He usually wears plain colors, which always gives people a sickly feeling of weakness.
The scarlet color made him look good and energetic. Lian Suisui preferred a healthy complexion and praised him sincerely.
"Young man wearing fresh clothes and angry horse, this is what it smells like!"
With the betrothal gifts piled up all over the yard, Chu Zhiyi raised his eyebrows and said, "I have given the list of betrothal gifts to Madam Lian a long time ago, but I have not prepared it until now. I hope Lord Lian and Madam will not be offended."
Are these the betrothal gifts for him to marry himself?
Lian Suisui blushed and glared at him before getting into the carriage before he could.
Chu Zhiyi's carriage was in front. Women were mostly hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and were valued by others. Lian Suisui was moved and his vanity was so high that he quietly opened the curtain and looked outside.
With such a large formation, the people on the street stopped and watched with envy as their team passed by.
"Miss Lian San is really lucky. The Ninth Prince really wants to marry her!"
Some people on the street were drooling with envy.
"With that kind of reputation, can you marry into the royal family? Come on, let's try our luck!"
"Come on, there were so many killers that time. Didn't you hide so far away that you didn't even dare to look? The opportunity is in front of you. Who do you have to blame? It was Miss Lian San who rescued the Ninth Prince regardless of the danger. Yes, I deserve to be a princess now! Enjoy this incredible wealth..."
"Oh, I heard... whoever gets to the top relies on stripping off their clothes... Hush!"
It's not a good thing to have too good ears. Lian Suisui put down the curtain angrily, and the women gathered together and talked vividly. If the protagonist hadn't been herself, she would have almost believed it!
"I should slap those two bitches in the face! Bah!"
"Miss, why are you so angry with some vulgar village women? They are just envious!"
that is!
Lian Suisui's vanity emerged again and he asked uncertainly: "Xiao Tao, do you think this betrothal gift is the only one in the capital?"
Their carriage had already turned the corner and reached the next street corner, and the tail of the bride price behind it had not yet been seen.
"Of course forget it!"
Xiao Tao was as excited as if she was getting married, "After today, if anyone laughs at you again, just ask them how much dowry their husband's family gave them when they got married or when they got engaged!"
This...how rude!
"Who told us that we all like to use this comparison when we go to the capital!"
Xiaotao is confident.
"I think the Ninth Prince is very kind to you. In order to support you, I emptied all my family resources. I also saw the Ninth Prince pawn all his personal jade pendants this morning..."
As a jade pendant?
Xiao Tao nodded firmly.
"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes. The Ninth Prince asked Shu Ying to take the jade pendant and enter a pawn shop."
…
Time goes back one hour.
"Master, that person's mouth was pried open. They have something hidden in Renhe Pawnshop. Renhe Pawnshop is the property of Prime Minister Guo, and his subordinates dare not alert others."
Chu Zhiyi casually pulled off the jade pendant from his body and handed it to him.
"Pawn my jade pendant. A few days later, I will send someone to Jingzhao Yamen to report the case. I will say that my jade pendant is lost."
…
"But Shuying didn't go there by himself. He handed it over to a young boy. The servant even saw the young boy bring back a bag of silver and give it to Shuying."
Xiao Tao said with emotion: "The Ninth Prince is so pitiful. In order to marry the princess, he has to use it as his own jade pendant. I have seen that jade pendant before. The prince often wears it. It should be something he truly loves."
Lian Suisui hit her on the head.
"Don't ask about things that shouldn't concern you!"
She remembered that Chu Zhiyi had said a long time ago that he had a caravan in his name, so he shouldn't be so poor...
However, the province still needs to save money.
After receiving the post early in the morning, Lian Fangyu and Qin didn't dare to ask for help, so they greeted him at the door.
"Mother! Fourth sister!"
Lian Suisui got off the carriage and ran over, coquettishly leaning her head on Qin's shoulder.
She has a rosy complexion and looks well-raised.
