Xie Ruzhuo looked amused and uncharacteristically reassured, "I was not careful yesterday and had nothing to do with my two brothers. It was just my fault that I bothered my grandma to worry about her."
Hearing this, Jiang Chengjun became embarrassed and said with a smile, "Actually, it's me who didn't take good care of you. Sister, are you in serious trouble?"
Xie Ruzhuo deliberately stretched out his arm, curled his eyes and smiled, "Do you think I'm in serious trouble?"
Seeing this, Jiang Chengjun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. In fact, I was worried all night last night. You're lucky to be fine now."
Not long after, Xie Ruyue also came after hearing the news. First she gave Jiang Chengye a gift, then looked at Jiang Chengjun with a smile and asked, "Little fat man, have you brought me something delicious?"
Jiang Chengjun sneered and said, "You are almost like a pig now, and you are still eating."
Xie Ruyue immediately waved her hand and said, "You are a pig, how can I compare to you!"
Jiang Chengye watched the two people pinching each other in amusement. When he turned his head, he saw that Xie Ruzhuo seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo came back to his senses, but he pulled Jiang Chengye back and asked in a low voice, "It was the third prince who saved me yesterday. Although I am fine, I am worried about him. Does my cousin know his current situation?" How's it going?"
Although Jiang Chengye is now working in the court, his position is not high, and it is not yet time to go to court, so when she said this, she really didn't know. But seeing Xie Ruzhuo's appearance, Jiang Chengye immediately comforted him, "Although I don't know, I can help you find out."
Xie Ruzhuo immediately thanked Jiang Chengye and said, "Thank you very much, cousin."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Chengjun suddenly hide behind her and snorted, "Xie Ruyue, I am a man who doesn't care about your little girl, you, don't do anything!"
Xie Ruyue sneered and said, "If you have the ability, don't hide. If a man dares to do something, why don't you dare to do it?"
But it turned out that while the two were talking, Jiang Chengjun actually took another bite of the lipstick that Xie Ruyue brought with him. The fat was made from peach blossoms. It was pink in color and tasted sweet. Jiang Chengjun accidentally took a bite and fell in love with the taste. When he was joking with Xie Ruyue just now, he accidentally saw that Xie Ruyue became more and more greedy, which made Xie Ruyue get angry.
Xie Ruzhuo sighed and said with a smile, "Second cousin, if you really like it, I will bring all the lipstick in the room to you later. It's just that the lipstick from the second sister's place was bought from outside. It's not made by my family, who knows what's in it, but I can't eat it."
When Jiang Chengjun heard this, his eyes widened immediately. He had just finished eating, and now he felt his throat was a little greasy. He rushed to the table and started gargling his mouth.
Xie Ruyue was still a little tempered, but when she saw him like this, she suddenly felt funny again, because she laughed and said, "I deserve it, but don't worry, I bought this lipstick from Yue Zhizhuang. It is said that all the female relatives in the capital are I like it, I think with such a good reputation, there won’t be any mess in it.”
As soon as she mentioned Yue Zhizhuang, Xie Ruzhuo immediately remembered something and asked, "Sister, did Yue Zhizhuang be bought on Chang'an Street in the south of the city?"
"Yes." Xie Ruyue chuckled, "So you know it too."
Xie Ruzhuo frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter, just sister, please use it sparingly in the future. If you have any bad intentions with the things produced by the Shen family, it will be too late."
As soon as she heard about the Shen family, Xie Ruyue immediately threw away the lipstick in her hand and said, "It turns out it belongs to her family. If she had known earlier, I wouldn't have used it for free." After saying that, she picked up the handkerchief and put it on her mouth. Wiped all the lipstick clean.
At this moment, I suddenly saw the girl Manao coming in a hurry, and said with a happy face, "Miss, King Dingnan and the Crown Prince are here!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruyue's face suddenly lit up with joy, and she became nervous again and said, "Come here, come and tell me what to do."
Xie Ruzhuo reacted quickly and said with a smile, "It should be someone who comes to propose marriage."
Agate smiled and said, "I don't know if it's a marriage proposal, but the matchmaker following behind her is holding a wild goose in her hand. I think she's here to accept the bride today."
Marriage has always had complicated etiquette, and King Dingnan respected Xie Shengli very much, so when he came today, he followed the etiquette and started with "accepting". Wild geese are used as a greeting gift. As long as the Xie family accepts the geese, it means accepting the proposal of marriage. Then there are asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, asking for dates, and welcoming in person, etc., collectively known as the six rites.
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo knew what King Dingnan meant, and encouraged him first, "Second sister, do you want to go over and have a look?"
Xie Ruyue patted her hand and said, "Bah, how can we move forward on our own? It's shameless. I'm going back to the room." After saying that, she slipped back to the yard with the agate.
Seeing her being so ashamed, Xie Ruyue shook her head and sighed, "Sure enough, my sister is too old to stay." As she said that, she remembered something again and said with a smile, "Yes, eldest cousin, what do you think of the daughter of the Jiang family? ?”
Jiang Chengye might as well have her suddenly mention him, and he coughed lightly and said, "Very good."
"Well, that's true. Qinglan got her haircut last year. I heard that Mrs. Jiang is looking for a suitable candidate for her daughter recently. I don't know whose son will be lucky enough to marry Qinglan." Xie Ruzhuo deliberately revealed this information. , seeing some changes in Jiang Chengye's expression, he said, "But I think Qing Lan seems to have someone in her heart, but she refused to tell me, cousin, who do you think this person could be."
