How to catch the best husband [MTL] ✔

Chapter 3: Grandmother

In the main hall, the house is warm.

A graceful old woman was sitting in the hall, and several maids and women stood quietly aside. At her feet, a fat white doll sat on the blanket, drooling and holding the cloth tiger foolishly.

Old lady Xu watched the beautiful girl come in wearing thin clothes and a gust of wind. She hurriedly stood up: "Bamboo shadow, wrap my cloak around Miss Biao! It's cold outside, you child!"

 Xu's footsteps hurried in: "Chen Xi, look at you, but you look like a young lady! Don't get close to your brother, the child can't stand the cold."

There was a rush in the room. Chen Xi wrapped himself in a thick rabbit fur coat. There were little servant girls bringing hot tea. She stared at her grandmother's kind eyebrows. Her eyes were hot and her nose was sour.

My grandmother loved me most since I was a child. When I was young and weak, my grandmother took me to my uncle Jiangzhou's house for some time. The uncle's family were excellent to herself. She was very skinny at that time and was very happy to bully several children of the uncle's family. Now, those days are too far away.

"Brother Huan ~" Chen Xi liked this white and fat cousin very much. She sat by the woolen blanket and shook his little hand: "Call sister."

"Ji, Ji." Brother Huan shouted vaguely, his big round eyes bent into crescent moon, which was very pleasant. Such a good child.

Chen Xi recalled that the last time she saw him in the last life, it was the celebration banquet that Xue Li took her to Jixu Zhongju.

At that time, she was not ill and had some use value. Xue Li would take her for entertainment.

At that time, hengge'er had the appearance of a stable young man. The young man was tall and straight, energetic and smiling.

"Cousin, don't worry." The young man's clear voice is especially in his ears.

Later, I only heard that he had gone to join the army, and there was no more information.

Swallowing the astringency in his throat, Chen Xi picked up brother Huan and teased him. The nannies next to him were waiting with their hearts in their hands. They only heard the laughter of their sisters and brothers in the room.

Old lady Xu smiled and looked at the sisters and brothers who were playing together. She turned to look at Xu: "I thought, while Xi's sister is still young, take her to live with me for a while. When the child is old, it will be difficult to go out again."

Xu was a little embarrassed: "Mom, sister Xi doesn't have everything yet. I'm afraid if I'm tired again..."

Mrs. Xu glanced at the children who were playing vigorously: "Your father's 50th birthday will be in half a month. Your academy can't put it here. Just this time I came to take the children. Your father doesn't say it, but he loves this granddaughter most."

Xu's words stopped: "Niang..."

"Originally, I didn't support your distant marriage. Now that your husband and wife are playing harmoniously, I have nothing to say. However, many people come to celebrate your father's birthday this time. I heard that the younger generation of the Ji family and the Deng family will come."

Old lady Xu lowered her voice and looked at Xu meaningfully: "Sister Xi, in the blink of an eye, she will be big. As a mother, you should always think about the long term."

Although Chen Xi teased her brother, she always paid attention to this side. She looked at her mother thoughtfully. It turned out that her grandmother had the idea of marrying herself to the Ji family or the Deng family.

The Deng family is my aunt's family, while the Ji family is my aunt's husband's family. It's no wonder that they are all relatives and know their roots. Chen Xi bowed his head and meditated.

In terms of these two families, the Ji family originally came from a peasant family, but there are two scholars in the family. His little uncle is also a teacher. He can barely be called a scholarly family, and is also a match with the Chen family. But as far as she knows, the Ji family doesn't have a brother of the right age. Should we look for him from the relatives of the Ji family?

The Deng family, a family of merchants, is rich, but its reputation and status are not so good.

In the last life, I didn't seem to go to my uncle's house with my grandmother, nor did I have anything to do with the two families. Since you want to get rid of Xue Li in this world, you should create more opportunities to contact other men and strive to find the right husband for yourself.

Chen Xi secretly made up her mind and called the servant girl to take care of brother Heng. She got up and walked quickly. She rushed to her mother's arms and said in a slightly rusty way: "Mom, I feel much better. Just let me go ~ I think my grandfather and aunt."

Xu looked at someone twisted into a twist in his arms and sighed helplessly.

Chen Jue lies in her mother's arms, holding back her maladjustment in her heart, and her eyes are full of helplessness.

Although he is now a ten year old child, she is still the 35 year old housewife. He is really not used to playing coquettish with his mother.

But Chen Xi knows that this is a necessary skill to deal with a soft hearted mother. As for father, let mother solve it.

Late at night. Xu pushed the door into the study of Chen Shouren, the owner of the Chen family. There was a candle shadow in the room. The thin man buried his head in the book and constantly annotated something.

Xu put the chicken soup on the small table next to the desk. He didn't speak, but waited for the man.

For a long time, Chen Shouren stopped writing and looked up. He found his wife on one side. He quickly stood up and said, "Why are you here? Didn't he let you sleep first?"

Xu opened the still warm cup cover and said with a gentle smile, "I know you work hard. I'll send you some snacks. Come and drink before you write."

Chen Shouren went to his wife and took the chicken soup: "I heard that my mother-in-law came today. I had a lot of things in the Academy, and I didn't have time to salute her."

"It's no problem. The Xu family doesn't have so many rules. She's going back tomorrow." Xu added, "As I told you before, my father's 50th birthday is in half a month. My mother said, take Xi'er to Jiangzhou for a few days, and we'll pick her up when we go to Jiangzhou."

Chen Shouren answered vaguely with chicken soup: "Since she wants to go, she can go. I'm not free here. She's been detained at home for too long because of her illness this time."

Xu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Listen to my mother's meaning, it seems that I want to see if there is a suitable object among the Xu's in laws."

Chen Shouren put down his bowl and took the handkerchief handed over by Xu: "The in laws of your mother's family are still reluctantly in the Ji family, the Deng family, hum."

He didn't say much, but Xu also knew his husband's ideas very well. As a scholar, he always looked down on businessmen from the bottom of his heart.

Xu's family also came from a merchant, although her husband never showed disdain and contempt in front of her mother's family. But listening to him, Xu still felt a little uncomfortable.

Xu packed up his things. As soon as he got up, he heard Chen Shouren say, "Let mother-in-law not think too far. It's still early for Xi'er."

He thought and said, "Don't worry, I'll take Xi'er's matter to heart."

Xu didn't reply. When did he finish what he cared about? Three reminders and four invitations will start. When he does it, sister Xi has become an old girl.

Xu thought of what old lady Xu had just said. Yes, sister Xi grew older in the blink of an eye.
