"I'm not too young, I'm going to get married after all, I can avoid it for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime. There is no way to stay in the Hou Mansion all the time to take care of Ah Ruo. Since I have to marry, why don't I marry you? Rong Changning raised his eyes and looked at Bai Chuxi: "As your bride, even if someone wants to do something to me, you have to weigh how to explain to the Bai family." As long as I live, those people's knives and guns can only come at me, don't want to hurt Ah Ruo and the eldest sister. ”

When she talked about protecting her eldest sister and younger brother, her expression was so resolute that people felt admiration and pity.

Bai Chuxi thought that Rong Changning was not going well because of the affairs of the back house, but he didn't think that it would come to this point, he smiled and joked with Rong Changning: "It turns out that you want to pull me as a shield?" ”

Rong Changning replied frankly; "Yes."

"I am the only child in my family, and I have no father and mother since I was a child. I was never protected by my sister or brother, I only had my grandmother. When you say that, I envy your family Rongsan. Saying that, Bai Chuxi turned to look at the old tree, and Rong Changning stood beside him and watched together: "At that time, I was really ready to marry into the Bai Mansion, and that was because I didn't know the general and Miss Yue...... If I knew, I wouldn't have stopped you. ”

Bai Chuxi lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I didn't misunderstand Miss Rong Er, I understand what you said." ”

"Since that time when the general expressed his heart to me in Yue's mansion, I have been thinking that maybe the general doesn't need to marry me at all."

"How?"

"The younger sister of the Yue family is fourteen this year, and she is still young. If the general can trust me, a year, only a year, and when I finish these things, he will find a way to retire his relatives. The general is still alone, and the sister of the Yue family is also a wife when she marries into the house. ”

"You're going to say?" Bai Chuxi looked suspicious: "You mentioned the family matter, and you went to retreat again?" What are you holy...... How do you say it? ”

"I have my own way. The white family room has always been supported by the old lady, and she doesn't listen to what she says, and she is just a shell that is strong on the outside and dry in the middle. Now that the general has returned from the battlefield, it is easy to re-support the long house, and he definitely doesn't want to make extraneous branches, I understand this. I have taken care of the cause of my own cause, and I have taken care of the fruit myself. ”

She lowered her head and straightened the hem of her clothes, and such a thrilling and extremely aggrieved thing came out of her mouth, as if she was telling the story of others.

Rong Changning blinked his eyes and saw Bai Chuxi looking at him, and couldn't help frowning: "I said this, but I didn't make the general feel pitiful about me. It's just that...... It's just that this is a holy marriage after all. When you go to talk to your cousin, you say the same, and she can't find any other reason. If she doesn't want to wait for you this year, I'll think of something else. ”

"You're only sixteen, why should you wronged yourself?"

"Days...... It's just getting by. If you don't ask for affection, the peace of the house is good, and if there is affection, it is a surprise. ...... without affection Who to marry is not to marry? ”

Bai Chuxi saw Rong Changning waiting for his answer with an eager face.

Although she pretended to be strong and understated her difficulties, she only temporarily wanted a position to protect herself, and there was really no way to withdraw from the marriage at this time.

Thinking of this, Bai Chuyi nodded: "Okay, a year." ”

Rong Changning was not very happy when he heard that Bai Chuxi had agreed, as if he had expected it. took out the jade pendant that Mrs. Yingguo had just stuffed into her hand: "This...... It looks precious, so I'll give it back to you. ”

"I heard that this is my grandfather's thing, and seeing this jade is like seeing my grandfather, whether it is the old department or the world's friends, it will give a little thin noodles. Grandmother, he likes you very much. ”

Hearing Bai Chuxi say this, Rong Changning was even more difficult to accept: "Then it's better for you to keep it, either return it to the old lady or give it to the sister of the Yue family...... Anyway, it's not supposed to be mine. ”

Bai Chuxi put his hands behind his back and didn't plan to pick it up: "It's better to leave it to you, seeing that your grandmother is like this today, you will inevitably go to her old man to socialize in the future, what is the matter if the things you gave you are gone?" At the end of the one-year period, you can pay me back. ”

"That doesn't seem like a good thing."

"Not so good?" Bai Chuxi smiled, with a clear and breezy appearance: "You have already given in to Miss Durong, why am I going too far?" Well, after such a conversation, my mouth was dry, and I went back to drinking. ”

With that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the upper seat with his head held high.

Rong Changning pinched the jade pendant and was just about to leave, when someone behind him shouted: "Rong Er!" ”

Rong Changning turned around and saw Bai Chuxi standing in the distance of the corridor, the corners of his clothes fluttering, and he smiled at himself: "If you are in trouble in the future, you can ask someone to bring it to me." Thousands of miles away, I will help you out of trouble. ”

Rong Changning guessed correctly at the beginning, such a pair of eyes really looked good when he smiled, so Rong Changning couldn't help but laugh along.

He didn't go out of his way to ask himself for it, nor did he insist on going his own way to recruit the saint to make him ugly, but he just thought that he might have difficulties, and being so empathetic made Rong Changning feel a little guilty.

