The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 420 To be a "beautiful" bride-to-be

What Xu Lijuan was thinking about was what Elder Xu was worried about, and the reason why Elder Xu called Xu Lijuan into his study to discuss this matter again was because Xu Lijuan had considered helping the army and the country just right.

"It's best if you can figure it out." Elder Xu nodded and said, "Then, what are your plans going forward?"

If Xu Lijuan was just an ordinary reborn girl, then even with the help of Ding Dong, the plane trading system cat, and Xiao Q, the omnipotent brain, she would not be able to take on such a heavy burden.After all, this kind of investment, not to mention the huge amount, is also very easy to arouse the dissatisfaction of countless people in private because of her "airborne".Even though due to various reasons, on the surface one or two of them are very respectful and meticulously complete the assigned tasks, but if they don't do their best, or if something happens, they just happen to be able to drag her into the water and so on. Even if she has the ability to defy the sky, it is impossible to save the whole situation.

Such a result is not something Xu Lijuan can bear, let alone the Xu family and the Fu family.

However, don't forget that in her previous life, Xu Lijuan had been A Piao for decades. She knew exactly what kind of development and changes occurred in Huaguo and the world pattern in those years. Can successfully and satisfactorily complete the task entrusted to her, not to mention, with the help of Ding Dong and Xiao Q!
While turning these thoughts in her mind, Xu Lijuan also responded cautiously: "Grandpa, if the country and the army need it, I can help you a little at any time, but if you let me join it and take a position, there is no need .Compared to this, I still prefer this kind of free life."

When talking about this, Xu Lijuan deliberately paused, smiled mischievously, and added: "Besides, Grandpa, I plan to stock up on land abroad! If I hold a position in the army or a government agency, this idea can only become Floating clouds!"

"...Xiaojuan, are you planning to go abroad to show off your 'Goddess of Wealth' ability?"

Xu Laojian said with difficulty that although he had known for a long time that Xu Lijuan was a restless person and had let Xu Lijuan run her own business, Xu Laojian still couldn't believe that Xu Lijuan had accumulated so much in just two years. The funds are actually worth the tax revenue of the Hua Kingdom for one year!

But now, hearing Xu Lijuan's "magnificent" ambition again, Mr. Xu felt for the first time that he was really old, so he didn't notice the deep meaning hidden in Xu Lijuan's seemingly inadvertent actions.If it weren't for the investigation report submitted by Director Li this time, he really couldn't believe that Xu Lijuan would have done such an earth-shattering event under the noses of everyone.

You know, this is just the beginning!Who can be sure that in a few years, when Xu Lijuan enters the society, sees more people, and gains more life experience, what kind of changes will she experience? !

Xu Lijuan didn't know the churning thoughts in Xu Lao's heart, otherwise, she would definitely tell Xu Lao with a smile, if she couldn't complete this kind of change that could be said to be against the sky in the eyes of others, then how could she be worthy of falling into the old world in her previous life? How can such a miserable self be worthy of being forced to be A Piao, living the long and lonely years? !
"Yes, Grandpa, what do you think?" Xu Lijuan said with a smile in a flattering attitude that invited pets, afraid that Mr. Xu would say a word of rejection.

Of course, in fact, it is impossible for Mr. Xu to refuse Xu Lijuan's request, but in the face of this old man who loves her most in the past and present, Xu Lijuan is not at all willing to let Mr. Xu say anything against her will.

Therefore, Xu Lijuan added again: "Grandpa, think about it, when foreign countries are still working hard to develop technology and have not paid attention to the importance of money, let alone the importance of land, I will stock up more. Whether it is building houses or running farms and pastures...it is very profitable. After all, since ancient times, no one can escape from basic necessities of life..."

Following Xu Lijuan's narration, Xu Lao couldn't help but see scenes of beautiful pictures in front of him, so Xu Lao, who was persuaded by Xu Lijuan, said affirmatively: "The idea is good, let's do it with your heart, if you need grandpa's help, just say it. "

"Okay." Xu Lijuan responded with a smile, and chatted with Mr. Xu for a few more words. After returning to the room, she found out the schedule she had made a long time ago, and solemnly added a few rows on it...

In the next period of time, under Du Mengqi's strong request, Xu Lijuan strictly followed the plan of "how to be the most beautiful bride" drawn up by Xiao Q while Yu Jiayi watched intentionally or unintentionally, and executed it meticulously.Xu Lijuan's serious and serious appearance only made Yu Jiayi, who came to watch on purpose, speechless for a moment. Rows of black bold words "Fuck, I didn't expect Xiaojuan to hate marriage so much" floated in his mind Come.

