She thought that she would see the shyness of bowing her head on Xia Jin's face, just like other girls. However, Xia Jin's brows frowned slightly, and her inky eyes looked straight at her, which made the old lady Xuanping Hou stunned.

"I'm sorry, old lady." Xia Jin's clear black and white eyes were calm, "I can't make a decision yet." Maybe ......" she paused, and she pronounced words clearly, "I can't make a decision until Luo Gongzi comes back safely." ”

She raised her head and looked away, with a helpless look on her face: "I don't know if Mrs. Luo has mentioned it to you, Gongzi Luo went to the border because he wanted to marry me and didn't agree with the Zheng family's family affairs." He was born and died at the border, but I ......"

She lowered her head: "If I were engaged to someone else at this time, I would have a troubled conscience." ”

A big smile slowly bloomed on the face of the old lady Xuan Pinghou. She stroked Xia Jin's hair, and the love in her eyes was even greater than just now: "I finally didn't misunderstand you." ”

She sighed: "Brother Xian'er is my nephew and poor child, so I help him speak." But Brother Qian, a scholar, can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely, as a general's woman, I like him and admire him in my heart. Both are good children, and whichever grandmother you choose will bless you. It's just that now, indeed, is not the time to talk about this. ”

"I understand, thank you, old lady." Xia Jin said gratefully.

She finally knew why Mrs. Xuan Pinghou wanted to meddle in this matter. She wasn't really curious about who she wanted to marry, but because Mrs. Luo put this matter on the agenda, and she would propose tomorrow, Mrs. Xuanping was worried that she would be caught in passivity, so she reminded her and reminded her to be mentally prepared.

Choose Su Muxian. will make those in the know think she is cold. After all, Luo Qian went to the border for her. Over there, she went from death to life, fought bloodily, and here she went to hook up with other men, like what words? Choosing Luo Qian is also extremely inappropriate in the eyes of the elders. Because no one knows what Luo Qian will do at the border. If she dies, she becomes a widow; If he was crippled, she would have to serve him for the rest of her life. Either way. Her life was full of cups (tragedy).

When answering the old lady Xuanping. She didn't think much of it. If she really likes Luo Qian, he won't marry, even if he is disabled. She was also willing to marry him for the rest of her life; If he dies, she will also keep filial piety for him for three years. So the point that Mrs. Xuan Pinghou was worried about, she never considered.

But her liking for Luo Qian didn't come to that point. Fearing emotional damage, she always kept herself in a hard shell. felt Luo Qian's deep affection for her. She had tentatively stretched out her tentacles, wanting to try love. But then Mrs. Luo objected. There was little hope of the two getting married, so she immediately retracted her tentacles, withdrew her feelings, and she was always very rational in the following relationship.

So when they broke up later. She didn't feel the pain.

She was decisive in other things, but emotionally, she was never a brave person. The marriage of her parents in her previous life left her too deep shadow. Reborn into an ancient world that was more harsh on women. She had to be more careful.

As for Su Muxian, he never thought that he wanted to marry her just because he was responsible or to repay his kindness. to feel that he really likes her, which has gone through a process. After making sure that he liked her, she seriously considered whether she could marry him. At this time, Mrs. Luo brought the news that Luo Qian went to the border for her......

She sighed secretly, retracted her thoughts, stood up and saluted the old lady Xuanping: "If the old lady is fine, I will go back." ”

"Go ahead." Old lady Xuanping also stood up, "Don't worry, if you have anything to help, just say it." I've always treated you like my own granddaughter. ”

"Thank you, old lady."

When Xia Jin's figure disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, a person came out of the inner room, but it was Cen Ziman, who had been hiding in the inner room in advance.

"How? Now rest assured. Old lady Xuanping said to her.

"Rest assured?" Cen Ziman looked at his grandmother with wide eyes, "Why don't you worry?" She didn't choose a cousin. ”

Mrs. Xuanping shook her head: "The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused." Thinking about it, even Xia Jin didn't understand her own heart. I know all about her in Linjiang, and I've heard your cousin mention some of it; I've also watched her during this time. knew that there would be a lot of trouble in treating the emperor, and once it was not cured, there would be murder, but she still took action to treat the emperor, and she did not ask for it after being cured, which shows that she is a chivalrous and indifferent person to fame and fortune. Such a person, if she really wanted to marry Luo Qian, the danger on the battlefield was not in her consideration at all. She is a smart person, she must know that it is better to agree to the Luo family's family affairs at this time than to wait for Luo Qian to come back after she becomes famous, at least Mrs. Luo's attitude towards her will be much better. But she didn't! It can be seen that she doesn't want to marry Luo Qian. ”

"So, she likes her cousin?" Cen Ziman said happily.

