Chapter 277 The Sinner’s Daughter 25
It seems that today we are going to investigate and force people to get married.
Xining has made plans to stick to the end and never compromise.
Xu Mian sat there and said coldly and unpopularly: "You tell me."
Zhang Zhong clasped his fists behind him: "I'm here to apologize today. It's me who didn't handle things well and made Miss Gu feel wronged."
What does it mean? Xining tilted his head slightly, with a confused look on his face.
Xu Mian said leisurely: "I am interested in you, and it is business, so I asked Zhang Zhong to ask the official media to propose marriage. I didn't expect that the official media was here and messed up the matter. I hereby come to apologize to the Gu family."

Xining secretly rolled his eyes, who are you kidding? The official media could only listen to Jin Yiwei's words.
But he couldn't speak clearly, so Xining smiled faintly: "Since it's a misunderstanding, just resolve it. Mr. Zhang doesn't have to blame himself."
"Where, where! Thank you Miss Gu Haihan." Zhang Zhong lowered his head slightly, but thought in his heart, I am blaming myself for what Master Xu said.
"Then I won't disturb you, sir." Xi Ning found that there was no tea cup around him. The maid in the living room was so frightened that the master didn't prepare any tea, otherwise she picked up the tea and signaled to see the guests off.
I can only be straightforward, holding a round fan and bowing my head slightly: "My lord, please come back."
Furong behind her was about to say goodbye when she was glared at by Zhang Zhong across from her. She was so frightened that she swallowed her words together with her saliva. She choked and coughed repeatedly.
Xining rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea: "Maybe the weather is hot and hot. Many people at home have caught wind and cold in the past few days. We can't show the illness to the adults. My daughter will take her down now instead of sending the adults away!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the living room door.
But before he reached the door, a tall figure flashed and Zhang Zhong stopped in front,
If you don't have the ability to fight Jin Yiwei, even if you can win, it will still be the Gu family who will be injured or die. Xining could only stop and turned around to look at Xu Mian who was still sitting: "What do you mean, sir?"
Xu Mian stood up and walked over slowly. His tall figure was condescending, giving him a great sense of oppression. There was no warmth in his cold eyes: "You really don't want to marry me?"
If you are willing to be a hammer, do you know that even if you are handsome, your appearance will scare people to death. Not many girls have such strong tastes.
Xining smiled lightly: "My little girl only wants stability, not wealth."
According to Xu Mian's current age and ability, sooner or later he will become the commander of the Jinyi Guards. There is currently a vacancy in the Jinyiwei command post, and the predecessor is judged to be an accomplice of King An. King An died happily with a glass of poisoned wine, but he suffered a tragic death. His whole family was executed, and the three Yi tribes were executed. And when he was in late autumn, the emperor ordered more than a thousand swords to be executed, which might be divided into three days, which was very satisfying.
The whistleblower in the Anwang case was Xu Mian.
Not to mention the predecessors, most of the Jinyiwei commanders did not end well. The current ratio is said to be 11 to 4, which means 11 did not end well. They were either disgraced and exiled, or beheaded in Lingchi. Only four retired and died.
"Miss, there is something else I have here." Xu Mian stretched out his hand, which was the golden hairpin that he had taken off from her head before.
Xining took a breath and her voice trembled a little: "Then will you give it back to me?"
Zeng Chao's rules were strict, even to the point of lunacy. If Xu Mian used the gold hairpin to make a fuss, it could be said that it was a secret gift, then the owner would have lost her virginity and would have to agree to the marriage.
There is no need to snatch the marriage, Jin Yiwei has many ways to get married even if she doesn't want to marry. Otherwise, you have to hang yourself, or go to your family temple to worship the ancient Buddha with green lanterns for the rest of your life.
"It was originally yours." Xu Mian's words remained calm and cold as usual: "Take it!"
"Thank you, sir." Xining stretched out his hand and held one side of the gold hairpin, but Xu Mian did not let go.
Xu Mian looked at her with cold black eyes, and said softly: "Xin'er!" Xining almost lost her legs. What was she going to do?
There were slight ripples in Xu Mian's seemingly bottomless eyes: "I hope you will reconsider the marriage between you and me. If I marry you, I will never let you down."
Everyone present widened their eyes... Is this a confession?
Xi Ning was holding one end of the golden hairpin, her hands were shaking... She didn't even have the strength to pull the golden hairpin back. The body owner's reaction was too great and there was no way to control it.
Xu Mian slowly let go of his hand, turned around and left with Zhang Zhong.
After Xu Mian left, Furong supported her and her voice was trembling: "Miss, let's go!"
At this time, Xi Ning was dripping with cold sweat, secretly blaming the owner for not having the ability to work so hard to create the feeling.
She composed herself: "Let's go!" With Fu Rong's support, she returned to her courtyard and asked the other maids to take care of her bathing and changing clothes. She asked Fu Rong to go to the old lady's room to reply.
Although Fleur is timid, she knows what to say and what not to say.
After washing up, I leaned on the bamboo mat, shaking my fan gently, and heard a few frogs croaking from the pond outside. Now I can still enjoy some coolness at night, but in January it will be midsummer. Without an ice basin, it will be really terrible.
Looking back on Xu Mian who came in the evening, she personally felt that Xu Mian was quite good and needed to be saved. But the body owner is not happy!
If you don’t agree, he’s quite handsome! He has a high position, a promising future, and is a man of great wealth and handsomeness!
People are a bit cold, and you will get used to it gradually. In this dynasty, it was all about the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Official ladies sometimes inquired about each other or made friends with each other's sisters through poetry gatherings and flower gatherings between various houses. If you were lucky, you could see them through the screen, or meet them by chance on the road. something. There are so many people who get married without even meeting each other.
Mo Ming: "I think it's pretty good too. He is the number one interrogator of prisoners in Beizhen Fusi, and all those who have been interrogated by him refuse to speak. Agree. After we get married, you can also go to the scene to see the interrogation in the imperial prison. Art.”
Xining...can you shut up?
The body owner trembled from the bottom of his heart, let alone let her agree.
This guy Xu Mian only suits Mo Ming's special appetite.
Picking up the golden hairpin from the side, this exquisitely crafted and richly made hairpin returned to the owner's hands.
In this era, not to mention the gold hairpin given as a gift, even a single ropa can force a woman to hang herself. Xu Mian gave up the best and biggest evidence. Was he playing hard to get, or did he really fall in love with the body owner?
At this time, a strange feeling slowly overflowed from the bottom of his heart. Xining felt it and laughed. His heart beat a little fast. Is this a pounding?
Put down the gold hairpin, pick up the round fan and shake it... Since Xu Mian said these words today, it is obvious that he will not push too hard in the near future and think carefully about whether to accept this Jin Yiwei Tongzhi as his husband.
Matchmaker Zhao finally stopped going to Gu's house and squatted every day. There were still rumors in the capital that Xu Mian had taken a liking to Gu Yuanxin. But there are a lot of things going on in the capital, and there will definitely be bigger things worth talking about in the near future.
In the height of summer in June, cicadas kept calling.
The heat was unbearable, so the old lady sent the housekeeper to buy ice. I don’t dare to buy too much, only one pot per house per day.
I haven't bought the ice today yet. There is no ice in the ice cellar at home. The ice I bought cannot be stored for a long time, so I can only use it as I buy it.
I was shaking my fan, sweating and waiting impatiently, when the porter came to report the news. The ice arrived, not just a few basins, but Mr. Xu Mian from Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, who packed all the ice in the ice shop and asked the ice shop clerk to deliver it to Gu's house!
