The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 164 164. Marriage

Feng Jinyao and Madam Feng looked at each other, somewhat surprised.

In the past, the Bai family and the Xu family did not have much contact. Although the younger generations had close contacts, it was only Bai Siruo and Xu Mingyue who had a good relationship.

One of them is the Prime Minister and the other is the Pavilion Elder. They are both high-ranking and powerful people. If they really have close contact, I am afraid they will be arranged by someone.

Now that I came here for the purpose of visiting a doctor, it was justifiable.

In Shoukang Courtyard, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xu hit it off immediately. They were like childhood playmates, talking and laughing, and it was so lively.

Sitting in the room were Mrs. Lin and Princess Wen Yi, while on the other side were Xu Mingyue and Bai Siruo, who were reluctant to leave.

Xu Mingyue was supposed to leave for Wenjin Academy two days ago. If she hadn't been anxious to take a look at Bai Siruo, everyone would have been sitting in the academy right now.

"Hey, life flies by so fast, you are about to become a master."

"Dongdu City is not far away. When your grandfather recovers from his illness, you can invite Ayao to come to me. Then I will take you to see the peach blossoms in the mountain temple. I heard it is a unique feature of Wenjin Academy."

Her words were full of hope for a new life in the future, and Bai Siruo was happy to see her looking so bright and lively.

"It's a deal, let Ayao bring the peach blossom wine when the time comes, and the three of us will not return until we get drunk!"

The little sisters were talking to each other, sometimes dancing, sometimes hiding their handkerchiefs and snickering, but Mrs. Feng and Feng Jinyao, who had just walked in, listened attentively.

"Si Ruo, I haven't seen you for a long time and you are already thinking about A Yao's peach blossom stuffing. You have to go to a good academy and get drunk. Be careful that Dean Wang kicks you out." Mrs. Feng said jokingly.

Since she recovered, she has resumed her usual walks.

It's just that the Feng family has been having troubles one after another, so she has been delayed at home for a while. Otherwise, she is also very lively. When she has nothing to do, she will go to the Bai family to play dominoes with her two younger siblings.

"Sister, is she here? Come and sit here quickly."

My eldest aunt Lin was the most enthusiastic. She hurriedly gave up her seat and asked someone to bring her the Jingming tea she loved to drink on weekdays. It had a unique flavor when paired with the newly made snacks in the small kitchen.

"Brothers and sisters are just being polite."

Mrs. Feng stepped forward to greet Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xu before sitting down. She thanked Mrs. Xu profusely, "If it hadn't been for the purple jade dew that Mingyue sent last time, I'm afraid the master would still be in pain now. The effect of stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis on the wound is really good!”

Qiao looked at Xu Mingyue with a sweet smile, becoming more and more pleased with her.

The elders are all here today, so we can take a look.

"Aunt Feng, you are very polite. We are just borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha. The things were sent by a grandfather from Jiangnan. If you have a chance to go to Jiangnan, I can introduce you to them."

"Oh? Jiangnan is a good place, but now aren't you going to Wenjin Academy to become a master? Do you still have time to go to Jiangnan with us?"

Xu Mingyue smiled and said, "Auntie may have forgotten that Wenjin Academy also has a branch in Jiangnan. I'm not sure whether the dean will send me there by then."

When Bai Siruo heard this, she was a little unhappy, "Why go so far away? Are you not getting married? Or do you want to marry far away? What about Mr. Xu Ge and Mrs. Xu?"

Xu Mingyue felt dumbfounded when she asked a series of questions.

"I just said it was possible, but I didn't say I had to go. Why did it come to the matter of getting married?"

The eldest aunt Lin asked with added jealousy, "Girl Mingyue is not young anymore. Now Siruo is engaged, so don't keep delaying. It's a pity that I have no children, otherwise such a good daughter-in-law would be broken." I’ll snatch your head away.”

What she said made Mrs. Xu feel comfortable, "The girl is still young. I have discussed it with her grandfather. This time, no one can use the orders of her parents to suppress her. Unless my granddaughter chooses by herself, otherwise, it will be for the rest of her life." It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t marry. As long as she is happy.”

After breaking off the engagement, the two elders also figured out that reputation and face were not as important as their granddaughter's happiness.

Mrs. Feng originally wanted to speak on behalf of her son, but that boy had no good reputation and no official position. He just followed the Su family's idle activities all day long. If she were from the Xu family, she would probably not look down on such a guy. Grandson-in-law.

Forget it, let's wait until after his spring. If he can be on the list, there may be a chance to marry the Xu family.

Feng Jinyao saw her mother's thoughts and nodded to her to reassure her.

As long as she is here, the "second sister-in-law" can't run away. Besides, the second brother may also have thoughts about her. Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to send someone home on Lantern Festival night?

Although it is said that the causes are determined by God, everything depends on man.

We can wait until spring to discuss everything. It’s not too late.

Seeing that the situation had cooled down, Princess Wen Yi took the initiative to interrupt the conversation and brought the conversation to the issue of the foreign vassal's imperial congratulations.

"I heard that the West Market is very lively these days, and the merchants who came from the outer vassal brought a lot of strange things. In a few days, when things are calm at home and the weather gets warm, I will take you to have a look. My sister-in-law at home sent me a pair of red coral headbands, which I bought from a foreign businessman. It’s very beautiful.”

"How about we, Si Ruo, have a good life? We haven't even gotten married yet, and my mother-in-law is already rushing to bring things to pack for you." When Ms. Lin said this, she was beaming with joy, which actually made Bai Siruo blush. .

They were talking lively, but in the study, Bai Xiang, who was "seriously ill", was fighting fiercely with Mr. Xu Ge in the chess game.

"I heard from Da Lang, is it feasible for you to let the boy from the Feng family go to Jiangnan?"

"Don't worry, my grandson is the most cautious in doing things. If he really finds out something, he will not easily alert the snake. Besides, Xu Lin is following him. He is the person sent by Prince Ding, so he can't make any mistakes."

Mr. Xu Ge snorted, "Prince Ding is really interested in you. Xu Lin is the leader of the secret guard camp in his mansion. Even he was lent to follow A Xu. Tsk tsk, there is something fishy in it!"

With a bang, he ate four Baixiang pieces in a row.

The beard on the side of his mouth was raised high, as if he was in the mood at this time.

"What's the matter? Last time when Prince Ding came to the mansion to talk to me about the Water Transport Department, he mentioned Xu Lin."

Prime Minister Bai and Mr. Xu Ge are people who know the abilities of King Ding and have some understanding of the power in his hands. But what is the purpose of this old man Xu saying this?

"You, you are so old and confused. You don't understand what's going on. Do you really think that boy is just for the Water Transport Department? Who in that faction is not a faction? Do you have to send Xu Lin?"

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Bai Xiang was too lazy to chatter with him and guess his thoughts here.
