Xuan Pinghou returned to Cen Mansion and told his old wife about the resignation, so that she and her daughter-in-law could go to appease their granddaughter. Unbeknownst to her, when the old lady Xuanping and the Xiao family carefully told Cen Ziman the news of their retirement, she behaved very calmly.

Cen Ziman didn't know that there was still a court involvement here, but he thought that the Peng family heard the rumors outside and sent someone to inquire about the news, and then his grandfather took the initiative to withdraw from his family in order to protect the face of Cen Mansion.

"You don't have to worry." She raised her little face and smiled at her grandmother and mother, "This is fate, I understand." ”

Because of Peng Yuzhang's excellence, the ladies in the capital ridiculed her behind her back, saying that with her vulgarity as Miss Jiangmen, this family business was blind to Peng Yuzhang; Every time Peng Yuzhang saw her, his expression was also light, and he had never had the expectation, nervousness, and joy that her fiancé had when he met his fiancée - when the eldest brother married the sister-in-law, she had seen the kind of performance of the eldest brother. She shed tears for this.

She had imagined 10,000 times that she would get along with Peng Yuzhang after she got married, but every time she was very depressed. Because she couldn't imagine what it would be like. She thought that if she stayed with Peng Yuzhang, she might not even be able to speak.

Now that she has withdrawn from her marriage, although she is sad in her heart, the god-like man has no chance with her. But she was faintly relieved.

Seeing her granddaughter's expression, many of the comforting words that Mrs. Xuanping had prepared were blocked in her heart and couldn't say it.

"Grandmother will arrange a good family affair for you." She had no choice but to say.

Because this matter also involved Xia Qi, guessing the intention of the old lady Xuanping and the Xiao family, Xia Jin deliberately avoided it. After they left, Xia Jin learned the news from Cen Ziman's mouth.

"Are you sad?" She asked.

Cen Ziman shook his head, raised his head and smiled at Xia Jin. The smile was inexplicable: "I thought I was going to be sad." But it's strange that not only is it not sad, but there is a sense of relaxation. It seems that I don't like him as much as I thought. ”

Xia Jin patted Cen Ziman's shoulder comfortingly.

Neither spoke again.

What Cen Ziman was thinking, Xia Jin didn't know. And she herself thought of Su Muxian.

Cen Ziman is sixteen years old, and her reputation has been damaged because of her retirement, if she doesn't hurry up at this time, she will take advantage of Xuanping to make new contributions to the expedition and set up a family affair for her. Wait until she's older. Family affairs are difficult to do.

And. No one can say what happened in the war. If Xuan Pinghou or the prince Cen Chang'an has three longs and two shorts, or is defeated. The power of the Cen family will inevitably be greatly reduced, and even worse, it will become the target of verbal criticism. At that time, who would want to marry the discredited girl of the Cen family?

So. It is imperative to set a family affair for Cen Ziman before setting out on the expedition.

Although it is said that he raised his head to marry a daughter, and lowered his head to marry a wife. But the Xia family is too far from the Cen Mansion in terms of door, and Xia Qi doesn't even have a fame. Even if he has a skin-to-skin relationship with Cen Ziman, the first choice of the Cen family is not him. It should be Su Muxian, right?

Thinking of this, she lost her mind slightly.

People always realize the value of things when they lose. After last night's subtle psychological change, I am glad to see Su Muxian and Cen Ziman marry. She's too self-defeating.

So, what does she need to do? Use some means. Push Cen Ziman to Xia Qi, and keep Su Muxian to himself?

As soon as the thought came to her, she shook her head and chased it out.

Not to mention that doing so is contrary to her bottom line as a person, just emotionally, she can't accept it.

She is a very arrogant person at heart. If Cen Ziman chooses Su Muxian instead of Xia Qi, and Su Muxian is also willing to marry Cen Ziman, then they don't want these two people. Where in the world there is no fragrant grass, why love a flower? People who didn't take their brothers and sisters seriously, they naturally didn't take it to heart, let alone rob it.

I have to say that although she regards Cen Ziman as her younger sister, she is still far behind Xia Qi.

Cen Ziman is simpler, but he is not stupid. It's about herself, what Xia Jin can think of, she can naturally think of. Lying on the bed for a while, she suddenly sat up and said to Xia Jin, "I'll go find my grandfather." As he spoke, he shouted at the maid, "Comb my hair and bring me another coat." ”

And over there, after Xuan Pinghou told his wife about the resignation, he counted the days and didn't dare to delay, so he immediately sent someone to call Su Muxian over, and said straight to the point: "Your cousin has quit the Peng family today." I'm about to go on an expedition, and I don't feel comfortable leaving like this. I want to book a family affair for her before I go on the expedition. He paused and looked at Su Muxian, "Are you willing to marry her?" ”

Su Muxian was taken aback, although he knew that Xuan Pinghou would definitely give Cen Ziman a resignation, but he didn't expect him to hit himself with his idea.

He searched in his mind for a while, trying to find something suitable, and refused Xuan Pinghou as tactfully as possible. I thought about it for a while, but I didn't think it was appropriate to say anything.

