Chapter 170: Annulment of the Marriage Contract

Hua Weijing listened, looked at the sky, the autumn was crisp, and couldn't help but propose: "Fifth Miss, it's better to get out of the car together and take a walk, picking up chestnuts is also an interesting matter." ”

Xu Qirong looked at him with blazing eyes: "Didn't you and Jinnian have breakfast yet?" ”

Hua Weijing's face froze.

Qiu Nong smiled beside him: "The girl doesn't know, this chestnut is sweet, and there are many people from poor families or people who don't bring enough coils when they go out, and they all take one to satisfy their hunger!" Eat a little once in a while, it's sweeter than rice buns or something. ”

Hua Weijing also said: "I just ate a Pinpo fruit, and I am not so hungry in my stomach." ”

There is nothing else to do in the left and right families, and there is peace by his side, Xu Qirong thought about it, and then nodded and agreed. While speaking, the carriage had stopped on the side of the road close to the chestnut forest, but the chestnut forest was not far from the road, and people could be seen if they raised their eyes slightly, so after several people got off the car, they all went to the chestnut forest, and no one was left to watch the carriage.

Jin Nian thought about it, carefully inserted the white thatched ear in his hand on the wheel, and looked back three times to see if it was stable when he left.

This wild chestnut forest is not very large, and there are only more than 20 chestnut trees in total. Because they are wild, the chestnut shells are very hard, and they look like big brown pearls.

Xu Qirong asked casually: "This is a chestnut, what is this one with sharp thorns?" There are no other trees in this forest, but there are more chestnuts than them. ”

Hua Weijing looked at what Xu Qirong was pointing at, and couldn't help but be happy: "That is the shell of a chestnut." Look at the trees, round and full of thorny fruits, and inside are chestnuts. "Again." Be careful, that thing prick your hands, stay away from it...... Forget it, you and Qiu Nong will stand there spreading out our handkerchiefs, and we will pick them up and throw them to you. ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips and nodded, there were prickly chestnut shells everywhere. The little lady's skin is delicate, if she is pricked, her sister will have to talk about it again.

The chestnuts on the ground were quickly picked up. Ping'an and Jinnian were as nimb as monkeys, so they climbed up the tree, and then broke the branches of chestnuts and threw them down.

Hua Weijing returned to the carriage and brought the dagger that Qiu Nong used to cut the fruit of Pinpo before. Pry open one by one. This thorny shell is really chestnuts inside, Xu Qirong and Qiu Nong both felt quite novel, and they both squatted in front of Hua Weijing, holding their cheeks with their hands and watching with relish.

Hua Weijing was afraid that the shell would splash on them, so he deliberately told them to retreat, and as soon as he looked up at Xu Qirong's happy appearance with smiling eyebrows, he couldn't speak, and the direction of the dagger turned around. Right in front of yourself.

didn't get a few, and Jin Nian and Ping An came over. Hua Weijing has fine skin and tender meat, where does Ping An dare to watch him do it, he hurriedly turned the dagger over, and pry it with great effort.

Hua Weijing took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms, wiped a stone clean, and then picked a few larger chestnuts, smashed them open, revealing the flesh inside, and then handed them to Xu Qirong.

Xu Qirong hesitated.

Hua Weijing smiled: "Try it, I promise it's not poisonous." ”

Xu Qirong was a little embarrassed: "The chestnuts I used to eat were all cooked. Having said that, he still took the broken chestnut from Hua Weijing's hand, hooked the flesh out of the shell with his fingernails, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it, and suddenly looked surprised, "It's sweet with a little astringency, it's quite delicious!" ”

When they had eaten enough chestnuts, Ping'an and Jinnian were still prying those chestnuts with thorny shells. Hua Weijing took Xu Qirong's master and servant to walk slowly along a path, and there was an autumn color everywhere in sight, the wind was high and refreshing, the world was clear, and there was still a sense of depression before.

Seeing a wild hawthorn tree, full of red hawthorn fruits, Xu Qirong reached out and touched it, and asked, "What is this called?" Is it OK to eat? ”

"This is wild hawthorn, you can eat it." Hua Weijing smiled and picked a few big ones, then walked to the mountain spring in front of them and washed them, shook off the water, and handed them to Xu Qirong, "Fifth Miss try it." ”

Qiu Nong instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this, but suddenly she couldn't think of anything wrong, wild hawthorn was indeed something that could be eaten, and when she reacted, her girl was already frowning and shouting sour.

Hua Weijing smiled slyly, watched Qiu Nong tell Xu Qirong to spit out the wild hawthorn in his mouth, and then personally picked a wide wild potato leaf, washed it, went to the upper reaches of the mountain spring and took a handful of mountain spring water, and handed it to Xu Qirong: "Rinse your mouth quickly." ”

Xu Qirong felt sour in his mouth, and saw that the mountain spring water in the wild potato leaves looked quite clear, so he took a sip, and then swallowed it.

Half-ringing: "This water is sweet." ”

Hua Weijing had a smile on his face, Xu Qirong pursed his lips, forget it, everyone is in such a good mood, and they don't blame him. The matter of wild hawthorn will not be mentioned.

After Ping'an and Jinnian finished prying the chestnut thorn shells, a few people walked back with a smile, looking at the sun, but it was almost time for lunch.

