auspicious time has come

Chapter 192 Uncle Shi intends to handle the marriage for me?

That night, Cheng Ping reappeared at the base of the back wall of Dingbeihou's Mansion, and when he climbed over the wall and entered, he was captured again.

"It's you again..."

"It's tied...don't need to tie it up, send it to Deputy General Wang!"

So Cheng Ping, accompanied by two guards, went to see Wang Jingyong.

On the way, the two couldn't help but said: "Brother, next time you come, it's better to make a noise - it's dark and windy this night, if the knives in your hands are faster, it's not good if you accidentally injure me!" gone."

"Yeah, let's meow three times through the wall next time, brothers listen to meow three times, and my brother just hand in the letter."

The corners of Cheng Ping's eyes twitched when he heard it—he is an old man pinching his throat and meowing like a cat, is it plausible?
After silently refusing, Uncle Ping made a decision to keep his dignity: "Let's just bark like a dog."

The two guards looked at each other and were silent for a moment—is there a big difference?

Soon, the letter was delivered to Xiao Mu via Wang Jingyong.

In the letter, Heng Yu asked him to meet in a tea house tomorrow.

After reading this point, Xiao Mu's face was gentle and happy.

And looking down, he suddenly became nervous——

Her brother is going too?

Her brother wants to see him?

It is said that an elder brother is like a father, so doesn't that mean that he is going to see him tomorrow...?
Thinking of this, Lord Xiao Hou, who has always been as stable as an old dog, couldn't help but feel uneasy.

This night, Ji Nanxian was also tossed and uneasy.

The two each had their own way of apprehension, and the next day they both showed up in the teahouse on time according to the agreed time.

Hengyu brothers and sisters came earlier, Hengyu was a little hungry waiting, and waiting for others was boring, just about to get the snacks on the tea table, when his brother slapped the back of his hand lightly, and reminded him seriously: "No."

Before Xiao Hou arrived, my younger sister started eating, and when people came and saw the dim sum being passive, wouldn't they feel that they were short of manners?
Hengyu withdrew his hand helplessly, and could only drink tea dryly.

"Lang Jun, the guests have arrived."

There was a knock on the door, and the servant reported through the door.

Ji Nanxian straightened up when he heard the words, and immediately got up to straighten his sleeves, and said in a normal voice as much as possible: "Please come in."

Seeing her elder brother's gaze glanced over, Heng Yu also consciously put down the teacup and got up.

When Xiao Mu came in with his entourage, what he saw was the scene of the two brothers and sisters of the Ji family standing up to greet each other——

He concealed the panic in his heart, and raised his hand to salute Ji Nanxian: "Master Ji."

The difference in official position is here, and Ji Nanxian immediately made his stature a little shorter: "My subordinates refer to Xiao Jieshi."

Seeing this, Xiao Mu bowed lower: "Master Ji, you don't need to be too polite."

Heng Yu subconsciously glanced at the floor under the two of them - if this continues, it seems that brother is not far from lying down and talking.

Fortunately, Ji Nanxian stopped in time: "Xiao Hou, please sit down and talk."

Xiao Mu: "Master Ji, please first."

Ji Nanxian smiled fearfully: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Master Ji is two years older than me, so I should call him Brother Ji." Xiao Mu raised his hand sincerely, "Brother Ji, please take a seat."

"This..." Ji Nanxian couldn't refuse any more, and said, "It's better to obey orders than to be respectful as a subordinate", and sat down suppressing the anxiety in his heart.

Heng Yu also sat down, quietly looking at Xiao Mu who was sitting opposite her.

The man was sitting upright, and although he was still wearing ordinary clothes, it somehow made people feel a little more delicate than usual. If you look closely, you can see that there is not a single wrinkle on the robe.

As if aware of her gaze, his back straightened even more.

Ji Nanxian: "Xiao Hou, please drink tea——"

Xiao Mu: "I heard that brother Ji is happy to have a son—"

The two who were equally cramped spoke at the same time, and stopped in embarrassment at the same time.

"..." Heng Yu was a little blindsided.

These two bumped into each other, how could one be more uncomfortable than the other?

"Cough." Ji Nanxian smiled, breaking the embarrassment: "There is such a thing."

"It's not appropriate for the Marquis to come to congratulate me, I can only prepare a little gift today, and I hope Brother Ji will not be offended." After Xiao Mu finished speaking, he secretly reflected in his heart—why did he call himself Marquis?
Ji Nanxian didn't feel any difference, seeing the close follower presenting the box in front of him, he felt that the other party was too thoughtful: "Master Hou really has a heart..."

He got up and took the mysterious box, but he almost couldn't hug it.

This small gift...isn't it too heavy?

Ji Nanxian put the box on the small table at the side, and thanked Xiao Mu again: "It's just a kid, Lord Hou is really polite."

