Chapter 37 Unexpected Gains(2/2)
Seeing Ji Xiaotang like this, Qin Zhen not only did not get angry, but could not help laughing.
"Xiaotang, are you planning to go?" After laughing, Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang.
"Can I not go?" Ji Xiaotang asked back.
She could refuse Zheng Gui's heavy gifts, but she could not refuse the request for a banquet. Moreover, she had no intention of refusing.
Qin Zhen also guessed Ji Xiaotang's answer, and he could not stop Ji Xiaotang from going to Prince Su's Mansion.
"...Anyway, be careful, just let go of your courage and rely on your heart. No matter what happens, you just need to remember, and I will be there." Qin Zhen solemnly told Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang smiled.
Qin Zhen kept a meal in Xuanhua Hall that day, one of the dishes was the taro he brought. Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything, but Old Mrs. Ji said she loved it very much.
Soon, it was the sixth day of the second month, which was Gu Xueer's marriage period.
When Gu Xueer got married, the Ji family did not invite guests. They just waited until the wedding team came, and then they sent Gu Xueer out with great pleasure. Although Gu Xueer's dowry was generous, the marriage was not much different from that of ordinary people.
In addition to the dowry, Old Lady Ji also gave Gu Xueer a little girl as a dowry. The reason why she didn't give away the people was because although the Huo family had some family resources, the family had never liked extravagance and hired workers at home. However, only the old lady of the Huo family had a serving service in the house.
Naturally, Gu Xueer could not pass the old lady of the Huo family.
"...I feel a little persistent. I was so unwilling to say that I couldn't bear to leave the old lady. I just got into the sedan chair and didn't have a single tear." After marrying Gu Xueer, Ji Xiaotang walked on the bluestone road and heard the voice of a woman in the distance.
Ji Xiaotang ignored it, but turned his gaze to Mama Cheng.
When Gu Xueer got married, Madam Cheng was helping to take care of her.
Madam Cheng nodded.
"County Lord, do you want to send someone to the Huo family..." Madam Cheng asked Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang waved his hand and said there was no need.
The matters in Huojiazhuang were left to Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen’s people were veterans in doing these things, and they were much more skilled than those in the Ji family.
When he arrived at Xuanhua Hall, Ji Xiaotang saw Old Lady Ji sitting on the kang, holding Ji Xiaoyun's hand and talking.
When Gu Xueer got married, even though Mrs. Ji didn't have a deep relationship with her, she still felt a little emotional and felt empty. People who are older are prone to being sad about these things.
"If my grandmother feels lonely, she will ask Miss Zhou to come and talk with her." Ji Xiaotang stepped forward and advised Mrs. Ji.
"Miss Zhou and her mother come every day, and your sister is also here, so she doesn't feel lonely. It's just in her heart..., Alas, life is so fast, and you're all growing up."
Gu Xueer is married, Ji Xiaotang will not wait for too long for marriage. Zhou Nianhong is not young anymore, and Ji Xiaoyun...
Old Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaoyun to help her find something, and then sent Ji Xiaoyun away.
"Xiaotang, your sister is like this, it's not a big deal. I have been thinking about this for the past two days. When Xue'er's affairs are over, I will discuss with your parents..., and you will also help pay attention, at least find a safe marriage for your sister..."
Before Old Mrs. Ji finished speaking, Ji Xiaoyun actually went back: "Grandma, I won't get married!"
After Ji Xiaoyun finished shouting this, her eyes turned red. She rushed to Old Lady Ji and looked at Ji Xiaotang.
"If you think about this, you will force me to be your sister-in-law."
"Xiaoyun!" Old Mrs. Ji sighed.
Ji Xiaoyun turned around, ignored Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang, and left by herself.
After all, the Qin family's marriage hurt Ji Xiaoyun too deeply. Old Mrs. Ji sighed and told Ji Xiaotang that she regretted that "the intestines are about to be green."
"It's not that our family can't afford to support her, but she is a girl's family. She can't keep going like this at a young age. At least she has a home and gives birth to a child and a half of her daughter, or she will be a lonely ghost if she dies in the future." Old Mrs. Ji held Ji Xiaotang's hand. In her opinion, Ji Xiaotang had the best way in the family.
It is precisely because of this that she had talked to Ji Xiaotang before she could talk to Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er about Ji Xiaoyun’s marriage.
"Don't worry, grandmother, my sister is still young, and I can't make a turn for the time being, so I'll be fine slowly." Ji Xiaotang advised Old Mrs. Ji.
"How long will it take? I don't know if I can see it alive?...I can't close my eyes even if I die."
"Grandma will definitely see it with her own eyes." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Really?" Old Mrs. Ji opened her eyes wide, as if only Ji Xiaotang's words were like golden words.
"Really." Ji Xiaotang nodded.
"That's good." Old Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiaotang, worry more about your sister. Grandma's thought of you is also sharing your worries for your parents."
"I know, grandmother." Old Mrs. Ji was indeed full of heart for Ji Xiaoyun, so Ji Xiaotang was particularly patient.
Soon, the day for three days to return home came. Although Gu Xueer was not the daughter of the Ji family, Xinhuatang still made preparations on this day.
The auspicious time has passed, but Gu Xueer and Huo Erlang are not seen.
Xuanhuatang, Old Mrs. Ji frowned slightly.
Master Ji Er beat someone immediately and went along the way Huo Erlang might have come to welcome Huo Erlang and Gu Xueer.
After about two quarters of an hour, the manager hurriedly led Huo Erlang.
But Gu Xueer was not seen beside Huo Erlang.
As soon as Huo Erlang entered the door, he knelt down with a pounce. Although he was wearing a red wedding dress, his head was scattered, sweaty, and his whole body was very embarrassed. Obviously, he had encountered something and came in a hurry, and he didn't care about all this.
"What happened?" Old Mrs. Ji vaguely felt something was wrong and asked immediately.
Huo Erlang cried, and the person in charge came forward to reply.
Gu Xueer ran away.