This place is not very far from the city gate, and when it was close to the city gate, for the sake of Miss Xu Wu's reputation, Hua Weijing took the initiative to take Jin Nian to get out of the carriage, watched the carriage enter the city, and then walked slowly towards the city gate.

As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw a little lady standing there with an angry face, and a maid standing next to her kept persuading her. Seeing Hua Weijing and Jin Nian walking this way, the maid pointed to this side, said a few words in this direction, and saw the little lady walking towards this side with her feet raised.

Hua Weijing frowned, and watched the fifteenth princess walk this way with an expressionless face.

Jin Nian hurriedly handed the white thatched ear in his hand to the fifteenth princess respectfully with a sneer: "This is picked by my son-in-law himself." ”

The fifteenth princess's face softened a little, snorted coldly, and reached out to take it, before Jin Nian could open her mouth to remind, the fifteenth princess shook her hand, and there was only a handful of straw in her hand, and the fluff on it stained the sleeve of the fifteenth princess.

Jin Nian was stunned, a little overwhelmed. Hua Weijing glanced at it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything.

The fifteenth princess's eyes were red: "You lied to me again, this is not a white grass at all, how can there be grass like this?" ”

Listening to the accusations of the fifteenth princess, Hua Weijing was a little dazed, could it be that the fifteenth princess wanted them to take the kind of sickle used by the peasants to go to the mountains to cut a bundle of grass and come back? I don't even eat this grass and horses!

"This is the white grass, the tassels on the white grass." Jin Nian explained.

The fifteenth princess's eyes widened, and her white and tender fingers pointed at Hua Weijing's nose: "I want to reconcile with you!" ”

Hua Weijing was a little helpless and reminded: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I haven't married you yet." This is the city gate, there are many people, and the princess should pay attention to her proportions when she speaks. ”

The fifteenth princess choked: "That can't be cheap for you, I want to cancel the marriage contract with you!" ”

After speaking, he took the maid beside him and left angrily.

Jin Nian spread his hands and looked at his son-in-law: "It's the eighth time." ”

Hua Weijing was a little dazed.

Jin Nian explained: "Since Her Royal Highness the Fifteenth Princess likes to read the script, this is the eighth time that I have told my son that I want to cancel the marriage contract. ”

Hua Weijing was noncommittal, looked at the straw that was thrown on the ground, couldn't tell what he was thinking, annoyed? Unhappy? Abhor? Dysphoria? Or is it powerless?

In the words of his seventh aunt crying all day long, there is no way to live this day.

It's just that, after all, it is a marriage contract made when it was an infancy, what can be done? Because he knew that he had a marriage contract since he was a child, and the situation in his own family, Hua Weijing never thought about what his future wife would look like. It's just that now, looking at the straw stalks scattered all over the ground, I can't help but feel tired from the bottom of my heart.

Who knew that the fifteenth princess said that the cancellation of the marriage contract was not just talking, and I don't know what method she used, so that the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince agreed to her absurd move, how did the queen mother ask Emperor Chen Qian's edict to set the marriage contract, and now how to ask Emperor Chen Qian's edict to cancel the marriage contract.

On the second day after the cancellation of the marriage contract, Xu Qirong received a post from the fifteenth princess asking her to go to Xifeng Mountain to see the maple leaves. As soon as she received the post from the fifteenth princess, before she could reply, Yuwangfu sent someone to ask her and Sister Jin if they had time to go to enjoy the red maple together in two days. When I asked, I found out that the fifteenth princess not only made an appointment with her, but also made an appointment with Shuanglian and Jiaren.

Xu Qirong thought about it for a while, and asked Yu Qiu to go back to Xu's mansion to inquire, Xu Qiyu was grounded, but it was Xu Qiyun who received a post from the five county lords, but I don't know if I will go to the appointment at that time.

Only then did I know that the fifteenth princess originally just wanted to invite a few little ladies who could talk to each other to enjoy the red maple together, after all, Shuang Lian's temperament was arrogant, and she was impatient to have a lot of little ladies, and the fifteenth princess invited her, so naturally it was not good to invite too many people. Who knew that Mrs. Shizi knew, and the little lady who was a little famous in Xijing City asked her to invite her. A good private party turned into a group event.

The day before appreciating the red maple, Du Dagongzi came to the door again with a dowry, and then was stopped at the door several times, and Du Dagongzi had been worn out of temper. Xu Qijin is not good at forcing people too quickly, after all, she doesn't really want to quit her family. This time, Du Dagongzi came to the door, Xu Qijin received the Du family in accordance with etiquette, accepted the dowry, and handed over the list of the Grange shop to Du Dagongzi for him to take back, and finally sent people out of the door politely...... It's as if the rift of the past few days had never happened.

Out of Zhuangyuan Street, Du Zhong sighed with the little girl next to him: "I didn't expect her to be so scheming, my aunt hurt me." ”

The little girl pursed her lips, no matter what, she was the future housemother, and he still had to beg for a living in her hands, so he didn't dare to accept Du Zhong's words.

Du Zhong saw that no one answered him, and he also felt that it was a little boring to talk about the length of people behind his back, so he stopped talking. (To be continued......)
