Xu Xiang, whom Ge Kailin had just asked about, was currently in the Prince's Mansion.
Opposite him was a skinny man who was exhausted by drinking and sex and suffering from diabetes.
It was his father, Prince Xuanhe.
"My lord, I don't know what you want to do with me."
"Xiang'er, it's been many years since this happened.
When will you call me daddy?
You can also call me father."
"If everything is okay, Your Majesty, please go out right now."
"Hey, Xiang'er, you are already fifteen years old this year.
Your father called you back to discuss your marriage."
"I have my own idea, so I don't need to trouble the prince about this matter."
"Marriage must be done with the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.
It's not appropriate for you to make the decision yourself."
"Could it be that the prince wants to do what he did to his eldest brother back then?"
"Xiang'er, my father was wrong about what happened back then.
He already regrets it very much.
Why would he make the same mistake again?"
"You don't need to worry about my affairs, Your Majesty.
If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will leave now."
"The girl's family has hired a matchmaker, and I have agreed.
It's not up to you."
"Now that it's decided, Your Majesty, you can marry yourself.
It's not like Your Majesty has never done this before.
Not to mention one more woman in His Majesty's courtyard, even ten or eight more are too few.
Take care, Your Majesty, little one.
Resign."
Xuxiang walked out of Prince Xuanhe's courtyard, and an adult man waiting outside the door walked side by side with him.
When they were approaching the intersection, the man saw that Xu Xiang had no intention of speaking and asked, "What does your father want from you?"
"Marriage matter."
Xu Xiang didn't want to say more.
"Seventh brother, I would like to advise you to come back.
Do you really want to live in that small town for the rest of your life?
You are already fifteen years old.
It's time to get married."
"Brother, I have my own opinion on this matter.
I don't want to be manipulated like a pawn by him like he did back then."
"Oh, that's fine.
When will you come back to help big brother?"
"After passing the martial arts examination, how about Zhou Ruofa?"
"He is a general.
As long as he is well cultivated, he will be of great use in the future.
Although his wife is not as good as him, she is also a good assistant.
The two of them work together perfectly."
"That's good."
"Seventh brother, please stay at home for a few more days, and we brothers can have a nice talk."

"Brother, although you and I don't meet each other, we understand each other's situations, so why care about whether it's a face-to-face interview."
"Sigh.
The seventh brother has grown up and no longer likes to follow his elder brother as he did when he was a child.
It doesn't matter.
Everything else is up to you.
But tonight you must come with me to visit the Master and let the Master examine you carefully to see if the remaining poisons in the body have been eliminated.
Cleared.”
When Xu Xiang came back from the capital.
There are still five days until the Liangping Town Talent Contest.
At this time, Ge Kailin saw Ge Li'e's pre-submitted works, which were twelve pictures of the labor of the Liyi Workshop embroidered on the gauze.
To be precise.
There are twenty-four paintings.
Ge Li'e used a double-sided embroidery method.
The content on the front and back are embroidered differently.
Juanjuan fonts are embroidered in the blank spaces to explain the scenes in the pictures.
Regardless of the characters' expressions or movements, they are all lifelike.
The pictures are only the size of Ge Tianyu's palm, and each one looks like he is reading a comic strip.
"Wow, sister-in-law, she's so beautiful.
I will definitely take first place in this competition."
Ge Kailin exclaimed.
Ge Li'e looked indifferent and asked Ge Kaiwu: "Can you do me a favor?"
Ge Kaiwu didn't expect to have his own business: "Ah, what's the matter?"
"I want to decorate these embroideries.
You have the most skillful hands.
Help me make some borders."
"My sister-in-law's embroidery is so exquisite.
What if I damage it?
I'd better find someone who specializes in this."
"It's okay.
Didn't your mother tell you that participating in the competition is just for participation, as long as you do your best, there is no point in asking others to help."
Wu Limei asked: "Li'e, are you ready for the clothes you will wear on the day of competition?"
Ge Li'e said: "When you are ready, I will put it on for my sister-in-law to see."
When Ge Li'e reappeared in front of everyone, everyone's eyes lit up.
The lake green one-piece dress has a slightly darker belt, which is not tightly tightened.
It actually makes the waist look slimmer than a handful.
The embroidered shoes of the same color under the skirt seem to be exposed but not exposed.
It is paired with a light brown gauze shawl.
If others match it like this, It may look nondescript, but on Ge Li'e, her lips are red, her teeth are white, and her face is delicate.
The twelve embroidery paintings are mainly brown in color, which contrast with the shawl and look even more outstanding.
Ge Kailin had sharp eyes: "Sister-in-law, is there any pattern on the edge of this shawl?"
"Little devil, nothing can escape you.
Look, do you recognize what it is?"
Ge Li'e handed the shawl to Ge Kailin.
The two ends of the rectangular shawl are densely embroidered with a circle of twelve zodiac signs, the same color as the gauze.
Each one is only the size of Ge Kailin's little finger.