He simply didn't hide it, and said directly: "I'm sorry, aunt and grandfather, I have a heart and can't marry my cousin." ”

Xuan Pinghou was stunned for a while before asking, "Is this true?" ”

Su Muxian smiled bitterly: "My nephew won't joke about his life's events. If this were not the case, with the kindness that you and your aunt and grandmother have shown me, I will never say a word if you say this. But I pretend to be another woman in my heart, and if I marry my cousin, I am irresponsible to my cousin, I am sorry for her, and I am sorry for you. ”

Xuan Pinghou looked at Su Muxian and didn't speak for a long time.

In his heart, his granddaughter is the best girl in the world, even if she withdraws from her marriage and is worthy of Su Muxian, she is completely worthy of it. He didn't think that Su Muxian would refuse.

Where does the heart belong? Who does he like?

He was going to go on the expedition in two days, and there were still many things to deal with in the army, and he didn't have the energy to take care of Su Muxian's lifelong affairs. He waved his hand tiredly and said to Su Muxian: "Okay, I understand, you go back first." ”

Su Mu sat there without moving, and asked, "Have you ever thought about marrying your cousin to Xia Qi?" ”

"Xia Qi?" Xuan Pinghou's brows furrowed.

He shook his head: "It's not that I didn't think about him. Your cousin has a skin-to-skin relationship with him, and it stands to reason that it is perfect to marry her to Xia Qi. But Xia Qi ......" he sighed, "I don't think his family is poor, nor do I think he is from a low background, I myself am a mud leg who climbed up, Xia Qi is much stronger than me at the beginning." It's just that he doesn't even have a reputation now, and I also heard that all the property his family bought in Linjiang was earned back by Miss Xia; The houses and fields in the capital are also rewards for Miss Xia. This brother and sister are too far apart. ”

"......" Su Mu was speechless.

Because he wanted to treat the emperor at the beginning, he was afraid of being accused of bullying the king, so Xia Jin did not dress as a man anymore. Moreover, Xuan Pinghou can recommend Xia Jin to the emperor for treatment, so he naturally has to investigate her situation in Linjiang, and her previous affairs, except for those secret acts carried out at night, there is nothing Xuan Pinghou does not know.

With Xia Jin's outstanding sister as a comparison, Xia Qi, even if he is a fifteen-year-old county head, he is also compared to a scumbag, and he can't look into Xuan Pinghou's eyes.

"A mother's compatriot, with such a capable sister as Miss Xia, where can Xia Qi go? Even if it is worse than Miss Xia, it is not less than that compared to other gentlemen in the capital. Xia Qi was at a young age, and in that place where the literary style was prosperous, he could win the case at the age of fifteen. Besides, his martial arts are not bad. Able to be literate and martial, sincere and diligent. In my opinion, it is much better than Peng Yuzhang, who is a fake model. ”

Su Muxian likes Xia Jin, so naturally he highly recommends Xia Qi, and what he said is indeed the truth.

Seeing Xuan Pinghou nodding, he said again: "The second cousin has been with Xia Qi all this time, and I want to know him quite well. Aunt, grandfather, you might as well call your second cousin and ask him to see what his opinion is. ”

"I'll really have to ask him." Xuan Pinghou didn't think Xia Qi was very bad, but it turned out that Su Mu was idle to compare, so he naturally didn't look down on Xia Qi.

Su Muxian is handsome, strong in martial arts, a five-grade imperial guard with a sword, and a knighthood, there are no elders in the family, he is in charge as soon as he enters the door, he doesn't have to serve his in-laws, no matter which aspect he takes, he is stronger than Xia Qi. Such a grandson-in-law has a lot of face when he says it.

The most important thing is that with a fiancé like Peng Yuzhang in front, if he finds someone who is too far behind in all aspects, he is worried that his granddaughter will not be able to accept it. If Cen Ziman is reluctant and lives a bad life, wouldn't his Cen family be sorry for the Xia family? Xia Jin and Xia Qi have saved the lives of their Cen family several times. The Cen family did not repay the favor, but married a granddaughter to make enemies, and they didn't take such a life.

Now that Su Muxian categorically rejected the family matter, he naturally seriously considered Xia Qilai.

"I'll ask Brother Zhou, and then ask Sister Man. If Sister Man was reluctant, I didn't mention it. Don't tell the Xia family brothers and sisters. Xuan Ping waited.

Su Muxian was about to finish speaking, when a person suddenly broke in outside the door, and said in a crisp voice: "Grandfather, I am willing to marry Xia Qi." ”

The two turned their heads and saw Cen Ziman standing at the door, dressed in a red dress, with a bright face full of determination.

"Sister Man, ...... you" Xuan Pinghou didn't know how long his granddaughter had been here, and how much he had listened, he turned his head and glanced at Su Muxian in a hurry, he didn't have the heroism he had in the army and on the battlefield.

Su Muxian couldn't help but laugh. This is my aunt and grandfather, a hero, but perhaps because he was an orphan since he was a child, he attaches great importance to his family. not only respects his old wife, but also holds his granddaughter in the palm of his hand, the baby is not good, and he is never willing to give her a little bit of grievance. Now that Cen Ziman was forced to withdraw from his family because of the court dispute, he was naturally more cautious about his granddaughter, for fear that she would be hurt again.

"You don't have to compromise yourself." Xuan Pinghou cleared his throat, "Grandfather must order you a good family affair." (To be continued)
