"Master, you are back."

When the master returned, Wu Sui smiled and went up to him, taking over the official hat that Xu Qian was holding.

Xu Qian looked at his nephew with a slightly pale face and his eyes dodged, and said coldly, "Prepare water."

Wu Sui quickly went to pass the message.

Xu Qian then asked his nephew: "Is there anything to do with me?"

Xu Ke clenched his fists, finally made up his mind, raised his head and looked at the elders who suppressed him in all aspects, and his voice firmly: "Yes, I want to ask..."

Xu Qian turned around, walked straight to the inner room, and said casually: "I'll take a shower first, and I'll talk about it if I have something to do."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Qian left with a cold back.

The courage that Xu Ke finally accumulated was like a flood discharge from the river, and it suddenly disappeared and disappeared.

He stood woodenly in front of the chair.

Not long after, Wu Sui came back with two coarse servants carrying water. The sound of pouring water quickly came from inside. After a while, the two servants retreated properly. Wu Sui should be staying inside to serve the fifth uncle.

Xu Ke couldn't help but think that Wu Sui would tell his fifth uncle about his purpose?

What will Uncle Wu think and be angry?

The summer sunset is brighter than the winter, and cicadas are chirping in the distance. Xu Ke looked around in an upset and suddenly noticed several plates of rose potted plants placed in the house.

The rose is beautiful, but it appears in the room of an unmarried single man, but it is a little out of place.

Xu Ke suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

His fifth uncle, who seems to be cold and ruthless, is actually a quiet person who likes to prune flowers and plants. If he insists on his feelings for Ayu, the fifth uncle will most likely help him and give up Ayu.

The anxious heart gradually calmed down, and Xu Ke held his hands and waited patiently.

In the inner room, Wu Suihou was outside the screen and whispered to the master in the bathtub.

Xu Qian didn't like to be close to the servants when taking a bath. He rubbed his shoulders and backs all by himself, and he was not used to the maids and servants.

After hearing Wu Sui's words, Xu Qian also guessed the purpose of his nephew.

If you are stubborn, don't blame him for being polite.

With a "slam" sound, Xu Qian stood up. Wu Sui subconsciously looked up and saw a strong and majestic man's body through the screen.

A man's body shape will change several times in his life. Although the Sixth Young Master is tall now, his shoulders are still narrow, unlike adult men. His shoulders are wide and strong. His body can bring endless pressure to the young man.

Wu Sui silently shed tears of sympathy for the sixth young master.

Xu Qian changed into a dark regular dress and came out expressionlessly.

Xu Ke never sat down again. When he saw him, he immediately said respectfully: "Uncle Fifth."

Xu Qian nodded, pointed to the guest seat in the lower right corner of the main seat and said, "Sit down."

The uncle and nephew sat down one after another, and Wu Sui retreated outside to guard.

Xu Qian picked up the tea bowl, relieved his thirst after the bath, and then looked at his nephew: "What's the matter with me?"

Xu Ke clenched his fists, suddenly stood up and walked to the opposite side of Xu Qian, bent down and saluted: "Uncle Wu, I have been happy with Ayu for a long time, I beg Uncle Wu to fulfill my wish."

The young man made a sound, but Xu Qian instantly thought of the words of his mother and Madam Fang.

Should you like someone, you should be as brave as your nephew?

In Xu Qian's eyes, Ayu was still a little girl. He really didn't have much affection for her, but Ayu liked him and the marriage was determined by him, so Xu Qian was willing to do something that would make Ayu happy.

After learning a lesson from my nephew, Xu Qian didn't want to be lenient and said coldly: "On the day when the Hou'er celebrated the Zhou Dynasty for Brother Chi'er, the old lady went to propose marriage to me and asked me to marry Ayu. Cao Hou had already agreed and exchanged the token with the old lady. Thinking that Ayu was still young and was temporarily postponed the formal appointment period, and waited for Ayu and the Hailang to go to the third and six more media recruitment."

What?

Xu Ke looked up in disbelief.

Xu Qian stared at him and said in a stern manner: "Those who do not know are not guilty. I don't care about your thoughts before, but now Ayu is my fiancée and your fifth aunt who has not passed away. If you still don't give up and offend her and offend me and even the reputation of the entire Duke's Mansion, don't blame me for using family laws on you."

Intimidated by the momentum of his elders, Xu Ke first burst into cold sweat on his head, and then he realized that Uncle Wu was really engaged to Ayu.

It turned out that my grandmother went out for the first time to visit the Cao family's banquet to propose marriage.

No wonder Uncle Wu repeatedly blocked him from getting close to Ayu, and it turned out that she had long become his Aunt Wu.

Xu Ke could not accept it, nor could he face his fifth uncle anymore, leaving with a pale face, in a hurry and in a daze.

Outside the door, Wu Sui watched the young man stumble and escape, shook his head.

This is heartbroken. If the wife does not give up, when she enters the door in the future, she will see the fifth master and the wife in a close relationship. What will the sixth master be so sad?

Ayu had no idea about the matter in the Duke's Mansion. Moreover, after clarifying how she should get along with Xu Qian, Ayu no longer looked forward to meeting Xu Qian all day long.

At the moment, she has more important things to be busy with.

Ayu wanted to find out the grudge between the elder brother and the Yuan family in his previous life.

