Gu Xueer's marriage was settled like this. "≤, Master Ji Er beat someone and called Huo Erlang's family to come. Huo Erlang's family was very willing to do this marriage. The Ji family did not need the Huo family to give a dowry, and would also give a lot of things. Because of this marriage, the Huo family became relatives with the Ji family from then on. This was really a good thing that fell from the sky for the Huo family.

As for Gu Xueer herself, she is just about age and is not ugly, and the Huo family has nothing to choose from.

Old Mrs. Ji also called Huo Erlang to Xuanhua Hall and looked at him carefully in front of him. Old Mrs. Ji was also very satisfied with Huo Erlang. The young man was not old, had a spirit, and his words and behavior were very stable.

Even when Mr. Gu is here, he can arrange marriages for Gu Xueer, and the Huo family is also a good choice.

After being satisfied with the two attempts, Mrs. Ji Er took her people to start preparing.

What Mrs. Ji said in person is good enough for Gu Xueer to have a generous dowry, but the marriage does not need to be handled extravagantly, but it is easier to handle.

The Ji family was organizing a marriage for Gu Xueer, and an old lady took Gu Xueer to do needles and threads in her house every day to learn how to be someone else's wife.

During this period, Mrs. Ji specially called Gu Xueer to her and showed Gu Xueer her dowry list. Gu Xueer only recognized a few words, so Mrs. Ji asked someone to read all the dowry list to Gu Xueer.

Even if Mr. Gu is still here, he will not prepare such a generous dowry for Gu Xueer.

Gu Xueer seemed to be moved by the generous dowry, and she accepted her life from then on, and never said anything to complain. She returned to her previous attitude towards Mrs. Ji, Ji Xiaoyun, Ji Xiaotang and others.

Submissive and flattering are a bit exaggerated.

Old Mrs. Ji just thought it was Gu Xueer who finally understood the truth and felt very comforted.

The wedding date of Gu Xueer and Huo Erlang is scheduled for the sixth day of the second month.

As February begins, the weather gradually warms up.

The weather is sunny this day, and Ji Xiaotang has nothing to do in his spare time, so he feeds parrots and starlings under the corridor while basking in the sun.

Madam Cheng walked in from outside the yard and saluted to Ji Xiaotang. She just followed Ji Xiaotang's instructions and went to Old Lady Ji. Gu Xueer's wedding date was approaching, and all the dowry was settled, and Mrs. Ji Second came to beat someone. She asked Madam Cheng to help take a look, and Ji Xiaotang beat Madam Cheng.

"How is it?" Ji Xiaotang asked, and it was naturally a matter of dowry.

"...The second wife was prepared very well, and there was nothing that was not in line with the customs here. The old lady was very happy." Madam Cheng probably told Ji Xiaotang about the situation in Xuanhuatang.

Ji Xiaotang nodded and said yes.

"Grandmother is happy. Where is Gu Xueer?" Ji Xiaotang finished feeding the parrot and the starlings, and slowly combed the feathers of a green-haired parrot.

"I'm happy to see... I'm also happy." Madam Cheng paused for a moment before she said with a smile.

"Oh..." Ji Xiaotang understood, and took care of the little girl who handed the parrot to the time, and then went back to the room.

Madam Cheng followed in and all the little girls serving retreated.

"Follow the nanny, will Gu Xueer be at peace from now on?" Ji Xiaotang walked off the couch and asked Madam Cheng.

"Miss Xueer is just ambition, but her scheming is also simple, and the seven emotions... I am worried that although Miss Xueer is obedient on the surface, she may not be willing to accept her fate." Madam Cheng said slowly.∏∈,

Gu Xueer's temperament will never become a peaceable person in her life. It's just that she is limited by her talent, so she has never been able to cause any trouble in the past.

Ji Xiaotang still knows Gu Xueer's temperament.

"I know, she hates me in her heart." Ji Xiaotang said lightly, "I specially arranged this marriage for her to cure her."

