Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 32

Jinze stared at her blankly, a little absent-minded. The brilliance in Yingxiu's eyes was something he had never seen before. He still remembered that the year after his little aunt died, he followed his mother to Shen's residence to visit Yingxiu. The cowardly girl has grown up now, and even he can't take care of that change.

"How about the second young master of the Qi family?" Jin Ze asked casually, not forgetting his friend's entrustment.

"Why does cousin help him like this?" Yingxiu heard the person he wanted to talk about in the previous words, and gave gifts in the name of Jinze over and over again, which shows that their relationship is very good. Jinze saw her looking at her. There was a flash of Hao Ran in his eyes and face, this kind of matchmaking is really not so easy to do.

"I've known Brother Qi for many years, and I've never seen him put so much heart into someone." Jin Ze's throat was a little dry when she stared at him, and he sighed silently.

Yingxiu poured him some tea with a sullen smile, and Jinze took a few sips before feeling better, and said seriously, "Brother Qi already mentioned this matter a year ago, and I went to your place only at the beginning of the year I want you to come to Qiao's mansion to participate in the Spring Festival. The lake tour was suggested by brother Qi, and he feels very guilty for causing you to fall into the water. He has seen all the cousins ​​he has done in the past year. I once said , if Xiu'er is not willing at all, I won't help even if you are a real brother."

Yingxiu was startled, the lake tour was also arranged by Qi Haoming. In her previous life, she just didn't agree to her cousin's coming to Qiao's mansion, so she missed that encounter. The meeting, let alone the conversation with her cousin today, at this time in the previous life, she was quietly staying in Shen's residence, preparing to marry the third young master Jiang.

Yingxiu's hand holding the cup was trembling, "Then, when did he start talking about it with you, cousin?"

"It should be that you attended the poetry meeting in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion. Did you meet him at that time?" Jinze was also surprised that the two people who had never met would not be so interested in meeting just because of a one-time meeting, but Qi Hao Ming made him feel so serious.

Yingxiu shook her head, she didn't notice Qi Haoming was there during the poetry meeting, but if you talk about the beginning of this fate, it should be ten years ago.

"Xiu'er, if you don't want to, don't feel embarrassed. In fact, I still doubt whether it is right for me to do so. I am even more afraid that I will hurt you." Qiao Jinze was under great pressure. The matter made him very disappointed with Shen Heye, his uncle. If they were to advocate Yingxiu's marriage, it would definitely not be much better.

But Qiao's family is a foreigner's family after all, and Yingxiu has her parents, it is impossible for Mrs. Qiao and Mr. Qiao to take over this matter. No matter how much this family loves Yingxiu, there are some things that cannot be interfered with. Qi Hao Ming's appearance and suggestion just gave Qiao Jinze another choice. He didn't think this kind of method was inferior. Marrying a wife and seeking talents, Qi Haoming's low-key and unassuming way of proceeding won his appreciation, and he has been friends for many years. He can still trust Qi Haoming's behavior.

If it weren't for Qi Haoming's initiative to ask for marriage, Shen Heye would never have married Yingxiu into the Nanyang Marquis. Qiao Jinze had his own selfish intentions, and with Qi Haoming's status, even if he was inconvenient, the Shen family would be too high-handed. Well, besides, the leg is not really bad.

"Cousin don't say that, I know you're doing it for my own good." After a moment of silence, Yingxiu put down her cup and smiled at Jinze, "Cousin don't have to feel sorry for me, it's just that this marriage is not a big deal. Xiu'er can be the master."

At night, Yingxiu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. All she could think about was the events of those years in the Hou Mansion. She remembered very clearly that Qi Haoming was not married until the day she died. She was 21 and Qi Haoming was 24 that year. She didn't know the reason. As a sister-in-law, she also had to think about her brother-in-law's marriage. Every time she proposed, Qi Haoming declined with a smile. Later, she was too sick to get out of bed, so she didn't care about it.