Xiao Mu smiled: "I heard that the young master was born round and cute, and he followed his little aunt's intelligence—"

Hengyu looked embarrassed: "?"

How could he just say what she boasted about!

"?" Ji Nanxian also looked at his younger sister inexplicably—it was only a few days old, and it was obvious that she followed her "smart and quick-wittedness"?

But when it comes to children, it is always a relaxing topic, Ji Nanxian smiled and shook his head: "No, it looks like a monkey."

Saying that, he looked at Heng Yu: "It looks like a monkey, but it's very similar to his little aunt."

Xiao Mu couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, and also looked at Hengyu.

Ji Nanxian saw it in his eyes, and felt a little bit surprised——Looking at it... his face doesn't smell bad, does he?

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two is obviously much more comfortable, Heng Yu sighed softly in her heart—very good, the relationship between the two has been brought closer, the key between them is only one who can be used as a joke.

A world where only she was injured was achieved.

After some chatting, we entered the topic of today's meeting.

The more we talked, the doubts in Ji Nanxian's heart became more and more serious. In the end, the doubts disappeared. It is true that there is only one feeling - the rumors outside are not credible at all!
What is unsmiling, always treats people with a cold face, rejects people thousands of miles away, it is all misinformation!

If you ask him, this Xiao Hou is not only approachable, but more rare is that he is humble and polite, without the sense of arrogance that takes credit for himself, such a young man is really rare.

Ji Nanxian looked at Xiao Mu gradually with admiration and appreciation, and the nervousness in his heart was slowly relieved.

Before I knew it, two pots of tea had been changed.

At the end of the talk, Ji Nanxian became more and more relaxed when he heard Xiao Mu say something about the military, and laughed heartily from time to time, feeling that the conversation was very happy.

Seeing this, Heng Yu felt that this was a sign that his elder brother was manipulated by others.

The guy who had already picked on her elder brother finally managed to talk to her and asked, "How are you doing in the palace these days?"

"Everything is as usual." Hengyu went to get some snacks at this time, and finally no longer worried about being beaten by her brother. She picked up a hibiscus cake and said, "The princess is very considerate of me, and she is meticulous and thoughtful in every aspect."

As he said that, he paused for a snack, and looked at his elder brother: "Brother has stayed in the Eastern Palace for a longer time, so he should know more about the Crown Princess—was the Crown Princess always treated people so meticulously and warmly in the past? ?”

After she said this, she obviously felt that the other party's meticulousness was a bit unusual.

Xiao Mu also subconsciously paid attention to it, and only heard Ji Nanxian say: "The Crown Princess is straightforward and neat, and her rule is quite strict. Although she has a benevolent temperament, she prefers to follow the rules. If you are meticulous and enthusiastic... I I don't think so."

"You may be an exception." Ji Nanxian said, looking at his sister with a smile: "It is an exception for you to enter the East Palace."

"That's not false." Heng Yu took a bite of the hibiscus cake, thinking about it: "But I always feel that there should be some other reasons... It seems that it's not just because I'm teaching Princess Jiayi now."

When she handed over the prescription yesterday, she had some tentative thoughts, but the other party didn't say much, just looked at her, as if there was always some other kind of thinking.

The more so, the more she felt that something was not right.

"If you say that, I also remembered something..." Ji Nanxian recalled for a while, and said: "On the morning of the day when your sister-in-law gave birth, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was discussing matters with all the officials in the main hall, I was in the front yard. While arranging trivial matters, I happened to meet the Crown Princess."

"During the chat, the Crown Princess asked me something related to you." Ji Nanxian said here, with a smile on his face: "I asked if there is any plan to discuss marriage for you at home, and asked In other words, do you have anyone you are interested in?"

Heng Yu was taken aback for a moment, and asked subconsciously: "Then how did brother answer?"

"Of course I'm telling the truth." Ji Nanxian smiled and said, "Answer no."

Heng Yu was silent.

Is this the crime of bullying?

"..." Xiao Mu, who was sitting on the side, was slightly stiff, and almost blurted out, "Why is the Crown Princess so concerned about other people's family affairs?"

We had a very heart-to-heart conversation just now, and the other party asked the following sentence, and Ji Nanxian didn't feel any difference: "I didn't have time to think about it that day, and in addition to the fact that Ah Heng's sister-in-law gave birth that day, I will tell you about it. I forgot... But thinking about it now, Ah Heng said how much the Crown Princess took care of her, which shows that she is special... You don't want to worry about Ah Heng's marriage, do you?"

Hengyu's brows jumped slightly——in other words, is it possible?

"And the question is so detailed, I'm afraid someone has already chosen it..." Ji Nanxian thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that the younger brother of the concubine's mother's family, the gentleman who is the sixth in the family, I'm planning to discuss marriage recently, could it be—"

"?" Xiao Mu suddenly felt a sense of disaster falling from the sky.

