Ayu returned to Cao Jiong and the other two.

Xu Ying asked urgently: "Ayu, what do you say to Uncle Wu?"

Ayu, who had not asked anything, had to shake his head and said helplessly: "He only said something was wrong."

Xu Ying couldn't help but glared at Cao Jiong. Uncle Wu was the most straightforward and sensible. It must have been Cao Jiong who offended Uncle Wu.

If Xu Ying hadn't given her face to the two cousins, she would have wanted to leave.

Cao Pei relieved the atmosphere in time: "Okay, okay, let's go up the mountain and take a good place soon."

Cao Jiong was also unintentional to be angry with Xu Ying, and he has just exposed this.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Ayu looked for an opportunity to ask his brother alone: ​​"Second brother, what happened to you just now?"

Cao Jiong wanted to remind his sister to stay away from the old man Xu Qian, and hummed, "He coveted you, but I was so angry that I left."

Ayu:...

So, was Xu Qian who had been watching her and was discovered by his second brother?

She lowered her head, not knowing whether she would be happy about Xu Qian's feelings anymore, but she should be bothered by her second brother and drove Xu Qian away.

Cao Jiong couldn't see her expression and thought she was afraid, so he immediately promised: "Don't worry, don't go to the Xu family in the future, just don't give him a chance to get close."

Ayu couldn't express his feelings and whispered: "Second brother is wrong, my fifth cousin is not that kind of person."

Cao Jiong was straightforward and said angrily: "Isn't that kind of person? Chu Tiankuo likes you. I want to come to our family to propose marriage. I haven't objected yet. He compared him with Chu Tiankuo and asked who is better and less about his appearance and identity. Humph, he usually looks hypocritical, but he didn't expect that he is a guy with Chu Tiankuo, and his face is thicker than the city wall."

Ayu, who finally knew the truth, was stunned. How could Xu Qian say that kind of thing?

Compared with Xu Qian's straightforwardness, it doesn't matter when Chu Tiankuo fell in love with her.

Ayu looked down at the mountain, and through the layers of fiery red maple leaves, she seemed to see Xu Qian's slender and upright figure.

"What are you looking at?" Cao Jiong tilted his head and saw his sister staring at the foot of the mountain, with bright almond eyes, and seemed to be a little happy. He asked strangely.

A Yu originally wanted to be more reserved, but Xu Qian stood up and drove away other people who liked her. What was she telling her brother about her?

After blushing, Ayu whispered to his brother: "Fifth cousin, he has a handsome appearance and a noble identity. It is my honor to really like me."

After saying that, Ayu turned around and ran away, hid back to Cao Pei and Xu Ying.

Cao Jiong stood there blankly.

What my sister means is that she also likes Xu Qian?

Why did he suddenly fall in love with him? Usually, the fifth cousin and the fifth cousin called him a kiss, and he took Xu Qian to care about his master in the blink of an eye?

Cao Jiong could not understand the change in his sister's attitude.

After returning home with the Maple Leaf, Cao Jiong thought about it more and more that the matter was a bit serious, but he had not been too rigid to reveal his sister's little thoughts in front of his stepmother. Forget it, go and discuss with his elder brother!

Cao Lian came back in the evening, so Cao Jiong went to rest first.

Ayu also hid in the boudoir alone and couldn't wait to take out the birthday gift that Xu Qian gave her.

There is only one small tip, which is very suitable for "private teaching" to hide in your sleeves.

After opening the tip, Ayu poured it into his palm and a fat carp pendant fell out.

Ayu's eyes lit up.

It was a fat carp carved with Hetian topaz, with its head, body, tail and scales carved very finely. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is lifelike. However, this fat carp of Hetian topaz is much fatter and cuteer than live fish. Ayu looked around and played with it for a long time. The more he looked, the more he liked it, the more he laughed. Especially the outer layer of the jade pendant, it was crystal clear, giving people a sense of freshness that the fat carp was caught out of the water.

The jade pendant is also made of topaz beads, but the few close to the center of the jade pendant are red jade, and the orange and bright red color combination is fresh and brilliant.

