Chapter 5 Marriage
"The prince is really Yaxing today." Ji Jiuhua quipped.
Gu Qin and Ji Jiuhua, how to say it, the relationship is a little delicate, although they are equally famous, they are the same names of the two extremes.
"I'm afraid Miss Su won't be able to go with you today." Ji Jiuhua returned to his usual lazy posture and said slowly, "He is now my fiancΓ©e, and he will get married soon." β
"Don't you have a sweetheart?" Gu Qin asked, and his eyebrows unconsciously added a bit of forbearance.
"I ......"
"Why can't her sweetheart be me?"
"She grew up in Panlong Town since she was a child, how have she ever seen you?" If Su Manxue really had a sweetheart, he might be understandable, but Ji Jiuhua was obviously not the so-called sweetheart. He can understand that Su Manxue quit the marriage in pursuit of true love, but he must not accept that "true love" to become this Ji Jiuhua who fell from the sky.
"Then you ask her."
Gu Qin looked at Su Manxue, and his eyes seemed to be trying to see her through, as if Su Manxue dared to say yes, he could immediately skin him alive.
Su Manxue was stunned. Didn't Gu Qin look gentle and polite, a humble gentleman, why did he look like a cannibal now.
beat the drum in his heart, but he still chose to say timidly: "I will marry him." β
Gu Qin's heart suddenly sank deeply, he clearly didn't love her, but why did he react so strongly?
Su Manxue was finally brought back to Panlong Town, and as soon as she returned home, she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and copy the "Women's Ring" a hundred times. In my heart, it was bitter.
The marriage in Pingyang Palace's mansion was gone, and when Su Zhengyi was still worried about Su Manxue's rich marriage, the Ji family's dowry was delivered to the door at the right time.
The richest man in Lizhou City is really a "rich marriage".
But this season's reputation of Jiuhua, he has also heard that he will fail in every exam, and he will be riddled with decay, compared with Su Manxue, it is even better.
Such a person, Su Manxue is married, is it really good?
"My lord, please rest assured, the master of the Ji family has already found someone to get together, the best marriage, some time ago, Zixu Zhenren also personally came to the Ji Mansion to promote this god-given good fate." The matchmaker Wang who came to give the dowry opened her mouth with a smile, in fact, she secretly beat the drum in her heart, the eight characters of these two people are all cloudy and cloudy, which is terrifying, but the Ji family insists that this is a god-sent fate, and it is destined, so she has to do as she says.
"Purple Void True Man?" Su Zhengyi was shocked, that is the person who has received the emperor's favor, I heard that the ability is great.
There is no longer any hesitation.
After some agreement, it's time to get engaged. The Ji family coincidentally chose the eighth day of the fifth month, which was the wedding day originally scheduled by Su Manxue and Gu Qin, and the Ji family was not far from the Pingyang Palace, didn't this properly sweep the face of the Pingyang Palace?
In the end, it was finally changed to May 15.
The good news soon spread from Lizhou City.
When the people heard that the future daughter-in-law of the richest man Ji's family was the one who had the audacity to withdraw from the marriage contract of the prince, the gossip was even more excessive for a while.
Su Manxue has a cousin named Li Yuan'er, who is the daughter of her father's own sister, with good looks, her father is an ordinary cement worker, not to mention that he can't make any money, he is still a typical patriarch, short-tempered, and has always been mean to Li Yuan'er, often beating and scolding.
Li Yuan'er was already envious of the Su family holding Su Manxue in the palm of her hand, but now she heard that she was going to marry the richest man in Lizhou City, and she was even more jealous that she couldn't swallow it, and it tasted like chewing wax. Thinking of the gold, silver and jewelry in the courtyard of the Ji family, he suddenly had a plan, and excitedly took his mother Su's hand: "Mother, I have a way to let our family live a prosperous life from now on, without worrying about food and clothing!" β
Su Shi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What method?" β
Li Yuan'er mysteriously leaned into Su's ear and whispered. After hearing this, Su Shi was frightened, and waved his hand again and again: "No, I don't want to, your uncle treats our family well." β
"Mother, look at Su Manxue, her reputation is ruined, but she is still treated as a treasure, is she worthy? If you think about it, you took your whole life for the sake of your uncle's future, and now it's time for them to compensate us. You don't owe it to your uncle, but the Su family owes you. β
Su Shi thought that the family's money was given to Su Zhengyi to study, and how shabby and shabby her dowry when she got married was also harmed by the white eyes of her in-laws' family over the years, and she was immediately moved by Li Yuan'er.
"Okay, mother help you!"
The mother and son were combined for a while, and they had completely lost their minds.
The wedding date is approaching, and Su Manxue is very happy, not because she is about to get married, but because she has survived the eighth day of the fifth month. Sure enough, if she didn't marry Gu Qin, she would be stable in this life.
The bright and moving daughter is finally getting married, and her mother Meng Shi can't help but be moved. caressed her head lovingly, and praised her again and again. Even if a tough guy is like his father Su Zhengyi, he can't help but turn his back and secretly wipe his tears.
Meng Shi took Su Manxue's hand, and just as he was about to go out, the door was pushed open with a bang, followed by a crying cry.
"Sister-in-law, you have to make the decision for me, that person who has suffered a thousand knives wants to kill me. I gave birth to him, where did I not stop him, he wanted to do this to me? Su Shi rushed in and hugged Meng's legs, his hair was scattered, like a crazy woman, howling to the sky.
Meng's face was extremely ugly. Today is Su Manxue's big day, but Su Shi doesn't know etiquette like this.
"Sister-in-law, look, that beast is simply ruthless, he really wants to kill me!" With that, he lifted up his sleeves to reveal his scarred arms, dripping with blood and even freshly chopped knife wounds.
Meng Shi was so angry that he saw blood on a happy day, which was too unlucky.
There was a faint shouting and scolding voice from Li Daquan, a man from the Su family: "Stinky woman, get out of here, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you!" β
The Su family has always been cowardly, no matter how Li Daquan beat and scolded her in the past, she didn't dare to go to the Su family to complain, but today she didn't care about making trouble with the Su family, maybe Li Daquan really forced her to be ruthless today.
"Don't you know what day it is? What a system! "The Meng family is angry, in the Su family, Su Manxue's matter is the top priority.
"Sister-in-law, who doesn't know that you obey my brother's rule, you only have one daughter in Manxue, my brother would rather cut off the Su family's incense than take a concubine, deal with men, you have always had the means, you can help me, you teach me." Su Shi obviously had something to say.
While speaking, Su's eyes caught a glimpse of Su Manxue's phoenix crown, obediently, such a big pearl, it was just blinding her eyes, and the Ji family's shot was really generous. Soon, though, it will all belong to her daughter.
"Auntie wants my mother to help you persuade your uncle?" Su Manxue said lightly.
