You fell off the horse just now

In the carriage, Xi Bohou asked, "Can't you bear it?"

Wu Sicai looked at her father blankly.

"Ok?"

Xi Bohou blew his beard and snorted, "How dare you say that you never saw Fang Fei when you went out?"

Pointing at Wu Sicai, he sighed helplessly: "Look, two flowers have bloomed on your face!"

Wu Sicai was stunned for a while before realizing the meaning of her father's words, and blushed slightly.

Xi Bohou was naturally teasing Wu Sicai, seeing Wu Sicai's shy appearance, he couldn't help feeling in his heart, he was really young, especially when he was just in love, he couldn't be separated for even a moment.

"This marriage has been settled, but there are still a lot of complicated things that need to be prepared. Fortunately, this marriage is scheduled for a year later, and there is plenty of time. By then, it will not be a problem for you to get married in a good way. It is the matter of getting married that needs to be prepared." ..."

"what?!"

Wu Sicai's sudden scream made Xi Bohou startled.

"Okay, what are you shouting about!"

Xi Bohou glared at Wu Sicai, while following his own heart, how could his old bones withstand this shock.

"Father, why is the marriage scheduled for a year later?!"

Wu Sicai almost grabbed her father's neck and questioned her. He had clearly agreed to get married as soon as possible, and a year later... Who knows what will happen in a year.

Xi Bohou glared at Wu Sicai, and then slowly said: "What can I do? Mrs. Jin only has this only daughter, and it is natural for her to stay by her side and raise her for a while, can I refuse? Do you think it's a simple thing after you've made an appointment? We're being impolite when we come here today, but the real marriage discussion is much more complicated than it is now. Mrs. Jin naturally wants Fang Fei to marry more decently, so there's nothing wrong with being more cautious."

Wu Sicai frowned and sighed: "Then what should I do?"

One year, that would be countless days and nights. If Mrs. Jin found out about something accidentally, she could not guarantee that Mrs. Jin would be able to betroth Fang Fei to her if she knew the truth.

Xibohou gave a "tsk", "We're all set, how can people run away?!"

"Besides, you just decided to take the imperial examination. This year is just the time for you to study hard on your homework. Wouldn't it be more honorable to get married after a year in high school?"

In fact, Xibohou has another consideration, "Besides, I know that Fang Fei has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her learning is different from ordinary women, but since she is married and a woman, daily communication is inevitable. day to learn about common affairs."

Wu Sicai snorted, "We can learn these things in our house."

Xibohou laughed when he heard the words, "Aren't I afraid that your mother will be tired?"

Wu Sicai said angrily: "Then you are not afraid of losing my wife?!"

Xi Bohou felt puzzled, "This marriage is considered settled, I also got the Geng Tie, unless it is extremely important, we can break up wherever we can."

Wu Sicai choked, unable to say anything to refute.

How could she say that she was worried about her identity being exposed.

Xi Bohou didn't think much about it, he just thought that she was anxious to marry a charming girl, and persuaded her: "One year is not long, and it will pass in a blink of an eye. Besides, you have to study hard. It may be difficult for you to marry a wife at this time." Take it easy."

Wu Sicai turned his head away from looking at Xi Bohou, playing with his childish temper.

"Hey, don't you look at Mrs. Jin, she clearly despises you for being unrefined, and you are a white body. Waiting for you to marry Fang Fei after you have achieved success in high school, won't it make your in-laws change their opinion of you?"

Wu Sicai naturally understood what Xi Bohou said, but in the final analysis, how could he feel at ease with something on his mind.

But now that Mrs. Jin wants to keep her daughter by her side for a while, she can't force others to do her best, not to mention that there is really no rush to prepare for the marriage.

Wu Sicai heaved a long sigh, Xi Bohou was quite relieved to see that she understood, this child has grown a lot after going through a lot.

"I'm really surprised that you are willing to take the imperial examination this time, but I'm very pleased that you think so. I will let you learn from Mr. Li in a few days, and you will definitely get a good result next year!"

Wu Sicai nodded, "I can't guarantee high school, but I will do my best to try."

Xibohou sighed: "I can rest assured that you will hand over the Xibohou Mansion to you in the future. If you earnestly pass the examination for fame, can the outside affairs be arranged?"

Only then did Wu Si realize that he was referring to business matters, thinking that he still disagreed as before, her face darkened, but she didn't intend to lie.

"That was also my painstaking effort. Let them deal with it on the bright side. I still can't let go of big things."

Surprisingly, Xi Bohou was not as angry as before when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said: "I heard that you have a lot of connections, and you can't forget your father even if you earn a lot of money. In this way, I will ask the housekeeper to take care of our house. I will hand over the several villages and shops on the Internet to you, and you will also use them to revitalize them and earn some private property for me."

Wu Sicai didn't answer, she was very confused today.

It took a long time to hear Wu Sicai asking in a daze, "Father, are you still my father?"

Xi Bohou was angry, "You still don't recognize your father?!"

