Miss Xu of Qiantang

Chapter 9: A 3-Year Covenant

After Xu Xian heard Bai Suzhen's shocking words, he managed to spit out the tea that he hadn't eaten yet.

Not to mention that this sentence came from a woman who looks so dignified and wise in ordinary times, even a bold and unrestrained chivalrous woman might not dare to say such blatant words. Xu Xian was really taken aback by Bai Suzhen's courage. Busily calmed down, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Bai Suzhen: "Miss Bai, you just need to tell me this, don't let others know, otherwise not only you but also I will jump into the Yellow River and wash away."

Bai Suzhen opened her teeth in person, and the red gold tassel phoenix hairpin on her temples flickered slightly, "Xu Xianggong, don't remember to say no, please listen to my past."

Seeing that there was a lot to be said about this matter, Xu Xian sat there peacefully as if he had taken a reassurance, not daring to move, for fear of missing a word from Bai Suzhen.

"Xu Xianggong, you also met those bad relatives of my family just now." When Bai Suzhen said this, she pretended to be sad, which made people feel pity. Thanks to Xu Xianggong, you just spoke up, so they didn't dare to act rashly."

Having said this, Bai Suzhen paused for a moment, and seeing that Xu Xian's expression was normal, she made up her mind to say the words she had prepared before, "It's just that they won't let it go, I'm afraid..." Up to this point , Bai Suzhen's voice trembled a little, without the heroine spirit just now, as if only a helpless and weak woman was left to confide to Xu Xian.

After hearing this, Xu Xian immediately replied: "If this is the case, Miss Bai needn't worry, the wealth belongs to you, and you are right to sue the government, not to mention that Miss Bai is still a family of officials, and they are no more than commoners. Wait, I'm afraid they will be skinned before they see Miss Bai go to court."

Xu Xian felt that what he said was well-founded, but Bai Suzhen still had a worried expression on her face, thinking what could be wrong?

Before Xu Xian could think about it, Bai Suzhen expressed her worry, "If it is true what Mr. Xu said, it would be great, but..." Bai Suzhen stopped, and walked back and forth in the room for a while, before finally He said to Xu Xian, "It's just that the family wealth doesn't belong to me completely."

Sure enough, when Xu Xian heard this, he could only see a layer of doubt on his face, and Bai Suzhen no longer pretended to hesitate, and told him the rest of the words: "This wealth is the dowry left by my late father for me to live and live. money, and my late father hoped that I could find Mr. Ruyi as soon as possible, so he asked a patriarch of the family to witness, as long as I found Mr. Ruyi, the wealth of this family would be mine. Hearing other people's instigation, saying that if I have not married after [-], I will not be able to marry a good man, and this money is like going to a tiger's mouth, so my late father said that I will not get this money before I am [-]. One point is used for the clan's family to study sacrifices, saving those philistine families at a lower price."

"This uncle is really confused." Xu Xian thought it was amused. After a few words from others, he was able to get back his daughter's dowry money, which is really rare.

"That's why I left my hometown and went to Hangzhou to hide from those relatives, who would have thought that they would chase me here for my little living money." At this point, Bai Suzhen's voice choked up, with tears in her eyes, But then took an embroidered handkerchief to wipe away the tears, and continued: "That's why I want to marry Mr. Xu, so that I can get my family wealth."

Xu Xian couldn't laugh anymore after hearing this, and frowned and said, "But you can't just come to me just because of this, and besides, with Miss Bai's appearance, how can you not find such a good man?"

Bai Suzhen sighed and said: "How can I not know what Xu Xianggong said, but I am about nineteen years old, and I am afraid that if I look for it in a hurry, it will not be a relationship or a grudge!" , who knows that he is coveting me and marrying me, so I also have the idea of ​​setting up my own family, but life is difficult without money, and an unmarried girl must not be bullied to death."

After saying this, Xu Xian had a deep understanding. He remembered that when his sister was not married, she had to be bullied by some rascals. Fortunately, Li Gongfu had already taken a fancy to his sister. Nothing happened.

After Bai Suzhen finished speaking, she bowed to Xu Xian Yingying, Xu Xian hurriedly gave her a hand when she saw it, he and Bai Suzhen were of the same generation, but she couldn't bear this big gift, but Bai Suzhen insisted on doing it, and said in her mouth: "Mr. If you don’t agree, I will definitely bow down.”

