Xu Jing lowered her head in disappointment, Xu Lu asked puzzledly, "Why not?"
Princess Rongyang said: "It's because I have a good relationship with your aunt that I can't say that."
Seeing Xu Lu's eyes full of doubts, Princess Rongyang sighed and said slowly: "If you and Sister Han are in love, I will definitely mention this kiss, but now Sister Han has already told you I don’t want to marry you, how can you let your mother say this? If I really go to tell you, wouldn’t your aunt be embarrassed?”
But Xu Lu said: "What's so embarrassing? When I was young, didn't my aunt and mother always say that they would marry my brother and cousin? My aunt likes my brother. Besides, since ancient times, it has been the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. Even if my cousin falls in love with someone else, that person may not be approved by my uncle and aunt! Mother, if you don’t try it, how will you know? What if my aunt disagrees with the marriage between my cousin and that person?”
"Sister Lu!" Princess Rong Yang's voice became louder, and she scolded, "Why are you so ignorant?"
Xu Lu was really taken aback by Princess Rongyang's loud shout. Princess Rongyang loved her very much since she was a child, and she never scolded her loudly. , she complained with tears in her eyes: "Since you were young, you only knew to protect your cousin! Uncles and aunts are like this, and even you are partial! Other things are fine, this is a major event related to my brother's life, why can't you How about helping my brother? You always tell me that if my cousin likes other people, my brother can’t bother me, but have you ever thought about it? What’s wrong with my brother liking my cousin? My cousin can pursue her own happiness, so why must my brother let go? Right?"
Princess Rongyang was taken aback by Xu Lu's question. In fact, Xu Lu's words were not unreasonable. Looking at the gloomy eyes in Xu Jing's eyes at this time, Princess Rongyang also couldn't bear it. It is true that she knew that she was right to persuade Xu Jing, but in the hearts of the two children, she might really feel that she was partial to Chu Han.
After thinking about it, Princess Rongyang sighed in her heart, made a decision in an instant, and then said: "Don't drink this wine, you should have a good rest, I will find a good day to take you with me in a few days Go to the door to propose marriage, but no matter whether this time succeeds or not, you are not allowed to do this again, understand?"
Seeing the joy in Xu Jing's eyes, Princess Rong Yang sighed again in her heart. If it doesn't work this time... I'm afraid there will only be two results. One is Xu Jing giving up on this, and the second is... I'm afraid it's his. The state is even worse than it is now.
That's all, if it doesn't break, she will make it hard this time. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Even if Xu Jing can't get out, she just needs to persuade them slowly. The children's life is still long, and this matter is just an episode. .
Xu Lu showed a satisfied smile: "Brother, why don't you thank mother soon?"
Xu Jing really smiled: "Son, thank you mother."
He wanted to get up and bow to Princess Rongyang, but he was so drunk that he tried hard for a long time but couldn't stand up.
Princess Rongyang stopped him, pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down: "Okay, you should have a good rest, don't drink this wine."
"Yes." Xu Jing smiled, and those dull eyes suddenly became bright again.
Xu Lu could tell that her brother really liked her cousin, but when she thought of Chu Han's attitude towards her that day, Xu Lu felt depressed for a while. It's just that she was depressed, she couldn't bear to watch her brother go on like this.
Princess Rongyang gave Xu Jing a few more instructions, and immediately called the servant girl to come in and clear out all the wine jars in Xu Jing's room, and Xu Jing was also helped by the servant to take a bath and change clothes.
Princess Rongyang led Xu Lu back to her yard, letting Xu Jing take a good rest.
And Xu Jing took another dose of calming soup after taking a bath, and soon fell asleep. This sleep lasted for a day and a night, and he didn't wake up until the next afternoon. Thinking of what her mother had promised her yesterday, Xu Jing immediately got up and took out the jade pendant he asked for from Chu Han with somewhat vain steps, and stroked it carefully like a treasure.
No wonder people say that alcoholism hurts the body, but he just drank in the house for three days, and today he feels uncomfortable in every part of his body and has no strength at all.
Helpless, Xu Jing rested all night after eating, and her body felt better.
The next morning, he shaved the stubble that had grown in the past few days, washed himself carefully, and when he went out again, he was refreshed. Apart from losing some weight, he still looked like the handsome and handsome boy. .
Xu Jing first went to invite Princess Rongyang to admit his mistake. After learning that Princess Rongyang would bring him to propose marriage in a few days, he felt a burst of joy in his heart. After leaving from Princess Rongyang, he immediately So I went to Jinxiufang—I wanted to find a better jewelry, and if their marriage could be settled, he would give it to her.
Xu Jing rode his horse to Jinxiufang, but he didn't expect to see the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion at the door.
Is it aunt or cousin
Xu Jing's heart moved, he stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then entered the gate of Jinxiufang, and went straight to the second floor.
Walking on the stairs, Xu Jing already had an idea in his mind, what would he do if the person here was his cousin, and what would he do if his aunt was here.
It's just that when he went up to the second floor, he didn't expect that the first person he saw was Xing Minzhi.
Xing Minzhi was standing at the turn of the stairs, holding a red gold hairpin and looking at it.
Xu Jing bowed at that time and said, "I've seen Uncle."
"En." Xing Minzhi looked back when he heard the words, and when he saw Xu Jing, he replied lightly, and asked politely: "Why are you idle today?"
Just as Xu Jing was about to answer, he suddenly caught sight of something Xing Minzhi was wearing from the corner of his eye, and his eyes shrank.
Although the stitches were much finer than before, judging from the familiar stitching method and the panda lying next to the bamboo... this purse was definitely embroidered by Chu Han, and he would not admit his mistake.
It would be fine if that was the case, but unfortunately, the rope that tied the purse was tied with a concentric knot.
concentric knot.
Xu Jing's heart was shocked, he pursed his lips and said: "I have nothing to do, just stroll around."
The voice was much lower than before.
As soon as the voice on this side fell, Chu Han's soft and sticky voice sounded over there: "Uncle, come quickly and see if this looks good?"
"Here we come." Xing Minzhi responded, nodded slightly to Xu Jing, then turned and walked in the direction where Chu Han was.
Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, but clenched her fists and followed closely.
