Chapter 46: The Marriage Period
Jin Ling was the Jin family who followed Jin Xiang back to the fourteenth night.
No one mentioned anything about the previous events.
At the dinner, everyone ate silently with their own hearts.
Even the old lady of the Jin family called out a few times when she first came, my son, you are fine, and after that, she didn't talk much.
After a dull dinner, the family sat down.
The atmosphere was foreign to her.
Accustomed to eating alone, and suddenly the family sat together and were all other people's relatives, Jin Ling felt very embarrassed.
"Jiu'er......" The old lady of the Jin family took her hand, "You come back and live." It's not that grandma is stopping you, the gap between us and the prince is too big, and the son of the world is not determined, even if the two of you are okay at this time, no one can say what will happen in the future. This girl is like a flower, the flowering period is very short, if it is wrong, it is the fault of a lifetime, there are flowers and no fruits, until it withers and falls. ”
The old lady of the Jin family said and gave a long sigh and glanced at Jin Xing: "You just say it." You can't hide it. ”
"What's wrong?" Jin Ling looked at Jin Xing with a faint smile.
"King Qi has replied!" Jin Xing sighed lightly, "The letter hopes to get married as soon as possible." The wedding date is set for the eighth day of the ninth month, the twentieth birthday of King Qi. ”
"Huh?" Jin Ling froze suddenly, "The eighth day of the ninth month? It can't be this year, right? ”
Jin Xing nodded: "Dad knows, you don't want to, but at that time, Dad did sign a marriage letter with the old prince, if we regret the marriage......"
Jin Xing sighed and stopped talking, and now he alone knows that the King of Qi said in the letter that if they repent of their marriage, they will destroy the Jin family.
"If you regret it, you will regret it!" Jin Xiang glared, "Then the King of Qi has canceled our Jin family's order." What kind of marriage contract does such an untrustworthy person talk about? ”
"There's also a silver ticket in the letter." Jin Xing said in a low voice, "The ticket amount is ten times the amount of money we can make by sending out all the flowers and trees......"
"Ten times?" Jin Xiang couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a big deal? ”
"What conditions does he have?" Jin Ling couldn't help but be vigilant.
"There are no conditions." Jin Xing smiled reluctantly, "I said let's prepare for the September wedding." ”
"Then is his silver ticket a compensation or a dowry? If it's a dowry, it's definitely not enough! Jin Xiang puffed up.
"Indemnification!" Jin Xing sighed lightly, "As for the dowry, it will be sent in June." ”
"The letter is still there, can you show it to me?" It was more than she expected. It's something you can't even dream of. In her dreams, she had never married Qi Huan.
Jin Xing smiled, "I've already put it up, on the cabinet, if you have to look at it, I'll get it for you when my father is free." ”
After dinner, Jin Xiang accompanied Jin Ling to the back garden.
"Sister, you don't care, whoever you like, you can be with whomever you like. According to me, the son of the world must be sincere to you. Jin Xiang comforted.
Jin Ling shook his head: "Even if it's sincere, he won't marry me!" It's four or five years before he reaches adulthood, and how old I will be by then. ”
First love is infinitely good, but you can't get it. She understands this.
"That sister can't marry that King of Qi!" Jin Xiang paused, "What did you say happened to my father?" Obviously, as I said before, as long as there is a way, I won't let you get married. How can this be so easy to agree. ”
"Because it's not equal!" Jin Ling looked up at the full moon in the sky, "So I don't have the right to speak." ”
Jin Xing sent a letter to King Qi asking to cancel the marriage contract, and King Qi directly replied to set the marriage date. I didn't take the Kim family seriously at all.
"Otherwise, my sister will run away from marriage." Jin Xiang tugged at Jin Ling's sleeve, "Isn't that bodyguard with ten taels of gold very powerful?" When the time comes, you let him rob you halfway. In other words, you are running away when you get to the Qi country. This mountain is big, you run away, he will find it! ”
At this moment, Liu Yi, who was half-lying on the roof of the house and listening to the conversation between the brothers and sisters from afar, couldn't help laughing.
If this brother of the Jin family knew that he was Qi Huan's guard, he would definitely be stupid to death by his own thoughts.
"Did you see that letter?" Jin Ling said in a low voice, "I always feel that my father has something to say. And his expression wasn't quite right. ”
"No! I went to the book club early this morning, and I'll pick you up after school. ”
"You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the book club, and go back to sleep early." Jin Ling said and turned around and walked towards the boudoir.
Jin Xiang's room was in the west, and in the moonlight, the brother and sister went back to their rooms.
When he was about to reach the door, Jin Ling shouted to the roof: "The fifth test, find the letter of King Qi within three days." ”
Liu Yi fell in front of Jin Ling in an instant, "I am a bodyguard, not a thief." Are you asking me to steal your house? ”
"It's not stealing!" Jin Ling smiled, "You can take it for me to see, and then put it back unnoticed." For you who are very good at light work, this is not difficult. ”
"But what does this have to do with bodyguards!" Liu Yi leaned on the door frame with his hands folded.
"Absolutely! This is a quality that a bodyguard must have. Jin Ling said with a serious face, "Do you think, if one day I am kidnapped by the gangsters and locked up in a place you don't know, you can quickly rescue me without alarming the gangsters, then you are a qualified bodyguard." ”
"!" Liu Yi smiled, "With me here, who would dare to hold you hostage!" It is already unqualified to let the patron be held hostage by the gangsters. ”
Jin Ling blinked, then smiled and said, "How about another assessment?" ”
"The other one!" Liu Yi smiled sullenly, "No problem, I'll go!" ”
Before Liu Yi's voice fell, the person disappeared.
In fact, even if Jin Ling didn't let him steal it, he was ready to peek at it.
He was very curious, how could Qi Huan reply to the Jin family with a letter about the wedding date.
Obviously, he asked him to get rid of Jin Ling before.
After Liu Yi left, Jin Ling washed and changed clothes, and then sat on the bed and read.
Jin Ling's room has a lot of books. It can be said that it is not a small study.
Jin Ling selected a few books such as customs and geography.
It was all new to her, and she still had so much more to know.
"Girl......" Rui'er sat in front of Jin Ling's bed and said in a low voice, "Actually, your favorite thing to read in the past was the geography of Qi Kingdom." You always say that you are going to marry sooner or later, so it's better to understand the situation over there as soon as possible......" Rui'er spoke, looked at Jin Ling, saw her staring at the book and continued, "Actually, you told Rui'er before, you are very sympathetic to King Qi." You also said that if you marry, you will definitely treat him well. You also said that sincerity is open. Even if King Qi is not good, one day he will understand your hard work. The prodigal son's ..... that doesn't change his money"
"I said that?" Jin Ling couldn't help but look at the little girl in front of her.
Could this little girl have already discovered that she is not the girl she used to be?
"You've said that more than once." Rui'er met Jin Ling's gaze and said, "Since I knew that you had a marriage contract with King Qi, you regarded yourself as King Qi's concubine." You've bought lots and lots of books, a lot of books that you've never read before. You've read them all by heart. ”
"With King Qi's reputation not good, the old lady and the old man did have the idea of not wanting you to marry in the past. But you never said you didn't want to get married. On the contrary, you have always regarded yourself as the princess of Qi. The slave is very curious, why did you suddenly get along with the son? ”
