The author has something to say:

Everyone who reads the text, remember to bookmark and comment! ! !You must know that collecting and commenting are the driving force behind Liumu's writing. If no one supports it, writing will feel very boring... This matter has come to an end, and Wangfu has returned to its usual normal state. Housekeeper on behalf of Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao is still ill, and the servants behave well under Wang Xifeng's despotic power...

However, the peaceful days will always pass, and the ups and downs are the normal state of life.

It was winter, and there was a loud thunder in the palace: a matchmaker came to propose marriage to Wang Xifeng, and the object of the proposal was the number one legend in the capital——Xu Yezhi.

Speaking of Xu Yezhi, he fully deserves the title of No. [-] Legend of the Capital.

Xu Ye's ancestors were also good ministers and fierce generals who fought against the world at will. Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Xiliang Kingdom, the Xu family also won a five-generation hereditary title of Marquis due to meritorious deeds. However, compared to the Jia family, the Xu family is not Fortunately, most of the ancestors of the Xu family didn't live long, so when the Jia family was holding on to the last generation of titles, the Xu family's five generations of hereditary titles had already been exhausted from Xu Ye's father's generation.

Xu Yezhi's father, Xu Zhongjie, is not an ordinary person either. Although the family's title is gone, relying on the family's intricate network of relationships in the capital for many years, and relying on his own conditions of being brave and wise, he was born at the age of [-]. In the imperial court, he took up the official position of a first-rank hussar general.

The high-spirited spirit of their family is exactly the opposite of that of the Jia family. At this time, the Jia family is either reciting poems and composing fuss, or intrigues, so there is no high-spirited spirit.

In fact, from an objective point of view, the circumstances of the two families are similar, but the Xu family broke through the cocoon that imprisoned themselves and walked uphill all the way, while the Jia family was a silkworm that stood still and kept going. It's just going downhill.The Xu family is a tree with a second spring, while the Jia family is a dying old man waiting to die.

Not to mention these, just Xu Yezhi.

With a wise father like Xu Zhongjie, Xu Yezhi is destined not to be a mediocrity.At the age of 15, he had already won the first prize in the martial arts examination. When he followed his father Xu Zhongjie to the battlefield, he was able to command a team of 5000 people.He even acted as a forward during the raid on Fanbang in the northwest.Xu Yezhi on the battlefield was not only brave, but also resourceful, flexible and changeable in tactics and tactics. He was really treacherous and cunning, which made the Northwest nations frightened.

When the army returned in triumph, there were rumors that Xu Yezhi was a once-in-a-century handsome talent in the Xiliang Kingdom, and his military achievements must be even better than his father's.

Such an evaluation is so glorious for a person who is only 20 years old. However, even with such a high evaluation, it still cannot stop Xu Yezhi's determination to abandon martial arts and follow literature.

Yes, the once-in-a-hundred-year Shuaicai abandons martial arts and follows literature! !

This news was undoubtedly a thunderbolt in the capital at that time, not only made the common people dizzy, but even the nobles and the emperor in the court sighed with regret.

However, everyone has their own ambitions, and Xu Yezhi doesn't want to be a general, so no one can tie him to the position of general.And there is an old saying from the ancestors: twisted melons are not sweet.

Of course, the emperor who sits on the world must not be reconciled to the loss of talents.He once approached Xu Zhongjie in private, wanting him to persuade Xu Yezhi, after all, it was a pity that such a handsome talent who was not born in the world kept silent like this.But on this matter, Xu Zhongjie showed a wry smile. He said to the emperor at that time: "Your Majesty, although Yezhi is my son, he is determined to make a decision that cannot be brought back by eight hundred cows." , since he doesn't want to be a general anymore, he must have his own reasons, and I can't force him."

This is actually a matter on the surface. As for the under the surface, there may be various reasons for Xu Ye's abandonment of martial arts and literature, or Xu Zhongjie may not object to him abandoning martial arts for literature.Of course, this is all under the table, who knows.Anyway, the result is: Xu Yezhi became a civil servant, and he was also highly praised as a civil servant.

An old scholar in the capital commented on Xu Ye's way: "Xu Ye's son is among dragons and phoenixes. He is not only erudite and talented, but also extremely wise. He has a deep heart, and he cares about the world. It is really a blessing for the country to plead for the lives of all people."

Xu Yezhi received such a high evaluation in his career as a civil servant, which made the emperor feel less sorry for Xu Yezhi's abandonment of martial arts and civil service.After all, generals can only play a role in wartime, while civil servants have to work for him 365 days a year.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the legend of Xu Yezhi jumped a little every year, and jumped every three years, and within a few years he had already secured his official position as a third-rank official.At this time, he was only 26 years old.

People say that he is proud in officialdom but frustrated in love, and Xu Yezhi has not been able to escape from this vicious circle. The 26-year-old Xu Yezhi has been widowed for two years.

After getting married at the age of 15, Xu Yezhi's wife, Ji Shi, got married, and the two had a happy life for a few years, but Xu Ye went out to fight, and Ji Shi's physical condition became worse and worse. Finally, after giving birth to a sister with all her life, her body became weaker, and she passed away not long after.

The remaining sister, Fang, is also a thin and small one. The insufficiency disease brought out in the mother's womb is not good for taking medicine. At the age of three, she still looks like a child who is more than one year old. It is pitiful to look at.

Although Xu Yezhi was like a fish in water in the officialdom, he was exhausted physically and mentally for his daughter. Whenever he hugged Sister Fang's thin body, he felt uncomfortable. After all, this was the first blood in his life.

The above is the situation in Xu Ye's family, let's talk about himself.

As a middle-aged man of a noble family, there is absolutely no reason for him to live in widowhood all the time. The inheritance of the family and the continuation of the blood require him to marry again.Not only that, the matter of the inner house, the physiological needs of a man also need him to get married to calm down.

Xu Yezhi didn't have the consciousness to guard his body like a jade for his dead wife. It would be unrealistic to point at an ancient man to do so, let alone such a shrewd Xu Yezhi.

So when his mother euphemistically conveyed his father Xu Zhongjie's meaning, Xu Yezhi also agreed, but he has requirements for the marriage partner.

Among the women in the capital, apart from Liu Junhui, who has been famous for a long time, there is also Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper of Feng Lazi, who has a good reputation. As for the various reputations of other women, they are not memorable.

And I don't know which master brought such a reputation to Xu Yezhi's ears, so that when he mentioned the remarriage partner, Xu Yezhi thought of Wang Xifeng as a matter of course.

A few days ago, Xu Yezhi also heard about the marriage between the Jia family and the Liu family, and also knew that Wang Xifeng's situation seemed to be not good.Moreover, at Wang Xifeng's age, it is not a marriageable age for others, but for him, a widower, this age is not too old.

Therefore, Xu Yezhi euphemistically mentioned Wang Xifeng's name to his mother.

When she heard about Wang Xifeng from her son Xu Ye, the first thing Mrs. Zhou did was to frown.Although his son is a widower, his ability and status are there. It is not a problem to marry any kind of girl, even if it is a lady from the Houfu, it is not difficult. Why bother to choose a family that is not happy? It's not prosperous, and I don't have a father-in-law's family yet.

It's just that she also knows her son's character. Now that she has made a decision, it is not something a cow can pull back.This matter is still in accordance with his wishes, after all, he has to live this life by himself, and marrying someone who doesn't go his way will make things difficult for his son in the end.

Mrs. Zhou reluctantly agreed, and in this way, the matchmaker came to propose marriage to Xu Yezhi.
