Jiang Xuanjin returned home, and his face was not very good-looking all the way. When the house slaves passing by saw him, they were so frightened that they lowered their heads and retreated several steps.

"Uncle." Jiang Yan had just finished today's schoolwork, and when he walked by the corridor, he saw him like this, and came up and saluted, "What's wrong with you?" Sick? ”

Jiang Xuanjin turned his head sideways, and saw Jiang Yan smiling with red lips and white teeth, wearing a royal blue brocade robe, and a woven satin on his forehead wiped his forehead, decorated with a white jade gem, warm and bright.

With such a good appearance and such a good temperament, whoever sees it has to praise him for his dragon and phoenix posture and beautiful jade nature. It's a pity to marry an immodest woman like Miss Bai Si.

Coughing twice, Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes and said, "I'm fine, where are you going?" ”

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "I just came out of my master's side, and I plan to go and ask my grandfather to say goodbye." But...... Look at the uncle's appearance, nephew should send you back to Moju first. ”

Jiang Xuanjin didn't refuse, pursed his lips and continued to walk forward.

"Uncle, is there any trouble here?" Jiang Yan said as he walked, "It's been a long time since I've seen you so impatient." ”

Or rather, I've never seen him so impatient. On weekdays, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, he will think about how to save the country and save the people, and the slightest worry will not leak out.

But right now, he was surrounded by anger.

Being reminded by him like this, Jiang Xuanjin was slightly startled, only then did he realize that something was not quite right, and he quickly calmed down.

“…… Nothing was too much trouble. "He didn't start," he just went to Baifu. ”

White House? Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes sank: "What are you doing there?" ”

Listening to this moment's unhappy tone, Jiang Xuanjin twisted his eyebrows slightly: "It's your eighteenth birthday soon, what do you say I'm going to do?" ”

Jiang Yan sulked his face: "Uncle, I don't want to marry Miss Bai Si." ”

"I can't help you."

Stepping into the ink house, Jiang Xuanjin sat down on the soft couch, took the tea handed by Chengxu and drank two sips: "This is your mother's engagement before her death, if you want to destroy it, you will have to be beaten by your father for half your life." ”

"Hit it!" Jiang Yan stroked his robe and sat beside him, "I'd rather him beat me to death than marry a fool back!" ”

Idiot? Jiang Xuanjin sneered. If she Bai Zhuji is a fool, there will be no smart people in this world. Look at the means of hooking up with people, when he sees a man, he hugs and hugs, and he is still mixed with Lu Jingxing. It's a shame that he didn't believe what she said, otherwise she really had a lot of sincerity!

Jiang Yan was depressed, turned his head to look at his uncle's face, and stood up in fright: "I...... I was wrong, don't be angry! I didn't mean to gossip behind people's backs! ”

Jiang Xuanjin glanced at him and frowned slightly: "Which eye did you see that I was angry?" ”

I saw it with both eyes! Jiang Yan was very flustered, standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, like a child who had made a mistake.

took advantage of the void to look at it, and finally couldn't see it, and whispered: "Little young master, don't worry, the master is not angry with you." ”

Well? Not mad at him? Jiang Yan's heart was relieved, and he wondered: "Who was born here?" ”

glanced at the silent master, and smiled: "Who can guess, maybe it's the reason why he is still sick." If the little young master has nothing else to do, it is better to go and ask the old lady for peace first. ”

"I'm going to go." Jiang Yan said, and looked at Jiang Xuanjin again, "Uncle, the day after tomorrow is my birthday, you have to take care of your body, and give me a hair gift when the time comes." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xuanjin bowed his head.

"Then the nephew will retire first."

"Wait." Jiang Xuanjin called out to him, "Did you send the invitation to Baifu?" ”

At the mention of Baifu, Jiang Yan's face collapsed again: "It's sent, can you still not send it?" My dad personally sent it. ”

"Got one?"

"Nature."

Half-closed, Jiang Xuanjin twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and said lightly: "Let's make up another one, and give it to Miss Bai Si alone." ”

Jiang Yan was taken aback when he heard it: "Why? ”

It stands to reason that an invitation to invite a family is enough, but he wishes that Miss Bai Si had a headache and brain fever and couldn't come, so why should he give a separate one?

Jiang Xuanjin glanced up at him.

As soon as the cold gaze fell on his body, Jiang Yan immediately became honest, clenched his fists and said, "My nephew will let someone send it tomorrow." ”

"Go ahead."

"Yes, my nephew is leaving."

Watching him withdraw, Chengxu couldn't help but whisper: "The little young master is really resistant to this marriage." ”

"So what?" Loosening his cloak, Jiang Xuanjin changed his clothes and rested, his voice hoarse and dull, "It's up to him to decide." ”

glanced at him, and whispered: "Actually, there is room for it, as long as you go to the old lady and say a few words......"

Jiang Xuanjin looked at him coldly: "Why should I say it?" ”

The marriage that has been decided a long time ago, even if it is not a good girl for the family, it should be his eldest brother Jiang Chong who is in charge, what is he involved in?

He didn't dare to say anything more, so he honestly took out his bedclothes and changed them for him.

Early the next morning.

Huaiyu opened his eyes, and when he turned his head, he saw Lingxiu sitting at the table embroidering clothes. The oil lamp on the table was half-bright, and I was afraid that it had been lit all night.

"You girl." Sitting up with his body propped up, Huaiyu said, "Why are you so dead-eyed?" ”

Lingxiu was so frightened that she almost poked the needle in her hand, and looked up at her, her eyes were bloodshot: "Miss, are you awake?" The slave and maid will go and bring you breakfast. ”

"You can rest for a while." Getting out of bed to change clothes angrily, Huaiyu said, "Are you walking steadily now?" Don't hit the bowl halfway and look like you're going to cry. ”

Lingxiu flattened her mouth and wanted to argue for herself, but Li Huaiyu's movements were extremely fast, and she got dressed in two or three clicks, rinsed her mouth and wiped her face and walked out.

After thinking about it, Lingxiu still picked up the clothes and continued to embroider.

In the early morning, many people in Baifu began to get busy, Huaiyu found the kitchen in a hurry, and the cook smiled when she saw her: "Congratulations to the fourth lady, I heard that my body is very good." ”

Huaiyu smiled politely at her and said, "I'll get breakfast." ”

When the cook heard this, she immediately turned around and put two bowls of gruel and a few plates of side dishes, put them on a tray and handed them to her: "It's time for breakfast, Miss Fourth take it." ”

Glancing at the dishes, Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh, Bai Dezhong is really a good and honest official, the things that the girls in the family eat are so simple, and they are also a good example of a clean breeze with two sleeves.

However, when her eyes squinted a little more, she saw a large number of exquisite dishes on the stove behind her, such as eight-treasure porridge, steamed mandarin fish, and five-color steamed buns.

Raising her eyebrows, she asked, "Whose breakfast is this?" ”

The cook was stunned for a moment, moved her body to block it, and said with a smile: "Who else can it be, naturally only the master in the house can use these." ”

Really? Huaiyu nodded, and didn't plan to entangle more, but as soon as she turned around, she collided with the maid who came from behind, and the two bowls of still hot gruel instantly filled her arms.