"Miss Xue'er is in a blessing, but she doesn't know how to be blessed." Madam Cheng sighed. Her eyes swept across Ji Xiaotang's face. The sunlight outside the window shines warmly on Ji Xiaotang's face. Ji Xiaotang's face looks more dazzling under the warm halo.

Perhaps, dazzling, this is what most people think of Ji Xiaotang. However, only after getting close to Ji Xiaotang and having contact with Ji Xiaotang for a long time will you know that Ji Xiaotang is actually soft.

Ji Xiaotang has a heart that is so soft.

Even though she had no good feelings for Gu Xueer, she was still betrayed by a member of the ungrateful wolf who almost killed the Ji family, Ji Xiaotang still gave her a favor.

The Huo family's marriage was tailored for Gu Xueer. If Gu Xueer could cherish her blessings, she would not have been rich or powerful in the second half of her life, but would have had no worries about food and clothing, and lived a stable life, which would be better than most ordinary people.

"Have she met her elder sister again these two days?" Ji Xiaotang asked Madam Cheng again.

"No. Miss Xue'er once asked someone to tell the eldest girl to meet again, but the eldest girl ignored it." Madam Cheng said.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth after hearing what Madam Cheng said.

"Her value is just like this, so how can I expect my elder sister to take care of her again? My elder sister is more jealous than the top and I have seen her once, and she is already despicable."

While Gu Xueer was preparing to marry, she went to the garden to relax and "accidentally" met Ji Xiaolian.

They all live in a big mansion. Ji Xiaolian and Gu Xueer have not met before. However, Ji Xiaolian was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Xueer, and sometimes she just pretended not to see Gu Xueer.

But that time, Ji Xiaolian spoke first and talked to Gu Xueer, and her attitude was very friendly.

Ji Xiaotang then knew what these two people said at that time. Ji Xiaolian was obviously paying attention to it everywhere, and perhaps she learned more about the inside story from Mrs. Ji. The main content of her conversation with Gu Xueer was just to instigate Gu Xueer to hate Ji Xiaotang even more.

In Ji Xiaolian's words, Ji Xiaotang is too domineering and does not regard Gu Xueer as a relative. Gu Xueer just said a few words to Zheng Zi without Ji Xiaotang's permission. As a result, when Ji Xiaotang got home, he married a wealthless flower craftsman by Ji Xiaotang!

Gu Xueer didn't dare to say anything at that time, but obviously regarded Ji Xiaolian as a confidant and was the one who could help her. So after that, Gu Xueer wanted to meet Ji Xiaolian several times.

Ji Xiaolian never appeared in front of Gu Xueer again. Even if Gu Xueer beat someone and sent a message to see her, Ji Xiaolian ignored her.

This also shows that in Ji Xiaolian's eyes, Gu Xueer's useful value is very limited.

Gu Xueer herself may not not understand, but whenever this happens, she still does not hesitate to seize the opportunity.

An opportunity to make profits for yourself by betraying the Ji family and selling Ji Xiaotang.

Just like her father, uncle Gu.

Stupid, short-sighted, and ungrateful!

"Madam, I plan to give her another chance." Ji Xiaotang picked up the teacup that Xiu'er held up and took a sip. "If she has the intention to repent and is willing to remember the kindness of the Ji family, then I will give her the glory and wealth for the rest of her life. If she is still the same and ungrateful, then she will seek death."

However, she would make Gu Xueer die with some value.

After receiving so much kindness from the Ji family, Gu Xueer and Gu family are time to repay one or two.

Ji Xiaotang called Madam Cheng to the front and gave her a low voice in this way.

"Her wedding date is only these two days. Without further ado, the nanny will go and arrange it." Finally, Ji Xiaotang ordered.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements now." Madam Cheng agreed respectfully, lowered her head slightly to cover the surprise in her eyes, then bent her knees and blessed her blessings, then she stepped back gently.

Ji Xiaotang once told her many times that she would not have to be so polite. However, she was as always and has become more and more persistent recently.

This is entirely out of her original intention. It is not because of Ji Xiaotang's identity as a county lord, but because of her respect for Ji Xiaotang from the bottom of her heart.

After beating Madam Cheng down, Ji Xiaotang sighed softly.

