Chu Yiyao returned to Chu's house, Mrs. Cheng was chatting with her sister-in-law in the side hall, and when she saw Chu Yiyao coming in, Mrs. Cheng smiled and asked Cheng Shaopeng to go out with her, "Yiyao, I have something to discuss with your sister-in-law, you and Shao Peng haven't seen each other for a long time, go for a walk in the garden." ”

Chu Yiyao glanced at her sister-in-law, and walked out with Cheng Shaopeng one after the other.

Speechless all the way, the two of them walked to the small garden of the Chu family, Chu Yiyao stopped and looked back at him, and said calmly, "Brother Cheng, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first." ”

"Yiyao, are you angry with me?" Cheng Shaopeng opened his mouth at this time, his face was tired, his eyes were a little dark, he hadn't been able to rest well in the past few days when he came back, and after kneeling in the ancestral hall for two days, he followed Mrs. Cheng to Chu's house.

"Why should I be mad at you?" Chu Yiyao smiled, her tone was faint, Cheng Shaopeng just looked at her fixedly, even if she stood like this, Cheng Shaopeng felt that the person in front of her was far from the one he was familiar with in the past, Chu Yiyao, who would stick to himself and keep calling him brother, was now looking at him so coldly, without joy or sorrow.

Cheng Shaopeng felt lost for no reason, how could her emotions be so calm at the moment.

"Today's mother is here to discuss marriage at the Chu family." Half-loud, Cheng Shaopeng said, trying to see a touch of emotion on her face, even a flash of surprise and surprise.

"Then Mrs. Cheng should be looking for the second aunt, and the cousin's marriage sister-in-law can't be the master." Chu Yiyao didn't react, it was just a thing that had nothing to do with her, you marry your wife, and I will live my life.

"It's with your relatives, you forgot that we had a marriage contract since we were children?" Cheng Shaopeng blurted out and took her hand, "At that time, I didn't set my family affairs at a young age." ”

"I haven't forgotten." Chu Yiyao frowned slightly, and withdrew her hand, "You and your cousin are in love, and you don't need to mention this marriage contract now." ”

"The marriage contract between me and you was made by Uncle Chu and my father, and I should fulfill it, I can marry you first and then marry Miaoluo, Jinling also has a flat wife, and it is not a grievance for you to pass the door first." Looking at the sincerity of what Cheng Shaopeng said, Chu Yiyao couldn't help it this time, can he still hear more funny words from Cheng Shaopeng's mouth, how to enter the door of their Cheng family is a gift, in order to fulfill the decision that his father said back then, he reluctantly married her, and he is also a big wife, compared to the cousin who entered the door later, he is not wronged at all.

"Father and mother have passed away, so there is no need to count what they said, Brother Cheng, you don't have to fulfill your promise, and I won't blame you and my cousin." Chu Yiyao took a deep breath, even if she pretended to be wronged, she couldn't give up halfway, otherwise how could she make the person in front of her feel guilty.

She didn't want to marry the person in front of her at all, but forgive her for not having such a good demeanor, she could block them, she Chu Yiyao definitely burned the fire and added it to it, and she would never be soft.

"Yiyao, you." Cheng Shaopeng remembered what his father said before leaving, his eyes were a little complicated, Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu have always been very fond of Yiyao, and they must have prepared a rich dowry for her a long time ago, could it be that he married her for these things.

"Brother Cheng, you don't have to say it anymore, I will never agree to this family business." Chu Yiyao interrupted him, turned around and left after calmly speaking.

Cheng Shaopeng was still immersed in that memory, about him and her, as well as about him and Chu Miaoluo.

"Shao Peng." The poignant voice sounded behind him, Cheng Shaopeng turned around, Chu Miaoluo stood behind him thinly, the person was much thinner, with tears in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly at him, his eyes were real.

With just this glance, the infinite care in Cheng Shaopeng's heart began to cause trouble again, the people in front of him suffered thousands of fingers for him, hanged himself for him, gambled for him for a lifetime and eloped away from home, and now he is haggard for others, and a thousand words are only told in this eye.

Chu Yiyao stood on the edge of the arch and looked back, these two people were really a good match...

In the side hall, no matter what Mrs. Cheng said, Qiao Cong'an always smiled calmly and agreed, bypassing and bypassing the matter of marriage that she had repeatedly mentioned.

