It's weird from start to finish.

Why did the eldest brother suddenly ask Xu Jinyu to meet? How could Hancui be drugged in tea? Also, how did Xu Jinyu notice that something was wrong? How did Gu Caiping go to the appointment on her behalf?

All kinds of questions flashed in Ji Yu's heart, she stared at Xu Jinyu tightly and asked the questions in her heart.

Ji Yu Bingxue is smart, Xu Jinyu had expected that the superficial "facts" could not be concealed from Ji Yu: "Cousin Yu, with your intelligence, you will definitely be able to guess the clue." The real mastermind of this matter is not the son of the world, nor Hancui, but the aunt. ”

Ji Yu was really not surprised, frowned and said, "Aunt intends to let the eldest brother marry you, just tell the eldest brother directly." Why do you use such dirty methods to calculate you? ”

Xu Jinyu is the niece and nephew of Xiao Zou's relatives. Xiao Zou's wants Xu Jinyu to marry Ji Ze as a continuation in order to control the inner house, which is also reasonable. However, how could Xiao Zou use such an unbearable means to calculate Xu Jinyu?

Xu Jinyu responded calmly and calmly: "The reason is very simple. Because my aunt secretly proposed to my mother before, I refused. My aunt's wishful thinking failed, and she was unwilling to use such a means. I don't want to marry the prince, but Gu Caiping is the son I like, and I can't ask for it, so I willingly go to the appointment for me. ”

Ji Yu was silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh: "You really don't like big brother at all." ”

That's why he gave up the position of the Hou Shifei of Weining to Gu Caiping.

Xu Jinyu smiled faintly: "Yes, I have no ambition to be the princess, and I have no love for the princess." My aunt wanted me to marry into the Hou Mansion, but she wanted to take advantage of me, and she didn't have any good intentions. I certainly don't want to be taken advantage of by her. So there was a hand-to-hand push, and the plan was calculated. ”

Xu Jinyu admitted very frankly.

Ji Yu smiled bitterly: "If it were me, I would probably do the same as you." I was expecting you to be my sister-in-law, but it seems impossible. ”

Thinking of Gu Caiping, Ji Yu felt a burst of disgust in her heart.

But that's how cruel the truth is. Gu Caiping's marriage to the Hou Mansion is already a sure fact, whether she likes it or not, she has to accept this fact!

Xu Jinyu looked at Ji Yu, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

The two went from estrangement to familiarity, from mutual defensiveness to tacit understanding. If there is no haze in the previous life, if there is no Ji Ze, they will definitely be a pair of close friends.

It's a pity that this friendship has been shrouded in layers of clouds from the beginning.

The grudge between her and Xiao Zou's Ji Ze is endless. The day she succeeded in revenge was when the Marquis of Weining's mansion was disgraced. Between her and Ji Yu, there is probably only a turn against each other

Thinking of this, Xu Jinyu's heart sank. Ji Yu was in a gloomy mood because of Ji Ze and Gu Caiping's family affairs, and she was in no mood to speak.

The two sat opposite each other in silence for a long time

According to customary etiquette, the bride should not stay too late at her mother's house.

Before Ji Yu left, she had a long talk with her brother Ji Ze. What exactly is being said, no one knows. When Ji Yu left, her face was a little heavy.

"Sister, did you say something to your cousin today?" Xu Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Since Cousin Yu left, you didn't even have a smile on your face. ”

Xu Jinyu sighed lightly: "Cousin Yu is very smart, and there are some things that can't be hidden from her at all." I can only tell the truth. No matter how good my relationship with her is, I can't match her brother and sister relationship with Ji Ze after all. In the future, she and I will drift apart, and maybe turn against each other. Thinking about this makes me feel a little uncomfortable. ”

Xu Zheng couldn't see her depressed appearance, and smiled and comforted: "This is also something that can't be helped." You can't just obey your aunt's wishes because of her! ”

"yes, I know it's inevitable." Xu Jinyu smiled a little bitterly: "Therefore, I don't feel good in my heart." ”

Xu Zheng touched Xu Jinyu's long hair with pity: "In the world, you can't have both, there is always a lot of helplessness." The most important person to Cousin Yu is her brother. It's the same for you, my mother and I weigh more than anyone else. It was Ji Ze and his aunt who came to calculate us first, and we were just protecting ourselves. There's nothing to feel guilty about. ”

That's true.

But reason is one thing, emotion is always another.

Xu Jinyu cheered up and said, "Big brother, you don't have to worry about me. I'm feeling a little depressed, and I'll be better in a few days. There isn't much time left until the autumn season, you just have to concentrate on your studies, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

Xu Zheng smiled and hummed.

For him, this autumn season is very important, and there is no room for failure! He really had to concentrate on preparing and not be distracted.

Right now, Xiao Zou is busy with Ji Ze and Gu Caiping's marriage, so there shouldn't be any leisure to find fault!

Xiao Zou is indeed very busy.

Although the matter of Ji Ze and Gu Caiping's marriage should not be publicized, it should be carried out in a low-key manner, and the steps that should be taken are indeed indispensable. lest you lose the etiquette and be picked out by the Gu family.

After Ji Ze returned to the barracks, he ignored the matter of marriage, and everything naturally fell on Xiao Zou.