It is said that the elder brother teased his colleague Yuan Sheng’s sister-in-law while drunk, but Ayu learned from a chat with his parents that the elder brother was incredible. Once more than a dozen guards joined forces to fight with the elder brother for a drink, the guards fell down. However, the elder brother just drank red and could still go home alone.

Since that's the case, how could a big brother, who is not lustful, play tricks on other people's widows?

Ayu originally planned to prevent his elder brother from going to the Yuan family to eat mat by the end of the year, so he could avoid this trouble. After discovering this, Ayu felt that it would be better to remove hidden dangers from the root, otherwise, if the elder brother went to the Yuan family one day, he would still be in danger of being involved in the disaster.

Ayu first asked Baochan to find a way to inquire about the situation of the Yuan family.

Baochan has a wide connection and took three days to find out.

The Yuan family's ancestral home is Taizhou. The father of the Yuan Sheng and Yuan Kai brothers died early. They were raised by their mother, Old Lady Yuan. The two brothers were strong and flexible. The elder brother Yuan Sheng joined the army and struggled among the dead, and developed a good skill. A few years later, he was promoted to Beijing to become an official and met a family like Cao Lian.

The younger brother Yuan Kai relied on his brother's military salary to do some business and made a lot of money. Later, with the introduction of his sister-in-law Miao, he got married to Miao's cousin Ji Mingfeng.

However, just the month when the two were about to get married, Yuan Kai and a group of friends were accidentally dropped out of the horse while playing polo, and were kicked in the head by a horse. He was carried home and died before the doctor arrived.

The prospective groom died, and Ji Mingfeng wanted to quit the marriage, but Dad Ji and the one he married later could not afford to do this good marriage. In addition, Mrs. Yuan insisted that his second daughter-in-law enter the house and be widowed for her poor second son, so Ji Mingfeng was tied up and sent to a sedan chair, unwilling to become a widow of the Yuan family. In order to prevent Ji Mingfeng from escaping, Mrs. Yuan bought two big and thick nannies to look at her, which made Ji Mingfeng unable to even leave the door.

"This second wife of Yuan is so pitiful." Baochan said sympathetically. When she was sold to the Yuan family by her father and stepmother in her great years, what hope would she have in her life?

But Ayu thought about it differently.

Since Ji Mingfeng was strictly under the supervision of Mrs. Yuan, it would not be so easy for my elder brother to tease her if she was willing to make fun of her.

Therefore, there must be hidden information in this.

Baochan was hard to find out about other things, and Ayu hesitated for a while and came to find his elder brother.

Coincidentally, when Ayu came over, Cao Lian was about to go out.

When he saw his sister, Cao Lianqi said, "A Yu is looking for me?"

When Ayu saw him wearing a brocade robe, he immediately asked, "Where are you going to have a drink?"

Cao Lian smiled and explained: "A colleague's mother celebrated her birthday and invited me to a meal."

Co-worker? Mother?

These two words suddenly made Ayu think of the Yuan family and couldn't help asking: "Which colleague, do I know him?"

Cao Lian felt that today's sister seemed particularly curious about him.

"I probably don't know each other. My colleague's surname is Yuan, and he is not a native of the capital."

Ayu's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that it was really the Yuan family.

There was something like that. Ayu was worried that his brother would go to the banquet alone. He bit his lip. She ran to his brother and looked up and said good-looking: "Brother, take me with me. The family is too boring. My mother coaxes my brother every day, and my second brother doesn't care about accompanying me. I want to go outside to see the fun. By the way, is there any girl of my age in the Yuan family?"

Cao Lian thought for a while and said, "It seems that there are two cousins."

Ayu smiled and said, "Then I'll get to know each other. After the conversation is so good, I can still walk around multiple families."

It was rare that my sister took the initiative to beg him. Cao Lian hesitated a little and agreed, only instructed: "You may not adapt if you go there. If you want to leave the seat early, come to me."

The cold man, who speaks and acts, thinks about her every time. Thinking that her brother was criticized in his previous life until his death, he could not marry a good wife. Ayu couldn't help but feel wronged for his brother.

The sun was so fierce that Cao Lian ordered people to prepare a carriage. Anyway, they were brothers and sisters, so the two of them rode together.

The Yuan family lives in Dongcheng and is in a relatively remote location. Ayu took advantage of the long journey to inquire about his brother: "Brother, how old is your colleague? How did you meet him?"

Maybe the little girls are curious?

Cao Lian looked at his sister and answered questions: "I met him on the battlefield, he was two years older than me."

Ayu: "Then did he get married?"

Cao Lian: "Well, the eldest daughter is already five years old."

Ayu breathed exaggeratedly: "Will he get married when he was seventeen or eighteen?"

Cao Lian nodded and asked his sister in surprise: "Is it very strange to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen?" As for how surprised?

Ayu had been waiting for him for a long time, lowered his head and muttered, "Brother is 21 and has not yet married yet, I thought the military officers were married late."

Cao Lian:...

He was speechless.

The cuff was suddenly pulled, Cao Lian lowered his head and met his sister's watery almond eyes. The little girl asked him with a flattering smile: "Brother, everyone is a father, are you not in a hurry? Or tell me what kind of girl you like, and I will pay attention to you when I go out as a guest. There are so many noble girls in the capital, and there must be something that suits you."

My sister was kind, but Cao Lian suddenly felt guilty.
