Chapter 80: Republican Marshal 02

Jiang Rui returned to the room and squinted for a while, but was awakened by the servant, and the old lady Wang wanted to talk to her.
She changed into a new goose-yellow cheongsam. Because of the hot weather, her clothes were sleeveless, and her white arms were exposed.
The old lady was stubborn and conservative. In the past, seeing Pan Susu dressed up like this, she always had to say one or two sentences. Today, not only did she have no words, but she also held her hand and couldn’t hide her joy, saying: "Little Qi, mother remembers her forever. Your kindness."
Jiang Rui said hurriedly, "Don't say such a thing, it's shameless Xiaoqi."
"I know you are a good boy. This time, Chang Yao was able to wake up thanks to you. From now on, you will be our decent wife. I am old. Sooner or later, the family affairs will be handed over to Chang Yao and you." Wang said.
Jiang Rui pursed his lips, hesitated to speak.
When Wang saw it, he said, "If you have something to say, what are the scruples of talking to your mother?"
"Mother, I want to continue school, can I?" Jiang Rui asked.
Pan Susu is a student at Fengcheng Women's University. After the summer break, he will be in the third grade. Jiang Rui knew that Wang meant to be her housekeeper, but instead of staying at home all day and taking care of a bunch of people eating and drinking, she was more willing to go outside, which was more in line with Pan Susu's temperament.
Wang cried, and finally agreed. Originally, Xiao Qi and Chang Yao were married, it was she who forced her to ask for anything. But she also commented, "Let’s live at home from now on, don’t live in any dormitories."
"Okay." Jiang Rui nodded, staying at home just convenient for her to contact Huo Changyao.
Leaving Wang's residence, Jiang Rui walked in the garden.
There are two bungalows in Huo Mansion, one is at the front and the other is at the back. Wang prefers quietness. After the boss passed away, she moved to the back. Pan Susu and Huo Changyao both live in the front.
Huo Changyao was in a coma a while ago, and the atmosphere at home was depressed and uneasy. Even the servants walked and talked with depression. Today he woke up, and the whole mansion was full of joy.
Several young servants were talking and laughing. When they saw Jiang Rui, they first called Miss Seven, and then they reacted. They all changed their mouths and called his wife. They would not adapt to this change.
Jiang Rui passed by with them. After walking ten steps, he could still hear the whispers behind him.
She ignored it, went back to the front, and was about to go upstairs. A person came down on the stairs, "Little Seven."
"Brother Six." Jiang Rui smiled at him.
The name of the person walking towards her was Xu Hansheng. Like Pan Susu, he was the adopted child of the Huo family and is now Huo Changyao's deputy.
Xu Han grew up gracefully. He didn't look like a soldier, but a literati scholar with a pen. He was also very gentle. He frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Rui worriedly.
The two were both adopted, and they were of a similar age. They had a good relationship since childhood. He was the only one who knew Pan Susu's mind. Because Huo Changyao was injured, he had been in the army for a while to stabilize the situation. Today, he hurried over when he learned that he was sober, but he heard the news that Pan Susu and Huo Changyao were married. Xu Hansheng's surprise was no less than Huo Changyao, who had just woke up.
"You and Big Brother..." He didn't know what to say.
Jiang Rui seemed unwilling to talk more about this issue, and said with a smile: "Big brother wakes up, sixth brother can relax. See you are so busy that you don't have time to shave your beard, just like an old man, ugly."
Seeing this, Xu Hansheng had to cooperate with a wry smile and said, "No, I have to ask him for a long vacation when he recovers."
"Is Big Brother asleep now?" Jiang Rui asked.
"No, I think he is in good spirits."
Although Huo Changyao was awake, he lost too much blood before, and fell asleep for a long time, and his physical strength was weak. The doctor asked him to cultivate for some time. The old lady loved her eagerly and told him to lie down and not get up.
Jiang Rui nodded, and gave way to the side, "Six brothers, let's go ahead and come back for dinner if you have time."
Xu Hansheng did have a lot of things. Although he wanted to talk to her, he didn't have time at the moment and could only leave in a hurry.
In the main room on the second floor, Huo Changyao was leaning on the bedside to read the military newspaper. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a figure passing by the door. He didn't notice at first, but soon thought of something and said, "Little Qi."
