"Dad! It's time to eat!"
Xia Jinjun glared at his sons and said, "Well, eat. Look at you guys. You are not as sensible as Zhiliao."
A few boys stuck out their tongues. Ling He was too embarrassed to say that he also missed the food cooked by Miss Jinxiu.
"I don't know what's going on with Jinxiu in the county. She didn't even send me a message. Can she come home for a visit?"
Old Mrs. Xia also began to miss her daughter, but she didn't say that it would be better to raise a girl at home instead of putting her in the hard work of showing up in public.
"Several matchmakers have come to her house, waiting for her reply."
"Mom, my aunt is with my fourth brother, so why are you worried?" said Xia Chen.
Cheng Han also nodded. Her belly was now bulging. Xia Zhiliao was worried and often went to check her pulse, fearing that something might go wrong. Fortunately, looking at her pulse and the condition of her pregnancy, the size of the fetus was just right.
"Yes, Second Sister-in-law is right. When Fourth Brother gets married, she will definitely come back. Mother, my aunt is really capable. I envy her."
Old Madam Xia glanced at her and said, "Why are you envious? You have also found a job with your second sister-in-law. When you give birth, you can work with her."
Cheng Han nodded and looked at Xia Chen with gratitude.
Before, when she was at home, her parents treated her like a patient and wouldn’t let her do anything or even go out of the house. They would worry to death at the slightest sign of wind.
Don't even think about being able to do anything.
But after arriving at the Xia family, she found that everyone in the Xia family had something to do, and she also had the same idea. After she said it out loud, her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law were very supportive.
"Come to think of it, it hasn't been long since the fourth son got married, and he's left everything to us, not paying attention to his own affairs." Old Mrs. Xia seemed to be complaining, but she was actually missing her son.
"Mom, who are you? With you around, there's nothing for my fourth brother to worry about." Xia Jinjun said.
No wonder the old lady loved him before and was good at talking.
"Just go ahead and coax me. You all coax me. I, an old woman, can't compare with you. Oh, you have to arrange Jinqing's marriage."
Xia Jinqing's face turned red, and she lowered her head and ate half a bowl of rice.
"What are you shy about, kid? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Your fourth brother is done, so it's you, right? The matchmaker introduced me to several girls, and I actually have one that I like!"
[Grandma, Uncle Wu actually has a very good marriage prospect. Do you really want to get involved? ]
Xia Zhiliao lowered his head hesitantly. Originally, Xia Jinqing had a wife in the capital who shared his joys and sorrows with him. However, if no one in the family came to Beijing, she didn't know whether her fifth uncle's marriage would change.
Xia Jinyu, who was always not good at speaking, said: "Mother, Jinqing is still young and is still an apprentice. This is a serious matter. Let's talk about his marriage later. You can't arrange our marriages all at once!"
Xia Jinjun also nodded, "That's right, mother, I know he's too honest, I have to be picky about choosing a wife."
After hearing what Xia Zhiliao said, Old Lady Xia changed her mind, but she couldn't take back what she had said, and her two sons gave her a way out.
"I've thought about it, you two brothers are right. Let's talk about Jinqing later and arrange for the fourth child first. Jinxiu is not young anymore, so she needs to settle her marriage as well."
It is not acceptable for my daughter to marry the old emperor and be buried with him.
Get married first, so that she will end her relationship with the old emperor.
Old Mrs. Xia thought secretly.
Xia Jinxiu came back first. After the restaurant matter was settled, she came back to prepare for the wedding of Xia Jinheng and Lei Jiuniang.
"Chiliang, come here."
Xia Zhiliao walked over and asked, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
"Here, it's for you!" Xia Jinxiu took out a small pearl flower. After Xia Zhiliao saw it, he couldn't let it go. It was really beautiful.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it. Thank you, little aunt!" Xia Zhiliao said happily. No girl could refuse such beautiful and exquisite jewelry. "I wish little aunt a prosperous business, a lot of money, and a mountain of gold and silver."
"You little girl, your mouth is sweeter than honey." Xia Jinxiu said with a smile, "Do you really think your aunt can succeed?"
"Need I say more? My aunt is the best cook in the world." Xia Zhiliao said.
Xia Jinxiu just felt that the little girl's words that it could be done were more reassuring than a hundred words from outsiders.
"By the way, guess who I met in the county these days?"
[Who did you meet? My little aunt is so excited, could it be that there is something going on with the county magistrate? ]
Xia Jinxiu blushed slightly, "Ahem, what are you thinking about? Let me tell you, you helped this person before."
Helped?
She has never helped the county magistrate.
She had helped in the county, and he was the only one who made her aunt mention this.
"Are you talking about the young master of the county magistrate's family?"
"So smart!" Xia Jinxiu smiled and said, "It was him. I met him when I was strolling on the street. He saw me but not you, and he was quite disappointed. He asked me to take you to the county later to thank you very much."
"This young master is really good, sensible, and doesn't have the airs of a county magistrate's son. He's quite likable."
"Aunt, do you like him?"
“I quite like this kid!”
[Yeah, my aunt has a good impression of the county magistrate's son, which means the county magistrate's education is also good. I'm afraid there won't be any conflicts if my aunt really marries him in the future.]
Xia Jinxiu thought to herself, why does this little girl worry about her own affairs all day long?
Unexpectedly, Xia Zhi is not the only one who is worried about her getting into trouble.
Old Mrs. Xia called her into the house to tell her about this.
"Jinxiu, you are not young anymore. You have to settle your marriage even if you don't want to. The matchmakers this time are all from wealthy families. I asked people to find out. They are definitely not lying, and they are not old men. They are definitely suitable for your age."
"Mom!" Xia Jinxiu frowned. She didn't know that the old lady was afraid that she would not be able to enjoy her glory for a few years at such a young age and would be buried with others, so she remembered to let her settle the marriage.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm busy with the restaurant business right now, and I can't always ask my fourth sister-in-law to help me. Her shop has just opened, and I don't have time."
"Everyone understands. I'll tell you it won't hinder your restaurant business."
Xia Jinxiu still shook her head, but she also had a solution, "Mom, it's hard to say how the restaurant will turn out. If I make a lot of money, I will definitely look down on ordinary people. If I lose money, will the man be happy? So, there's no rush for this matter. Don't we still have Fifth Brother?"
"Your fifth brother is..."
"What's wrong with fifth brother?" Xia Jinxiu asked.
"Your fifth brother is a man, it won't hurt to get married two years earlier or later. But you are a girl, how can you not be engaged at the age of eighteen or nineteen?" said Old Lady Xia.