Ayu really likes it.

Moreover, fish and fish are homophones, Xu Qian is very attentive to this gift.

Holding the jade pendant given by his lover, Ayu fell asleep sweetly.

Cao Jiong practiced for a whole afternoon and it became dark after taking a shower.

He came to the front yard early to wait for his brother.

Cao Lian came back today early. Seeing his younger brother coming to him on his own initiative, Cao Lian couldn't help but wonder if his younger brother had caused some serious disaster.

"What's the matter?" Cao Lian sat in the main seat and asked while drinking tea.

Cao Jiong drove away the maid Chunyue and said what he met in the mountains today, with a hint of anger in his words: "He Xu Qian doesn't even take our father seriously, but now he is thinking about Ayu. He is such a hypocrite. Unfortunately, Ayu is young and ignorant, confused by his appearance, and seems to like him a little."

Cao Lian glanced at him and asked, "How do you know if A Yuxi likes him?"

Cao Jiong sighed: "Ayu said it personally, it is her honor to say that Xu Qian likes her."

Cao Lian also wanted to sigh, and his younger brother and sister were very stupid.

But in order to avoid making more jokes from my brother or embarrassing my sister, Cao Lian still said: "Actually, Ayu and Xu Qian have already made an oral engagement, and the old lady Xu came to personally bring her a marriage to her father."

When Cao Jiong heard this, his eyes wider than a copper bell.

Cao Lian stared at him and said, "Father was afraid that you would spread it, so he didn't tell you."

Cao Jiong:...

It turns out that my father and brother still regard him as a child!

The injury of self-esteem overcame the shock at this marriage. Cao Jiong walked out with a dark face, walked a few steps and turned around, and said angrily: "When will you not treat me as a child? You even hide such a big thing from me!"

Cao Lian thought about it and said seriously: "You are not young anymore and it's time to get married. By then, you will not be a child in my eyes."

Cao Jiong quilted his neck: "Get married is getting married, isn't it just a marriage? Am I still afraid that this will happen?"

Cao Lian said: "Okay, I will help you pay attention to the right candidate."

After saying that, Cao Lian put down the tea bowl and went to change his clothes.

Cao Jiong watched his brother leave, and suddenly thought of something. The elder brother himself had not gotten married, so why did he worry about his marriage first?

As soon as October entered, it was snowing heavily in the capital. The day after tomorrow became colder and colder, and Ayu never went out again.

There is not much fun in the capital recently. Ayu concentrates on studying at home, and takes care of his younger brother when he is free, or learns from the nanny to learn to be a housekeeper. When the second snowfall in the capital was falling, Cao Ting'an sent a letter from home, saying that he would stay in the border until March next year. With the letter from home, there was a truck of high-end fur.

Ayu got two fox fur cloaks, but she missed her father even more.

My father is not at home, and the New Year is not worth looking forward to.

But there are people in the palace who are very happy.

In the East Palace, Ayu's concubine, the concubine Cao Wei, diagnosed the happy meridian. The prince was overjoyed and asked her with a smile what reward she wanted.

Cao Wei is not short of money or jewelry. Compared with those common things, she wants more decent.

Relying on the prince's warm chest, Cao Wei said softly: "It's almost a year since I entered the palace. I miss home. If you allow it, I want to invite my mother and sister to come to the palace to talk to me."

The prince touched the little woman's shoulders, and the corners of her lips were raised silently.

Cao Wei's background was that he could clearly understand it long before she entered the palace for the draft, knowing that she did not have much affection with the Jiang family mother and daughter. This time Cao Wei invited them to the palace, just to show off.

However, for the prince, this is a trivial matter.

The father gave the queen a face and he gave Cao Wei a face. Everyone in the capital would believe that the Cao family's status in the capital was as solid as a rock and could even go to a higher level.

The more crazy and arrogant Cao Tingan and his son, the more legitimate they were, the more righteous they were.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pass the message tomorrow and ask them to come to the palace to see you the next day." He hugged Cao Wei, and the prince's voice was gentle.
