Chapter 1061: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (5)
Xiao Jianlu's face was full of disbelief. He had always known that Yuan Zhaoyue was proud and had a sense of superiority in her bones, but in the past few years of being married, she had always suppressed this temper and tried her best to give him respect.
He thought Yuan Zhaoyue liked him, but what she said just now completely shattered Xiao Jianlu's understanding of this marriage.
In fact, Yuan Zhaoyue still wanted to endure it. After all, she was not pregnant yet and should not break up with Xiao Jianlu. But from the situation just now, if she didn't strengthen his will, who knows what kind of disaster this man would cause.
After being scolded by his wife, Xiao Jianlu didn't know how to refute. He could only keep saying: "You...you!" In the end, he only said one sentence - it was so polite.
Yuan Zhaoyue had been married to this man for several years and had already figured out Xiao Jianlu's temper.
Although Xiao Jianlu was born in the market, his father was always very strict with him, so he had little contact with the quarrels of the market rogues since he was a child.
Later, I entered a private school, but was unable to integrate into another circle.
Being outside of both circles would only make him know a little bit about everything, but he would not have a deep understanding of any circle.
So even a year ago, when Yuan Xu wanted to change his son-in-law's official position to that of a county magistrate, he was persuaded by Yuan Zhaoyue.
"Dad, you don't need to waste any more energy on Xiao Jianlu." Yuan Zhaoyue said to his father, "You said he is incompetent! He manages the warehouse well, but if you say he is capable, he doesn't understand other people's hints."
"People who are so conventional like this generally don't achieve anything great!" Yuan Zhaoyue sighed, "You should leave these connections and opportunities to your future grandchildren!
It was just bad luck. I finally reached the age where I could have children, but my old lady passed away, forcing me to endure another year."
"Don't worry, don't worry. They say that late-blooming flowers are more fragrant. Who knows, when luck arrives, you might even have a boy!" Yuan Xu comforted his daughter.
This time, seeing that the time was ripe, Yuan Xu transferred Xiao Jianlu to the same level, which happened to be the end of the mourning period.
Yuan Zhaoyue was the type of person who knew when to quit. Seeing that Xiao Jianlu was speechless, she did not pursue him any further.
However, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became a little sad and depressing.
On the other side, Xue Yuan and the other two rode their horses back to the horse farm in the suburbs.
They had no plans to return to the city today and were going to spend the night at the horse farm. That was why Ning Xiu had come along - he was determined not to let his sister be alone with this man before the wedding.
In the evening, the three of them drank and ate in the yard, having a great time.
In the past few years, Ning Yun and Xue Yuan learned not only painting but also playing the piano from Lu Feng.
Under the moonlight, after three rounds of drinks, Ning Yun felt in high spirits and played two songs for her brother and her fiancé.
The first one was okay, nothing special.
But the second song was a tune from the Ning family's hometown, soft and lingering. It was the tune that their father Ning Yasi would hum on their mother Tao Fangfei's birthday.
"Sese, you!" After the song ended, Ning Xiu pointed at his sister, not knowing whether he should tell her the origin of the song.
Lovers naturally have ways of understanding each other. Although Xue Yuan knew the inner story of the song, he could hear the emotions contained in the melody.
Although they had been engaged for several years, Xue Yuan always remembered that Ning Yun had arranged the marriage with him in order to avoid entering the palace. He himself had also said that after the hype of the selection had passed, if the other party wanted to cancel the engagement, he would never refuse.
After living in fear for the past few years, Xue Yuan could feel that Ning Yun was gradually accepting the engagement during their daily interactions, and her eyes were also slowly changing when she looked at him. However, this was the first time he had faced Ning Yun's feelings so directly.
"Sese, is this song played for me?" Even though he had already heard the song and Ning Xiu was present, Xue Yuan still couldn't help but ask, "Is it played for me?"
Ning Xiu watched the man getting closer and closer to his sister and quickly said, "Are you blind? What's this for you? I'm still here! Xue Yuan, you're almost fourteen. Can you calm down a little? Just one piece of music has brought you to this state."
"What's wrong with being fourteen? Even if I were forty or eighty, I'd still be this excited when I heard Sese playing music for me!" Xue Yuan was almost talking without thinking. "Brother-in-law, you don't understand the feeling here since you don't have a crush on someone!"
Ning Xiu: (??へ??╬), what are you talking about? He doesn't want to get engaged, okay? Otherwise, when all the sons-in-law in the city were available, with his talent, he would have been married long ago.
Perhaps sensing that his brother was about to get angry, Ning Yun quickly said, "Alright, just keep it to yourself. After all, we haven't gotten married yet, so let's just keep it to ourselves."
Xue Yuan seemed even more excited when he heard Ning Yun talking about getting married: "Sese, when I turn fifteen, we'll get married. You don't know how hard it is for me every time I send you home and can't enter the same house with you. I really hope time can go faster!"
