Seeing that it was Li Jinglong and Xie Yufei talking, Xia Xun quickly got off his horse and walked over. Li Jinglong was wearing ordinary clothes, and the guards around him were also wearing ordinary clothes. He looked like the bodyguards of a wealthy family, but he was very alert and cautious.
Compared to ordinary people, Xia Xun caught their attention as soon as he got close. However, they saw that Xia Xun was wearing a Feiyu suit, and judging from his rank, he was still a flag officer, so they did not scold him, but just affirmed his identity as their master.
, said in a low voice: "In front of you is Cao Guogong, there is no need to avoid it!"
Xia Xun smiled slightly and said: "My Majesty, Yang Xu, the flag officer of Jinyiwei, has been ordered to accompany Cao Guogong to Hangzhou. This time I am about to pay homage to the Duke."
After hearing this, several guards looked at him suspiciously. Xia Xun showed his waistband, and then several guards stepped out of the way to let him pass.
Li Jinglong was talking to Xie Yufei, and looking at her face, she looked a little unhappy.
When Xia Xun got closer, he discovered that there was a woman standing next to Xie Yufei. Although she was already in her middle years, her skin was as white as jade, her nose was as greasy, her charm and appearance were extraordinary, and Xie Yufei had accompanied her adoptive mother, Mrs. Xizhu, to the Yangtze River.
When they were in the valley, Xia Xun had seen her and recognized her as Mrs. Xizhu. However, Mrs. Xizhu had the same petite figure as her daughter, and she had just been blocked by a few big men, so Xia Xun never saw her.
Xia Xun walked closer and heard Li Jinglong say very displeasedly: "Miss Xie, I, Li Jiujiang, am the first-ranking official in the dynasty and the hereditary Duke of the country. Am I not worthy of you with my status? You are a descendant of the Xie family in Chen County."
It's not just right, one is equal and two are equal, it is called three wives. I, Li Jiujiang, now only have one married wife. Since you are a descendant of the Xie family, I naturally cannot treat you as a concubine, so I will accept you as an equal wife, as the father of our country.
My identity is not an insult to you, right? Why does the girl refuse so many times?"
Xie Yufei seemed to have lost her patience due to his entanglement, and said with a straight face: "To be honest, the little girl already has a fiancée. As the saying goes, a good horse does not deserve two saddles, and a good girl does not marry two husbands. Although the Duke of Guo has a good figure,
Xiuwei and high status, but the little girl is not blessed, how can she remarry to another husband. I believe that the Duke of the country will not look down on such a daughter's family. The little girl really cannot accept the kindness of the Duke of the country. "
Li Jinglong said with a long face: "You wear your hair in a three-part bun, so you are clearly unmarried. If it is true that you are married, I, Li Jiujiang, will not bother you. But just now your adoptive mother was walking with you, giving you lectures. Listen to her words.
It's clear that you haven't promised anyone yet, but are you trying to trick me with your clever words?"
It turned out that Mrs. Xizhu and Xie Yufei had just returned to Jinling today. Although Mrs. Xizhu recognized the son-in-law, her daughter was married far away and could not see each other often. She was ultimately unhappy. She also knew that her goddaughter had been dissolved from the Yang family.
It was about the engagement, so I just walked all the way and taught her a lesson, telling her not to imitate her own daughter when choosing someone to marry, which would make her elders sad. She didn't want these words to be heard by Li Jinglong who came out of a shop.
Li Jinglong has been thinking about Xie Yufei since the last time he said goodbye. The playboy felt that he was lovesick. In fact, the reason was simple. Xie Yufei was already outstanding in appearance and charming, and it was not easy for men to forget. She teased her again.
Li Jinglong made him make a big fool of himself in public. How could Li Jinglong forget such a scene? Because he thought about it often, he thought that he could not let go of this girl Xie, and now he just responded to the sky, but he had an unexpected encounter with her.
Encounter, what is this if not God's will?