However, soon, Yu Jiayi didn't have time to talk about it, because after Xu Lijuan tried on a light pink dress, she said with a smile: "Xiaoyi, speaking of it, what are you and your brother-in-law preparing for?" It's time to get married? Let me tell you first, I've packed all the wedding dresses for you and your brother-in-law!"

Since receiving Xu Lijuan's engagement invitation, Yu Jiayi, who has to face Lin Yuwen's sad and wronged eyes every day, and the intentional or unintentional forced marriage words of her family and Lin's elders, is depressed and stares weakly. Glancing at Xu Lijuan, she waved her hand and said, "Please don't bring up this topic."

"What's the matter?" Xu Lijuan, who was going to close the door and change the dress she was wearing, immediately went to sit next to Yu Jiayi, and asked with concern: "Did brother-in-law do something that shouldn't be done?" Did you get angry because of this matter? Or, later on, I will call Brother Fu and ask him to clean up my brother-in-law when he comes back in a few days, and see how he will torment you in the future!"

"Hmph!" Xu Lijuan snorted coldly when she said this, "He is a typical person who is 'unaware of blessings in the blessing', and he doesn't know how many pillars of high incense and worshiping Buddha in his previous life, so that he can become Finding a perfect fiancée like you, who doesn't know how to take care of her at the top of her heart, not to mention loving her, and even show you face from time to time, such a person should deal with it severely, and let him understand 'Why are flowers so red? '!"

Yu Jiayi sighed. If it was before, she would definitely tease Xu Lijuan and Lin Yuwen as "enemies". That's why they dislike each other, thinking that each other is a waste of food in this world. However, today...

"Xiaojuan, Ah Wen proposed to me."

"Huh?" Xu Lijuan, who barely danced to show her resentment, was stunned when she mentioned the happy place, and it took a long time for her to react, then she exclaimed, and threw herself on Yu Jiayi fiercely After scratching Yu Jiayi's itch a few times, he said, "You bastard, you didn't make a 'squeak' on such a big event, and you even said you were a girlfriend!"

Yu Jiayi suppressed a smile and said, "Squeak!"

"Don't you think it's a little late now?" Xu Lijuan rolled her eyes, and withdrew the hands that made trouble on Yu Jiayi, "Then, did you promise him?"

Yu Jiayi nodded, then shook her head again, and when she realized that Xu Lijuan was confused by her actions, she explained: "This is the second time he proposed, and the first time was our wedding engagement. The second time is this marriage."

When talking about this, Yu Jiayi frowned slightly: "He said that he hopes to hold our wedding on November this year, and then go abroad for our honeymoon."

"Eleventh...it's not too early, there are only less than eight months left, and everything must be prepared in advance, so as not to be in a hurry, after all, this is only once in a lifetime..." Xu Lijuan murmured Yes, when I found that Yu Jiayi was still silent, I finally realized that there was something wrong with Yu Jiayi, and I couldn't help but glared at Yu Jiayi, and said, "Don't tell me, you haven't considered whether you want to marry your brother-in-law yet!"

"how is this possible."

Yu Jiayi shook her head without thinking, if she really wanted to regret the marriage, she wouldn't have picked this time.However, when she thinks about forming a family with her childhood sweetheart whom she has known for so many years and having children for him, she suddenly feels confused and uneasy. From time to time, she will ask herself this way: I really have to think about it. Will you marry Lin Yuwen?Am I really capable of taking on the responsibility of a family and at the same time shouldering the responsibility of maintaining the two alliances of the Lin family and the Yu family?Am I really ready to be a housewife, to have children for Lin Yuwen, to take good care of this small family for Lin Yuwen, to give Lin Yuwen wholehearted support and encouragement, so that Lin Yuwen can work hard without any worries? ...

Although Xu Lijuan didn't know what thoughts went through Yu Jiayi's mind in a short period of time, but based on her understanding of Jiayi, she naturally felt Yu Jiayi's emotions that were about to collapse immediately, and the smile on her face There was also momentary stiffness, but in order to prevent Yu Jiayi from finding out that something was wrong and causing more pressure, she could only try her best to make herself smile brighter, and then asked in a casual tone, as if casually. Said: "Isn't it because you think you are still young and don't want to be bound by your brother-in-law so early?"

Yu Jiayi was silent, but she agreed with Xu Lijuan's words in her heart.

"Dizzy!" Xu Lijuan rubbed her forehead helplessly, and said, "Don't tell me, you don't know, you were bound to your brother-in-law as early as the day you got engaged to her brother-in-law!" Although in the previous life Lin Yuwen finally chose Yu Jiaxue and abandoned Yu Jiayi, Lin Yuwen was not pleasing to the eye, but in the final analysis, if Lin Yuwen needs to shoulder three points of responsibility for this matter, Yu Jiaxue needs to bear five points. If there is no responsibility, then the remaining one or two points of responsibility need to be borne by Jiayi himself.

