After returning to the Duke's Palace, Xi Jiu Er went to find the Wei Guogong absent-mindedly, but was told that he was engaged to Xiao Feng. The news shocked her so much that she couldn't hold himself back any longer, and immediately went to the study room.
The two people who were discussing on the desk turned their heads over at the same time and faced Xi Jiu Er, whose face was filled with anger. The two of them only paused for a moment, and then started to discuss the marriage together, when Xiao Feng said: "Xiao Feng has no parents to help him with, and is also a person of the past. Although my identity is crude, I do not wish to make the Princess Laifu suffer. "
"Hehe …" Don't even mention putting on an act, Jiu Er is my darling. Since you married her, you should treat her well. I do not seek to be rich or rich, I just need to live in peace. " Wei Guogong stroked his beard and laughed: "Marriage is a simple affair, but the process cannot be lacking."
"Yes, we will listen to whatever Prince Fu says." Xiao Feng was respectful, she was a man of exceptional beauty and elegance, so of course she would be liked by others if she showed a cultured and refined attitude. Xi Jiu Er stepped forward and interrupted: "You should at least ask me for my opinion on this matter."
"Since ancient times, it has always been the words of parents and matchmakers. Besides, you agreed to let me be the judge, did you forget? Hmph, I've already accepted the betrothal gift. The reason why Wei Guogong had such a businesslike face was because she wanted to tell Xi Jiu Er that there was no way to discuss this matter.
Xi Jiu Er gasped. When did she agree? Liu Shui came over and whispered a reminder, "That morning..."
Uh, that's what I said. Realizing the truth, Xi Jiu Er found a chair to sit on. Wei Guogong raised her eyebrows, which meant that she was trying to figure out what the hell she was doing here.
"I'll listen." Xi Jiu Er smiled innocently, "This has to do with my marriage, of course I have the right to listen and express my opinion."
"You, you, impudence, go back!" When the Wei Guogong heard Xi Jiu Er's words, he immediately scolded him. Her daughter was a virtuous and virtuous woman, a woman that was not to be trifled with. Yet, his granddaughter was acting like a lady from a noble family. She did a pretty good job, or at least acted quite well. However, when there was no one around, they would always be as cold as ice. Other than being filled with thoughts, they would speak without restraint.
My dear, this Xiao Feng is her future husband. How could he not put him in her eyes, and how could he put his face in front of an outsider? He was looking forward to taking care of this son-in-law in the future … In short, she did not put herself in the eyes of outsiders! But Qi!
Xi Jiu Er's heart was also filled with anger, why didn't she negotiate with her and accept the betrothal gift? Since she was getting married, why didn't he ask for her opinion?
"If you don't go back, I'll sit here." The evil fire in Xi Jiu Er's heart gushed out, and she posed in a very indecent manner: "Grandfather, didn't you say we should follow the instructions? Just carry me over to his house. "
"What nonsense is this?" Wei Guogong was angry, she was truly angry. Isn't it just a concubine? How could she lower himself so much? Did she not care about his reputation?
How could Xi Jiu Er not see that Wei Guogong was truly angry? She pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Feng, then said indifferently: "If there's anything we can discuss later, after talking for so long, I think Young Noble Feng is also thirsty, Liu Shui, bring Young Noble Feng out for some tea and snacks before coming back to discuss life's important matters." He deliberately emphasized the words' great affairs of life '.
How could Feng Qing Cheng not hear her voice? Elegant got up: "The princess understands me. She knows that I'm thirsty." After giving Xi Jiu Er a meaningful glance, Xi Jiu Er replied him with a smile that was not a smile.
"Of course, look at how virtuous and virtuous Jiu Er is. If I marry you in the future, I would definitely be able to serve you well." Wei Guogong immediately interrupted, these words really stunned Xi Jiu Er and Feng Qing Cheng. One did not believe that the other could do it, and one did not believe that she could do it.
When Feng Qing Cheng left, it was more accurate to say that once the study room closed, Wei Guogong's face 'swished' until it was longer than a donkey's face. Her face was even darker than the bottom of a pot of ash, and her eyes were a hundred times sharper than the blade. Other than Xi Jiu Er, there was still Xi Jiu Er in the study … No one was scared.
Xi Jiu Er looked at the table, seeing how the Wei Guogong was planning to make him agree with her thoughts, thus she completely ignored the existence of the Wei Guogong.
"Cough — —" Wei Guogong restrained her breathing and coughed awkwardly. "Jiu Er, just leave this matter to Grandfather. Grandfather will definitely marry you off with Ten Li Red Dress." make up for the debt he owed Wei Xi Er and Xi Jiu Er.
