Chapter 22: False Betrothal

Jia Zhifu also became an official after ten years of cold window, so when he chatted with scholar Nie Wuzheng, he talked about scriptures and history quite speculatively. Mrs. Jia was depressed all day long.

Shangguan Lei's place never seemed to lock the door, and when Jia Qianqian went to look for him, the courtyard gate was lightly covered and empty.

Pacing around the house bored, waiting for him to come back. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Jia Qianqian wanted to deliberately scare him, so he quietly hid behind the curtain.

Two middle-aged men dressed as martial arts people walked in. When the two saw that there was no one in the house, one of them said, "It seems that the young farmer has not come back from going out to run errands, should we wait for him here?" ”

Another person said: "Anyway, it's not a hurry, in fact, the old owner is too worried, Miss Biao's deep affection for the young owner is obvious to all, and the young owner is such a kind and gentle person, where would he be willing to hurt Miss Cousin to go to courtship with the daughter of the prefect, this must be his strategy, let's go shopping on the street and then come to see the young owner." ”

After the two left, Jia Qianqian walked out from behind the curtain without any expression on his face.

With his head down, he slowly walked towards the gate of the courtyard, and when he was about to go out, Shangguan Lei came back.

"Qianqian, you're here!" It's still a bright and sincere smile.

Jia Qianqian raised her head and looked at him steadily.

"What's wrong with you?" Shangguan Lei looked at her with some doubts.

Jia Qianqian pulled out a slightly shy smile, "I have something to ask you to help with." ”

The two sat down in the house, Jia Qianqian lowered her head and said slowly: "I want you to accompany me to play a play, and if you go to ask for a kiss again, my parents will definitely agree." Then, I pretend to go to the Swordless Villa with you, and they will go back to their hometown first. After they left, I took care of the matter of the jade chapter and went back to them. ”

Shangguan Lei smiled and said: "No need to act, I originally wanted to propose marriage again, as long as your parents agree, your family can go to Wujian Villa to live." ”

Jia Qianqian raised her head and looked at Shangguan Lei, her bright eyes and gentle smile were so trustworthy and reliable. Hiding the sneer that pulled out of the corner of his mouth, he replaced it with a bright smile and winked mischievously: "Have you ever seen a girl with such thick skin who begged someone to propose to her?" ”

Shangguan Lei also smiled: "If you are thin-skinned, you are not the only Jia Qianqian." ”

The next day, Shangguan Lei really went to the Salesian Bureau in person to propose marriage to Jia Zhifu and his wife.

The down-and-out Jia Zhifu husband and wife were embarrassed, Nie Wuzheng did not speak on the side, but his eyes were not as bookish as usual, they were so deep and bottomless. When the marriage was negotiated, when Shangguan Lei presented a piece of jade pendant as a token, his eyes closed slightly, returned to normal, and congratulated them with a smile.

Staying in Anyang City will only touch the scene and be embarrassed. After the handover with the new prefect, under the persuasion of Jia Qianqian and the guarantee of Shangguan Lei, Jia Qianfu and his wife set off to return to their hometown.

The ten-mile long pavilion, I don't know how many farewells in the red dust have been witnessed. Jia Qianqian, who has always been as bold as a man and playful as a gentleman, hugged and cried with his head and parted with his liver and intestines.

Clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he watched the carriage farther and farther away. From now on, without the favor of his parents and the aura of the daughter of the official family, what awaits is the unpredictable danger and endless wind and rain.

But if she was to be slaughtered and surrendered to the Jade Seal, she would not be Jia Qianqian. Now that her parents have left safely, there is no one to threaten her, if you want to play, my son will play with you!

Yun Xian, Nie Wuzheng, and Shangguan Lei all accompanied Jia Qianqian in the long pavilion to watch the carriage that went away. When he couldn't see the shadow anymore, Shangguan Lei said softly: "Qianqian, go back, don't be too sad." ”

Jia Qianqian wiped the tears from her face, took out the jade pendant and handed it to him, "Thank you for accompanying me for this play, and the jade pendant will be returned to you." ”

Shangguan Lei didn't pick it up, and looked at her fixedly, "Do you think I'm acting?" This jade pendant, if you give it away, you won't take it back easily! ”

Jia Qianqianqiang smiled: "You have saved me a few times and helped me a lot, I will return this favor to you if I have a chance." This jade pendant, if you don't accept it, I will put it first, but our engagement is not counted in advance, and it is all fake. ”

Nie Wuzheng and Yun Xian were stunned.

"I didn't promise to act, but said that I was going to propose. Since your parents agreed, and you also accepted the jade pendant, there is nothing fake about this marriage. From now on, you will be my fiancΓ©e. ”

Shangguan Lei was unhurried and spoke in a normal tone, but there was no doubt that everyone felt it.

You'll be my fiancΓ©e from now on! In a trance, someone said that to her. By the way, it's that damn Long Jie. Jia Qianqian didn't understand how she could think of him at this time, maybe because of hatred.

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, I'll talk about it later, the top priority now is the matter of Yuzhang. I also bothered Brother Shangguan to let out a rumor, and said that I, Jia Qianqian, would put on a big show tomorrow and auction the mysterious jade medal! ”
