Chapter 1261 - 968 Suisui Says I Want to Wander Jianghu
Hu Shu’Er ultimately lost to Ji Youlin, who was nagging endlessly and smugly happy like a fool.
Blushing, she carried a small bundle and headed towards Yanyun Ridge with them.
"Our Sixth Young Master is really lucky. Who would have thought that with his blockhead he could win such a beautiful wife?"
A few big-headed soldiers looked at the couple riding the same horse and followed behind slowly, feeling quite bitter.
"Indeed, fellows, do you remember the bet we placed when we first came to Yun County?"
Someone suddenly chuckled, recalling that old bet. If calculations were made, he might earn quite a bit!
"What bet?
I’m getting old and can’t remember."
A soldier in his thirties looked up at the sky, very reluctant to admit that when they first heard from the Eighth Young Master that none of them were allowed to approach the future Sixth Mistress or her family to reveal their identities, they had wagered on whether the Sixth Young Master’s blockhead would ever succeed on his own.
If they arrived in Yun County and were only allowed to help rescue people, but not do anything else, based on Sixth Young Master’s wood-brained mind, he would surely not wed a wife.
This thought was shared by most of them.
Therefore, a betting pool was opened, although there was only one person betting on Ji Youlin’s success.
That person was actually just a bit hopeful, thinking that since Ji Youlin was still a Ji Family member, if the Ji Family felt sympathetic or were eager for him to marry, they might reveal his status.
After all, the Ji Family were nobles in the capital, and if they exerted pressure with their power...
Unexpectedly, as things unfolded, just when everyone thought Ji Youlin’s efforts would end in failure, Miss Hu herself came forward.
Looking at the sweet couple ahead, a group of old bachelors behind couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts.
If even a straightforward guy like Sixth Young Master could find a wife, where exactly were they lacking compared to him?
So unfair!
Over at Yanyun Ridge, Ji Youcheng did a very efficient job and took Princess Pearl to see the house in just a few days.
The five-courtyard estate was more than a whole circle larger than the General’s Mansion.
"This... this is too big! I never thought that such a small Yanhui City would have such a large courtyard, even bigger than the Princess’s quarters in the Palace."
Enchanting indeed, she swayed her hips and looked all around as she walked under the eaves, full of admiration.
"The courtyard wasn’t originally this large. I just bought the three adjacent courtyards and connected them. We found people to work overnight to modify the walls, and fenced it up, doing a temporary renovation. Within a few days, it took shape. It’s not completed yet, but rest assured, by the time your wedding day arrives, the house will definitely be ready."
Standing in the middle of the Garden, Ji Youcheng pointed at an archway and said: "If you go out through this archway, there used to be a path there. We’ve sealed it off and opened a gate here and another over there. That will be the Guest Courtyard and this will be your Main Courtyard. Over there is Old Eight’s Study and Conference Hall. If any generals come for a meeting with the war approaching, Old Eight will host them over there without disturbing you two."
Hearing Ji Youcheng’s words, Princess Pearl and Ji Youze listened quietly without interrupting, as they both knew that this was only a temporary residence, and that they would eventually return to the capital.
Xiaosuisui rode Da Hu into the scene unhappily questioning Ji Youcheng.
"Third Uncle, what about my courtyard? Why didn’t you plan a courtyard for Suisui?"
Hearing this, Ji Youcheng couldn’t help but laugh.
"Naturally, you don’t have a courtyard. Here, you and Third Uncle are both guests in the Guest Courtyard. We’ll stay a few days, and once your Eight Uncle and Aunt are married, you’ll return to the capital with Third Uncle."
Hearing this, Xiaosuisui pouted.
"I don’t want to go back to the capital. I want to roam the Jianghu!"
Recently, being frequently with the big-headed soldiers, she suddenly learned the term "roam the Jianghu."
