Xiang Jingxing lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "Mother's words can really hurt the child. The mother has the kindness to raise her son, so why dare to call the word 'hate'?"

Mrs. Liu looked down at her well-maintained hands, and sighed: "Since you talk like this, you must still hate me."

Xiang Jing Xing was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "My son is telling the truth. Even when he was young and frivolous, he never really hated you. After all, I did not do the right thing back then."

After saying this, Xiang Jing Xing's suppressed state of mind finally became a little more open.What happened back then was a bloody scar on Xiang Jingxing's heart, which could not heal after many years. It was an insurmountable barrier between him and his mother. seven years.

In all fairness, at first he had resentment, resentment for his mother's incomprehension, and resentment for the injustice of the heavens, but when he traveled in the world, after the precipitation and baptism of years and life, he was finally able to think from the perspective of a mother Everything about that year, I realized more calmly how wrong I was back then.Or should I say, if I hadn't made a mistake at the beginning, I wouldn't be in such an irreversible situation now.

In the final analysis, I still missed other people's life.

Mrs. Liu was so stunned that she couldn't speak on the spot when she heard this, but tears welled up in her eyes in an instant, and she couldn't stop it.

Xiang Jingxing wiped away tears for his mother silently, but he felt really uncomfortable in his heart.

After all these years, not only was she suffering, but also her mother, who always put herself on top of her heart, had never had a better time?The mother has been strong for the rest of her life, but at the end of the day, she is crushed by her. Naturally, she will not have a few days of comfortable life.

Finally, I have spoken today, even if it is impossible to return to the unbroken mother-child relationship in the past, they will not torture each other anymore.

Xiang Jing Xing put away the veil, and said softly: "Mother, since I have promised to come back to get married, I will not abandon the responsibilities that you and I should shoulder, and then act like a coward to escape."

Mrs. Liu nodded again and again, finally able to let out the breath that had been pent up in her heart all year round.

Lovingly stroking Xiang Jing Xing's hair, Mrs. Liu finally shed her tears, and it took a while to say: "Xing'er, don't blame me for choosing this marriage for you. Although the Qiao family is just a family of merchants, after all You are a rich man in Jiangling. If you become an official in the future, you should be able to get some help... Besides, I have seen the daughter of the Qiao family. She looks very pretty, and she speaks and acts generously. In the future, as the mistress of the Xiang family, you will be able to take care of your husband and teach your children well in the future, which should save you some worries..."

There is another plan that Mrs. Liu did not say.

The ancestor of the Xiang family could barely be regarded as a founding hero. He was granted the title of second-class captain of light chariots by the grace of the sage back then, but it was a pity that it was passed down from generation to generation, and Xiang Jingxing's grandfather could no longer continue to be a knight. So strictly speaking, Xiang Mingxuan is just a white body, and he is a dude, and he has not even donated an ordinary official title in these years, so he can only be regarded as a rich man in real terms.

Although after years of in-law management, Xiang's family still has some contacts in the capital, but the main line does not have any outstanding talents. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the Xiang family is already going downhill.

Because of this, Xiang Mingxuan was quite angry in Beijing, where there were many powerful officials and nobles, so after his father passed away, he simply moved his family south, and moved Xiangfu to Jiangling City, and lived comfortably from then on. own little days.

When Mrs. Liu married Xiang Mingxuan, her father, Mrs. Liu, was just a small official in the capital. Unexpectedly, his official career began to prosper soon. Xiang Mingxuan has always respected Mrs. Liu, so naturally no one can shake Xiang Jingxing's position in Xiang's mansion.

However, after so many years, Xiang's mansion has also begun to show a downturn. Although Xiang's family has many farm shops, the daily entry and exit items are also a huge expense. Although Mrs. Liu is good at housekeeping, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. , It also gradually seemed a little stretched.

So after Mrs. Liu took great pains, she finally chose the eldest daughter of the Qiao family as the daughter-in-law. After all, the Qiao family is rich, and now it has climbed up to a family like Xiangfu, so the dowry is naturally extremely generous.If she became the mistress of the Xiang family in the future, she would not worry her son about making a living for the whole family.

What's more, Xiang Jingxing is only a scholar now, and Xiangfu is in such an embarrassing situation, if he wants to marry an official woman by force, he may be hindered by the Yue family in the future.

Xiang Jingxing didn't have any objection to this marriage.He has always known that Mrs. Liu is extremely concerned about his affairs, so he is naturally more at ease with her daughter-in-law, who has a lot of choices.Besides, for Xiang Jingxing, marrying a wife is just to have a woman who will bear children for him and manage the whole back house of Xiang Mansion. How can we talk about these?

