Hua Yude smiled: "If you don't come here to watch the fireworks, how do they know that this is my other courtyard?" We are going to Beijiao, and it is also appropriate to show a little strength and make them jealous. ”

Well, Xu Qirong stretched out his hand to cover his face, feeling that he was thinking too much, how could a person who was so thoughtful as Duke De make such a low-level mistake!

Hua Yude squeezed her hand and looked serious: "I'm very happy that you're worried about me so much." ”

No one has let off fireworks in Jinju for a long time, although Hua Yude took Xu Qirong to the other courtyard to watch the fireworks, but the fireworks were not set off in the other courtyard, but on a mountain not far away. The mountain is quite high, but because of the good soil, everyone opened up a field to plant some sweet potatoes and other things, there are no trees, only many shrubs, and there is no need to worry about causing a fire or something.

Xu Qirong faintly heard the cheers of many children, and when he walked home after watching the fireworks, he also heard women on the road discussing the fireworks with great interest, sweeping away the sad atmosphere of the previous months. Xu Qirong thought that the good news is estimated to be able to come to Jinju in the middle of the night tonight, and this fireworks is really a good sign for everyone.

After going home and washing, the two lay on the bed, tired for such a day, they didn't have anything else to think about, so they talked together. Xu Qirong remembered Xu Tingyuan's entrustment, so he opened his mouth to Hua Yude: "If you think it's okay, just ask your bachelors, if you think it's not good, I'll tell my father, my father has always loved me, and if you can't do such a thing well, it's nothing." ”

Hua Yude thought for a while and asked, "You have seen all the people under me." Those you haven't seen are not qualified to marry your cousin. They are all unengaged, who do you think is suitable? ”

Xu Qirong thought for a while and said, "I think Gong Jiu is good." It's just that his temperament is a little ......" Gong Jiusheng has a good appearance, and judging from what happened this morning, he is also an extremely smart person, but his temperament is not very pleasing. Anything else is either not good-looking, not stable enough, or too angry.

"He's really bad." Hua Yude nodded.

Xu Qirong said again: "If you have no opinion, I will find an opportunity to ask the fourteenth sister." Maybe she doesn't care about Gong Jiu's temperament! ”

Who knew that Hua Yude shook his head: "Gong Jiu is not good, what do you think of Gong Qi?" ”

Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment, when Hua Yude asked her to choose. She subconsciously didn't think about Gong Qi, and didn't say anything else, just said that Gong Qi's current status led the rebel army to attack Yao Jing. It's kind of a general. He is also the most powerful person under Hua Yude. With the current status of the Xu family, even if Xu Qirong felt that Gong Qi was good, he didn't dare to ask Hua Yude for it, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention it.

Hua Yude said with a smile: "You first asked your father and seventeenth uncle, and then find time to ask Xu Qixuan quietly, if you can, settle down!" The fourteenth sister was born beautiful, and her temperament did not have the squeamishness of ordinary noblewomen. Gong Qi will rejoice. ”

After a pause, he said, "Gong Qi is a wild horse. Wild horses must have reins before they can be tamed. ”

Xu Qirong understood what Hua Yude meant, thought about it, didn't get angry, and snorted, planning to ask Xu Qixuan when the time comes.

On the second day, the news of the victory of the righteous army really spread all over the streets and alleys, just after breakfast, Lord Tongzhi sent someone to invite Hua Yude to discuss the matter, Xu Qirong took the opportunity to go to Shen's house, did not tell Xu Tingyuan and Xu Tingyan about the matter, and went to Xu Qixuan to whisper first.

Xu Qirong said to Xu Qixuan: "He wants to control his subordinates, I don't have anything to say, but if you marry Gong Qi like this, even if you are used by him, it will not be good if there will be any twists and turns in the future." ”

Xu Qixuan's eyes lit up: "Is Gong Qi the one who took the righteous army to do the way for the sky?" ”

Xu Qirong snorted: "People are good people, but who knows what he thinks in his heart?" In order to contain Gong Qi, Hua Yude married Xu Qixuan to Gong Qi, but Gong Qi would be angry with Xu Qixuan because of this.

Xu Qirong didn't want to tell Xu Qixuan about this, but she was worried that Hua Yude would mention it to Xu Tingyuan in person, and her father would always be confused, so maybe he would stupidly agree.

Xu Qixuan hummed absentmindedly, and then asked, "Gong Qi was originally a subordinate of his brother-in-law?" ”

Xu Qirong nodded, by now, the Shen family knew that Gong Qi was Hua Yude's person, and there was no need to hide it from Xu Qixuan at this time.

Then I heard Xu Qixuan say with a shy face: "Since he is a subordinate of his brother-in-law, he must be very loyal, and his brother-in-law will allow him to lead the righteous army to attack Yao Jing." In this case, the containment that my brother-in-law said is nothing more than to be safe, Gong Qi only has gratitude, how can he blame him? ”

Xu Qirong's eyes widened, and then he heard Xu Qixuan say to himself: "This matter, when the fifteenth sister tells the eleventh uncle, don't make the eleventh uncle worry!" ”

Xu Qirong immediately felt a little bad, Xu Qixuan clearly meant that he was willing! At the moment, he opened his mouth a little bitterly: "Fourteenth sister, why don't you look at others again?" ”

Xu Qixuan blushed and didn't speak, and after a while, she held back a sentence: "You don't know, in everyone's hearts, General Gong is a hero, and many little ladies are eager to marry a hero by themselves." ”

Xu Qirong had no choice, and when he talked to Hua Yude about it in the evening, Hua Yude smiled: "Even if it's to contain what is wrong with marrying Gong Qi, for your sake, will I treat them badly?" Since the fourteenth sister thinks it's good, Ming'er and I will go to the Shen family with you and talk to your father and seventeenth uncle, which also shows that our palace seven are sincere. ”

Xu Qirong thought about it, and was convinced in his heart, so he responded, and said, "Aren't you busy tomorrow?" ”

Hua Yude hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I'll push things off...... When I get to Beijiao, I'm afraid I won't have much time to accompany you. ”

On the second day, I told Xu Tingyuan and Xu Tingyan that they were really willing, and Xu Tingyan said that Xu Deng's side had him to persuade him, and he was just waiting for Gong Qi to invite the matchmaker to Suzhou to propose marriage.

It's just that Gong Qi is still attacking Yao Jing now, and the matter of getting married, I'm afraid it will have to be delayed. Thinking about it like this, Xu Tingyan was a little reluctant.

Hua Yude didn't persuade much, but said: "Uncle Seventeen might as well ask the opinion of the fourteenth sister, discuss it, if it works, send me a letter before we leave for Beijiao, if not, my gang of brothers and sisters have no marriage contract, except for Gong Jiu, you can pick any one." ”

Xu Tingyan responded, thanked him in every way, and pulled Hua Yude to drink together, but he was thinking that he would tell Xu Deng about this matter earlier, so that he would have time to ask Sister Rong about the temperament of those people.

Hua Yude saw Xu Tingyan's thoughts, and didn't say anything, so he drank together.

The day before Huayu Dehe Xu Qirong packed up and was ready to leave for Beijiao, the family affairs between Xu Qixuan and Gong Qi were finally decided verbally. Hua Yude immediately sent a letter to Gong Qi.

Although Xu Deng was not particularly satisfied, it was also a matter of concern, and the smile on his face increased. (To be continued.) )
