The matter of the Chi family was spread in Beijing, and within three days, even Ripple knew about it. Ripple was wearing a moon-white collared orchid embroidered dress, a crimson printed shawl, playing with a chrysanthemum cup with Jin Su Triumph Ear in her hand, and a hairpin with eight treasures hanging beads on her head. ”

Ripple rubbed his eyes: "What's the matter?" "She has been asking about the second room for a long time since the last time she pretended to be a ghost to scare Ji Lianhui, and now her father has a taboo about the second room, and the second brother's opinion of the second room seems to be bigger than that of her father, so you don't have to worry about what moths the second room can toss, and it has always been at the same level and status that can be called an opponent, and the second room has long been excluded.

Qiu Tong said: "I listened to the old lady's sister Ruizhu. Na Ruizhu is the only personal girl in front of Lao Tiantian, and she is the "daughter of the family" in Jifu for several generations. The old lady can't leave her for a moment, although she is now nearly twenty years old, but the old lady is reluctant to marry her, and wants to stay for another two years. The heart has always been very high, if it weren't for Qiu Tong's bright eyes and her blue eyes, where could Qiu Tong mention anything.

Qiu Tong is now sixteen, wearing a lake blue embroidered bamboo leaf jacket, a white round-neck shirt, a moon white embroidered plum blossom pleated skirt, and her face is very delicate and beautiful, and she said very neatly: "It was the Chi family who forced the Hang family sister to death, and the whole city shouted that the reputation of the Hang family sister was ruined. The third girl is afraid that life will not be easy. ”

Ripples gradually came to their senses, Chi Yu and Ji Lianhui are really a pair of best.

Ripple asked again: "Then why did you come to the old lady?" ”

"Now that things are shouting, Brother Chi said that the third girl has been tired of his reputation, and he begs Lao Taitian to be the master of the marriage!"

Ripple gasped: "He really dares to think!" ”

Qiu Tong was unconvinced and said: "No, it's cheaper for the third girl, such a vicious person, I almost hurt the girl at the beginning." ”

Ripple took a bite of the rich plum blossom cake on the table, and said: "Even if she marries Chiyu, she will not have a good time in the future." "Since Chiyu came to ask his grandmother, it must be that his parents did not agree, so he reluctantly took this path, a daughter-in-law who was disgusted by her parents-in-law before marriage, where can she have a better life in the future? Besides, Chi Yu forced the newlywed wife to hang herself, and when she turned around, she could ask another woman for marriage, so where could such a person who had no responsibility be a good match?

The two talked idly for a while, and Ripple asked her grandmother what her attitude was, but Qiu Tong only said that she didn't know for the time being. Ripple thought that the second brother was coming back, she wanted the second brother's pair of stone lion paperweights, so she washed her face and went to the second brother's yard.

But I didn't want to, and I ran into someone on the road.

Ji Suyan came to the Yajia family today, but he ran into Cheng Junlin, the prince of the Qinghe Palace, and he did have dealings with him in previous official affairs, but he couldn't reach Cheng Dù who drank together with his shoulders and backs.

Cheng Junlin hooked a pair of smiling eyes and grabbed the reins of Ji Suyan's horse, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Brother Ji for many days, and I have nothing to do today, why don't we go and drink together?" ”

"My wife and children are waiting at home, so I won't go today."

"That's just right, why don't you go straight to your house?"

Ji Su proverb on horseback: "......"

Cheng Junlin said with a smile: "Let's go." ”

Ji Suyan: "......"

After getting the Hou Mansion, Cheng Junlin's momentum was scattered, and he was already hot-headed for a while, and when he saw Ji Suyan, he thought of Ji Lianyi, and now that he is really here, he is a little timid, but who is he, his mind changed in an instant.

Swaggering in the Hou Mansion walking, in the blink of an eye, a little girl in a white dress and red shawl appeared in front of her, she should be twelve now, combed with a double-ring bun, and a hanging bead hairpin was inserted on her head, not as calm as when she was outside, walking around, turning her head to talk to the girl, the red beads hanging down from the hairpin swayed, fascinating people's eyes.

Ripple turned his head and saw Cheng Junlin walking in front of him, with his brother on the side, standing aside with his head down, and making a blessing salute.

Watching the person gradually walk away, he exhaled lightly, and for some reason, every time I saw him, I always felt nervous.

I didn't go to the second brother's yard anymore, so I pulled Qiu Tong and walked into the garden.

Ji Queque and Ji Xiaobai were having fun in the garden, Brother Zhe loved these two little guys very much, and gave them their surnames.

When the two little guys saw the ripples, their eyes immediately widened, and they rushed over excitedly to grab the ripples' legs. The ripples are bound to make a move to the ground and play with them.

Ji Xiaobai has been in good health since he was a child, not only loves to eat fish, but also likes to eat meat and rice, but Ji Que is different, his teeth are not good, his stomach is not good, he will have diarrhea when he eats steamed buns in the morning and changes the rice in the afternoon, and he can't chew when he eats ribs, he has to tear the meat into small pieces before he is willing to eat, the first time he sees it eat meat, a piece of beef is full of small tooth marks, and he has not bitten off a piece, if he is torn, he can swallow it.

