Chapter 67 A-di's Trouble

After the plum blossom viewing banquet, Wang made a list and told her eldest son one by one: "This young lady from the Zhang family is quite good. She is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality."

Miss Zhang's grandfather was an old Hanlin, and her father, brothers, uncles and cousins ​​were also well-educated people.

The Zhang family had very strict requirements for their children. The young lady had a natural elegance and dignity that came from a scholarly family, and Wang liked her very much.

Xiao Mo pretended to recall the young lady's appearance, and finally said to his mother, "I have no impression."

Wang thought for a moment and then said, "What about the Luo family? Miss Luo seems very lively. It would be interesting to live with her."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "It's you, mother, who wants to live with her, right?"

Wang felt that having a simple mind had its advantages, but it seemed that such a young lady could not be the wife of the prince.

She somehow thought of the royal princess, who was a little arrogant, but it was not a big problem.

She's already a princess, yet he's still willing to hold her in high esteem. If that doesn't mean he really likes Mo'er, then what could it be?

"Although Princess Huayang's status is a bit noble, if you want, it's not impossible."

Wang had heard that she was always pestering her son, and considering how difficult it was to be the princess's mother-in-law, she had never thought of her at all.

What happened on the day of the plum blossom viewing banquet dispelled my concerns in this regard.

After hearing this, Xiao Mo glanced at his mother and went out directly.

"Oh! I didn't say it has to be her. There are other candidates here." After saying this, he sighed as he looked at the booklet that he had finally sorted out.

As soon as the person left his mother's place, someone from Songhe Hall would come to call him back.

Xiao Mo's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a mosquito to death, but he didn't dare to disobey his grandmother.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Xiao saw her eldest grandson, she smiled and said, "Are you bothered by your mother?"

Xiao Mo looked noncommittal, neither saying yes nor no, just smiling and waiting for his grandmother's next words.

The old lady smiled and said, "Please sit down! I have something else to ask you. Have you forgotten everything I told you before?"

Xiao Mo frowned and thought carefully for a while, but he couldn't think of anything else his grandmother had asked him to do that he had not yet done.

The old lady said, "I'm talking about your cousin Xu. She will be in mourning after the New Year. Last time I asked you if you knew any young men..."

Xiao Mo's expression was indifferent: "When did grandma become so concerned about other people's marriages?"

The old lady said angrily: "I also want to pay attention to you, but will you let me?"

Xiao Mo's face was expressionless: "Is it cousin Xu who is in a hurry to get married?"

"You kid! How dare you talk about a young lady like that? Who's in a hurry to get married? I don't like to hear that. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Your cousin Xu will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. If I'm not anxious for her, I'm afraid no one will be anxious for her. After all, your grandmother knew her mother back then. Now that she has come to our house, we can't let this child be delayed any longer." After the old lady finished this long speech, she sighed again.

Xiao Mo thought of the bead he took out from her lapel and was silent for a while.

"What are you standing there for?" The old lady looked at him.

Xiao Mo lowered his eyes and replied softly, "I didn't expect that grandma also knew cousin Xu's mother."

"I'm asking you a question! Do you have any candidates?"

Xiao Mo thought that even if he didn't help her find one, there would be people who would come to him.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm busy at the end of the year, let's talk about it next spring."

Seeing that her eldest grandson didn't seem to care much, the old lady thought that she should wait until after the New Year to take the child out for a walk.

Wang didn't end up deciding on a young lady at the plum blossom viewing banquet, but the New Year came in the blink of an eye.

Xu Shuheng also returned home from the Imperial College, but he would be ten years old the next year and it was not suitable for him to stay in Jiyunzhai any longer.

Chen allocated him a house in the outer courtyard.

Before leaving, Xu Shuyao looked A-di up and down again. He was not only darker, but also thinner.

Her eyes felt sore for a moment, "How are you doing there?"

Ever since my brother entered the Imperial College, it was always those two maids who delivered things to him, or they simply sent Cheng An back to get them.

Xu Shuyao didn't go to see him on purpose.

In the Imperial College, where powerful people are everywhere, A-di's identity is really not enough.

A young master without any background is enough. Xu Shuyao doesn't want people to know that such a young master has a beautiful sister. That will no longer be a good thing for him, but a trouble.

Shu Heng puffed out his chest and smiled, "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine!"

Of course there are some difficulties, but it is no longer appropriate to talk about them with the elder sister in front of me.

In just a few months, the ten-year-old boy had shed his immaturity and weakness and had his own armor.

Maybe it's not very hard, or even breaks with a poke, but it's his own.

It is formed naturally according to the environment, and uses spirit and cognition as the framework.

Xu Shuyao looked at the servant beside A'di, and Cheng An laughed and said, "It's okay! We're all fine!"

Xu Shuyao couldn't hide the appearance of the two boys. Her face immediately fell and she said, "Tell me what you are worried about. Do you want to wait until something happens and then catch me off guard?"

Xu Shuheng remained silent. After a moment, Cheng An said, "There's a young master named Sun who always asks our young master to do things for him..."

Before Cheng An finished speaking, Xu Shuyao's tears fell.

She should have thought of these things earlier.

"What's his name? Which family is he from?"

"Sun Xingyao."

"Sun family?"

Xu Shuyao had previously followed Chen to get a general understanding of the complex network of mansions in the capital, and had the impression that there was indeed a Sun family, but it was not very prominent.

"Didn't I tell you to tell others that you are relatives of Duke Cheng's Mansion?" Xu Shuyao said.

"It was fine before, but after hearing that we came from Duke Cheng's Mansion, that guy started to torment Young Master Shu Heng." Cheng An looked helpless when he said this.

Xu Shuyao thought for a moment, "Perhaps he has a grudge against one of the young masters in the mansion?"

Seeing that his elder sister had guessed it right, Shu Heng also said, "He said he was venting his anger on behalf of his younger brother. The Fifth Young Master had beaten him before."

Xiao Jinli, thinking of the temperament of the fifth young master of the Xiao family, Xu Shuyao felt that it was indeed possible.

Maybe before bullying A-di, he asked someone to find out that he was just a commoner's son living there as a guest.

Since this matter concerns the third house, Xu Shuyao suddenly thought of Xiao Jinwen. His temperament is relatively calmer than that of the fifth young master.

Seeing his sister's worried look, Shu Heng said distressedly, "I'll tell you what I can't say. As long as you don't go too far, I'll be patient."

Xu Shuyao thought about it and forced a smile. "Nothing, I'm just thinking about how to solve this problem! You give an inch, and they take a mile. It's not a solution to keep going like this."

"However, now that I'm back, I'll just spend the New Year at home and we can talk about everything else after the New Year." She continued.