Xu Xian had no choice but to say, "Then tell me what you think first, I can't just agree without knowing everything.

"

Bai Suzhen saw that Xu Xian seemed to be moving on purpose, so she hurriedly said to Xu Xian: "Actually, I have been tempting Mr. Xu a lot in the past few days. It's not that I'm really so brazen. I really want to rely on Mr. Xu and force me to marry me."

Xu Xian secretly slandered, but these few days it really seemed like he was forced to marry her, Xu Xian didn't show anything on his face, let's see what Bai Suzhen had to say.

"I see that the young master is not ignorant of picking up money, so he must not be a person who loves money. I pretended to be interested in the young master, but the young master was unmoved. There are many beauties around the young master, but they still don't look at them differently. I think the young master must not be greedy. A man of good looks." Hearing Bai Suzhen say this about himself, Xu Xian felt a little embarrassed, he didn't expect his deeds to be a modest gentleman in Bai Suzhen's eyes, he was really ashamed.

Bai Suzhen said again: "Besides, I see that the young master seems unwilling to get married. Although I don't know the reason, he is really the person Suzhen is looking for." I really should marry a man, Xu Xian thought.

Seeing that Xu Xian's tea was mostly cold, Bai Suzhen changed a cup of tea for Xu Xian herself and said, "Suzhen thought, even if you don't want to get married, Mr. Xu, others will force Mr. Xu to get married, and now Suzhen also needs to find someone urgently." Come to get married, how about we each get what we need and get married?"

Bai Suzhen's bright eyes looked at her without blinking, as if she wanted to see what happened to her, and more importantly, she wanted to read the answer from her face. Xu Xian also pretended not to change his face, but in fact his heart was seven Up and down.

Xu Xian seemed to be cheering himself up, drank the tea, cleared his throat, and said, "It's not difficult to get married, but how long will it take?" Married for a lifetime, the fake marriage has become a real marriage.

Bai Suzhen seemed to have been prepared for a long time, with a smile on her face, and replied without thinking: "Three years." Seeing that Xu Xian seemed to be in disbelief, she added: "My father also thought that it would be difficult for me to be alone, so he called If the witnesses see that my marriage has been healthy for three years, they can get the rest of the money, and don’t care about anything else.”

Xu Xian asked suspiciously: "Really?" Although he was still a little shaken after hearing Bai Suzhen's words just now, he couldn't easily believe that this was a scam like the fairy dance that others often said.

But after thinking about it, her family is so poor, what can Bai Suzhen get if she really set up a trick to deceive herself, so Xu Xian really has some intention of agreeing, but she dare not speak lightly.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Xu Xian's face, Bai Suzhen took out a stack of deeds from the pear blossom wood hollowed-out carved small box that had been approved earlier, and said to Xu Xian with a smile: "If Mr. Xu doesn't believe it, you can see what my late father found. You can know that what I said is true from the written evidence that people put down." His expression was very sincere, and he did not lie in the slightest.

Xu Xian took a closer look and found that the white and black paper also had the big seal of the local yamen on it, as well as the family seal of the Bai family.

But Xu Xian still had doubts in his heart, Bai Suzhen saw it and said decisively: "If Mr. Xu still refuses to believe, Suzhen is willing to kill Xiaoming herself." After speaking, Bai Suzhen took a knife that came out of nowhere and pointed at herself Commanding to go, Xu Xian didn't care about the incompatibility of men and women, and hurriedly pulled Bai Suzhen not to let her do stupid things, otherwise, when Xiaoqing came in later and saw Bai Suzhen's hands covered with blood, he might hack herself to death. It is not impossible to kill the street.

"Miss Bai, there is a way for everything." Xu Xian snatched the knife from Bai Suzhen's hand, took a breath, and said to Bai Suzhen with reproach.

But Xu Xian also thought that if he and Bai Suzhen had been a nominal couple for the past three years, and then reconciled and divorced, and only said that he had no more love for her, Xu Jiaorong might not force him to get married again. Thinking of this, It was rare for Xu Xian to show a smile, so he said to Bai Suzhen, "Actually, it's not impossible."

Seeing that Xu Xian was relieved, Bai Suzhen hurriedly bowed to Xu Xian, but Xu Xian didn't have time to stop her and said: "But I have a few things, and I ask you to agree."

