Chapter 443: Finding a Husband Under the List
Xiao Jiuyue arranged for two maids. The only thing left was to find the beautiful mother Su Su. Once she left, the Xiao family would rely on Su Su to take care of everything. She said, "Mother, this is the house I bought in Shengjing. It's enough for us to stay for the time being."
Xiao Jiuyue took out the title deed and said, "The house is just across the street from the Xiao family. It has three courtyards."
"Yuer, you even bought a house?" Su Su looked at the land deeds handed over by Xiao Jiuyue. The houses next to the Xiao family were all bought by wealthy families, and the prices were extremely high.
"We're not afraid of buying a new house. The Xiao family hasn't been rehabilitated yet, so the previous house doesn't belong to us. We can't just stay in an inn, right? Wouldn't that make people laugh?" Xiao Jiuyue chuckled and said, "Fengchun Tower is already under renovation in Shengjing. I was going to take care of it when I got there, but now mother has to send someone to follow."
"Lian Xin and Luo Kui are both familiar with the restaurant, and Jin Wen is also familiar with the restaurant. When the time comes, we can just follow the previously agreed dishes." Xiao Jiuyue originally thought that the restaurant would open as soon as they arrived in Shengjing, but now, he is afraid that it will not be able to open as scheduled.
Su Su finally understood what Xiao Jiuyue had been busy with these days. It turned out that when they were rushing back to Shengjing, Xiao Jiuyue had already arranged everything in Shengjing.
"Yuer, you are leaving tomorrow. Let's sleep together tonight." Su Su was reluctant to leave Xiao Jiuyue.
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at Xiao Fushi, who was standing next to her like a man waiting for his wife, and whispered in Su Su's ear, "Mom, Dad is the one who misses you. I'd better not monopolize you anymore."
After she finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue turned around and ran away. She had to find Manager Jin. Manager Jin escorted the Xiao family back to Shengjing. Manager Jin was also the most familiar with the affairs in Shengjing.
In an instant, Su Su and Xiao Fu were the only two people left in the room. Xiao Fu walked over, looked at Su Su suspiciously, and put his hand to her forehead and asked, "Suniang, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
"Brother." Su Su turned around and walked towards the dressing table. Taking the opportunity to look in the bronze mirror, she took off all the hairpins on her head.
Xiao Fu slowly came to his senses. Standing behind Su Su, he took the initiative to help her remove her hairpins and rings. Looking at Su Su's blushing face in the bronze mirror, he asked, "Su Niang, what did Yue'er say to you? What made you so embarrassed?"
"Brother!" Su Su quickly removed her hairpins and changed the subject in a flustered manner. "You must take good care of Yue'er when we go to Xiangcheng this time. Although Yue'er is in good health, she is still a delicate girl. Three years ago, she was shot by an arrow for Jiayuan, and she endured the injury to bring us back to Hongdu. She almost..."
Su Su thought about the moment three years ago when she saw Xiao Jiuyue fall down. She was still scared. She said, "Yuer is just stubborn and likes to show off!"
"Su Niang." Xiao Fu reached out and took her into his arms, comforting her, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yue'er. But I'm worried about you guys."
Su Su pounded his chest lightly and said unhappily, "What should we be worried about?"
"So, what did Yue'er say to you?" Xiao Fu lowered his head curiously. Su Niang was shy, but what did his daughter say to her?
Su Su's face turned red again.
…
"Dad, I want to go to Xiangcheng with the eldest daughter." Jin Wu knew that Hua Qing was going to Xiangcheng with him, and immediately said, "Dad, let the eldest brother go back to Shengjing with you, and I have to follow your daughter-in-law."
Daughter-in-law?
Manager Jin looked confused. He had been busy running around in Jiutouzhai for the past two days and really didn't know anything about Jin Wu and Hua Qing.
"Dad, wait a minute." Jin Wu said, and directly pulled Hua Qing over. Jin Wu, who always loved to talk, said a little embarrassedly: "Dad, this is your daughter-in-law, Hua Qing."
"I want to get married when we return to Shengjing!" Jin Wu expressed his plan. Jin Wu held Hua Qing's hand tightly and looked at Manager Jin nervously, fearing that he would disagree.
"Hello, Uncle Jin." Hua Qing knew that Butler Jin was deeply trusted by the eldest lady. She didn't feel uncomfortable meeting Butler Jin before, but now that the relationship between the two had been exposed, Hua Qing seemed a little shy in front of Butler Jin.
"Okay!" Manager Jin smiled, patting Jin Wu on the shoulder. His teeth were showing as he said, "You little brat, you didn't even tell me about this earlier. I could have brought some gifts from Shengjing when the time comes!"
Manager Jin felt around his body and said, "Wait a moment."
As Chief Steward Jin said this, he went back to his room. He came out soon with a pure gold bracelet in his hand. He handed it to Hua Qing and said, "This is the gold bracelet I collected for the two brothers. The bracelets are the same size, but the patterns and engravings are slightly different."
"When we arrive in Shengjing, I will buy shops and houses for both brothers." Manager Jin seemed particularly happy.
When Xiao Jiuyue arrived, he happened to hear these words. Manager Jin said happily: "Miss, I have a daughter-in-law!" Manager Jin was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Once the Xiao family got into trouble, he had no time to think about the marriages of his two sons. Now, before arriving in Shengjing, the marriage of his youngest son has been settled.
"Congratulations." Xiao Jiuyue said with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss." Butler Jin was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He asked, "Miss, it's so late, do you have any instructions?"
Manager Jin reacted belatedly.
Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly and got straight to the point: "Boss Jin, you'll be escorting them to Shengjing this time. You're familiar with the house and the shop, so just make the arrangements when the time comes. By the way, have you arranged for someone to protect Cui Yao?"
"Don't worry, Miss. She is also a little nun. If there is anything wrong with Miss Cui, she will definitely receive the letter." The last time Manager Jin went to Shengjing, he received Xiao Jiuyue's instructions to release someone to the nunnery.
"That's good. Big brother just returned to Shengjing, and it's almost spring planting season. I'm afraid he won't have time to visit Cui Yao." Xiao Jiuyue was actually worried that something might happen to Cui Yao. Therefore, knowing that Cui Yao would rather become a nun than marry and stay with big brother, Xiao Jiuyue wanted to protect her.
If it were the future, when the whole country could be reached in a few hours, she would definitely feel relieved, but now, transportation is too slow.
"By the way, where did Jiang Yu get a job after he won the third place in the imperial examination?" Xiao Jiuyue thought that the letter only mentioned that Jiang Yu won the third place in the imperial examination, but did not mention any more details, so she asked.
Manager Jin was a little hesitant.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at him and asked, "But what went wrong?"
"Lord Jiang is now a Hanlin editor. I heard that the princess is interested in him." Chief Steward Jin's words were not clear, but Xiao Jiuyue understood immediately and asked, "Which princess? The fifth princess or the sixth princess?"
"The Fifth Princess," Chief Steward Jin replied, "There's a rumor in Shengjing that the Fifth Princess has taken a fancy to Lord Jiang and seems to be interested in recruiting him as her consort!"
Catching a son-in-law under the list, it really is...
Xiao Jiuyue was helpless. Rong Xun had angered the princess because he refused to be the princess's consort, so he was exiled from the capital to a remote place like Xunzhou. How could he be willing to live with Jiang Yu?