If Qi Haoming hadn't reminded her, Yingxiu wouldn't have recalled those memories of her childhood in the two lifetimes combined, but he always remembered that watching him get engaged, his fiancé die, marry Qi Haocheng, and die young in the end, if he Really sentient, isn't it the same pain?

Good luck tricks people.

Yingxiu was very disturbed, got up from the bed, opened the curtain, picked up the coat on the chair outside the bed and opened the door, Baoqin who was watching the night woke up suddenly, "Miss, what are you doing so late? Come out, I'll get you a thick cloak."

Yingxiu pulled her back and said softly, "It's not cold, sit with me for a while." Taking a peek around the corridor, Yingxiu took the piano and stepped over the handrail in the corridor, leaning on the pillar and sitting on the railing superior.

Baoqin had never seen her young lady do such an outrageous thing, before she had time to react, she was dragged by Yingxiu and stepped over on tiptoe.

"Miss, it's too dangerous. Let's sit in the yard for a while?" Baoqin sat on the railing, she had to stand on her tiptoes to touch the little bit of the ground that extended outwards, and she felt swaying with every movement. very.

"Hush~" Yingxiu hugged the pillar with one hand, and held the piano steady with the other, "What are you afraid of, I wanted to do this a long time ago." Yingxiu's tone was childish, with her feet hanging in the air In the middle, dangling playfully.

Holding the piano in a daze, Yingxiu turned her head to look at her, blinked, and said in a low voice, "No one is allowed to tell, do you want to keep it secret?"

Yingxiu, who turned around, didn't see the tears welling up in Baoqin's eyes, only heard the girl give a big thank you, with a flower-like smile blooming on her face, and she looked at the bright moon in the sky with her, this is her and Miss Secret.

I don't know how long I sat there, but Yingxiu only felt a little numbness under her buttocks. When she turned her head to look again, the girl holding the piano was already sleeping soundly while hugging the pillar next to her. tiptoes, looked up at the full moon gradually hiding in the clouds.

The night wind was blowing gently, and her disturbed heart gradually calmed down. She and Qi Haosheng would no longer have a marriage relationship. His marriage to Zhuge Yuxin had already been decided. Didn't she do all this to avoid the Jiang family's attention? Marriage, to avoid being dragged to marry Qi Haocheng at the age of 16, so she doesn't need to be afraid, she doesn't need to worry that Qi Haosheng will wake up one morning and force herself to marry him because she is somewhat similar to Liu Xuer, and she doesn't need to worry about it. You don't need to worry about wasting the best years of your life for a sick child by guarding your wedding dress...

The sky gradually turned pale, Qiao Shiya's yard was brightly lit, according to the time she needed to get up to take a bath and change clothes, Yingxiu quietly woke up Baoqin, asked her to prepare hot water, washed and changed her clothes, Yingxiu went Qiao Shiya's yard.

Qiao Shiya just took a shower, dried her hair, put on the underwear of her wedding dress, and sat there waiting for Grandma Quanfu to come in. When she saw Yingxiu standing at the door, she beckoned her to come over, pouted with reluctance, "I have to get up early in the morning, I didn't sleep well last night."

"What are you talking about, you are not taboo at all on the day of great joy!" Mrs. Qiao Er walked in, heard her complaining and reprimanded lightly, Yingxiu looked at Shiya's grievance, smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "It's just like this once in a lifetime, marry me and let my second cousin comfort you." Yingxiu whispered the second half of the sentence close to her ear.

Shi Ya blushed, and grabbed her cuffs to refute, but Mrs. Qiao stared back.

Not long after, Mrs. Shao, who lives next door, came to her rescue. Seeing Shiya sitting obediently in front of the dressing table, she smiled and praised, "Hey, whose little lady is this, so beautiful~"

Yingxiu walked sideways to the outer hall, Mrs. Shao was invited by Qiao's family to be Quanfu's grandma to comb Shiya's hair. Under the jumping firelight, Yingxiu saw Mrs. Shao lovingly following Shiya's long hair, fingers Stick to a comb.

When she got married back then, the same words sounded in her mind: "One comb to the end, two combs until the white hair is even with the eyebrows, three combs until the children and grandchildren are all over the ground, and four combs until the four silver shoots are all neat."

