Chapter 176 Chance Encounter
Chapter 176 Chance Encounter
"Sir, please get up. There is no one else in the mansion." Although Su Jinyu said this, she still felt a little unhappy.
"I will still kneel here and wait." Xiao Jue's heart had already flown to the wine, but he couldn't get up immediately. The general's mansion must have some resentment in his heart.
"What are you waiting for, my lord?" a handsome man walked over slowly and asked.
"Xi'er" Su Jinyu spoke up to stop
The person who came was Wen Jiu's brother Wen Xi, who was born to the same mother as him. Xiao Jue saw that his brother-in-law had a bad face, and he understood something. After all, it was his own choice and it was difficult to say it out loud. If he didn't say it, they wouldn't know. This road to marrying a wife was really bumpy and tortuous...
At this time, the tall and sturdy old general stood up. Seeing him like this, he did not say anything to embarrass him. He just said "Get up" and took him directly to the courtyard where they were warming the wine and recuperating.
Xiao Jue stood up and followed closely behind without delaying for a moment. He glanced at Wen Xi, who rolled her eyes at him.
"Come in!" It was the voice of the wine being warmed, sounding a little tired.
Xiao Jue came in with a bramble on his back, the thorns on the bramble had pierced his skin and flesh, and he was half naked. He knelt in front of the old general and the old lady, looking like he was at the mercy of the generals, which angered Su Jinxiu's "hypocritical"
"You'd better get up, my prince! Jiu'er has told us that this is also your strategy, but this is not a long-term battle. I still don't want Jiu'er to marry into a family where she will be involved in intrigues every day because of Miss Bai's matter. If you really like her, it's not impossible to take her into the palace in the future. When your situation is established, you can part ways with her. But I'm afraid there is no room for negotiation on the matter of marrying into the palace on the same day as Jiu'er." The old general said earnestly, his words showing his love for his granddaughter and his helplessness towards the imperial power.
After all, if she doesn't marry Xiao Jue, she will definitely have to enter the royal family, which is a bloody hole that eats people.
Xiao Jue heard the old general say this, there was a trace of disbelief in his eyes, she even chose a way out for him? Ha, this is really an excellent partner, he laughed, Wenjiu, Wenjiu, you are really good, you have calculated him to pieces, I obviously don't want to marry him, now you are wronging him, to be exact, it's not wronged, who let him have a handle, drag her into the water
"Please rest assured, she will not suffer any grievances after she gets married. I have no feelings for Miss Bai at all. Those are just a trick to deceive the outside world. I am very sorry for what happened today. I didn't know they were going to find Wen Jiu." He only knew about it when Qingfeng reported it to him when they just met in the restaurant.
"Well, it's up to you! As long as she is the Crown Prince's Consort, I don't want you to flirt with any woman, even pretending. I'm sure the Crown Prince can do it. I'm different from this old man and all of them. I just want her to be happy, and in the future..." The old lady was interrupted.
"Grandma, I am very happy every day, don't worry, no one can bully me," Wen Jiu said with a smile
Yes, whoever dares to bully you will be killed at least. Xiao Jue thought to himself:
"Qingfeng, help the prince up and go back! You have seen it, and you know what to do." Wenjiu was unhappy and drove them away, trying to pull her into the water, but there was no way, humph.
"Yes" Qingfeng helped Xiao Jue up, and Xiao Jue looked at everyone
"Go back, your marriage is imminent, and I hope you won't let this general misjudge you." The old general looked at him.
"Yes, I will not let you down." Xiao Jue bowed and turned to leave, putting away his smile. He gritted his teeth, his facial lines were like sculptures, his masseter muscles were prominent, his eyes were frivolous, narrowed into a line, and his whole body was colder than this damn weather, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Qingfeng did not dare to say much. This was probably one of the few times that the master was angry.
"Return Home"
Wen Jiu followed Xiao Jue's gaze and said: You know how disgusting your terrible father and your troublesome concubine are, right? Humph, if it weren't for your father, she wouldn't go. It also tells them indirectly that even though she is weak, she is not someone who can be bullied by everyone.
As for how Xiao Jue handles this matter, it depends on him. The wedding date is approaching, and she has to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and wait for her marriage. I heard that her cheap father has been making connections everywhere these days, making a lot of noise.
She has to go back and give it a beating so as not to ruin her business.
"Grandma, Grandpa, my brother and I will go back first,"
"It's time to go back. The wedding is coming soon. I'll give this to you first. The next time we meet will probably be your wedding day. Have you found your lucky man?" The old lady was still worried about her affairs.
"Xiao Jue said to leave everything to him. He originally wanted to take care of his grandmother, but he was afraid that he would tire her out." Wen Jiu had the same idea as Xiao Jue.
"I'm not tired, I'm not afraid, just let me do it, dear. I couldn't comb your mother's hair at that time, so this has fulfilled my wish." The old lady caressed her head lovingly and looked at her kindly. Her eyes seemed to have some magic power, causing Wen Jiu to agree. Happy wrinkles accumulated on the old woman's face, her eyes were bright and energetic.
..........
They don't care about the messages outside, they just wait for the wedding day...
Wen Xi in the carriage looked at Wen Jiu lovingly. She was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, not caring about worldly matters. Although she had some skills, she was not good enough in front of Xiao Jue. If, if something happened in the future, what would his originally weak sister do? Suddenly, his face was filled with worry.
"Are you worried that I won't have a good life after I get married?"
Wen Xi was shocked by Wen Jiu's words
"Don't worry, I won't let myself suffer any loss. If I am wronged, I will divorce you. Can you support me then?" Wen Jiu winked mischievously.
"Of course I can. Don't worry. Even if you don't get married now, you can still raise your brother until he's old." Wen Xi waved her long gown.
"I am not afraid anymore after hearing your words. Don't worry, I really mean it when I say I have no feelings for him. We will be treated with respect after I marry him. When we get divorced, the royal family will not make plans against me. No one can use me to control the general's mansion anymore." Wen Jiu said as he lifted the curtain and looked outside. He turned around and asked, "Has the governor's carriage been sent back?"
"Well, just as we arrived, my cousin sent someone to take it there."
"By the way, why did you and Du Gong appear in Xiaoyao Tower today?" Wen Jiu hadn't heard from Gu Xiao for a long time. What was the purpose of the three of them getting together this time?
"My cousin and I originally wanted to form a caravan and go to the Western Regions to buy cotton. It's too expensive in Beijing and ordinary people can hardly afford it. I want to collect it from the Western Regions and lower the price if it's right. At least next winter, many people will be able to afford it." Wen Xi was talking about his fantasy, not noticing the slight change in Wen Jiu's face.
"Brother, how did you come up with this? How did you know that there are in the Western Regions?" Could it be that Chu Tunan said this? Speaking of which, she really hasn't done anything substantial in all the time she's been here, except for getting smallpox vaccinations, farming, weaving, sowing, building grain warehouses, etc.
Let's wait until she gets married before we discuss this. Things will be settled gradually and everything will be arranged.