Even if he doesn't want to accept anyone's affection, but now, there is no better way for Rong Changning. Looking at Bai Chuxi's back, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, just think she owes him.

Turned around and went to find the eldest sister.

The Bai family is really big, I don't know how many times bigger than the Hou Mansion, Rong Changning didn't know where he went, he only felt that the sound of the shooting range was much farther than it sounded just now.

Walking around the rockery in a daze, Rong Changning overheard a sentence: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The prince will also arrive? Baifu's face is really big.

But on the other side was a woman's voice, who had no intention of climbing the wall, but Rong Changning thought that the eldest sister was going to marry into the East Palace after all, thinking that Rong Changning was hiding behind the rockery, waiting to hear the next sentence from the man. 228 Literature Network

"Chu'er inadvertently collided with His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Is that you?"

Yue Chu'er? Prince? Did they meet earlier?

Thinking about Rong Changning, he grabbed the stone crack next to the rockery, lifted the corner of his skirt and stepped on the big stone to look out along the gap, but saw Yue Chu'er sitting on the ground, probably falling, and retracted his feet in fear: "Your Highness......"

The shyness on her face, Rong Chang could rather see that she was unconscious.

I saw Xiao Qizhen wave his hand and call the palace people to help Yue Chu'er up: "Tell General Bai to find someone and send Miss Yue back." ”

Waiting for the people to leave, Rong Changning came down from the rockery with peace of mind. This place is very remote, why is the prince here? Still bumped into Yue Chu'er here?

Rong Changning thought about it while following the sound towards the shooting range, and finally walked out of the maze array in the backyard of the Bai family, and saw the eldest sister talking to the county lord of King Mu's mansion on the side, Rong Changning hurried over: "Eldest sister." ”

"Eh, where have you been? It took so long to come back? Saying that, Rong Ling pulled Rong Changning to his side and sat down: "This is the county lord of Xianghe of King Mu's mansion." ”

"County Lord Ann."

The county lord of Xianghe returned the salute, and Rong Changning pulled the eldest sister aside: "Eldest sister, I have something to say to you." ”

"Then I'll go first." Rong Ling greeted the county lord before following Rong Changning: "What's wrong?" ”

"I just bumped into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the backyard."

"Ahh Rong Ling didn't look surprised at all: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here to celebrate his birthday, and this should be in the front hall." ”

"But I bumped into it in the backyard, and it happened that Yue Chu'er was also there, as if she had been knocked down."

"Really?" Rong Ling's expression finally had a hint of unease: "What happened later? ”

"Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked someone to send Yue Chu'er back, and I heard what the two people meant, and I had seen it before."

Rong Ling nodded: "Previously, the prince sent someone to the mansion to deliver a letter, and it mentioned that he saw it in the hunting ground in the northern suburbs. I thought it was a young boy, but I didn't know how to lose my bun, so I saw that it was a little girl. ”

"Is that so?" Rong Changning pondered for a while: "It's best to be careless." ”

"What did you say?"

"Whether it's a bun in the hunting ground or just falling, it's best if she's not careful, otherwise the eldest sister still has to deal with it well. Thinking about the tricks that Aunt Xu used on her father, these are also trivial. ”

"After all, the prince will inherit the unification in the future, and it is not impossible to accept a few side concubines."

"If Yue Chu'er really has this thought, she really lives up to General Bai's sincerity towards her."

"You ......" Rong Ling didn't know how to pick it up, "You girl." ”

Rong Changning always thought that Yue Chu'er was behind the fight between Rong Ruo and the Yue family, but later he felt that he had wronged her. But after listening to the eldest sister say that she had her hair in a bun in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and she was that arrogant appearance just now, she frowned and always reminded Rong Changning of Aunt Xu at home, and she didn't have a good impression of Yue Chu'er anymore.

But after all, it is the person in Bai Chuxi's heart, for Bai Chuxi's sake, as long as Yue Chu'er does not cause trouble on the eldest sister's side, Rong Changning is willing to live in harmony with her.

As soon as Bai Chuxi went back, he didn't know what to do, and the girl who had just used Rong Changning as a drinking order was immediately invited out. passed in front of Rong Changning's eyes.

This can't help but warm Rong Changning's heart, so that he can eat and drink with peace of mind, until he returns home.

Aunt Xu in the Hou Mansion was waiting for Rong Xin, and when she heard movement at the gate of the courtyard, she hurriedly answered the door: "Xin'er!" ”

"Mother!"

Aunt Xu pulled Rong Xin tightly in the room: "What's the matter?" ”

"What can I do?" Rong Xin's mouth was dry, and as soon as he sat down, he quickly poured himself tea and drank: "That's it." ”

"Why aren't you happy?"

Rong Xin swallowed a few mouthfuls of tea, and slammed the tea cup on the case, so scared Rong Xin on the side that he didn't dare to stretch out his hand: "Originally, I chatted well with a few noble relatives, and they looked at me sensible and willing to be closer, how do you know what kind of arrow Rong Changning ran to the Bai family's shooting range, and also double-arrowed seven coins, which stunned those noble princesses, and the old lady and all the dignitaries at the table ran to the backyard to see her, and they didn't leave anyone else in the limelight." ”

"This Rong Changning ......"
