auspicious time has come

Chapter 219 I'm afraid someone will snatch her away
Xiao Mu raised his hand: "The old lady is serious. The younger generation came late at night without invitation. It is impolite to bother me like this. I would like to ask the old lady to sit first."

Mrs. Meng didn't make many excuses, she nodded with a smile, and Ning Yu supported her to sit in the head seat.

After helping her grandmother to sit down, Ning Yu walked up to Heng Yu's side, and gently tugged on her sister's sleeve with a questioning look in her eyes.

Heng Yu showed a very reluctant smile to Auntie.

The current situation caught her off guard...

Seeing this, Ning Yu patted the back of her sister's hand lightly, blinked at her, and said two words silently with her lips moving - don't be afraid.

Over there, Xiao Mu sat down just now under Mrs. Meng's signal again, but his body was straight and stiff, and he didn't dare to relax at all, because he was seated ineffectively.

Seeing this, Ji Nanxian also forced himself to sit down—be calm, be calm, at least the aura of being a brother of the mother's family can't be lost!
"Just now I heard my useless grandson say in a daze... Xiao Jieshi seems to be interested in my Aheng?" Mrs. Meng asked, there was no joy or anger in her tone, only a decent smile was always on her face.

Xiao Mu lowered his head slightly, and answered without hesitation: "Yes."

Mrs. Meng said with a smile: "Xiao Jie envoy is a young hero, and he has made great achievements. It is the luck of the daughter of my Ji family to be favored by this—"

Xiao Mu hurriedly said: "It is the luck of the younger generation to meet Hengyu."

Mrs. Meng smiled noncommittally, and continued: "Although Ah Heng is a bit calmer than ordinary girls, he is still young after all. Under such circumstances, the elders will inevitably ask her one more question—I don't know. What is Xiao Jie's plan under the phrase 'favourite'?"

Ji Nanxian's face turned serious, and he felt that this question hit the point - this answer is especially important!

Xiao Mu raised his eyes to Heng Yu, and his words were clear: "I will hire you with three books and six ceremonies, respect her, give her your sincerity, protect her well-being, follow your wish, walk with you, support her, and grow old together. "

He has stayed in the battlefield for a long time, and what he has seen for many years is wind, sand and blood. He has been separated from Qingshan soft water, flowers and plants for thousands of miles.

The smile on Mrs. Meng's face did not change, she just asked again: "Then why is it today?"

Although she had noticed it a long time ago, it didn't look like the other party had prepared too much for this trip.

The young man sitting there told the truth: "Ah Heng is good everywhere. As my mother said, there is more than one person who knows the pearl with eyes. The younger generation is afraid that someone will snatch her away."

Ji Nanxian's heart swayed when he heard it—could he be talking about Mr. Jin's family?

So, the current situation is actually caused by his talking too much?
Brother Ji's family, who was slightly insane, couldn't tell what was the point for a while.

"Wisdom eyes to recognize pearls..." Mrs. Meng smiled kindly: "According to this, my family's Ah Heng is a precious pearl, Xiao Jieshi and Lingtang both have wisdom eyes?"

Xiao Mu followed with a slight smile.

However, in Heng Yu's eyes, this person still couldn't hide the tension in his bones.

At first when he faced her elder brother, he just opened his mouth to say that he liked her, and she thought that he was really calm and calm to the end.

Looking at it now, nine out of ten were forced to perform.

Ji Nanxian saw that his grandmother had no signs of objecting to this matter, so he couldn't help saying: "Grandmother, this marriage is not a child's play, and we must be very careful—"

It's not that he doesn't like Jieshi Xiao, but if he likes it, he likes it, and his sister-in-law belongs to his sister-in-law!

For Xiao Jieshi to be his sister-in-law, he was not at all psychologically prepared, if not, then it was the opposite!
"Nanxian's words are correct." Mrs. Meng nodded with a slight smile, looked at Xiao Mu, and said, "My family's Ah Heng's experience is different from that of ordinary young ladies, so her temperament and views on things are different. It's not the secular mainstream either, this point must have been noticed by the envoy Xiao—"

"Yes, Ah Heng is very different from ordinary girls."

Xiao Mu looked at Hengyu, and said in a warm voice: "The difference is roughly that she has the word 'dare' on her body, she dares to speak up for the innocent when she sees injustice, and she dares to do what she wants in her heart when she is in danger, and she is not afraid of the thorns ahead. , in the darkness and filth, she has the courage to break through the darkness. She is determined, resourceful, unbiased, and does not complain about Ai. If you compare her with ordinary girls, she will be limited. Ah Heng's strengths, regardless of gender , are all outstanding, the best of all—”

When Hengyu heard the last word, she felt that her taste had gradually changed, and she had the feeling that the other party wanted to make an alliance with her and swore to her.