After all, it was Yu Jiayi who backed down again and again in the face of Jiaxue's intentional or unintentional provocative behavior, and did not notice Yu Jiaxue's belief in Lin Yuwen's "is bound to win" that made the already figured out Yu Jiaxue, Lin Yuwen's so-called upright character, thinks that she only needs to have a "cooking raw rice" with Lin Yuwen, and she will definitely be able to win Lin Yuwen steadily, and finally successfully dismantled Yu Jia Yi and Lin Yuwen, childhood sweethearts with more than 20 years of friendship, forced Yu Jiayi to go abroad to heal his wounds.

"I know, it's just..." Yu Jiayi sighed again. If Xu Lijuan hadn't reminded her a long time ago, she would not have noticed Yu Jiaxue's love for Lin Yuwen, nor would she have remembered every time Yu Jiaxue saw Lin Yuwen in the past. After thinking about what Yu Wenshi had said and what he had done, she was shocked to find that many years ago, Yu Jiaxue had fallen in love with Lin Yuwen, and she even fell in love with Lin Yuwen intentionally or unintentionally more than once. discredit her in front of her.

Although in the eyes of others, Lin Yuwen is a very upright person, but Yu Jiayi, who has known Lin Yuwen for more than 20 years, knows that Lin Yuwen is a typical "love makes him live, hate makes him die" kind A person with a touch of extreme madness.To fall in love with such a person, there is no need to consider whether other people's behavior of applying eye drops will be successful, but to be hated by such a person, then what is waiting is an unpredictable and terrible ending.

However, it is said that "a lie can become the truth if it is told a thousand times", who can be sure whether these words have been imprinted on Lin Yuwen's heart for a long time, and it will only wait until Lin Yuwen no longer loves her as usual. Sometimes, you can't help recalling these things, and then your impression of her keeps falling? !

……

"Isn't it?!" Xu Lijuan rubbed her cheeks, she couldn't believe that Yu Jiayi was struggling with this problem!
"You are really Xiaoyi, didn't someone else come to see me with makeup on, and you weren't possessed by some inexplicable things?!"

In the past, Yu Jiayi would definitely have refuted Xu Lijuan's words not to be outdone, but today she really has more than enough energy.

Therefore, Xu Lijuan, who finally realized the seriousness of the matter, frowned: "You are a typical 'premarital phobia', well, actually, I think you can think of it this way..."

I have to say that Xu Lijuan's eloquence is indeed extraordinary. Although she just repeated the words "If you don't have the heart, I will rest" discussed with Yu Jiayi before, but on the other hand, it is really excellent. Yu Jiayi was comforted.

Of course, Xu Lijuan didn't know at this time. In fact, what really worked was this sentence: "It is said that the economic base determines the superstructure. Even if you marry your brother-in-law, you are the one who decides the family. You can smash him to death with money!"

"..." Ding Dong, who was forced to watch this scene, couldn't help groaning: Such a rough woman who doesn't have the slightest image of a lady is definitely not my cute and beautiful host!

After discovering that Yu Jiayi was in a better mood, Xu Lijuan looked at the twelve dresses lined up in front of her, and asked with distressed expression: "Xiaoyi, tell me, which four dresses should I choose?"

No woman can escape the temptation of fancy dresses and jewellery, not to mention, among the twelve dresses on display, six were custom-made by Xu Lijuan from the shopkeeper, and the other six were from the charmer Sith Kulin. The devil's deal can be said to be the sum of all the Chinese and Western elements that women can imagine, or can't imagine for the time being.

Therefore, at this moment, Yu Jiayi also suffered from difficulty in choosing.

"These clothes are very beautiful, I feel reluctant to give up any one of them..."

"Me too."

After experiencing past and present lives, plus the help of Ding Dong, the system cat of the plane trader, and Xiao Q, an intelligent brain that surpasses the current earth technology by many times, Xu Lijuan's aesthetics has already surpassed many real fashion masters. , This point can be seen from her seemingly simple attire on weekdays, but after careful observation, she feels that everything is just right, and she feels that something is not right without any accessory.

So, after thinking hard for a long time, Yu Jiayi, who still couldn't come up with a good suggestion, suddenly said, "Why don't you, Xiaojuan, just wear all the twelve dresses!"

After the words fell, Yu Jiayi's eyes lit up. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that her idea was perfect, so she clapped her hands, stood up, and asked, "Xiaojuan, what do you think?"

"Twelve dresses, that's a lot!" Xu Lijuan shook her head subconsciously, and said, "An engagement banquet only lasts a few hours, and four sets of dresses are enough. If you prepare twelve sets , I don’t know how those people will discuss it in private.”

