Hu Qingqing is already seventeen years old, and Qin Guihua's hair is almost turning gray because of her marriage.

Not long after Qin Xiaoxiao returned to Beijing last time, a matchmaker came to talk to him about a match. When he heard that the other party was the nephew of the newly arrived county magistrate, Hu Bian and others were all excited, thinking that the smoke was finally rising from their ancestral tombs and that they were about to leave.

She is an official's wife.

Fortunately, Hu Qingqing had a clear mind and stabilized herself in time, insisting on finding out the details of the other party before making a decision, otherwise Hu Bian and the others would have agreed to the marriage on the spot.

Afterwards, the Hu family made a secret investigation and found that the nephew of the county magistrate was indeed as talented as the matchmaker said. He was knowledgeable and motivated and worked for the county magistrate. They thought the marriage could be done and expressed their intention to the matchmaker.

If nothing else goes wrong, it won't be long before the two families choose an auspicious day to officially get engaged.

"I heard that County Magistrate Wang was born in Juren, and his hometown was somewhere else. He was lucky enough to fill the vacancy of the chief register a few years ago, and he was transferred to our Le'an county later that year. He didn't have much to rely on in his family, but compared to

Your sister-in-law's house is much better. They sent a matchmaker to arrange a marriage between their nephew and Qingqing, I'm afraid it's because of your relationship."

Lin Qiuniang had doubts in her heart. She felt that the Wang family had ulterior motives for marrying the Hu family, and was worried that they would cause trouble to her daughter in the future.

"Mom, as long as Mr. Wang has a decent character and sincerely wants to live with Sister Qingqing, it doesn't matter whether our relationship is with me or not." Qin Xiaoxiao was more open-minded than her mother and didn't think this was a big deal.

The Wang family and the Hu family got married not necessarily because they wanted to gain access to the Princess Mansion and the Marquis Mansion, but perhaps because they wanted to find a backer to make their career smoother.

"We know people but don't know their hearts. We don't know whether they are sincere or not. Just looking at your little aunt's eager look, she is very satisfied with this marriage." Seeing that her daughter didn't care, Lin Qiuniang didn't do anything more about this matter.

I’m confused, I just feel that the Hu family is not cautious enough.

"Where's Sister Qingqing? Has she ever met Mr. Wang? What does she think about this marriage?" What Qin Xiaoxiao is most concerned about is Hu Qingqing's attitude. The Hu family is fascinated by the Wang family's family background, so it is not a good idea to force her to agree.

impossible.

"It doesn't look like she's very happy. I want you to help me control the eyes." Lin Qiuniang wiped the stove and couldn't help but sigh: "She's getting old, and she will become an old girl if she keeps it up. If she doesn't nod to the Wang family's marriage,

, I’m afraid no one will be willing to kiss her in the future.”

Everyone can see that this girl is a high-profile match for the young master of the Wang family. There is a good-looking and unmarried man from the young master Wang's family in Le'an, and even one slap can't be found.

Qingqing couldn't even look down on such a person. Others would always say that her eyes were on the top of her head. Who would go through such a thankless job to propose marriage to her? She would not be considered as someone who looked down upon her.

"It's time to palm the eyes. Sister Qingqing really can't afford to delay at this age." Qin Xiaoxiao was very sad about the marriage and decided to go to the Hu family to find Hu Qingqing tomorrow and find an opportunity to go to the city to see the prince.

I have some connections in the city, so it's not difficult to find out.

The mother and daughter talked about other things, and while chatting, they talked about Qin Taohua's family.

Last time, Zhao Jinjin and the Hong family went to the capital to see the imperial doctor through Qin Xiaoxiao's relationship, and it was determined that the problem of infertility was Zhao Jinjin.

As soon as the couple returned home, they told Qin Taohua and Zhao Dazhu about the result.

The couple, who had always thought that the problem lay with their daughter-in-law, were devastated and refused to accept the fact. They believed that Zhao Jinjin was reluctant to divorce his daughter-in-law and deliberately colluded with the Hong family to fool them.

They finally accepted the reality. They were afraid of outsiders making fun of them and did not allow the young couple to spread the word. However, the fire could not be contained. Zhao Jinjin drank medicine three times a day. If you got closer, you could smell the medicine on his body. You can think of it with just a little guess.

.