She had a quirky look on her face. Why didn't Jiang Chengye understand that this girl was making fun of him? Jiang Chengjun, who was standing aside, was still joining in the fun and said, "Who she likes has nothing to do with us. She can't like my eldest brother after all, right?"
Xie Ruzhuo immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You really guessed it right. When did my second cousin become so smart?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chengjun's expression changed first and then, and then he sighed, "My dear, that girl from the Jiang family is famous for being fierce. If my brother marries her, won't he not be able to have a concubine?"
When Jiang Chengye heard what he said, he immediately slapped him on the head and said, "What did you say? When did you see me wanting a concubine?"
It was Xie Ruzhuo who flattered her first, "That's natural. My cousin's character is naturally trustworthy, otherwise Qinglan wouldn't like you. It's just my cousin, do you also like her?"
Jiang Chengye didn't answer and asked instead, "Zhuo'er, when did you start playing matchmaker?"
It was just the expression in his eyebrows that revealed his emotions.
Xie Ruzhuo snickered while covering her handkerchief, and then said sternly, "Cousin, there are flowers that need to be folded, and there are quite a few people from the Jiang family who come to propose marriage. You have to hurry up." After saying that, she went to Jiang Chengye. A slightly embarrassed expression slipped out, and he said, "The snacks in the kitchen may be ready, I'll go and take a look."
Jiang Chengye grabbed her first and said with a smile, "No need, it's not early to leave today, we have to go back."
Jiang Chengjun on the side also agreed, "Yes, we really should go back. There are guests at home at noon. Grandma specifically asked us to go back after seeing my sister."
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo could only sigh and said, "Okay, then I will send you off."
After sending the Jiang brothers away, Xie Ruzhuo remembered something again and walked towards Xie Ruyue's yard.
Unexpectedly, he met Xiao Xinyue within a few steps.
Today she was wearing a bright red jacket and a silver fox fur coat, revealing a delicate face with an oval shape, which was indescribable charm.
The person proposing marriage today was Dingnan Prince's Mansion, but Xiao Xinyue came here specifically to say thank you. After all, if Xie Ruyue hadn't come to her rescue yesterday, she would have killed the fifth prince.
When she saw Xie Ruzhuo, Xiao Xinyue suddenly smiled in surprise and said, "I saw a familiar person. I just followed the maid's directions and searched here for a long time, but I couldn't find your sister's residence."
Xie Ruzhuo first bowed and then said with a smile, "Princess, please come with me."
Xiao Xinyue touched her head sheepishly, and then followed Xie Ruzhuo's footsteps to Xie Ruyue's courtyard.
Xie Ruyue's yard is not big, and there are two plum trees planted in it. In this winter day, the red plum trees stand out against the snow, which is particularly noble.
Walking into the courtyard along the blue brick road, Xiao Xinyue sighed first, "Her courtyard is several times more beautiful than mine. It seems that my brother's vision is indeed right."
Xiao Xinyue's voice was not too quiet. Xie Ruyue had already heard it in the house. She came out first and said with a smile, "Why is the princess here?"
Xiao Xinyue tilted her head and smiled, "Is it possible that only my brother is allowed to come to propose marriage, and I am not allowed to visit?"
Her words immediately made Xie Ruyue blush, and she said angrily, "Who dares not to allow the princess to come? Please come in quickly."
The three of them smiled and entered. Pearl helped Xiao Xinyue hang up the silver fox cloak, but it turned out that Xiao Xinyue was still holding two boxes in her hands.
She raised the box in her hand and said with a smile, "Don't call me stingy. I came here with a gift specially." After saying that, Xiao Xinyue opened the box and saw two East Pearls inside. And a piece of coral stone.
Xie Ruyue thanked her, "Thank you very much, Princess, for your kindness. I'll come as soon as you come. I won't need any gifts in the future."
Xiao Xinyue said sincerely, "Actually, I came here today to express my gratitude. You must accept this gift no matter what."
Seeing her attitude change so much overnight, Xie Ruzhuo was still a little suspicious. He looked at Xie Ruyue, and the other person's eyes were full of doubts.
Seeing the two of them like this, Xiao Xinyue smiled and said, "Actually, I only found out yesterday that it was Mr. Xie who saved my father's life!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you say this?"
Xiao Xinyue stopped smiling and sighed, "Back when my father was unjustly imprisoned, a traitor took the opportunity to poison the food. It was Mr. The whole story. Later, although my father was exonerated, he was still disheartened and invited himself to go to southern Xinjiang. This trip lasted more than 20 years."
After she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room. Although Xie Ruzhuo had heard some speculative rumors in his previous life, saying that King Dingnan went to southern Xinjiang because of the failed rebellion, he never thought that the truth turned out to be like this!
No wonder King Dingnan paid so much attention to the daughter of the Xie family. It turned out that there was such a deep inside story.
Seeing that they were both silent, Xiao Xinyue smiled and said, "Lao Xie saved my father back then, and yesterday, sister, you saved me. It will be difficult for our family to repay the debt of gratitude to the Xie family in this life. But please rest assured, sister, in the future You have entered my Xiao family, and if anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first one not to spare her!"
Xie Ruyue was still digesting this shocking news, but when she suddenly heard her change the topic to a lifelong event, she suddenly blushed and said, "Where did the princess say this?"
