After Nao Nao dressed up, he went to the dining hall and found everyone waiting for him. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and went forward to apologize to the three elders.

Qin Xiaoxiao and others naturally didn't care about this and invited him to sit down and eat.

This was the first family reunion in three years. The kitchen tried its best to prepare a table full of delicious dishes, half of which were Nao Nao's favorite dishes.

There were also several pots of well-preserved wine on the table. He silently poured wine for his parents, grandmothers, and younger siblings without letting the maids do anything. However, everyone else filled their cups, and July and August only had a shallow bottom.

, which made the sisters very unhappy.

At this moment of family reunion, they felt that they could only express their joy at the return of their second brother without getting drunk. But who told them to be young? Adults are not allowed to drink on weekdays.

The reunion dinner lasted a full hour, and then the family moved to the main hall.

Qin Xiaoxiao sent away the two girls who were drinking and blushing, and then waved away the waiters. Then he got down to business with Nao Nao: "You will be nineteen in the new year. I want to call you back this time.

Make your marriage final."

Nao Nao nodded: "On the way back home, I mentioned it to me."

She silently stared at her brother in shock, never expecting that he would betray her as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although they clearly agreed not to mention it, can they still have some trust between the brothers?

Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at his eldest son, and made up his mind with a smile under his resentful gaze: "Your brother has no real identity and hangs around in front of me all the time, so I want to arrange a marriage for him so that he can find something to do.

Yes, I didn’t expect that he was thinking about you and insisted that you come back and say goodbye to him."

The corners of Naonao's lips curled up slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at his guilty and uneasy brother: "It turns out that I have been thinking about you all this time. I am so kind to my younger brother!"

Momo shuddered and looked at him flatteringly: "We are brothers. We share blessings and hardships together. Second brother doesn't have to be like this."

Listening to this pun, Nao Nao smiled and looked at her mother: "Mom, my brother and I have indeed reached the age to talk about getting married. We should obey my mother's wishes and finalize the marriage as soon as possible."

Although he feels that this incident is a bit sudden, he does not exclude getting married. He will get married sooner or later, so it is better to settle it early. He stays in Mobei all year round and cannot fulfill his filial piety in front of his parents. He can no longer worry about this matter.

.

Momo was dumbfounded, just like that?

Brother, don't you struggle a little? Are you just going to obey your mother's command, give up your free and beautiful time, and live a life of being bossed around?

Seeing that her youngest son did not object, Qin Xiaoxiao smiled happily: "Okay, okay, Mom knows some good girls, I will tell you about them tomorrow."

After saying that, she did not forget to glare at her eldest son: "Your brother has already nodded. If you dare to push away and run out again, don't come back again!"

Silently crying and looking at his grandmother as if asking for help.

Princess Protector said with a smile: "Listen to your mother, your mother has a good taste in people and will not force you to marry a girl you don't like."

Silently wailing, he looked at his father with the last glimmer of hope: "Dad, you and your mother are childhood sweethearts. We have been in love for more than ten years. Except for my two younger sisters, there is no girl who has the deepest love for me. Why don't you

Give me a chance and let me spend more than ten years looking for a girl who can get along with me, okay?"

After Jingheng heard this nonsense, he said without mercy: "No!"

Seeing his father's resolute attitude, the last light in Mo Mo's eyes disappeared, and he leaned back on the chair as helplessly as a salted fish.

Seeing him like this, the four people in the room couldn't help laughing.

Qin Xiaoxiao scolded: "Okay, okay, put away this pretentious look. I'm marrying you, not forcing you to become a monk."

Nao Nao muttered: "It is better to become a monk, at least it will be pure."

Qin Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear, and showed a loving motherly look to her youngest son: "I know you can't stay at home for too long. It happens that the day after tomorrow is your birthday in August, so my mother will use her name to hold a birthday banquet for those who are of the right age.

Girl, please come here, you and your brother will take a look first."

Nao Nao thought this arrangement was good, so he agreed.

The younger brothers all agreed. Momo couldn't find an excuse to make a fuss, so he had no choice but to accept it. He made up his mind to go through the motions the day after tomorrow, and then just say that none of them were interested.

Fourteen is a birthday, so it's not something to make a big deal about. Usually it's just a celebration for the family. This time, if you want to use the name of August to hold a birthday party, you can't do it hastily.

As a result, July was somewhat aggrieved. The sisters were not born on the same day, so without a birthday party, they would not receive blessings from others.

Qi Qi didn't care about this at all, but was very interested in the girls from various families who were invited, because these girls were likely to become her sisters-in-law.

With such curiosity, after washing up at night, she wandered into her sister's room, got under the quilt and whispered to her: "Little sister, what kind of person do you want our future elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to be?"

August said: "It depends on what kind of girl the eldest brother and the second brother like. My thoughts are not important."