She set up a chess piece, but unlike other chess players, she gave the chess piece the right to choose.

What Gu Xueer wants to do depends entirely on herself.

What would Gu Xueer do? Ji Xiaotang secretly exposed it, and there was almost no doubt about it. The only thing she was uncertain about was that on the other side of the chess game, who would bite off the bait first?

Ji Xiaotang was thinking in his heart. A little girl came in and reported that Prince Jing'an was here.

Qin Zhen is here!

After the moon building, Qin Zhen received the news almost immediately and came to Xinhua Hall the next day. He also had dinner at Xinhua Hall and talked with Master Ji, Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaomu. It was not until nearly two o'clock that he would return to Prince An's mansion in a mighty manner in the carriage of the prince.

That night, almost half of the people in the capital saw Prince An came out of Xinhua Hall at night. The lanterns illuminated the entire streets and alleys passing by.

Qin Zhen could enter and exit Xinhua Hall freely. Although Ji Xiaotang did not agree to his marriage immediately, he accepted the phoenix guqin he gave. However, Prince Su Qin Lin and Xinhua Hall were only a general relationship. The Dongzhu sent by Prince Su's mansion was rejected by Ji Xiaotang on the spot.

Regardless of the final outcome, Qin Zhen's advantage is obvious, even if it is only temporary.

There is also a consequence of this incident that Ji Xiaotang did not expect but not so unexpected.

Qin Zhen came to Xinhua Hall diligently.

If Qin Zhen was the prince in the past, and because of Qingyuan, he was always a little taboo for the Ji family because of the Qingyuan incident, but now, Qin Zhen does not need to be taboo at all, and he almost always comes to Xinhuatang whenever he wants.

Even if he didn't care so much about Ji Xiaotang, now Qin Lin wants to compete with him, he can't lose to Qin Lin no matter what.

At least, many people outside cannot help but think so.

This gave Qin Zhen sufficient reasons to appear in Xinhuatang frequently, so it was more convenient to exchange news with Ji Xiaotang and discuss things.

Now, Qin Zhen is here again, Ji Xiaotang is not surprised at all.

She has already discovered that even if it is to compete with Qin Lin and discuss matters with her, Qin Zhen still comes to Xinhuatang too often.

However, since Qin Zhen has come, she must see him.

Not as a woman admired by Qin Zhen, but as Qin Zhen’s partner.

Ji Xiaotang was doing a little bit of cleaning up and brought a group of maids to Jinghuatang. Qin Zhen had already met Mrs. Ji in Xuanhuatang's study and was now talking to Mr. Ji Er in Jinghuatang's study.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang coming, Qin Zhen stood up from behind the desk to greet him.

Qin Zhen was wearing a python satin dress and smiling, but Ji Xiaotang was a little confused. Qin Zhen looked so comfortable that he didn't look like he was a guest, but rather like he was at home.

"... Today I got a basket of good taro, which has been sent to the kitchen. I heard from Lord Ji that Xiaotang loves to eat this." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang with a smile that a former official from his palace had gone to a foreign office two years ago. He was in Fujian Prefecture and returned to the capital in the past two days and carefully selected a basket of the best taro for him.

When he knew that Ji Xiaotang loved to eat this, he immediately sent the taro to Xinhuatang himself.

There was a severe drought in the north. In the south, Fujian Prefecture has been flooding for years and there was no harvest on the farmlands. The production of taro, which was famous in the local area, also dropped sharply, and the quality was much worse than before.

Qin Zhen assured Ji Xiaotang that the taro he sent today was produced from the only farm that the official had not suffered from disaster, and was carefully planted. It would only be better than Ji Xiaotang had eaten before and would never be worse.

It was just a basket of taro, but Qin Zhen said a lot!

Ji Xiaotang can only express his appreciation.

"The prince seems... very idle lately!" Sitting down in the study, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but squeeze Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen was in high spirits, but Ji Xiaotang said something unreasonably, then lowered his head and touched his nose, and coughed awkwardly. However, when he raised his head again, the glance at Ji Xiaotang was slightly aggrieved.