So Li Jinglong immediately stopped her and expressed his love on the spot. At first, both sides were reserved in their words, but Xie Yufei remained unmoved. Li Jinglong gradually became angry, and the two of them froze here.
Xie Yufei put on a pretty face and said: "The little girl has indeed promised someone. This life-long event is not something to be joked about. Lord, please respect yourself."
Li Jinglong said angrily: "Okay! Jiujiang is presumptuous. If the girl has already promised someone, Li Jinglong will turn around and leave without saying a word. If the girl has never promised someone..."
Xie Yufei's family only had a divorce document, and there was no marriage document. She couldn't help but hesitate when she heard this, and quickly looked at her adoptive mother. She and her apprentice were of the same mind, and Mrs. Xizhu immediately understood what she meant. She wanted to go first. Leave and help my precious disciple make a fake marriage certificate.
"Alas! A daughter or a goddaughter can't worry about anything." Mrs. Xizhu sighed secretly and was about to leave with an excuse.
Xia Xun saw Li Jinglong's aggressive approach, and Xie Yufei couldn't resist, and suddenly became anxious. After the incident in Qingzhou, he and Xie Yufei had already become attached to each other, only the layer of window paper had not yet been made clear. When she comes back this time, Xia Xun wanted to settle the marriage first. Who would have thought that there would be complications? Someone would always remember this beautiful flower. It would be impossible if he didn't do it early. He coughed hurriedly and said: "Yang Xu, the humble official of the Imperial Guard, has seen the country." Lord."
Li Jinglong, Xie Yufei and Mrs. Xizhu all looked to the side and saw Xia Xun clasping his fists and saying, "Master Guo, Miss Xie is just my unmarried wife. I don't know if I can be a witness because of my humble position?"
Li Jinglong was startled and lost his voice: "She is your unmarried wife? Isn't it right? Where is that Miss Peng? Did you divorce her?"
Xia Xun coughed, pointed at his nose and said: "Equal wives, equal wives, Lord Duke of the State, the Duke of the State can equalize his wives, doesn't it mean he can't equal his wife if he is in a humble position?"
Xie Yufei showed a look of surprise when she saw Xia Xun. When she heard what he said, she didn't know if she was really shy or fake. In short, a good girl should be more reserved, so she leaned closer to Mrs. Xizhu and whispered shyly. He bowed his head and said nothing.
Li Jinglong looked at Xie Yufei, then at Xia Xun, and then thought about what Mrs.
Xia Xun said: "Bi Zhi and Miss Xie are in love, and they have discussed marriage, but the marriage contract has not been signed yet."
Li Jinglong suddenly changed his expression: "So you are just perfunctory with me?"
Xia Xun said sternly: "I dare not do this because of my humble position. If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Xie whether she and I are in love and whether we have discussed marriage."
Xia Xun was just a seventh-rank general. In front of the first-rank hereditary Duke Li Jinglong, such an official was nothing, but he dared to show that she was his woman in public without any scruples, and did not care about his own future. , he is a man, and all men put their achievements first, but in his heart, he is a hundred times more important than his future.
Thinking of this, Xie Yufei's heart was surging, and she was so happy that her chest was about to explode. She felt that all the pain she had suffered for him over the years was worth it. For a woman to have such an upright man and her family to entrust her with her for the rest of her life, how could she still be so happy? What's there to be dissatisfied about? She glanced at Xia Xun with tears in her eyes, and nodded gently but firmly.
Seeing the two completely different attitudes of this enchanting beauty towards Xia Xun and towards himself, Li Jinglong was filled with jealousy and couldn't care less about his bullshit demeanor anymore. He sneered and said: "What is a woman in love? To get married, you must get the orders of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the three matchmakers and six certificates before you can be sure!"
Xia Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "What's so difficult about this? I'll be engaged to Miss Xie right away and get the marriage certificate signed!"
Li Jinglong, Xie Yufei, and Mrs. Xizhu were all stunned. How could they get engaged on this street?