Wu Sicai suddenly said: "Aren't you a little abnormal today, you even agreed to Mrs. Jin's request not to take concubines.

Aren't you afraid that grandma will be angry when she hears this?Our family is a single heir for three generations, and what grandma cares about most is incense. You promised that no matter what the circumstances were, you would not allow me to take a concubine. "

"Besides, don't you care too?"

Xi Bohou looked at her with eyes that you have never seen before, "People's hearts are fleshy, which mother does not expect her daughter to live a comfortable life in the future, it is normal for Mrs. Jin to have such a request. You Grandma won't care about it after a long time, not to mention that she is very rare, and sooner or later she will see clearly."

"and you?"

Wu Sicai faintly felt that she had misunderstood something before.

This is probably the long-standing knot between the father and daughter, and it is also a thorn in Wu Sicai's heart, a thorn that makes her unable to feel safe.

Xibohou smiled at first, and then said: "If you ask, I will answer you honestly today as a father. I may have considered the issue of incense earlier, but after your eldest sister and second sister were born, I slowly stopped thinking about it. Thinking about it, especially when I see your mother crying and worrying alone, I understand a truth."

"Everything in this world can only be gained if you give up."

"Between husband and wife, if I really take a concubine for the sake of an heir, it will definitely hurt your mother's heart and cause the two of us to lose our old friendship. So, before you were born, I had already lost that thought. , but after you were born, your mother did feel much more relaxed. After all, your grandmother is the elder, and we can't argue with her too much. Since I have experienced such a struggle, I naturally don't want you to experience it again. If it doesn’t work, just adopt one from a side branch.”

Wu Si just sniffed.

Only then did Xi Bohou notice that Wu Sicai's eyes were slightly red.

"In the past, I was always talking and talking, but I didn't see you being moved at all. Today, it's a good day, but my eyes are red."

Xibohou sighed in his heart, this child is a bit more delicate.

Wu Sicai was a little shy, she always thought that she was both hope and a dark secret for the entire Xibohou Mansion, but now she realized that maybe her status was a kind of luck for her parents.

She stubbornly said: "I was blinded by the wind and sand."

Xi Bohou glanced at the tightly covered carriage, but did not expose her.

"There is one thing I have to tell you. Mrs. Jin hopes that Fangfei can get married from Mangzhou. So you have to take good care of yourself at that time. Don't pick up your relatives from Mangzhou and return to Beijing. You will be tired. Don't even get married. No."

When it came to the end, Xi Bohou couldn't help laughing out loud, Wu Sicai had never been out of the capital, and he had to suffer a lot after traveling and traveling.

Wu Sicai's originally red eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Father, you didn't mean to agree to Mrs. Jin's request, did you?"

Picking up the bride from Mangzhou was not an obvious way to torment her, but her father actually agreed!

Xibohou couldn't help laughing, "How can you do it on purpose as a father? It's not to show the sincerity of our family. Naturally, it's what we ask for."

Wu Sicai held back her mouth, with an angry expression on her face.

On the other hand, Xi Bohou felt that Wu Sicai was very cute today, and finally he was childish again like when he was just born, so he couldn't help but want to tease her, and asked deliberately: "Why, you don't want to marry a wife?"

Wu Sicai was so angry that her head was on fire, and she glared at her father angrily.

"It's okay if you don't want to marry, I'll go back and return the Geng post, and get back the engagement gift."

Xi Bohou said that he wanted to turn the green bamboo shoots outside, Wu Sicai hurriedly pulled it, and said anxiously: "What's the matter with you?!"

"Then to marry or not to marry?"

Wu Sicai became angry from embarrassment, turned his head and said, "Marry!"

"The Geng Tie will be withdrawn or not?"

"No retreat!"

Xi Bohou finally laughed out loud.

Wu Sicai sat down on the floor of the carriage, and was so angry that he let out his trump card, "When I go back, I will tell mother that you deliberately tormented me just to tease me, and you didn't care about my weakness!"

Xi Bohou snorted, "You little bastard!"

"No matter big or small, whether there is any age and humility!"

Madam has always cherished Wu Sicai the youngest son the most, even he can't touch Wu Sicai easily.He is also a person who has always cherished his wife and would never dare to confront her.

Wu Sicai grasped this point and was confident.

"How, Dad?"

Xibohou thought to himself why he gave birth to such a wimpy cub, and threatened his father, saying that he took him off the marriage because of his good words before, but now he is just teasing a few words, and he wants to go back Complain to Mrs.It's really against the law, too much!

But Xibohou's weakness is really hard to deal with once he grasps it accurately.

Xibohou said angrily: "Forget it, I will give you a Zhuangzi from my private house, is it over?"

Wu Sicai's eyes lit up, his father's private house is a good thing, especially the Zhuangzi under his name, who doesn't have a beautiful environment and is suitable for recuperation.

"It's just right, then I will give it to Fang Fei at that time, so that she can go hunting and relax on weekdays."

Xi Bohou silently glanced at Wu Sicai, look, he doesn't believe that this little bastard will be better than him in the future, and he is also afraid of guilt.
