The generation in the capital city, headed by the children in the study above, including the eldest prince, who is now the prince, are all submissive in front of Yan Shiyue, so Xu Jingxi was very respectful to Yan Shiyue before they got engaged, and now
What's more, he simply gave the gift of courtesy.
Yan Shiyue smiled and nodded.
She came here specially to take a look.
When Xu Jingxi came out, the smile was still on his lips, but he stopped it when he saw her. This shows that he is not disgusted with the "true face" of rice cakes, and even likes them.
Yan Shiyue called Sun Wuniang again and asked about it. She felt relieved and left it alone.
In fact, this can be regarded as a little fun between two people! It is more interesting than the step-by-step engagement and marriage.
From that day on, Xu Jingxi often sent small things here.
A pack of snacks, a toy, and a book, very casual. If you let me in, he will come in and sit, look at the sky and say a few words. If you are not allowed in, he will give the things and leave, which actually makes it a little sweet.
.
After a few days, the Supreme Emperor's Qianqiu came.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty still didn't plan to make a big deal, so he just wanted to have fun in the garden with his family.
Huo Yuchu almost grew up in the garden, so this time during the Qianqiu Festival, Meng Hui left it to her to take care of.
As a young girl with a lot of burdens, Huo Yuchu was very concerned about it and was busy working on it, fearing that nothing would be perfect.
Because the prince's generation is gradually growing up, their companions, friends, etc. also go there a lot. There are many families where the adults are not qualified to go, but the children can follow and join in the fun.
Several brothers from the Xu family also went. After the banquet, Huo Yuchu asked someone to bring fruits to them. The hospitality was very considerate and gave them enough face.
Yan Shiyue built a greenhouse here, and the fruits and vegetables are always green all year round, which is a real blessing for these small government officials.
When Shen Zheng arrived (16 o'clock), everyone left one after another, and Huo Yuchu also brought his maid over to see if there was anything that needed to be dealt with.
Who would have thought that as soon as I walked to Taosheng Pavilion, I heard the voice of a young man whose voice was changing: "So what! The fifth brother said that people like her have no ideas and are lively. They are just a beauty picture, so they just hang up.
It’s on the wall.”
While they were talking, the teenagers also came out of the corridor and met him face to face.
Several teenagers were so frightened that their expressions changed on the spot.
Huo Yuchu originally didn't think that this sentence had something to do with her, but when he saw the expressions of these people, he couldn't help but be startled.
At this time, a young man shouted: "Xu Ba! How could you insult Princess Changle like this! Why don't you apologize to the Princess!"
Xu Jingyan was walking behind and hadn't seen Huo Yuchu yet, so he just replied casually: "I didn't say that, it was the fifth brother..."
When he saw Huo Yuchu, he was so frightened that he completely woke up from the wine.
He is the concubine of Xu's family, the concubine of Xu Jingxi. He is neither a man nor a martial artist, and he is a concubine. He rarely has the opportunity to participate in such occasions. He was so praised that he forgot his form. After drinking a few more glasses, he turned out to be
He said the wrong thing without restraint, and the person involved got caught.
No matter how stupid he is, he still knows the meaning of being cold-hearted. Even if he hates his brother in his heart, he will never dare to say that his family is not good at all. Now...
He was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain.
Several other teenagers were also waiting anxiously.
Only Huo Yuchu still looked calm, as if he hadn't heard anything, and smiled generously: "Why are you here? The banquet in front of you has already dispersed. I'll ask someone to take you out. It's too late, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back to the city in time.
"
He nodded with a smile, turned around and left.
Xu Jingyan's face was blue and his head was swollen. He chased for two steps, but was stopped by the eunuch with a smile: "I will send some of you out."
Xu Jingyan knew that it would be over if he couldn't explain clearly at this time, but how could he dare to catch up with her after she left!
He was so anxious that he turned around and offered his hands to everyone: "Brothers, please save me. Please don't tell anyone what happened today."
They are all children of aristocratic families, and no one is stupid. They each had a laugh, and then quickly dispersed.
