Old General Pei strode forward and forced himself to stand in the narrow space in the middle. He was born as a military commander, and he had never stopped practicing martial arts for so many years.

Xie Yan didn't seem to notice, still standing still, Chunyu took a step back tactfully, and only then did the seat become vacant.

Gu Ning's eyes were evasive, but the moment General Pei saw it, she straightened her back and asked solemnly: "Grandfather, why are you here?"

"There are also grandma and uncle." Gu Ning smiled at the door, "Are you here to find me?"

Pei Anlin didn't have the kindness of Old General Pei, his face darkened, he dragged Xie Yan behind him angrily, and said in a muffled voice, "I'll take you to identify someone."

"This is your eldest cousin." When Pei Anlin spoke, he turned his body sideways, giving way to the young man beside him.

The young man was handsome, his features were somewhat similar to Pei Anlin's, he was the eldest son of the Pei family, Pei Jingyuan.

Gu Ning frowned, and shouted at the young man sweetly: "Big cousin!"

Pei Jingyuan smiled, and nodded towards Gu Ning with gentle eyes: "Compared to before, Ning'er is indeed much more lively."

The Eldest Princess likes to hear such words the most, so she nodded at this moment: "That's right, since she didn't put her whole heart on the Third Prince, she is much more pleasing to the eye than before."

The family was chatting and laughing, and Pei Anlin deliberately squeezed Xie Yan into a corner, for a moment, Xie Yan's figure looked very lonely.

When Gu Ning saw him, she immediately thought of the death of Xie Yan's parents and the blood feud. She couldn't bear it in her heart, so she winked at Chunyu and asked Chunyu to bring Xie Yan back.

Pei Anlin saw Gu Ning's small movements at a glance, he coughed, and asked in a deep voice: "Now that your two cousins ​​are in the capital, our family has already gathered, when will your marriage with Xie Yan be put on the agenda? "

Hearing this, Gu Ning's eyes were slightly erratic.

Although she has realized her feelings for Xie Yan, being pointed out in front of her family makes her somewhat shy.

But Xie Yan, who was at the side, came out of his lonely temperament, and his tone was a little eager: "As long as the general doesn't dislike the family background of the lower official, the lower official can do it at any time..."

"Hmph!" Pei Anlin snorted heavily, and instead of admiring Xie Yan before, he raised his eyebrows coldly, "I didn't ask you!"

When he was speaking, he added another sentence: "Marriage is absolutely impossible, at most it's an engagement. Don't even think about getting married before your mess is resolved!"

These words caused the expressions of several people present to vary.

The Eldest Princess grabbed Pei Anlin's arm and pulled him behind her: "Since we are going to discuss an engagement, why do you have to act so viciously? Xie Yan was the one we grew up with, and he has all manners and abilities." They are all leaders of the younger generation, I can rest assured that Ning Er will leave it to him."

"Or, do you have other opinions?" The eldest princess stared at the men of the Pei family, and her eyes wandered back and forth on them.

There was a threat in her gaze, let alone Pei Anlin and Pei Jingyuan, even the old general Pei silently averted his gaze, never daring to refute.

"Since that's the case, this matter is settled." The Eldest Princess made a final decision, "Xie Yan is a good boy, I can rest assured that Ning'er will leave it to him."

"Choose an auspicious day, and let's settle this marriage."

"Okay." Old General Pei was the first to react, and the voice of agreement was very loud, "I will ask the master of Baohua Temple to count the days! Even if Ning'er is engaged, we must choose the best day!"

Pei Anlin nodded reluctantly, but looked at Xie Yan still full of hostility.

Gu Ning didn't care so much, in this family, as long as the eldest princess and the old general Pei made a decision, no one can change it. In this way, her marriage with Xie Yan is completely settled.

She was delighted in her heart, and looked at these closest relatives with crooked eyebrows. Those melancholy and worries about the future seemed to be left behind at this moment.

Xie Mansion is right next door to Pei Mansion. As soon as Xie Yan got the permission of the eldest princess, he almost didn't look back, and went to the mansion. Gu Ning was left behind by him.

Just when Gu Ning was stunned, Yue Ming took a few steps back and said in a low voice: "The master is so happy, he is thinking about preparing the dowry!"

Gu Ning raised the tails of his eyes, rolled his eyeballs, and strode forward: "Since it's a dowry gift for me, I must like it! I'll go and see it too!"

"Ning'er..." Before Pei Anlin could finish speaking, Gu Ning was already holding up the hem of her skirt, running towards the door like a fluttering butterfly.

Seeing her like this, the sorrow in Pei Anlin's heart was on his face: "Mother, you just watched Ning'er plunge in? Anyang, but..."

"Ning'er is not Anyang, she is smart." The eldest princess chuckled, looked at the three men with sad faces, and reminded, "Ning'er will eat the Xie Ban to death, just wait and see." .”

