"Come again. King Zhenbei said with a serious expression.

Only then did Ji Hongye come back to his senses and find that he had reflexively played the correct move. Originally, he was still thinking about how to show a flaw to the king of Zhenbei, but it was good to look at her, and he disrupted all his original plans, and he racked his brains in vain, and he was still thinking about how to let it.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't feel that he was in trouble, and when he saw that his father lost the chess game, he couldn't help but say: "Daddy, I'll help you watch this time, we will definitely win." ”

King Zhenbei seemed to be inspired by his daughter, his brows stretched, and he came to another plate excitedly. This time, Nalan Jinxiu focused on the chessboard, and she was thinking about how to make it easier for the third brother. In this way, the king of Zhenbei really won this game. As if he had an obsession in his heart, he kept losing and playing, but now he can't play anymore if he wins, King Zhenbei pushed the chessboard aside, and asked the guards to take Ji Hongye to rest.

As soon as Nalan Jinxiu saw that he had given the eviction order, she was a little anxious, and was about to speak, when Ji Hongye shook her head, her eyes were gentle and reassuring. She swallowed back the words that had come to her mouth. King Zhenbei had already arranged a courtyard for Ji Hongye, and it was clear that he wanted him to live for a long time, that is to say, he had agreed to this matter in his heart. Ji Hongye understood it, so he wasn't in a hurry.

When Ji Hongye went out, the daughter of the Zhenbei Dynasty beckoned her and asked her to sit beside her. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, it was the female university who didn't stay, and it could be seen from playing these two games of chess that his daughter's heart was towards Ji Hongye. The two of them were using small tricks there, trying to deliberately lose to him, how could he not know, he just didn't want to demolish them.

Nalan Jinxiu sat beside King Zhenbei obediently, he didn't speak, and she didn't speak.

"Your third brother must have told you about his intentions!"

"Well, I said. ”

"And what do you think?"

Nalan Jinxiu looked at King Zhenbei hesitantly, she didn't know if she could say what was in her heart, in fact, she wanted to go with the third brother. But she also knows that she hasn't passed her fifteenth birthday yet, and the matchmaker hasn't arrived yet, so she can't be sloppy in marriage, and she must abide by the rules.

King Zhenbei saw that she hesitated and didn't dare to speak, but he understood in his heart, and he sighed: "You have just come back from Jinling, and you haven't passed your fifteenth birthday yet, to be honest, I don't want you to marry so early, but I'm afraid you'll blame me." He also knew that he couldn't force it, and if he felt that his daughter was still young now, and left her by his side, and if something happened in the marriage, she would definitely blame him in the future.

Nalan Jinxiu hurriedly shook his head: "Daddy's words are serious, how can I blame you." ”

"Even if you don't blame it in your mouth, can you blame it in your heart?"

"No blame, you are my father, you have your reasons for what you do. ”

"Since he is not in a hurry to go back, let him stay here for a while with peace of mind, and wait until the matchmaker comes to the door and all the etiquette is in order, and then send you away. King Zhenbei paused again when he said this: "Just take advantage of this time, I can still prepare." ”

"What are you going to prepare. ”

"Of course, it's something for you to marry, and I originally planned to let you marry a few years later. Our family doesn't pay attention to those, what girls have to marry when they reach the age of marriage, and boys have to start a family when they become adults, these are the rules set by the world themselves, and they have nothing to do with our family. Just look at your brother, I haven't married a wife at such an old age, haven't I ever persecuted him?"

Nalan Jinxiu only now realizes the person of Zhenbei Wang, he is thick and fine. Everyone else thought that he was busy protecting the land and the people, so he ignored his son's marriage. In fact, he just didn't want to force Xu Jince, and wanted to make the decision by his own will. There are thousands of parents in this world, and there are thousands of ways to love their children, but I have to admit that this way of King Zhenbei is the best for children.

Xu Jince is a young man with ambition and a noble son, and his vision is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people. The king of Zhenbei did not ask him to continue the incense because he was the only boy in the Zhenbei Wangfu. did not use Xu Jinsheng as a bargaining chip because she was the county lord of the palace. After all, he is a feudal official, and if he can remarry his daughter to the powerful people in the DPRK, it will naturally be like a tiger with wings. All he wanted in his heart was to obey the hearts of his children, and he never wronged them.

"Since ancient times, major marriage events must obey the orders of parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how you arrange it, your daughter will listen to it. Nalan Jinxiu said.

King Zhenbei was moved by his daughter's words. It can be seen from the incident of the plague in Fuhe Village that her daughter is not an ordinary ordinary woman, she has her own rules of doing things and her own opinions. Now that she is willing to hand over all the marriage matters to his father, it is undoubtedly a great trust and affirmation of him.

