Chapter 43 Cousin [first update]

Just when the fourth sister thought that Yang Qian would leave angrily, Yang Qian suddenly stood up, saluted the ninth sister with a fist, and said seriously, "Xiaosheng thanked Sister Jiu for his advice!"

He looked firm, but a little more calm, which was completely different from his resentment.

Sister Jiu was relieved. When she tried so hard to say these nonsense to Yang Qian, she took a fancy to Yang Qian's talent. Maybe she thought too much, but it was not a bad thing to prepare for a rainy day. She went to school with Yang Qian and knew Yang Qian's character, so she naturally put more attention on Yang Qian.

The fourth sister is also a sensible person, but she still looked at the ninth sister with a strange face and came to the ninth sister's ear and said, "Jiujie, what did you do to tell him about this? Even if he is admitted as a scholar in the future, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Why do you think the second uncle asked him to go to school in our Xue mansion?"

"He is our distant relative..." The fourth sister was stunned.

Sister Jiu nodded, which is obviously what she meant.

The fourth sister shut up and ate snacks sullenly. If his father really regarded Yang Qian as a relative, he would not even be as good as a little man in the house. Besides, there are many poor relatives in Xue's house, and I haven't seen my father bring the children of those relatives into Xue's house to study and practice calligraphy.

Looking at the appearance of the fourth sister, she obviously figured it out. The ninth sister has been doubting Master Xue's intention from the beginning. Maybe it's because he has distant relatives, or maybe he is cultivating his own power! She doesn't know how the officialdom is, but that's probably the case. Yang Qian is a distant relative of the Xue family, and he is a little talented and practical. In the future exam, Master Xue will walk with the people above and get an official position for Yang Qian. He is not afraid that Yang Qian will be ungrateful. This is much more reassuring than the students. In the future, Yang Qian will be Master Xue Er's, at least in the eyes of other officials.

What about Liu Fuzi? What role does he play in it? The ninth sister didn't believe that Mr. Liu came to Xue's house to teach these young masters because he failed. How to put it, it doesn't feel like it, but Sister Jiu can't figure out why, and he also valued Yang Qian's appearance.

Yang Qian has sat down for a while when Sister Jiu was distracted. Although he was still a little reserved, he could see that he was overcoming his problems.

Sister Jiu nodded with satisfaction and handed Yang Qian a snack with her own hands.

There was a trace of imperceptible surprise in the fourth sister's eyes, but it was well concealed, but there were still stormy waves in her heart. Not only to Sister Jiu, but also to Yang Qian.

She still remembers that her aunt told her that even if she looked down on Yang Qian and disdained Yang Qian, she could not show it. She would try to make friends with Yang Qian, but don't be too obvious. She never knew the reason. She just followed her aunt's words and did not laugh at Yang Qian with her sisters, but she would not get too close to him.

In fact, the ninth sister also saw the fourth sister's thoughts. Yang Qian is very grateful every time she sees the fourth sister, while the fourth sister is enthusiastic about Yang Qian on the surface, but she still looks down on Yang Qian in her bones. Thinking about it, it should also mean the second aunt. I don't know why, she suddenly remembered the sixth sister. When she thought about it carefully, only the sixth sister competed with Yang Qian in class. At most, several other sisters and tenth brothers also showed disdain on the surface, but they did not have too much intersection with Yang Qian. It's so strange.

The fourth sister enthusiastically introduced these cakes to Yang Qian, talked to the ninth sister about the house for a while, and made an appointment with the ninth sister to go to the temple fair. The ninth sister readily agreed. The group finally talked and laughed, and Yang Qian gradually relaxed from the beginning.

In the distance, Xiahou Chen looked at the scene in front of him with great interest and said to the person next to him, "I didn't expect to meet you here, brother, that's your ugly cousin!"

"Brother Chengqi, she is my cousin. How can you say that?" The sound was a little angry, but it was like a clear mountain spring.

Xiahouchen said, "You are an ugly girl, but you take good care of this cousin you have never met."

"She is my aunt's daughter." After a long time, I heard this voice sound again, "That pair of eyes are very much like my aunt. Brother Yan Jin will be blessed in the future."

Xia Houchen doesn't say anything. What's the blessing of marrying this ugly girl?

Li Xingzhi said mockingly, "It's you. You married Xue's second sister before, but she passed away unexpectedly. It's really a pity that the second sister is not bad. Which daughter are you going to marry this time?

As soon as this problem was mentioned, Xia Houchen lost his previous frivolity and said lightly, "It's still Xue's daughter!"

Li Xingzhi opened his mouth and stopped talking. He just looked at the two little girls playing in the distance.

Xiahouchen also looked at the ninth sister and the fourth sister. He didn't know what to think. Suddenly, he suddenly said to Li Xingzhi, "It's not easy to meet, let's join in the fun together. I don't know if your ugly cousin will be ashamed to see you, a cousin of Yushu Linfeng.

Li Xingzhi is obviously dissatisfied with Xia Houchen's words. Although he is a little disappointed with his cousin's appearance, looking at the scene just now, this cousin is not hopeless, and maybe she will be beautiful in the future.

Looking at Xiahouchen'sxingful appearance, Li Xingzhi was very helpless.

When she was still some distance away from the ninth sister, Cai Wei found Xia Houchen and another unknown young man. The unknown young man wore a moon-white brocade robe, with high eyebrows, a jade crown on his face, and only a jade hairpin on his bun, with calm hands and feet.

Who the hell is this prince?

