embarrassment for man and wife

Although the heavy rain came suddenly, it was not surprising. After all, it has been two days in a row, and the weather is so gloomy. It will rain sooner or later.

Inside Taoshe Yaju, there are still many guests today, but because of the heavy rain, there are no new guests, so Ziqing and the others are rarely lazy for a while.In the hall in the backyard of Yaju, everyone was sitting here, talking about the progress of Taoshe Yaju these days.Excluding the three days of opening, half of Taoshe Yaju's income was cleared out, and after sorting out, it was handed over to the First Prince's Mansion, and the remaining half was also quite fruitful.

First, the calligraphy of the four gentlemen sits in the town, and then there is the seal of the eldest prince. Invisibly, people will think that the real owner behind this Taoshe Yaju is probably the prince of the current dynasty, but even if not, the relationship must be very close For these reasons, there are not a few people who come here admiringly every day.

In the corner of the hall, Zhuohua stared blankly at the heavy rain outside. He looked dazed, obviously in a trance. He didn't even listen carefully to what Ziqing said to his parents. The figure, holding an oil umbrella, was getting closer and closer, and Zhuo Hua seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and he stood up suddenly.

"Zhaohua? What's wrong with you?"

Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

Zhuo Hua pointed outside: "The fourth brother is back."

Not long after his voice fell, Xie Junnan's figure holding the umbrella had already approached, but...even with the umbrella, Xie Junnan's body was still mostly soaked.

Chen Shi and Li Mu were astonished, they didn't even ask questions, and only asked Xie Junnan to change his clothes first, so as not to catch cold for a while.

Xie Junnan smiled at everyone, and the obedient one went to change his clothes first, and when he came back, everyone cast doubtful eyes on him again.

Xie Junnan was slightly startled, and then laughed: "I met a friend I hadn't seen for a long time outside Yaju, so I went out with him for a while, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily on the road not long after I came back."

Everyone nodded, and Pang De didn't ask any more questions, but Zhuo Hua frowned slightly, staring at him suspiciously, obviously disbelieving him, Xie Junnan pursed his lips and smiled at him, and only pinched Zhuo Hua secretly. Hua's hand, then turned around and looked at everyone to change the subject: "By the way, what were you all talking about when I came back just now?".

"It's nothing," Ziqing said, "I just talked to Father and the others about the income of Taoshe Yaju in the past few days."

Xie Junnan nodded: "Speaking of which, Taoshe Yaju has a stable income these days, and the income is good, so... should you also bring up your marriage?".

Ziqing was startled immediately.

As expected, Zhuohua's attention was diverted in an instant, and he also looked serious, staring at Ziqing seriously: "It is true, second brother, your marriage should not be delayed."

Ziqing couldn't laugh or cry.

Chen Shi and Li Mu glanced at each other, they didn't know what they were thinking of, although there was a smile on their faces, they looked at Ziqing with vague embarrassment.

Xie Junnan didn't care what Ziqing thought, he just asked straight to the point: "What do you think of the county lord's daughter, Liuli?".

County Lord! ?

Ziqing was surprised, he turned his head to look at the crowd, and seeing that they were all staring at him, he was stunned for a while before he said: "How dare you, I, I am just a common man, how dare I think about the county lord's daughter?".

Xie Junnan smiled faintly: "How can you be considered a common man? Your uncle is a dignified general of the town army, and your uncle is also a dignified prince. Based on these two points alone, there are many people in this capital who want to climb this gate with you. In terms of marriage, the daughter of the county lord matches you, no matter what you say, it is a good match."

Hearing this, Ziqing was obviously stunned. He hadn't thought about this at all.

After Chen and Li Mu heard this, they nodded secretly. Thinking about the scene where the county magistrate personally brought his children to support him that day, the husband and wife finally understood that Ziqing's identity mismatch is one thing. Well, I'm afraid, it was the intention of the county lord to bring his daughter here on purpose, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the two young people and not damage each other's reputation, but... now Xie Junnan is so direct After coming out, I am afraid that he also knew something from the county lord.

And Xie Junnan did know something, but he didn't know it from the county lord, but from the eldest prince, and the day he knew it was the day of the opening. When Ziqing was with the eldest prince and the county lord.

Xie Junnan already knew what the county lord meant. If he hadn't been interested in Ziqing, the county lord would not have brought his children here. As for when Liuli fell in love with Ziqing, I'm afraid Ziqing himself didn't know, but...

With a faint smile, Xie Junnan said: "If it is someone else, I will not dare to say it, but Liuli, I am still sure. Although Liuli is the daughter of the county lord and the grandson of the royal family, she is different from ordinary women. Wan Xian Shu, treats people kindly, but is not the kind of cowardly person, if you have Liuli to help you take care of your family business in Nuoda, you will be able to relax a lot."

Chen and the others were naturally moved by Xie Junnan's guarantee of character, but the key to this kind of thing would depend on Ziqing's answer or not.

Pursing his lips, Ziqing didn't speak immediately, his lowered eyes seemed to be thinking seriously.

