Chapter 698 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 53

Song Jinhuan got more and more excited as he talked, and then he brought up Aunt Shi and Xiao Cui again.

"I must say, Aunt Shi's braised pork is really good!"

As she spoke, she pulled a purse from her sleeve and said with a smile, "Xiao Cui's hands are so skillful; the bamboo embroidery on it is so lifelike!"

Xu Qingyuan glanced at the purse. "Does she know you're a woman?"

I finally got a chance to speak.

Song Jinhuan: "I know, I even told them that you and I are getting married soon!"

Xu Qingyuan felt a pang of jealousy. The young girl was really popular; no matter her status, she was always loved by those around her.

She's incredibly friendly; people often pull her aside to talk to her.

Unfortunately, she was a chatterbox, so he couldn't say much.

I can only vent my anger in private, I'm so angry, so angry, so angry...

Only he knows the truth.

He should look at it from a different angle.

The young woman was his wife.

The lady is liked by many people, and those people, out of love for her, will also like him...

In short, his affection far exceeded that of anyone else; the world couldn't contain it all!

Song Jinhuan had no idea that Xu Qingyuan's inner thoughts had been so rich in such a short time.

At this moment, she couldn't stop wanting to confide in anyone.

"I also went back to the yamen and met the new magistrate and Master Yuan..."

The girl's melodious and clear voice echoed under the moonlight.

The two shadows were stretched long and diagonally across the ground.

After Song Jinhuan returned to the house, he gulped down half a small pot of water.

"Sanjin, I'm so happy today!"

Sanjin prompted, "What makes you happy, host?"

"Because everything has already been arranged properly!"

"After returning to the top scholar's residence, I talked to Xu Qingyuan for so long."

After a moment of silence, Sanjin asked, "Is part of the host's happiness due to returning to the top scholar's residence?"

Song Jinhuan nodded subconsciously, "Yes."

Sanjin: "Why would you be happy to return to the top scholar's residence? Have you thought about that, host?"

Song Jinhuan frowned slightly, "Because this place gives me an inexplicable sense of security, like a fledgling returning to its nest..."

Sanjin was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then why does the Zhuangyuan Mansion give you this feeling? After all, you've spent less time in the Zhuangyuan Mansion than in Anping County."

The girl looked bewildered and exclaimed in surprise, "Sanjin, how strange, Xu Qingyuan's face appeared in my mind!"

Seeing that he had already guided the answer, Sanjin said directly: "The reason why the host is so happy to return to the Zhuangyuan Mansion is because Xu Qingyuan is here."

Song Jinhuan's eyes widened in surprise, and she readily admitted, "Seeing him does make me very happy."

"But my happiness isn't just because I saw him."

Sanjin: "Yes, host is right."

Song Jinhuan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

I feel like anything I say at this point would just be making excuses.

...

On the day she entered the palace to meet the emperor, Song Jinhuan changed into women's clothing and did a lot of dressing up, not to stand out, but just to avoid making a mistake.

Consort Qin and the Empress were both present.

Song Jinhuan greeted them one by one.

Consort Qin said with a sweet laugh, "Scholar Xu is a man of great talent and appearance. I was curious about what kind of woman in the world would be a match for him. Now that I see you, you are truly a perfect couple."

The Empress also smiled softly and said, "Miss Jiang is not only beautiful, but also talented. I believe she will definitely become a virtuous and capable wife to Scholar Xu in the future."

Song Jinhuan felt that the two ladies in front of him were not to be trifled with, so he cooperated and obeyed them throughout.

She accepts whatever they say and never offers any opinion.