Old General Pei stomped his feet heavily, and said angrily: "It's best like this! If he betrays Ning'er for the thank you banquet, the Chu family's country..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked out of the door sullenly.

The eldest princess said to him: "Could it be a good choice to marry the third prince? I haven't forgotten that you praised the third prince so much, what happened in the end?"

When Old General Pei heard this, he immediately closed his mouth, waved his hands, and said in a muffled voice, "I can't say no to you!"

"It's clear that you didn't understand." The Eldest Princess sneered, "Don't cover yourself up with a fig leaf."

Seeing his parents arguing, Pei Anlin shrunk his neck subconsciously. When he realized that his son was still by his side, he returned to his usual majestic appearance, and said to Pei Jingyuan, "Let's go back first."

Pei Jingyuan smiled, and replied politely: "Everything is under the arrangement of my father."

……

Here, Gu Ning followed Xie Yan to Xie Mansion.

Xie Yan seemed to be still immersed in the joy just now, he didn't realize that Gu Ning was beside him at all, he saw him walking towards the warehouse without looking back, and while walking, he ordered the people around him: "Go and put all the things away. Get ready, you must find out what the county lord likes, and send all the gems I have privately collected to the jewelry shop, and make jewelry according to the county lord's preferences, and those fabrics, all the old ones are not wanted."

Xie Yan had never talked so much before, he seemed to be ordering his subordinates to do things in an orderly manner, but in fact there was tension in his tone, if Gu Ning was not familiar with his character, he might not have noticed it.

"Cough cough!" Gu Ning coughed lightly and reminded, "You don't even send someone to ask me, how do you know what I like?"

Gu Ning's voice rang in his ears, and Xie Yan stopped in the next moment.

He was like a stupefied young man, no longer the stability and coldness of the past, a pair of phoenix eyes shone with dazzling light, and he just looked at Gu Ning steadfastly.

In the eyes of many servants of the Xie family, he did something that he dared not do in Pei's mansion just now. He strode forward and hugged Gu Ning into his arms with such force that he seemed to want to Integrate Gu Ning into his own flesh and blood.

"Ning'er." He hugged Gu Ning tightly, his thin lips opened and closed, and there was a rapid breathing sound, "I will definitely treat you well."

"In this life..." he murmured, "I only have you as a wife in this life."

Xie Yan spoke in a low voice, regardless of how much impact this sentence had on the people around him, except for Gu Ning, everyone including Brother Yue Ming and Yue Rong froze in place.

And Gu Ning accepted it well, and solemnly said: "I also promise to you, as long as you don't violate this promise, I will only have you as my husband in this life."

"But..." Gu Ning narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and threatened Xie Yan's ear with a very low voice, "If you break the promise, I will not only raise a whole yard of noodles, but also take your ...was scrapped."

Those who can follow Xie Yan's side are those with profound internal skills. Although Gu Ning lowered his voice, they could hear it very clearly.

Yue Ming tightened his legs and looked at his younger brother Yue Rong, only to see that Yue Rong also looked frightened, and they took a step back in unison.

"As expected of the master." Yue Rong said in a low voice, "He who dares to marry the county master must be courageous!"

They had heard about the family rules of the Pei family, but it was at this moment that they really saw the rules of the family.

But different from them, Xie Yan accepted Gu Ning's threat very well, his face did not change too much, and he still looked at Gu Ning gently: "Okay."

"I'm afraid Ning'er won't be able to have this opportunity." He had a rare smile on his face, his phoenix eyes were as gentle as water, and Gu Ning was the only one in his eyes.

Gu Ning held Xie Yan's hand, and the two of them clasped their fingers tightly. The atmosphere between them made others dare not get close.

……

Outside the Tai Chi Hall.

The scorching sun was on Chu Yunyi's head, and the sweat dripped down from his forehead, looking very embarrassed.

Gu Qingqiu next to him didn't give in, her strands of hair stuck to her face, but she gritted her teeth, and kept her hands by her side without moving.

The couple knelt outside the Taiji Hall, and never got up despite the strange gazes of the ministers and palace people.

In the hall, the emperor rubbed his frowning brows, feeling his heart beating even harder.

"They haven't left yet?"

"Still kneeling outside."

Li Dehai answered cautiously, lest he offend the emperor with a certain sentence.

Although the emperor frowned, there was not much anger in his eyes.

After a while, his expression softened: "It seems that under my precepts and deeds, Yun Yi has not contracted the Jiang family's bad habits!"

Hearing this, Li Dehai agreed and said: "Third Prince's blood is yours, it's the blood of the Tian family, so how could he be influenced by the Jiang family?"

"Yes." The emperor was very satisfied, and kept nodding, "It seems that he can still be saved if he can stand up and intercede for the Jiang family at such a time!"
