"Actually, there was some accident on the way that day, but I was afraid that my grandmother and aunt would be worried and deliberately concealed it." Xu Jiayi pondered in her heart for a moment, and in the end she still told her about the bandits she met on the suburban road and was rescued by Chu Changfeng.

After finishing speaking, seeing that the Zhao family and the Qian family both looked serious and unbelievable, Xu Jiayi added, "If my aunt is worried that I am making this up at random to coax you, you can ask Cuiyun and them to come in and ask." Or, auntie, you can also write to your cousin and ask. ”

When Xu Jiayi said this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, maybe this is fate.

The Zhao family didn't believe much of what Xu Jiayi said, and the Qian family didn't believe it originally, but seeing that Xu Jiayi said it so firmly, he was not even afraid to let them find Xiangqiao and them to come over to confront him, but he already believed it a little in his heart.

They also got the news and just learned about it, so it was naturally impossible to talk to the maid in advance, so since she dared to say this, she was naturally not afraid of them to investigate. Although he already believed it in his heart, Zhao still raised his voice and called "Cuiyun".

Cuiyun, who was guarding the door, immediately pushed the door open when he heard this, crossed the threshold and blessed the Zhao family and the others in the house, "Big lady." ”

It wasn't until Xiangqiao, Cuiyun, and Yuanxiang were summoned over for questioning that the Zhao family and the Qian family were completely convinced. Then he waved his hand to let a few maids in the room exit first, and said slowly with a somewhat restless expression, "I haven't heard Changfeng talk about it before......"

"Uncle Xu doesn't want others to know about it, and he will cause trouble." Xu Jiayi speculated.

Zhao nodded when he heard this, and also agreed with Xu Jiayi's statement. Although Chu Changfeng's child didn't grow up watching him, she also knew his personality that this thing was indeed done by him, a stuffy gourd.

Although Xu Jiayi did not have an accident at that time, if the news of the robbers on the road spread, those nonsense people outside can be said to be black, and naturally the reputation of innocence will be gone. Chu Changfeng did this for the sake of Xu Jiayi's reputation, but she didn't expect the two of them to meet so early, and when they met again in the mansion later, she didn't even see anything unusual.

"So the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and my cousin also have a life-saving grace for me, let alone marrying him, even if I give him back my life." Xu Jiayi paused and said, "What's more, this matter can be regarded as my high climbing of the Anping Marquis Mansion, what else is there to dissatisfaction with?" I'm willing to marry him. ”

She didn't know whether she liked Chu Changfeng or not, but at least she wasn't disgusted. Even if this doesn't happen, the eldest aunt will find her a family to marry in the future, and maybe she will marry him before she even sees her fiancé a few times.

In that case, who is not to marry?

It's just that after the end of the year, the little girl who hasn't left the cabinet yet, after saying the last sentence, Xu Jiayi's little face turned pink with shame, and she didn't dare to look at the eyes of Zhao and Qian with shame.

When Zhao and Qian heard this, they didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at Xu Jiayi's pretending to be relaxed in silence, feeling a little distressed.

Seeing that there was nothing to say, Xu Jiayi looked at the Zhao family and the Qian family, lowered her eyes and said softly, "Eldest aunt, second aunt, I'm a little tired and want to take a break." ”

"Then you have a good rest, and we won't bother you." Hearing this, Zhao stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he paused again and admonished, "Yiyi, you think about it again, if you change your mind, come to your aunt." ”

After the Zhao family and the Qian family left, the smile on Xu Jiayi's face, who was originally standing at the door with a smile and watching the two, instantly converged. Xiangqiao and the others on the side looked at Xu Jiayi's face, and they were also a little worried, "Girl......"

Xu Jiayi came back to her senses, smiled at Xiangqiao and the others, took Yuanxiang's hand and sat back at the table, lying on the table as if she had suddenly lost all her strength, her mind was messy, as if she was thinking about something, and as if she didn't think about anything.

Xu Jiayi knew that she would definitely not be able to hide this from Mrs. Su, and when the emperor's decree on marriage came down two days later, Mrs. Su would naturally know. Instead of letting her know the news suddenly at that time, it was better for her to go over and explain the matter first.

So Xu Jiayi only rested in the house for a while before going to Wan'an Hall.

Mama Su was a little surprised when she saw Xu Jiayi coming over, after all, the cousin had just come over early in the morning, why did she come here again. Although I was surprised, I still welcomed people in warmly.

"Here they are." Mrs. Su was also very happy to see Xu Jiayi coming over, and pulled her to gossip. It's just that Xu Jiayi, who was always quietly listening to her old woman, was often distracted at this time, and from time to time glanced at her with a look that she wanted to say but couldn't say, and Mrs. Su naturally saw that something was wrong.

