Chapter 544 [Old 9 Gate 23]
Zhang Qishan's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes revealed a hint of confidence, and he said softly: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you promise me, your brother will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Youyou smiled slightly and nodded gently, saying, "Then I'll leave my brother's place to you." There was a hint of expectation and trust in her voice.
"Okay." Zhang Qishan looked at Youyou lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness. He reached out and gently stroked Youyou's hair, feeling her warmth and softness.
Youyou raised her head slightly, her eyes fell on Zhang Qishan's face, with an uneasy light flashing in her eyes. She snuggled up to Zhang Qishan and asked softly, "Master Buddha, do you think my brother will agree to me?"
Zhang Qishan smiled and consoled her, "Even if you don't agree, I've already decided on you. But I will definitely ask your brother for his consent. Don't worry, everything will go well."
Youyou blinked, thought for a moment, and suddenly made a suggestion: "How about I say a few good words for you, maybe it will be easier for you." Her tone was full of sincerity.
Zhang Qishan couldn't help laughing and said jokingly, "Are you sure it won't become as difficult as hell?"
Youyou frowned and asked in confusion, "Why? That shouldn't happen. My brother loves me the most, so he definitely won't do that. Besides, aren't you my brother's brother? You two have such a deep relationship, you won't quarrel, right?"
Zhang Qishan shook his head and explained, "Of course there won't be a quarrel, but your brother will definitely turn against you. After all, this matter involves you, so he may be more cautious than usual."
"How about this, you come back with me. If my brother makes things difficult for you, I will support you." Youyou looked at Zhang Qishan and said seriously.
"Okay then! In that case, I'll trouble Youyou." Zhang Qishan said with a smile.
So, Youyou took Zhang Qishan back to Li Jiuye's house. Zhang Qishan also brought the chessboard and some porcelain that Li Jiuye liked.
When they walked into the living room, Master Jie Jiu was playing chess. When he saw Zhang Qishan coming, he stood up to greet him.
"Master Buddha, how come you have time to come to my place today? And you brought so many gifts. Is there anything you need my help with?" Master Jiu asked with a smile.
"Haha, Master Jiu, don't be surprised, these are just small things. In fact, it's nothing big, it's just a small matter that needs your help." Zhang Qishan said with a smile.
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it." Mr. Jie Jiu asked curiously.
"Master Jiu, I don't want anything else. I only have one wish. I hope you can agree to it." Zhang Qishan said seriously.
"What's your wish? Tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, how would I know?" Mr. Jie Jiu said anxiously.
"Master Jiu, you can fulfill this wish, but I don't know whether you will agree to it. Master Jiu, you can rest assured, it is not something that is against the law of nature." Zhang Qishan said.
"Since the Buddha has said so, then I will agree to you. I just don't know what it is?" asked Master Jiu.
"Youyou and I are in love with each other. I hope you can agree. You can rest assured that I only love Youyou in this life." Zhang Qishan said to Youyou affectionately, and Youyou also looked at Zhang Qishan affectionately.
After hearing this, Master Jie Jiu's face instantly turned gloomy. He said angrily, "Master Buddha, I still treat you as a brother, but you dare to hit on my sister! You really want to be with me! Do you think you are worthy of my sister? I'm telling you, there's no way!"
Seeing this, Zhang Qishan hurriedly explained: "But brother, you just promised me, you can't go back on your word." He tried to persuade Master Jie Jiu to change his mind, but Master Jie Jiu was determined and unmoved.
So, Zhang Qishan looked at Youyou with a wronged look on his face, like an abandoned puppy, his eyes full of helplessness and loss.
When Youyou saw his look, she couldn't help laughing, then she patted his hand gently to comfort him.
Then, she turned to look at Master Jie Jiu and said, "Brother, I really like Zhang Qishan. Moreover, he is not only one of the most handsome men in Changsha, but also a man who keeps himself clean and has no gossip. Such an excellent man is definitely one of the best as my husband. Besides, brother, you won't suffer any loss! From now on, Zhang Qishan will have to call you 'brother'! It won't be a loss for you to have Master Zhang as your brother-in-law."
Hearing this, Master Jie Jiu's face became even gloomier. He glared at Zhang Qishan fiercely, cursing this guy in his heart for using sweet words to seduce his sister.
He turned around and said to Youyou, "Youyou, what kind of magic potion did Zhang Qishan give you that made you lean towards him? I am your biological brother! It would be fine if you didn't help me, but you actually spoke for outsiders."
