"You don't have to blame yourself, no one expected this, no wonder you." Wang Mingyuan saw that Zhao's eyebrows were frowning, and he had already sighed more than ten times when he got the news, and comforted him loudly, "You can rest assured, Changfeng, you also watched grow up." Character and talent aside, just say that there are no women in his backyard until now, which many people in Yanjing City can't match. ”

"He also got along with Yiyi for a while before, and you can see it, he treats Yiyi very well, even if Yiyi really marries, he will definitely not be wronged Yiyi."

"They want to marry them, as long as it's not our family." Zhao snorted unreasonably, it is undeniable that what Wang Mingyuan said is true, Chu Changfeng is indeed very good, but he sees it as a younger brother. Now that he wants to marry his own niece and nephew, Zhao's thoughts are different.

Wang Mingyuan knew Zhao's feelings for Xu Jiayi, from such a small girl to such a big one, and the effort spent during the period was much more than that of him as an uncle. What's more, after Yun Xiu got married, he often came to the main house to accompany the Zhao family, and the relationship between the two was even better.

"Look at what you said," Wang Mingyuan explained softly while patting Zhao's back, "The Marquis of Anping is loyal and patriotic, and has been guarding the border for decades, protecting the people's lives peacefully, and is a great hero of our country." Changfeng is the son of the Marquis of Anping, the son inherits his father's business to guard the frontier, and it is admirable to defend the family and the country, and now he has made military achievements, and the emperor is on the rise to reward him, which is also human nature. ”

"I don't think he's bad, I just think ...... It's too far. ”

If they marry closer, they can still take care of each other, and if they don't have a good time in their in-laws' house one by one, they will also have their mother's family to support her.

But this marriage is married to the border pass, the world is far away, and it can't be seen during the New Year's holidays. The best outcome can only be seen once in three or five years, and maybe even never again in this life. Thinking like this, Zhao felt his heart ache again.

Of course, there is another reason why the Zhao family didn't say it, although Chu Changfeng doesn't have any messy women in the house, but he is not young at this age, he is almost a round older than Yiyi, if he is two or three years older, he can be Yiyi's father.

"Don't worry too much, my father said that Changfeng is not impossible to transfer back to the capital, and after two years, when the border is stable, maybe he will be able to come back. Didn't you go back to the capital last year and live in the capital for a year?! ”

"Hmm." Zhao finally held back his tears and nodded slightly. It's just that in the end, I still didn't give up and asked again, "Is there really no other way to do this?" ”

Wang Mingyuan pursed his lips and didn't respond, and shook his head slightly.

Zhao wiped the tears from his face and eased his emotions. I went to the bronze mirror and looked at it, and when I saw that I couldn't see anything, I straightened my clothes and hair, and walked out of the house. Wang Mingyuan's eyelids jumped when he saw her back, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll take a look."

Zhao said loudly as he walked out, and took Mama Zhao to follow him and was about to go to Jiaxi Garden. Who knew that as soon as he got out of the courtyard of the main house, he looked at the Qian family who came in a hurry. Qian's face was a little flustered, and when he saw Zhao hurriedly coming over, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhao's eyes were a little red, "Sister-in-law, you know everything?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Qian's hand, "I want to go to the other side one by one, since I have met, then you will go with me, right?" ”

Hearing this, the Qian family also nodded, and followed the Zhao family directly to Jiaxi Garden. When the two arrived, Xu Jiayi was practicing calligraphy in the room, and when the two of them came in, they hurriedly let Cuiyun serve tea, and Yuan Xiang came in with a basin of water to clean Xu Jiayi's hands, and then went to the desk to clean up the paper written by Xu Jiayi.

Xu Jiayi greeted the two of them, and then sat opposite the two, and seeing that the faces of the two were a little wrong, she asked tentatively, "Eldest aunt, second aunt, is there something wrong with you coming to me?" ”

Thinking that the only thing that has been going on recently is next month's self-esteem, but Xu Jiayi really can't think of anything that can make the two aunts come to her yard like this.

"Nothing." Zhao Shiqiang pulled out a smile and smiled at Xu Jiayi, shaking his head slightly.

Xu Jiayi saw at a glance that the two aunts were absent-minded, but the two aunts didn't say that she couldn't ask again, so after talking with the two of them for a while, she didn't pay attention to the tea when Qian was pouring the tea, and kept staring at herself, and couldn't help frowning slightly and reminded, "Second aunt, the water is full." ”

"Huh?!" Qian Shi was suddenly startled, looked down and saw that sure enough, the tea spread out in shock, and the low table was already soaked in a large area, so he hurriedly put down the tea cup and called the maid to come and clean it up.

"Eldest aunt, second aunt, what happened?"

