Chapter 49, Marriage

"The key to stave is to practice more and memorize more." When Huo Jiyun came to the welfare home, he saw Xuan Jixi in class. In front of the piano, Xuan Zhen was dressed in a dress, her long hair reached her waist, her white and slender fingers played lightly on the keyboard, and four or five children were watching her seriously.

"Xiaoling, you can show everyone it." Xuan Ji let a little girl sit beside her. Xiaoling is a ten-year-old girl who does not have any disability and is the healthiest and normal child in the cherished home. She is naturally intelligent and especially talented for music. Xuan Jixi was very optimistic about her and passed on his music theory knowledge to her. In more than a year, Xiaoling has been able to master the general five-line score.

"Sister Ruo, Huo Shao is here." Xiao Ding came to Xuan Zhenxi's side and quietly reminded her. Following Xiao Ding's words, Xuan Zhen looked at the door, and sure enough, he saw Huo Jiyun's tall and majestic figure. They looked at each other and smiled, and Xuan Zhen came to the door.

"You're here."

"Grandpa said, go to the villa for dinner in the evening."

"Okay." Their relationship has become markedly different. Natural and intimate, in the eyes of others, it is a boyfriend and girlfriend in love.

"You play the piano very well." Huo Jiyun had obviously been watching for a while.

"It's not just the piano, Sister Ruoxi is proficient in all eighteen musical instruments." Xiao Ding couldn't help but add fuel and vinegar to say.

"Oh, yes, then I'd love to hear about it." The dark eyes looked deeply at the girl in front of her, but her twenties were different from ordinary people. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has a unique skill, and her mysterious eyes are like treasures, which make people want to explore and excavate.

"I have the opportunity to play the guqin for you." This time, Xuan Zhen regretted that he was not modest, but generous and calmly smiled.

"I'm looking forward to it."

In the evening, Xuan Jixi followed Huo Jiyun to the villa.

"It's a pity, but I hope you're coming."

"Grandpa Huo!"

"Let me think, how long has it been since you've been here?" Old Man Huo squinted his eyes and made a thinking motion.

Xuan Zhen smiled and approached him.

"Grandpa Huo, don't pursue it. As a sign of my apologies, how about I play you a song today? ”

"Strumming? All right. The old man danced with a smile, and Xuan Zhen couldn't help but smile when he saw the old man's lovely expression.

"Let's eat first. I've asked Mother Wu to get ready, and I specially made up for your body. "After a dinner, the guests and hosts were happy. After a short rest, Xuan Jixi took out the guqin he brought, squatted in front of the coffee table dignifiedly, and the servants of the Huo family also came to listen.

The rhythm of the guqin has a profound meaning, and the technique of "chanting, kneading, squeezing, and noteing" in the performance is full of the subtle beauty of "clear, subtle, light and far" of guqin art. At the beginning of the music, the elegant overtones make people enter a kind of rippling blue waves and smoky artistic conception.

A song of mountains and rivers was played vividly and vividly, and everyone who listened to it was deeply immersed in it and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Okay, great. It's a pity, you're a treasure. The old man was the first to come back to his senses, applauding and applauding, Huo Jiyun's eyes were deeply shocked, he didn't expect that Ruoxi's piano sound was so pure and affectionate, this was not at all like the level that a person who had only practiced for a few years should have.

"Miss Ruo's skills are comparable to the master level!" The housekeeper praised repeatedly, and the others kept applauding, Xuan Ji was a little embarrassed, she stood up, bowed respectfully and thanked her. The dignified and elegant posture is more beautiful than everyone's ladies. No, it's like a noble princess.

"It's a pity that it's a real princess! Real celebrities. My Huo family is blessed. The old man looked at his grandson with a stunned face meaningfully, and his eyes couldn't hide his admiration.

"Lao Fu, go and get the things out." The old man's eyes gestured to the housekeeper.

"Yes, old man." Huo Jiyun was still shocked by Xuan Zhen's skills, and the old man had already prepared a special gift for his grandson.

"I'm sorry, as a token of gratitude, I also have a gift for you."

"Grandpa Huo, you are too polite." Xuan Ji smiled subtly, looked at Huo Jiyun who had been staring at her, and looked at each other, she immediately opened her eyes. His eyes were so hot that she felt her heart beat.

A box made of mahogany was placed in front of Xuan Jixi's eyes, Master Huo gave Huo Jiyun a look, Huo Jiyun finally came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and looked at his grandfather, the grandfather and grandson secretly surged, Huo Jiyun went over to open the mahogany box. Inside is a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets. Classical and exquisite, you can tell how old it is at a glance.

"It's a pity, this pair of bracelets was left by Grandma Ji Yun. It is also a family heirloom of my ancestors. Today, I want to give it to you as a wedding gift for you and Ji Yun. Xuan Jixi was surprised and overwhelmed, he didn't expect Grandpa Huo to be so direct, Huo Jiyun was not surprised, his grandfather's style was so direct and decisive.

"Grandpa Huo, this is too precious." Xuan Ji regretted not knowing how to answer.

"Unfortunately, you know, I've always had my eye on you. You've been with Ji Yun for a lot of time, what do you think of his personality? Old Man Huo began to slowly induce, and Huo Jiyun did not speak on the side.

"I-" Xuan Zhen looked at Huo Jiyun and then looked down at his fingers.