"I see that they are not young, it is better to settle this marriage as soon as possible, and wait for Yiyao and Lu to come over earlier, I have watched her grow up since childhood, and I love her as much as Yilin." Mrs. Cheng mentioned again, Qiao Cong'an looked at the door, and Xiao's voice came.

Mrs. Cheng's expression changed, and Qiao Cong'an explained gently with a smile, "Yiyao's marriage doesn't worry about Mrs. Cheng, I can't do this Miaoluo's marriage, you still have to discuss it with the second aunt, this sister serves a husband, the Cheng family doesn't mind, our Chu family really can't afford to lose this person." ”

Mrs. Cheng still wanted to say something, Xiao had already come in, Qiao Cong'an immediately smiled and invited Xiao to sit next to him, "Second aunt, Mrs. Cheng came to discuss marriage, Miaoluo's marriage is still up to you and your second uncle, I will invite you over, you say slowly, I still have something to do, Qing'er, you stay here and greet Mrs. Cheng." ”

Qiao Cong'an directly left the side hall to Xiao and Mrs. Cheng, and he went out in the direction of Yifeng Courtyard, and when he passed through the garden, he happened to see Cheng Shaopeng and Chu Miaoluo standing there, and from her point of view, the two people next to the covered tree seemed to be hugging each other.

Qiao Cong'an only glanced at this, a trace of anger flashed on her gentle face, she is a person who rarely gets angry, but these things done by the Cheng family and the second aunt are too much, the Cheng family's wishful thinking is good, and they can't push the two to marry together, thinking about the old love or the Chu family, and each of them is very clear in their hearts. But how can you do that.

Qiao Cong'an called the person behind him and whispered a few words, and without looking at the garden again, he walked towards Yifeng Courtyard...

After Mrs. Cheng left, this matter seemed to fall into silence, until half a month later, the merchant ship of the Chu family returned, Chu Hanlin learned of this, and took the Xiao family to the Cheng family, and when he came back, the marriage of Chu Miaoluo and Cheng Shaopeng was so given, and the date was set in May.

But for Chu Yiyao, all this is not in a hurry, in the previous life, it was only a few months from the time they got married, no matter how the situation develops, how the process changes, the signature of the marriage temple on Xiangshan has never changed, and Chu Miaoluo will eventually marry Cheng Shaopeng. It is precisely because of the haste of the marriage and the unprepared wedding dress that the wedding dress prepared for her to marry Cheng Shaopeng will be worn on Chu Miaoluo's body, and after sending her fiancé, she will also give the wedding dress and then the dowry, and let her marry out of the Chu family in a beautiful manner.

In those short twenty years, especially those ten years, she is not a model figure who failed to live.

"Miss, the second uncle is waiting for you outside." Bao Sheng shouted several times before she came back to her senses, Chu Yiyao put down the booklet in her hand and walked to the shop, and the second uncle Xing Jianguo took a few lists in his hand and ordered the guys to deliver them.

"Second uncle, you send your grandmother away, I won't go, I'll leave it to me here." Chu Yiyao took over the list from the second master of the punishment, Xing Wenyu's injury has been raised, the old lady of the punishment is afraid that the bumps on the road are not suitable for recovery, and she will not leave until now, that is, the injury is not good, otherwise they may cause something.

"Here are two hundred taels of silver, you give it to your grandmother, just say that it is a little bit of heart, sister-in-law and us." Chu Yiyao asked Bao Sheng to give the silver to the second master, "Be careful on the road." ”

When he went to the door to send the second master away, Chu Yiyao ordered the goods clearly, and asked the guys to send them to various restaurants, and the Heichuan concocted at home a few days ago sold even better than the previous one, that is, it was a coincidence, Chu Yiyao concocted a secret recipe of Heichuan by himself, and it became the signboard in the shop.

"It's almost, go to the embroidery building to have a look." After settling the list with the steward in the shop, Chu Yiyao took Baosheng to the embroidery building, not far from the shop, and it was only a tea time to walk over, so Chu Yiyao took Baosheng and walked slowly.

The noon sun was very comfortable, Chu Yiyao walked past a jewelry shop, someone called her name, shouted to stop her, looked back, Cheng Yilin ran out of the jewelry shop and ran to her, grabbed her hand, and looked at her with an aggrieved face.

"What's the matter, it's not nice to see me?" Chu Yiyao pinched her nose, looked up and saw Cheng Shaopeng and Chu Miaoluo coming out of it, and Chu Miaofei on the side.