Xia Xun stood proudly and said loudly: "If you have feelings in your heart, why do you need Yue Lao to be the matchmaker? If you have a sincere thought, heaven and earth can prove it! Yang, please ask heaven to be the matchmaker!"
Xie Yufei looked at him longingly, unable to restrain her joy and excitement. She couldn't help but take a step forward and said in a low voice but firmly: "The little girl will ask the ground to be your matchmaker!"
When Li Jinglong saw the two of them singing together, he couldn't help but his face turned green and red, but he still managed to sneer and said: "Men have heaven as their matchmaker, women have earth as matchmaker, and there is still one matchmaker missing from the three matchmakers. Where is the matchmaker?" ?”
Xia Xun looked around, strode away, and when he reached a roadside stall, he picked up an old man squatting there selling firecrackers. Xia Xun often passed by this road when commuting to and from work. We all bought firecrackers from this stall and got acquainted with this old man. This old man’s name was Yang Mei. He was originally a master in the Gunpowder Bureau. Later, when he got older, his son took over his job and went home to tinker with things. I started a small business with firecrackers. The old man's ears didn't work very well, so he talked loudly with his throat. In all likelihood, he was talking like a duck, and he didn't know what was going on.
I don’t know what Xia Xun said to him. The old man was smiling and nodding. Xia Xun pulled him over and said with a smile: "Master Guo, look, these three matchmakers are already here." Already."
After saying that, Xia Xun turned around and left. In a moment, he collected a bunch of things from the market, a bucket, a ruler, a steelyard, a pair of scissors, a mirror, and an abacus. These are the six certificates, six The certificates were all in place. Immediately afterwards, there was another stall selling calligraphy on the roadside. After Xia Xun gave a few words, he spread out the red paper and started writing the marriage letter.
This calligrapher doesn't know Li Jinglong. If he knew that the guy standing on the street with his face turned blue with anger was a prince, he might be scared to death, but he only knew that Li Jinglong was a rich young man. , and Xia Xun... He is wearing a flying fish robe and has a spring knife embroidered under his ribs. Who can offend this chief bannerman?
The marriage is written and the six certificates are complete.
Uncle Yang, who looked like he was smiling and would only nod his head no matter what you said, stood in the middle. Xia Xun looked solemnly and said: "Big tea, small gift, three matchmakers and six certificates, everything is complete. Yang Xu's parents She died, and she has the final say in her own marriage. Miss Xie's parents have also died early, so she is completely taken care of by her adoptive mother. She has shown kindness to Miss Xie and reborn her, so this important matter of marriage should be decided by her adoptive mother."
He looked around, strode forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed a wild goose from a stall selling delicacies and wild game. The trader looked at it eagerly, without daring to say a word. Although Jin Yiwei was a toothless tiger, , but the common people are still afraid. If it is a Jin Yiwei who is not mentally normal, then they... are even more afraid. They only dare to stand around and watch from a distance, and do not dare to come close.
Xia Xun picked up the wild goose, walked to Mrs. Xizhu, bowed and said: "The Xie family has a beautiful daughter, whom Yang Xu has admired for a long time. He is willing to marry her and grow old together. I also ask my adoptive mother to agree."
Mrs. Xizhu looked at Xie Yufei. Xie Yufei was so moved by this romantic scene that she just wiped her tears and couldn't speak. Mrs. Xizhu sighed and said with emotion: "Oh! My useless son-in-law, if I had you
Even if I have half the courage, I won't punish him." After saying that, she took Dayan.
Li Jinglong's eyes were filled with lust and he gritted his teeth: "Okay! Hello! Yang Xu, Yang Xu, you're very good. Let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook. We'll see!"
He flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave. With tears of happiness in her eyes, Xie Yufei walked up to Xia Xun, held up his sleeves, and said with a smile: "We don't have to be afraid of him, ha, you don't want to be either.
It’s under his control.”
The corners of Xia Xun's mouth twitched quickly and he said, "Well, yes..."
