Chapter 12 Kissing
Mama Yao resisted and waved her hand again and again, "Miss, last time the second young master was in your food, did you forget?" As she spoke, she wanted to take the chicken leg from Xue Jinyi's hand, "This chicken leg can only smell a fragrance." ”
"I can't quench my thirst." Xue Jinyi tore off a small strip of meat from the chicken thigh, sniffed the smell carefully, and threw it into her mouth to taste it, "Croton tastes spicy, this chicken leg tastes normal, just eat it." ”
"How does Miss know that croton is spicy?" Mama Yao asked curiously.
Xue Jinyi prevaricated: "When I was sorting out the books, I accidentally saw it. In fact, when she was filming, she encountered a similar plot, and for her with an extraordinary memory, she naturally remembered it.
She took a big bite of the chicken thigh, and the heat and time of the stew were just right, the sauce was delicious, and the meat was tender. She hadn't eaten a meal of meat since she came to this world, and she couldn't help but nibble on the chicken thighs in three or two bites.
Mama Yao looked at her lovingly, and handed her chicken leg to Xue Jinyi, "Miss, I don't like to eat this, you can take it and eat it." ”
Mama Yao was also hungry, Xue Jinyi shook her head, "I'm full, you can eat." ”
She was about to go back to the house, but there was a sound of eager footsteps outside, thinking that it was Xue Huai's bad boy who went and returned, and then someone called through the door: "Miss Jin, the old lady invites you to go to Yunjiayuan." ”
Xue Jinyi and Mama Yao glanced at each other, the latter stepped forward quickly, opened the courtyard door a little, and looked outside, and the person who came was indeed Fuyun next to the old lady.
Mama Yao asked, "Miss Fuyun, shouldn't the old lady be eating a banquet at this moment?" ”
Fuyun glanced at the people passing by, and said softly: "The old lady is sick and didn't go, and she wants Miss Jin to come and serve." ”
Xue Jinyi heard this, and walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, "Let's go." ”
Old Madam Xue suddenly sent someone to find her, there must be something important, so it can't be delayed.
She greeted Mama Yao, and the three of them walked along the path to Yunjiayuan, and met a few mothers-in-law gathered in the pavilion to eat wine on the way, and there were a few good dishes on the table, and the meat was fragrant.
"Madame is so good to us, even during the Chinese New Year, we can't eat such delicacies from the mountains and seas."
"That's because Madame is in a good mood today, so she rewarded everyone in the house."
"Miss was elected as the crown princess, bringing supreme glory to the Guogong Mansion, can Madame be happy?"
"Hehe," someone laughed mysteriously, "not only this, but I vaguely heard that there might be a happy event in the house." ”
"What's the happy event?"
"Then I don't know, when the time comes, won't we know? You might even get a reward. ”
The mothers-in-law were laughing and laughing, Xue Jinyi lowered her eyes, walked over quickly, and came to Yunjiayuan after a while.
The courtyard door was still closed, Fuyun didn't knock on the door, pushed the door directly, and asked Xue Jinyi to go directly to the wing room to see the old lady.
Xue Jinyi walked into the wing room and saw that Old Madam Xue was talking in a low voice to a woman in her thirties, who was dressed very plainly, but could not hide the elegance of her gestures.
"This is Miss Jin, right?" The woman was the first to speak.
Old Madam Xue nodded and said, "Yes." Jinyi, this is my niece and daughter-in-law, you can call Auntie. ”
"Hello Auntie." Xue Jinyi saluted.
Zhao looked at Xue Jinyi and said in surprise: "Jinyi is indeed very different from the rumors in the outside world. ”
Old Madam Xue took a sip of tea and sighed, "It's not that someone is doing evil. ”
Xue Jinyi listened to their speeches quietly, silently guessing why Old Madam Xue asked her to see this aunt.
Soon, Old Madam Xue's eyes fell on Xue Jinyi again, and she said word by word: "Jinyi, I called you here today, I asked your aunt to help you talk about a family business." ”
Say pro? Xue Jinyi thought for a moment that she had misheard, and yesterday she said that she would take back the Xue family's property from Mrs. Xue together, why did she want to marry her today and marry her off?
She showed her confusion and asked, "Grandmother, why is it so sudden?" ”
"Do you know why Sun Suci is so happy today?" Old Madam Xue asked rhetorically.
Xue Jinyi remembered the conversation between her mother-in-law, "In addition to Xue Fangyi being elected as the crown princess, is there another happy event in the mansion?" ”
"Exactly." Old Madam Xue nodded, a glint of hatred flashed in her eyes, "I guess she wants to marry you to the King of Chu in order to relieve Empress Cai's worries and sell her a favor." Moreover, after all, you are the young lady of the Weiguo Mansion, and the marriage should be more decent, and you can't be as careful as hers. Then, this marriage can make her a win-win situation. ”
Xue Jinyi frowned, Mrs. Xue had not decided on a family affair when she was eighteen years old, and she originally guessed that she was going to delay it for a few more years, and then casually pointed out to an old man to do a continuation or something, but she didn't expect it......
"Although the king of Chu is a prince, his biological mother is just a lowly palace maid, with a strange personality like his biological mother, and the throne is only a false name, not even a food town, plus the rumors of a wife are confirmed, if you marry in the past, life will definitely be difficult." Old Madam Xue continued: "Miss Dong just died, for the sake of the face of the Marquis of Hucheng, the palace will not make an order too quickly, so before that, first make a marriage for you, Sun Suci will not be able to do anything with you, and break her promise in front of the queen, the queen will definitely not let their mother and daughter have a good time." ”
Xue Jinyi was stunned.
Old Madam Xue beckoned, motioned for Xue Jinyi to come closer, then held her hand, and said with a kind smile: "I discussed it with your aunt, she has a nephew who is about the same age as you, she just passed the Xiucai exam last year, and her character is also good, and she is willing to join our Weiguo Mansion." ”
Xue Jinyi, a modern person, can't accept an arranged marriage no matter what.
She didn't want to marry the King of Chu, and she didn't want to make a hasty and casual decision on her family, but when she saw Old Madam Xue's worried look, she consciously pursed her lips.
Her hesitation made Old Madam Xue sigh and said, "It's too sudden, maybe you can't accept it for a while." She looked at her niece and daughter-in-law again, "Or maybe you two will like to see each other first?" ”
"Grandmother is dedicated to Jinyi's good, so ......" Xue Jinyi was not silent for too long, and said in a low voice: "This matter is all arranged by grandmother." ”
In front of others, she didn't want to brush off Old Madam Xue's hard work and kindness, and the easiest solution was indeed to marry before the holy decree.
Old Madam Xue nodded to the Zhao family, "Then let's settle this matter as soon as possible, so that we don't have to dream a lot at night." ”
"Yes, old lady." Zhao replied solemnly, and then got up, "It's not early, I'll go back first." ”
"Hmm." Old Madam Xue motioned for Fuyun to send the Zhao family out.
Xue Jinyi owed to the Zhao family again, "Auntie, walk slowly, be careful on the road." ”
Zhao smiled: "Jinyi is really a well-behaved and caring child." She nodded to Old Madam Xue again and went out with Fuyun.
After the two left, Old Madam Xue coldly held Xue Jinyi's hand, stared at her face with blazing eyes, and asked, "Jinyi, to be honest, are you resisting this marriage?" ”
