Xia Youshi's eyes narrowed and she could hardly see the smile, and the corners of her mouth were grinning almost to her ears. She said to herself, if you see a beautiful woman with this kind of virtue, you are not marrying her
Xia Youshi cleared her throat and said calmly: "Ye Jinxuan, although you are married to Chunyu, it is not etiquette to do it without a matchmaker or betrothal. If it weren't for the fact that you once saved Chunyu's life, our Marquis Mansion would be I won’t admit this marriage.”
"Mother..." Xia Chunyu frowned, knowing that mother was snobbish, but could she not say it so bluntly
Xia Youshi glared at her son again and said angrily: "Why are you so anxious? Is what my mother said wrong?"
Ye Jiayao smiled slightly: "Auntie is absolutely right. I really thought Chunyu was a bandit at the beginning! He hit his head on a pillar and almost died. I also feel aggrieved that I married a bandit."
Xia You also wanted to show off as the hostess of the Hou Mansion and let Ye Jinxuan know her, but she didn't take advantage.
"Originally, we had to ask your elders to come over to discuss this matter, but I heard from Chunyu that you haven't decided yet whether to recognize that father, so we have the final say on this matter..."
Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "Auntie, it is true that elders should be invited to discuss marriage matters in order to be serious. Jinxuan's parents are confused, but Jinxuan's maternal grandfather's family is sensible, so it would be more appropriate to invite my uncle to discuss it."
Nonai didn't want to be troublesome at first, but what Xia You said was so unpleasant, so don't blame her for being troublesome.
Uh... Xia Chunyu is one and two heads tall, wasn't it already agreed upon? After the wedding date was set, I invited my uncle and the others to come. Why has it changed now
Xia Chunyu asked his father for help with his eyes.
Xia Zhuofeng also complained about Youshi's talkativeness and coughed twice: "It's just a ceremony. It's done when you feel it. Chunsu really likes you, and we also sincerely accept you. That... It will be a long night and a lot of dreams. It's better to settle it as soon as possible. As for you Grandma’s house, I will send someone to invite you when the time comes.”
"Thank you uncle for your consideration. Then Jinxuan will ask your uncle and aunt to make the decision." Ye Jiayao curtsied.
Fortunately, this father-in-law is sensible.
"Hmph, since Mr. Hou wants to make the decision, then Mr. Hou will make the decision. I have a headache, so I'm going to rest first." Xia Youshi left her seat with a cold face.
"Mother..." Xia Chunyu called anxiously. After finally getting through the emperor's test, mother came to hold him back again.
Xia Youshi walked away without looking back.
The old Marquis clicked his tongue, Youshi is too pretentious, you don't care, I do.
"Your mother and I looked through the almanac just now. The 26th of this month is a good day, and we have to wait until December. What do you think?" asked the old Marquis.
Xia Chunyu said hurriedly: "It's the twenty-sixth of this month, Jinxuan. It's a good day. I've seen it too."
Ye Jiayao smiled slightly and said softly: "You make the decision."
A big stone fell to Xia Chunyu's heart. He really wanted to get married today, and he still had to wait for more than ten days on the 26th!
"Since there is a ceremony, it cannot be shabby. It must be magnificent. I will carry the dowry thirty-six times and open thirty-six tables. But where will the sedan chair be received?" the old Marquis thought.
"Dad, don't worry about this. Helianxuan has discussed it with the ancestors of the Helian family. The ancestors recognize Jinxuan as their adopted granddaughter. When the time comes, the sedan chair will go to Prince Helian's mansion to welcome her." Xia Chunyu said.
The old Marquis slapped his thigh: "Okay, that boy He Lianxuan is getting better and better."
Ye Jiayao was surprised: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Xia Chunyu whispered: "Just be the bride, I will arrange the rest."
He arranged this arrangement with good intentions. Firstly, Yaoyao had such an important identity. Who dared to look down on her? Secondly, she and Xiaojing became siblings, so she completely gave up on Xiaojing's thoughts. Haha, I have to admire her. My own wisdom!
Ye Jiayao looked at the smile that unconsciously appeared on his lips, why did she feel so sinister!
The marriage was decided.
The two of them returned to their yard, and Ye Jiayao said angrily: "Will your mother show my face on the wedding day?"
Xia Chunyu frowned and said, "Then I can't blame you. I've told you that my mother has such a temper. You can just give in and get over it. You have to argue with her."
"You still blame me? If I don't raise my voice, won't I be looked down upon by her even more when I get in? Didn't you hear what she said?" Ye Jiayao retorted.
"Forget it, forget it, my mother is a face-saving person. Even if she has a problem with you, she won't show it in front of outsiders. Don't worry!" Xia Chunyu didn't want to quarrel with her. She was getting married and lived a good life.
Ye Jiayao said angrily: "You said you would help me, but instead you scolded me. I won't marry, so you can find someone else."
Xia Chunyu chuckled: "It's too late, the contract is signed."
"What do you get after signing the contract? At the very least, I don't want the free money. I will open a bigger restaurant by myself in the future. Hum, get down on your bed." Ye Jiayao said proudly.
The smile on Xia Chunyu's lips grew stronger. Please read the contract carefully before talking.
Seeing his treacherous look, Ye Jiayao had an ominous feeling in her heart. Is there a trap in this contract? Take it out and take a look.
Watch carefully from beginning to end, there are no traps!