Xie Junnan was not in a hurry, he just pulled Zhuohua over, let Zhuohua sit down at the table, looked at Chen and the others, and persuaded: "Let Ziqing think about this matter, if Ziqing takes it seriously No, Liuli is not the kind of person who stalks, and then I will have another helper to see each other, and there is no need to worry about offending her with the county lord. This kind of thing is originally about your love and my willingness. , what's more, Wan Tuxiu and the county lord's mansion were not in opposition to each other in the court."

Chen and the others were secretly relieved. Although they didn't say anything, Xie Junnan did guess their worries.

After a long time, Ziqing still shook his head: "Forget it, I have never met the county lord's daughter before, and I can't even talk about being moved, so how can I talk about marriage? If I just chose this marriage to avoid some things , That's just me taking advantage of others for my own self-interest, and even ruining a girl's happiness, I can't do such a thing."

Zhuohua's heart tensed when he heard that, he heard Ziqing's meaning, and vaguely felt that Ziqing had already guessed why they were so anxious to urge him to get married, but Ziqing refused.

Xie Junnan was not anxious, he smiled lightly: "In that case, then I won't force it, I will explain to the county lord." After a pause, Xie Junnan said again: "By the way, Wan Qixiu was outside for the first two days Picked up a girl and came back, that girl looks like a lady in distress from some family, if you don't mind, let her run around in Taoshe Yaju some other day, and do a favor."

Ziqing looked at him suspiciously.

Xie Junnan only said: "After all, the General's Mansion is not an ordinary mansion, and it is not suitable to accommodate people with unknown origins, and the Xie Mansion is even more inappropriate."

"Why?" Ziqing really asked.

Xie Junnan chuckled lightly: "In Xie's mansion, my grandma is old enough to worry about Shuyu on weekdays, so why let her worry about an outsider? It is most appropriate for her to be placed here with you."

Ziqing frowned and began to think seriously.

The General's Mansion is indeed not an ordinary mansion, you can't take in outsiders at will, Xie's Mansion... the old matriarch is old, and it's really not good to add trouble to the old matriarch.What's more, even if the current relationship between Xie Junnan and Zhuohua is very good, Ziqing is not at ease letting a woman dangle in front of the two of them. After all, isn't there a saying?A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing. Although Xie Junnan is not that kind of person, but... some people can't help but have evil thoughts...

cough!

Probably because Ziqing also felt that he was thinking too much, he looked slightly embarrassed, coughed lightly, and then readily responded: "In that case, let her stay here for a while."

Xie Junnan pursed his lips and smiled, obviously very satisfied with Ziqing's answer.

*******************************************************************************

When leaving Taoshe Yaju, Zhuohua stared at Xie Junnan suspiciously, until Xie Junnan couldn't hold back, he lifted him into his arms and hugged him!

"But you want it?" Xie Junnan said in a faint voice.

Zhuohua was stunned for a moment: "What do you want?".

Xie Junnan smiled lowly, and leaned closer to his ear: "What do you think?" He moved his palm down, and poked directly under Zhuohua's body.

Zhuo Hua's face turned red, he shrank back, and hurriedly pressed Xie Junnan's mischievous hand: "Don't make trouble, this is on the carriage!" Pulling Xie Junnan's hand away, Zhuo Hua immediately got up and sat aside, looking at him with a serious face: " To be honest, are you plotting against my second brother?".

"How could it be?" Xie Junnan said with an innocent face, "What am I planning to do with Ziqing?".

Zhuohua squinted his eyes: "Then you are the matchmaker for him, and you are also for his Taoshe Yaju Lisai people? My second brother has been busy in Taoshe Yaju these days, has my uncle saved people?" Come back, he doesn't know, but I know."

Xie Junnan suddenly laughed, he stretched out his hand again, and hugged Zhuohua: "Little ghost spirit".

"Tell me quickly, what's going on," Zhuo Hua urged.

Xie Junnan sighed twice with a smile, and then said: "This person is actually Liuli, and Liuli really fell in love with Ziqing. That's why he brought the county lord and Tonghua to Taoshe Yaju before. This matter should not be publicized Yes, it's just that the eldest prince was too sharp that day, and he made it clear that there was no room for people to relax."

Zhuge Qing's temper...

Zhuo Hua was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this person was cold, and if he got angry, it would not be impossible to directly puncture the window paper, but...

Zhuo Hua was suspicious: "So my second brother actually knew about this?".

Xie Junnan nodded.

Zhuo Hua gave a long sigh: "No wonder, when I looked at him from a distance, I always felt that he blushed a lot."

Xie Junnan couldn't help but laugh, he pinched Zhuohua's cheek.

Zhuohua frowned, and opened Xie Junnan's hand with a slap. Xie Junnan didn't care, but instead pinched Zhuohua's hand and held it: "Now Ziqing's marriage is half over, and the matter between you and me should be settled." brought up."

Zhuohua took a cool look at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Xie Junnan leaned close to Zhuo Hua's ear, and kissed lightly: "I will settle this matter thoroughly within two days at most."

Zhuohua's ears turned red in an instant, and he couldn't help but dodge to the side, but he hummed: "I don't want to talk to you".

Xie Junnan pursed his lips and smiled, seeing that Zhuohua hid far away like a quail at that moment, as if he was deeply afraid that he would really kill him in the carriage, the smile on Xie Junnan's mouth suddenly became stronger.

What's on the carriage... forget it, after all, Zhuohua's body still needs a good rest...