Mrs. Liu said again at this time: "You came back a bit late, and your big day will be in two days. After you go to see the master after a while, remember to try on the wedding clothes you made. Hurry up and make some changes... You should also familiarize yourself with the rules on the day of marriage, don't make any mistakes and just make people laugh..." After babbling a lot, Xiang Jing Just listen patiently.

Xiang Jingxing is already in his twenties this year. After the turmoil that happened back then, he threatened not to marry for life. After that, after several twists and turns, it was not until he was 20 years old that Xiang Mingxuan wrote a letter to cursing him before he was relieved. Promise to be engaged.Because Qiao Zhijing, the daughter of Qiao's parents, was born beautiful, people came to propose marriage since she was eleven or twelve years old, but in the end she was settled by the Xiang family.Originally, she planned to marry Qiao Zhijing after she turned 14, but unexpectedly, not long after getting engaged, the mistress of the Qiao family suddenly fell ill and died.

Now that Qiao Zhijing has turned 15 years old, and the wedding ceremony has passed, no matter what, it is time for Xiang Jingxing to marry her.

Besides, Xiang Jingxing and several concubines and concubines had reached their age, as the eldest son, the marriage could not be delayed any longer.In the Tian Dynasty, men held the crown ceremony at the age of 20, and women reached the age of 15, but most of them would get married before the coming-of-age ceremony.Because of Xiang Jingxing's special situation, Mrs. Liu was worried that she would delay the good age of a few concubine daughters and cause criticism, so she decided to marry the eldest and second sisters of the Xiang family first.Xiang Jingxing's concubines are better off, the eldest brother Xiang Jingyan is not yet 19 years old, so it's fine to delay, so there is no marriage discussion yet, just wait for Mrs. Liu to look out for a suitable girl's house for them to wait for marriage That's all.

After Mrs. Liu had finished giving instructions, Xiang Jingxing suddenly said: "The maid Yingui that my mother put in my room, seeing that she has reached her age, let's send it out to be a kid."

Mrs. Liu was startled when she heard the words, her eyes became meaningful: she seems to be another restless girl.Knowing that her son didn't like her, Mrs. Liu didn't force her. After all, she just "reconciled" with her son, and Mrs. Liu didn't want to go against him on such a trivial matter, so she smiled and said, "If that's the case, let's dismiss it." Let her go out."

After thinking for a while, he said: "The Dangui girl in my room is a duty-bound girl. Since Yingui has been kicked out, let her serve in your room."

Xiang Jingxing said indifferently: "Let mother make arrangements."

After sitting like this for a while, Xiang Jing Xing got up and left.After seeing his father today, the younger brothers will definitely visit him in the Lanyuan Courtyard, and there are still many trivial matters to be dealt with before the wedding, so it is inconvenient for Xiang Jingxing to stay here for a long time.

************************************************** ************************

When we went to Cui Song Yuan, Xiang Mingxuan was finishing his breakfast and was playing with the big flat-feathered colorful feather parrot in the yard. One person and one bird, singing together was lively.

Xiang Mingxuan has always been a caretaker and pays attention to maintaining his body, so his appearance looks much younger than his actual age. With three beautiful beards under his jaw, he can still see the suave and suave youth.Hearing Xiang Jingxing's greeting, he didn't turn his head back, but said calmly, "Have you visited your mother?"

"Yes, father."

Only then did Xiang Mingxuan turn his head around, looked his son up and down, and commented: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I finally have some of the style I used to..."

Xiang Jingxing's mouth twitched, but he didn't make a sound.

Xiang Mingxuan coughed, and continued: "Wenyuan wrote me a lot of praises for you. You have done a good job in the past few years."

Xiang Jing Xing slightly bent over to show his humility.Wen Yuan is the cousin of Xiang Jing Xing's mentor who is studying abroad, and he has an inseparable friendship with Xiang Mingxuan.It was also after knowing the ability of his reclusive teacher that Xiang Jing Xing understood his father a little better.

"We're going to get married in a few days, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Hearing Xiang Mingxuan's words, the corners of Xiang Jingxing's mouth twitched, he choked for a long time, and finally changed the topic to an irrelevant direction with difficulty, and said solemnly: "Father, I plan to participate in next year's Autumn Festival."

Xiang Mingxuan narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Hmm."

Xiang Jingxing lost his voice.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

Xiang Jingxing was defeated, and saluted: "Father, please forgive the son for being disrespectful, and the son will go to try on the wedding clothes later, so that the father will not be disturbed to amuse the bird."

Xiang Mingxuan curled his lips boredly, and waved his hands: "Let's go." After a pause, he seemed to feel that such a simple sentence could not express his resentment at the moment, so he added: "I was not cute when I was young, but now It's even more uncutable to be taught by that old guy Wenyuan..." Finally, he came to a conclusion: "What an unlovable son!"

Xiang Mingxuan's usual calm expression finally broke.

He fled.
