Shenjing City, Meihua Lane in the south of the city.
Qin Ye, the head of the Qin family, started wandering at the door early in the morning, as if waiting for something.
Ever since he received Jia Hui's invitation at midnight yesterday, he hadn't slept well all night.
I don’t know if Jia Hui came today to discuss getting married or to cancel the engagement.
In the backyard, Qin Keqing was also waiting for Jia Hui's arrival.
Although he had confidence in Jia Hui, the identity of the earl and the carpenter's daughter was like a natural chasm, and she was not sure whether Jia Hui would still be willing to marry her.
Although renouncing a marriage would harm one's reputation, when outsiders hear about the fact that a count has renounced a marriage to the family of a minister, they probably won't think that Jia Hui has done anything wrong.
"Miss, what if your bet is wrong?"
Ruizhu looked sad at the side, as if she didn't believe that Jia Hui was here to discuss marriage.
"Ruizhu, although I don't get along with the Third Young Master much, I believe that I will not misjudge the person. Besides, who in this world would not fall in love with such a wonderful man as the Third Young Master?
I have been studying and learning etiquette since I was a child, and I consider myself to be somewhat talented, so why should I look down upon myself? A noble lady deserves it, why don’t I? "
Speaking of this, Qin Keqing was also a little unconvinced.
Apart from the fact that his father was a carpenter, how could he be inferior to those noble ladies? Why would he give up his wishful husband?
"Come here, come here! Uncle Jia is here!"
As the voice of Baozhu came, Qin Keqing, who was originally so heroic, suddenly began to worry about gains and losses.
"how come?"
Qin Keqing couldn't help but asked.
"Miss, I heard Xiao Mencius say that there is a gorgeous carriage in front, with elite cavalry guards on both sides, and there are several carriages full of goods behind. It looks very majestic! Many people are peeking on both sides. !”
When the three masters and servants were describing the scene when Jia Hui arrived, Jia Hui had already arrived in front of the Qin Mansion and got off the carriage.
"Your Majesty Qin Ye has met your uncle!"
Qin Ye couldn't figure out the purpose of Jia Hui's visit, so he quickly stepped forward to salute, but Jia Hui stretched out his hand to block him.
"My father-in-law, please don't do this, or you will offend your son-in-law!"
Hearing Jia Hui's words, Qin Ye felt excited and the sadness on his face melted away!
"Quick, let's talk at home!"
Understanding what Jia Hui meant, Qin Ye quickly pulled Jia Hui into the home and to the main hall in the backyard, where the two began to chat about home affairs.
Rumors were rampant in the capital some time ago, and it was said that it was the son-in-law's fault, but today he came to apologize to his father-in-law! "
"What the hell, Uncle Zhenwu said something serious!"
"Speaking of it, the little girl has reached a high level. It is normal for outsiders to comment!"
Now with Jia Hui's guarantee, Qin Ye is completely reassured.
Qin Keqing has been smart, filial and polite since she was a child. Now that she has found a good son-in-law, Qin Ye is very happy.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is here today. Firstly, he wants to visit his father-in-law, and secondly, he wants to get his consent and set the wedding date in advance!"
"this......"
Hearing Jia Huide's words, Qin Ye glanced at him doubtfully.
Jia She didn't come today, so how could he go to his in-law's house to discuss the wedding date?
Jia Hui also knew Qin Ye's doubts, so he smiled and explained:
"I'm not afraid of my father-in-law's jokes. Miss Qin is as beautiful as a fairy and well-educated. My son-in-law likes her very much. Now that Chu is unstable, my son-in-law may go out to fight again, so I want to get married as soon as possible."
"There was a lot of criticism in Shenjing City some time ago. My son-in-law didn't know what his father-in-law was thinking, so he came to visit in a hurry. After returning, my father-in-law will ask my father to come to discuss the wedding date!"
After saying that, Jia Hui looked at Qin Ye, only to find that the way he looked at her became even weirder.
"Have Uncle Zhenwu met my little daughter?"
Qin Ye looked at Jia Hui and asked doubtfully.
"Forehead!"
At this time, Jia Hui was a little embarrassed. After all, after two families get married in this generation, they cannot see each other until they enter the bridal chamber.
He couldn't say that Qin Keqing had sent him on an expedition.