If you don't look carefully, you would think that the edges are deliberately made thicker when weaving the yarn.
These twelve zodiac signs have different shapes, which Ge Kailin randomly drew when she was free.
Ge Li'e once said that she would embroider them into patterns.
Ge Kailin thought that her sister-in-law was just teasing her, but she didn't expect what Ge Li'e really did.
"My sister-in-law is very cautious.
The only reason she won't be able to get a ranking in this competition is because the referee is ignorant."
Ge Kaiwen came in.
Ge Kailin was surprised.
Ge Kaiwen never commented on his daughter's family affairs.
When did he start paying attention to this matter.
Just when she was about to raise her head, she heard an "ouch" sound.
Ge Kailin felt pain in the top of her head, but it was not him who cried out pain, but Ge Kailin.
As Ge Kailin spoke, he came directly behind Ge Kailin and lowered his head to look at the shawl.
When Ge Kailin raised her head, Ge Kailin was caught off guard and was hit in the chin by Ge Kailin.
Ge Kaiwen held his chin with one hand and gently rubbed the top of his sister's head with the other hand, and the two of them took a breath together.
Ge Kailin's eyes were full of tears and she complained: "Second brother, do you have nothing to do all day?
Why do you always follow me and don't need to warm up your books?"
Ge Kaiwen sneered: "You will benefit from studying if you have some relaxation, not to mention that my sister-in-law's participation in the competition is a major event in the family."
Hey, is this still the nerd who doesn't hear anything outside the window?
It seems that people just need to go out more and broaden their horizons.
No wonder my parents insisted on my second brother going to Shengcheng to study despite his young age.
Ge Kaiwu pulled Ge Kailin over, glared at the second brother who was hurting his sister, and coaxed: "Sister, don't cry.
The fifth brother has made fine charcoal pencils a few days ago and wanted to surprise his sister.
Today, the second brother offended my sister, and the fifth brother Let’s go see it with my sister, don’t cry.”
Ge Kailin was speechless.
She was crying.
It was clearly because she was in pain and couldn't help crying, or she was moved by Ge Kaiwu's love.
She happily followed Ge Kaiwu to see the fine charcoal pencils.
Ge Kaiwen was left with his chin in his hands.
He's in pain too, okay.
"Fifth brother, sister, I'm here.
Where are you going?
What is my sister holding in her hand?"
Ge Kailin held Ge Kaiwu's new pencil, and the brother and sister held hands and prepared to return to the main room together.
Ge Kaizhen rushed in and shouted when he saw the two of them.
Cathy Ge was followed behind.
"The fine charcoal pen is great.
I have a hard time reading medical books, and I find it troublesome to grind ink when writing comments.
This one just comes in handy.
This one belongs to me."
Ge Kaizhen handed the fine charcoal pen that Ge Kailin showed her to the maid behind her.
It’s not enough: “Sister, do you have any more?”
Ge Kaiwu was dissatisfied: "Fourth sister, you are too domineering.
I specially made this fine pen for my sister.
You took it away before my sister used it.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
How could you do that to your sister?"
Ge Kaizhen laughed: "Fifth brother, you think I don't know, how come you can only make one pen for your sister?
You are so skillful, even if you only made one pen this time, I will take it away and you can make it again." , I still care about this one.”
The two of them really grew up playing together.
Ge Kaizhen hit the spot, and Ge Kaiwu groaned angrily and turned his head to ignore her.
After getting new charcoal pens, Ge Kaizhen was in a good mood.
Her playful smile kept pestering Ge Kaiwu all the way.
She didn't give up until she got two more fine charcoal pens.
The work prepared by Cathy Ge is larger in size, with a picture of a shepherd on the front.
On the picture, a beautiful woman is driving the sheep with a whip.
Looking at the reverse side, there are two goats with their four corners touching each other, which is a picture of a sheep fight.
These two paintings were painted by Ge Li'e.
Cathy Ge used all her skills and just finished the embroidery yesterday.
Hearing that Ge Kaiwu was going to make a frame for Ge Li'e, Cathy Ge was moved and asked Ge Kaiwu to help her frame the work into a Kang screen.
Due to the talent competition, the rental area of the Ge family was full a few days ago, and people kept coming to ask.
Ge Tianyu could only express his helplessness.
After the lessons learned in the past, the order and security in the rental area in the north of the town have been greatly improved, and it has been full of guests in the past few days.
It is also a benefit for thoughtful residents to free up one or two rooms in their homes to rent to guests.
Those who came late had to rent houses in surrounding villages and towns so that they could arrive early on the day of the competition.
Mr.
Shi was so regretful these days that he beat his chest and beat his feet.
In just over a month, the land price in Liangping Town had doubled.
At that time, he was trying to blame the Ge family for something wrong, but he was obsessed with it and was tricked by Ge Tianyu into selling a piece of good land.
He originally thought that the Ge family would build houses on fertile land and expand their business in the rental area, but he did not expect that the Ge family built a wall around the outside of the land, and then there was no movement.
Mr.