In the past, he was worried that his daughter would be sent to Jinling at such a young age and raised in his grandfather's house, and he would not be close to him when she grew up. Now it seems that his worries are completely unnecessary, and his daughter knows very well in her heart who is close to her, and who is her own family with thick blood and water.

It's no wonder that before he came back, his son asked him that Sheng'er was very assertive and hoped that his father would ask her as much as he could. After all, it is her own marriage event, who to marry, whether she is happy or not, it is up to her to decide, don't wronged her.

King Zhenbei was reluctant to give up, and he had to think about it for her. Mu Li's incident is spread in almost the entire northern Xinjiang, which is not a good thing for a woman who has not left the cabinet, and one day it will be rumored that the direction of the wind will change. In fact, up to now, King Zhenbei doesn't know why this kind of thing that happened in the palace can spread so quickly and menacingly.

But rumors are like this, and they can still be caught when they first come out. But once it spreads ten, ten spreads hundreds, and when it really gets known to the whole people, it is almost impossible to find out the initiator step by step. All he can do now is how to minimize the damage and not affect her daughter's future happiness.

"Your third brother is an excellent person, he was the first Xie Yuan in the township test, and later he won Tanhua. He has successively entered the Hanlin Academy, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and now he is a cabinet minister and a second-class member. It is naturally not bad that you can marry such a person. ”

Nalan Jinxiu smiled: "I don't really care what his identity is. ”

"That's natural, it's not Gao Pan if you marry him, and it's not buried if he marries you. Although he came with sincerity, he will definitely treat you well in the future, but the dowry is not missing at all, which is related to your face in your in-law's family. Although the time is a little short, I am not unprepared, and I will definitely be able to do it for you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu suddenly remembered her previous life, when A-Niang handled the wedding for her and was so busy that she became sick. In this life, although she has no mother, she has an extra brother, and she still has a family. Now listening to what King Zhenbei said, my heart is not unmoved. She stepped forward and hugged the arm of King Zhenbei, and smiled coquettishly: "Daddy, don't worry too much." ”

King Zhenbei touched the top of his daughter's hair and said, "The matchmaker will come to the door in a few days, and I have already sent a book to your brother, so that he can arrange the affairs in his hands and come back." You have a fight with his brother and sister, and he is very protective of you, and if you want to marry, you must be by his side. ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, and talked with the king of Zhenbei for a while before returning to the Star Picking Tower. As soon as she entered the house, she felt that the atmosphere in the room was unusual, and Jixiang and Ruyi were staring at each other. No, it seems that two people are facing each other, and it looks like no one can convince anyone. In Nalan Jinxiu's heart, the two of them have always been very harmonious, and Ruyi basically listens to auspicious everything, so it's the first time they've seen each other.

"What are you ......" Before Nalan Jinxiu finished speaking, both of them turned their eyes to her.

As soon as Ruyi saw her, it was like seeing a savior, Dong Dong Dong ran to her in two steps, and said like a cannon: "County Lord, you are back, Sister Jixiang is reprimanding me, you come and judge me." ”

"Why is she reprimanding you?"

Ruyi's two hands stirred together, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "I know that the third young master is here, and I want to go over and see them." But Sister Jixiang didn't say that the third young master was here to propose, so I must avoid suspicion, and I won't let me go over if I live or die. ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, she felt that this matter was done auspiciously. The third brother came from afar, and the two families were relatives, and it was reasonable for his father to let him stay in the house. If you don't avoid suspicion now, I don't know what gossip will come out, more things are better than less, she is still alive and well.

"Jixiang is right, anyway, sooner or later, we have to meet, and I am not in a hurry at this time. ”

Ruyi has been out for so long, and I really miss Jinling. When no one from her hometown came, she didn't think that when she heard that Ji Xiaobai and they were coming, she couldn't help it. This is probably what people call meeting old acquaintances in other places, and this kind of mood Nalan Jinxiu also deeply understands.

She grew up in Jinling, and after coming to northern Xinjiang, she had a lot of discomfort, and now she can be regarded as adapting, but it still can't prevent her from missing everything in Jinling. Seeing the third brother today, she was also excited, and she felt that she might be so excited that she couldn't sleep this night.

She felt that she should find something to do, and to divert her attention, she took the medical book and read it. Who knew that after reading for a long time, she couldn't read a word, and finally Jixiang took her book away from her hand, and she looked at Jixiang in puzzlement.

Ji Xiang sighed helplessly and said, "County Lord, haven't you noticed it yourself? ”

Nalan Jinxiu was speechless, thinking that she would never make such a mistake, and asked very unconfidently: "Is there one?"

"Yes. Jixiang looked at her helplessly, and that look clearly showed that he knew what she was thinking.