However, the young man named Cheng in the middle, the young man who revealed Xu Jingyan's identity, looked happy. As soon as he got home, he hurriedly went to find his brother: "Brother! There is a bright future! Your opportunity has come!"
After Huo Yuchu returned, Yan Shiyue and Meng Hui were eating fruit together. Yan Shiyue was making shaved ice by herself, and asked casually: "What fruit do you eat?"
Huo Yuchu hesitated for a moment.
Meng Hui noticed it, put down the bowl, and pulled her to her side: "What's wrong?"
Huo Yuchu whispered: "It's not a big deal, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Meng Hui said: "It doesn't matter, you don't care about this, just say so."
Huo Yuchu told the story.
Yan Shiyue and Meng Hui both had dark faces.
After a long while, Meng Huicai said: "What do you think?"
Huo Yuchu lowered his eyes and said, "Judging from the situation at the time, these words should indeed be what he said."
She paused: "I want to break off the engagement."
Yan Shiyue was originally very angry, but was frightened away by her daughter's decisive decision, and looked at her in surprise.
Meng Hui was not surprised, and patted her hand: "Actually, Xu Wu is a good child, but it's impossible to tell if he likes this kind of thing. If he likes you, you should behave and be dignified. If he doesn't like you, you should be dignified.
Being dignified is also rigid... Although it doesn't sound like a big deal, the girl in our family is a noble and perfect person. There are many good husbands in the world. I can't ask for any of them, and I won't have to suffer even the slightest grievance."
Yan Shiyue watched the two exchanges silently.
Huo Yuchu nodded: "Grandma, I thought the same thing. Fortunately, I knew it in time and it was too late, otherwise I wouldn't have been sick."
Since something like this happened, there was no need to give them face, so Meng Hui sent a female official over directly.
At this moment, several members of the Xu family have just returned to the mansion and are talking to Mrs. Xu in front.
Xu Jingxi seized the opportunity today and spoke several words to Huo Yuchu. She was very happy and thought about what else to find to please her.
Xu Qi has always been close to him and couldn't help but whisper in his ear: "Sister-in-law... you can't tell at all!"
Xu Jingxi glared at him warningly, Xu Qi chuckled and touched her nose, not daring to say anything more.
There was a smile on Xu Jingxi's lips, and his mood was such that everyone would get drunk even if they were not drunk.
Who knew that at this moment, I suddenly heard that the female official in the palace was coming.
Everyone is a little strange.
The old lady hurriedly called for someone to come in, and the female officer said directly, "It is the decree of the Supreme Empress that the marriage between your grandson and Princess Changle is now over."
A sudden sap hit the Xu family so hard that they didn't recover for a long time.
Xu Jingxi reacted quickly and hurried forward to salute: "Sir, may I ask why this is? Why do you want to break off the engagement properly?"
The female official said: "I have to ask the Eighth Young Master of your mansion."
She bowed, turned and left.
Xu Jingyan was worried all the way over there, and he didn't dare to tell his family. He never expected... things would happen so fast and be so serious.
He told the story while crying.
Xu Jingxi was shocked and angry: "How did you know this?"
Xu Jingyan cried: "I...I just overheard what you and your mother said..."
Xu Jingxi is young and mature, and is not a middle-aged boy who likes to show off. Huo Yuchu's identity is here, and he is friends with the whole family, so he must give his wife enough respect. He only said this once when he was joking with Mrs. Xu.
, he never expected that he would hear it, let alone that it would reach Huo Yuchu's ears.
Xu Jingxi was angry and anxious for a moment, but what she was thinking about the most was...she should be sad! She will definitely be sad!
Xu Jingxi turned around and walked out the door, then quickly returned to Wannian Garden.
But he was not allowed to enter the garden, and Xu Jingxi refused to leave. When night fell, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and someone slowly came out. Xu Jingxi rushed to meet him, but it was Huo Yuxin.
He asked calmly: "Is that what you said?"
Xu Jingxi was speechless for a moment. (To be continued)
