So there is no need to hide your inner thoughts.

Xie Yutang's proud appearance made Chi Wan unbearable to look at him directly, and there was even more smile in his vast eyes, it was conceivable that Chi Wan's words were better for him than any gift, and they were not worthy of his heart.

"Well, it was originally done, but I was called over by the King of Chu to do other things."

Chi Wan nodded and stopped talking, the atmosphere instantly became very awkward, the summer wind blew slightly, Chi Wan's hair was also blown up by the breeze, the messy hair fluttered at will, and the innocent face had a touch of charm, Chi Wan was originally very beautiful, and she felt even more mysterious under the illumination of the candle flame at night, Xie Yutang only felt that his heart was beating a little faster.

His face turned a little red.

If it weren't for the dim candle flame, Ji Wan would definitely laugh at him.

Chi Wan pinned her messy hair behind her ears with her hand, and said softly, "There's a cool breeze blowing outside, I'm afraid there will be rain tonight." ”

Xie Yutang knew that she was deliberately looking for a topic, and said very cooperatively: "Yes, the weather has been hot recently, and it's time for some rain, and many of the surrounding fields have been drought, if it doesn't rain, I'm afraid there will be a drought." ”

"Is there any movement on the prince's side now?"

"No, it's been quiet lately......" Xie Yutang stopped halfway through speaking, Chi Wan looked at him puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Wan'er, I'm afraid your marriage will be advanced." Xie Yutang lowered his eyelids, and his narrow eyes showed displeasure.

Chi Wan didn't care, this matter would happen sooner or later, although it was to solve Chi Xia, but the problem in front of her was the most critical. You have to come up with a solution first.

"Wan'er, if I fail, do you want to elope with me?" Xie Yutang suddenly asked in a deep voice, his expression even more serious than ever.

Chi Wan frowned and looked at him quietly, neither of them spoke.

After a while, Chi Wan suddenly spoke: "You have no confidence in yourself like this, you can't even protect your own woman, it seems that I have to think about it." ”

Xie Yutang suddenly laughed: "Wan'er, I really love you very much, it's not that I don't have confidence, but I want to prepare for the worst, even if the king of Chu comes out, many things can't be completed at once, it will take some time, why is the prince ruthless, maybe he will make a move in advance, it's not necessarily, I'm worried that it's too late." ”

Chi Wan understands that she must be prepared with both hands to do things, but she will not marry Mu Zhufeng easily.

How could the person she recognized give up so easily.

"Don't worry, there won't be a day, now we have to think of a countermeasure, there's no guarantee that they will come to me one day to talk about it."

Xie Yutang was also worried, how could his sweetheart say that he was taken away by someone.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Chi Wan looked at the teacup on the table, and suddenly thought about it. smiled: "I have a way." ”

"Tell me about it."

Ji Wan was just about to open her mouth, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Xie Yutang saw her mysterious appearance, so he really didn't ask any more, the two of them said a few more words, and Xie Yutang left.

In the morning, Chi Fangrui specially asked Chi Wan to come over.

When Ji Wan's eyes dimmed when she heard this, she knew it in her heart. I followed the next person to the lobby.

Chi Fangrui sat on the main seat in his official robe, sipping tea.

"Father." Chi Wan saluted and said.

Chi Fangrui raised his head when he heard the voice and said, "Wan'er hasn't left yet." ”

"Yes, thanks to my father who gave those maids to Wan'er, Wan'er can be much easier now." Ji Wan said softly.

Chi Fangrui nodded, put down the teacup in his hand and said: "My father called you over today to tell you that General Mu has sent a dowry gift, and there were a lot of things before, and there are no scruples, and now that the bad things have passed, you can also talk about your marriage." ”

Chi Wan bowed her head and was silent, it seems that what Xie Yutang said was not wrong, the marriage was really advanced.

"Father, can you delay the time?"

Chi Fangrui frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

"I was also managing the store for Shangshu Mansion before, and Wan'er first made up for the deficit in Shangshu Mansion, and she was talking about marriage." Chi Wan can only use this reason, and she really doesn't want to use the strategy she thought of yesterday.

Chi Fangrui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "If you are worried about this, you can rest assured, even if you get married, your store is still yours, and this will be your dowry." ”

"But father, in this way, Shangshufu will not be able to get the silver, if it is really in the General's Mansion, bring the silver in the store to Shangshufu, it will definitely be ridiculed by the people in the General's Mansion, and it will be said that Wan'er will supplement her mother's family."

When Chi Fangrui heard this, who would dislike having a lot of silver, but now General Mu has said it more than once, and he doesn't know how to explain it in the court, don't offend him when the time comes, and it will be difficult for the prince to solve it.

