Why Zhu Fu went to eavesdrop on Gongsun Yu's conversation was indeed guessed by Gongsun Yu. He was suspicious of them, evasive in his words, and didn't care if his horse was lost. He also mentioned going to the capital. Now everyone knows that it was during the confrontation between the two armies, and the capital also heard about it. It's not peaceful, and the senior tiger looks too much like the portrait person, and he is seriously injured... It seems that their temperament and conversation are not like ordinary people, so in order to find out, find a bold colleague to go and find out. Unexpectedly, I almost lost my life.

When Zhu Fu and the others entered the room, several other colleagues were chatting with questions. Zhu Fu and Zhang Jiao who accompanied him were drinking tea and breathing heavily. Zhang Jiao said, "I was scared to death. I almost died when I came back." .”

When the others heard this, they immediately gathered around. One person said, "Are they really spies from an enemy country?"

Zhu Fu immediately interrupted, "There are no results yet. I'm just suspicious. It doesn't look like an enemy spy. If Zhang Jiao and I were to come back alive, we would be dead."

Zhang Jiao complained to Zhu Fu, "Brother Zhu Fu, you didn't say that their behavior was suspicious, but I had the courage to go with you, and it turned out that they were discussing marriage."

Zhu Fu was also stupid and couldn't tell what they felt was wrong. He yelled angrily, "Aren't they coming again tonight? Let's pay close attention to them."

Other colleagues were surprised when they heard this and asked, "What, do you want them to come at night?"

Zhu Fudao said, "It's not that Zhang Jiao was afraid and said we were here to invite them."

Gongsun Yu, Gao Yan, Qi'er, Yu Zhu and Luan Yue followed Zhu Fu into his house.

Zhu Fu's house was simple and clean. When he entered the house, he saw a table of sumptuous dishes. At this time, an old woman came over with fish soup and said, "We have another guest? Come sit down." She put down the fish soup and warmly greeted Gongsun Yu and the others to sit down.

Zhu Fu supported her and said, "Mom, aren't you allowed to cook? I asked Uncle Zhang for food. If you have been suffering from leg pain recently, please stop doing anything."

Aunt Zhu said, "I didn't do anything. I heard that your friends are from the capital. I cooked our fish for them and let them try it." After that, she said, "You guys sit down and eat. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." , and even steamed some steamed buns!" Then he limped out and went out.

Zhu Fu looked distressed, and Qi'er thought that she had injured her leg in Heizeya. When Gongsun Yu applied medicine to her at night, he said that the medicine had a miraculous effect on the pain. I couldn't help but look at Gongsun Yu.

Gongsun Yu seemed to understand and said to Zhu Fu, "I came in a hurry and without any courtesy. This is developed by the government and has a miraculous effect on pain. You can rub it on your mother, it may help."

Zhu Fu didn't know that truth and falsehood worked, so he just went with it to save face.

Everyone took their seats one after another, and they were awkward and awkward at first, not knowing what to say. Later, Qi'er asked Zhu Fu why he invited everyone to drink.

Then they started chatting. Zhu Fu said that he was going to the capital as an errand, and several of his buddies came over to do it. As the crowd chatted, the number of words increased.

Qi'er kept drinking the fish soup, Lianlian nodded, Gongsun Yu watched Qi'er slowly sipping the fish soup like a greedy cat, and couldn't help but scoop up a spoonful to taste.

Gongsun Yu and Gao Yan were talkative people originally, but now they are even less talkative. Qi'er was the only one who could chat with them, and those who didn't know would think that Qi'er and them had been friends for many years.

Zhu Fu poured wine for everyone. Qi'er saw that everyone was drinking. The fish soup was not enough. Qi'er also said, "Pour me a glass too."

Qi'er's words made Zhu Fu look at her with surprise and suspicion. Gongsun Yu suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly grabbed the wine bowl from Qi'er's hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Sit down quickly."

At this time, Zhu Fu and other colleagues looked at them with rare tacit understanding, especially Qi'er.

Qi'er felt uncomfortable being looked at and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zhu Fu said without thinking, "Girl, are you really pregnant?"

Qi'er didn't expect Zhu Fu to ask this question, but he had to be honest when he lied, so he said firmly, "Of course."

Zhu Fu asked, "Do you think we are stupid if you drink while pregnant?" Qi'er paused and said what he said just now, which was really careless. Someone asked, "You don't look like you are pregnant, either?"

Qi'er said, "I'm just pregnant, so naturally I can't tell."

Zhu Fuhu asked, "You brothers and sisters, one is seriously injured, and the other..." But the words didn't come out, because you don't look like a pregnant person.

After hearing this, Qi'er said angrily, "What do you mean? Do you doubt that I will blow up my marriage?" After saying this, it seemed that he was blowing up his marriage, which had nothing to do with Gongsun Yu, but after saying this, how could he change it?

Qi'er said firmly, "I'm just pregnant. It's normal not to notice the first three or four months of pregnancy, okay?" After saying that, he touched his flat belly and felt instantly embarrassed.

Gongsun Yu also stood up quickly, grabbed Qi'er's hand and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't think about this well. Since the eldest brother has agreed to your marriage, I will betrothal with jade." He took off a piece of emerald green from his neck. He looked at the jade unicorn and said affectionately, "This is the jade pendant passed down from my Gongsun family. I am hiring jade today, will it live up to your love?"

