Qin Fang didn't dare to bring this matter to himself: "I will never drink other people's wine outside." Qin Fang always kept his promises, so if he said he wouldn't touch it, he would definitely not touch it, and Yang Haiyan believed it.
However, Yang Haiyan raised her eyebrows: "Really? What if someone insists on you drinking?"
Qin Fang said righteously: "I have to take care of my body to give birth to a child. Whoever wants me to drink is someone who doesn't want me to give birth to a child."
"..." Yang Haiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The next day
, after Qin Fang got up, Yang Haiyan was still sleeping with her warm son in her arms. He called Tao Shan to investigate Qin Shouye's affairs.
Baby Qin Linyang slept with his parents. In summer and autumn, he slept in a cradle. In winter, the weather was really cold. Yang Haiyan was worried about him sleeping alone, so she brought him to sleep with her. But the baby slept in the innermost, because Qin Fang didn't like there was one person between him and Yang Haiyan.
Yang Haiyan was still sleeping, and baby Qin Linyang, who went to bed early and got up early, had already woken up. He was seven or eight months old, and because he ate well and had good nutrition, he was very active. He turned his little head to his mother, and seeing that she was still sleeping, he climbed up on the bed by himself. He didn't crawl out of the quilt, but crawled into the quilt, crawled into the quilt, and then climbed on his mother's body, trying to turn over her body.
Yang Haiyan had woken up a long time ago. Even if she hadn't woken up before, how could she not wake up after her son tortured her like this? So when the baby climbed on her, she hugged him and pulled him out of the quilt: "What are you doing?"
Seeing that his mother woke up and he was caught again, he was not afraid. He smiled at Yang Haiyan: "Mom..." The soft voice really touched Yang Haiyan to the core.
Like all mothers, she always felt that her son was the cutest baby in the world when she saw her son wearing a full filter. As soon as he called, she surrendered. "Do you want to get out of bed and play outside?"
The baby naturally didn't understand what she said, but sometimes he could understand what she meant, which was magical. Hearing his mother say this, he cried again in a baby voice: "Mom...Mom..." and wanted to hug his mother and pull her out.
"Then wait until mom gets up." Yang Haiyan put the child aside, pulled up his quilt, and then put on her clothes. However, as soon as he got free, he became naughty and couldn't lie in the quilt, so he wanted to crawl out. Yang Haiyan spent a long time to tidy up both of them.
After the mother and son were tidy, they went to have breakfast.
Yang Haiyan ate wontons and poached eggs, and the baby ate egg soup and rice soup. Many times when Yang Haiyan ate wontons, the baby's head pressed against her wontons, perhaps because he smelled the meat and wanted to eat it too. When Yang Haiyan picked up the wontons, he would open his mouth to cooperate, and then...watch the wontons go into his mother's mouth.
He was not angry about this, but smiled vigorously. This kid has a really good personality. Not like Yang Haiyan, not like Qin Fang, and I don't know who he is like.
Tao Shan's investigation speed was much faster than Qin Shouye. He was originally from the military camp, unlike Qin Shouye. So the next day, in just one day, he investigated the Xu family thoroughly. After the investigation, he went to report to Qin Fang.
In the study, Tao Shan told Qin Fang all the identities of the Xu family found out within three generations. The reason why the investigation was so fast was mainly because the identity of the Xu family was really simple. They didn't know about their family before, but their ancestors within three generations were all from Yunxiang County. He had investigated the Xu family, even Xu's mother's family.
Qin Fang looked at Tao Shan's investigation: "So the Xu family's identity is clean?"
Tao Shan: "Yes, and the Xu family has a good reputation in the village. Xu's father and mother are hardworking and honest people, and Xu Feng's sister is also a filial girl."
Qin Fang nodded. In fact, this is the result of the transfer, and Qin Fang is not surprised. Because Xu Feng entered the capable army camp, it proves that his family has good conduct. When Qin Fang recruited soldiers, the selected soldiers had to go through an investigation. According to Yang Haiyan, it was a political investigation, and the family background was clear, so that he could use them with confidence.
Seeing that Qin Fang did not answer, Tao Shan asked: "General, will the second master marry Xu Feng's sister next?"
Qin Fang said: "Go and call Shouye."
Tao Shan: "Yes."
Qin Shouye had not been to the barracks for the past two days. He was embarrassed to face Xu Feng before the matter was resolved, so since he told Yang Haiyan about this matter, he has been waiting for the result in the general's mansion. Until Tao Shan came to call people, his heart was still pounding.
Coming to the study, looking at his elder brother with a stern face, Qin Shouye's face turned slightly pale: "Brother."
"Sit down." Qin Fang said, and motioned Tao Shan to go out.
Tao Shan retreated to the door.
There were only two brothers, Qin Fang and Qin Shouye, in the study. Qin Fang would not beat around the bush with his brothers, so he said directly: "How do you plan to deal with this matter? There are only two results, you and Xu Feng's sister Xu Lan get married, or you don't get married."