Qi Qi disagreed: "You can't say that. What if the eldest brother and the second brother have bad eyesight, marry a girl who is not easy to get along with, have conflicts with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or have conflicts with our sister-in-law? Isn't this the case in Wenying's family?"

What she calls Wenying's friend is that her sister-in-law came into the house two years ago, and the harmonious family became less harmonious. It's not that her sister-in-law is bad or has bad intentions, it's that her sister-in-law is sensitive and often does things for others inadvertently.

A word or a small action makes you think more.

It's too tiring to get along with such a person, and Wenying has a careless temperament, and is not thoughtful enough in words and deeds. For this reason, her sister-in-law thinks that Wenying doesn't respect her enough, and she doesn't like her from the bottom of her heart.

At the beginning, Wenying was tolerant and cautious in front of her sister-in-law, lest she say the wrong thing and make her unhappy. But as time went by, everyone would get tired. Eventually, she became full of opinions about her sister-in-law and was unwilling to talk to her sister-in-law.

.

Such a vicious cycle makes the relationship between aunt and sister worse and worse, and also involves Wenying's mother. Now as long as the aunt and sister-in-law are in love, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will also be in conflict, and then conflicts between brother and sister, mother and son, and husband and wife will follow one after another.

It made the whole family restless.

August frowned and said hesitantly: "Probably not... With mother and grandmother taking care of things, the future sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will definitely be knowledgeable and reasonable people, and will not make everyone unhappy over trivial matters."

Qi Qi said worriedly: "It's hard to say. Everyone has different ideas. It's normal to have conflicts. It would be strange if there are no conflicts over time. Alas, I don't want to see our family become like Wenying's family, fighting each other all day long.

"

It’s not surprising that she was worried. The Princess Protector’s house was a simple one, and there were no concubines or concubines in the same room. Jingheng and Qin Xiaoxiao had a deep relationship and almost never made a fuss; the brothers and sisters were from the same mother, and they had never been harmonious since childhood.

There have been awkward moments.

Such a harmonious family is rare in the entire capital. It is no exaggeration to say that the women in the back house envied Qin Xiaoxiao for being the sole favored by her husband, while their children envied Momo and other brothers and sisters who were not born as concubines to compete for their favor.

Feeling uncomfortable.

Growing up in such a warm and harmonious environment, I had never encountered any family fights in July, so I was very worried that my future sister-in-law would be unfavorable and the family would be in a mess.

"Third sister, there's no trace of you, so don't think about it." August looked at her sensitive sister and tried to comfort her: "With mother and grandmother here, they will definitely find a good girl for the eldest brother and the second brother. Even if it's just a short time.

It's a mistake. With the methods my mother and grandmother use, they can't get away with it."

Qi Qi thought about it for a while and felt that what the younger sister said made sense: "Well, you are right. As long as we don't cause trouble, we will be responsible and my mother and grandmother will not wrong us."

August smiled and said, "Isn't that right? With mother and grandmother supporting us, let's just keep doing what we did before."

Qi Qi felt relieved, hugged her little sister's arm and thought: "When I marry in the future, it's best to marry into a family like ours."

August joked: "Third sister is not ashamed, she wants to get married now."

Qi Qiu pushed her: "Go, go, get married sooner or later, isn't it? If I don't want to, can I not get married?"

As she said that, she sighed: "I really don't want to get married. Isn't it better to just be a girl in front of my parents for the rest of my life?"

August was silent. Who wouldn’t want to stay with someone like me for the rest of their lives?

Regardless of what the sisters were thinking, the birthday banquet came as scheduled. The girls who received the post dressed up carefully and came to the banquet in their most beautiful postures.

Qin Xiaoxiao did not send out many invitations, only seven or eight. Everyone who received the invitation also knew what this birthday banquet meant, and they all had their daughters attend the banquet with full expectations.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't pay much attention to family background. The girls who received the invitations included daughters from the prince's family and the legitimate daughters of sixth-rank officials. What she valued was the character of these girls, and she understood them carefully before sending the invitations.

In the garden, while July and August entertained the guests enthusiastically, they also secretly paid attention to their words and deeds, wondering who would become their sister-in-law.

These girls are well-educated, and their words and deeds are not bad at all. Even if they know that the people who come with them are competitors, they can still laugh and share their knowledge with each other. What they want is that even if they cannot become the daughter-in-law of the princess, they can make friends with them today.

A few friends also made this trip in vain.

Next to the waterside pavilion separated by a wall from the garden, Silence and Noisy sat opposite each other, and they could clearly hear the laughter coming from next door.

Mo Mo glanced at his indifferent younger brother and couldn't help but ask: "I've been listening to you for so long, but is there any girl who impressed you?"

Nao Nao stared at the chessboard, picked up a black stone and dropped it: "What other evil ideas are you planning?"

Momo denied it: "No, absolutely not this time, am I such a person!"

Nao Nao raised his eyebrows, raised his head and asked, "Isn't it?"
