After Ye Shuo exclaimed in surprise, he also realized that his actions were too disrespectful. However, he felt awkward for an instant, before he looked at Xu Yanzhu seriously and asked: ”Cousin sister, are you really getting married?”

After saying that, Ye Shuo thought for a while, then asked with his eyes shining: ”Which family's young master is it? Why haven't I heard of anyone getting married in Beijing? ” The more Ye Shuo spoke, the more confused he felt. Only after thinking about the few people he knew who deserved to be his cousin, did he confirm that he did not remember wrongly.

”Cousin, I'm really getting married.” Xu Yanzhu replied lightly. Seeing that his eyes were filled with curiosity, she pretended to be angry and said: ”These things, are not things that you can ask.”

'Cousin's words are wrong. A few days ago, mother was talking about this with father. She wanted to find a scholar or a High Scholar to be her husband. Before I came here, father had already started asking about this matter. ”

Ye Shuo said those words with a serious face. Just by looking at his expression, one would not be able to tell that he was lying.

After hearing what Ye Shuo had said, Dong Shu's eyes lit up with excitement. She couldn't help but clench Xu Shiqiu's hand who was holding her hand tightly.

Sensing Young Girl's nervousness, Xu Shiqiu looked at Ye Shuo and closely questioned, ”Did your mother really tell your father about your cousin's marriage?”

Of course. If Third Uncle doesn't believe me, you can write and ask Mother.” Seeing that Xu Shiqiu didn't believe him, Ye Shuo was a little angry, but seeing his third uncle's serious look, he still patiently said, ”Mother said that she doesn't have a daughter, and her two nieces only have Cousin Yanzhou to worry about. That's why I got father to watch out for Cousin Yanzhou. ”Mother also said that it would be best if the Elementary Scholar was prepared to take the Imperial Examinations next year. This way, they would be able to set up a marriage agreement. Next year, they could wait for him to become a High Scholar, just in time to arrange a marriage for his cousin.

After hearing Ye Shuo's words, Xu Shiqiu actually believed him.

These words might have come from her sister.

”Then …”

”Third Uncle!”

Xu Shiqiu still wanted to continue to ask, but Xu Yanzhu cut him off, ”Third Uncle doesn't need to ask, since Father and Mother have already chosen a husband for me, I will marry then, and no need to trouble Aunt and Uncle anymore.”

Xu Yanzhu's tone was firm. After she finished speaking, she immediately stood up and bowed to Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, ”Third Uncle, Third Aunt, it's about time for me to pay respects to the Buddha. I'll be leaving first.” With that, Xu Yanzhu turned and left without waiting for Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu to speak.

After Xu Yanzhu had walked very far away, Ye Shuo finally regained his senses and looked at Xu Shiqiu: ”Third Uncle, my cousin, she …”

”This is not something you can handle. I will write to your mother about it and see what she has in mind.” Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, the eyes of Ye Shuo, who was initially disappointed by what he had said, instantly lit up. Seeing his expression, Xu Shiqiu shot him a glance before continuing, ”I will write this letter in secret to your mother. You are not allowed to peek at it!”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Ye Shuo was like a rooster whose neck had been strangled. He wanted to laugh proudly but was unable to make a single sound.

Only, Ye Shuo was still a little unwilling in his heart.

Ever since he was young, he liked to inquire about his own background.

This was also the only thing that interested him.

”This is about your cousin's life, so you'd better remember my words. If I knew that you were spying on this letter, I would definitely teach you a lesson. ” Just by looking at Ye Shuo's expression, Xu Shiqiu was able to guess what he was thinking. He first gave him a big stick, then continued: ”However, there is still one thing that Third Uncle wants you to do secretly. It is something that you enjoy doing.”

Ye Shuo was originally sad, because he thought of what his grandmother had said. Today's Third Uncle's words also confirmed that he knew that he had opened mufei's letter before.

However, after hearing what the Third Uncle said later, Ye Shuo still looked at him excitedly and asked: ”Don't worry Third Uncle, as long as it's something that I like to do, I will do it well for you.” As he spoke, Ye Shuo even patted his chest to show that he was very capable.

”This matter is not difficult to accomplish, but it is still difficult to accomplish.”

The more Xu Shiqiu said this, the more interested he became. He couldn't wait to hear the specific arrangements of the Third Uncle.

”I will be going to the capital early next year, but I have been away from the capital for many years, so I do not know much about the situation there. Now, I want you to help me go back to the capital and investigate some things. If you find anything useful, you can write it all to me. As for how to contact me, I will tell you before you return to the capital. ”Well, are you interested?”

”Interested!”

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Ye Shuo immediately answered him, but after saying that, Ye Shuo immediately looked at Xu Shiqiu and chuckled: ”However, Third Uncle, for information, you sometimes need to treat people to a meal, see ….”

”I will give you the silver as well, but you have to control it well. You can't waste it.”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Shuo did not have any more problems, he strongly patted Xu Shiqiu's shoulders, and after saying that he had eyes, Ye Shuo anxiously returned to his own courtyard, and started thinking about how to help the Third Uncle with this after he returned to the capital. Even the matter of him going out to play on the second day had lost its appeal.

As for the matter of Xu Yanzhu's marriage, Ye Shuo had already decided. Since Third Uncle did not say anything, and he was not allowed to peek at the letter, then he would wait until he returned to the capital to find out about it from his mother.

Even if he couldn't find out from mufei, his little brother who spent most of his time with mufei would be clear about this.

Just as Ye Shuo decided to buy something new from the outside world to trick his brother into asking for more information, Cui Hua also brought Shi Yuan and the Zhu Clan back.
