Poor Family

"Heart words!"

Seeing Qiao Xinyu and Shi Fuxin, Xiahou Huanyan immediately smiled.

With this smile, all the blooming flowers around her paled.

Shi Fuxin is a super face control, she loves to see both beautiful men and beautiful women.

There are many beauties in the capital, and the National Women's Prison is full of youthful beauties, but none of them are as eye-catching as Xiahou Huanyan in front of them.

Under the colorful flower corridor, Xiahou Huanyan looks like a flower fairy.

Seeing Shi Fuxin staring at Xiahou Huanyan with bright eyes, Qiao Xinyu helplessly covered her face, so there are many ordinary people who are overwhelmed by Cousin Huanyan's peerless beauty.

If you want her to say, a person still has to look at the inside, is good-looking enough to be eaten?

It's a pity, the world is vulgar!

Xia Hou walked towards Shi Fuxin and Qiao Xinyu with a smile on his face, first looked at Qi Xinyu, then his eyes fell on Shi Fuxin, with a curious expression on his face: "Who is this?"

Qiao Xinyu replied briefly: "Shi Wulang's younger sister, Shi Fuxin."

"Hello, sister Xiahou."

Shi Fuxin greeted with a smile.

Xiahou Huanyan hurriedly grabbed Shi Fuxin: "So you are Fuxin." After saying that, she looked at Shi Fuxin carefully, "You are really a pain."

Uh.

Being told by a fifteen-year-old girl that she was lovely, Shi Fuxin felt a little weird in her heart, but with a beauty by her side, this little matter can be ignored, and taking advantage of Xia Hou's happy face to pull her, Shi Fuxin took the initiative to pull her up. Xiahou Huanyan's little hand.

A beauty is a beauty. This hand is white, tender, and soft, so comfortable to touch.

Qiao Xinyu immediately noticed Shi Fuxin's small movements. Seeing her eating her cousin's tofu, she quickly stepped forward to save the beauty, and squeezed between Shi Fuxin and Xiahou Huanyan, separating the two.

"Cousin, didn't you say that you want to take me to the martial arts exam? I can skip class and go to the Ministry of War today, but I waited and waited and I didn't see you."

Xiahou Huanyan was a little embarrassed when the promise was not fulfilled, "I don't want to do this either, I borrowed all the tokens to enter the military department, but unfortunately my mother took them away, and my mother also restrained my feet and didn't allow me to leave the house. "

As the youngest girl in the Duke's mansion, and she was born well, everyone loves Xiahou Huanyan very much.

It can be said that Xiahou Huanyan grew up in a honeypot since she was a child.

Doted on by so many people, Xiahou Huanyan is somewhat arrogant and mischievous, although she looks weak and weak, but her dream since she was a child is to be a chivalrous woman who fights for justice.

As a result, the delicate girl who was supposed to be raised in the boudoir often disguised herself as a man and sneaked out of the mansion. Relying on the Dingguo Mansion's backing, she did many things that caused headaches for the rich and powerful in the capital.

Speaking of Xiahou Huanyan's desire to become a chivalrous woman, she has something to do with the old man Tianchi.

When the old Duke Xiahou was young, he was seriously injured and almost died in another battle with Beiyan. It was the old man Tianchi who fell from the sky to save him.

When Xiahou Huanyan was five or six years old, the old Duke Xiahou told her this incident as a story. Since then, Xiahou Huanyan has been fascinated by various deeds of knight-errants.

In the past, Dingguo's mansion still indulged her, but since Xiahou Huanyan and Ji, Mrs. Shizi hardened her heart and made every effort to restrain her. She must be allowed by the mansion to leave the mansion.

Thinking of not being able to go to the martial arts arena to watch this year's martial arts students, Xiahou Huanyan sighed with regret, but when she saw Shi Fuxin and Qiao Xinyu in front of her, she suddenly had an idea.

"Come on, come with me to find my mother, as long as she agrees to let us leave the mansion, I can take you into the military department." After saying that, he held each other and quickly walked out of Youranju.