"I've been disturbing the prince these days."
Lian Fangyu stepped aside and said, "Please come in quickly."
Chunwei has three major exams in seven days, and today is only the second day, and Lian Jialiang and Lian Jiaying are not at home.
Lian Suisui shamelessly sat in the living room and listened to her parents discussing her marriage with Chu Zhiyi.
According to the rules, she shouldn't have appeared here, but she had lived in the Ninth Prince's Mansion before her marriage, so it didn't matter if she behaved or not.
"I am not a man of rules. I am very sorry that I have ruined the reputation of the third lady. On the basis of the original betrothal gift, I have increased it by 30%. This is the gift list. Please take a look at it, Mr. Lian and Mrs. Lian."
Taking over the responsibility of even Suisui living in his house, how could Lian Fangyu and Qin be dissatisfied.
Lian Fangyu almost couldn't hide his smile.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome, it's my daughter who is trying to climb up..."
"As for the wedding date..." Chu Zhiyi paused and glanced at Lian Suisui, "I am not young now and want to get married as soon as possible. I wonder if there are any difficulties on Master Lian's side."
Even Suisui is not young anymore. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, she will become an old girl if she doesn't get married.
The two parties hit it off immediately, and no one asked Lian Suisui, who was the rightful owner, to settle their marriage in front of her.
"Congratulations to the third sister!"
Lian Xiaoxiao was really happy for Lian Suisui. Lian Fangyu and Qin Shi entertained Chu Zhiyi in the front yard. Lian Suisui returned to his yard, and the whole yard was full of spring.
She has been living here since time travel. After getting married, she will have to change places, and she feels reluctant to let go.
"cousin."
Xia Jing'er, dressed in a spring shirt, poked her head in from outside the door. Lian Suisui was in a trance for a moment. Her face turned a little yellow, but other places were no different from before.
"What are you doing here?"
No matter how much Xia Jing'er shows weakness, even Suisui won't be able to have a good impression of her.
"Don't get me wrong, cousin, it's the prince who wants to see you."
The jealous look in Xia Jing'er's eyes flashed away.
"The prince has something to ask you."
It took Lian Suisui a moment to realize that the prince she was referring to was Prince Cheng.
She almost forgot that she was engaged to King Cheng.
Why did you come to see her at this juncture?
"Your Majesty came back with me to visit my aunt today. It happened that my cousin came back and I wanted to meet her. There are women in the backyard, so it's not convenient. Please move on."
Since when did King Cheng talk about etiquette like this?
Lian Suisui suffered a loss once and said cautiously: "No, if you have anything to say, just say it here."
Xia Jing'er kept looking outside the door. That bitch Cheng Wang was obviously outside, but he still pretended to let Xia Jing'er come in and ask her.
King Cheng coughed lightly and stood outside the door.
"This is my cousin's boudoir after all. Let's go outside and talk in the garden."
Xia Jing'er reached out to pull Lian Suisui.
"Stop nagging, I'm not familiar with you!"
Lian Suisui walked around the two of them and walked to the front. The apricot tree in the garden was in bloom, and the pale pink petals were gently blown by the wind and fell on her hair.
She stopped in front of a tree.
"If you have anything to say, you can say it now."
Her attitude was cold. King Cheng glanced at Xia Jing'er. Xia Jing'er stepped away unwillingly and stopped ten steps away.
"Did you agree to marry the emperor's uncle to take revenge on me?"
After breaking off the engagement, even Suisui hid in the capital for several months. Every time he met the two of them, he never had a chance to talk.
Lian Suisui has undergone a radical transformation. Standing under the flower tree, she is more dazzling than the flowers on the tree. The way she ignores her is particularly attractive.
King Cheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he was actually looking forward to her answer.
Lian Suisui looked shocked.
"Our marriage has been called off for more than half a year, my lord, are you still not relieved?"
She really never thought that he would get involved.