"Of course I'm happy, but, Sister Yiyao, why don't you want to marry your eldest brother, you want you to be my sister-in-law." Cheng Yilin was coquettish, and the well-intentioned people around knew that there was another good show when they saw the identities of these people, and they pretended to come to the jewelry store to try to hear what they were saying.

"Brother Cheng already has someone he likes, and he is about to get married, your sister-in-law is her, don't talk nonsense." Chu Yiyao smiled and coaxed, and pointed at Chu Miaoluo, without the slightest dislike on her face.

Cheng Yilin's mouth deflated when she heard this, "Why, it's obvious that you and your brother have a marriage contract, why aren't you my sister-in-law, why is she." The child was very unreasonable when he made trouble, Cheng Yilin pointed at Chu Miaoluo, and her tone was quite dissatisfied, as if Chu Miaoluo had occupied the magpie's nest, full of hostility.

"Yilin, don't mess around!" Cheng Shaopeng scolded with a calm face, Cheng Yilin was even more aggrieved by his yelling, and immediately looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Big brother, you actually yelled at me for her." ”

The eldest young master of the Cheng family, who had a very good reputation in the past, is now notorious, she Chu Yiyao is aggrieved, and Chu Miaoluo in the rumors was deceived in the end, which young master of the family would be so brainless, like to this extent, he directly abducted people, and Chu Yiyao's credit in this regard, if she really became a concubine, wouldn't it be as Madam Cheng's wish, she wanted to marry a daughter-in-law who was in the right household, so she didn't let her get her wish.

"Yilin, you can't say that in the future, Brother Cheng and Sister Miaoluo are lovers and eventually become married, and you want to marry the person you like when you grow up in the future, right?" A good person did it to the end, Chu Yiyao wiped Cheng Yilin's tears and coaxed softly, and then looked up at Cheng Shaopeng, "Brother Cheng, Yilin is still young and ignorant, you can't be so fierce to her, in this way, my cousin will be difficult to do." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Miaoluo, who tightened the handkerchief in his hand and smiled a little far-fetched.

"Hey, young master of the Cheng family, you are willing not to marry such a good girl." Suddenly there was a loud noise from the crowd of onlookers, and a big man with five thick feet sat on the cart and shouted at this side.

Everyone laughed, and I don't know which one directly explained to him, "You don't know, there is a beautiful girl standing next to them." The five-coarse man patted the grain bag on the cart and looked at what they said, and when he saw Chu Miaoluo, his old coarse brows frowned, and he shook his head at the moment, "No, my mother has to serve her so thin, and she can't even hold a chicken, so she doesn't like it!" ”

When did Chu Miaoluo grow up to be so old and insulted by such a rough man in the countryside, she immediately cried angrily, Chu Miaofei protected her sister and shouted at the big man, "Who likes you like you, don't talk nonsense here." After speaking, he pulled Chu Miaoluo to go back.

"It doesn't matter if I don't like it, I can marry a daughter-in-law when I sell my grain and go home, marry a big and sturdy person who can give birth and raise her, and can also cook and warm my bed for me." The five rough men said happily, and the people around them laughed, and Chu Miaoluo walked faster when he heard it, and directly got into the carriage and urged him to leave quickly.

"Uncle, then I wish you find a wishful daughter-in-law as soon as possible." Chu Yiyao had a smile on the corner of her mouth, withdrew her gaze from the carriage, and said to the big man crisply.

"I love to hear this, girl, I can't speak in the country, and with the girl's face, she will be a great blessing in the future!" The big man smiled and had a touch of embarrassment on his face, and said good things.

"That's borrowing Uncle Jiyan." Chu Yiyao's smile was sincere, and the sparkle in his eyes under the sun was something Cheng Shaopeng had never seen.

She was shining in front of his eyes, he couldn't chase it at all, people said, what you can't get is the best, at this moment Cheng Shaopeng is exactly this portrayal in his heart, what is unprovoked is not only the words that others laughed at just now, but also Chu Yiyao's refusal, the Chu family's refusal, is there a better choice than his family?

If Yiyao was unreasonable, crying at him, or accusing him and Chu Miaoluo in every way, these could make Cheng Shaopeng feel better, but she didn't, she just fulfilled them with such tolerance, and blessed them with a smile.

And it was such a smile that has been stationed in Cheng Shaopeng's heart since then, and it will linger for the rest of his life, even after Yi Yao got married, he still thinks about it from time to time, and remembers the decision that made him so annoyed...
