Chapter 105 I don't know what you mean

After getting up early the next day and having breakfast, Mrs. Mu came over to Yuzhu's small courtyard and talked to her, "I just found out in the morning that you went to Mrs. Shen to talk about Yulan. Apologize, and tell the truth, your second aunt talked about marriage with her, and she is willing, maybe they will get engaged in a few days."

There were blue shadows in Yuzhu's eyes, she nodded, yawned and said, "Yes, Shen, Big Brother Shen said that he is not going to pursue this matter, as long as the third sister is married and lives well, it's okay."

Mrs. Mu looked at Yuzhu suspiciously, "Jiaojiao is not feeling well?"

Yuzhu murmured, and lowered her head to play with the purple jadeite bracelet on her wrist, "Mother, don't worry, it's just that I had a nightmare and didn't rest well." This string of purple jadeite was given to her by Shen Xian when she was a child. Just out of habit, the little purple jadeite beads are moistened and shiny.

Mrs. Mu said with a smile, "I'll have some sweet soup for a while and let the maids take care of me and rest for a while." After a pause, she asked again, "By the way, Jiaojiao, what my mother told you a few days ago—you and A Have you thought about Che’s matter clearly?” No wonder she was anxious about this matter, Jiang Ansu came back these two days and talked to her about the affairs of the court, Concubine Mu Gui and the third prince’s faction have begun to secretly suppress the Jiang family, the third prince Come back soon for disaster relief, I'm afraid he will find a way to marry Jiaojiao when he comes back.

How could her pampered daughter be willing to let her enter the fire pit of the palace.

Hearing Mrs. Mu talk about this, Yuzhu was a little worried. She had really considered this issue before. Since the relationship with Shen Xian changed yesterday, her thoughts were mixed and it was completely messed up. Che only has brother and sister affection, but what about Shen Xian?
Yuzhu said, "Mother, I thought about it carefully and thought it was really wrong. Brother Xie also asked me, and I said I was thinking about it for a few days, but after thinking about it carefully, I only have brother and sister feelings for Brother Xie. I am afraid that I will not be able to change it." , this is unfair to Brother Xie, I think this marriage is inappropriate." She felt a little sorry for Xie Che, she could see that he liked her, and when she said that she was thinking about it that day, she was really moved by his proposal. But now her mind has changed.

Mrs. Mu would not force her daughter, so she frowned and said, "Okay, I will talk to your father about it, but Ache's side is always... hey." She could tell that Ache had feelings for Jiaojiao I like it so much, I knew I shouldn't have asked Ah Che's opinion, but what happened to Jiaojiao, she was a little moved by seeing her at first, but now she refuses to think about it.

"You didn't have a good rest yesterday, so go to sleep again. Mother will go over to your second aunt. We also need some ideas about your third sister's engagement."

"Mom, go slowly—"

Sending Mu's away, stewed bird's nest with licorice and white fungus, boiled for two hours, it was fragrant and sticky, after eating a cup of jade beads, she asked the maids to wait outside, and she took off her clothes to rest.

A few days later, at the beginning of October, Yulan's marriage was settled, and the Lu family never visited again. Shen Xian handed Yuzhu a letter, saying that the letters he fabricated in the hands of the Lu family had been destroyed, and that Yupei had also been destroyed. Send it to Yuzhu, Yuzhu has exchanged the jade pendant for Yulan, and Yulan is grateful again.

Raising the letter in her hand, Yu Zhu read it again. Shen Xian never mentioned anything else in the letter, nor did she mention the events of that day. She always remembered his serious look under the flickering candlelight that night.

Yuzhu slid her finger on the letter paper while resting her chin, when Licorice came in from outside and said, "Girl, Mr. Xie is here."

Hearing this, Yuzhu hurriedly got up and rolled up the letter paper on the desk and put it back into the makeup box, "Let brother Xie come in."

Xie Che was still wearing an official uniform. When he came in, his face was covered with frost, and his brows and eyes were full of coldness. Yuzhu shrank her neck, thinking that what should come will always come. It's better to cut the mess quickly and don't give him any hope, so that when he makes a marriage arrangement and gets along with each other slowly, he will fall in love with another gentle and skillful woman who washes her hands and makes soup for him.

Xie Che had just returned from the government office when he was called into the study by Jiang Ansu. Jiang Ansu frowned. Seeing this, he felt a thump in his heart. He probably expected something. Sure enough, the master told him that Yuzhu could not accept such feelings and apologized to him. , He also said that he would ask his teacher's wife to arrange another marriage for her.

Where would he accept any other marriage.

Now seeing Jiaojiao shrinking his neck and standing obediently in front of the couch, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart and became a little uneasy, what would happen to him if he couldn't marry Jiaojiao?He walked up to Yuzhu and looked down at the top of her hair, "I've heard from Master that you don't want to be engaged, Yuzhu, what happened?"

The two have been together for more than ten years. He doesn't know much about Jiaojiao. In Jiaojiao's heart, family members are the most important thing. After listening to his opinion last time, she should be very moved. It's okay for her to think about it without accident. Would agree to get engaged, why did she change her mind?