Ji Xiaobai licked his legs to the ripples and licked his paws quietly. Ji Queque fluttered, scratching and biting Xiaobai's tail, Ji Xiaobai didn't care about it, shaking his tail to tease it.

He stayed in the garden for an hour, and when it was getting dark, a figure appeared in front of him.

Ripple looked up, first saw a pair of soap boots with a black face and white soles, then an azure brocade robe, and then saw the man, with a long figure and a long body.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and she looks even better.

Cheng Junlin walked in front of her, looked at the girl beside Ripples, was silent for a moment, and said to Qiu Tong: "You go down first!" ”

Ripple's eyes widened: "This is the Hou Mansion, this is the girl of the Hou Mansion." ”

Cheng Junlin didn't care: "Let her go down, Ah Sheng, you go down too." ”

Ripple was helpless, after all, this was the benefactor who had saved him several times, and said to Qiu Tong: "You go over there for a while." ”

At this time, there was no one else in this place except for these few people, the breeze was gusting, and the fragrance of flowers hit people.

The two, one was dipped and the other sat on the ground, and they were silent for a moment, and after a while, Cheng Junlin was suddenly excited, and said to Ripples: "Ji Ripples!" I love you! ”

Boom, something exploded in the bottom of my heart. Ripple looked at him, indescribably shocked, in all these years of life, no one had ever said such a thing to her, with a stomach full of questions, Ripple was stunned, and was speechless for a while.

Cheng Junlin saw that she was silent for a long time, and said that she agreed with what she said, and couldn't help but be excited, in order to keep eye level with Ripples, squatted down/leaned over, looked into her eyes, and continued: "I like you and want you to be my wife." ”

Ripple choked, staring at her with wide eyes, he was so close, his breath was so close.

Cheng Junlin thought that she encouraged herself, and continued to tell Ripples a lot of words about love, while he loved Ripples, but the deep-rooted rebellion of the person who had been in the position for a long time was deeply revealed, and the language of his confession was beautiful and affectionate, but it was not difficult to hear that he had a strong sense of superiority over himself as the next prince of Qinghe Palace.

Ripples listened to him start with "If it is like the moon ring and finally bright, do not hesitate to ice and snow for the heat", but end with "In the future, your child will be the next son of Qinghe Palace", he laid a luring pie in front of her, just waiting for her to be greedy for power, take a step forward, and catch it all.

Although Ripple had never been exposed to such words, it was undeniable that he really couldn't be indifferent when he first heard it, but his next words made Ripple laugh angrily, how could there be such an arrogant person, and what about the demotion of the Hou Mansion? How rare is it for him to run to the boudoir girl's house and say such a tirade, what does he think he has done?

Ripple blushed and shouted angrily: "Dengzi, this is the Hou Mansion!" "It's not a place for you to splash at will" Who taught you the rules, saying such things to other people's girls, did the etiquette, righteousness and shame eat into the dog's stomach? What about hereditary succession? What about a downgraded knight? The title left by your ancestors is not something you worked hard for, if you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and come back, I still have to admire you, now like this, it really makes people look down on you. ”

Cheng Junlin's body was slightly bent and half-squatted on the ground, he couldn't help but straighten his back when he heard the words, his eyes stared at the ripples and couldn't stop looking at it, he was angry and surprised, no one had ever said such a thing to him, it was extremely fresh. He tried his best to hide the anger in his heart, tried to pretend to be calm, and looked at the little girl in front of him, and his previous confidence was gone. After being silent for a long time, he only asked: "Is it good to marry into the palace?" I won't take a concubine, I will only have you, isn't it every girl's dream to have a couple for a lifetime? I married you and gave birth to a child, I just treat you and the child well, and respect each other from now on, do you still have or not? He really couldn't understand that his stepmother had selected countless girls for him to be in the boudoir, just to see if he nodded or not, and whether the other party was still happy or not?

Ripple said quietly: "When you first understand how to respect each other and learn not to talk casually about children and wives, I think you can understand what I said today." At this moment, her expression did not look like a twelve-year-old girl at all, and her face was calm and reminded Cheng Junlin of her dead mother. Only people who don't take marriage seriously will put sweet words on their lips at every turn, it is true that his confession is justified, but life is never a mouth that can be lived.

Cheng Junlin listened to her words, still a little unclear, but finally collected his thoughts, stood up, and tried his best to face his sweetheart's rejection calmly, and then, strode out of the garden.

Ripple thought, this person has always been arrogant, and now he is cruelly rejected by himself, and he is afraid that he will never see him again.

Qiu Tong hurriedly ran over, she stood far away, and couldn't hear what the two said, but the ripples seemed to have exhausted all the strength of her body, and shouted Qiu Tong: "Pull me up." "Her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up.
