"Grandpa, don't worry, my granddaughter is not a fool." Xu Mingyi said with a smile: "What's more, I won't get married tomorrow. The future is long. Isn't there still a grandfather to look after me?"
To put it bluntly, if she really made a mistake, it would be fine. She was just wasting some thoughts. She has never been someone who can't afford to let go.
If you like it, hold it tight; if you don't like it, let go. In her opinion, this matter is not that complicated.
"That's true." Duke Zhenguo nodded, took a long breath, and said: "Grandpa understands what you mean. You are trying to find a solution that has both sides. Grandpa respects your idea... As for
I will pay more attention and consider how to achieve both in the future."
The old man said, unconsciously tightening his grip on the relief on the chair: "Don't worry, as long as it's someone you really like, my grandfather will definitely find a way to get it for you."
While Xu Mingyi was moved, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled - their ancestors of the Xu family were clearly not from bandits...
Why are the two of them so gangster?
Of course, she has a part in this so-called one or two.
It's important for people to know themselves, so she said calmly: "Thank you, grandpa, for making it happen."
She knew that the reason why her grandfather didn't say a word of objection might have something to do with the divination that Mr. Yao had made earlier - but, on second thought, even if she said she liked someone else today, her grandfather would definitely be the same.
I agreed immediately.
So, this is her luck.
"Thank you for what? I brought your father into this world, and your father brought you into this troubled world, so naturally I have the responsibility to protect my Zhao Zhao and be happy!" Zhen Guogong took it for granted.
Preaching tone.
Xu Mingyi curled his lips.
Yes, my grandfather has always done this.
Therefore, she has even more responsibility to protect her grandfather's safety.
"By the way, I came to look for my grandfather today because I actually wanted to ask about Miss Cai." Xu Mingyi was able to mention the matter at this time.
"You heard about it so soon?"
The Duke of Zhen Guo picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, without any fluctuation in his tone.
Xu Mingyi nodded and asked, "I wonder how my grandfather arranged this matter?"
"At first, when your second uncle brought the person back, he treated her like a rough servant and a maid. He had to do all the dirty work -"
Xu Mingyi was a little stunned when he heard this.
But after thinking about it carefully, I can't help but feel that this is indeed something that my second uncle can do.
"This traitor never made it clear to me at first that this person is Mr. Cai's successor. It is His Majesty's order to come to the Zhenguo Palace. It really offends me." The Zhenguo said these words, but he was not angry at all.
He looked like, "After I found out, how could I let him do what he did? After beating the traitor, he asked your mother to have someone clean up another courtyard just to receive this distinguished guest."
After hearing this, Xu Mingyi couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement: "This is the etiquette way to treat guests."
Although she had already heard it, her grandfather and second uncle were clearly playing a good role and playing a bad role.
Taking advantage of the second uncle's mistake of "acting randomly", he naturally treated people as distinguished guests and gave them a separate courtyard to live in -
The courtyard where the female guest lived was naturally the inner courtyard. Under such circumstances, if the other party wanted to meet her second uncle without hindrance, she would have to do what she did today - deliberately looking for an opportunity to follow her.
Not to mention, an opportunity like today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, it is normal for her second uncle to stay away from home for the whole winter.
As for being a monster in the inner courtyard?
That's even more unfortunate. Ever since she was poisoned, the inner courtyard of her home is now tightly controlled by her mother. If the other party wants to stir up trouble, it will really make things difficult for her.
"However, I heard from Akui that His Majesty still intends to grant a marriage to this person for my second uncle after the Wanfu Building is completed next year?"
"Well, now this matter has been spread outside." Zheng Guogong said: "But this kind of thing will only hinder your reputation, so it doesn't matter."
Xu Mingyi is not worried about this.
This world is the most tolerant towards men, especially when it comes to things like this, and the second uncle is not an official, but just a scholar - no matter how outrageous the rumor is, in the end, it is just a so-called romance of a romantic and talented man.
"Is it really time for marriage?"
In her opinion, this still needs to be planned in advance.
Although His Majesty the Emperor must have spoken very beautifully and claimed that he would not force his uncle to do anything, if the second uncle does not have an absolutely suitable reason to refuse, it would be arrogant at best and arrogant at worst.
Became without a king——
It will undoubtedly be troublesome if someone uses it to make a fuss about it.
But if you agree to this decree and really marry someone back, it will be difficult to guard against the person next to you for a thousand days.
"Your second uncle has already planned this himself! He said that he would clean up the trouble he caused." At this point, Zhen Guogong looked a little unhappy.
"How will the second uncle prepare to respond?"
"When His Majesty is ready to grant a marriage, he will make the fact of his broken sleeves public to the public——"
Hearing this, the tea cup in Xu Mingyi's hand almost fell from his hand.
What a way to deal with this!
but……
It seems like you really can’t find anything wrong with it?
After thinking about it carefully, I can't help but want to give people a thumbs up and praise me for being impeccable?
After all, the second uncle is still unmarried at his age. If he told the world that he had a habit of cutting off his sleeves, most people's reaction would be - look, just say he is a manly man and finally admit it!
What a convincing and reasonable excuse.
It even seemed that her second uncle was of reliable character and very particular, and did not want to delay Miss Cai.
After thinking about this, Xu Mingyi couldn't help but realize the horror of this method - it sounded absurd at first, but upon closer consideration, it seemed so perfect that it was impossible to refute.
Presumably the reason why my grandfather did not object was because he felt that there was no more perfect method than this, right?
Of course, he must have seriously given up hope on his second uncle getting a wife.
But...can we really not save the second uncle’s marriage?
Xu Mingyi looked at his grandfather's expression of "Sooner or later we will have to lose this son", and still said: "Anyway, there is still some time before Wanfu Building is completed. Maybe he can think of a better way, but there is no need.
I don’t want my second uncle to harm himself like this.”
The Duke of Zhen Guo said noncommittally: "Let's see about it in the future."
"In my opinion, grandpa, why did the emperor send Cai Jin to his second uncle at this time?" Xu Mingyi then asked.
It is naturally obvious that he should be put into the Zhenguo government office as an eyeliner.
But what should be done and what should be investigated when this informant comes in is worth pondering.
