Chapter 17: Peace and Joy

When Xu Jiheng and Sister Xu arrived, the son surnamed Zhou was already waiting on the Yunshui Bridge, probably because he was afraid that Sister Xu would not remember his appearance, and he couldn't be seen in the crowd.

Fortunately, the son of the Zhou family does not look good, but he is indeed upright, so he is not bad in that dress, at least he doesn't look disobedient overall.

Zhou Gongzi looked through the autumn water, and saw Miss Xu walking towards him at a glance, and then smiled and squinted, and then coughed again, and finally restrained his expression slightly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but convey his surprise and joy at the moment.

Sister Ah looked very calm, she bowed her head in the direction of Zhou Gongzi at the head of the bridge, and then turned her head to look at Xu Yun, and said: "Since you must come with you, then settle down, don't run around again, I will go to Xu Bo's teahouse to find you in about an hour, if you are not there, I will not wait for you to go home by yourself." ”

Xu Jiheng couldn't help but look at Zhou Gongzi on the other end, of course Zhou Gongzi noticed Xu Jiheng's gaze, and he also knew that Miss Xu had a younger brother, and the two sisters and brothers looked very similar, Zhou Gongzi smiled kindly at Xu Jiheng, Xu Jiheng saw that the man found out that he was looking at him, and then he was a little panicked, and looked at his sister honestly, not daring to look at it.

Although Xu Jiheng said that he was absent-minded, he remembered every word of Sister A's words, "Sister don't worry," he controlled himself and no longer looked in the direction of Zhou Gongzi, and lowered his voice: "Sister herself... Be careful, too. ”

In fact, there is a certain distance between the two sides, where can I hear the other end of the conversation, but the book Xu Jiheng read warned him not to talk about people's badness behind his back, although it is normal to say such a sentence to his sister, but Xu Jiheng is still a little weak-hearted, as if he is hinting that Sister Zhou's son is not a good person.

Sister Xu touched Xu Jiheng's head with a smile, and went with a smile, Xu Jiheng kept staring at Sister A's back in place, until Sister A had already walked to Zhou Gongzi's side, and when the two looked at him together, he hurriedly turned around and left.

When he felt that he had walked out of a distance, Xu Jiheng quickly hid behind a tree, he carefully peeked out from behind the tree, and looked at Sister A and Zhou Gongzi, who were talking from time to time at an appropriate distance from the bridge, seeing that neither of them noticed his side, Xu Jiheng breathed a sigh of relief.

But before this breath was completely relaxed, he felt someone behind him pat him on the shoulder, and at the same time, Xu Yun's eyes showed a chill.

Xu Jiheng didn't take a bluff, he really jumped up, and even jumped and turned around, and before he could see the person in front of him, he subconsciously grabbed the big tree he was leaning on behind him - his legs were weak.

The person who slapped him didn't expect Xu Jiheng's reaction to be so big, and he was also frightened. The two stared at each other and did not speak.

I don't know how long it was silent, but the other person laughed first, and said a little apologetically: "It's me who is too careless, scaring the child, I'm really sorry." ”

Fu Rusi heard Xu Yunleng beside him snorted.

This young man was dressed in a moon-white silk robe, with fine white jade around his waist, and at a glance he knew that he was from a rich family, although he was fashionable and young, this person's facial features had not yet fully grown, but Fu Rusi looked at him for a moment and still recognized him.

The appearance of this person on that day was the end of Xu Yun's dream, and Fu Rusi still remembered that Xu Jiheng called him "Yu An" at that time.

Xu Jiheng still didn't come to his senses, but looking at the other party's polite appearance, he also subconsciously replied: "It's okay, I don't know what the son is looking for me?" ”

Both of them are only in the preschool years of about ten years old, and their childishness is still not out, but they both look like they are old, which is interesting to watch.

The little boy named "Yu An" walked to Xu Jiheng's side, and as he did before, he looked out from behind the tree and looked in the direction of Yunshui Bridge, and when he saw that the two had not left, he was relieved.

He turned to Xu Jiheng and said, "The boy Zhou on the bridge is my cousin. ”

Xu Jiheng was stunned for a moment, and followed his words: "The other one is my sister." ”

The young man smiled again, he seemed to suddenly react to something, patted his head, and bowed, "I forgot to say, my name is Zhao Yu'an, you can call me Yu'an." ”

Xu Jiheng also hurriedly returned the salute and said, "I call Xu Jiheng, you... You name it. ”

Xu Jiheng did not go to a private school, but only occasionally went to a familiar master's house in the town and asked about the places he couldn't understand one by one. He does have talent, sometimes his sister will also read a book together, if you don't understand, Xu Jiheng will explain it to her, for so many years, she has been accompanied by her own sister, and there are no other peers to play with, so when he meets a peer at this moment, he doesn't know how to get along with each other for a while.

In a few words, the two have exchanged each other's ages, and even where their homes are, Zhao Yu'an is not from this town, but he will go back here for a while at this time of year.

Xu Jiheng at this age is not vigilant, or it may be that the other party's dress is really not like ordinary people, no matter how you look at it, he is the son of a wealthy family like Zhou Gongzi, so Zhao Yu'an said that he was Zhou Gongzi's cousin, so he believed it.