These days, there have been a lot of rumors saying that the Zhao family is about to be cut off. Some people even gave Qin Taohua a bad idea, asking the Hong family to "borrow seeds" from other rooms in the Zhao family. Qin Taohua was so angry that she even picked up a kitchen knife.

People were kicked out.

This is not the end of the story. Hong's parents want to take Hong back to their parents' home. They claim that the Zhao family poured dirty water on their daughter in order to give birth to a child, which made her suffer all the grievances.

Now it is Zhao Jinjin's health that causes their daughter to have no children. They have to find a healthy husband for their daughter to avoid staying in the Zhao family and ending up with no one to take care of her.

Qin Taohua and his wife were very anxious and angry. They kept apologizing and saying good things to the Hong family and the Hong family, and carefully coaxed the Hong family, fearing that she would be persuaded to abandon their son and marry someone else.

All in all, these things had been going on for quite a while, and they only calmed down a few days ago.

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao secretly applauded the two elders of the Hong family who were protecting her daughter: "This is called the change of fortune. My eldest aunt really needs to learn a lesson. She likes to interfere in the affairs between her cousin and her cousin too much. My cousin married her cousin."

Brother, I have been wronged by her a lot over the years."

"You can't say that. Apart from being a bit annoying with your mouth, your aunt has never treated your cousin-in-law harshly. If someone else's daughter-in-law had not been able to have children for several years, she might have been kicked back to her parents' family long ago."

Lin Qiuniang spoke for Qin Taohua, but she was also happy for Hong: "Your cousin-in-law is a nice person and gets along well with us relatives. If she really returns to her parents' home, it will be difficult for your cousin to find such a good wife."

Qin Xiaoxiao agreed with this and couldn't help but say: "After my cousin and cousin went through this, I think our relationship will be better. Once my cousin's illness is cured and my cousin and I have two more children, their family will be happy."

It’s really lively.”

Lin Qiuniang nodded and said with emotion: "Who says it's not the case? These days, your second aunt has been clamoring for a wife for your second brother and wants to have a grandson as soon as possible. Not to mention her, your father and I also want it, and your father

I also want to see my great-grandson as soon as possible."

The reason why Dabao is not mentioned is that Dabao runs away all the year round and has not been seen for several months. She has no way to show her love to Dabao, so she can only shift the focus of getting a wife to Erbao.

Erbao has been unable to pass the college examination. Next February will be his last time to take part. If he still fails to win the scholarship, he will have to come back from school. From now on, he will either find a job in the city or buy a lot of land to make a living without food and clothing.

A worried little landowner.

Qin Xiaoxiao was afraid that her mother would give birth, so she quickly said, "It's okay, Sister Xueya will give birth in a few months, and you will have children to play with then!"

Lin Qiuniang glanced at her and began to teach her a lesson: "If you were willing to obey, I'm afraid you would be pregnant by now, and I wouldn't need to covet Xueya's child!"

Qin Xiaoxiao coaxed: "Mom, didn't we agree that I will definitely give birth in two years, but I really don't have the energy now."

After that, she told Lin Qiuniang about the things she had bought on the hillside to plant jujube trees, tea trees, mulberry trees and raise silkworms a while ago, making Lin Qiuniang believe that she was really busy in the future and could not even take care of conceiving and giving birth to a child.

"Okay, okay, okay, you are the one who wants to do big things. Mom has nothing to do with you!" Lin Qiuniang didn't object to her daughter doing these things. After all, she didn't just idle around like a worm, so she complained and stopped mentioning having children.

thing.

In the evening, Jing Que cooked a sumptuous dinner. In addition to the fresh fruits and vegetables from Qin's garden, there were also chubby rabbits in his mouth. Qin Xiaoxiao fished in the lake, and the family was extremely satisfied.

Dahuang and Bieme were detained in the capital for more than a month. As soon as they returned to the village, they spread out and wandered to nowhere. At meal time, they returned home covered in mud, which made Qin Xiaoxiao feel disgusted. They took advantage of the dark weather

Wei Hei took them to Qinghu Lake to wash them clean.

When she came back, the sky had darkened. Qin Xiaoxiao stopped by Xue Ya's house. When she arrived, she was enjoying the cool air in the yard and An An was washing dishes in the kitchen.

