Chapter 253: Aftermath (2)
I haven't seen her for a few months, Cao Ying has lost some weight, her chin is pointed, and her eyes are bright. Wearing plain clothes, he has more and more charming charm.
When he saw Xu Zheng and Xu Jinyu, Cao Ying's white and elegant face floated with a gentle smile, first called out to Sister Xu, and then raised his eyes to look at Xu Zheng, but he didn't know what to call it for a while.
Calling Xu Gongzi seems too rusty. The two already had a marriage contract, and after such a thing, she was even more determined to not marry him
Cao Ying plucked up his courage and opened his mouth to shout, "Brother Xu." ”
In just three words, Xu Zheng, who has always been calm and composed, was enthusiastic and heartbeat, and subconsciously responded: "Sister Cao, why did you suddenly come here today?" ”
Cao Ying stared at Xu Zheng and said softly: "You politely rejected the emperor's good intentions at the Jinluan Palace yesterday and refused to be Princess Anning's concubine. My dad knew about it. The eldest brother and the second brother were timid, and they were worried that I would suffer if I married you in the future, and wanted to persuade my father and mother to withdraw from the marriage for me. ”
Xu Zheng took a breath and unconsciously became nervous: "What about your mind?" ”
Cao Yingqiao's face flushed, but she did not avoid Xu Zheng's gaze, and her voice was soft and firm: "I told them that I will not withdraw from the marriage." In this life, I will not marry you! Father and mother, they were all persuaded by me, and allowed me to come to see you today. ”
"Brother Xu, no matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you."
Thick and thin, live and die together!
The last eight words, Cao Ying did not speak, but they were revealed in her gentle and firm gaze.
Xu Zheng's mood was agitated, and he couldn't help stepping forward and holding Cao Ying's hand: "Sister Cao"
This day and night was actually not easy for Xu Zheng. He was outwardly calm. In fact, my heart is chaotic and worried. Cao Ying's arrival moved him very much.
Beauty is loved! To marry such a woman, what more could a husband ask for!
Everything he did was worth it.
Cao Ying was held tightly by him. His cheeks were stained with a touching flush, but he did not retract his hand.
Xu Jinyu stood aside, looking at this pair of affectionate young men and women, feeling both relieved and happy. After a while, seeing that the two were still shaking hands and looking at each other, they couldn't help coughing and laughing: "Big brother, lead Sister Cao in to talk first!" Mother is still waiting! ”
This is the gate of the Zou family. It's not appropriate to stage a scene of you and me here.
Xu Zheng and Cao Ying blushed and let go
Cao Ying didn't stay in the Xu family for long. When I met Zou, I said a few words of homely gossip and did not stay for lunch. Soon he got up and took his leave.
Zou wanted to send Cao Ying in person, but was pulled by Xu Jinyu.
Xu Jinyu winked at the Zou family, and said to Xu Zheng again: "Big brother, you send one to Sister Cao." ”
Only then did Zou react. Cao Ying is here today. There must be some whispers I want to say to Xu Zheng. What's the matter with her caught in the middle! Zou Shi hurriedly smiled: "I happen to be a little tired. I won't send it to you. ”
In the encouraging eyes of his mother's sister, Xu Zheng got up and sent Cao Ying out.
From the inner hall to the door, it is only a short distance. Both of them slowed down, and the maids took a few steps behind in amusement, so that the two of them could whisper.
Cao Ying is gentle and dignified, Xu Zheng also abides by etiquette, and the two do not have any out-of-the-ordinary behavior. Only when the eyes meet, will there be affection.
Cao Ying asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu." Have you seen that Princess Anning? ”
"When I lived in Weining Hou, Princess An Ning once came to the Hou Mansion. So I met her a few times. Xu Zheng replied calmly: "However, she and I have never been alone in private. ”
"I heard that Princess An Ning is playful, cute and beautiful, and she is fond of you. Have you never been tempted? No matter how open-minded a woman is, she is not exempt from vulgarity, and she always wants to know if her sweetheart has moved her heart for other women.
Xu Zheng stopped and looked at Cao Ying beside him, looking focused and serious: "I don't want to hide it from you." In fact, I have long sensed that Princess An Ning seems to be interested in me. If I had moved my heart, or had the intention of climbing the dragon and the phoenix, I would not have waited until today. Yesterday, the emperor gave me a marriage, and I could have agreed to the emperor's marriage. ”
"Ah Ying, from the first time I saw you, I secretly liked you. No other woman can get into my eyes anymore. No matter how noble her status is, it has nothing to do with me. ”
The young man's gaze was enthusiastic and fiery, and his words were even more direct and intense.
Cao Ying's heart almost turned into a pool of warm spring water, and she raised her eyes to look at Xu Zheng: "Brother Xu, I'm waiting for you to marry me." ”
Xu Zheng nodded without hesitation: "Okay, when you are out of the filial piety period, we will get married." ”
Zou and Xu Jinyu waited for a long time before Xu Zheng came back.
Xu Jinyu joked with a smile: "Such a short road has been sent for so long." ”
Xu Zheng was a little surprised, but his handsome face regained his former confidence and radiance: "You are embarrassed to make fun of me." Every time Chen Yuanzhao came, he had to be cheeky for a long time before he was willing to leave. Ah Yingke just sat down for a moment and left. ”
Xu Jinyu didn't blush, and responded back with a smile: "I changed my mouth so quickly, it's really affectionate." ”
The two brothers and sisters are arguing back and forth, and Zou is watching from the sidelines, laughing happily. Because of the shadow caused by Xu Zheng's refusal to marry, it has quietly dispersed a lot.
Steward Zhao personally came to report: "Miss, lunch has been set." ”
Zou smiled and hummed: "Zheng'er, Jinniang, let's go have lunch." ”
Xu Zheng and Xu Jinyu each smiled and agreed, and went to the dining room with the Zou family. As soon as he sat down, before he could move his chopsticks, a porter ran to report: "General Chen is here!" ”
Xu Jinyu was stunned, why did Chen Yuanzhao come?
Xu Zheng's voice sounded in his ears: "I asked someone to deliver a letter to him early this morning, I didn't expect him to come so quickly." Let's invite him in for lunch! ”
After a while, Chen Yuanzhao came.
Officially married, the relationship between them is naturally different. Zou Xu Zheng's attitude towards Chen Yuanzhao was much more enthusiastic and casual than before, and he smiled and beckoned Chen Yuanzhao to take a seat.
Chen Yuanzhao was also not polite and sat down beside Xu Jinyu.
Xu Jinyu couldn't help but glance at Chen Yuanzhao. It is quite a long way from the barracks to here, and even if the journey to chase the moon is fast, it will take more than an hour.
Chen Yuanzhaojun's face was faintly flushed, and there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously he hurried over after getting the news.
Xu Jinyu's heart softened, and she said in a low voice: "What are you doing in such a hurry." It's never too late to come back when you have time. "This is already the case, and the next thing we can do is to be cautious in our words and deeds, and be careful not to see a move. No one dares or can take the initiative to deal with the emperor!
Chen Yuanzhao looked at the concern in her eyes, and his heart swelled with warmth: "I can't rest assured, so come and take a look." There is still something going on in the barracks, so I'll go back after dinner. (To be continued......)