Qin Shouye himself didn't know, he asked: "Brother, what do you think I should do?"
Qin Fang said: "Everyone has different ideas. This is your own business. Don't let others make decisions about your own affairs, because others will not be responsible for your life." He and his brother have different personalities. If it were the old him, if something like this happened, he would most likely marry the other party. But now if something like this happens to him, naturally he will not marry the other party. So his answer cannot be used as a reference.
Qin Shouye said, "I... can I think about it?"
Qin Fang was about to answer when a voice came from outside: "General, Xu Feng wants to see the Second Master."
Qin Fang raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Shouye: "You go and meet him."
"Yes."
Qin Shouye received Xu Feng in his own yard. To be honest, he was a little embarrassed to see Xu Feng, but he couldn't avoid it. Seeing Xu Feng, he was about to speak when Xu Feng knelt down in front of him: "Shouye, Second Master Qin, please save my sister."
Qin Shouye was shocked and immediately helped Xu Feng up: "Xu Feng, what's going on? What happened to your sister?"
Xu Feng said: "Since that incident, everyone in the village has been spreading rumors about my sister. The people who originally had feelings for my sister have suddenly become silent. My sister has been crying all day long. I... I'm worried that something will happen to her if this continues. I... Shouye, I know that our family is not worthy of you, not worthy of the Qin family. We don't ask you to do anything, but only ask you to temporarily get engaged to my sister. After two years, when this incident is over, you can cancel the engagement. By then, no one will mention this matter again."
"This..." Qin Shouye thought for a moment, "I'll discuss it with my eldest brother."
Xu Feng nodded: "Okay."
Qin Shouye asked Xu Feng to wait for him here, and he went to find Qin Fang.
After hearing what Qin Shouye said, Qin Fang was silent for a while: "For the sake of the girl's reputation, I will follow her wishes first. I will discuss it with grandma later, and then send an official matchmaker to propose marriage."
Qin Shouye: "Thank you, brother. I am sorry for causing trouble for you."
Qin Fang: "We are brothers. There is no need to say these things."
After coming out of the study, Qin Fang went to find Yang Haiyan and told her what happened just now.
Qin Fang: "What do you think about the engagement?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Grandpa, grandma, father and mother are all here. It is not my turn to make the decision. You can ask grandma."
Qin Fang was stunned. He was a little surprised that his wife did not express her opinion. Seeing him like this, Yang Haiyan said again: "It is just an engagement, not a marriage."
Qin Fang: "Then you come with me."
Yang Haiyan said: "Okay."
Then they went to Liuxinyuan.
Grandma Qin was very happy to see her grandson and his wife coming, but she didn't see them coming with their great-grandson. She couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the little boy come? Is he sleeping?"
Yang Haiyan said, "No, grandma, my husband and I have something to discuss with you today."
When Grandma Qin heard this, she asked hurriedly, "What is it that you and your wife need to come together to discuss?" It seems that the matter is not simple.
Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan looked at each other, and then Yang Haiyan told the story of Qin Shouye: "...So, what the Xu family meant is that, for the sake of Miss Xu's reputation, the marriage between the two will be temporarily settled. After a year or two, if the two feel it is a good match, then they can get married. If not, then they can cancel the engagement. In this way, everyone will forget about Miss Xu's affairs. However, if the engagement is cancelled in the future, it can only be said to be a problem on Shouye's side, otherwise it will be difficult for the girl to get married again." And Qin Shouye is a man, and this world is too kind to men.
After listening, Grandma Qin finally understood: "So that's how it is. What if Shouye doesn't like him in the future, but the girl insists on marrying him?"
Qin Fang said, "We'll talk about it then. Right now the girl is troubled by rumors in the village, so let's arrange an engagement for them first."
Grandma Qin said, "Since you have no objections, I naturally have no objection."
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "Grandpa, grandma and parents are here. As long as you have no objections, we naturally have no objection. After all, this is Shouye's business. Although my husband is his elder brother, he will not interfere in his brother's private affairs." This is not a question of whether they have no opinions. Yang Haiyan feels that some things must be made clear, so as not to blame them in the future.
Grandma Qin smiled and said, "Yes, then arrange the engagement. Your mother is not here, do you want an old woman like me to go?"
Yang Haiyan said, "No need, just send a matchmaker. You have an imperial decree, and the Xu family is a commoner, how can they let you come to their house?" This is the difference between officials and ordinary people. "Please prepare what is needed for the engagement."
Grandma Qin thought for a moment and said, "Back then, Yanyan, you and Afang were arranged by the court, and there was no engagement. Later, when you got married, there was no betrothal gift. Logically, Shouye is the younger brother, and his marriage cannot bypass Afang, but your situations were different at the time. So I thought about it, and according to Shouye's marriage specifications, I arranged for someone from Baili Village to come. What do you think?"