When he came back to his senses, his eyes were sore for a while.

At dawn, Shiya put on her wedding dress and sat on the bed. Mrs. Qiao Er held a plate in her hand, which contained a plate of fish, a plate of meat, and a bowl of white rice.

Yingxiu stood in the corridor outside the house, and there was a poetic low cry from inside the room, and the Second Madam persuaded her. After a while, the Second Madam came out, her eyes were red as if she had just cried, "Xiuer Ah, you go in and talk to your cousin."

Yingxiu walked in in response, Qiao Shiya was covering her eyes with a handkerchief, her eyes were a little red, Yingxiu sat down on the stool next to her, took her hand and smiled, "Don't cry, cry again It's not pretty anymore."

Qiao Shiya took a sniff and looked up at Yingxiu, reaching out to touch her bruised eyes, "Xiuer, I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of? Second cousin brother-in-law wants to marry you so much, he will definitely treat you well."

"But, I've only met his mother a few times, and his sister-in-law, Xiu'er. What if I can't do well? Will he dislike me?" Shiya looked at Yingxiu aggrievedly. She said a lot of things that she couldn't absorb for a while. If she couldn't do well and the people in Shangguan's general's mansion didn't like her, what should I do.

"Don't think about it, how could the second cousin not like you, he is eaten to death by you, if he dares to bully you, you beat him!" Yingxiu pretended to wave her fist, Shiya was amused, Looking at her with tears and smiles, "Xiuer, you've learned badly!"

Seeing that she finally smiled, Yingxiu was relieved a lot, took her hand and comforted her, "Okay, don't worry about those who have something or nothing, you are not the one who is in charge after marriage, as long as you are obedient and not out of line You don't need to try to please them deliberately, but you can't lack the courtesy you deserve, and the most important thing is to be nice to your second cousin, so that you can be of one mind as husband and wife."

"It sounds like you've been married before." Shi Ya squeezed Yingxiu's face and muttered.

Yingxiu's face changed slightly, and then she laughed and cursed, "Didn't I listen to your aunt's education, I remembered that you still don't know!"

Shi Ya smiled resentfully, she didn't know what she thought of, her face was flushed red again.

Suddenly, firecrackers sounded outside Qiao's mansion, and after a while, Shiya's personal servant girl ran over and announced breathlessly, "Miss, aunt...my aunt's sedan chair has arrived."

Shiya suddenly became nervous again, and hurriedly picked up the red silk cover on the side and threw it on her head. After a while, she felt that she hadn't put it on properly. He said pitifully, "What to do, I'm still nervous."

Yingxiu picked up an apple from the fruit plate on the side and stuffed it into her hand, "Here, cover it up, I'll go out first."

Not long after, Mrs. Qiao came here with a group of female relatives. Mrs. Qiao opened the curtain and looked inside, and said to the people sitting in the hall with a smile, "Oh, we don't need your help. , this girl brought the red silk up by herself."

Mrs. Qiao smiled the happiest, "This girl, I'm in a hurry to get married!" After saying that, she patted Yingxiu's hand sitting beside her, "Next year it's our turn to embroider girls, come one by one!"

There was constant laughter here, but at the gate of Qiao's mansion over there, Shangguan Ling was blocked miserably. The most people in the Qiao's family were men, and Qiao Shiya's eldest brother was still a practicing family. The people who flirted with my sister were very upset, and today they finally seized the opportunity, trying to figure out a way to prevent them from entering.

The matchmaker is in a hurry, if Nao Gui Nao misses the hour, it will be broken, and when the time comes to get on the bridal sedan chair, she will have to go around the capital, and it will be bad if she misses the hour of worship.

Then Master Qiao came out, Shangguan Ling was able to enter smoothly, and was stopped outside Qiao Shiya's yard again, Qiao Jinhong came out to the gate with his sister on his back, got up the sedan chair, and Yingxiu looked at the The sedan chair slowly moved away from my sight, and the second uncle took a basin of water and poured it towards the sedan chair...