As the most favored girl in the mansion, Xiahou Huanyan's Youranju is the closest yard to the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, and the three of them came to the main courtyard in just a cup of tea.

But as soon as they stepped into the gate of the main courtyard, Xiahou Huanyan suddenly pulled Shi Fuxin and Qiao Xinyu to hide under the shade of flowers in the courtyard.

"Cousin Huanyan, what's the matter?" Qiao Xinyu looked at Xiahou Huanyan in confusion.

Xiahou Huanyan said with a little irritability: "Mrs. Shizi of the Duke of Ming's Mansion is here."

Shi Fuxin glanced at the main hall, the weather in August was very hot, the doors were all open, and she could see two elegant ladies sitting inside: "The Duke of Ming Dynasty? People from the Dongfang family?"

Qiao Xinyu nodded to Shi Fuxin, and then looked at Xiahou Huanyan sympathetically: "Cousin Huanyan, who is my aunt looking at from the Dongfang family?"

Xia Hou hummed displeasedly: "Whoever she likes, anyway, I won't marry into Dongfang's family."

Shi Fuxin was a little puzzled, looked at Qiao Xinyu, and waited for her to clarify.

Qiao Xinyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Cousin Huanyan, I actually think Dongfang's family is pretty good, but you should think about the fact that their men can't take concubines for no reason."

Xiahou Huanyan is far less weak than she looks on the outside, she is actually a very righteous person, she said with a firm expression: "Yes, I admit that this family rule of the Dongfang family is very good, but their family is also very strict with their daughter-in-law. High."

"This can't be done, that can't be done, the rules and etiquette are the strictest among the nobles in the capital, I'm going to marry into the Duke of Ming's mansion, that's not really a canary in a cage, is that still me? "

Shi Fuxin looked at Xiahou Huanyan in amazement, a little surprised that this delicate girl had her own thoughts.

Although the folk customs of Great Chu were open and the restrictions on women were not as strict as those of other dynasties, the social environment was still dominated by patriarchy and husband power.

Most women are educated to abide by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since they were young, which leads to the fact that women spend their entire lives revolving around their natal family and husband’s family, and very few women can live for themselves.

Even her elder sister, Shi Fuyin, has this kind of concept in her bones. She has taken the initiative to take care of her younger siblings since she was a child, and she does not hesitate to sacrifice her own interests.

Xiahou Huanyan was the first woman she met who clearly wanted to live out her own life.

Qiao Xinyu didn't know what to say. Cousin Huanyan's personality didn't seem to suit the Duke of Ming's mansion: "By the way, cousin, you only got married this year. Why is your aunt so eager to find you a husband's family?"

Xiahou Huanyan glanced at Shi Fuxin, thought for a while and answered: "It's not because the palace is going to be drafted."

Qiao Xinyu knew about this, but she was even more puzzled: "Even if there is a draft in the palace, it has nothing to do with you, cousin, right?"

Relying on Duke Ding's prestige in Dachu, the emperor would not choose the princess of the Duke's mansion to be his concubine.

Xia Hou sighed happily: "You don't know, this draft is a bit different, but all noble officials in the court, as long as the girls in the family who have reached the age of fifteen and are not engaged must participate."

Qiao Xinyu stared, Shi Fuxin also looked straight.

"why?"

Xiahou Huanyan: "Because in this draft, in addition to the selection of concubines by the emperor, he also has to choose concubines for the fifth prince, sixth prince, and seventh prince."

"By the way, there is another gossip. Isn't the Empress Dowager always anxious about Xiao Ziqing's marriage? I heard that this time she will take the opportunity to see each other."

Thinking that her sister would be 15 in October, Shi Fuxin quickly asked, "When will the audition start?"

Xiahou Huanyan shook his head: "This is not clear yet."

Shi Fuxin frowned, if the draft time was after October, wouldn't it mean that her sister would also participate in the draft? And the second sister, Shi Fuyue, is also sixteen this year.

Before, she thought that the draft had nothing to do with their family, and she didn't pay much attention to it, but now it seems that she has to go back and talk to Mrs. Shi.