Old lady Xuanping shook her head: "Not necessarily. This child is too rational about feelings, and she is not the kind of person who is tempted when she sees that others are on good terms and is willing to marry her. If your cousin wants to get a beautiful woman, he has to keep trying. ”

"Anyway, it's good news for my cousin." Cen Ziman said that he was about to run out, "I'll write to my cousin to tell you." ”

"Sister Man." Old lady Xuan Pinghou grabbed her, "Don't meddle in this matter." ”

"Why?" Cen Ziman was unhappy, "I think it's better for her to marry her cousin than to marry Luo Gongzi." Mrs. Naro used to think that she was of low rank and unworthy of her son. Now I have to ask her to be good to her. Later, they became relatives, and they didn't know how to rub her. ”

"You have been with Xia Jin for so long, you should know that she is a very clear and thoughtful person. Who to marry and who not to marry, you should let her figure it out for herself. Otherwise, the husband and wife will not get along in the future, and she may complain about you in her heart. After all, you will be her sister-in-law in the future, and you will be a real relative who you can't avoid for the rest of your life. It's not like a friend, I don't like it, I can have less contact or no contact. ”

Cen Ziman pouted and did not speak.

"Listen to your grandmother! Grandmother can still hurt you? Old lady Xuan Pinghou patted her hand.

Xia Jin left the main courtyard where Mrs. Xuanping Hou lived, and was going to the study to call Xia Qi, so that they could go to the Xia Mansion to have a look, and they heard the report from the Cen Mansion: "Miss Xia, Master Xia and Mrs. Xia have arrived." Just entered the gate. ”

"Huh? So early? Xia Jin was pleasantly surprised.

Although it is not very far from Forty Lipu to the capital, it takes at most an hour to take a carriage, but after entering the city, she has to walk for another half an hour to reach Xuanping Houfu.

But I didn't want it to come.

She hurriedly turned around: "I'm going to meet them." ”

The outer courtyard where Xia Qi lived was close to the gate, and when she walked outside, Xia Qi had already walked in with Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi and arrived at the second gate.

Xiao Shi heard the report and greeted him.

Xia Jin had to hold Shu's arm and listen to their cold noise.

"The yard is already ready for you. The yard was large enough with two small courtyards next to it. If Brother Qi and Sister Jin want to move in with their parents, they will also make it. Xiao said.

"This ......," Shu Shi turned his head to look at Xia Jin.

"No need, aunt." Xia Jin smiled, "Our house is all cleaned up." It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and after my father and my mother have greeted the grandfather and the old lady, we will move over there together. ”

Xiao and Mrs. Xuanping got along with Mrs. Xuanping's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she also knew about Mrs. Luo's request for Mrs. Xuanping to protect the media in the morning. If the Xia family does not want to allow marriage, the Xia family and Mrs. Luo live in the same house, which will be inconvenient. Besides, she still wants to finalize the marriage of Xia Qi and Cen Ziman before her husband sets out. The Xia family and his wife live in the Cen Mansion, so it is inconvenient to discuss relatives, and it is easy for people to misunderstand that Xia Qi wants to join the Cen family.

"I won't be polite to you when the day comes." She said cheerfully.

Xuanping Hou Cen Yi and his son Cen Changan are both in the barracks, and there are only female dependents in the family. But the two families are about to become in-laws, so there is no need to avoid so much at this time, the Xiao family directly brought the Xia family and his wife to the main hall.

The old lady Xuanping had already received a report from her subordinates and was waiting there.

The two sides saw each other for a while, and the Xia family and his wife sent Linjiang Tuyi, and then they went to the courtyard prepared by the Xiao family for them to freshen up and rest, and prepared to go to the summer house after lunch.

"Father, mother, I want to tell you something." When Xia Jin waited for his parents to freshen up, he told them about the Cen family's desire to give Cen Ziman to Xia Qi, and said, "Tomorrow the Lord and the son will go on an expedition." The old lady wanted to give her brother and Aman's marriage before they set out on the expedition, so that they would not be worried. What do you think? ”

Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi were surprised and delighted when they heard this, and at the same time felt incredible.

Shu Shi asked suspiciously, "What is this...... Can it really work? Our family's family is not worthy of Miss Cen, right? ”

This is the concubine of the Houfu, what a noble status! Would such a person marry Xia Qi? It's not that their son is bad, but that the Luo family was just a six-grade petty official, so they felt that Xia Jin was only worthy of Luo Qian as a concubine, and Bai Tong sentenced a concubine to Xia Qi, so they felt that it was a great gift. This huge contrast really made her unbelievable!

Xia Jin turned his head to look at Xia Qi, and when he saw him nodding, he told him about the things on the hunting ground and the Peng family's retreat. It is related to Xia Qi's lifelong events, and these things cannot be hidden from Xia Zhengqian and Shu's family.

Of course, she didn't say anything about the Peng family's suspected rebellion.

After listening to the whole story, Shu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xia Qi: "Although Miss Cen has been engaged for a round of marriage, this is how she married you." But you are not allowed to look down on her. The eldest lady of the Golden Mansion, even if she withdraws from her relatives and her reputation is damaged, but after this rumor, with the power of the Cen Mansion, it will not be a problem to choose a good family affair for her. She can agree to marry you, and the whole Cen Mansion also agrees to this family business, it is by no means forced by circumstances, but because they value you. You have to treat her well. If I let me know that you are a little contemptuous, I will not spare you. ”

Xia Qi only said yes.

Under the corridor, a mother-in-law who was standing quietly gently descended the steps and went to the courtyard of the old lady Xuanping. (To be continued)
