Xiao Jingdao: "So how do you want me to compensate? How about marrying her?"
As he spoke, he was about to take off the jade pendant around his waist.
Cui An was stunned. Obviously, Xiao Jing's reaction was not what he expected.
Soon, he came to his senses and said, "Master Xiao, it's better not to make fun of women's honors."
Xiao Jing looked serious and said, "So what does Miss Cui think? I leave a token to marry you today, okay?"
If these words are sincere, then it is impossible, but they are not all joking, at least there are still two points of seriousness.
Xiao Jing's heart has long been placed on the person beside him, and he doesn't think he will meet anyone more stunning than Yan Liu in the future.
If you take ten thousand steps back, even if you encounter it, it won't be as profound as it is now.
He knew rationally that it was impossible for the two of them to be together. There were too many difficulties for the two of them to be together, and they were far from as comfortable as they were now.
The most important thing is that Yan Liu...she doesn't love herself.
Marry a girl from a high family, marry a woman from a low family.
The Xiao family does not have high requirements for his wife's family background. They only require that the person be filial to his mother-in-law, friendly and loving to his sisters-in-law. Even the upbringing of his children is personally taught by the elders of the family, and his wife does not need to worry about it.
Cui Zuoliang was from a serious imperial examination background. The other members of the Cui family were stupid enough, but they just didn't need him to worry about, and they could be dealt with easily.
He has no requirements for his wife, just like the wives of his peers at home, they are all taught according to the best principles passed down, as long as they are virtuous and gentle.
Even if it really doesn't fit well, just replace it with another one.
Miss Cui Er suspected that she had heard wrongly and stuttered: "You said... that you wanted to... marry me?"
The best thing she could think of was to enter the house as a concubine, but she didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
She was about to agree immediately, but she heard Mrs. Cui say: "Master Xiao, calm down. Young people, don't make decisions on impulse. This engagement still requires the orders of your parents. How can you, a young master who is alone, make the decision."
Mrs. Cui stepped forward and deliberately hit Cui An several times and said, "Look, you are so worried about your sister that you are confused. How can you say that Mr. Xiao deliberately seduced your sister?"
Then he turned to Xiao Jing and said, "Mr. Xiao, what she did today was indeed inappropriate, and what happened today was not what we wanted.
You should also calm down first and don't do anything impulsive that you will regret. "
Yan Liu was stunned for a moment. Was Mrs. Cui winking at him?
What is this going to do?
Mrs. Cui's lips stretched into a straight line. She had long been dissatisfied with the woman sitting at the top. She was an elder and did not bow before entering the door. Now she couldn't even understand the look and didn't know what to do. He tried to calm Xiao Jing's emotions.
This is because you don’t know how to serve others!
Xiao Jing naturally saw Mrs. Cui's actions, and the coldness on his face became even deeper. Everything that happened tonight was like a joke.
Cui Zuoliang has also been a county guard for many years. Why is his family like this? Mrs. Cui's plan is ridiculously shallow.
She just wanted to use this incident to completely suppress Aunt Hua, and also use it to manipulate Xiao Jing and make Xiao Jing give Cui An a future.
Mrs. Cui said: "Today I ask you to be your elder, and I still want to give you a few words of advice.
You are about to take the scientific examination this year, and it is harmful to your reputation to have this kind of thing spread at this time, and it is also her own cleverness.
It's just... the girl's family always suffers a little bit.
You don’t want this to affect your upcoming scientific examination. "
Xiao Jing looked calm and said, "So how should Mrs. Cui deal with it?"
Yan Jing looked strange. Xiao Jing's scientific examination was important whether it was important or unimportant.
According to the rules of his family, all serious children will take the scientific examination and become officials, but there are not no quotas for them, and Xiao Jing's background...
It's okay for his elders to directly recommend him to the emperor and directly appoint him as an official, but his family is particular about following this smooth path.
The worst case scenario is that when Xiao Jinwang entered the court three years later, the route originally planned by the Xiao family for him would have to be re-planned due to time delays.
But there is no way, who told their family to pay attention to being honest and noble.
As the culprit who allowed Xiao Jingwan to enter the court three years ago, or the Cui family who was promoted by Xiao Jing's biological father, what kind of consequences will it bear?
Did Mrs. Cui think about it when she planned this?
And can Mrs. Cui really ensure that she can ruin Xiao Jing's reputation?
Don't say that tonight's matter has nothing to do with Xiao Jing. Even if he designed it to make Miss Cui recommend herself as a pillow, Yan Liu believes that he can get away with it.
Even if he had no way to escape, how could the Xiao family tolerate their behavior? I'm afraid Cui Zuoliang would have been guilty of several crimes before the matter was leaked out.
So what happened tonight was really a joke.
How did they make things so crude?
Mrs. Cui said: "I will take care of this matter, but Mr. Xiao can't completely stay out of it."
Xiao Jing asked again: "So what does Mrs. Cui want me to do?"
Mrs. Cui didn't expect that he didn't even have this tacit understanding. She pulled Cui An who was standing next to her and said: "My child is very talented, and at least he is a county guard, so..."
When Aunt Hua heard this, she loosened her hands and suddenly shouted: "This is compensation for the second girl. If it is to be given, it should be given to the second young master. They are the same mother and father!"
Miss Cui Er didn't expect Aunt Hua to let go, and her upper body fell directly to the ground. Pain flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her soft and charming attitude.
Xiao Jing said calmly: "So you want to give Cui An the position of county guard? Mrs. Cui is too high-minded and looks up to me."
Mrs. Cui said: "Young Master Xiao will definitely achieve great success in the future, but now he wants to send my child to the Imperial Academy in the capital. Isn't this difficult for Young Master Xiao?
As for the county guard... there is no need to rush. I believe this will not be difficult for Young Master Xiao in the future. "
Aunt Hua's eyes were about to burst into flames and she said angrily: "The second young master is the girl's biological brother, so what does this mean? Now he wants to pick peaches again."
She picked up Miss Cui Er who was on the ground, pushed her forward, and said: "My girl has admired you for a long time, Mr. Xiao, you..."
Miss Cui Er was not embarrassed when her biological mother forced her to give her away, and she looked at Xiao Jing with that kind of charm.
Mrs. Cui looked disgusted. She obviously despised Aunt Hua's behavior, but she had no intention of interfering. She forgot that they were a family in front of outsiders.
Cui Zuoliang's carriage suddenly broke down while he was traveling, so he rode the horse pulling the carriage back to Cui Mansion. He almost fell down because he hadn't ridden a horse for many years.
It doesn't matter whether Xiao Jing sees him or not, but he must show that he values him.
So as soon as he arrived at Cui Mansion, he ran straight to Xiao Jing's yard without any pause, leaving behind all the people Mrs. Cui and Aunt Hua had arranged to follow.
When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw such a scene, a scene that often appeared in his house, but the difference was that this time there was an outsider present.
