is also a good steward. And she's very good at coaxing people. I think she can get along well with old lady Xu

Yuxi didn't answer this, but asked, "what do you think is the most difficult person to get along with?"

Liu er said, "it's the hardest thing to get along with unreasonable people." People like fenglianwu can't get along with each other.

Feng Zhixi thinks it's the hardest thing to get along with people who can't communicate.

Yuxi said: "for a very simple example, Jiao Jiao needs tens of liang of silver for any clothes. It's too luxurious for old lady Xu, who has to spend a penny carefully, to accept it. What do you think of the Jiao Jiao if she wants to wear coarse cloth like her? With a delicate disposition, I'm sure I'm not willing to compromise. How can two people with different ideas get along well? "

In fact, Liu Er thought about it. But Xu Wenchang is so excellent that she has suppressed these concerns.

Feng Zhixi said: "after mother, we will give Jiao Jiao a large amount of dowry. Jiao Jiao flower uses her dowry, and Xu old lady has no right to interfere. "

"For many people, the married daughter-in-law belongs to their family, let alone the dowry." This idea is not an individual phenomenon, but a universal one.

Feng Zhixi's face changed slightly.

"Xu Wendong was a scholar in the exam, and he has a big brother who has a reputation for outstanding talents. His future is not bad. According to Xu Wendong's conditions at that time, it was not difficult to marry him a girl with a good family background. But old lady Xu can let her second son marry her niece. It can be seen from this that old lady Xu is a very short-sighted woman. " So it is not impossible to regard the dowry of a daughter-in-law as something of one's own.

Feng Zhixi is still fighting in the corner: "maybe, that girl has something special about her!"

Yuxi smiled: "as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the relationship should be very harmonious. But the girl and Mrs. Xu don't get along very well. "

Feng Zhixi is a little silly: "mother, how do you know this?"

"When I mentioned this man, there was a flash of disgust in Xu Wenchang's eyes and a little cold in his words. If it wasn't for this woman, Xu Wenchang wouldn't have looked that way. " I think a lot of things happened in the middle.

Words all said this up, Feng Zhixi also dispelled the idea of marriage. Although I like Xu Wenchang very much and want him to be his son-in-law, but these are not important for the delicate happiness.

Thinking of this, fengzhixi said: "after his mother, dushao's youngest son is very good in all aspects. Moreover, he has always been fond of Jiao Jiao. If you marry Jiao Jiao to him, he will surely hold Jiao Jiao in his hand. "

"All the time?"

Feng Zhixi nodded and said: "Du Shao said that when he saw Jiao Jiao at the age of ten, he liked Jiao Jiao. After he was admitted to Qianwei camp, he begged the Madame of the State Council to come and ask for marriage, but Liu Er refused. Later, he asked Du Shao to tell me It is because of Du Zhaozhang's sincerity that he talks to liu'er again and again.

"Yu Xi nodded and said:" Du family and Feng family are also door-to-door, he is so infatuated with Jiao Jiao, as long as the character can be good in this family

Liu'er hesitated: "Niang, you don't know what Roche's temperament is. Jiao Jiao doesn't get along with her."

"Not only are you afraid that Jiao Jiao will not get along with her, but you don't want to be a relative with such a person, do you?"

Liu Er saw this and said: "Niang, Jiao Jiao doesn't want to. Say that if you really marry Du's family, you have to be careful when you speak and do things. Otherwise, a bad person in the whole capital will know. "

Feng Zhixi said: "after mother, Roche is not so good, but the Duke and his wife and Du Shao are rational people. Du Shao also said that if Jiao Jiao married to Du's family, he promised not to let Jiao Jiao suffer a little injustice. "

Liu'er said, "in case Roche is going to be embarrassed, what will be done then?"

"Xu Wenchang can't do it, nor can he make it clear. To choose according to you, Jiao Jiao really has to stay as an old girl. " Xu Wenchang didn't know the root, but Yuxi denied that he had nothing to say. But Du Zhaozhang knows the root and the bottom, because some of Roche's tuneless back, it's impossible to say.

Once again, the couple fell apart.
