Jiang Rui went back to the room for a while, but was woken up by the servant, and the old lady Wang wanted to talk to her.
She changed into a new goose-yellow cheongsam. Because of the hot weather, her clothes were sleeveless, and her two white arms were exposed.
The old lady is old-fashioned and old-fashioned. In the past, when she saw Pan Susu in such a dress, she always had to say a word or two. Today, not only did she not say a word, but she held her hand, unable to hide her joy, and said, "Xiao Qi, mother will remember it for the rest of her life. your kindness."
Jiang Rui hurriedly said: "Don't say such words, you will be a fool."
"I know you are a good boy. It is thanks to you that Chang Yao can wake up this time. You will be our serious wife in the future. I am old, and the family affairs will be handed over to Chang Yao and you sooner or later." Wang said.
Jiang Rui pursed her lips and hesitated.
When Wang Shi saw it, he said, "If you have something to say, do you have any scruples about talking to your mother?"
"Mother, I want to go to school, okay?" Jiang Rui asked.
Pan Susu is a student of Fengcheng Women's University. After the summer vacation starts, she will be in the third grade. Jiang Rui knew that Wang's intention was for her to be the housekeeper, but instead of staying at home all day, she was more willing to go outside, which was more in line with Pan Susu's temperament.
Wang Shi pondered, and finally agreed. Originally, when Xiao Qi and Chang Yao got married, she forced her to ask for anything. But she also raised her opinion, "Let's live at home in the future, don't live in any dormitory."
"Okay." Jiang Rui nodded, living at home was convenient for her to contact Huo Changyao.
After leaving Wang's residence, Jiang Rui walked in the garden.
Huo Mansion has two bungalows, one is in the front and the other is in the back. The Wang family likes to be quiet. After the boss passed away, she moved to the back, and Pan Susu and Huo Changyao both lived in the front.
A while ago, Huo Changyao was in a coma, and the atmosphere at home was low and uneasy. Even the servants walked and talked with depression. Today he woke up, and the whole mansion was light and happy.
Several young servants were talking and laughing. When they saw Jiang Rui, they first called Miss Seven, and then they reacted, and they all changed their words and called Mrs. They were very uncomfortable with this change.
Jiang Rui passed them by mistake, and after walking ten steps, she could still hear the whispers behind her.
She ignored it, went back to the front, and was about to go upstairs, when a person came down the stairs, "Little Seven."
"Sixth brother." Jiang Rui smiled at him.
The person who was walking towards her was named Xu Hansheng. Like Pan Susu, he was the adopted child of the Huo family, and now he was Huo Changyao's deputy.
Xu Han grew up to be gentle. He didn't look like a soldier, but a scholar with a pen. He was also very gentle. He frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Rui worriedly.
They were both adopted, and they were close in age. They had a good relationship since childhood. He was the only one who knew Pan Susu's intentions. Because Huo Changyao was injured, he had been stabilizing the situation in the army a while ago. Today, when he learned that he was sober, he rushed over in a hurry, but heard the news of Pan Susu and Huo Changyao getting married. Xu Hansheng's surprise was no less than that of Huo Changyao who had just woken up.
"You and Big Brother..." He didn't know what to say.
Jiang Rui seemed to be reluctant to talk about this issue, and said with a smile, "eldest brother wakes up, sixth brother will be able to relax a little more, you are so busy that you don't have time to shave your beard, you are ugly as an old man."
Seeing this, Xu Hansheng had to cooperate with a wry smile and said, "No, when the big brother recovers, I have to ask him for a long vacation."
"Is eldest brother asleep now?" Jiang Rui asked.
"No, I think he's in good spirits."
Although Huo Changyao was awake, he had lost a lot of blood before, and had fallen asleep for a long time, and his physical strength was weak. The old lady loved her son so much that she wanted him to lie down and not get up.
Jiang Rui nodded and gave way to the side, "Sixth brother, let's go to work first, come back to eat together when you have time."
Xu Hansheng did have a lot of things to do. Although he wanted to have a good talk with her, he didn't have time right now, so he could only leave in a hurry.
In the main building on the second floor, Huo Changyao was leaning against the bedside to read the military newspaper. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a figure passing by the door. He didn't pay attention at first, but he quickly thought of something and said, "Xiao Qi."