Shi was so itchy that he sent someone to bribe the guards of the Ge family to find out why the farmland was fenced and for what purpose.
As a result, the person who bribed the guards was sent back to the Shi family directly by the guards, which made Mr.
Shi lose face.
At this point, Mr.
Shi was still unwilling to give in.
Hearing that the Ge family was buying people recently, he mixed his confidants in the market and tried to get the Ge family to buy them back.
In the blink of an eye, someone told him that his confidants had been resold to someone unknown. .
Competitors from other places came to Liangping Town one after another, and some small traders saw business opportunities and followed suit.
Ge Kailin pestered her parents to go out to play every day.
Her family knew that she was greedy for the food, so they followed her wishes and just sent more people to follow her.
Liu's mother asked Wu Limei for advice and trained the Liu Geng family to take over her duties as the housekeeper, while she served Ge Kailin.
"Mama Liu, I want to eat that fried dumpling."
"Miss Sixth, the second wife said that you will get angry after eating too much fried food."
"Mother Liu, is that a gourd?"
"Miss Sixth, you have already eaten one bunch today.
Eating more will not be good for your teeth."
"Mama Liu, I want to drink mutton bone soup."
"Sixth Miss, the weather is dry in autumn, how about we drink again after a while?"
Alas, although Ma Liu was considerate to me, she was just as bad as she thought too much about food.
After a few times, Ge Kailin became depressed and not very talkative.

Mother Liu couldn't bear it and asked Kailin: "Is the Sixth Miss bored?"
Ge Kailin shook his head: "Life is about eating and drinking.
If you can't eat this, you can't eat that.
What's the point of living?"
Mother Liu couldn't laugh or cry.
Miss Six was so young.
How could she come up with such strange remarks?
Her tone sounded like Mrs.
Wu.
She couldn't help but laugh and asked: "What does Miss Six want to eat?"
Ge Kailin was frustrated, I want to eat everything, but even if I say it, you still won’t be verbose.
A voice came from the side: "Miss Sixth, there is a wonton stall in front of me.
I can eat it.
Do you want to give it a try?"
Ge Kailin was surprised.
This guy with a paralyzed face appeared out of nowhere, followed by the little guy who never seemed to grow up.
There are too many people on the street and the carriage cannot move.
Ge Kailin is small and her legs and feet are not flexible.
Every day when she goes out for a walk, Shui Yue and Shui Jue take turns to hold or carry her.
Liu's mother also wants to hold her, but she is older after all.
Now, Ge Kailin was a little girl again.
Mother Liu couldn't walk a few steps while holding her, so she handed her over to Shuiyue again.
Shuiyue's height has grown tremendously in the past two years.
She is only eight years old, but she looks like she is twelve or thirteen years old.
Ge Kailin sat on Shuiyue's shoulders and took advantage of her advantage to look around the street.
She did not remember seeing Xu Xiang.
Mother Liu has become accustomed to Xu Xiang's presence in the Ge family.
Although Xu Xiang is not from the Ge family, he reports to the Ge family every day.
He treats his own home as a hotel, and his home is just a place to sleep at night.
Even so, when Xu Xiang talked to Ge Kailin like this on the street, Liu's mother still felt that Xu Xiang was a bit abrupt.
She immediately stood in front of Shui Yue and separated Xu Xiang from her sixth daughter.
Ge Kailin didn't care about this, pulled Liu's mother away and asked: "Where is the wonton stall?"
"I'll take you there."
Xu Xiang said and just turned away.
The wonton stall is set up on the edge of a small river.
In recent years, Liangping Town has become prosperous and the town has continued to expand.
The small river that was originally a little far away from the town is now surrounded by the town.
The owner of the wonton stall may have arrived too late and did not get a good stall, so he had to set up his stall by the river.
The wonton sellers are an elderly couple.
The old man is very agile in wrapping, cooking and serving wontons.
The old wife has a staggering gait and is only responsible for putting away the bowls, and she only works with her right hand.
Her left arm seems to be fixed, bent forward and pressed against her abdomen.
Her right hand is not flexible.
She only puts away one pair of bowls and chopsticks at a time, and she hugs her tightly.
Hold on for fear of falling to the ground.

While I was working, I would tell my wife from time to time to be careful and not to fall.
When I had a little spare time, I would take care of everything myself.
The long table in front of the stall is connected by two low tables, with benches on both sides.
If they sit loosely, at least four people can sit on each side.
Ge Kailin and her party arrived at the wonton stall and ordered a few bowls of wontons first.
Since there were no empty seats, they stood and waited for other customers to finish.
Shi Liang arrived at the wonton stall surrounded by several servants.
The servants drove away the customers who were eating wontons.
Shi Liang sat swaggering in the middle of the bench.
The servants stood behind Shi Liang, staring at passers-by.
The old couple didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly ordered wontons for Shi Liang.
Ge Kailin was disgusted and wanted to leave, but she was worried that the old couple would be bullied by Shi Liang, so she stayed where she was to see what would happen next