"If it's a pity, you don't have to be embarrassed, I won't be reluctant to do this-" The old man's expression suddenly darkened, and the corners of Huo Jiyun's mouth twitched almost invisibly.

"Ji Yun's parents left early, and I, an old man, were busy and didn't have much time to spend with my only grandson. He has been sensible since he was a child, and he is calm even if his parents leave, but I know that he is strong on the surface, but he is extremely insecure on the inside. As the elder of the Huo family, I really can't bear to let him go alone, seeing that he is almost thirty years old and has no partner, I am also anxious.

At the beginning, when Dean Xuan was still alive, I also mentioned it to her, she was very in favor of it at that time, and also told me some of your past life experience, I think you and Ji Yun are God's arrangement, a natural pair. Of course, this is also my wish as an old man, you don't have a psychological burden, if you really don't want to, I can't force you to not. "What Old Man Huo said is reasonable, but Xuan Zhen is undecided, and he really can't bear to refuse a gray-haired old man.

Speaking of the dean, she still remembered what the dean said when he left: "If it's a pity, Huo Shao is a worthy object, I hope you can think about it carefully, and with a strong backing to rely on, you will go more easily." Seeing that she seemed to feel something, Old Man Huo made persistent efforts.

"It's a pity, Grandpa Huo is old, and the time in the world is numbered, I really don't worry about my family Ji Yun, and when I leave, he is still alone, living a lonely life. I work day and night, and there are only servants in the huge villa, when I think of this, my heart! and it was full of pain. The more Old Man Huo spoke, the more excited he became, and even the housekeeper and maid on the side couldn't help but cry. Huo Jiyun stood expressionlessly, his lowered eyes and never looked at anyone.

Xuan Ji felt that he couldn't hold on, biting his lip, clenching the corner of the guqin, the old man's expression was sad, and Huo Jiyun's face was full of loneliness. I've never seen him like this, the strings in my heart are turbulent, and there is an answer that is about to come out of my throat.

Does she like Huo Jiyun? Ask yourself, yes. Would she marry him? For a while, it seemed that he couldn't refuse. What should she do? Just when she was hesitating, Old Man Huo made the last killer move.

"When Grandma Ji Yun left, I promised her that I must find a virtuous, gentle, generous, kind and innocent girl for Ji Yun to be his wife. When I saw you for the first time, I was shocked by the charm between your eyebrows and eyes, which was similar to that of his grandmother, and at the same time I was very happy that I finally got the hope of seeing the Huo family. Even if I die now, when I see Ji Yun's grandmother and parents, I can explain to them. If so, can you bear to refuse the request of a gray-haired old man? ”

Xuan Zhen opened his mouth, "Grandpa Huo, I-"

"Grandpa, don't be reluctant." Huo Jiyun finally spoke. He raised his eyes to look at Xuan Jixi, who was at a loss, and the depth of his eyes made Xuanji, who was also looking at him, frightened. It was a kind of sorrow that couldn't be dissolved, like a teenager who had lost his loved ones, struggling to die, such a look reminded her of Xiao Ling, the boy who lost his parents since childhood, strong on the outside, and lonely on the inside.

"I—will." Unconsciously, the words blurted out are actually like this! Xuan Zhen regretted that he was shocked. Huo Jiyun's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and Old Man Huo even took advantage of the victory to ask the housekeeper to deliver the gift to Xuan Jixi.

"It's a pity, I knew you were a good boy. Then it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and your marriage will be decided today. Later, I will let Ji Yun be fully responsible, you don't have to worry about it, oh, no, you can express your opinion, and it's up to you what you want to buy and what you don't want to buy. Ji Yun, hurry up and help Ji Xi put on the bracelet, I want to take a photo of you as a souvenir. The old man was so happy that he flew up, striking while the iron was hot and not letting Xuan Zhen regret his respite.

Xuan Zhenxi never thought that he just wanted to show his skills on a whim, but unexpectedly, he was married to him. Why did she say yes? Is it because the old man's plea is too difficult to refuse, or because Huo Jiyun's eyes are too distressing, until he returns to the welfare home, he is still in a trance.

"Thank you for agreeing to Grandpa's request, I'm sorry I scared you." Huo Jiyun can be described as full of pride. But he was careful to restrain his joy.

"I-" Xuan Zhen wanted to say but didn't know where to start, so he had to look at the bracelet on his wrist in a daze.

"The bracelet is heavier, so if you don't find it convenient, you can put it away. I've made the exact same pattern, much lighter than in ancient times. ”

"You don't have to break the bank." A subconscious sentence, but his lips were directly gagged.

Huo Jiyun's dragonfly kiss made Xuan Ji melt instantly.

"Don't reject me, you know? How excited I was when you said yes just now. I know that maybe you can't bear to refuse grandpa, but I'm sincere to you. I promise, I, Huo Jiyun, are the only woman in my life. "A couple for a lifetime? Xuan Zhen's tears of regret flowed down uncontrollably. It's something she's always longed for, to be loved, to be treated with all her heart. Perhaps, she can believe in the man in front of her and believe in this love.

"I'm willing to marry you. But you have to make sure it counts. She said with a little squirming but firm.

"Okay." The faint fragrance of windmill jasmine surrounds the lovers who embrace each other, and the night is quiet, which is the most romantic time.
