Chapter 280: Lost
Chu Xinyu patted Chu Jiayu's hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, isn't this matter not implemented yet? The Qi family is interested, but our family may not be willing. Go back and discuss with grandmother and the second uncle and others, and then make plans."
She couldn't interfere rashly with the sisters' marriage. Even if she wanted to do it, she would do it secretly behind the scenes and could not leave anyone's words. Besides, Chu Jiayu was just worried. Chu Jiayi didn't say anything. Maybe she had other plans in her heart. When there was no one later, she would ask her about her wishes.
Speaking of the meal, Chu Xinyu sat next to Chu Jiayi and asked her quietly what she meant. Chu Jiayi was silent for a moment and said, "No one wants to marry a fool, but if this is fate, I can't do anything. Everything depends on the meaning of the elders."
One sentence expresses her sadness and helplessness.
Yes, whoever wants to marry a fool is better if she can't marry, but if she can't push her back, she will accept her fate.
Chu Xinyu thought with emotion that Chu Jiayi has always been doing what she is doing. She never fights and accepts her own destiny quietly. Such a girl is not suitable for complex families at all. If she marry to Qing'an Bo Mansion, her husband is a fool and she will definitely suffer a loss.
Maybe the Qi family has investigated their sisters' personalities before they decide to ask Chu Jiayi. They think that uncle and aunt are not strong people and do not have much strength or background. Given their situation in the Marquis' Mansion, if they can climb to the Qi family, it would be a blessing that Sansheng received.
If the Qi family is interested in Chu Jiaqi or Chu Jiating, she may not care about it, but Chu Jiayi cannot ignore it. She just can't promise in front of everyone that if something happens, she will be involved.
Seeing her lowered her eyes and silent, Chu Jiayi said, "Don't listen to the Seventh Sister, she was just frightened. You are about to marry into the Duke Rong's Mansion. It's better to have less trouble than more trouble."
Chu Xinyu did not answer, but just shook her hand gently, stood up, walked out of the tent, Lan Yi brought her a hat, and Sun Ruoya, An Qilan and others also came out.
"Fifth sister, I don't think you have eaten much. Is it not suitable for your appetite?" Chu Jiaqi quietly approached Chu Xinyu and said with a smile. All the food was eaten at noon. Many girls in Beijing didn't like it because it was difficult to remove the fishy smell after eating it.
"Yes, I'm not used to eating seafood." Chu Xinyu said. In fact, she likes seafood very much, but she just didn't have much appetite. She just took a few bites and put down her chopsticks.
Chu Jiaqi put on the hat and looked at Chu Xinyu with a smile and said, "I'm not full, so why don't we go there to find some food." As she said that, she pointed to the other end of the surging riverside.
There is an open space there with a stall on it. The various snacks and fried foods emit a burst of fragrance. The juggling and the gongs and drums are beating, and the ones who sell zongzi on stilts are really lively.
Chu Jiaqi pulled Chu Xinyu to a small stall, pointed to the thing in the steamer in front of him and said, "I want this, and I want this..."
After ordering a few things, he remembered Chu Xinyu beside him and said proudly: "By the way, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you."
When Chu Xinyu saw the golden pumpkin in the steamer, she had no appetite and suddenly felt a little appetite.
Chu Jiaqi was about to ask the boss to wrap the pumpkin pie, but Lan Yi was slowing down. Lan Yi took out money to buy all the pumpkin pie inside and shared it with others.
The pumpkin cakes were fragrant and soft, and melted at the mouth. These girls were very happy to eat. Chu Xinyu also ate two pumpkin cakes. There were also many snacks along the way. Their group was really eye-catching. However, with Chu Zhizhang and several guards secretly protecting them, no one dared to treat them.
They strolled around and ate some food, but they were all cooked food. However, Chu Jiayu and Sun Ruoya were both greedy people. After eating cooked food, they even went to mung bean ice juice. Fortunately, Chu Xinyu stopped them and ate them in hot and cold, which would be strange if they didn't have a stomachache.
Sun Ruoya and Chu Jiayu also knew this, but they couldn't control their mouths. After hearing Chu Xinyu say this, Chu Jiayu pouted and didn't dare to make trouble.
Chu Jiapeng and An Qilan did not come out, but Chu Jiayi didn't want to come out, but was pulled out by Chu Xinyu. The more he said he would hide, the more he would think about it. Anyway, he also had a hood, so he was not afraid of anyone recognizing it.
"I just saw a tea egg seller there. It looks pretty good. Do you want to try it?"
Tea eggs? Chu Jiayi had never heard of them, so she shook her head. She rarely went out and knew the snacks in the capital. No matter how good she was, she didn't have too many requirements for food, and what others gave her, so she had never heard of any tea eggs.
Chu Xinyu said: "When I was in Puling Temple, I secretly went down the mountain. There was a small shop at the foot of the mountain, which specialized in making this kind of tea egg. The tea smell was fragrant and strong, making people very appetizing. I don't know what it is in the capital."
"If you want to eat, go and try it." Chu Jiayi had no appetite, but she didn't want to sweep Chu Xinyu's excitement.
So the two went to the stall selling tea eggs. Chu Zhizhang was about to follow him, but he met a friend he knew and was pulled by the other party. The two walked away, and only Lan Yi served the guards left by Xie Zhengqing to follow him.
Chu Jiayu and Sun Ruoya did not follow. They were of similar interest and kept talking when talking, but did not notice that Chu Xinyu and Chu Jiayi had gone to other places.
Chu Jiaqi and Sun Ruoya couldn't get along, so she had to go with Chu Xinyu and the others.
Compared with other stalls, this tea egg stall is crowded with people, and the aroma emitted from the stove is very attractive. No wonder so many people come to eat it.
Chu Xinyu stepped forward and asked for three, and divided them into Chu Jiayi and Chu Jiaqi.
Chu Jiaqi frowned slightly, thinking that this kind of tea egg is very dirty, she still likes to eat white and tender, but when she saw Chu Jiayi taking it and eating it happily, she reluctantly took it. She took it with a small bite in disgust, and her eyes lit up. She ate all the eggs in a few seconds and asked for two more, and she ate one more than Chu Xinyu.
After eating, Chu Xinyu asked the boss to pack ten pieces for her, wrapped them in oil paper bags, and planned to take them back and share them with them.
At this time, more and more people surrounded him. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Chu Xinyu took them back. At first, Chu Jiayi held Chu Xinyu's hand tightly, but there were too many people, and the two were squeezed out by the crowd.
Chu Jiayi and Chu Jiaqi together, Lan Yi protected Chu Xinyu. Chu Xinyu was afraid that they would have any accidents, so she went to look for Lan Yi separately, but Lan Yi refused. Although there were many people in the dark, she was afraid that someone would do something in secret. Then she would regret it.
Seeing this, Chu Xinyu did not insist, and the two went to look for it together.
"Miss Chu Wu."
At this time, someone called her behind her, and they turned around and it was Lin Yu's maid Chang Xin.