Youyou quickly explained: "Brother, Zhang Qishan is not an outsider. I really like him. I know you are worried about me, but please trust my judgment. I will take good care of myself."
Seeing Youyou's determined eyes, Mr. Jie Jiu couldn't help but feel helpless. He sighed and asked, "Youyou, are you sure you want to choose Zhang Qishan? No matter what happens, will you stick to it?"
Youyou nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, I have made up my mind. I like Zhang Qishan, and this feeling will not change easily."
After a moment of silence, Master Jiujie turned his gaze to Zhang Qishan and asked, "Master Buddha, what about you? No matter what difficulties you encounter, will you choose our Youyou?"
Zhang Qishan replied solemnly: "Of course, I like Youyou, and this will never change. No matter what happens in the future, I will stay by her side, protect her, and cherish her."
"Okay, since neither of you will change, then Zhang Qishan, you just go back and wait. We will come to your house to propose marriage in a few days." Master Jie Jiu said.
"What? Proposal? Brother, you must have said it wrong. Shouldn't Zhang Qishan come to our Jie Mansion to propose marriage?" Youyou asked puzzledly.
"Yes, you heard it right. The daughters of our Xie family never marry outside the family. Usually, the man marries into our Xie family. So, Master Buddha, you just wait to be included in the family tree of our Xie family." Master Xie Jiu said.
"Brother, why didn't I know about this rule?" Youyou asked doubtfully. She didn't believe that there was such a rule in the family rules at all.
"Of course, you are the only girl in our Jie family's life. Daddy set this rule when you were born, and told me when I grew up." Master Jie Jiu said.
"Then why didn't I know about it?" Youyou still refused to believe it because she had never heard of this family rule.
"You were still young at that time, and Dad was worried that telling you would affect you, so he kept the matter a secret. It was not until I grew up that Dad told me about it and reminded me to abide by the family rules," explained Master Jiu.
"So that's how it is..." Youyou suddenly realized, but still felt a little dissatisfied, "But isn't this unfair to Master Buddha?"
"Master Buddha, what do you think? This is the rule of our Xie family. Do you agree or not?" asked Master Xie Jiu.
Before Zhang Qishan could speak, Youyou answered, "Brother, I don't agree. I don't want Zhang Qishan to marry into my family."
Zhang Qishan gently pressed Youyou's shoulders, touched her head tenderly, and said softly: "Be good, don't worry, let me take care of everything." Then he turned to look at Master Jie Jiu, his eyes firm and serious, and said: "Brother, are you telling the truth just now? As long as I agree to marry into your family, will you marry Youyou to me?"
Master Jie Jiu nodded slightly, with a hint of cunning and confidence in his eyes, and responded: "Yes, what I said is true. But one thing must be made clear, this is not my Youyou getting married off, but you marrying in. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes." After saying that, Master Jie Jiu raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile, as if he had already seen the scene of the future.
"Okay, I agree. It's just marrying into your Xie family. As long as I can be with Youyou, nothing else matters." Although Zhang Qishan was a little surprised, he made a decision quickly. He looked at Youyou deeply, his eyes full of love and determination.
After hearing this, Master Jiu Xie showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Master Buddha, you are so straightforward. In this case, I will pick an auspicious day to settle the matter between you two."
"Okay, thank you, brother." Zhang Qishan said gratefully. He knew that Master Jie Jiu was helping him so that he could be with Youyou smoothly.
Master Jiu Xie waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself. The wedding will be held at your Zhang Mansion. Master Fo, you can go back first. Don't forget to come to our Jie Mansion to propose."
Zhang Qishan was very surprised to hear this. He originally thought that he would marry into the Xie family, but he did not expect that Master Xie Jiu was so understanding and willing to marry Youyou to him and hold the wedding at Zhang's house. This was undoubtedly a huge surprise for him.
"Brother, you..." Youyou was also shocked by what Master Jie Jiu said. She widened her eyes and looked at Master Jie Jiu in disbelief.
Zhang Qishan held Youyou's hand tightly and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." He turned to look at Master Jie Jiu and said sincerely, "Thank you for your understanding and support, brother. I will definitely cherish this happiness."
Master Jiu Xie smiled and patted Zhang Qishan on the shoulder: "Okay, take Youyou back to rest quickly, and remember to come to our Jie Mansion to propose according to etiquette. Master Buddha, what I said before was just to test whether you really like our Youyou. This is my only sister, Master Buddha, I hope you treat her well, otherwise we in the Jie Mansion are not easy to mess with."
Zhang Qishan nodded and said, "I will, brother, don't worry."