"I came back in the evening and heard that you were back. I was thinking of going to see you tomorrow morning, but you came here first." After Xueya recognized Qin Xiaoxiao, she patted the chair next to An An and asked her to sit on it.

Came over.

"How have you been lately? I see that you have gained a lot of weight." Qin Xiaoxiao pinched Xue Ya's round face and found that it felt particularly good, so she pinched it twice more.

"You can do it. Don't think that you can do whatever you want when I have a big belly." Xueya slapped her paw and said angrily: "You will gain weight just by eating. If you get pregnant in the future, you can have me."

You can have fun with this figure."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care at all: "It's okay, I can eat whatever I want when the time comes, and no one will say I'm greedy if I gain weight."

The corner of Xue Ya's mouth twitched, feeling that this guy was hopeless, and even the shadowless child had figured out how to use it.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care what she thought and mentioned the purchase of Shantou to her.

"My body is inconvenient, so you can make the final decision on those matters." Xueya trusted her, otherwise she wouldn't have spent all the money.

"Well, I'm really too busy on my own. Once you give birth to the baby, I'll be able to relax a little bit."

Qin Xiaoxiao gently stroked her swollen belly, and suddenly felt a push on her palm. Her whole body froze instantly, and her eyes were rounder than cat eyes: "It, it, it, it's moving!"

Xueya rolled her eyes at her: "It's been almost six months, of course it can move."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know there was such a thing as fetal movement, so she leaned forward to observe closely, and touched her belly with her paws: "Hey, why aren't you moving again?"

Xue Ya said speechlessly: "Don't you think it's tired when it moves?"

Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, staring at her belly and coaxing: "My dear nephew, don't be lazy, please move again."

I don’t know if the baby thought she was noisy, but she moved again.

"Oh, the little guy is so funny!" Qin Xiaoxiao found new fun and laughed like a child. However, she was worried that the baby would be tired and did not dare to tease it all the time.

Seeing her look like this, Xue Ya couldn't help but smile: "When you have a child in the future, you can play with it like this for a few months."

Qin Xiaoxiao said curiously: "I wonder what it looks like now, whether it can hear us talking, and whether it is afraid of the dark inside."

This time Xueya didn't mind her verbosity and said seriously: "You should be able to hear it. I was playing at Uncle Genzi's house a few days ago and the door panel of his house fell down. The sound was very loud. It twitched in my stomach.

He must have been scared."

Qin Xiaoxiao clicked his tongue, feeling that life was more and more magical: "Then you should be careful, the little guy is timid, so don't make any noise, so as not to scare it."

Xueya rolled her eyes at her again, not bothering to pay attention to her nonsense.

The next day, Qin Xiaoxiao took Mingyue to Hu's house.

The Hu family went to work in the fields, and only Hu Qingqing stayed at home to do some housework. This was not due to the conscience of Hu Biantou and others, who were reluctant to let her bask in the sun, but because they were afraid that she would tan and become ugly, and be disliked by the young master of the Wang family.

Hu Qingqing was extremely happy to see Qin Xiaoxiao. The two sisters chatted eagerly for a while, and then they talked about her marriage to the Wang family.

"Xiaoxiao, I don't really want to agree, but I can't win over my mother." Hu Qingqing's mood dropped, and she confessed her thoughts to Qin Xiaoxiao: "The Wang family's family background is much better than mine, and they asked the matchmaker to come and marry them.

, I only care about you and my third uncle."

Qin Xiaoxiao advised: "Don't think so. That prince has no fame and is just a commoner. Since he also relies on his own uncle, why can't you rely on your third uncle and me? In this family world, you guys

The difference is not big.”

When Hu Qingqing heard this, she was surprised and said: "Xiaoxiao, you, don't you mind?"

Qin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "What do I mind? It's not a bad thing for you to ask for something from the Wang family. What I care about is the temperament of Young Master Wang and whether he can really live with you."

Hu Qingqing was so moved that she didn't know what to do, and expressed her inner worries: "I'm worried that after we get married, the Wang family will climb up the pole and cause trouble to you or your third uncle."

Qin Xiaoxiao shook his head: "If they are really capable, it doesn't matter if you give them a hand in the future; if they are whimsical, just ignore them, and they won't dare to vent their anger on you. It all depends on how the prince is a person, and what he deserves."