"What's the matter!" Yu Jiayi waved her hand aggressively, and said, "Don't you often say, 'Go your own way and let others have no way to go'? I'm sure that if you really have to change into these twelve sets Dress, then, no matter how envious or jealous they are, the next time someone holds an engagement banquet, they will intentionally or unintentionally refer to the engagement banquet held by you this time, so as not to be inferior and make people look down on you! "

This is the so-called circle, the so-called face.

"Do you think there is enough time?" Xu Lijuan cast a sideways glance at Yu Jiayi, this is the most important thing, okay? !
"Well... that's indeed a problem." Yu Jiayi rubbed her chin, her eyes darted around the twelve etiquettes, and she couldn't bear to look away, "Why don't you find a bridal shop when you have time now?" , put on these dresses, take a photo with General Fu, and when the time comes, these photos will be broadcast directly at the hotel."

"That's a good idea!" Xu Lijuan flung himself under the bed, patted her forehead with a smile, and sighed, "Why didn't I think of this idea, Xiaoyi, you are the best!"

After a pause, Xu Lijuan asked again with a smile: "By the way, do you and your brother-in-law want to take a wedding photo together? At that time, when you hold your wedding, you can also ask the people in the hotel to release these photos. And, You can also customize a batch of invitation cards with photos of you and your brother-in-law, wedding candy bags..."

It has to be said that women are romantic by nature. At this moment, Yu Jiayi couldn't help but immerse herself in the wonderful scenery painted by Xu Lijuan. Finally, the sweet and happy expression unique to the bride-to-be appeared on her face. Even The almond eyes looking at Xu Lijuan also became more dewy and seductive, which only made Xu Lijuan, who inadvertently looked up at Yu Jiayi, startled.

"Xiao Yi, let me tell you..."

Time, just like this, during Xu Lijuan's private preparations; during the busy work of Du Mengqi and others; every time Mr. Xu, Mr. Fu and others were forced to have a chat with a lot of people every time they went out, and then invited each other to participate with a smile In the words of his grandson and granddaughter's engagement banquet; in Fu Jianbai's time, he once again embarked on an SS-level dangerous mission, and successfully added half a month to his vacation form; finally, on March [-]th The day has come.

This time the engagement banquet was still held at the Venice Crown Hotel.

Although the engagement banquet started at [-]:[-] p.m., after [-]:[-] p.m., there were all kinds of high-profile and low-key but unignorable cars driving into the Venice Crown Hotel. After receiving the inside information, but unable to enter the engagement banquet due to various reasons, a large number of reporters all stared round, the camera on the shoulder was never turned off, and the cameraman seemed to be on the verge of turning off the camera. Feeling like chicken blood, pressing the shutter again and again, without thinking about other things at all.

Because the people present at this engagement banquet were bigwigs from all walks of life, Fu Jianbai had to wear a military uniform, and Xu Lijuan also specially chose a big red cheongsam as the first dress for the event.

In the capital city in March, the sky is still dark, and occasionally a few snowflakes will fall. People walking in the streets and alleys are also wearing heavy but warm winter clothes. However, the Venice Hotel is as warm as spring, so Xu Lijuan chose the This exquisite cheongsam was made after a whole week because the shopkeeper's wife brought a group of very loyal embroiderers who had signed a death contract.

Because of the friendship between Xu Lijuan and Shopkeeper Yu, the six dresses provided by Shopkeeper Yu to Xu Lijuan this time, whether it is fabrics, embroidery threads, or beads worn on them, are all tributes. It is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty in the history of Huaguo, but the embroidery technology is far from what some modern self-proclaimed masters can match.

Just like this cheongsam, the collar is embroidered with cloud patterns, and the cuffs and skirt are embroidered with large peony flowers. A phoenix is ​​staring at the large peony close at hand, as if thinking about this flower. The peony is so beautiful, but the branches and leaves are very thin. If it falls on it, will it be crushed down?A phoenix simply stopped on the ground, staring up at these beautiful peonies, the joy and admiration in its eyes made it impossible to regard it as an ordinary phoenix without thinking ability .In addition, several phoenixes hovered in the air, as if they were calling the two partners who were reluctant to leave after seeing the peony flowers to return home.

Xu Lijuan's skin was already as fair as jade, and when set off by such a bright red cheongsam, not only was it not overwhelmed by the delicate but dazzling embroidery patterns on the cheongsam, but it also gave birth to a kind of The admiration of "it should be so" came.

Xu Lijuan's hands were very dexterous, and soon, she used a golden phoenix hairpin with a large rice grain to hold her long black hair into a slanted bun, and then used another hair comb with a phoenix engraved on it to tie it up. The tail of the hair was pressed down, and the earrings were replaced with a pair of white pearls inlaid with gold thread. The necklace was also inlaid with golden flowers and pearls, and a pair of dragon wind bracelets with ring tails made of gold were worn on the wrists.