"Fourth sister, ninth sister, second uncle is coming." Cai Wei interrupted the conversation between the three.

Sister Jiu's voice stopped abruptly. When she looked up, she saw Xia Houchen's obvious purple and a slightly sarcastic smile on the corners of her lips. Her heart was inexplicably tight. Why did Xia Houchen come? Sister Jiu couldn't help touching her nose.

The three quickly got up to greet each other. Xia Houchen glanced and said faintly, "I heard that Mrs. Xue had brought her family to Pudu Temple for an outing, but I didn't expect to meet you two."

"Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng Yang Qian has met the son of the world, and this one..." Yang Qian bravely saluted Xiahouchen, but unfortunately Xiahouchen did not pay attention to Yang Qian at all. Yang Qian suddenly looked a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.

The fourth sister looked up and down at Xia Houchen and ridiculed, "Is the second brother-in-law a little disappointed? The sixth sister didn't come here!"

Is this fourth sister not afraid of Xia Houchen? The ninth sister thought that the young ladies in Xue's mansion didn't like Xia Houchen. When the sixth sister saw Xia Houchen, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. She had no confidence. The fourth sister actually joked with Xia Houchen.

Xia Houchen's eyebrows**, "I'm afraid the sixth sister is strictly seen by the third sister." She looked at the fourth sister with a little more mockery.

Sister Jiu said secretly: Sure enough, it's true for anyone.

The fourth sister became boring and no longer talked to Xia Houchen, and she was not even interested in the men around her.

"Ugly girl, today I brought you a talented man with a jade tree." Xia Houchen looked at Sister Jiu, and the mockery in his eyes was much deeper.

"Where is the talent of Yushu Linfeng? Don't listen to the enlightenment." Li Xingzhi smiled at the corners of his lips, and his eyes were like a pool of clear water, as if he could turn people away.

The smile on Sister Jiu's face suddenly disappeared. How could this person directly call her daughter? It sounded very familiar.

Xia Houchen mocked and said, "As long as you are a woman, you will be recognized as a disciple."

Sister Jiu's face turned slightly red. In fact, that's what he thought in his heart, but since Xia Houchen brought it here, he should not be a disciple. An arrogant person like Xiahouchen can't get along with a lowly person.

"It's time for me to be abrupt." Li Xingzhi suddenly realized and turned a blind eye to Xia Houchen's sarcasm. "My surname is Li, and my single name is Yi, and the word line is your cousin."

The ninth sister looked at Xia Houchen and the man named Li Yi, but she was not less vigilant.

Li Yi bent the corners of his lips with a smile, "I'm the Suzhou Li family, and your mother is my aunt."

"Jiu'er has met my cousin!" The ninth sister blessed Li Yi, but she was not lull to him.

Li Yi's face stiffened, "Why do you need to see the ninth sister like this? If you have a chance, you should go to your grandmother's house to stay for a while." Li Yi changed his name to the ninth sister. Since the ninth sister did not mention her daughter's name, it would obviously not be polite if she still called her like this. But Sister Jiu's attitude shows that she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Li family.

But think about it, she should be good in Xue's house now. The relationship between the Li family and the Xue family is a little stiff now. Although she doesn't know, the old lady of the Xue family may have said some bad things about the Li family to the ninth sister. What's more, his cousin appeared too suddenly, and the ninth sister should have this attitude.

Listening to the tone of Li Yi's words, the ninth sister was also much more relaxed.

"Your ugly cousin is really incomprehensable." Xia Houchen said contemptuously.

"I've never seen it, and it should be strange." Li Yi said lightly.

"Hmm!" Xia Houchen made a dissatisfied voice in his nose and sat down by himself, "Sit down together. What are you doing standing?"

Sister Jiu is slightly angry. You are the highest here. If you don't sit down, who dares to sit down? When Xia Houchen finished his words, the ninth sister sat next to Li Yi. After all, he was a cousin, and listening to the anti-friction words was not too bad for herself. The fourth sister also sat next to the ninth sister.

Yang Qian didn't know whether to sit or stand.

"Yang Qian, sit down." The ninth sister smiled at Yang Qian.

Yang Qian took a look at Xia Houchen and saw that Xia Houchen did not object, so he sat down tremblingly.

Sister Jiu shook her head helplessly. This Yang Qian can't be changed now. She picked up the osmanthus cake on the plate and handed it to Yang Qian, "Don't be too foreign. Everyone is a relative!"

"You only give snacks to this person, but not to your cousin and me?"

Jiujie's hand stiffened, "Yang Qian is also Jiu'er's cousin." Although he said this, his hand did not stop. He quickly picked a piece of red bean cake and sent it to Xia Houchen. "Second brother-in-law, please use it!"

"You give this red bean cake to Li Yi. I don't like red bean cake. Give me a piece of osmanthus cake."

The ninth sister was angry, but she still obediently sent the red bean cake to Li Yi and took a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Xia Houchen.

The group was much quieter because of the addition of Xiahouchen and Li Yi.

After a long silence, Xia Houchen said, "Is this Yang Qian studying in your Xue's house?"

"Hmm!"

"After passing the children's examination, I will go to the National Prison."

"Chengqi, Guozijian needs to get the reputation of a scholar, you..." Li Yi was shocked.

"No matter how bad the people Master Xue looks like, they can't go anywhere!"

Yang Qian was overjoyed and looked at Xia Houchen excitedly. He couldn't say a word. He never thought that he could enter the Guozi prison.

Sister Jiu couldn't help frowning and raising her head, just in the sarcastic eyes of Xia Houchen.