The people who can stay in the house and serve are their henchmen, and the Qian family has no intention of avoiding it, and this matter can't be hidden, so he forcibly pulled the corners of his mouth, "Yiyi, what do you think of Chu Shizi?" ”

"Chu Shizi?" Xu Jiayi shook her head before matching the name with the person, couldn't help blinking, thought for a while and said, "Second uncle, are you talking about cousin?" ”

"Yes, it's him."

"Uncle Cousin, he is brave and strategic, both civil and military, naturally excellent."

Listening to Xu Jiayi's obviously unintentional answer, Zhao secretly sighed in his heart, didn't hide it anymore, and said in a low voice, "The emperor wants to marry you." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jiayi's expression was a little complicated, and she didn't react for a long time. She never thought that her marriage would one day be decided by the emperor.

Seeing that Xu Jiayi was almost stupid, Zhao's heart jumped, and he hurriedly raised his hand and shook it in front of Xu Jiayi's eyes, Xu Jiayi came back to her senses and whispered, "Auntie." ”

"One by one, although Changfeng is my cousin, I also know that this matter has wronged you. I don't mean anything else when I come here with your second aunt today, I just want to ask you what you think. You just have to say according to what you think in your heart, you don't have to worry about anything else, your aunt will help you. ”

Although Zhao said so, he was not sure in his heart. If Yiyi really doesn't want to, then she can only cheekily go back and beg her father to ask him to help ask the emperor for a favor, and she doesn't know if it will work.

In addition, there is another way, that is, to take advantage of the fact that the holy decree has not yet arrived, and first give a certain family business. At that time, if the father-in-law in the palace who announced the decree comes, he can inform the emperor of this matter through his mouth, and maybe there is a possibility that the emperor can take back his fate. However, if it is found out at this time, it will be a great crime of deception.

Although Zhao had this idea in his heart, he did not intend to do so until he had to.

"No," Xu Jiayi shook her head and refused, "The emperor's golden mouth has said, the holy decree has been issued, how can it be changed." Don't let my uncles disobey the emperor's will for my sake, so as not to displease the emperor and miss the good future of the two uncles and cousins. ”

At this time, Xu Jiayi was not thinking about herself, but about Shangshufu, and the Zhao and Qian families were distressed and happy. I am happy that my niece is not in vain, but what hurts me is that she thinks about others in everything and thinks about herself whenever she wants.

"The holy decree hasn't been issued yet...... Zhao couldn't help but whisper in a low voice. Although it was not ordered, the Zhao family also knew that this holy decree would not be long before it arrived. After all, I told my father-in-law in the court today, calculate the time, I'm afraid that someone will come to the palace later.

"This is your life's event, one by one, have you really thought about it?" Qian took Xu Jiayi's hand, looked at her fixedly, and asked, "The second aunt has no daughter, and she has treated you as her own daughter since she was a child." As long as you say you don't want to, the second aunt will definitely do her best to find a way for you. ”

Xu Jiayi's eyes were a little red, hugged Qian's, and said jokingly, "I know that my second aunt loves me the most, but I really don't want to, in fact, it's good to marry my cousin, many people want to marry him and don't have this opportunity!" ”

It is precisely because the second aunt loves her the most that she can't be willful.

Resisting the decree and disrespecting it is a felony, not to mention that the emperor is now on the rise because of the great victory at the border pass, if they go to ask the emperor to take back his life, they are afraid that they will annoy the emperor, how can she bear to gamble with dozens of people from the top and bottom of the household department Shangshu Mansion for herself.

Although Xu Jiayi repeatedly said that she was willing to marry Chu Changfeng, both Zhao and Qian felt that Xu Jiayi was unwilling to burden them and deliberately wronged herself.

Thinking like this, the eyes of Zhao and Qian turned red unconsciously, and they saw that tears were about to fall. Xu Jiayi's soft coaxing words was useless, but the two of them felt even more guilty in their hearts.

Xu Jiayi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and asked the maids in the house to go out first, leaving only Zhao and Qian in the house. Zhao and Qian's faces were serious, naturally they knew that this was Xu Jiayi who had something to say, and it was inconvenient for others to know, so they immediately couldn't care about the discomfort in their hearts, and looked at Xu Jiayi with a restrained expression.

After the maids had all retreated, Cuiyun walked and looked back at the few people in the room at the end, bowed down and closed the door and guarded the door, preventing others from coming and eavesdropping. Xu Jiayi in the house suddenly asked, "Eldest aunt and second aunt, do you remember the year before last, when my mother died on the day I went out of the house to sweep my mother's grave on the outskirts of the city?" ”

Zhao and Qian paused slightly, not understanding why Xu Jiayi suddenly said this, but recalled the memory in their minds, but they didn't have much impression. The time is too far away, and this matter is just an ordinary thing, and I didn't deliberately remember it, so I naturally can't remember it at this time.

It's just that they didn't know anything about Xu Jiayi when they suddenly mentioned this, so the two glanced at each other, and turned their eyes to look at Xu Jiayi, "What's wrong?" ”

"Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"

Zhao and Qian asked in unison.