Ji Nanxian looked at Hengyu with a smile: "Jin Family Liulang, he should be about the same age as you. Speaking of which, you should have met him before, but he is a good-looking talent. What's even more rare is that he has already made a name for himself, and he only waits three years. Chunwei after the year is far from being comparable to those playboys!"

I don't know if it was because of sitting for a long time, but Xiao Mu gradually felt that he was not able to sit still.

"Brother, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much." Hengyu calmed down instead: "You also said that the Liulang of the Jin family is good everywhere, and he is also the younger brother of the princess—how do you look at it, he is not as good as a person with a notorious reputation like me?" , can’t be considered a good match? Isn’t it delusional to climb so high?”

Xiao Mu frowned slightly, and looked at her disapprovingly: "Who said that?"

Ji Nanxian glanced at him, showing the same color as the hero saw: "Master Hou also thinks that maybe he is not a good match?"

Xiao Mu: "...?!"

That's not it!
A mismatch is definitely a mismatch!

But it is by no means her high-flying——

"I just... don't agree with her being so condescending." Did Xiao Mu choose to explain clearly.

"That's right." Ji Nanxian's on-screen hero's alike-mindedness became more and more intense, and he looked at Hengyu: "Master Hou also thinks that you should not be so self-deprecating. The so-called notoriety is just the stupidity of superficial people. Just see, you are both talented and beautiful, and now you are the teacher of Princess Jiayi. Given time, you may not be able to eliminate the prejudice in the eyes of the world. Besides, the matter of discussing relatives pays attention to the best of the two surnames. If the Crown Princess and the Jin family take it seriously What does it matter what outsiders think if you are favored by me?"

Heng Yu forced a smile.

Ji Nanxian looked at Xiao Mu again: "What does Lord Xiao think?"

Xiao Mu: "..."

tired.

He looked at Hengyu: "I think we should pay more attention to Lingmei's own thoughts."

Looking at him, Hengyu seemed to start to think seriously, and said slowly: "Although it may not be the Jinjia Liulang, but if there is really a suitable person, I will seriously consider it."

Xiao Mu couldn't help being stunned.

Ji Nanxian reassuredly said: "That's right. It's not advisable to be forceful when it comes to feelings, but it's also advisable not to even look at it and deny it completely. If you miss a good marriage, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

Heng Yu curled his mouth just right, lowered his eyes and nodded: "Brother, what you said makes sense."

Seeing this, Xiao Mu looked away, and tapped twice slowly with his fingers on the tea table.

Ji Nanxian was not in a hurry to discuss this topic any more, and in a good mood, he asked Xiao Mu to add some refreshment fruits, and asked Xiao Mu to taste it: "The fruits of his family are also considered to be unique in the capital."

The hospitality is hard to turn down, Xiao Mu tasted it as he said, but he couldn't taste it.

Seeing that the time to sit here is really not short, Ji Nanxian suggested: "If there is nothing else, Ah Heng and I will go first, and Master Hou can sit for a while."

Xiao Mu glanced at Hengyu and nodded.

Ji Nanxian stood up and saluted.

Xiao Mu got up and left his seat, taking two steps.

Jin then pushed the door open, and Ji Nanxian walked out first.

Heng Yu, who took two steps back, stopped, looked at Xiao Mu who was hesitant to speak, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, is there anything else?"

"Are you really... intending to discuss marriage?" Xiao Mu looked quite uncomfortable, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

Heng Yu nodded lightly, and looked up at him seriously: "Why, does Uncle Shi also intend to take care of the marriage for me?"

"..." Xiao Mu looked at her quietly for a moment, then took a step closer to her, looked down at her, and said, "That's what I meant."

The voices of the two were extremely low, and they were quite close at this moment. At this moment, they just looked at each other silently.

"Aheng—" Ji Nanxian's urging voice came from outside the door.

Hengyu came back to her senses, and hurriedly responded: "Here we come!"

She walked away from the tall and straight figure that almost enveloped her, took a step and stopped suddenly, with no joke on her face, she asked earnestly: "Master Hou, today is a special day, isn't it?"

Xiao Mu was slightly taken aback.

How did she know?
"Will Master Hou come home?" she asked again.

This seems to be a bit of nonsense to others——

Xiao Mu nodded slightly.

"Master Hou, do you mind if I go back together?"

Xiao Mu looked at her unexpectedly when he heard the words: "If you don't mind—"

"Of course." Heng Yu showed a smile, and walked out briskly without further delay.

"What were you two whispering just now?" Ji Nanxian asked his sister in a low voice as he went down the stairs.

"It's nothing." Heng Yu responded with a smile, walked two steps quickly, and walked ahead of her elder brother.

Ji Nanxian shook his head helplessly, and followed quickly: "Don't go so fast, you haven't bought fruit for your sister-in-law yet!"

　Good evening, everybody