"Grandfather, what 'Ten Li red makeup' is just a form. If a husband and wife are happy with it, then it would be a joke. If he truly dotes on me, then even if I am alone, wearing a torn set of coarse clothes and married to him, I would still be like a jewel to him. This is what a true good husband is like. " Xi Jiu Er shook her head: "The husband that I want to marry is someone who cares and loves me wholeheartedly. He doesn't want to get close to me because of my identity, and he doesn't want to get close to me because of my beauty …"
"Grandfather, you said that Xiao Feng is a good person, and that Jiu Er wants to try to get along with him. However, if that person was not Jiu Er's good person, Jiu Er would not force herself to just sit and watch as it entered the room with the married woman from two to three company. After that, I will fight to the death with the concubinage s endlessly, and this kind of life is not what Jiu Er wants. "
Wei Guogong frowned: "Jiu Er, it's normal for a man to have three wives, four concubines. "If I don't marry you, I'll bear the burden of being jealous of you …"
"Grandfather!" Xi Jiu Er's voice slightly rose to interrupt the words that Wei Guogong was about to say, "What are you doing passing your days by closing the doors to others? Even if you were poor, there might not be people who would help you. If you were to live a good life, it would be the others who would come looking for you. "We're all laughing at the poverty of this world …"
The Wei Guogong was speechless. He was a martial general, and the deepest experience was that martial generals were never seen highly by scholars, and from time to time, she would ridicule them as' martial artists' or 'boorish men'. How could any martial artist write those poverty-stricken poems and draw those lousy paintings if they didn't? Humph, as long as the country is in trouble, push them out right now, and boast that they can raise their troops for a thousand days! Pui!
"Grandfather, is the happiness of your granddaughter more important, or is your reputation more important?"
Isn't this nonsense, of course it's Jiu Er's happiness that's the most important thing, reputation usually tire a person to death, living like neither a human nor a ghost, and it's only to be used when necessary.
"Since Grandfather thinks that Jiu Er's happiness is the most important thing, then let's simply carry me over."
"…"
Feng Qing Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, as though he was in a trance, a pigeon was writing a letter in his hand, a few of them revealing an even more rough and muddy road. It was unknown when Xi Jiu Er would stand in front of him.
"Cough..." Xi Jiu Er coughed lightly. "All of you can leave now. I have something to discuss with Young Master Feng."
The servants in the room quietly retreated.
Feng Qing Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly. Xi Jiu Er frowned and asked: "Why did you marry me?" This had always been a question that puzzled her. She and Feng Qing Cheng could be counted on one hand, but a woman's intuition, in addition to her usual fighting experience in the backyard, told herself that this man's marriage wasn't because he had feelings for her.
"If you give me your first place, you should be one of mine." Feng Qing Cheng looked Xi Jiu Er straight in the eyes: "So you're saying you're one of my men, and I won't allow my man to marry anyone else."
He had always been a gentle and refined man. When he said these words, he was exceptionally domineering and persistent, as if he was making an oath to her: Xi Jiu Er, you are mine.
Xi Jiu Er's cheeks burned slightly, and she pursed her slightly dry lips to make herself look as natural as possible: "Is it because of this reason? You don't like me? I don't like you either. We might not have a good ending together. "
Feng Qing Cheng laughed lightly, the smile in his eyes was extremely warm: "Why do you think I do not like you?"
The warmth in her eyes was like sweet honey that stuck to her throat. This was the first time Xi Jiu Er had this kind of feeling, it was very strange, it brought along a sour, sweet, and numb feeling that made her heart beat hard.
"What do you like about me?" The moment Xi Jiu Er opened his mouth, he felt like he was a fool, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. The moment Feng Qing Cheng was about to speak, she immediately interrupted him and said, "You don't have to say it, I don't want to know either." Don't know why that answer doesn't want to hear good or bad words... No, it was more accurate to say that he didn't dare to listen. At this moment — she was afraid, she didn't know what she was afraid of.
Seeing her awkward look, Feng Qing Cheng pretended not to know and smiled without saying a word.
"I have a request. If it's not appropriate for us to be together after marriage, or if I don't feel anything for you, I hope you can divorce me." Xi Jiu Er regained her normal appearance after a few breaths.
"I cannot agree to your request because... It's not like we're going to get married tomorrow. It's not suitable for us to be together, so I'll divorce you, right? " Feng Qing Cheng maintained her relaxed smile, with more darkness in her eyes, as if she was angry? Xi Jiu Er felt that it was normal to be angry, anyone who heard it would be angry.
"One year... "How to do it every year..." Xi Jiu Er clenched her teeth, half a year was too short, just one year had passed.
"One year?" Feng Qing Cheng slightly raised his brows, and laughed: "Wow!"
Did her eyes go blurry …? Was he sneering just now? What, what was he laughing at?