Zhao Yu'an turned his head to look out again, Xu Jiheng was about to follow him to look over, Zhao Yu'an pulled his sleeve, Xu Jiheng looked at him.

Zhao Yu'an may also feel weak-hearted, subconsciously lowered his voice, approached Xu Jiheng and said, "They are leaving here, we have to be careful to keep up." ”

Xu Jiheng wanted to pretend to be serious, and he was a little reluctant to do such a similar behavior in front of others, but he was indeed relieved that he couldn't rest assured that his sister was not at ease, not to mention that Zhao Yu'an was also doing such a thing, and the two were "in the same stream", and no one would say that it was not.

And if there is someone with a weak heart together, it is also regarded as giving each other "courage".

The two little teenagers followed behind the two of them secretly, and Sister Xu and Zhou Gongzi walked slowly in front, still talking intermittently. Most of the time, Zhou Gongzi racked his brains to find a topic, and Sister Ah listened quietly, responding when it was time to respond, and occasionally being amused by Zhou Gongzi's words, Zhou Gongzi smiled even more happily when he saw her smile at the corner of her eyes.

Xu Jiheng and Zhao Yu'an followed back and forth, Xu Jiheng suddenly couldn't react that something was wrong, and asked Zhao Yu'an in a low voice: "If you follow me like this, won't the family look for you everywhere?" ”

Zhao Yu'an paid attention to the two people in front of him, and said a little slyly: "They know that I came out with my cousin today, but my cousin was about to send me away as soon as he arrived at the Yunshui Bridge, I was really curious, so I didn't go far, oh, I just stayed at the back of the tree you hid." ”

Xu Jiheng was puzzled: "Is your family relieved that you are alone?" ”

In his impression, such a son-in-law should have many people behind him wherever he goes, where will he rest assured that he is alone in this busy city?

Zhao Yu'an smiled, "I don't like to be lively since I was a child, I will try to avoid it if I don't go out, my family wishes I could go out and walk alone, and as long as I am in this town, I will not lose it." ”

Xu Jiheng nodded, after all, the Zhou family is the most powerful family in this town, although no one is clearly following behind this little young master, and there are few people behind him who are watching and protecting his safety.

Sister Xu said that it was an hour, and before that, she told Zhou Gongzi that she wanted to leave, although Zhou Gongzi was reluctant, he was also considerate and did not make much trouble, and after making an appointment with her to meet next time, I sent her to the door of the teahouse, until Sister A's figure disappeared on the second floor, and then left.

At that time, Xu Jiheng noticed what Sister A meant, and had already taken a shortcut all the way to the teahouse to sit down, and only had time to say goodbye to Zhao Yu'an in a hurry before leaving.

After that, Sister Xu and Zhou Gongzi met a few more times, and Xu Jiheng followed him twice, but he didn't see Zhao Yu'an's figure again, probably because he had already gone home, Xu Jiheng no longer had doubts about Zhou Gongzi, so he lost interest in going again, and stayed at home honestly.

A month later, Xu Jiheng followed Sister A to the Zhou Mansion to see the old lady of the Zhou family, the old lady had an unnatural smile on her face, obviously still not very satisfied with the sister of the Xu family, but because Zhou Gongzi was there, it was not easy to have a seizure, so she had to try to pretend to be peaceful.

But after asking Sister A few words in a fake way, surprise flashed in the eyes of the two, and they finally planned to take a look at Sister Xu with their eyes.

After a meal, the old lady's attitude towards Sister A and Xu Jiheng had already become friendly, they originally thought that the Xu family's sister and brother were poor, and they were probably vulgar in terms of knowledge and behavior, and they couldn't get into the eyes, but Sister A's conversation made their eyes shine, and Xu Jiheng also knew how to be respectful, humble and polite.

After all, they have no opinion on this marriage, and they are ready for the unrest of life in the family in the future, and anyone who admits that this is not the case will be happy.

They finalized the auspicious day half a month later.

The day before the marriage of the Xu family, Sister Xu held Xu Jiheng's hand, she smiled lightly under the candlelight, there was happiness and expectation in her eyes, there was no trace of uneasiness, she said: "We will leave here from tomorrow, don't worry, don't be afraid, Sister is still there." ”

There are no elders in the family for a long time, Sister A's dowry was added with the help of Mrs. Zhou's house, and Sister A went to Zhou's house twice in the past half a month to chat with Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou became more and more satisfied with Sister A, so this dowry was also nowhere to be done. In the words of the matchmaker, Sister A gave birth to a good life, although the first ten years were hard, but now the hardships are sweet, and then there are countless good days, from now on there will be no worries about food and clothing, peace and joy.

On the day of the wedding, the red makeup was ten miles, and the dowry alone took up half the street, Xu Jiheng sat in the carriage and heard passers-by say that this was the grandest and most grand wedding they had ever seen in decades.

Xu Jiheng watched the son of the Zhou family take Sister A's hand with great cherishment, and there was no promise of a lifetime and a couple. Just say, having me for a day will only make you better and better every day, since you have promised me your whole life, I can't bear to let you be lost.