Yuzhu fiddled with the beads on her wrist, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xie, I've thought it over carefully. In the past ten years or so, I regarded you as an older brother like the fourth brother. I really can't change this idea. It's not good for you to get married. I hope you can find a woman who loves you wholeheartedly."

Xie Che's face became colder and colder, but his words were still gentle, "Okay, Jiaojiao, you should rest well, I'll go back to my room first, if you change your mind, you might as well tell me."

Yuzhu hurriedly said, "Brother Xie, go back to your room and rest."

When they left, Yuzhu sighed and sat back on the couch.

Yulan's marriage was to be the eldest son of Fenglang's family. Chengfenglang was only an official of the eighth grade, and he was a prose official. Promising, with a gentle personality and conduct, and the elders in the family are also easy to get along with. This marriage was indeed done with care.

Jiang Yan went out of his way to thank Tao Shi for this, and he has not given up on his sister after she has done so many foolish things.

After getting engaged, each room added a lot of makeup. Yuzhu specially asked Qiu Erniang to make a set of gold silk inlaid green emerald head to add makeup to Yulan. This was prepared by Erniang two years ago. Work slowly and meticulously, and it was only recently completed.The emerald emerald inlaid on the head of this set is also the top emerald green, and with emerald touches, it is definitely a rare thing in Beijing.

In fact, every girl in the Jiang family has a set, and Yuzhu's is made last.

At the beginning, Yulan came to question Yuzhu, asking if she had such a face when she got married. Although Yuzhu had prepared for it a long time ago, she didn't like her tone, so she said no, and gave Yulan a good blow.Suddenly seeing such a complete set of heads and faces, Yulan was stunned, looking at Yuzhu in disbelief, "Fourth sister, this is..."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "This is the first face that I started to prepare a few years ago. It was also to tease the third sister back then. I prepared it for every girl in the family."

Yulan's eyes gradually turned red, she lowered her head and said, "Thank you, fourth sister."

Yuzhu said, "Sister said thank you, I just look forward to the happiness that the third sister can live after she gets married." Don't toss about, hope that she will gradually restrain her temper.

Yulan's marriage is scheduled for November, and the dowry has already been prepared, so it's better to get married earlier.

In addition to Yulan's engagement in October, my aunt Jiang Fangling's second child is about to be born. In the past few days, the old lady is in a hurry at home and can't visit Huo's house. Fortunately, two days later, the old lady of the Huo family personally He delivered the good news to the door, saying that Jiang Fangling had given birth to a baby boy.

The little aunt's first child was a girl, and this boy, a son and a daughter, just made up a good name.

But the old lady was overwhelmed with joy, and the Jiang family went together on the third day of the wash. The Huo family is a two-entry house, which is quite big.When the family members of the Huo family were watching the dolls in the side hall, the whole house was also very lively. Yuzhu went to meet the little aunt secretly. The little aunt was not yet confinement, her mother-in-law and her husband did not allow her to go to the ground, and let her rest in bed.

Yuzhu went to see Jiang Fangling, she was in great spirits, her complexion was ruddy, and she was plump. The two talked for a while, but Yuzhu didn't dare to disturb her too much. After all, she had just given birth and her body was still weak. She asked her little aunt to rest. , retreated by himself.

The little aunt's room is some distance away from the side hall. Ever since Yuzhu fell into the water in the palace, she took her maid with her wherever she went. Now when she left the room, she didn't see licorice. Seeing it in doubt, she walked over from the side A little servant girl said in a low voice, "Miss, are you looking for a servant girl? This servant girl just saw the girl's servant girl passing over there." The little servant girl pointed to the position of her left hand, which is the ear room, which is usually used to store sundries of.

Yuzhu became vigilant in her heart, looked at the little maid, and asked her, "Which room are you in? Why are you running around today?"

The little servant girl said, "I'm just a sweeper here. I saw the girl looking for a maid, and I happened to see it, so I talked to the girl."

Yuzhu said, "Since that's the case, I'll just wait for him to come back here, so go and do your work."

The little maid raised her head when she heard the words, and quickly moved in front of her and tapped her twice. Yuzhu found that she couldn't move, opened her mouth, but couldn't speak, she was secretly annoyed, this woman dressed as a maid Having grabbed her arm, she took it off towards the ear room.

Yuzhu was anxious in her heart, her body was weak, she couldn't speak, there was no one around, and the woman's strength was also great, so she dragged her to the outer ear room.

When they reached the ear room, the woman pushed the door open and pushed the jade beads into the door, then stepped back and closed the door.

As soon as Yuzhu entered, she saw a tall figure standing inside, wearing a black cloak and a golden jade crown on top of her head.The figure of this person looked familiar, when he turned around, it was actually the third prince Zhao Minyi.

Yuzhu opened her mouth, and found that she could speak, she took two steps back and leaned against the door of the house, looking at him vigilantly, "Third prince, I don't know what you mean by this." Yuzhu knew that he had been away for disaster relief for more than a month, I never thought that after returning to Beijing, she would still appear here, and even tie her to this person. What on earth does this person want to do!
Zhao Minyi was wearing ordinary clothes and a cloak today, and he looked like a jade tree facing the wind. He smiled and said, "Miss Yuzhu, you should know my heart. Although I have been out for disaster relief for more than a month, my thoughts are all on the girl. , I just came back to Beijing and rushed to see you."