Jiang Rui had already walked a few steps away. Hearing this, he slowly returned back: "Big Brother."
Huo Changyao nodded the chair next to the bed, "Sit down, Brother has something to tell you."
There are many brothers and sisters in the Huo family, Pan Susu and Huo Changyao are the least close. He has neither the humor of the second child nor the gentleness and consideration of the sixth child. As the eldest brother, he shoulders heavy responsibilities early, and he always looks serious. Not smirking, such a character, the little girl will naturally hide away when she sees it.
Pan Susu was lively and playful in front of others, and when he was in front of him, he was as honest as a quail.
Jiang Rui sat down properly, putting his hands on his knees.
Huo Changyao closed the document and turned to look at her, with a little guilt in his words: "I didn't do this thing properly. I wronged you. Brother apologizes to you on her behalf."
Jiang Rui's eyes were sour, he shook his head hurriedly.
Huo Changyao again said: "My mother is frightened this time, I am afraid that she will not change her mind easily, so Brother needs you to cooperate for a while. After the matter is over, you will decide what to do. In the future, you will have someone you like, Brother Will explain it clearly to him, do you think it works?"
He has always been strong, except in front of the old lady, when did he use this tone to talk to people? This time I really felt guilty. After all, reputation is not a trivial matter for women.
If the real Pan Susu was here, he would feel relieved to hear these words. The sadness between Jiang Rui's eyebrows and eyes disappeared immediately, and he said hurriedly: "Yes, as long as the eldest brother gets better sooner, I'm fine."
Huo Changyao nodded: "You worked hard last night, go back and have a good rest."
"Big brother, too, have a good rest," Jiang Rui said.
Although listening to what Huo Changyao said, after this period of time, the old lady let go and let her decide whether to dissolve the marriage, but Jiang Rui felt that he underestimated Wang's determination.
Sure enough, the problem came when I was resting at night.
Wang actually went to the front building in person, watching people move Jiang Rui's belongings to Huo Changyao's room. She now believes very much about what the Taoist master said, lest the two sleep in separate rooms, they are not a real couple, and they must rest together.
Huo Changyao refused, and she began to wipe her tears, saying something she wanted to take away with him.
People who have always been strong, once they shed tears, others feel even more sad when they look at it. Besides, Huo Changyao is still her son, and finally had to agree.
The others left soon, and Jiang Rui stood there at a loss.
"Big brother, wait a moment for me to sneak back to the room." She whispered to Huo Changyao.
Huo Changyao frowned slightly, "Thanks for your hard work, I will persuade my mother again tomorrow."
The two of them sat dry in the room for a while. When there was no movement outside, Jiang Rui opened the door quietly. He just poked his head out, and immediately retracted, and said with a frown, "Big brother, mother let people stay outside."
Huo Changyao sighed secretly, propped up his body to get out of bed, "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry you sleep here tonight, I sleep on the sofa."
Jiang Rui hurriedly stopped him, "Let me sleep on the sofa."
"No way."
"But, brother, your body..."
"It's okay, you take a quilt from the cabinet and help Big Brother put it on the sofa."
Jiang Rui hesitantly glanced at the sofa that was not as long as hers, pursed his lips for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Brother, otherwise you go to bed too."
Huo Changyao flatly refused: "Little Qi, you don't have to persuade you anymore, I won't agree."
Marriage between the two is an expedient measure. If they share the same bed, what face does he have to say?
In the end, the two slept on a bed and a sofa. Huo Changyao's tall body was lying on the sofa without much movement. But Jiang Rui knew that he didn't fall asleep much.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Huo Changyao fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up soon.
Jiang Rui whispered in his ear: "Big Brother, Big Brother...Go to bed and sleep, I'm up."
Huo Changyao opened his eyes and looked at the sky. It was still very early, but Jiang Rui was already neatly dressed, apparently to make room for him specially, and got up early.
"You sleep a little longer," he said.
Jiang Rui said: "I'm not sleepy, I can't lie down anymore. And my mother may come to see him later, if I see my eldest brother sleeping on the sofa, I must be upset."
Huo Changyao got up and Jiang Rui helped him to lie down on the bed. It was the bed he was accustomed to sleeping, but at this time, the bed brought the body temperature of others, and the tip of his nose had a scent of smell, which made him feel uncomfortable inexplicably.