"Look at the other side." Xia Chunyu sat down, crossed his legs and said casually.
The flip side? Ye Jiayao turned it over and looked, Damn, since when did you write something on the back? He used Shanxi rattan paper, and the ink was opaque. In the carriage last night, the light was dim, and she didn't notice it at all.
"No matter which party regrets, breaches the contract or proposes to terminate the contract early, it must compensate the other party for its losses, three times the agreed amount. Please note that the so-called three times refers to the share of two years and eight months and the market share of Tianshangju Restaurant Three times the total estimated value…”
Ye Jiayao calculated quickly. The lowest estimate of 50/50 for three years is 1.2 million, and three times it is 3.6 million. I don’t know how much Tianshangju’s valuation is, and I can’t get so much money even if I kill her!
Ye Jiayao was furious: "Xia Chunyu, you are trying to trick me."
The previous contract has become a pit, and before I can climb out, the pit has become a bottomless pit again.
Xia Chunyu said calmly: "How can this be said to be a trick on you? This treaty binds both parties. If I break the contract, I have to compensate, right?"
"Xia Chunyu, you bastard." Ye Jiayao scolded angrily.
"Shh..." Xia Chunyu put his index finger to his lips and shushed: "Don't be so loud, keep reading."
Ye Jiayao could not wait to slap this annoying guy and send him flying thousands of miles away. He continued to look down angrily.
"As the second young mistress of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, the future hostess must strictly abide by the house rules and women's ethics. If there is any violation, one month of Tianshangju's profit share will be deducted for each violation..."
"Well, these are our family rules. Take a good look at them when you have time. Don't get deducted money for nothing." Xia Chunyu handed over a pamphlet with a smile and wrote... Xia's family rules.
"Today, I will tell you something first. As a woman in the Hou family, you are not allowed to insult your husband, whether in private or in public. You violated the family rules just now. However, this is the first time, I will forgive you and you will not do it again. "
I choked her. Ye Jiayao wanted to look up to the sky and bleed, bleed, and pierce her own eyes. She didn't even notice such a huge pit, and she was still cracking her fingers and following her in a smart way. He was talking about one, two, three, and four, but he didn't write down one, two, three, and four, and so many restrictions on her suddenly appeared.
Ye Jiayao, you are just a pig, a big idiot. Ye Jiayao banged her head on the table. She felt angina pectoris and wanted to hang herself...
"I don't want to live anymore. You might as well kill me with a knife..."
"Yao Yao, how could I kill you! I can't bear to let you go, you are my wife." Xia Chunyu comforted her while holding back her laughter.
Ye Jiayao stopped banging her head, raised her eyes and said angrily: "You are a living bandit."
Xia Chunyu said seriously: "The second time, it's just three things. If you curse again, I will deduct the money as stipulated in the contract."
Ye Jiayao lowered her head weakly and knocked it heavily on the table.
Go to hell, go to hell... Pig's head doesn't deserve to live in this world.
He was plotted against and a ruthless trick was put on him.
Xia Chunyu said in frustration: "There is one more thing. If any party leaks the contract, they will be compensated five times the price."
Ye Jiayao was completely dead.
She can't play this conspirator, he's too ruthless.
It is a tragedy to die before leaving the army...
"Come on, let's talk about it. Who do you want to invite to the wedding banquet? Who are they so I can write a post." Xia Chunyu felt extremely happy and picked up the pen and said enthusiastically.
Ye Jiayao was trapped in grief and anger, unable to extricate herself, and her vitality was severely damaged.
"Let's do this. For the wedding banquet in the Marquis Mansion, invite everyone from your maternal grandfather's family, preferably all of them. Needless to say, the Helian family. As members of the woman's family, they must be present. Qi Xuan and Su Su must also be invited. As for Uncle Jiang’s family and your friends from Tianshangju, we will invite a few more tables at Tianshangju when the time comes, Yaoyao, what do you think?”
It doesn’t matter who you invite.
"One more thing, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang and Yue'er, I'm going to invite them to the house. If Yue'er is close to you, let her serve you."
"Don't talk about serving me, I think she is my sister!" Ye Jiayao said.
"Then I'll stay with you. There must be someone by your side that you can absolutely trust." Xia Chunyu said.
"What about A Li?" Ye Jiayao asked sadly.
"Jiang Li, I plan to let him go to the Manufacturing Supervision Bureau of the Military Department. His skills are as good as Uncle Jiang's. He is proficient in hidden weapons and can be put to great use. I have already told him, and he is willing to do so."
This is a good place where his talents can be fully displayed.
He was so considerate for everyone else, yet so harsh on her, it was all a trick to her. Today in front of the emperor, he was risking his life at all costs. She almost believed that he really liked her, but it seemed that he was just being sentimental.
Thinking of those unfair overlord terms, Ye Jiayao started banging her head again in frustration.
"Okay, stop bumping. If you bump like this, the marble tabletop will be smashed by you." Xia Chunyu finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped her. He touched her red forehead and saw the love in his eyes. He showed it unconsciously and said softly: "You fool, don't you know it hurts?"
Ye Jiayao pushed him away: "You've already stabbed me in the heart with a knife, don't be pretentious."
Xia Chunyu pretended to be surprised: "Where did I insert the knife into your heart? Let me see if there is any bleeding?" He went to touch her chest.