Seeing Xu Jiayi's absent-minded appearance, Mrs. Su had some calculations in her heart, which was not much different from the expressions that Cui Qing had made a mistake when Zhao and Qian didn't know how to tell her.

Then he took Xu Jiayi's hand and patted it, "Yiyi, have you encountered something, if you have anything to say, you just say it." My grandmother is such an old person, don't worry that my grandmother won't be able to hold on, I haven't seen any wind and waves, how can I still be unbearable because of something? ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal," Xu Jiayi shook the old lady's hand and curled her lips and chuckled, "It's grandmother, haven't you been worrying about your granddaughter's family affairs, and now there is a candidate, but I don't know that grandmother, you are not satisfied with this grandson-in-law." ”

Mrs. Su intuitively felt that things were not so simple, and motioned for Xu Jiayi to continue, but Xu Jiayi paused and said in a low voice, "You also know this person's grandmother." ”

"Oh?"

When she heard Chu Changfeng's name, Mrs. Su thought that her ears had heard it wrong, and after turning her head and glancing at Mama Su, who was also in disbelief, Mrs. Su was convinced that she had not heard it wrong.

"What's going on, how could the Zhao family marry you and Chu Shizi? He's so much older than you! Old Lady Su calmly raised her eyes and stared at Xu Jiayi, and suddenly thought of something, "You like him?" ”

"Yes," Xu Jiayi said and lowered her head, not daring to look at Mrs. Su's eyes, for fear of being seen through at a glance, "I like him and want to marry him, and I have already told my grandfather about this." I heard that the emperor intends to reward my cousin, maybe he is willing to give Shangshufu a grace and marry my cousin and me. ”

Mrs. Su looked at her fixedly, still a little incredulous.

Chu Changfeng is so much older than her, and he has an unsmiling temperament, Su Rili has a cold face that the maid doesn't dare to serve closely, why do you like him one by one? !

Xu Jiayi was stared at by Mrs. Su's eyes and was uncomfortable, and whispered in a low voice, "Grandmother, don't you agree with your granddaughter marrying him?" ”

"No......" Old Lady Su shook her head and put away the coldness on her face, "Since you like him, I, as a grandmother, am naturally happy for you." I'm a little tired now, so you can go back first. ”

"Then I'll wait for my grandmother to rest."

Waiting for Mrs. Su to get into bed, Xu Jiayi lifted the brocade quilt for her again, knelt on the head of the bed and gently rubbed Mrs. Su's temples. After about a quarter of an hour, Xu Jiayi saw that Mrs. Su's expression was gradually relaxed, and her breathing was also stable, and then she retreated lightly from the inner room.

She turned around and walked out, but she didn't notice that Old Lady Su, who was already asleep, slowly opened her eyes and stared at Xu Jiayi's figure, her eyes sank. Even though Xu Jiayi covered it up very well, Mrs. Su still saw something wrong, but she didn't debunk it when she saw that she deliberately concealed it.

Summoning Mama Su in, Mrs. Su commanded and said, "Go and inquire, who has said something in their ears one by one recently." ”

Mama Su lowered her eyes in response, and after about half an hour, she returned to the inner room again, and whispered the news she got to Mrs. Su.

Hearing this, Mrs. Su's eyes couldn't help but turn red, her family is so sensible, how can she ......

Soon the emperor's decree for marriage came down, the decree arrived on April 21, and the auspicious day for Xu Jiayi's marriage was the first day of the fifth month.

Ordinary people marry their daughters, and the process of three media and six hires goes down, to say the least, it takes three or four months, and the long one or two years is not uncommon. Wang Jing and his daughter-in-law got married after three or four years, but that was because of the need to keep filial piety, which is a special circumstance.

Although he knew that the emperor would not really give Xu Jiayi a year or two before sending Xu Jiayi to the border, he also thought that there would be an interval of several months, but he didn't expect that he would only be given such a short period of ten days.

It's too rushed!

But even if everyone in the house was dissatisfied, they didn't dare to really show it, Xu Jiayi saw that everyone's faces were not good-looking, so she said a few words of relief, Zhao reluctantly nodded, but she thought that the preparations for the marriage needed to be stepped up. Especially the wedding dress, you need to urge the embroidery girl to work day and night.

Wang Yunxiu, who got the news, also rushed back as soon as possible to enlighten Xu Jiayi. Even Cui Qing, who had some festivals with Xu Jiayi in the past, got the news and deliberately rushed back to Shangshu Mansion. Wang Yunxiu and Cui Qing met at the hanging flower gate of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion.

When Wang Yunxiu saw Cui Qing protecting his stomach with one hand and supporting Lan Xue with the other hand and hurriedly went to the backyard, he suddenly felt that the grievances and resentments against Cui Qing in his heart had disappeared at that moment. Wang Yunxiu paused, walked forward quickly and walked to the other side of Cui Qing to support her body.
