The yard, which had been relatively quiet, was now surrounded by villagers, all of whom were eagerly looking forward to seeing them.
Zhu Yong squeezed through the crowd and came over. Standing in front of the dejected Jiang Wuli, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Wuli lifted his eyelids and said helplessly, "The Emperor has granted marriage to Jiang Kexin and Young Master Liu and ordered a date to be chosen for the wedding."
This so-called date was calculated by Ge Shuzhen for Jiang Xin. Unexpectedly, the marriage was finally given to Xiaojiu. This was something not only Jiang Wuli did not expect, but even the main person did not expect it.
When the villagers heard that Kexin was being married off to the Liu family in the town, they cheered and came forward to congratulate her.
"Congratulations, Village Chief! Congratulations, Village Chief! The Liu family is a wealthy family. With the Emperor's marriage sanction, our Jiu'er will be the legal wife when she marries him. She will have a comfortable life and a smooth life."
"Young Master Liu is also a handsome man, and our Jiu'er is smart and capable. The two of them are truly a match made in heaven, a perfect match."
The villagers actually chose some nice words to praise him, and it seemed that they had almost used up all the literary knowledge they had. Jiang Wuli was in no mood to joke with everyone at this moment.
Others don't know what Liu Feiyang is like now, but he knows that how can a person who has been poisoned and is terminally ill be a good match for his granddaughter? If she marries him, she might even kill the dying person.
Jiang Wuli waved his hand towards the villagers in the yard and said, "Everyone, please leave first. My family needs to discuss the wedding. I don't have time to take care of you today. Please forgive me."
Zhu Yong patted Jiang Wuli's shoulders twice and said with a smile, "We all understand. When Kexin gets married, we will definitely come to buy some wedding candy."
Jiang Wuli nodded, waved to the villagers, and then asked Jiang Fu to close the door. The whole family gathered in the house, looking at the delicious dishes on the table. The more they looked, the more upset they felt.
Cao Zhaodi and Ye Xia were quite considerate. They quickly cleared the table, poured some water, and then stood quietly in the corner.
Ke Xin looked at everyone's concern and smiled at them, "The father-in-law who delivered the decree said that the fifth day of November is a good date. I think the Liu family has also heard this news. I don't know how to make wedding clothes, so my two sisters-in-law can help me make them."
Cao Zhaodi and Ye Xia quickly agreed: "Well, this matter is up to us two."
Jiang Wuli's cloudy eyes looked at Ke Xin, who was calm and composed. "Jiu'er, the emperor has granted us such a big marriage, how come Mr. Liu didn't inform us in advance? We were all caught off guard."
She also wanted to know why she was granted marriage, and why it came so suddenly.
Just when he was wondering, there was another round of noise outside, beating drums and gongs. The closed wooden door was opened again. Jiang Wuli rubbed his brows and stood up: "What's going on again?"
Jiang Wu, who was leaning against the door, took a look at the situation in the yard and said, "Liu Feiyang came with something."
He is coming?
Jiang Kexin looked out the window and saw that he was indeed wearing a red brocade robe, walking in front with a smile on his face. She withdrew her gaze indifferently and followed the adults in the family out of the house.
Liu Feiyang greeted Jiang Kexin with a smile on his face, his mind and eyes filled with the person in front of him. He stretched out his hand to hold hers, but felt it was inappropriate and withdrew it awkwardly.
"Kexin, I'm here to propose."
Jiang Kexin watched the people behind her constantly placing boxes on the open space in the yard. She turned to look at Liu Feiyang and was about to ask what was going on when a couple walked in from behind.
Ge Shuzhen knew Han Ruyue. She stepped forward with a forced smile and greeted her, "Mrs. Liu."
In contrast to the forced smile on Ge Shuzhen's face, Han Ruyue's face was very happy. She held her hand and said, "Sister, we meet again. Come, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Liu Xu."
Ge Shuzhen nodded towards Liu Xu and moved her mouth. She wanted to call him "father-in-law", but she remembered that this was the country people's way of addressing him, and that this marriage was not what her family wanted, so she greeted him politely: "Hello, Master Liu."
After that, she introduced her husband to Liu Xu: "This is my husband, Ke Xin's father, Jiang Yongtian."
Liu Xu's face was pensive as he nodded towards the couple, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, Hello, Madam Jiang." He then looked at the people around him, and finally his gaze fell on the young couple who had been granted marriage. He turned his gaze and met Jiang Yongtian's eyes and said, "Let the two children talk alone for a while, and we adults will discuss the wedding."
Jiang Yongtian glanced at Kexin, then nodded and moved aside to make a gesture of invitation: "I am a lucky finder at home. I am afraid that I may have treated Mr. Liu poorly. Please forgive me."
Liu Xu frowned barely perceptibly, but replied calmly, "Master Jiang is joking."
The elders all went into the house. Jiang Fu led his younger brothers to work, while Ke Xin took Liu Feiyang to the greenhouse in the backyard. Vegetable seedlings had already grown in it, and the strawberries were growing well and were about to bloom.
In the huge tent, Ke Xin walked in front without saying a word. He grabbed Ke Xin's hand and explained anxiously: "I didn't take the initiative to ask the emperor for this marriage. You have to believe me."
Ke Xin stopped, turned around and looked up at him intently: "Who is that?"
Liu Feiyang was silent for a moment before he said, "He's my cousin."
Prince Huairou?
"My cousin knew I was poisoned and there was no cure. He was afraid my lineage would be destroyed, so he wanted to marry me off to bring good luck and, secondly, to leave offspring. The girls in the capital knew I was unlucky with wives, and he learned you were unlucky with husbands, and...he went to the emperor to ask for permission to marry."
Ke Xin frowned slightly: "And what?"
I like you! But he couldn't say these three words, his face flushed and he turned away, his eyes looking elsewhere.
If he could understand that the nervousness in his heart was love before he was poisoned, he would have said it without hesitation, but now this body...
If Qi Lu really couldn't make the antidote, he would let her go after his death, and she could live a good life with the compensation money.
"It's nothing, I just want you to understand that an arranged marriage is not what I want." But I really want to marry her.
Ke Xin uttered an "oh" and lowered her eyes: "I understand."
"However, after getting married, I still want to live in my parents' home."
Since it was a wedding to bring good luck, she just had to go through the process and put on a show for the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. After that, she imagined herself returning to her parents' home to live as before. In fact, she didn't know how to get along with Liu Feiyang.
They used to be partners, or even friends, but this identity change was too fast and she couldn't accept it at all. Especially after experiencing the double betrayal of her best friend and fiancé, she no longer trusted men.
Liu Feiyang felt quite disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't want to make her unhappy, so he replied dully: "Okay."
For a moment, both of them fell silent. Liu Feiyang followed behind the lecturer, looking at the vegetable seedlings in the field. He had to admire her cleverness. She was growing vegetables in the winter, and using such a simple greenhouse.
The strawberries on the edge of the field are growing well. I guess we will be able to eat strawberries before the New Year. She is not bragging.
