Just as Hu Ruxing said, the clan leader indeed called Hu Ruhai to talk to him that night. Although he did not express it directly, his words did reveal some intention of marrying into the Xu family.

After coming out of the patriarch's study, Hu Ruhai returned to his residence in a daze.

Although he carries the title of the young master of the Hu family, Hu Ruhai knows in his heart that he is not as good as Hu Ruxing in terms of qualifications, and he is even more difficult to compare to him in terms of status.

Among the three young heads of the Hu family, the one with the same qualifications as Hu Ruxing is about to get married. If this continues, it goes without saying that the one who will inherit the position of patriarch in the future will definitely be Hu Ruxing.

Hu Ruhai sat cross-legged on the futon, but could not calm down. The two palms hanging on his knees tightened and loosened, and the purple meridians on the back of his hands looked a little ferocious due to excessive exertion.

Xu Minghui is pretty pretty, and she is the only granddaughter of the head of the Xu family. If she can really marry her, with the power of her natal family, Hu Ruhai's status in the Hu family will also rise, and it will be different.

.

But Ruyi...

The young man's slightly lowered eyes flashed with light, and his expression changed for a while. After a while, he finally became calm.

…

A few days later, the head of the Hu family went to the Xu family in Jinghu in person and negotiated with the head of the Xu family about the marriage of the two younger generations.

Hu Ruhai was originally chosen by Xu Minghui personally, and he was also the young master of the Hu family with good qualifications. Therefore, Hu Yuyuan did not need to waste any time on the marriage, and the head of the Xu family agreed wholeheartedly.

Finally, the heads of the two families unanimously decided to schedule their marriage on the Shangsi Festival, which falls on the third day of the next month.

The Hu family and the Xu family had a close relationship, and with the blessing of this marriage, they were even closer to each other. The head of the Xu family was so happy that he kept Hu Yuyuan in Jingzhou and drank wine for two days before letting him go back to Yu.

Sichuan.

As soon as the head of the Hu family returned, news that the Hu and Xu families were about to get married spread in Yuchuan.

For the Hu family, this is undoubtedly another happy event. It is precisely because the Hu family has been growing in power recently that so many forces are vying to make friends with the Hu family.

Although the date of Shangsi Festival was chosen perfectly, the divorce period was already less than half a month, so it was somewhat hasty.

Someone in Yuchuan had already customized a number of wedding items in Zongyuan City, and carriages covered with red curtains and wedding silks kept coming, transporting all kinds of prepared ritual utensils into the ancestral land.

Red lanterns, wedding curtains, red candles, eight-treasure dried fruits, and even the wedding dress that the bride will wear when she enters the house are being prepared day and night by a dozen of the top embroiderers in Zongyuan City.

For a time, everyone in the Hu family was in a happy mood.

…

Hujiadongyuan.

In a rather impressive courtyard, a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl in white was squatting alone in the corner of the courtyard.

There was a small copper basin placed in front of the girl. There were many items scattered in it, including a handkerchief embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks, a headband and belt embroidered with jade, and an embroidered handkerchief.

Half filled aqua muff.

"Brother Hai, I knew you wouldn't be willing to go away with me like this, but I didn't expect you to do it so cruelly and not care about the deep love I have had for you over the years."

Hu Ruyi's eyes were red and swollen, her eyes were fixed on the objects in the copper basin, and she murmured to herself.

After a long time, the girl raised her right hand and threw the slightly deformed fire fold into the basin. The bright red flames swelled in the wind and instantly engulfed several pieces of embroidery in the basin in the hot flames.

Seeing this scene, a silent smile suddenly appeared on the girl's pale face.

I saw her lips moving, muttering something almost inaudibly, and then another drop of crystal tear slipped quietly from the corner of her eye.

…

Liu Xiaolu stroked the big red word "happy" on the door of the courtyard, frowned in confusion and said, "Is this a big shot in the clan who is having a happy event? Why is it so grand, with decorations going from house to house."

Today, suddenly a servant from the clan came to the door of their courtyard and posted two words of joy. This gesture shocked Liu Xiaolu.

Heaven and earth conscience, isn't her wedding date to Jin Ziqi still a year away? The Hu family shouldn't start preparations so early, right?

However, Hu Yizhi was not at home today. Feeling uneasy, Liu Xiaolu had to go to the two clan brothers at the door to inquire about the news.

But don’t push the wedding date forward.

Hu Rusong smiled when he heard this and said, "That's not true. The marriage of my young master of the Hu family will naturally be a grand affair."

Liu Xiaolu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his face suddenly turned ugly, but he still managed to remain calm and said, "Young Master, are you getting married? Isn't my marriage to the City Lord's Mansion scheduled for every year?"

When Hu Rushan on the side saw this, he was afraid that this girl had misunderstood. He frowned and glared at Hu Rusong, then turned to Liu Xiaolu and said with a smile,

"Young master, don't panic. The clan is planning Ruhai's marriage this time, and the date of your wedding to that member of the Jin family has not changed."

"Fourth brother is getting married?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu felt relieved, but he blinked twice in surprise, "Why is the fourth brother suddenly getting married? I didn't hear that he had made a marriage arrangement with any girl earlier.

.”

"Hey, didn't I tell the young master earlier that the Hua Chao Club in Zongyuan City is a good place to seek marriage.

I heard that boy Ru Hai fell in love at first sight with Miss Sun of the Xu family at the Hua Chao party not long ago." Hu Rusong interrupted with a smile.

Liu Xiaolu was stunned when he heard this and said curiously, "Miss Xu family? Is she the Xu family in Jinghu? But even so, they are getting married in just half a month. This is too hasty."

Hu Rusong waved his hand and lowered his voice and said, "Young master, you don't know something. Miss Sun from the Xu family in Jinghu is already nineteen years old this year.

The old man of the Xu family has arranged three marriages for her since she was sixteen years old, but even now he has not been able to successfully marry her off. I guess it is because the old man Xu is anxious to enjoy his granddaughter's wedding."

"Three marriages have not come to fruition in three years? This is a bit strange. Could it be that the young lady of the Xu family is extremely ugly?" Liu Xiaolu rolled his eyes and couldn't help but speculate.

It's a bit unusual for the woman's family to take the initiative to talk about her parentage, and it's even more conjectural that three marriages in a row haven't happened.

Unexpectedly, Hu Rusong shook his head and said, "No, I heard that the young lady from the Xu family is petite and has a quiet and lovely appearance. She is a rare beauty."

Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but become even more confused when he heard this, and asked hurriedly, "Ah? How could that be..."

"I heard that although Miss Xu's appearance is pleasant, she actually has a very weird temper. Whenever she disagrees with her, she treats the surrounding relatives and friends as a poison test, testing various strange poisons she has developed.

After the family members met with her under the arrangement of their elders, all of them returned home suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. They were all bedridden for at least half a month before gradually getting better.