Jiang Rui had already walked a few steps away, and when she heard this, she slowly retreated: "Brother."
Huo Changyao nodded on the chair beside the bed, "Sit down, eldest brother has something to tell you."
There are many brothers and sisters in the Huo family, but Pan Susu and Huo Changyao are the least close. He has neither the humor and wit of the second child, nor the gentleness and thoughtfulness of the sixth. Unsmiling, with such a character, when the little girl sees it, she will naturally hide to the side.
Pan Susu is lively and playful in front of others, and when he is in front of him, she is as honest as a quail.
Jiang Rui sat down properly, with her hands on her knees.
Huo Changyao closed the document and turned to look at her, with a hint of guilt in his words: "Mother did not do this properly, I wronged you, eldest brother apologizes to you on her behalf."
Jiang Rui's eyes were sour, and she quickly shook her head.
Huo Changyao added: "Mother was frightened this time, I'm afraid she won't change her mind easily, so eldest brother needs you to cooperate for a while, and after the matter is over, it's up to you to decide what to do. In the future, you will have someone you like, eldest brother. I will explain it clearly to him, can you see it?"
He has always been strong, except in front of the old lady, when has he spoken to someone in this tone? This time, I really feel guilty. After all, fame is not a trivial matter for women.
If the real Pan Susu was here, she would feel more at ease when she heard these words. The worry between Jiang Rui's brows and eyes immediately dissipated a lot, and she quickly said, "Yes, as long as eldest brother can get better soon, I don't care."
Huo Changyao nodded: "It was hard work last night, go back and have a good rest."
"Brother should also have a good rest." Jiang Rui said.
Although according to Huo Changyao's words, after this period of time, the old lady will let go and let her decide whether to dissolve the marriage, but Jiang Rui feels that he underestimated Wang's determination.
Sure enough, the problem came when I was resting at night.
Wang actually went to the building in front of him and watched someone move Jiang Rui's belongings into Huo Changyao's room. She now believes very much in what the Taoist priest said, lest two people sleep in separate rooms, they are not a real couple, and they must rest together.
Huo Changyao refused, and she began to wipe her tears and said something to be taken away by the King of Hell with him.
People who have always been strong, once weeping, others will feel even more sad when they see it, not to mention that Huo Changyao is still her son, and finally has to agree.
The rest quickly left, and Jiang Rui stood there at a loss.
"Brother, I'll sneak back to the room later." She whispered to Huo Changyao.
Huo Changyao frowned slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, I will persuade my mother tomorrow."
The two sat dryly in the room for a while, and when there was no movement outside, Jiang Rui quietly opened the door, and as soon as she stuck her head out, she immediately retracted her face, and said with a sullen face, "Brother, mother, let me keep you outside."
Huo Changyao sighed secretly, propped up his body and prepared to get out of bed, "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry you sleep here tonight, I'll sleep on the sofa."
Jiang Rui quickly stopped him, "Let me sleep on the sofa."
"no."
"But, brother, your body..."
"It's okay, take a quilt from the cabinet and put it on the sofa for eldest brother."
Jiang Rui hesitantly glanced at the sofa that was not long enough for her, pursed her lips for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Brother, otherwise you should go to bed too."
Huo Changyao categorically refused: "Xiao Qi, you don't need to persuade me any more, I won't agree."
It was an expedient measure for the two to get married. If they were to share the same bed again, what face would he have to say as a last resort
In the end, the two of them slept in one bed and the other on the sofa. Huo Changyao's tall body lay on the sofa without making much movement. But Jiang Rui knew that he didn't fall asleep much.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Huo Changyao fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up not long after.
Jiang Rui whispered in his ear: "Big brother, big brother... Go to bed, I'm up."
Huo Changyao opened his eyes and looked at the sky, it was still very early, but Jiang Rui was already dressed, apparently to get up early to make a seat for him.
"You sleep a little longer," he said.
Jiang Rui said: "I'm not sleepy, I can't lie down. And my mother may come to visit later. If she sees eldest brother sleeping on the sofa, she will be unhappy."
Only then did Huo Changyao get up, and Jiang Rui helped him to lie down on the bed. It was the bed he was used to sleeping in, but at this time, the bed was carrying other people's body temperature, and the tip of his nose had a faint fragrance, which made him feel uncomfortable for some reason.