"My father-in-law, please forgive me! Before my son-in-law left for the war, he asked someone to find out that Miss Qin went to the Qingxu Temple outside the city to offer incense. Out of curiosity, he took a look at her from a distance. It was very rude. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me!"
In the end, Jia Hui made up a reason and took the blame.
As a man, I have much less restraints than women.
After hearing this, Qin Ye frowned a little, but didn't say anything.
In the back hall, Qin Keqing couldn't hold back his longing for a long time, and quietly took the maid behind the barrier to peek at Jia Hui.
After knowing that Jia Hui had never intended to withdraw from the engagement, he also felt grateful that Jia Hui valued love and justice and found a good son-in-law for himself.
Now that I heard Jia Hui being so considerate, my heart felt even warmer.
It wasn't until Qin Ye took Jia Hui out of the main hall and went to the living room to have a drink that she left the back hall with a sweet heart and returned to her boudoir.
After returning from the Qin Mansion, Jia Hui came to Jia She immediately.
At this time, Jia She was lying on the couch and listening to a tune. The two aunts beside him were still beating Jia She's legs and pinching his shoulders.
Seeing Jia Hui coming, Jia She, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly lost interest.
"Go! Go! Go!"
After waving his hands to drive away the crowd, Jia She asked Jia Hui angrily:
"What are you doing here again?"
To be honest, Jia Hui was quite envious of Jia She's heartless life, but it was a pity that he had a hard life.
"Master, my son's marriage to the Qin family has been completed, but the application date has not been granted. Now that my son has returned to Beijing, I have to worry about the rest of the things!"
"Hmph! You are the current Uncle Wu. Who knows what you will think after you come back. I would say that the identity of the Qin family girl is..."
"master!"
Hearing what Jia She said was wrong, Jia Hui quickly spoke up to stop Jia She.
She also knew that Qin Keqing's identity was different from that of the newly appointed Prince Yizhong of the imperial court, although they were both orphans of the former crown prince.
But one was rescued by the prince's subordinates desperately, and the other was hidden by Jia Daishan and Jia Jing, risking the crime of deceiving the emperor.
They didn't know whether the Supreme Emperor knew Qin Keqing's identity, whether he was loyal or deceitful, but it was just a matter of the Supreme Emperor's thoughts.
Besides, one is a prince and the other is a princess. No one in the Jia family dares to bet on what the Supreme Emperor thinks.
"I know, I'll let someone take care of it. Is there anything else?"
Jia Hui smiled and replied:
"My son is fine. I just heard that the master likes calligraphy and painting on fans. My son happened to find a picture of a beauty from the Western Regions in southern Xinjiang. I wonder if my father likes it!"
"Oh, where is it? Let me see!"
When he heard the calligraphy and painting, Jia She suddenly became happy and started to beg for it from Jia Hui.
"Haha, don't worry, father. My son has been fighting all over southern Xinjiang and has found a lot of good things. But he is still on the way. When he comes to Beijing, he can give them to his father!"
"My son has returned to the capital for the first time. Except for the things his Majesty gave him, he has no other belongings. Today I went to the Qin Mansion and picked out some items from my father's warehouse. I hope my father won't be angry!"
"You...you bastard! You..."
After hearing what Jia Hui said, Jia She was furious.
In the past, he just secretly took away his own collection by choosing armor, but now he even took the things he went to his father-in-law's house from his own warehouse, which was really too much.
"If the father is angry, just beat his son a few times!"
Seeing Jia Hui's expression of letting others do what he wanted, Jia She recalled the time when he had beaten him and was injured.
"Go away, go away! I don't want to see you!"
After Jia Hui left, Jia She came to the front yard again and called Qin Tong, the steward.
"Won't you stop your third master from entering my warehouse to get things?"
Seeing that Qin Tong was confused, he took him to the warehouse and saw that the lock on the warehouse door was missing. When he walked in, he found that several servants guarding the warehouse had been gagged and tied up.
"Master, master, the third master and his soldiers came here before dawn to move things. We really can't stop him!"
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"
Looking at the warehouse that was missing a lot of goods, Jia She was so angry that he almost fell to the ground.
"Master, there is a corner door on the left side of the warehouse that leads directly to the main courtyard of Rong Mansion. People in the courtyard really can't find it!"
Qin Tong's words completely overpowered the last trace of reason in Jia She's heart. He looked up in the direction of Zhengwu Academy and cursed loudly.