However, such slightly inappropriate ways... She just happens to be very useful.

Frankly speaking, she likes to be understood and appreciated by the person she likes, beyond the relationship between men and women.

After hearing this, Ji Nanxian couldn't help being stunned.

Such an answer was beyond his expectation.

When I heard these words suddenly, they were not within my liking, but above my liking——

There is no looking down and staring as a man, and it is not even the so-called love and protection, but the appreciation and even admiration of the equal position of the eyes.

Compared with only the love between men and women and the superficial liking in the skin, this kind of true admiration is undoubtedly deeper and more solid.

Ji Nanxian, who realized this, really calmed down just now, and looked objectively at the envoy Xiao who made him awe and admired.

"Master Ji and the old lady mentioned just now that marriage is not a child's play, and I also deeply agree with it."

Thinking about the reaction of brother Cai Ji's family who was like seeing a ghost just now, and knowing that he is notorious as a military general, Xiao Mu explained: "What I said today is absolutely not intended to coerce your family into agreeing, it is just to express my heart. When Wang Guifu thinks about his marriage for Ah Heng in the future, he can also take this into consideration, instead of treating Jing Shi as a scourge or keeping him at a respectful distance—”

Seeing that he was cautious, for fear of scaring her family, Heng Yu wanted to laugh, and felt warm.

"Xiao Jieshi's words are serious." Mrs. Meng said with a smile: "Since we have become an ally, how can we not believe Xiao Jieshi's character... Let me say something understandable, if we really talk about marriage, this is a big deal. Marriage is our Ji family's top priority, why did Jieshi Xiao put himself in the position of being picked and picked?"

"In terms of character, Ah Heng and the noble family who taught Ah Heng's character are all above the younger generations. In terms of family background, Xiao was born in a humble background and has no family background to support him. It is far less than the scholarly inheritance of generations in the noble family." Xiao Xiao Mu's tone was sincere: "I really dare not take the word "Gao Pan"."

Mrs. Meng smiled and shook her head: "Emissary Xiao doesn't have to be so modest."

"No, the younger generation is in a difficult situation now, there are many disasters, and I know that I am not a good match, so I shouldn't talk about marriage prematurely, but I still have a selfish heart, so I just insisted on expressing my heart - and now that I have decided to speak, There is absolutely no reason to hide it from your house, so there is one thing that must be truthfully stated to your house.”

Heng Yu heard the mention here, subconsciously said: "Xiao Jingshi—"

Xiao Mu looked at her upon hearing the sound.

When the two looked at each other, there was a slight smile in his eyes.

Afterwards, Heng Yu heard him say to his grandmother: "This junior's real surname is Shi, not Xiao."

Everyone in the Ji family was startled.

Mrs. Meng's smile was slightly suppressed, and an astonishing guess came up in her heart: "Xiao Jieshi...is his original surname?"

"Yes, honorable name." Xiao Mu answered calmly and simply.

Mrs. Meng's expression froze for a moment.

"Shi Jingzhi..." Ji Nanxian read the name in a daze, his face gradually surprised, and then he got up from the chair suddenly, looking at the young man in shock.

As a result, Brother Ji, who had just calmed down from the astonishing realization that "Emissary Xiao actually wanted to be my sister-in-law", fell into another even more astonishing cognitive vortex again!

This night, it can be regarded as tossing his whole heart!

"Xiao Jieshi...is...?!" He didn't dare to mention that name again, and he didn't forget to look at the closed door.

Jingzhi at this time, is it really Jingzhi at the time he thought? !
Ning Yu was also suffocating, and grabbed Heng Yu's hand in disbelief, her voice was low and trembling: "Xiao Yu'er, this matter is serious..."

Heng Yu nodded lightly with her, then stepped forward a few steps, stood beside Xiao Mu, and said to his grandmother and siblings: "Jing Shi was originally the son of the late Shu Guogong, who escaped a catastrophe nine years ago and changed his appearance. , renamed Xiao Mu."

"Aheng...you already knew about it?!" Ji Nanxian almost fell on his back—how many amazing things did his sister hide from him!

"Yes, I already knew it when I was in Yingzhou." Heng Yu said frankly.

Xiao Mu stood up, stood side by side with her, raised his hand to apologize to Mrs. Meng and Ji Nanxian: "Ah Heng concealed this matter for me because he was concerned about me."

"No..." Ji Nanxian waved his hand with a complicated expression: "It's not the same reason, I'm not blaming Ah Heng for not making it clear earlier... This matter is related to the safety of the envoy Xiao, and it shouldn't be Feel free to tell others. Ah Heng is not wrong, and Xiao Jieshi is even more right."