"Heirloom?" Qi'er naturally knew the meaning. This meant recognizing that she was the young lady of the Gongsun family. This was much more valuable than any betrothal gifts from three matchmakers and six betrothals, but acting was too expensive, right?

But then I thought about whether Gongsun Yu was afraid that Zhu Fu would find out his identity, so he used this trick, but...but he was also afraid that Zhu Fu would doubt him...it was a fake marriage anyway, so why not agree?

Gao Yan and others were shocked, wondering whether Gongsun Yu was trying to dispel Zhu Fu's concerns or was it true?

At this time, Aunt Zhu also entered the house with steamed buns. She had heard everything just now. Seeing that Qi'er did not pick up the jade pendant, she kindly came over and said, "Girl, since this young master is interested, please agree quickly. If you don't agree, you will have a child out of wedlock... You hurry up." Just agree." Aunt Zhu looked embarrassed but kindly reminded her.

Seeing his mother's embarrassment, Zhu Fu also urged, "Promise quickly. If he goes back on his word, you will suffer the consequences in the future."

Qi'er looked at Gongsun Yu still lovingly holding the jade pendant waiting for her to accept it, as if he was proposing, and thought to himself: How great would it be if this were true?

Qi'er carefully took the jade pendant and looked closely at the jade pendant, which was warm, shiny and carefully crafted. Every scale on the unicorn was clearly visible. The unicorn inside felt like it was alive. At first glance, it was an excellent jade pendant. Qi'er secretly raised her eyes to see the slight smile on Gongsun Yu's lips. He was obviously very happy?

Gongsun Yu saw Qi'er rubbing the jade pendant in his hand and said, "I'll put it on for you!" He took the jade pendant from Qi'er's hand and put it on Qi'er's neck.

Zhu Fu took a look at the jade unicorn. It was exquisitely carved and shiny. He said deliberately, "Since you already have a betrothal gift, when will you pay your respects?"

No one answered at this time.

Qi'er was a little panicked and said, "Isn't the worship a bit hasty?"

Zhu Fu saw that he was getting more and more evasive and suspicious, and said, "How can a pregnant woman not be in a hurry to worship?" He looked at Qi'er carefully again, turned around and asked Gao Yan, "I said, uncle, you are from your mother's family, what do you mean? Are you anxious?"

Gao Yan was helpless and reluctantly said, "The sooner the better, of course. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for a woman to be criticized for her innocence. But... we are just passing through here temporarily. We should wait until we get married in the capital."

Zhu Fu looked at Gao Yan carefully and said, "You seem reluctant?"

Qi'er also said, "Yeah, we don't have a decent place, so let's go back to the capital."

Zhu Fu looked at Qi'er and said helplessly, "Girl, did I say you were stupid? Or is there another reason?"

"How did you say this?"

"Look at the young man who is dressed gorgeously. He may have wives and concubines at home. If you don't agree now, so that you can give the child in your belly a title, what will happen if he goes back and refuses to admit it? Do you know...if a woman raises a child? My child... it's really hard, I'm doing it for your own good." Zhu Fu whispered to Qi'er.

Qi'er glanced at him and whispered, "Didn't you still suspect that I was going to blow up my marriage just now? Why did you kindly remind me again?"

Zhu Fu said, "Hey, I actually do it for your own good. It's really hard for a woman to raise a child and be criticized." He said a little sad.

Gongsun Yu felt that this Zhu Fu was a bit silly and cute, and said, "Brother Zhu, please rent a suitable courtyard. The ninth day of the lunar month is a good day."

Zhu Fu was instantly shocked by Gongsun Yu's reply. Could it be that his suspicion was wrong? It's impossible. I just think they are not ordinary people. They must be trying to trick me? A little embarrassed, he said, "It's okay to rent another courtyard. We have a courtyard behind us. The tenant just left last month. You can just move in tomorrow."

"It's still the ninth day of the lunar month. It will last forever."

Qi'er didn't enter the state at all, and said with a silly smile, "Do you still believe this?"

"Seeking good luck!" He looked at Qi'er affectionately.

Qi'er still wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but everyone in the audience congratulated her, but Gao Yan's chest hurt even more when he tried.

Early the next morning, Zhu Fu came to see Gongsun Yu. First, he thanked him for the medicine he gave his mother, which worked well and made his mother's legs less painful. Second, he rented the house in their backyard and gave the key to Gongsun Yu. .

He also said that he had told his mother that the neighbors would help, but he would not participate since he had to go on duty.

Gongsun Yu took the key given by Zhu Fu and dragged Qi'er out to buy wedding items. Qi'er was dragged up forcefully and said sleepily, "It's just a casual purchase, it's not a real wedding."

Gongsun Yu grabbed Qi'er and said, "What if I am serious?"

Qi'er was a little cautious and deliberately looked at him sideways and said, "I don't even know what to buy?"

Gongsun Yu said, "Of course you can't worry about this. I've asked Luan Yue to go find Aunt Zhu with the money. You can just wash up and pick out a bridal dress that you like with Yuzhu."

On this day, Qi'er, Gongsun Yu, and Yuzhu only chose clothes and helped Qi'er choose rouge and jewelry. Gongsun Yu was not very busy. Qi'er thought Gongsun Yu was just coping, so he didn't ask any questions.

Yuzhu looked at Gongsun Yu seriously helping Qi'er choose jewelry. He looked like a sweet young couple. She seemed to be superfluous, following him as close as possible.