Seeing that he hesitated, there was still hope, and continued: "Father, since you have already accepted General Mu's dowry, what are you worried about? ”

"What Wan'er said makes sense, but since General Mu has sent a dowry, it is naturally difficult to shirk, Wan'er, if General Mu really cares about you, he will not limit the matter of silver, you can not worry about this, for the father will talk to General Mu about this matter, if he really cares, he can only advance your marriage."

Chi Wan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as there was room for negotiation, she was really afraid that Chi Fangrui would not agree, and then she would have to work hard again, she had to ask Xie Yutang to come over at night, if Chi Fangrui's talk was not successful, she would also implement the next plan.

Chi Wan came to the store and watched those maids sitting behind doing needlework, Chi Wan had to admire that it was a woman's family, and the work was a lot more exquisite.

The five maids are also very comfortable, much better than in the second aunt, not scolded or beaten, just doing some needlework.

It was already a great gift to them.

Tilt embroidery showed Chi Wan the account books of the past few days, and Chi Wan was satisfied with Tilt Embroidery, she managed the money very well, and naturally she was very relieved.

Zhao Wan came to find Chi Wan today when she had nothing to do, and Chi Wan was naturally very happy, so she took her to the backyard, and the two of them sat there drinking tea.

Thinking about the previous events, it was really changeable, who would have thought that two people could sit together peacefully and drink tea.

"County Lord, if I have heard about the affairs of Shangshu Mansion, you should be doing very well now." Zhao Wanru looked at Chi Wan carefully, her complexion was much better, and it was very different from the first time she met.

Chi Wan smiled slightly: "You can call me Chi Wan, don't be so restrained." "She really doesn't like the title of county lord.

I still feel like I'm a little bit superior.

"Yes, Ji Wan." Zhao Wanru covered her mouth and smiled, she was really a little puzzled by her temper, many people wanted to let everyone in the world know about it when they got the right, but she was the opposite.

"Why are you free to come here today?"

"I heard that you are going to marry General Mu, so I came to congratulate you." Zhao Wanru said very calmly, the emotions in her eyes still betrayed her.

Chi Wan saw it clearly, she didn't speak, she couldn't comment on Zhao Wanru's attachment to Mu Zhufeng, and if she asked Xie Yutang to marry another woman, she wouldn't be able to accept it.

In comparison, she is still very measured.

"Zhao Wanru, what do you like about Mu Zhufeng?" Chi Wan picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip, the tea brought by Xie Yutang was delicious, the taste was light, the teeth were mellow and fragrant, and it was evocative.

Zhao Wanru was stunned, raised her head and looked at the indifferent Chi Wan, and really didn't know what to say for a while.

"I ......"

"Like his handsomeness? Or do you like his heroic appearance? ”

Zhao Wanru lowered her head, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, looked at the sky, and said: "It should be his heroic posture, at that time he returned from a great victory, and the people of the whole city were supporting him, and I was no exception, wearing yellow armor, tall body, and a pair of bright eyes, I liked him at that time." ”

Chi Wan understands the mind of an ancient woman, who doesn't like heroes, and they are also heroes who have returned from a great victory, and they are celebrities in front of the emperor.

But she doesn't like it very much, she just doesn't want to marry a man at will, and she is a man who only has one side. As for Xie Yutang, it was an accident.

"Chi Wan, do you have a sweetheart?" Zhao Wanru suddenly asked.

Chi Wan replied: "I'm all the one who wants to marry Mu Zhufeng, isn't it a bit redundant for you to ask such a question!" ”

"I can see that you don't like Mu Zhufeng."

"How so?" Ji Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, is she so obvious?

Zhao Wanru shook her head, a shallow smile hung on her face, and said: "I can't see the joy of getting married on your face, on the contrary, there is a trace of sorrow, thinking about whether you can't be with your sweetheart anymore, so you look like this." ”

Ji Wan didn't speak.

Zhao Wanru's eyes dimmed instantly, she could understand the feeling of not being able to be with her sweetheart, she couldn't be happy with each other, but what was the use, wasn't it still the words of the matchmaker of her parents, as for being with her sweetheart, it was just a luxury.

In the evening, Xie Yutang came on time, and Chi Wan sat in the courtyard in a daze, thinking that it would be better to meet Xie Yutang in the store.

"Why do you look sad every time you come over?" Xie Yutang's ridiculous voice sounded. Ji Wan glanced at him, and really wanted to say who she was for.

Xie Yutang walked over and stretched out his hand to gently lift her chin, his eyes stared at Chi Wan's eyes tightly, as if to explore her heart, Chi Wan was stunned by his actions, it was the first time they looked at each other so closely.

"Wan'er." Xie Yutang's hoarse voice echoed in Chi Wan's ears, and his vast eyes revealed a trace of lust.

Ji Wan's heartbeat instantly sped up by a few beats, and she turned her head sideways with a red face.

It can be regarded as stopping Xie Yutang.

"I'm looking for you to have something to tell you."