He was just... so surprised!
"Nan Xian is right." Mrs. Meng looked at Xiao Mu, and after many words came to her lips, she just sighed softly: "Fortunately, God still has eyes, it is really a blessing among misfortunes... My child , I’m sorry for you.”

At this moment, Heng Yu turned her head to look at the person beside her, her eyes suddenly became hot, and her eyes were red.

She couldn't say exactly how she felt, but almost instinctively, she reached out and held his hand.

The two were already standing side by side, and with her sleeves covering them, this movement was considered secret.

There was a hint of warmth between Xiao Mu's brows, and when he looked at Mrs. Meng and the others, he felt even more warmth.

"Looking at it this way, it does still look a little bit like it did in the past... Although you and I didn't get along much when we were young, we still have an impression." Ji Nanxian walked closer, thinking about what happened to his family, and then looked at Looking at the young man in front of him, I couldn't help feeling a dull pain in my heart, and patted the young man's shoulder in relief. When the hand that patted the shoulder slipped, I wanted to hold the young man's hand to give deeper comfort——

Sensing his brother's intentions, Heng Yu hastily let go of his hand.

Ji Nanxian: "!"

He has seen it!

Well, in front of grandma, just like that? !
Facing Brother Ji's eyes, Xiao Mu tried his best not to look so guilty.

"The past events of the Shi family... We all have differences in our hearts." Recalling the past events, Mrs. Meng's eyes were a little bit astringent: "My good boy, how did you get here all these years? Do you want to tell me?" ? If you don't want to talk about it, it's okay... Let's just talk about it in the future."

Just like what the child just said, "Xiao Mu" came from a humble background, and it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people to be able to reach the position he is today, let alone burdened with such a heavy past...

"Thank you, old lady, for treating each other with care. There is nothing to talk about this junior's experience over the years." Xiao Mu's face was calm and relaxed, and his tone was relieved.

This relief is not about letting go of hatred and the past, but trying to make peace with my heart—this change started from the night when I went back to Duke Shu's mansion to celebrate my father's birthday.

As for what he has experienced over the years, we have to start nine years ago.

The young man who has been burdened with many burdens along the way chooses to confess all of himself frankly.

When Xiao Mu left the study here, it was past time.

With her grandmother and brothers and sisters turning a blind eye in unison, Heng Yu personally sent him out.

"You sent me back for such a trip, why did you reveal everything about yourself inside and out?" Heng Yu asked with a sigh on the way to the backyard.

"Shouldn't it be the most basic thing to show sincerity?" Xiao Mu's tone was rarely relaxed: "Besides, it's quite easy to say it."

Heng Yu shook his hand, smiled and asked: "Speaking of which, didn't you swear before that you would let me choose it, why are you so anxious to ask my grandmother and elder brother for the title now?"

The person beside her said leisurely: "When did I want a title? After all, I just want to be eligible to be a candidate."

"But you said such a thing, how can there be room for someone else? And you brought up the truth of the past, which made my grandmother's heart soften, and she didn't know how to cherish you. It's me Brother and sister, those two pairs of eyes are going to be swollen from crying for you—"

Xiao Mu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Perhaps... this is the so-called unexpected joy?"

Heng Yu then looked at him suspiciously: "Xiao Jingshi, aren't you deliberately playing tricks?"

Xiao Mu looked forward with a smile in his eyes, noncommittal: "Among the strategies of strategists, this is the one I am least good at."

"But I see you are very handy." Heng Yu raised his hand and tugged at his ears.

Xiao Mu let out a soft "hiss", and turned to remind her: "This is at your house, be careful I called grandma and elder brother to come—"

"Now you rely on them to cherish you, right?"

Xiao Mu held his hand behind his back, and said in a pleasant tone, "Not only now, but I plan to rely on it in the future."

"You are still a character, why did you bring this method of fighting for favor into my family—"

"You have already won my mother's whole heart away. I have suffered from this for a long time, so why did you say anything?"

The moon was as bright as a mirror, and the low chatter and laughter of the two gradually faded away.

……

On the other side, Ji Nanxian returned to the bedroom in the courtyard, but his wife was still awake.

"Why did you come back? After talking for so long, what did you say!" Yu asked her husband, scratching her heart and lungs for a long time, and pushed back all the servants.

Ji Nanxian lowered his eyes and came to the bedside to sit down. Only then did Yu see her husband's eyes red, and she couldn't help but be taken aback: "...Have you ever cried? It's not yet time to get married, isn't it too early to cry? ?”

"It's not because of this." Ji Nanxian put his hands on his knees and sighed, his voice hoarse.

　Thank you for your monthly tickets, messages, rewards, thank you, good night~