Xu Xian talked about this, but Bai Suzhen had something she shouldn't do, so she hurriedly asked Xu Xian to speak up.

"First, my sister must not know the truth about this matter." Xu Xian frowned while thinking.

"That's natural." Bai Suzhen smiled like a flower, and only the joy that Xu Xian promised was left in her heart.

Xu Xian tapped his forehead with his hand, looked at Bai Suzhen and said in embarrassment: "No matter what, I will give the girl a letter to release her wife after three years." The implication is that this relative will definitely reconcile.

But Bai Suzhen said indifferently: "Even if Xu Xianggong doesn't say anything, I will ask myself to come down."

Seeing that Bai Suzhen had agreed, Xu Xian said the last thing about him, "After I get married, I don't have to share the same bed with Miss Bai!"

This is what Xu Xian wanted to say the most. Although the red bead given by the Taoist priest cast a layer of blindness, even if he took off all his clothes, others would not be able to see his real body, but Xu Xian still did not dare to take the risk. After all, I still vividly remember the scene of my mother's tragic death.

"Of course." Bai Suzhen smiled gracefully, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Since that's the case, in a few days, I will ask the matchmaker to propose marriage here in person."

Bai Suzhen brushed her beautiful hair left in front, as if thinking of something, said solemnly: "Why don't you go to the original Bai Mansion to propose marriage?" After mentioning marriage, there must be questions about names and marriage, and men and women can't meet again before they get married. I live here, and it's inconvenient to get engaged. Why don't you bother Mr. Xu to ask a matchmaker to go to the original White Mansion? Better."

Everything Bai Suzhen said made sense, seeing her thinking so meticulously, Xu Xian agreed, and only said that he would tell her about it when his sister came back.

Bai Suzhen personally sent Xu Xian to the door, seeing him smiling, Xu Xian shivered from the laughter, if not for Bai Suzhen's previous words, Xu Xian would have thought that Bai Suzhen was going to force a kiss again.

When they got home, Xu Jiaorong was already cooking today's dinner, Xu Xian hesitantly explained that he wanted to marry Bai Suzhen.When Xu Jiaorong heard this, she almost cut off her hand while chopping vegetables.She looked at Xu Xian for a long time, not knowing whether she was crying or laughing, and then went out to see if the sun had set in the east today, did this silly brother come to his senses?

How to persuade him first, but he didn't listen, why did this good thing happen when he went out by himself today?Xu Jiaorong was also suspicious, so she hurriedly pulled Xu Xian to ask him why he changed his mind so well.

Xu Xian just casually talked about the reasons that he was not young and found that Miss Bai was really a good match lady, etc. Xu Jiaorong was only happy in her heart, Ren Xu Xian only listened to what Xu Xian said, and said that she would not cook, so hurry up Find a matchmaker to finalize the marriage, so as not to keep my younger brother from changing his mind.

Xu Xian hurriedly grabbed Xu Jiaorong, and told her what Bai Suzhen said before he left today. After hearing this, Xu Jiaorong praised her younger brother for being sensible, and pulled Xu Xian to pay respects to the ancestors. All in all, she was extremely happy.

Not to mention how happy the Xu family was, even here in the Bai family, Bai Suzhen also combed her clothes in front of the mirror and smiled before saying a word, shy and timid, so cute.

Xiaoqing, who brought the tea, also laughed when she saw it, "It seems that my sister finally got her wish." The words were full of jokes.

Bai Suzhen gave her a charming white look, and only smirked at herself in the mirror. Seeing Bai Suzhen like this, Xiaoqing couldn't help being a little worried, "Sister, although you and Xu Xian can get married, it's only been three years. I haven't moved my heart for you in the past three years, what should I do?"

Bai Suzhen put away her smile, and said helplessly: "That's really the case, that's God's will, but I will definitely make him famous in the past three years, forget about my wish, and he will become a flying fairy in the future." What do you think of again? Asked Xiaoqing: "Today's little monsters who are playing tricks, can you give them a good place?"

Xiaoqing replied very dissatisfied: "Sister, you can't trust me like that!" Then she picked up the sandalwood comb on the stage and combed Bai Suzhen's hair and said with a smile: "You should first think about how you want to be a bride! "

Bai Suzhen glanced at Xiaoqing coquettishly, and saw that the face in the mirror was full of crimson, and she was a little shy, but she felt uneasy in her heart, thinking about the past three years...