Xiao Zou had nowhere to complain about the bitterness in his stomach, and he forced his smiling face to Zhang Luoding's marriage.

A month later, the two exchanged stickers and officially decided on a family affair.

Xiao Zou's whole person has lost weight, and his temper has become more and more uncertain. The maids in Tinglan Courtyard trembled one by one, lest one of them accidentally hit the board and end up with the same fate as Han Cui.

Ji Ze and Gu Caiping officially agreed on their relationship, and the wedding date was set for April of the following year. The news was not deliberately publicized, but it quickly reached everyone's ears.

On this day, after the court was dispersed, King Qin deliberately stopped Ji Ze and patted Ji Ze's shoulder with a smile: "You are too uninteresting." quietly decided on the family affair, how could such a happy event be concealed so tightly. Why don't you treat me to a happy bar! ”

Every time Ji Ze thought of this family business, he was terrified. I didn't want to mention it at all, so I responded vaguely: "It's been less than a year since the Gu family left, and it's inconvenient to publicize the matter of marriage." ”

"It's just a matter of hiding it from others, why don't you even hide it from me." King Qin and Ji Ze are cousins of their in-laws, and they have a close relationship on weekdays, and they speak very casually: "I heard that you are going to marry the fourth lady of the Gu family as a continuation." The last time Miss Gu Si came to the Qin Palace, she still fell into the water with Miss Xu Er."

It's okay not to mention this. When it came to this, Ji Ze's face became even more subtle.

That day, Gu Caiping fell into the water, and his ugliness was exposed, and he was seen by everyone. At that time, he didn't have the heart to save her at all, and he saw her make a fool of herself.

At that time, he could never have imagined that one day, he would have to marry her. If I had known that there would be such a day! He should have done something at that time to let Gu Caiping stay in the pond forever.

King Qin's mind was sharp, and he quickly noticed that Ji Ze's feelings were different, and half-jokingly tentatively said: "Others are full of joy when they get married, but you are different, not only are you not happy, but you also have a cold face." Why, are you reluctant to do this family business? ”

Ji Ze immediately denied it: "No, His Highness is too careful." ”

Don't make a big fuss! Gu Caiping is not good in every way, and he will have to marry into the Hou Mansion in the future. Moreover, the facts of that night are reluctant to be revealed.

Ji Ze avoided talking about it, and King Qin didn't want to ask any more questions, so he smiled and opened the topic: "Father and Emperor have set the chief examiner of Qiu Yu in the court today, and he is Lord Jiu Cao, the priest of the country. It seems that the Cao family will soon be crowded with students who come to the door to ask for advice. ”

When it comes to Qiufu and Master Cao, of course, it is indispensable to mention Xu Zheng, who is about to participate in Qiuqiu.

"Has Xu Zheng ever been out of the house recently?" King Qin pretended to ask casually.

Although his tone was indifferent, the light in his eyes betrayed King Qin's true feelings.

Ji Ze saw it in his eyes, and he replied with a smile: "Since my second sister got married, I have been busy with things in the barracks, and I haven't been back to my house for a month, and I haven't seen my cousin." Whether he left the house or not, I don't know. However, the autumn season is approaching, and with his diligence and hard work, he will inevitably study hard day and night, and probably he will not leave the house. ”

King Qin said incorrectly: "Since this is the case, then let him study the books well." Wait until the autumn is over, and then invite him out for a drink. ”

Ji Ze hasn't been back to his house for a month, and King Qin hasn't seen Xu Zheng for a month. Thinking of that handsome and smiling face, King Qin's heart was about to move.

is also a man, Ji Ze certainly understands what King Qin is thinking. immediately smiled and said, "It's really inappropriate to go out of the house to drink." However, if His Royal Highness is willing to go to the Hou Mansion with a face, it doesn't hurt to see his cousin and talk. ”

These words are exactly what King Qin wants.

King Qin responded without thinking.

At this moment, Chen Yuanzhao came over: "Yutang, what are you talking about with Your Highness?" ”

Ji Ze smiled casually: "I invite His Royal Highness King Qin to the Hou Mansion for a few drinks tonight." If you have time, come along! "Chen Yuanzhao has never liked to entertain at banquets, Ji Ze just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanzhao responded in one bite: "Okay! ”

Ji Ze: ""

Is the sun coming out of the west today?

Chen Yuanzhao actually took the initiative to open his mouth to go to the Hou Mansion for a banquet?

King Qin was also a little surprised, but he didn't show anything on his face, and patted Chen Yuanzhao's shoulder affectionately: "I didn't expect Zixi to have this Yaxing." Okay, the three of us won't get drunk tonight! ”

Chen Yuanzhao's eyes flashed, and he snorted, which was an answer.

King Qin likes men's secrets and doesn't know much. Chen Yuanzhao happens to be one of them.

Although he knew that the man King Qin liked was a young man who was beautiful and gentle, he was by no means his type. However, every time I approached King Qin's side, there was always something indescribable in my heart.

King Qin covets Xu Zheng, and sooner or later he will attack Xu Zheng Xu Jinyu and Xu Zheng's brother and sister have always been affectionate, and they must be worried about this! R1152
